IBooks item no longer available in Australian store

# I just sent this to Apple support,which I think outlines my situation. I thought it worth asking here also
# The support page wouldn't allow me to post, so I took some others advice and kept original post a sentence...that seems to work...then edit with more detail, as I am now!
Hi Apple.
I need your help.
I have owned an iPad 2 since 2011, which I purchased a handful of books via the older version of iBooks, namely all the Song of Ice and Fire complete collection by George RR Martin.
These are used for my own pleasure, and also for reviews and research I do online for the Game of Thrones TV phenomenon, plus general literature blogs and sites.
I purchased the 5 available titles successively over one year, approx around 2012-2013 timeframe.
All the books were working fine until iOS 8 was installed onto my iPad 2. Apart from very slow page loading and other constant glitches, which are still present, my main reason for connecting Apple support is:
- the 5thbook in the series, A Dance with Dragons, was purchased as one whole book in a single purchase. This book has an "update" prompt on my Ipad 2 iBooks library, but it comes up as
"item unavailable in the Australian store"?
# the ID/link/info is : https://itunes.apple.com/au/book/dance-dragons-complete-edition/id435202115?isIn PurchasedView=true&mt=11
It is now ONLY available as 2 separate parts e.g. book1 & Book 2 via the iBOOKS STORE.
I want to re-access that original purchase and sync to my new macbook retina.
I will not be paying for the 2 separate books, as I have already purchased the complete book.
What are my options?
Thank you kindly

That's the link to the book that for some reason isn't available now in the US.

Item no longer available...

I bought a placebo CD some months ago, I lost it in a sync and I tried to download it again (with the new iCloud spec.), but it's not in the itunes store, what shoud I do now?

And what happens with items that are there but I can't download?
For example: "Placebo - Blue american", I see it but I got the "Item no longer available" message when I try to download it.
BTW sorry for my english :/

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

Hello royalaqua,
I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year. Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases. Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

E72 : "Item no longer available; Restoring default...

Hi all,
Has anyone seen this message on E72 ?
I have had my E72 for abt a month. After much struggle and trial/errors I had got most of the stuff working (email etc.).
HOWEVER, I made the big mistake of accepting the firmware v 023.xx upgrade. It never completed the update successfully (the USB connection kept getting lost).
But the worst part is I am now getting these random messages when I am simply scrolling thru' the menu items.
"Item no longer available. Restoring default key setting".
Has anyone seen this message on E72 ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
When I check the firmware it still shows 021.024 dated 17-Oct-2009.

Did you upgrade using OVI or NSU? I did upgrade mine to 023.002 with NSU 2.4.1. If you use Vista or 7 as OS, make sure you have Administrator right while installing OVI, PC Suite, or NSU.
During the installation, the phone disconnected. I remove the USB connection and the battery as well, then plug the USB and battery in then click Retry. It worked after 2 times remove and plug-in.
I never seen the message you have before. I think it is because the firmware upgrade didn't finish successfully. And for USB keep disconnected, try use other USB port and make sure it is direct connection from PC to E72 without using any USB hub.

Hi Guys does anyone know of a way i can get cyclops speed camera alert to work through bluetooth incar hands free kit , i used to be able to connect it via an app called drivesafely but this app is no longer available in apple store ????????????

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Hi and welcome to the WD community.
Try to see if perhaps you are connecting the drive to a surge protector and it might not be getting enough power, try to connect the adapter directly to a power outlet on the wall to see if you get a different result.

Is the iBook app ok longer available? Also any book I try to download it says this item is no longer available.

iBook can't be downloaded onto a device that doesn't already have it? Can't even find it in the App Store. And on my phone that does have it, all the books say "no longer available."

There are reports of users having problems downloading content or updating apps.
Try later or tomorrow.

Item No Longer Available For Purchase

I was trying to purchase the "No One" music video by Alicia Keys, and when I clicked 'Buy Video', a message popped up saying: "The item you tried to buy is no longer available. The availability of the item changed while you were using the store. The same item may be available with a different price or elsewhere on the store." Please explain to me why this has happened and if there is a way that I can purchase the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also having this issue. I live in Adelaide, South Australia.
I am trying to purchase a few tracks from the "Australian Gold" album by Wallis and Matilda. When I search for the artist Wallis and Matilda, the "Australian Gold" album is listed, but clicking on it simply gives me the error message "Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the Australian store."
The track listings for all the Wallis and Matilda albums appear, and allow me to listen to the previews, but if I attempt to click on the Buy Song button next to the track, I get the same message as Millie C. - ie "The item you tried to buy is no longer available".
I have attempted to contact the iTunes Store to report this at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/ but there are no suitable sub-categories available under either the "Purchase(s) - problem" or "Downloading" categories on the form, neither is there a category for "Other" (this amazes me).
It is therefore impossible to contact the store to report a problem, because the "Ask Your Question Here" part of the form is not available unless you select one of the Sub-Categories under a main Category!
The "Your request could not be completed" issue is also evident with the albums "The Great Bushwhackers Band, Vol. 1" and "The Great Bushwhackers Band, Vol. 3", from the Bushwhackers Band, as well as the album "The Fable Years: Australian Music History 1970-1984" by various artists, and also "Normie Rowe - The Fable Years".
In the case of Wallis and Matilda, I recall having the exact same issue a couple of years ago, so it is not a case of waiting to see if it fixes itself as someone suggested in another, older post on this issue.
I find it absolutely mind boggling that I am in Australia, and can't even purchase songs from these well-known Aussie artists in the Australian iTunes store!!
Yes, I can purchase other songs, and yes, I am running the latest version of iTunes.
Any ideas would be most welcome - at least an idea of how I can contact the iTunes store???
Cheers,
Gerry

