I'm an American living in Okinawa Japan, Just bought an apple os-x now I'm trying to buy some movies, but not authorized because my computer is American is there a way to get around this? I have a Visa and can use this any where in Japan and in the States. However, when I try to use it with Apple it will not allow. Can I use PayPal?

It isn't that your Mac is US, it's that your bank is US. To buy from the store for a country, you must be a resident and have a bank card from a bank in that country with a billing address in that country.


If you have a US bank card with a US billing address, you should be able to buy from the US store, even from Japan.
