如果您是外籍人士或旅行者^{(expatriate or traveler)}，试图从其他国家/地区的 iTunes 或App Store下载应用程序，您可能会遇到地理限制。

Apple 商店^{(Apple store)}对应用程序施加地理限制，这让想要将应用程序和其他内容下载到其 iOS 设备的用户感到沮丧。

例如，如果您住在澳大利亚^(Australia)，您可能没有特权下载一些流行的游戏，而美国和加拿大居民可以随时免费下载。同样，如果您的帐户未与美国关联，您可能无法在 iTunes 上下载免费应用程序

如何通过 iTunes 下载受地理限制的应用程序^{(How To Download Geo-Restricted Apps Via iTunes)}

不过值得庆幸的是，您可以通过在App Store中为另一个国家/地区设置 iTunes 帐户来访问和下载^{(access and download apps)}以前仅限于某些位置的应用程序。这种方法的挑战是每次都必须输入新的支付方式。^{(payment method)}

另一种解决方法是为该国家/地区创建第二个Apple ID，其中包含您要下载的应用程序。

您也不需要在付款方式部分^{(payment method section)}添加您的信用卡^{(add your credit card)}，因为没有与您的第二个Apple ID关联的有效付款方式^{(payment method)}，因为它仅适用于免费应用程序和游戏^{(apps and games)}。

您可以在线购买其他国家/地区的^{(country online)}礼品卡^{(gift card)}，并将其添加为辅助 ID的付款方式。^{(payment method)}

注意：^{(Note: )}更改与您的 iTunes 帐户关联的国家/地区会更新App Store的国家/地区，反之亦然。

例如，如果您在 iPhone 上的App Store上将您的国家/地区设置为^{(App Store)}日本^(Japan)，您所做的更改将反映在所有其他使用您的Apple ID的设备上的^{(Apple ID)}Apple ID上，例如 iPhone、iPad 或 Mac^{(iPad or Mac)}等。

How to Switch iTunes App Store Account to Another Country

If you’re an expatriate or traveler trying to download apps from other countries’ iΤunes or App Store, yoυ could encounter a geoblock.

The Apple store imposes geo-restrictions on apps, which frustrates users who want to download apps and other content to their iOS devices.

For instance, if you live in Australia, you may not have the privilege of downloading some popular games, which U.S. and Canadian residents are free to download anytime they want. Similarly, you may not be able to download free apps on iTunes if your account isn’t linked to the U.S.

How To Download Geo-Restricted Apps Via iTunes

Thankfully though, you can access and download apps that were previously restricted to certain locations, by setting up an iTunes account for another country in the App Store. The challenge with this method is the back-and-forth involved in having to input a new payment method every time.

The other way out of it is by creating a second Apple ID for the country with the apps you’d like to download.

You won’t need to add your credit card in the payment method section either as there’s no valid payment method associated with your second Apple ID, as it only applies to free apps and games.

You can buy a gift card from another country online, and add this as your payment method for the secondary ID.

Note: Changing the country associated with your iTunes account updates the country for the App Store, and the reverse applies.

For example, if you set your country as Japan on your iPhone for App Store, the changes you make will reflect across the Apple ID on all other devices using your Apple ID such as iPhone, iPad or Mac among others.

Set Up An iTunes Account For Another Country

On iPhone or iPad
On Mac or PC
From Apple ID account profile

iPhone Or iPad

Setting up an iTunes account for another country on your iPhone or iPad is possible, though not as simple as it is on a desktop computer. Here’s how to do it.

The first step is to cancel any subscriptions you have to Apple Music or iTunes Match and other services associated with your local Apple ID, and then sign in again once you switch over.

Open Settings > [Your Name]

Tap iTunes & App Store.

Next, tap your Apple ID. If asked to sign in, authenticate with Touch ID or password.

Tap View Apple ID

Tap Country/Region.
Tap Change Country & Region

Select a new country or region and tap Next.
Review the terms and conditions and tap Agree to confirm your consent.

Enter your payment method (valid for your new country or region) and new billing information, and tap Next once you’re done.

Note: To change your payment information, open Settings > [Your Name] > iTunes & App Store and tap Manage Payments (or Payment Information depending on your iOS version). You can add, remove, reorder or update your payment methods, and upgrade your iCloud Storage based on the new country or region’s pricing.

You’re all set up and ready to download apps from your newly set up iTunes account. The new country or region updates associated with your Apple ID will reflect across all Apple Services on all your iOS devices.

On a Mac or PC

Open iTunes on your Mac or PC. On the menu bar, click Account>View My Account.

Sign in using your Apple ID and press Enter or click View Account.
Click Change Country or Region on the Account Information page.

Review the terms and conditions and click Agree to confirm your consent.
Enter your new payment method (valid for the new country or region) and billing information, and click Continue.

The new country or region updates associated with your Apple ID will reflect across all Apple Services on all your iOS devices.

From Apple ID account profile

Log into your Apple ID account profile and scroll to Account and tap Country/Region

Select your new country or region from the Country/Region menu.

A prompt will appear asking whether you’d like to change your country or region. Click Continue to update.

Enter your new payment method (valid for the new country/region) and billing information. Click Save once you’ve filled in all the details.

The new country/region updates will reflect across all your iOS devices and Apple services.

Switching Between Multiple Countries On iTunes Or App Store

As mentioned earlier, you can create an account with a new Apple ID and use it to sign in and out of the store. This way, you can grab an app that’s not in your current location’s store, but it’ll only help you download free apps for your iOS devices.

Unfortunately, you can’t use this method to buy “paid apps” as you’d need to add a credit card under the payment method, plus a billing address for your country. Further, if you have to download updates for any US-specific apps, you need to log in with your US-based Apple ID.

To switch between multiple countries, log out of your current country/regional iTunes or App Store by opening App Store > Apple ID [your current email].
Tap Sign Out

Tap open Settings>General

Tap Language & Region

Tap Region

Choose the new country you’d like to access, and then create a new account for the iTunes or App Store you want to download apps from. To do this, find a free app that’s locked to a U.S. store or the store you want to switch to.
Tap on the app. If it still shows your old country/region or notifies you that the item is unavailable in the current store, tap Change Store.

Go back to the app’s listing on App Store and tap Get > Install

Tap Create New Apple ID, choose the country of choice, and fill out the information required.

Under billing, tap None.

If you want to buy content from the store, you can get an iTunes gift card for the country you want, and add it later as a payment method.
Open Mail to verify your email address and download the app.
Next, go back to the app’s listing on App Store from your iOS device, and tap the link. Tap Get > Install.
Sign into your new iTunes account or Apple ID for the country you chose and, if you must, tap Get > Install again to start the download and switch to the new store.

From now on, you can switch stores by signing in and out of iTunes or App Store based on the country or region.
