roddy Posted August 14, 2007 at 09:01 PM Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 at 09:01 PM Quick query - is anyone out there using a UK / US registered iTunes account to make purchases while they're in China. I'm assuming this wouldn't be any problem, but then I thought Apple might be checking the IP addresses people come from for DRM / licensing concerns.

I live in the UK and have a US iTunes account - no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 14, 2007 at 10:56 PM Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 at 10:56 PM Yeah, but it's Apple. They can do complicated things. Like make me pay for a music player which requires syncing with a PC if I want to do something as simple as delete a song. Anyway, just wanted to check as I have a ton of credit at the moment and am unlikely to spend it all before I get back to China. Didn't think it would be a problem, but good to have it confirmed. Hang on Adrian, does that mean you get the US film and TV downloads we don't get in the UK yet? That might be worth looking into - some TV is so good I might be willing to pay for it.

aeon Posted August 15, 2007 at 09:10 AM Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 at 09:10 AM I used a UK iTunes account to purchase music while in China with no problems (2004/2005 though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I don't actually have an iPod; just iTunes! A friend credited me with US$20 so I created a US account (and made up an address in NYC) in order to get the credit.
