Is there any way to know when an app is going to be discontinued?

I purchased an app around eight months ago for $13. I forgot about it until I was reloading apps onto my new IPad. When I went to find it, it was no longer in the app store at all. I contacted the support people who told me that since it was "so long ago" there was no recourse.  So does that mean that any time you purchase an app it could disappear at any moment? Is there any way to know in advance that this will happen?  Never mind that it stinks to spend that amount of money and then have nothing to look back at.
Additionally, I have had trouble reloading apps that I have paid for as an "in app purchase".  What is the deal with that?  Is that information not stored like buying an app outright?
Thanks

Apple constantly reminds folks to backup their content. Apple warns folks all of the times that content may not always be available in the iTunes or Mac App Stores and most folks ignore the warnings or cannot be bothered to read them. No, unless the developer warns you that they are with drawing an app from one of the stores, there is no way to know in advance that an app may no longer be available.

    Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.

  • Is there any way to know when block corruption occurred?

    In Oracle when block corruption happens; it does not write to alert.log. If one is running dbv or rman backup is being done or rman validate command is run then one knows about corruption. However, one does not know when actually corruption occurred. Is there a way to know exact time of corruption?

    I am using cooked file system, no async i/o, no asm. However, by default on HP UNIX disk_asyncio=true ib iit.ora but I had read if there is no aysnc dveice set; i/o will be sychronous i/o. I am using Oracle 11g database on HP UNIX 11.23.
    There are several other database instances on that server using oracle 11g and Oracle 10g and they do not have problem. Only one instance in QA and one in PROD has block corruption. Luns on XP are created by Storage
    group and Logical Vloumes on UNIX are set ny UNIX admins. Each instange is on separte volume group and separate ORACLE_HOME.
    I suspect somehow something was not set correctly in LUNS or in logical volmes. However, HP enginerrs cannot find naything wrong; so root cause is still unknon.

  • Is there a way of knowing when an app was last opened on my iPad?

    Hello
    I'm using an iPad Air with iOS 8.3. Is there a way of finding out when a particular app was last used and for how long?
    Thanks for any help.
    Dave

    Thanks KP, that's a shame - do you, or anyone else, know of an app that can monitor these things? Basically, I want to be able to see which apps my children have used (games mostly) and when they've used them. I'm sure I can't be the only one!
    Cheers

  • Is there any way to know that the UI has been updated due to a bind change?

    Hi
    For the given code snippet
    var c=Circle{

      centerY:10
      fill:Color.YELLOW
      onMouseClicked:function(event){
          c.fill=Color.RED;

      onMouseClicked:function(event){
          c.fill=Color.RED;
          printNodeAsImage(c, filename) //to a file
    }Let us assume that printNodeAsImage(c,filename) saves the circle node with the current color to a file. See http://rakeshmenonp.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/javafx-1-3-save-as-image/ for a implementation of this function
    What we notice instead is that printNodeAsImage(c, filename) actually saves the node with the color YELLOW instead of RED. Is there any way to know deterministically when the UI has been updated due to a variable value change (or because of binding). (In this case the transition from Yellow to Red) So that we can perform other operations on the UI state - like saving it to a file

    Hi,
    I am exposing a stateless session EJB using Oracle SOAP Webservices...and it is working smoothly.

  • Is there any way to know the T-code from the screen?

    Hi friemds,
    it s a general question. but I found relavant for posting here.
    I saw our group friens giving some T-codes for spro functions (eg: SNRO, M/06), bbut how to know the transaction from path. i.e. If I go to condition types screen, there I could not see any transaction. is there any way to know the T-code from the screen?

    Hi,
    Listed here are the various ways you can find the list of transaction codes and their usage:
    Use transaction SE11 - ABAP Dictionary:
    Fill in the Database table name and click the Display button.
    - TSTC   table will contain all the Tcodes and
    - TSTCT table will contain all the Tcodes with Texts.
    Once you entered the screen, click in Top Menu - Utilities - Table contents - Display
    If you want to display all the transaction code (total - 57,048) you have to change the Fields: Maximum number of hits to 99999 (default 500).
    or
    Simply goto transaction SM01, although this tcode is to Lock/Unlock any transaction code, you can also view all the tcode available in the R/3 system from here.
    or
    Goto transaction SE93
    There are two ways where you can find the list of transaction codes in SE93.
    Method 1:
    You must be familiar with the starting characters strings for each of the R/3 application modules.
    Assuming you know that most Materials Management transaction codes start with MM.
    In the Fields: Transaction code, type in MM* and press the function key F4
    The list of transaction code starting with MM will be displayed.
    Method 2:
    On the Top Menu, click Utilities - Find - Execute and the first 500 transaction will be display.
    If want to display all the tcodes, make sure you remembered to change the Fields: Maximum no. of hits right at the bottom of the screen.
    I know a particular T Code and can enter and work on it.  How do I know what is the menu path for that T Code?
    Enter Search_SAP_Menu in the command box and when the pop box appears enter, the Tcode and it will give the nodes and menu path. 
    This is helpful only in case of SAP Menu not in case of SPRO - ie IMG.....
    Reward if Helpful,
    Regards,
    Archit.

  • Is there any way to know that status of DEFINE variable?

    Hi,
    I have a list of scripts that is executed to create my baseline database. At the beginning of the script execution, we have a SET DEFINE OFF and at the end we put SET DEFINE ON. During one of the scripts, we deliberately SET DEFINE ON and we forgot to SET DEFINE OFF at the end of the script. Consequently, the following scripts started failing without error notification because they contained '&' in the INSERT query. I have the following queries:
    1. Is there any way to know the status of the DEFINE variable at the beginning of the script?
    2. Since the oracle gives a user interrupted error, the script execution process does not terminate with error. Instead, it continues executing the next scripts. Is there a general way to capture such errors and terminate the script execution. We already have WHENEVER SQLERROR and WHENEVER OSERROR in our script execution process.

    SHOW DEFINEtells you if DEFINE is ON or OFF.
    If DEFINE is ON, it will produce something like:
    define "&" (hex 26)If DEFINE is OFF, it will produce
    define OFF

It sounds like you want to make sure DEFINE is OFF at a certain point. To do that, just say
    SET  DEFINE  OFFRegardless of whether DEFINE was ON or OFF before you issue that command, you can be sure it will be OFF after that.
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a complete test script (or set of scripts) that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
    Point out where the scripts you post are not doing what you want, and describe, with specific examples, what you want it to do in those places.
