    Hi.
    my gorgous Gf is after getting me a 64GB ipod touch for Christmas....It came with a £15 Appstore voucher for the UK storre and i was wondering if it was possible to register for the UK stores.
    I could get a UK address if needed but my Credit Card billing address is here....
    any suggestions?

    You'll need to setup an iTunes UK account to do so, setting up an iTunes UK store account and synching UK content to the iPod will not prevent the gift recipient from setting up an Irish store account and synching that content to the same iPod, both will co-exist happily (have US and Irish content on mine.
    Hope that helps:D

    I had a similar nightmare when I first set up my account. Its a UK card, with my Irish billing address.

    UK iTunes wouldn't recognise the Irish address, and Irish iTunes wouldn't recognise the UK card....I can't remember exactly (and can't be arsed to check, sorry) but I think I had to lie about my address and use my mother's UK address...

    I figured it was *my* card, and if they wouldn't accept the correct billing address, well...that was their problem!
