Download Apps from Another Country’s iTunes Store

I am currently running iTunes 11.1.3 (64 bit) on my Macbook Pro 13 Inch. Consider you are waiting for an iPhone Game and the developer has released it only for Australia, New Zealand or United States. You can checkout the download instructions, screenshots and reviews of such apps in iTunes store page, but when you try to download it, you will get a dialog box saying “This App is not available in your country, Do you like to change the store ? or Cancel ?” This must be really frustrating most of the times.

Launch iTunes on your Mac or Windows PC and follow the steps suggested below.

Step 1: Go to “Store” from the iTunes menu and select “Sign Out“.
