The issue appears to be with whatever carrier has contracts there to send signals to those

devices; as I've looked to older incidents of Error 1009 (iran) issues in these discussions

and there is a parallel with the local carrier issue and lack of service.


Also, with no Apple App or iTunes Store for Iran and some other countries, these errors

occur. Some times you may be able to get content, other times no. As fellow product

users, and not representatives of Apple, this is a peer-to-peer or user-to-user help area.


You may have read the "more like this" topics below the thread we are in; where examples

such as this Error 1009 exist. ...This one has several dated replies.


Sorry to not be of much help... Not sure if you could submit 'feedback' to Apple about this

issue since the cellular connectivity and data stream disruption is not owned by Apple.


Contact a mobile carrier

i wonder what changed in last week that we have err 1009 again ! poltics is in deep relation with itunes !!! apple have to care about customers in iran , and for sure it's a big market. hope to see this problem solves in a short time , for now we have to use vpn ! to change IP ,,, instead of filtering ip apple must start app store to support iran , all iranian use fake name fake postal code etc to make an apple id ! so funny !
