How do I restore an app that is no longer available in the app store

I did a couple of really stupid things like trying to install ios8 without doing a complete backup anywhere (really stupid I know) and relying on one program to keep my passwords in without backing it up somewhere. The whole upgrade to ios8 through iTunes went badly and I had to do a restore. I was able to retrieve pics and such from my pc but that's it. I've gone to the App Store and downloaded some of the apps I'd purchased over the years, but the password program I used wasn't there. The other apps I downloaded restored things like webpages I had been looking at before the restore as well as progress in games, so it must be able to retrieve some info from the iPads memory. It's the loss of that password program that's really driving me nuts as I didn't have the info elsewhere. I bought it a few years back but it's not in the App Store anymore. It was called Safe, the icon was gray with a dial like the front of a safe. I'm hoping that there is some way of restoring this app and, like the other apps I've downloaded again, the information will still be there.
has anyone had any experience with this or that could point me in the right direction? It really isn't backed up elsewhere on my pic or the iCloud.

If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it, and if you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (you don't have another iOS device which has it on ?), and if you haven't got a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes (if you haven't got a backup then you won't have the app's content), then you won't be able to get it and your passwords back.

Is it safe to delete iTunes media that is no longer available in the iTunes Store?

There is a support document that states it is OK to delete content locally so long as the content is available in the cloud depending on your geographic location. As I'm in the US all media types are available. From the document:
You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
What I am still not clear on is if it is also safe to delete content that is no longer available in the iTunes store? Will it still be available for previous purchases?
I prefer the quality and off-line availability of iTunes media over Google Play but I've had issues recovering deleted media in iTunes in the past and so have less anxiety about the security of my purchases on Google Play versus iTunes. Can someone confirm if items no longer available for sale in iTunes are or are not still available via the cloud?

Thanks for the reply although I'm not too happy to hear it. What's awesome about the cloud is no longer having to keep up with any physical media. The promise of that is realized with everything else (my work, music, books) besides movies and TV.
I wonder how Google Play will handle movies/tv that becomes unavailable? Google Play does allow you to download media in some circumstances (on Android and iOS) but is generally intended for streaming. Maybe relying on a physical copy as I do with iTunes should make me more comfortable with it and not less.
I will come back to mark your reply as the solution as it becomes clear there is not a contrary position. Thank you.

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

I have apps that say they are open in the app updates, how do I get them to close and not run in the updates?

I have apps that say they are open in the apps updates, how do I get them to close in the app updates?

This is normal under iOS 7. The App Store app shows all apps you have updated and are displayed in an "updated" list. The apps will drop off of the list in a few weeks or so. If they show as being updated, then they have in fact been updated. They will remain in the "updated" list until they are dropped off after a time.

How come Samuel Huntington's book in english is not available on the UK store but on non-english ones?

How come Samuel Huntington's book in english is not available on the UK store but on non-english ones?

Because whoever holds the copyright to it in the UK hasn't given Apple permission to sell it there.

How can I deauthorize a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized.

IPhoto 9.4.3 no longer available in the App Store?

My wife has an older MacBook running 10.7.5. It is still running great, but it is too old to update to 10.9 Mavericks. I would like to buy the newest possible version of iPhoto that will run on 10.7.5. I believe this is iPhoto 9.4.3. But the only iPhoto available in the App Store is 9.5, which requires Mavericks.
I can purchase an old version of iLife '11 on Amazon for $40, (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES), but I am concerned about purchasing an old product through a third-party reseller. Plus I don't need iMovie or GarageBand and would rather pay $14.99 for iPhoto alone.
Additionally, I have a newer MacBook Pro also running 10.7.5 and iLife '11 (iPhoto 9.4.3). My plan is to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
I want to store my iPhoto library on an external hard drive so that both my wife and I can access it. I will connect the external drive to my MacBook Pro when I want to add photos or do editing. My wife will connect it to her MacBook when she wants to add photos or do editing. So even though I can upgrade my MacBook Pro to 10.9 and 9.5, I am holding off for now. I am not sure if an iPhoto 9.5 library is compatible with iPhoto 9.4.3? So to be safe, I want both machines running 9.4.3.
Question #1 - What is the best way to get iPhoto 9.4.3 on a MacBook that cannot run Mavericks 10.9 or iPhoto 9.5?
Question #2 - Is an iPhoto 9.5 library backward compatible for a machine running 9.4.3?

Yes, iPhoto 9.4.3 will work with Mavericks. As a precaution I keep a copy of iPhoto in another folder so that it won't get overwritten by accident. The only official thing I can show you is this from my computer showing those apps that work and those that don't:
This is a screenshot of all of my test libraries which work with Mavericks:
The only version of iPhoto that doesn't work with Mavericks is iPhoto 9.3.2 (probably all 9.3 versions). Why, that's a mystery. I have test libraries for all of the versions above. iPhoto 8 and earlier do take a while to load their libraries as there's some old MobileMe stuff in them that slows them down.

