Frequently Asked Questions
|
| Q. | 1. Why do I need a different email account to open a Japanese iTunes music store account? | |
| Ans. | If you already have an iTunes Music Store account in your home country, you will need to use a different email address when you sign up for your Japanese iTunes music store account.
This is because Apple uses email address as logins so a single email address can only be associated with one account.
If you try to sign-up with an email account that you are already using, you will get an error message.
If you don't have another email account, you can get a free one at Gmail or Hotmail. | |
| | | Q. | 2. Can you set up my iTunes account for me? | |
| Ans. | Certainly. If you purchase a 5000 yen or 10,000 yen card, we will set up your iTunes music store account for you. Just let us know the email address you want to use to setup your music store account. When your account has been created, you will receive a confirmation email from Apple as well as an email from us with your music store password in it. When you log into your account, you will find that your account has already been charged the amount of the card you purchased. Once inside your account at the iTunes music store, you should change your password. | |
