I'm in Syria and I want to download apps on my iPhone but each time I do it I get error 1009 .... Does anyone have an idea why ... Plz help

I Always get error 1009 when trying to download new apps or anything

people say that App Store is banned here in Syria but this is not reasonable coz why Apple would do such a thing to people here ... There are many people here who use Apple but they have done jail break but I don't want to use this method

so anyone knows how to solve this problem ??

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

Error 1009 means you are attempting to download from the AppStore in a

country other than the one you are located in or from an AppStore other

than the one you have an account in. That error can also mean that you

are in a country that is blocked.


If your government has blocked AppStore, Apple must comply. Get your government

to remove the restriction. This is not a decision by Apple, but by your government.
