Purchases gone missing in Zinio reader app

I have recently purchased several publications for Zinio through the app and was charged through iTunes. However, after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2 and re-installing the Zinio app all my purchases have seemed to have disappeared. I have contacted Zinio who can't find my publications. Has anybody else had the same issue? Does anybody know how to resolve it?
Many Thanks in advance

As for the adult-material censorship, things haven't changed one bit. The only "comforting" news is that (as I knew) Android devices are enforcing the same policy. I wrote to Zinio complaining about the issue, and asked them if they were not considering an alternative way of letting us read those magazines (such as complimentary pdf copy), and this was the quite brutal answer, that made me cancel my Zinio subscription.
Thank you for contacting Zinio Customer Support.
Apple, The Android Market, and other providers restrict adult content for mobile devices.  Until they eliminate these restrictions, Zinio cannot provide adult content for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android. Zinio is not considering any options for making the content available to mobile devices at this time.
I understand that this is not "their" problem not their fault, but still, there are a lot of services providing adult material for iOS devices, such as mobile friendly websites... and then apps such as goodreader or bookman allowing you to load whatever material you want...
Bottomline: on the one hand Apple are a bunch of hypcrites, favoring the "as long as you do it yourself" rule. I am not one of those making a lot of fuss about the way manufacturers treat their employees at Foxconn & co., but **** what, it is not moral to read adult magazines but it is moral to treat workers as slaves? I hardly think so...
On the other hand, distributors such as Zinio should make an effort to bypass Apple's silly regulations. I am sure that if they provide iOS users with a free copy (maybe don't make it super high quality, password protect it, I don't know) of adult-magazines they would prevent users from ditching their subscription and go for illegal pdf copies...

  • Zinio Reader App Content Restrictions in Place

    Just a heads up to anyone looking forward to buying an iPad and enjoying e-magazines in their Zinio library, including adult ones, with the Zinio reader app.
    I use Zinio on my computer and enjoy e-magazine delivery, both for general as well as adult magazines. I was quite excited that an app for the iPad was announced quite quickly.
    This is my first Apple product in quite some time, and I did realize Apple does not allow adult-oriented apps per se. That said, I wrongly assumed a magazine app such as Zinio that works on subscription material from the provider would work regardless, as the app is just a magazine reader - you decide what content goes on it (a lot like PDF's in my mind).
    Unfortunately, it seems Apple has restricted the Zinio content in your library you can see to general magazines; any adult titles simply don't show up. Further research on the Zinio sites leads to a FAQ indicating that Apple indeed is currently not allowing adult magazines to be used on iPad.
    Obviously I'm disappointed by this and hope Apple changes their stance on it (as I guess Kindle titles are not filtered in this same manner, granted being adult but text only).
    At any rate, just thought I'd post this in case anyone is hoping to have their whole magazine library available. Not possibe yet. (And the online reader is flash based, so that's out also).

  • Today I downloaded a book reader app then downloaded one free and one purchased book to listen to on my Ipod Nano. Initially Ok, then a mess, now missing. Any ideas?

    After downloading the app was there, the books were there, but nothing would play, not even the music. I re-searched the computer for music and now there is no Books tab and no books. There are duplicate music files and they all play. What a mess! Anyone know what's up?

    What book reader app? There are no apps for the iPod Nano...

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Why has my purchased music gone missing

    Hi i recently synced my iphone 4 and realised that most of my music has gone missing. After usiing itunes the same day I was trying to play tracks in my library and got a message saying orignal file could not be found. As I looked through the list of tracks I could not play I realised it was all the music I had purchased from itunes that was unable to be played. I do use a shared computer so I cannot say if any changes were made but have been sharing the computer for 2 years now and nothing like this has happened before.

    Delete the songs and redownload them:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201272 App I purchased now missing from AppStore.

