FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING REGION PROBLEMS

#TIP 1
For people have region conflict problem displaying the following message

"Please try again in a while. We’re doing some maintenance." from Chrome & or error if you try to go through the store.

Go toyour my profile "https://account.microsoft.com/profile#/" and select "Go to your Xbox profile"
Then add your name and accept the Terms & Conditions.
This should fix the problem.

#TIP 2
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/manage-account/change-region

#TIP 3
WillieGophar sent in this information how he overcome the region issues
=====================================
I ended up having to do the following:
1. Uninstall Groove
2. Restart Windows 10
3. Use the Windows Store app rather than the web page to get at my purchases
4. 'Download' was now greyed out with a link above it saying 'you need to update your music app to download'
5. Clicked said link, which then re-installed Groove
6. Opened Groove, in which I could now see my Microsoft Account listed to sign in with
7. Switched back to the Windows Store app and clicked the now enabled 'Download' button
8. Finally saw my purchased albums being downloaded into Groove

Great price but a horrific buying process, I had the same location issues. Not good at all Microsoft, first time I have ever had issues buying music. This experience would put me of buying anything from Microsoft store again.

Many thanks all.
I ended up having to do the following:
1. Uninstall Groove (see here for excellent instructions)
2. Restart Windows 10
3. Use the Windows Store app rather than the web page to get at my purchases

Now all I've got to do is find where on my hard drive the MP3s have been downloaded to so I can uninstall Groove again and switch back to good old VLC... :confused:

Heat added - it worked straight away for me using Windows 10. Songs were a little slow to download in comparison to Amazon or iTunes - but for £1 I am not complaining.

antdav

19 Dec 15 #65

I have tried the following scenarios without any issue.

Purchased with Windows 10, Chrome - downloaded / played in Microsoft Groove
Also tested on Windows 7, Chrome and Internet Explorer 10
Finally tested on OSX & Safari

All working with only a message at the top of the screen about the region, and I clicked on the hyperlink to fix it.

I don't have windows 10, it made me log into Groove with my Microsoft ID, and once signed in I clicked download, then it said it will take a few minutes and put it in two folders, then it did nothing for ages. This was in Chrome, I tried in IE and that kept saying error and that I needed the Groove app compatible with windows 10. Maybe you could try a different browser?

seaniboy

19 Dec 15 #63

Groove is Microsoft default online player or offline if you have Windows 10 on your pc.

seaniboy

19 Dec 15 1 #62

Problems ? check your Xbox account region, not just your Microsoft Account region - mine was not UK. Microsoft Music used to be Xbox Music and there is a tech hangover.

Thanks OP, bought Now 92 and Olly Murs for one track... £1 worked out cheaper for the album :smiley:

HEAT!

WillieGophar

19 Dec 15 #61

OK thanks. But what did Windows 10 actually do immediately after you clicked Download? I'm getting a dialogue box that says 'Choose Application', with something called 'TWINUI' as the default.

spullot

19 Dec 15 #60

Tell a lie, mine has started to download, but only one folder, after about an hour after clicking download

spullot

19 Dec 15 #57

I wonder if they are doing cheap albums to get people to upgrade to windows 10 as it seems that's the only way you can download the songs.

WillieGophar to spullot

19 Dec 15 #59

But how do you actually download? I'm on Win 10 on a desktop PC, but every time I click 'Download' in the Microsoft Store, it tries to launch Groove :disappointed: After that, I'm lost.

MarkT1967

19 Dec 15 #58

Tried but it says sorry can't sell to your region, tried different ways, is there anyway to get this to download to an iPhone if I ever get the right region anyway?

WillieGophar

19 Dec 15 #56

How the hell do you download it once you've bought it? :confused:
(Using Windows 10 on a desktop, BTW)

redbutcher

19 Dec 15 #55

Great price.

WillieGophar

19 Dec 15 #54

I had to edit my Microsoft account settings to fill in 'England' as 'Constituent Region' - and it now works and lets me buy (but I can't see how to download - it tries to fire up something called 'TWINUI' which then launches Groove :disappointed: )
Hope that helps.

