Changing country in iTunes Store Shmutt Sep 14th, 09, 06:58 PM #1 (permalink)
I have bought a number of apps while I was connected to the Singapore iTunes Store. Now I would like to try to switch to the US Store and use gift certs to purchase instead.

If I do that, what will happen to my SG-centric apps (like tranSGuide) and all other apps that I have purchased? Will I still be able to update them?

It'll be best if you make a new account. A US one. Well you have to if you want to use the US store.

But if I make a new accnt, what will happen to my prev apps that I've bought? They won't be rendered unusable right?

So if I want to buy/update SG apps from SG store, I sign on using the SG accnt. And conversely for the US store. Like that is it?

I have 4 accounts currently for downloading applications from 4 different countries.

The only problem you will face is during application updates. You will need to remember which account for which application.

I think it is OK to switch to the US account and stay there. The SG applications would be fine.

My account is US and I can still download the SG applications....no issues. I can also get updates for them.

As long as you don't include your credit card info, you should be OK.
