Found Footage: iTunes goes even more international

With the introduction of the App Store, iTunes has taken an international leap. It’s more internationaler than ever before with new, exciting internationality that ranges from Mexico to Qatar to Israel to Russia. It’s internationalpalooza!

If you’ve been waiting for iTunes to come to your country, if you’ve been saying “Hmmmm. Could iTunes be even more international?”, then it’s time to celebrate. Because if Apple has gone through the trouble of setting up marketing in Peru, Poland and Pakistan, likely as not there will be even more store avenues heading down the road to follow the initial App Store launch.

Did App Store make it to your country? Let us know in the comments.

Apple posts App Store info: syncing and App Store troubleshooting

Apple has posted to KB articles that might be of some interest to the iPhone crazed out there: Syncing Applications from the App Store and Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store (which basically says you should delete the troublesome app and re-install it).

The syncing article details how you get apps that you download from iTunes onto your iPhone (it functions in much the same way as syncing podcasts or music, you tell iTunes which apps, some or all, and there you go!). It also tells us what happens when you purchase an app directly on an iPhone and then sync to iTunes. The above message will pop up and ask if you want to transfer the apps to iTunes. If you do it will put them in the new Applications section of iTunes. Interestingly, if you sync your iPhone with an instance of iTunes that is not authorized with the same account as the one you used to buy an app, and you transfer said app to this unauthorized iTunes library the app transfers to iTunes but is deleted from the iPhone.

The App Store is up…kind of

Early this morning, Apple officially released iTunes 7.7. After launching the application for the first time, I saw the little “Applications” icon in the sidebar. I clicked it as quickly as my little mouse would move, only to find a list of the iPod applications I had previously bought and nothing more. Looks like it’s not up.

Not so fast.

The folks at MacRumors noticed that is up, just hidden. All you’ve got to do is search for the name of an application and you’ll be brought right to it. Super Monkey Ball, for instance [App Store Link]. They can’t be transferred to an iPhone or iPod touch as of this writing, but expect that to change soon.

Have fun poking around, and stay tuned to Apple for more in-depth coverage.
