Not every iPhone follower of Islam has been with us since 2007, so some old articles such as changing the store country that we have published An article about it in 2011 And well 2012 Not everyone may know it, and a few days ago when we talked about the monthly gift app that Apple gives -this linkWe received dozens of questions about how to transfer our account to the American store. So we decided to re-publish the method again and update it to suit the change in the iTunes look.

How to change the state of the iTunes account?


Why do I need to change my account country?

Some people may need to change their account country for several reasons, the most important of which are:

  1. Many of the offers for companies "promo code" are in the American store.
  2. In order to be able to buy using iTunes cards, which are not available in all countries, while American iTunes cards are sold in our countries.
  3. There are companies like Microsoft that insist that there be an application that is not available in many stores, especially Arab stores. One such application is Office.

 You can change the country of your account from your iOS device or by computer.


Via your iOS device

  1. From Settings scroll down and enter iTunes & App Store.
  2. Click on the Apple ID and a window will appear, click on the first option View Apple ID. * This will require the password for the iTunes account.
  3. You will see the iTunes account settings, select the country or Country / Region, press Change Country / Region.
  4. Select the country you want and click Next from the bottom right.
  5. Agree to the terms and conditions, then enter the payment method (if applicable) and the address and click Next.

Important Notes:

1

The previous method is valid for all countries, that is, you can apply it to transfer your Saudi account to an Emirati or the Egyptian to a French, and so on.

2

If you use a credit card in your account, you will not be able to use it after changing the country, and the reason for this is that the country of the credit card must match the country from which you shop in iTunes.

3

If there is an existing balance in your account (via iTunes cards), you will not be able to transfer until after your account is cleared - see this link-.

4

When placing an American address, you should pay attention, as some states impose taxes on software store purchases, meaning that an application whose price is $ 4.99, for example, you will find that it will deduct $ 5.34 from you. To avoid these taxes, see this link.
