Has anyone tried buying stuff with SA card linked paypal on a US account ?

@Dan Yes. No go. Also tried an Entropay card. couldn’t bluff it around. Vouchers, as Marc says.

I wonder if an FNB Paypal account may work…

there must be places around online selling us itunes store gift cards. if so, get one using paypal and use th. I guess no CC / matching address necessary. any thoughts?

Does this mean I need to create a South Africa itunes account to purchase a voucher, and then load that voucher onto my US itunes account?

Thanks in advance for that. If I buy a TV show from the new US account and I then sync my Ipod Touch will I lose all the other shows that I bought with my UK account?

tried registering using Paypal.. it doesn’t work on the US Account. i think this option Marc sent is the better option at the moment.

Damn, the None option has been removed. What now?

I have sone UK GBP Itunes vouchers – can these be redeemed via a US iTunes account or does one have to create a UK account? If so what process does one follow?

i did that but the app wont go on to my ipod touch it says something about thecomputer but the instructions to fix it wont pop up again

Can you gift apps from an American account to a South African account? wil it allow you to download it in south africa?

thank you for post- i am stuck without the none option-
So ..if I use a u.s credit card (not mine),register the new u.s account and buy a voucher here there is no risk of the card owner getting charged??
btw-I do not want to buy any apps -just free things
thanks in advance

@Rinus is right to mention that this process is in violation of the Apple iTunes Licence agreement and is similar to software piracy- music, apps, TV shows etc purchased in this way are not legal. Sad but true! If you want to buy music online legally in SA the only viable option right now is to use the Nokia OVI music store. R80 for most CDs and R8 per single track. There is currently no legal way to buy movies or tv shows online in South Africa. SAdly.

I’ve been using my normal SA itunes account since I got my iPhone. SO, I have a large number of apps on my phone, and on iTunes on my PC.

What will happen to these apps if I create a US iTunes account? Will I be able to use apps from both accounts at the same time?

looks like they have removed the “none” option on the payment selection… I guess they’re on to us!

Worked well thanks alot, just one question can i still use both accounts ie sa and usa or should i just stick to one of them. thanks again.

thanks marc. just another thing can i authorize the us one or is that not advisable.and can i syn them from both accounts.

sorry. when you say sync would that be the songs only or everything and which one should i sync from. i hate to sound like a pain but i want to do it right.

How do youdo iy now because theyve removed the ‘none’ option please help

Thanks Marc :)

Just wanna now how do you ensure your’e free app cause it says I gotta give my credit card no.

Thanks again

Awesome!!!
Thank you

Just encountered a prob when I went to sync to the phone the SA Lotto and another Free app… it tells me that I am not authorised to sync to this ocmputer and advises I go to settings to do so. Is this ok? Have I missed a step?

Sam and all – I created a paypal account with a beverley hills hotel as my address and hooked it up to my ccard. All fine and verified and everyone happy. Hoever, when I created a US Itunes account there is NO OPTION for “None” as shown on the blog, you have to choose some form of payment, which i did – Paypal, because our pal, Sam here, said he did it less than a month ago according to his post above – however, when I tried to link paypal in US with my iTunbes account in US, it bombed saying that: “ERROR DETECTED” This Recipient requires that you have a valid funding source from United States (sic) in order to complete this transaction.”

Now what?

Is this legal?

Thanks I tried this and it totally worked for me. This was really helpful :)

Do you know why all the apps from my US account do not open on my iphone. They load, but when I select them they just go black & then close? Any suggestions

Hi There, Hope you guys can help me out, so I got myself a us itunes account, but now Im unsure on how I should register my ipad…. It keeps the address I put in for the itunes account. Will this affect my warranty…?
Reply would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi

Thanks so much for all the valuable info on this site.

So just to summarise (please correct if I’m wrong)…this is how I can do things.

1) Register iPad with my SA account
2) Use SA account when I sync with my PC
3) Create US account for apps not available in SA store
– Buy vouchers from 3rd-party site & pay for apps in iTunes
4) Switch between the two accounts to use the respective apps in each
– My movies, pictures and music that I synced using my SA account will only be available when I sign in with that account
– To use my regular email I have to sign in with my SA account
5) I cannot transfer US apps to my SA account (?)

hi
When i try to verify my apple id. i get the message that this id is linked to another email address.
i’ve tried using 3 different emails with different information. nothing seems to work.
have they figured this trick out at apple??

Would this only work rom a pc or can I do I do this from mi iPad?

You are a legend, it worked like a dream

Definitely imagine that which you said. Your favourite reason appeared to be at the net the easiest factor to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as other people consider concerns that they plainly do not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the whole thing with no need side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks

No Go, Keeps on telling me to contact support? What am I doing wrong. I followed the instructions to the letter. Used Honda in Torrence addy.

I have had it with this crap! Jeepers. I did everything up to creating a brand new Pay Pal account with an American address. Now there is a problem. This Pay Pal account requires a credit or debit card from the US. I have no idea how to progress from this point.

This is my current financial situation. I have a MasterCard with Std Bank. I have used it to purchase apps on the SA iStore. I really want a US iStore account. (F who doesnt??)

Friends have mentioned creating a Kenyan account…Anyone know how this procedure might work?

what to do if they told me to contact itunes support to complete this transaction ?

will this work in South Africa?

hello Marc,

I have tried to create an acc selecting ‘NONE’ but it says
“please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction”.

Please advice me what to do next to create an Acc. without a creditcard in hand.

Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this web site wants

far more consideration. I’ll most likely
be once

more to learn rather more, thanks for that info.

Also visit my web blog: Mittie

Wonderful web site. Lots of useful

info here. I’m sending it to several friends
ans also sharing in delicious. And of

course, thanks for your effort!

I’m not sure why but this site is loading very slow for

me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and

see if the problem still exists.

With everything that

seems to be developing inside this subject

matter, a significant percentage of

viewpoints are somewhat radical. However, I am sorry, because I can not subscribe to your entire suggestion, all be it
exciting none the

less. It looks to us that your comments

are generally not entirely rationalized and in fact you are generally your
self not really completely confident of your argument.
In any

event I did appreciate reading it.

Everyone loves what you guys tend to be up too. Such clever work and reporting!
Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve added you guys to my own blogroll.

lighting and entertainment. I gave the diary to my
‘reading’. Maintain me updated!

of course like your web site but you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it
very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I will definitely come back again.

SA is one of the highest rated countries for piracy, go figure with companies like apple forcing us to commit piracy. What blows my mind is something that is FREE to americans is not even available even as a purchase to south africans, i am pretty sure if a lot was available to purchase there would be a lot less piracy, as an IT person i personally will never own or purchase an apple product that is so locked down you cant even get your own photos of ones you put them on. I will continue to jail break for people i know though. Maybe one day short sighted companies like apple will come to a realization of what they put people through to do simple things that can be done on any other major device. It takes a pirate to recognize a pirate apple and microsoft wouldnt be around be around if they did not steal in the first place, anyone want to know the truth about the 2 giants watch “pirates of silicon valley”

?Terrific post however I was wondering if you could write a little more
on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Cheers!

Lizette, Check out youtube for the jail break for reasons most will not give you a direct link to how to jail break and youtube will be your best bet for a step by step

Excellent site you’ve got here.. It’s hard to find high-quality writing like yours
these days. I honestly appreciate individuals like you!
Take care!!
