Unable to access purchases made in a different country

Hi,

I am having an issue getting Purchases which I made when I lived in the US onto my new Iphone as I now live in Ireland.

there is over a 100 items which I cant download onto my phone. They are only visible in the US store and I cant retrive them here as I do not have a valid US address or bank details anymore. Can Apple transfer these songs so that I can have access to them again?

Thanks,

Stephen

As well as being tied to the account, content is also tied to the country that you bought it in, you won't be able to redownload them unless you return to the US and have a US billing address on your account. Have you not got copies of them on your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them to your phone ?

(It's not a good idea to post personal info such as your email address on public forums, unless you like spam email - I've asked the hosts to remove it.)
