 |
|
I have a question:
I want to link a Korean Credit Card ( or paypal funded by my Korean CC) to my itunes account. To do that, I have to switch to the Korean itunes store.
For the life of me, I can't find the way to change the itunes Korean store language to English. Edit/Preferences just changes the itunes interface, not the itunes store language. Any way around this? I read some Korean and cannot find anywhere on the Korean itunes store page where I am able to change the language. Am I just missing it?
Or is there a way to link a Korean CC to the US store?
Thanks for any input. |

| You have to use an American credit card for an American iTunes store account. iTunes will not accept credit cards that are not from the country that the account is set to. If you want to use a Korean CC with paypal you will have to set up a Korean iTunes store account. Also, in terms of language the Korean store would not have English just like the American iTunes store doesn't have Korean as a language option. |

If the gift card is from the country that your iTunes account is registered you'll have no problem. An American iTunes gift card will not work on a Korean account to due copyright agreements etc. For the longest time, you could not purchase apps with Canadian iTunes gift cards so people would try to get around it and purchase American ones only to find out they're useless on a Canadian account (or they wouldn't read the instructions on the package saying that they couldn't purchase apps) |

You will have to create a new account in the country you want. You will have to use a new email address not previously associated with your itunes account here in Korea. You will also have to give a valid zip code for your address in the states. When you get to the payment method page, click none. This will allow you to download free apps from the US site. You will have to sign in to your Korean account if you want to download pay apps, but most pay apps are available in both stores, but many free apps are not available in the Korea store.
This is what worked for me. |
