iTunes/Apple
 

We have recently retired to Portugal.

I have tried to update my Apps and also download music on iTunes, but failed.

Apparently I cannot purchase online as our credit card is UK and our devices are in Portugal.

Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks in anticipation.

Others may have technical fixes, but is not the simplest solution to use a Portuguese credit card? I presume you have one, or are in the process of getting one, since you have set up residence there.

Did you register the Itunes account at your UK or Portugese address?

I did this a while back, I can't recall how, but it's a case of resetting the international preferences in iTunes. It will also stop you purchasing anything from the App store if you're using a Mac until you do this. Or as suggested use a Portugese CC.

You should be able to use your iTunes account provided your devices were registered with that account.

You can also set up a Portuguese iTunes account using your Portuguese credit card.

I have both UK and French iTunes accounts and use both without problems in France (mainly use the UK one).
