TS1702 What happens when an app is no longer available in App Store?

Since joining iTunes I have download two apps that are no longer available. One I paid for and the other for free, I still have the one I paid for on my iTunes which I can put back on through my computer; but the new app that was free just was taken down (I think you guys know what app I'm talking about). I'm afraid to delete it and connect it to my computer because I don't want it deleted forever. What will happen?

If an app is no longer available in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it. If you connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it will be copied over and you can take a backup copy of it. If you have 'automatic syncing' then you may want to turn that 'off' via the Devices tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) on your computer's iTunes

What happens when a new cc version is available

I am currently building a case as to why my employer should more to Adobe CC, however they have a few questions:
1. When a new version of CC is available is it automatically downloaded and installed, or is there a choice to not upgrade?
2. What happen when features get dropped in the new CC upgrades? for example TLF text in Flash is not supported in CC, so those working files would not longer be compatible.
Thanks in advance for your reply

1. There is a notification for update, and you have a choice to update or not to update.
2. Usually new major versions are installed as separate apps, so you can get the new version and keep the old one for working with files that may not be compatible with the new version. Or if you need only the new version, you can uninstall the old one. For example when 2014 version Photoshop CC was released and if you chose to update, the update process left the old version installed.

What happens to my App Store credit if I switch Apple ID email?

Hi. I currently have ~$30 in my App Store account. If I go to appleid.com and switch my Apple ID to a different email, and thus change App Store/iTunes login, will the credit transfer over to the new account?
For example, I have $30 in [email protected] I use this email to log into my AppleId and then I change my email to y123. When I log into [email protected] in my App Store, will the $30 be there or will it still b

If you log into your account and update the primary email address on it then neither your balance nor your previous purchases should be affected, both should be intact after the update.

Whats happening to the app store?

I can't stand it anymore! After upgrading my new iPad to iOS 6 the App Store is really slow, takes too long to load and its all buggy, sometimes I touch an app and it opens another, like the touch is locked in that place and wherever I touch it opens that app... Also, scrolling is awful, not only on the App Store but n other apps too, I don't know if its only happening to me but I'm starting to get angry with this, already restored 3 times And it didn't solve it...

Same problem here - dowloaded from App store three times - three re-starts and still no sign of 10.10.2, furthermore the installer is not showing in the Applications folder!
Fix!!
I have just downloaded the 10.10.2 update (for 10.10.1) from the Apple site, so I expect that the App store will now stop reminding me that there are updates to install!!

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if the restriction that hides the App store/prevent purchases is set.

What happened to my app store

I don't think my app store is updating. The " new" sections still show 1 or 2 April as the latest apps. I am able to look up apps on appshopper.com then search for them and they appear though.
Anyone else having issues with the app store on the iPad itself?

How to control what happens when an app crashes?

I can't for the life of me remember where the setting is for telling MacOS X to display a dialog asking if you want to Relaunch, Reset, Ignore etc.
Anyone? Thanks, people.

smithrj,
Don't think I communicated my question well enough: I know how to crash an app. What I don't remember is where I find the setting which changes the OS's behavior, once an app's crashed. By default, an OS X installation prompts the user with a dialog, to the effect: "Application Safari has unexpectedly crashed. Do you want to Relaunch, File a report, Ignore?"
But I have changed this behavior to permanently Ignore. Now, where was the setting? Thanks.

What happens to my apps when I switch iCloud accounts on my phone?

I'm trying to switch the iCloud accounts from an old one that's acting up to a new one that I've created. When I started to, though, I got worried because it said something about Documents as I tried to delete the iCloud account that was already there.
When you change the iCloud acconts on your phone, what happens to your apps?
1.Are they all deleted?
2. If not, do they just stay and never get updated, or do they all reset?
3. Is there any way I can transfer the purchases to my new iCloud so that I don't have to buy them again?

Depends upon what you mean by change.
If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

Did you do a restore from iTune or iCloud backup recently?

What happens when the iphone app won't open on iphone 4?

what happens when the phone does not open and automatically shuts down the phone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

What happens when Time Machine starts to fill up a drive?

Using Time Machine on a partitioned External HD has been an absolute snap! I love the app. My main disappointment with it is that it has no literature on HOW it works, and no real ways for me to set different controls for it other than on and off.
My question is that what happens when a drive starts to get full? I have about 30 gigs left on the partition, and I am wondering what Time Machine is going to do. Does it just delete the oldest material, or does it simply fill up and tell me to look at everything on there and decide to clear it all off. I hate that I don't know what will happen.
-Jon

From what I've read (I've not gotten a drive full so I can't speak from experience), when the TM drive gets full, it will notify you that it's going to start deleting the oldest backups to make space for the new ones. This general behavior is mentioned in the Mac Help for Time Machine, though it makes no mention about notifying you before it deletes the old backups, so I'm not sure about that part.

After upgrading what happens to the apps on my 3G?

I just received my iPhone 4 and put my backup from my iPhone 3G on. It works fine, and there is no more AT&T service on my iPhone 3G. I intend to use the 3G as an iPod Touch. I understand the SIM card needs to stay in the phone for this, even though it is not activated with AT&T.
What happens to the apps that are still on my 3G? They are still working. I assume they will stay there until I need to sync. Then I will have to set up a new iTunes account, under a unique computer user name, for the 3G and buy the apps all over again for the 3G.

Nope, the apps stay there until you delete them.
I currently sync 2 iPhones and 2 iPod Touch units all to one iTunes store account, and per the Apple licensing, they all can run apps I have purchased. I had a similar question as you when I first started using multiple devices, so I sent an email to the app author for the app I wanted most to do this with. His response was that this is Apple's terms, so if I didn't want to purchase a second license to use his app on a second device, then I didn't need to (but he wouldn't stop me if I wanted to either). In the end, I found this app author to be very dedicated to his app, and very responsive to my comments/requests, so I did purchase a second copy of his app (yes, I had my wife create an iTunes account and purchase it under her account).

What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine. Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great. At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option. My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps? Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone? Or does it get deleted?

Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.

HT201342 What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...