How do I cancel a subscription that is "no longer available"?

I want to cancel an auto-renewing app subscription that seems impossible to cancel. The iTunes subscription management page has no interactive controls except for a “Done” button. The app developer can’t help me, Apple has not responded to my request for support, and e-mail from the iTunes store says the subscription will be renewed on 10/21/14. Details:
About two years ago, I downloaded the Magmic New York Times Crossword app from iTunes to my iPod. I started an annual subscription to that app, which automatically renews.
I lost my iPod, and I have no other Apple devices, so I want to cancel that subscription. Magmic support has been unable to explain how I can cancel my subscription. They advised me that I can cancel the subscription via the app on my Apple device. Because I no longer have any Apple devices or any way of running any Apple apps, this is impossible.
Magmic also advised me to use the App Store subscription management page for my account. Using iTunes on my Windows PC, I found the subscription management page for the crossword app. It shows that my “Daily and Archive Puzzle Subscription (The New York Times Crossword)” expires on Oct 21, 2014. The same page also includes this remark: “This subscription is no longer available.”
I don’t understand whether I need to do anything to prevent auto-renewal on Oct 21, 2014. The only interactive control on the subscription management page is a button labeled “Done”. I don’t see any way to cancel the subscription or stop auto-renewal on that page.
I think I read somewhere that Apple has stopped support for the Magmic crossword app, so I was assuming my subscription would *not* auto-renew anymore. However, just a few days ago, on Oct. 5, 2014, I received e-mail from the iTunes store informing me that my “subscription to The New York Times Crossword will automatically renew on 10/21/14 and you will be charged at that time.” Does Apple really plan to renew my subscription, and charge me, even though the iTunes app store says “this subscription is no longer available” and even though I have no devices on which I can use any Apple app? Is there any way I can cancel this subscription and stop auto-renewal?
I opened an Apple support case asking these questions on 10/7/14. I received an automatically generated reply that said an iTunes Store rep would respond within 24 hours. It’s been about 48 hours, and I have not received a reply. Can anyone clarify these issues for me?

Is there a way to recover a deleted app that was backed up on the iCloud but is no longer available on the App Store?

I had downloaded this app before it was removed from the App store but I accidentally deleted it off my phone. It says it's back up with iCloud but I don't know how to get it back onto my phone. Is that even possible?

Not unless it is in your iTunes library. If so, you can sync it back to your phone. If not, you can't get it back.
This is why you want to always transfer your purchases to iTunes by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Or, turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) or Edit>Preferences>Devices (PC).

How Do I Delete a Podcast that Can't Be Found in the iTunes Store

I have recently taken over the technical side of a church. We have a podcast submitted through iTunes that another gentlemen once administered. The problem is, we can't find that Podcast in the iTunes store. I can still get the podcasts to show up and download in the "Podcasts" section of iTunes, but I can't get it to appear on the store. We host our files on a site called "Cloversite," which unfortunately manages the XML feed and all of the submission process by itself. The podcast URL is http://towneministries.org/podcast.php?pageID=28. I need to get to the store link so that I can request that it be deleted, but I can't find it. We cannot change the URL due to the host, and therefore we cannot resubmit appropriately. How can I request that it be deleted and have the RSS removed so that we can resubmit and manage under a universal email address?
Thanks!

The URL you quote is that of the feed, not the Store page, residing on your server.
The podcast doesn't seem to be in the Store so if it was ever there it's presumably been removed. The fact that you can subscribe to the feed in iTunes is a purerely local matter - your own iTunes application is simply connecting directly to the feed and the Store is not involved.
However there is a bug in the Store which will prevent you resubmitting the feed as it stands and will tell you it's already been submitted (even if it's been removed). The workaround for this is to change the title slightly (you can always change it back later) - if you can also change the feed URL that would also be a good idea. Then you should be able to submit the feed as an entirely new podcast.

Lion is no longer available from the App Store, but I haven't gotten it yet.

I purchased Lion from the App Store on October 27th, but then realized I could not download it yet due to bandwidth restrictions at school (though I did download it once, but the file corrupted and I went over the bandwidth limit, causing my Internet to be shut off). So I'm finally home for Thanksgiving, and went to download again to install it this time. However, the download is no longer available. It doesn't show up as purchased, and when I tried to log in and download it, it wanted to charge me another $30.
Is there any way that I can redownload this again without paying again?
Thanks in advance,
John Walsh

Alright. I resolved the problem. In case anyone else has this issue, my copy of Lion got moved to 'hidden purchases'. Unhiding it fixed the problem.
