If you don’t have “none” as a payment option, just go here:

get a free code and used it as a payment option once your done downloading the free songs, your account will be unlocked. You’ll be able to get Skype or anything you want…

Brad, you need to authorize your US account in iTunes first, then sync. That should do it.

I agree. Why do canadians always get screwed. We have three year contracts, shitty plans, and can’t stream pandora or Hulu. What is the freekin deal. This has some stupid CRTC regulation written all over it.

I am having trouble getting Skype installed on my iPhone. I get an error saying that I cannot install it because “you are not authorized for it on this computer.”

Anyone see this before?

Gimme a break! Poor Canadians! I’ll bet you weren’t crying when you got an iTunes store 2 years before New Zealand. We got movies in August 2008 and still don’t have any TV shows. It’s not like they’re picking on Canada. I’d be crying kudos to Skype for getting it out in as many countries as possible from the get go.

Once you download Skype, you should log out of iTunes and log back in as your Canadian account. Then Sync. You’ll still get Skype moved over.

If you sync using your US account, you might wind up with every app you’ve ever downloaded installed since the app settings are per account.

Yes, you can use more than one iTunes account with your iphone/touch.

Not sure why this is such a big deal … I have been using Numbuzz and works like a dream for skype… p.s don’t tell rogers… besides what is the diff if you use it on your phone or computer .

I had the same experience you did. All that enthusiasm just came crashing to the ground. Thanks for for going further and finding out what was going on. I will try your work around and see how it goes.

Potentially stupid question:

Once I create the new account, does syncing get affected? Do I need to redownload everything in the new account, or will iTunes still sync everything?

I know I’m missing something obvious but can you have 2 iTunes accounts for 1 iPhone? Otherwise, I can always use my Fring app until the Skype app (eventually, I hope, I hope, I hope) comes to Canada.

I tried to give you the steps above. Is there a certain step where you run into a problem?

By: Tru_canuk

Tru_canuk — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:08:44 +0000

this is a probably a dumb question but how do you get a US iTunes account while living in Canada? I’m a canuk myself and would like to know. I’d love to get access to way more tv shows than what we have here.

Cheers!