For people have region conflict problem,

After the error message, there is a option to log into your XBox account, log in, change region to UK.

Then come back to purchase the CD, the problem will go away.

SUPERCOOLWILLOW

19 Dec 15 #51

mite try this later thanks

umli

19 Dec 15 #50

Okay this solved it for me.

If you don't have a Xbox Account, it seems to be defaulting your location to the US even if your local region in Microsoft and on your PC is the UK.

In order to fix this, go to xbox.com when it comes up with the region invalid message. Create an xbox account, which will have a default region of US. Migrate it to a UK account and then you can go and buy the albums.

Oh and you don't need an Xbox to do this - I don't have one either.

Works for me, thanks.

No, this is a download only.

mbailey

19 Dec 15 #47

Couldn't get it work either. Checked my Microsoft profile and it is all set to UK, but still comes back with Region error. :-(

theboxdeluxe

19 Dec 15 #46

I also had "Please try again in a while. We’re doing some maintenance." from Chrome & and error if i tried to go through the store.
I went to my profile "https://account.microsoft.com/profile#/" and selected "Go to your Xbox profile" then by adding my name and accepting the T&Cs it all started working via the Store.
Hope this helps someone

Make sure your MS account is UK region.

When downloaded from the Android app is the music hidden and encrypted like on Google play music app?
How can I download the music properly? Thanks
*No. It's stored here:
Device storage > Music > XboxMusic

Eventually got this to work by logging on to xbox.com using my microsoft account and switching the region to UK. I didn't have an xbox account set up before this, so appears they're set to US by default.

Also kept getting errors about site maintenance. Poor.

One album downloaded, one did not. Stupid.
And Groove for Windows is of course for Windows 10.

You missed the fact I still voted this deal HOT :smiley: Never a good thing to get too precious about ones own deals now is it.

antdav

18 Dec 15 #38

Not at all, just plain old Sky Fibre,
Even checked it on,
Windows 7 Pro + Chrome
Windows 10 + Chrome
Mac OSX + Safari

All worked flawlessly.

I have an xBox Live Account and sign in with a *.co.uk email address.
When purchasing the music it displays the price in UK Sterling £1
When I buy it debits my credit card £1 and I receive an email confirming the transaction.

So I'm buggered if I can work out why it works for some people and not for others, ..... very frustrating!

shopaholic247

18 Dec 15 #7

Also tried to download, logged in with microsoft account and same message "Sorry, but we can’t sell you music ... Music sales aren’t supported in your region yet.". Will try again later.

Are you using a VPN of some description? Some torrent downloader/streaming software installs it as part of their installation. The VPN makes it appear you are accessing the service from a different country which of course would **** it up.

well my issue is still there
but was told to do the following

The store region is based on the region that is selected on your PC.

Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language

so dont know if that will help anyone yet

Try installing Microsoft Groove first and try again, some people have overcome the problem using this method.

I clicked on the three dots on the right of the album cover in my library and it had the download option. Gave up on dl on the pc and installed the app on my Android phone and in a couple of clicks had them dl to my phone and transferred to my pc. Made me laugh that MS couldn't get it working on their own OS but it works on a competitor OS :smile:

I had to change my XBox Live region to UK as it was conflicting

AndyJ78

18 Dec 15 #23

I had most of the albums but purchased Now 92 and Meghan Traynor. Only problem is I can't seem to dl them. Keeps saying it might take a few minutes for the dl to start and then ... nothing :disappointed:

Great deal but I'm also getting 'to buy things your store region needs to match the region of your Microsoft account' despite being in the UK and my settings saying exactly that. I've tried on chrome, Firefox and edge(!) as well as my android phone :disappointed:

18 Dec 15 #21

Check to see if you have a link that says "Take Me there" after complaining about the region.

I log in with a .co.uk email address, so unlikely to be that.
I'm at a loss why it works for some people and not others?
Anyone have any ideas folks?
