Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am unable to download a TV series I purchased in the UK on the UK iTunes Store now that I have moved to Australia and changed my location settings. The Australian iTunes Store is asking me to re-purchase it, even though I have previously paid for it in sterling.
Any help how to get this series?
Hello, my friend I had the same issue as you when I got moved, so here's the solution:
Move your Adress to the original adress you've got before, then, redownload everything you had, after doing all that, set your adress to Australia again.
Does it help?
I believe what you are experiencing is nothing unusual when you change stores. Each country's store is its own entity (because of licensing and taxes, etc.). The best thing to do is make sure you have a solid backup before changing countries.
You can try as dudualmeida suggests but: 1) You are technically in violation of most countrys' iTunes Store restrictions on trying to access the store from outside the country (Apple could potentially even monitor this and block you); 2) You have to wait 90 days between store changes, so factor this in.

Thanks guys - seems a bit late to download it and too much effort for 1 TV series to change locations, so I guess I will have to re-purchase it.
I certainly never thought I would have to back everything up given that I have a reciept for the purchase in my iTune history. Very poor form by Apple. I will be sure to re-purchase it from an alternate online provider.
I can't find purchases now I have moved overseas
