I just got set up with a U.S. iTunes account. However, my iPod touch is already set up with apps I bought using an account from a non-U.S. iTunes store. I'd like to add new purchases from the U.S. store into my iPod but I think each iPod can only handle purchases from one account so the previous installs would just get erased from the iPod - correct?

I see there's a "change country" option in iTunes under account settings - is this the answer to my dilemma? Wondering if I'd be blocked from changing countries due to my IP address or already-registered credit card.

I use both the Korean app store and the UK app store on my iphone. Not been a problem really. The "Update All" option for apps doesn't really work though, as you have to connected to the right store for the app, so if you have downloaded stuff from more than one store it doesn't update well.

I have Canadian and Korean iTunes accounts, apps from both places, and have had no issues yet.

I use the US, Korean, UK, and Australian stores with my iPod...no problems playing any of the songs or tv shows...and no trouble with apps. When you update on the go, you need to change the store in your iPod settings so that you can update each country.

Same here. I have US and Korean account. It's annoying when you have to change accounts when there's an update