ITunes Plus upgrading - "item no longer available"

I'm having trouble upgrading song to iTunes Plus.
Specifically, when I attempt to upgrade my library, I get a dialog box saying "The item you tried to buy is no longer available."
I have verified that all of the iT+ eligible songs/albums ARE available, and show up when selected in the iTunes Store.
So I thought maybe my tags were different from the ones on the iTunes Store. But after going in to iTunes and manually matching the tags on the music in my Purchased library to exactly match the tags of the tracks listed in the iTunes Store's 'Upgrade' area, I STILL get the 'Item not found' message and am unable to upgrade ANY of the eligible tracks. This is really annoying.
Why can't iTunes upgrade the ones that CAN be found?
Anyone have a workaround or solution to this problem?

I downloaded and installed the 7.2 upgrade on my laptop at work. I logged into the Apple store and went to the DRM-Free section. iTunes searched the songs on my laptop and presented me with a list of songs/albums that could be upgraded. I chose not to upgrade them because all of my music is on my desktop machine at home.
When I got home I did the upgrade and went back to the store. There is no option to rescan my library and when I do try to upgrade the songs I found, I get the following message:
"The item you tried to buy is no longer available.
The availability of the item changed while you were using the store. The same item may be available with a different price or elsewhere on the store."
At this point I guess I cannot upgrade my library or rescan it to upgrade the much larger list. I hope they fix this bug because I'm not going to upgrade just a portion of my songs and then pay full price for the rest of them.
Has anyone else seen this happen or knows of a way to resolve it?
I forgot to add that I am in the US.

Lent movie no longer available in iTunes Store.

Already lent movie (Headhunters) is no longer available as a hire movie in iTunes Store. Therefore playing back this movie is not available any longer. Please Help!

If you've had an email invoice click on Report a Problem with the rental, or go to:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
and follow itunes store links and raise the issue there.
Content providers sometimes remove items for sale or change rentals to purchase only and vice versa.
If you've rented but can't watch due to such an issue I'd hope iTunes store support will be able to refund you.

IBooks app - no longer available

I have tried numerous times to download the "iBook app" from the App Store for my iPad but I continuously receive the message that is no longer available. Is this for real, or is it just a temporary App Store glitch?
If no longer available,what is the best ebook download site for iPad?

There are really weird things going on with the App Store in the last two days. It seems to be impossible to browse through the apps properly. There are four discussions going on with that issue today. I am assuming the App Store is on the "fritz" as we used to say back in the day.
I contacted Apple through Express Lane. No response yet.

How to reinstall old app purchased on iphone that is no longer available in App Store?

A couple years ago I purchased a Colorado maps app (I can't remember the name) from the App Store. The computer that I had it backed up on crashed, so I had to reinstall iTunes on a fresh hard drive.
I still have the backup files of the hard drive that had the app backed up on it. But I don't know how to access the files for that lost app.
Is there a way to reinstall or recover old apps no longer available in the app store from an old backup of itunes or something?
Thanks

You're actually overthinking it. You have the backup of that app of your old HD, yes? On Vista, go to:
c:\Users\[Username]\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Mobile Applications
The tricky part is finding the app name, since you've forgotten it, but try to go with the obvious names first. "Colorado.ipa" etc. Try Appshopper.com's search feature, to possibly refresh your memory. When you've found it, make a copy of it, and install it on your new iTunes Mobile Apps folder. Click on it, and let it load. You'll see it in iTunes (if you're using the same account as before). Good luck.

A film I downloaded is no longer available in iTunes Store

A film I have purchased from the iTunes Store is no longer listed when i do a search (top right hand of iTunes application. For the avoidance of doubt the podcast associated with the film does come up so I am sure I am typing the name correctly) and therefore no longer available to download following a recent, accidental, delete!
Is there anything I can do to get the film back or is this one of the penalties of NOT purchasing a proper DVD and something I must expect to happen from time to time?

Dear King_Penguin,
I do hope you don't mind me troubling you a little further on this topic but in light of your kind reply I would like to know if there is a "Built-in" backup option in iTines, beyond the one I found on the Apple Support Forum (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751), which suggests one simply copie (drag & drop) the ...iTunes\music\ folder to a secondary hard disk OR offers the "Backup to Disk" option which requires countless CD/DVD's to backup a library of more than a few Gigabytes, which any library containing a few movies would easily exceed?
Once again many thanks for your kind reply,
youse sincerely,
Andreas.
