Can't change Country/Region after cancel Apple Music membership !

You do not have to make this "unsubscribe" madness. Just open browser in iphone, search in for an some app published only in desired region. Then click "get", propmpt that you want open this in App store app and wuala, popup for region change appears 😉. I unawares change my region from Slovak to U.S. and lot of thinks gone stange on my Iphone.

If the Apple Music is on Trial on the iPhone, the only option from customer side is to turn off the auto renewal. In order to change the Country/Region in the App Store the Apple Music must be canceled. So, basically to cancel the Apple Music Trial, we have to contact Apple Support and ask them to cancel it from their end. Remember, if the trial is canceled once, there is no way to get the trial subscription again in the future.

So, if switching the store is kinda mandatory for you, you have to contact Apple Support to cancel the subscription from their end and they'll do it right away.

Hi, I do not often reply, but I came across the exact same issue, but did not want to cancel my apple music, so i have a work around, but i understand this won't be the case for everyone.

I am in the UK, I was asked by the applestore to change to the US store, which I did, and then I was stuck on trying to change it back to the UK. Here is how I achieved changing it back without cancelling apple music. I had app updates that I had not done for awhile, (as I have not got auto updates turned on) they were a few banking apps and UK'ish apps. When my appstore was set to USA, I clicked on my UK banking application to update, it prompted me to change to the UK appstore, I clicked OK and then it changed my appstore back to UK. It did not then auto update my banking app, it is still waiting for me to click update.

Yes this is a huge pain to say to everyone, hey leave some applications in your "updates" section, so you can change appstores, but I am unsure of any other way.

Hope this helps somebody who was as frustrated as me.

RIP Steve Jobs - He wouldn't of let this happen!

Hi everyone who are facing the same problem as i did before; I actually found a solution to this problem without having to wait 3 months till the trial period ends; I first open App Store and just tap on any app like I'm about to purchase/get it; then the "change store" does appeared and I tap on it; It then directly change store for me based on the country which it available. And yes, i'm able to do any purchase or download music in App Store, iTunes and Apple Music.

Go to: settings>tap on your name at the top>iTunes and App Store>Tap your Apple ID> sign out.

Then sign back in. You should get a message telling you that you are being moved to other AppStore (in my case UK).

Worked for me.

I’ve had the same problem. Only way to fix without waiting for the 3 months is to set up another Apple ID. Sign in with it and download any free app, then sign out and back in with your original Id. It put my original region back to nor

Same thing happened to me, only solution is calling Apple and asking them to cancel whatever is left of your free trial, takes 2 minutes and then you can change the region right away.

I accidentally changed my Store when I tried to down load a song from Canada. I then hit the stupid Apple Music error. I was able to reset it by going to the App Store on my iPhone and then attempted to download an update. It presented me with a prompt to “change my Store” which I did and it set everything back to the US Store.

May be a bit late but I just had this problem a while ago and I discovered that if you look for an app for a certain country (google for one or check your purchased), the App Store prompts if you want to change your App Store to that specific country.

No passwords needed or no need to wait for Apple Music to expire. But the app has to be available in that specific country only--since if it's international you'll still be stuck in the same App Store.

It's 2018 and the issue is still here... Can't change country until music subscription expires

Can I not simply remove Apple Music from my phone so it doesn't have to wait out for the expiry? I really desperately need to access that app on this phone.

You will need some assistance from iTunes Support staff to cancel the remainder of the subscription period; for immediate expiration.

Hey ! I just had this problem I did it by accident. I searched for a song and it wasn’t available on the au store so it took me to a Japanese store and I accepted not thinking and I had no music left on my acct that I had saved, 4 years worth ! Anyway I searched another song via google, I put for example “mercy by Shaw Mendez AU ITUNES” and it came up, I clicked it and it restored all my music I dont know if it’ll work for everyone else but it did for me thank god !!

Go onto safari and try to buy almost any app. It will say would you like to change to the United states Appstore. Click change and you will be swithced. I have apple music and this worked.

sign out apple id..then sign in back..

3 years this has been going on it seems? Disgusting.. Same problem for me only I rang Apple Support and unlike some people on here was told they couldn't help and couldn't change the subscription to inactive. I had to wait until it was expired. No warning when you take the trial you're fixed to one region.

I assume they do this on purpose - to stop people easily flicking between locations and getting different Apple Music Content right? But to not provide a way of support removing the service so that you're not asking to keep it - YOU WANT IT DELETED so you can use your phone (even though this would be LOSING a service you still have a right to use) they instead render your phone useless until the subscription expires.

Apple.... If people could be bothered to take you to court over this one - I'm telling you you would lose. This is the worst one yet.
