How do I change my ITunes Store

Change US App Store

1. Tap "Settings"

2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"

3. Tap on your Apple ID

4.Tap "View Apple ID"

5. Enter your user name and password.

6. Tap "Country/Region."

7. Tap "Change Country/Region"

8. Select the country/region where you are located.

9. Tap "Done".

Note: If the change doesn't take effect, sign out of account and sign in again.

You can only change to the US store if you have a credit card issued in the US and have a physical address in the US.

If that is true, go to Settings > Store (or iTunes and App Store) > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter your password > Country/Region and change the store.

When you say you buy gift cards, are they for Zambia or for the US? You can only use the gift card in the country from which it was purchased: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1626

You can try changing the store to the US store but the store will most likely not allow the change if you do not have a valid account in the US.

The policy in the past has been that the cards can only be redeemed in the country for which they are issued, which has meant you must also be physically in that country.

Have you tried changing to the US store and try and make a purchase?
