Previously purchased app geo-blocked from Australian store

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Yosemite, and have found I can no longer open an app I purchased in April 2014.  The problem now is that it seems to have been “pulled” from the Australian store; it’s still available in the US store, but I obviously can’t access it due to geo-blocking.  That means I won’t be able to install the updated app when it’s loaded on to the US app store.  The app in question is “Lessons for iMovie” by Ripple Training Inc. They indicated to me their awareness of the problem with Yosemite, and stated it will be updated soon, but can’t do anything about the geo-blocking issue.  Question to Apple: how can I access this update?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I think that your developer is fibbing to you. Developers decide in which stores their apps are sold, not Apple. Yes, if an app you bought in the US isn't available in Australia then you can't update it or redownload it, but its availability is a decision of the developer.

    Are you expecting to see the apps that you can see on the iPad, on the Mac?
    iOS apps which run on your iPad and use the iOS operating system, won't run on your Mac, which usues a different operating system, OS X.

  • How do I redeem iTunes card from Australian store front

    My friend sent me two iTunes card numbers from Australia to USA. When I tried to redeem them a message popped saying I must redeem from Australian store front. What does this mean and how do I redeem the cards???

    Actually no I am not by wording of that it simply means one MUST spend the funds where it was purchased or IN Territory of purchase / country of origin. my friend APPLE / iTunes are very smart people by the way. one you must have credit / debit card as well as phone number that is actually number.  But the key to what I am saying is this if you change your address and number and so on, and you enter the card number TAKE A WILD GUESS WHERE You HAVE TO SPEND  THE MONEY:). YES U R RIGHT AUSTRALIA And Yes  YOU ARE WRONG as well as other two. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO Move  THERE TO SPEND THE MONEY THERE.  LAW IS MERELY WORDS THAT ARE COMPOSED TO EXPRESS THE LAWS. WELL THERE ARE ALWAYS LEAGAL LOOP HOLES IN THOSE LAWS.  POINT?? ITUNES IS WORLD WIDE AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE PURCHASE IS WORLD WIDE. MEANING YES I CAN LEAVE THE COUNTRY OF AUSTRALIA AMD STilL SPEND EVERY DIME OF THE CURRENCY IN A ITUNE STORE GOVERNED BY AUSTRALIA which pays their taxes to do business in that country. THE POINT TO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THERE OR THAT WHICH You POSTED MEANS THAT CARD CAN GO TO SPACE AMD IF YIU HAVE IPOD IPHONE OR THE IPAD AMD LOG K TO ITUNES ON 15679515MARS YIU WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE AUSTRALIAN ITUNES STORE. IF YOU WENT TO A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY WHERE NO MAN HAS BODLY Gone BEFORE lol AND YOu ARE ABLE TO Receive EARTH  WIFI  YOU WILL SPEND THAT MONEY With THE AUSTRALIA. HAHA DO YOU THINK THAT WEALTHY MULTI MILLIONAIRE IS ON A BUSINESS FLIGHT AND HE HAS ITUNES CARD FROM TIMBUKTU DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK HE/SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SPEND IT LOL COME ON MAN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE POSTING. THOSE WORDS SIMPLY PUT ONLY MEANS THIS (the card was purchased in this or that country so you have to spend currency with that country. The second thing and more important THAN LEAVING AND  PERSON WHO SAYS ( oh no I have to fly back to Australia at four lol to spend this million on my iTunes card)lol wow smart guy OK SERIOUSLY LMAO. OK THE MAJOR POINT IN THAT RULE IS (((DO NOT ATTEMT TO HACK OR SPEND IN JAPAN OR AMERICAS AND SO ON))))). LOL WOW STUDY THE LAWS MY FRIEND. ALSO APPLE ISNt MULTI BILLION corporation for not being able to solve that one with ease. Any ways as I sit in my Seattle home ( north of) I have 2 things my fifty bucks from friend on account and two a very expensive Australian iTunes Store list & until I spend every dime to the last  penny is spent. And if there  is a balance unable to make purchase it will get put into a Australian account or will in some way get spent that country by law as written. so genius the money never leaves the country lol. And no laws are violated from Australian iTunes agreement. 
    Like I said do your research before you post incorrect info. ONE !!!YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FLY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO SPEND MONEY WITH ANOTHER  COUNTRY. AN AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT ATTEMPT IN ANYWAY SHAPE FORM OR FASION TO SPEND THAT MONEY OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN STORE YOU CAN GO TO Any OF THE NINE OR TEN PLANETS AND USE IT. BOOM.  IN YO FACE HAHA. Oh there are lots of cricket apps. Lol I mean lots like wow lots also the prices for books are almost double and the apps USA would pay 4.99 are like 7-9.99. So any other remarks  about this issue to me is pointless why???!!because I have my money two my Apple ID is or app /iTunes store is connected to Australia so therefore as long as I do not attempt in any way to spend it else where no laws will be violated. If you think I'm wrong my friend give them a call and study the agreement or research more deeply. No hard feelings but make sure you are correct when saying I am wrong that I know to be true.

  • HT5085 Previously Purchased Apps No Longer Available

    Hi everyone,
    I've switched places of residence from Russia to Ukraine (subsequently changing required address information) in the Apple ID form after Ukraine had appeared in "the list of ICountries" using my new MacBook Pro (Retina). That went well. However, now I can't retrieve none of the previously purchased apps neither on my iPhone nor on my MacBook. On both devices, the iTunes' "Purchased" link leads to an empty list of previously purchased apps. Not fair, given that I had purchased a ton of apps in the past.
    My iPhone and MacBook are authorised, and all other configurations seem in place. I still see what used to be my apps in the Purchase History. Am I missing something? Or is it just how it is now?
    I'd be more than happy to get back my apps. Please help.

    When you change accounts to another country, you no longer can use past purchases from the cloud from the former. International restrictions here...

  • Why do all of my previously purchased app say they are no longer available?

    Each time I try to download a previously purchased app, a message says it is no longer available.  It even happens with my movies I've purchased.  Is iCloud down or something?

    There currently appears to be a problem with the iTunes Store. Try again tomorrow.

    My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

    You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.
