Setting Mac App Store country to home country when abroad I'm stuck trying to use the Mac App Store on my Mac. I'm in Germany (abroad, my home country is UK) and it seems my Mac has picked this up in some way and won't let me download Xcode, as it says I can't download from the German App Store. My App Store was set up in the UK with UK card details.

My Mac was initialised in Germany too, i.e. it was switched on for the first time here.

My locale settings from System Preferences are here:



This is the error I am getting:



Please note the following:


I am using a MacBook Pro, not an iPad or iPhone.
I am trying to access Mac App Store, not iTunes.
