IOS – Problem updating apps after iOS 6 update

apple-idiositunes-store

"Your account is not valid for use in the Indian store. You must switch to US store before purchasing." I am getting the above error while updating apps (I have recently installed iOS 6). My Apple ID was created with country as India. I followed the below steps:

  • Open the Appstore.
  • Go to Featured (scroll down to bottom until you see your Apple ID).
  • Click on Apple ID.
  • View Apple ID.
  • Enter your Password.
  • Once you login it will say your account is transferred to the respective country.

Since the store somehow thought my account was from the US, I approved "the change" to India and signed out and signed in again, still I get the same error.

I had a similar problem trying to update apps because I live overseas in Japan, and after updating to iOS6 it defaulted to the Japanese AppStore. I went to the AppStore, clicked on view AppleID, then it asked for my password which was not recognized as a Japanese account, so after a few attempts, it switched me to the US store and now I can update everything. Not sure if this will help, but following your steps helped me figure out the solution to my problem! Thanks!!
