Yes. I have a lot of apps from when I lived in Canada. Now that I'm in the US, it's fun updating apps.

  Ditto. I tried calling Apple to ask them to move my account over to a US account, but they said it can't be done, then proceeded to tell me matter-of-factly that the best solution is to abandon my Canadian account (along with all my purchases), start a new US account, and then re-buy all of my apps again (and all this while implying that it was somehow my fault for moving to a different country). Apple is like the bitchy beauty queen who gets a pass due to her looks. Everything's peaches-and-cream until you hit a bump. Then the claws come out. Personally, I prefer Betty to Veronica.

    Interesting. It seems like it isn't just a problem with Apple though. I've heard similar stories with Xbox Live accounts, where they won't move accounts between countries. I think there may be some laws/regulations involved which are preventing them from moving accounts. Otherwise, it's just silly to not allow people to move accounts, since it should be a simple change in a database somewhere.

      I imagine in part is has to do with copyright/licensing agreements with the actual content providers. Still, it's annoying.