    In September of 2011, I purchased Screen Record Pro from the App store for $4.99. It is still on my desktop and I love it. I just got a new MacBook Air and I was disappointed to see that app missing from my purchase history. How can I get this app again?
    - N

    If the developer no longer sales the app through the Mac App Store there is no way to get the app by way of Apple. Apple constantly encourages everyone to back up their content.

  • After restoring my device from backup, some of the apps I have purchased are missing in the purchase list

    Hi,
    i have backed up my device on iCloud and my computer.
    After restoring my device from backup, some of the apps I have purchased are missing in the purchase list.
    It seems that i need to pay for them again in order to purchase.
    Can you please help?
    Thanks,
    Shirley

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you checked they are still available in the App store.
    Did you purchase them all from the same account.

  • TS1702 I have purchased a magazine through Zinio from the app store and my account has been charged, however, there is no magazine in my library and the new edition has been published

    Oh gosh, I saw the same issue. Because i was messing around with something earlier. I don't know why Apple took off the option of "none" as a payment since not everyone puts in a credit card and people use iTunes gift cards. I think they just made that changed recently. Anyways, Ive just found out about this new issue also, so i don't know what you could do... maybe call apple support?

  • I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone

    I accidentally pressed the "x" button in the "Purchases" tab and now my Lion App is gone from the purchases tab.

    It's still accessible. All you've really done is hidden the app. To restore it to the list, go to "Featured" in the Mac Store menu bar and then click "Account" in the side bar on the right, under "Quick Links". The Account Information page will have three sections. The middle section is "iTunes in the Cloud." In that section, you will see "Hidden Purchases: You have hidden X items" and to the right of that bit of text, you will see a clickable link labeled "View Hidden Purchases". Go ahead and click that link. Any apps that you have hidden, deliberately or otherwise, will be listed there. To unhide an app, click the "Unhide button" to the far right of the app's name.
    Yea, it can be disconcerting to see an app disappear unintentionally. Apple might want to consider a menu button for viewing hidden purchases.

  • App Store app has gone missing.

    The App Store icon has gone missing from my daughter's iPad.  I have searched all the screens.  Cannot find spotlight as some help sites say to look for.
    How do I get it back.  Does it have anything to do with accessibility?  I am so baffled at how it has happened. Please guide me

  • In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    The application auto-saves your input when you close the document.  If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible).  Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
    Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

  • I lost a book that was purchased in my ASA Reader app

    I am using an App called ASA Reader from the App Store. I also have my settings set to back up this app to iCloud. I had only one book purchased in this reader App and assumed it was stored in iCloud. This week I installed the new iOS7 and had a problem;  but before attempting the install I made sure I ran my iCloud backup. The problem I had required me to erase my IPAD completely. I ran through the procedure to erase the IPAD and then launch iOS7 again - it all  went smoothly without a hitch. I then restored everything that was on my iCloud. It turns out that all my programs and content for the programs restored correctly - EXCEPT, this one book in my ASA Reader. Any idea what happened?  It looks like I have  lost that book

    You would probably have to contact the ASA Reader app developer to ask them how they store their data in iCloud, and whether or not it is app data that is stored in the backup or just synced with your iCloud account.  If it's stored as app data in the backup, you may need to restore your iCloud backup to recover it.

  • My apple id is gone missing!!

    My apple id is gone missing!! I can't reset, nothing!! I've been trying to resolve this issue and it seems apple does not even have a trace of my id which I've used to purchase various apps, songs, movies for many years now!!  I'm perplexed and disappointed and have questions about the security of our accounts..

    Change the passwords for all accounts used on both iPods.

  • Ipod touch missing: how to block apps store

    My ipod touch has gone missing, probably stolen. Mobileme is activated but can't locate it.
    I've only ever bought one app from the apps store and I can't remember if you have to enter a password to buy apps. Is it possible for the person who has it to buy apps using my account on the ipod?

    Yu need to enter you iTunes password to buy apps.  If you purchase more apps within ten minute or so after entering your password you will not have to enter it again (your password is still valid for ten minutes).  However, you should still change the password for all accounts used on the iPod.
