Q: How can I change the ITunes store for purchases from Turkey to UK?

Hi!

 

I bought my macbook at Turkey but now I live in UK, when I want to purchase smt from Itunes store, it says I could only make purchases from Turkish store, is there a way I could change the store? There are stuff I want to buy but I can't because of my Apple ID and the purchase restriction

 

Any help would be much appreciated

    You need to open a UK account to buy from the UK Store. AFAIK, the accounts are separate and specific to each country.

    Yes,  as Lanny says, accounts are specific to the country.   You would need to open a UK account to use the UK app store which would also mean you would need a UK residential address for billing purposes and a credit card supported by a UK bank.

     

    Remember, too.   Any apps purchased through your Turkish account can only be updated using the details from that account.  Apps are not transferable and Apple does not allow accounts to be merged.
