Why are past purchases no longer showing after I change country of my Apple ID? Recently I've changed the country in my Apple ID account. While everything else is fine there's an issue with my purchases. All Apps that were purchased before the change don't appear in Purchased section of App Store and in the list of available updates as well. However the updates count budge in iTunes shows a dozens of updates available but after being pressed there are only apps purchased after the change had been made in the list.

I tried to delete the apps from library and re-purchase them but with no success. I got them for free as I should but the problem hasn't gone.
Is there any solution?
This is by design.

A developer lists an app for one or more markets and when you lose past purchases, that indicates that that app was available in the old market and no longer is available in the new market.

Have a look on the site, there are several threads on people deciding to switch countries or keep an old account.

One is simpler and potentially costs more, the other costs more time, but you keep access to all purchases, past, present and future on two accounts.


I want to change the country on my app store account and I am having some problems?
Restoring past purchases from different country
Do I need to repurchase apps if I moved countries?


Also - the related section to the right should have several more likely threads to help.
