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

Tried that , did not work!

This is Frustrating.I started hating apple.

I can't believe this is an actual problem, especially after 3 years.

This is forcing me to cancel my apple music subscription.

Hey, there. I found it tricky to return to your previous region if it has accidentally been changed by signing out first and then signing in.

I have the SAME PROBLEM. Fix this ASAP! $&@

Indeed! Sad days man

Check up my story here Apple ID fustration

I was able to resolve this issue through a chat with Apple Support. Here is the transcript:

• Ich: I just moved to Switzerland and I need to download local apps. I searched for the apps and learned that I need to change countries in order to download. Then I go to change countries and I learn that I need to cancel my Apple Music membership in order to do this. The problem is that there is no way to do that.
• Josefine: I understand that you would like to change your iTunes Store Country, but you would first need to cancel Apple Music, do I see this correctly?
• Ich: Yes, that's correct. I'm currently in the middle of the Apple Music 3-month trial. I cancelled the "auto-renew" feature, but cannot cancel Apple Music outright
• Josefine: I can imagine, that it is important for you to change your country as soon as possible and I will do my best to help you.
• Josefine: I will have a look into your account. This might takes 2-3 minutes and then I will be right back.
• Josefine: I checked the possibilities and was able to cancel the membership for you, so you can now change your country, after you signed out and back in with your account.

I have the same issue / black pattern trap. I canceled my membership,still can't change the store region as the error message keeps popping up. Pretty frustrating, as I've got a gift card and because of this I'm unable to use it. Please fix it asap, and make some QA next time before release 😉

Yes man, to me Apple are good guys, they will listen sooner or later... I know them, I have been following them for 20 years now.. But everyone needs to complain and explain their problems... Find the feedback link above ! Write them... They need to hear your story with the bank app...

I Contact apple support today. i am from Saudi Arabia and they called me from the states. They claimed that I have to finish the 3 month free membership. I was very disap and i think this is below customer satisfaction level

I think the country your ID is from also affects the songs or search results Apple Music sends you.

I have an AU ID and cant get any of my favourite Thai songs on Apple Music, however these same songs are available from iTunes.

I dont have any problem with getting Thai songs or playlists from Spotify so maybe there is some sort of filtering done for different countries.

same here.

I'm from Belarus and can not use Apple Store (and iTunes) on russian language (my language). And i use Russian Apple Store. But i dont check my credit card (belarussian bank) on russian apple store.

Check credit card on belarussian Apple Store (Apple Music) and... Have an english interface and recommendation 😟 Its very bad. Its misstake - i can not change my region for 3 month 😟

Hello all

see below for reply from Apple iTunes support - it has to the most ridiculous response and solution ever...like as if I asked for free song credits...

Hi, again.

As I have just received a confirmation for this, you are unable cancel your subscription to “Apple Music” as we need to wait for the subscription to finish first.

Our only option for now is to wait for 90 days, then you will be able to change the country of your iTunes Store to USA.

I do understand that this is not your fault and, as such, should not have to be the one inconvenienced. Please know that my genuine intention is to provide the best assistance that a valued customer like you truly deserves.

I would like to make up for any difficulty this has caused you. While this is something that I cannot remedy from my end, I have issued 2 song credits to your iTunes Store account.

Honestly guys, yes Apple made a mistake, there is nothing to be done but wait and still enjoy all the world's music thanks to Apple Music... What you can do for now is write a feedback to Apple, so they correct this mistake or never do it again.. They do listen. Find the link above that I shared many times. That's a good lesson of patience.. Also don't forget how copyright laws and artists compensations makes everything so hard for Apple... it's already a miracle what they have been able to pull of here... Unlike Spotify, you can add this music to your itunes library and listen offline, sync to ipod, iphone etc... You really have the whole world of music at your disposal.. so enjoy it, time passes fast, and don't forget to tell Apple that you are unhappy with their policy of blocking country change..

I suppose this is inevitable given Apple's current size but it's still very frustrating to see my favorite company's products, software and service go to **** in various ways.

It's still pretty good all around, but there are many frustrating parts, which have really deteriorated since about 3 years ago.
