My Apple ID (email) hasn't changed, just my address and associated credit card details, so unfortunately I can't revert to the previous (UK) account. I updated my details as I did with everything else, obviously the credit card was a major factor to be able to make any future purchases, this

Have you tried putting a UK address and card back into your account? I had to do that to fix mine. I now just maintain two accounts at Apple, one for my home in the UK, and one for my home in the States with each one keeping its own address and card in it. The issue appears to be

I think it depends on the vendor, so Apple probably goes with the worst case scenario. I tried to buy The Hobbit Audiobook via iTunes, but when I went to pay, I was prevented from doing so because the publisher didn't sell the product in the US! So I bought the CD set from Amazon. No problemo!

Thanks for the suggestion Andy, but I cleared and cancelled my UK cards when I managed to get a Canadian credit card, maybe I should have hung on to it for a while! I did get notification of an update for 1 app today (the first one in two weeks), so it appears that some App Store updates do

That would kill the App Store IMHO. As long as purchasing agents and developers are free agents, they would rebel against that kind of agreement. It works for the iTunes store, because there has never been any other way to sell software for iDevices, and because there was at least an excuse

If its just for the iOS and Mac App Store you should be able to get by without a card as you can set up accounts that way (I guess designed for kids wanting free apps), might still be work a shot changing it back to your original UK address and selecting the no card option to see if the apps

I think I will give them a whirl, no setup fees and 7% per transaction, plus a few minutes to set up the app. I'd also like to pass on an interesting side effect of selling an app on your own web site and through the Mac App Store. This applies to situations where the version on your web site

Hi Richard, Yes I realise it's Apple's doing that, not Bodega. I've emailed Bodega about the issue but it doesn't seem true to me. For example, Coda 2 is available on the Mac App Store. It's also available on the Panic web site, either through the Mac App Store or directly from Panic, with the

I think the article may have that wrong, you can sell your apps anywhere you want, the MAS is just another outlet. Quite a few developers seem to be switching to Mac App Store only policies (eg Pixelmator) which is their choice, but ive not seen anywhere that is a requirement unless its
