Hi David,

I’m not sure if it’s worked but I setup an alias to my main mail address
Then wiped an iPod and reset it up using the country I want the apple id in,
Not sure if it’s worked but hey we’ll see what happens.

If you use one email address, it is necessary to change countries in iTunes. 
Each time you change countries, you need to enter a valid street address in 
said country.

Hi,

Creating an account in any country requires a legimitate physical / mailing 
address in the country. Do not select a credit card. This account can be used 
to download free apps. I have a US, NZ, and AUS accounts. Note that if one 
purchases iTunes cards on an account, it is not possible to change countries 
for said account until the iTunes funds are completely used.

Hi List,

Not sure if I should really ask this but it is apple product related,

Does anyone have information on how to setup an account in the itunes / app

I’m interested in setting up an account for the USA iTunes store and also 
Austrailia and would like to know how to do this without requiring a credit 
card for that country.

mountain lion clean install still wants app store access

2012-10-05 Thread Paul Erkens
Dear listers,

After having crated a usb installation stick for mountain lion, off of which I 
can boot just fine, I booted the mac book pro from the usb drive, turned on 
voiceover, wiped the macintosh hd partition using disk utility, and started the 
mac os10 mountain lion installer. A few very strange things are happening.

1. My wifi is working. How can this be? The usb drive ought not to know 
anything about my wifi network, its ssid or its password. Why is my wifi 
working, without me having to enter the wifi password?

2. When actually installingh os10, then with lion, I had to wait for half an 
hour and the installation would be done. This time however, having not lion but 
mountain lion on the usb drive from which I am installing, I was asked to sign 
in to the app store, and there was no way of getting around it. After I gave 
the credentials, the installer started downloading all of mountain lion's files 
from the app store, instead of simply copying them over from my usb drive. All 
of mountain lion is already on my usb drive, so why download it again from the 
app store? It is now taking more than 2 hours to get mountain lion installed. 

Q: what can I do to make mountain lion install entirely from my usb drive, 
rather than it going into the app store to download 95% of itself again?

Very curious.
Paul.

Subject: mountain lion clean install still wants app store access

Dear listers,

After having crated a usb installation stick for mountain lion, off of which
I can boot just fine, I booted the mac book pro from the usb drive, turned
on voiceover, wiped the macintosh hd partition using disk utility, and
started the mac os10 mountain lion installer. A few very strange things are
happening.

1. My wifi is working. How can this be? The usb drive ought not to know
anything about my wifi network, its ssid or its password. Why is my wifi
working, without me having to enter the wifi password?

2. When actually installingh os10, then with lion, I had to wait for half an
hour and the installation would be done. This time however, having not lion
but mountain lion on the usb drive from which I am installing, I was asked
to sign in to the app store, and there was no way of getting around it.

to get mountain lion installed.
