After Changing Itunes Store Missing Applications .. Please help !

Dears,
I have a wearied situation here (Which Apple apple genius and support people were not able to help at) summarized as below !
I bought an Iphone 5s 32G from Saudi.
My apple ID was assigned to the Saudi store.
I downloaded some (free) applications and I've purchased some other.
I have moved to the US, so I changed the store from the Saudi one to the US one.
I Factory rest my Iphone.
I logged-in with my Apple ID (newly assigned to the US store).
went to the Update/purchased section to find out that all my applications (Free and Paid) disappeared.
Apple support people informed me that this is related to the different in countries, so i am OK losing my paid application.
I downloaded my free applications again ( WhatsApp, Shamzam .... ect.) HOWEVER, when i go to the Updated/ Purchased section the surprised is (can not find the installed applications).
This happens only to the application i have downloaded before when my ID was assigned to the Saudi store, however the (first time) downloaded application it does appear in the Updated/ Purchased section.
Would you please advice if you have an idea how o solve this issue, and PLEASE do not tell me to back it up with iTunes ( we are in the iCloud Ear and i think Apple is was smarter than this manual way) and do not tell me to have two accounts.
Thank You my good friends.

As well as being tied to the account that downloaded it, content is tied to the country that it was downloaded in - you will need to be back in Saudi Arabia with a Saudi billing address on your account for you to potentially be able to redownload any apps that you downloaded whilst in Saudi Arabia.
And yes, you should be copying all of your downloads to your computer's iTunes library, you are only guaranteed one download of any item from the store - any of the apps (or music, films etc) that you have downloaded since being in the USA could be removed by the rights-holder at any time (and audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), in which case you wouldn't be able to redownload them.

  • Problem connecting after using Itunes 5.0. Please help!

    I updated to Itunes 5.0 a couple of days ago. I didn't have any problems installing it and was running fine. Then when I had purchased some music when it was imported to my Ipod, a couple of the songs were freezing. I was trying to figure out whether it was the song on my Ipod or if it was the purchased song. While I was doing that my program froze and told me it no longer recognized my Ipod and come up with the error message that says Itunes is not responding, End Now.
    After I did that, it seemed as though my Ipod had been deleted, and I thought all hope was lost. Now after looking in the files, it shows my Ipod Control folder has just been hidden. I have gone in and shown the files so they are no longer hidden. I also noticed it had the 4 letter song names in there too now. When I open Itunes again, it just hides them again and continues to say its unable to recognize my Ipod and that I need to update my Ipod software, which I have tried and still doesn't work.
    What should I do now? I was thinking about uninstalling Itunes 5.0 and going back to my old version, but I have seen that other people have been having problems with that.
    My main concern is that I don't want to lose my music because I don't have it backed up because my computer doesn't have the space to hold all of my songs and I don't have any external drives or anything to store them on.
    Please help!

    I have had a very similar problem
    -Currently using: Windows XP Home edition with most recent updates
    -2.39Ghz processor, Itunes 5
    -IPOD 20GB I only have used up 3.9GB
    Very similar problem
    My IPOD has recently had a weird problem after installing Itunes 5. When I first connect the ipod to the computer everything seems to be working fine, because the ipod displays the "please do not disconnect" message, and ITUNES come up on the screen and lets me play music from my ipod only for a brief few minuets. The computer then stops playing the song it was currently playing and I tunes freezes. After that point the only way to unfreeze Itunes is to press select/menu on the ipod. When the ipod restarts and I plug the ipod back into my computer it won't bring I tunes up again, and I am unable to access the ipod drive. A screen comes up after 10 minuets saying I have to reformat my ipod because it can not be read. I have already done so about 10 times and I still have the same problem.
    My ipod doesn't freeze when I'm just listening to it with my earphones or on my stereo, but it laggs more thean usual when changeing songs or menus (I have only used up 3.9GB). I have also tried using my ipod on other computers and I get the same problem. Please Help!

  • Please help me to clear my iTunes Store download queue., Please help me to clear my iTunes Store download queue.

       Please help me to clear my iTunes Store download queue.

    Finally, I got it.
    After spending most of Friday night on the issue, I found the following at ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    Obviously, some srewed up downloads have been sitting in the download folder and causing a) crashes at start-up (since itunes will try immediately to continue the download after start up) and b) avoiding anything else to be downloaded (seems to be a kind of "first come- first to be downloaded"-arrangement).
    I found several "downloads"-folders using Spotlight. Most likely, because I moved the iTunes library to access it from my account as well as from the account of my wife (at the same computer). I deleted all those downloads-folders and ... voila .. suddenly the downloads continued. Funny, that there have been more conflicts in the queue of app 20 files to be downloaded. Means, I could download 5 and the problem came back. I repeated the procedure and could continue with the remaining 15 files.
    After all, iTunes' download behaviour is back to normal. Songs, movies, apps, podcasts can be downloaded without any issue.

  • Movies download issues after changing iTunes store

    After moving countries, I changed my iTunes store and payment info from US to Netherlands, that was fine. But when I tried to download the movies I purchased in the US iTunes store, I got the message that "this movie is not available in the Dutch store". Of course not, I purchased it while having the US iTunes store! I found all the movies also in the Dutch store, but Apple wants me to pay for them again, despite the fact I paid for them before under the US iTunes store - this is not making any sense at all, since I did not change my ID, just the country and the payment info - and at no point in the process was there a warning that you would loose all purchases made under the previous store. What am I missing here? Any ideas how to get back the movies I paid for? These are the movies I had on my iPad, by the way. Thanks!

    If they are still stored on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
    I've never changed countries so I don't know what does/doesn't show (though it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't), but it is mentioned on this page : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account. But ideally you'd be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads even if you don't change countries, a rights-holder could remove their item (film, music album, app etc) from the store at any time (and audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads) - you are only guaranteed one download of any item.

  • TS1368 I cannot connect to iTunes store using iTunes. 'Secure link to iTunes store failed'. Please help!

    I cannot connect to iTunes store using iTunes. I have version 11.0.2.26 on Win 7 pc. I have had no problems until recently. Can't say exactly the problem began as I don't normally use my computer to access the store but my last successful access according to iTunes diagnostics was 28th Feb 2013 (if thats useful?!)
    I've run the Network Connectivity Test in iTunes diagnostics and I got the following results:
    - Network interfaces verified.
    -Internet connection verified.
    -Secure link to iTunes failed.
    When I click the help button next to the 'Secure link to iTunes failed' message I get the following:
              ''iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the internet.'
    My pc is connected to the internet. I've checked firewalls. Windows firewall is off. I'm running AVG internet security 2013. Iv've checked the firewall settings on that and iTunes is not being blocked.
    Getting kinda frustrated. Can anybody help please???

    I seem to have tracked down the problem. AVG Family Safety software was causing the issue somehow. I have uninstalled it and iTunes now working. I will contact AVG for a solution as I now have no way of blocking certain sites.

  • I can't open my iTunes Store?! Please help?

    I can't open the iTunes Store app for some reason. Please help?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I trashed i tunes all together and reloaded everything. When I tried to access my shopping cart again it said I had to upgrade my itunes. So I did and now I can't access the shopping cart at all again. I think apple needs to fix it's upgrade! That is obviously the problem. I had a shopping cart full too but I had to scrap it and switch to the "buy now" option. Maybe someone will have a solution for us????

  • Missing applications- please help!

    Somehow I managed to loose several of my applications, namely anything beginning with the letter N-Z.
    I tried redownloading the OS 10.4.10, but can now not open it.
    Since it is labour day, the Apple support line is not open. Any ideas on how I might be able to either recover the rest of my lost applications or open the new version of the OS?
    Thank you

    Hi Kaydi, You downloaded 10.4.10? An update will not replace an application. Is it possible the apps. were moved? You can check this by clicking on the Spotlight icon in the top far right corner of your menubar and type in "preview" wait a few seconds and see if Preview.app appears. If it does, try to open it. Also are all the dock icons N-Z gone? Is your Utilities folder gone as well.
    If Spotlight did not help, search by clicking on the File>Find from the finder menubar. Try Preview again or Disk Utility(which is in your Utilities folder).
    If they appear click the item ONCE to highlight it. at the bottom of the window it will show you the path to where it is now.
    Good Luck....if they are gone the only thing your can do is reinstall with an archive and install.

    Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
    I just finished another "experiment".
    I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
    So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
    So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
    What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
    Thanks

    All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
    Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
    If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
    Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

  • I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? Please help!

    I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    Update your safari.  Install this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
    The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not.
