What happened to Aurora Feint? It's gone!

What happened to Aurora Feint? It accidentally got deleted when I tried syncing my iPhone with iTunes. Now, when I try to reinstall it, iTunes says it is no longer available. No explanation. And no more website either. It was a hugely popular free game that had a lot of buzz.
Now it has disappeared? I am so disappointed. I wonder what gives?

Nothing was ever saved on the server in the first place - so there was nothing for a hacker to steal. The only time data was vulnerable was during the transport, when it could have been susceptible to a packet sniffer, and we already know that this did not happen. No personal data was compromised.
In any event, Apple has put the updated game back up on the app store, and is endorsing it in their "What We're Playing" section. The devs sent out an annoucement on their forum, and I've copied part of it here:
"Now, here's some even cooler news. We've heard you guys loud and clear. We are removing contact list integration from Aurora Feint. Early next week we're going to put out another update which will use a system similar to Nintendo's friend codes but less of a hassle. So, once we get that out, there will be no personal data pulled from your phone at all.
In the mean time, remember these things:
1) We do not pull data from your contact list before notifying you. There is now a notification in-game when this is done. And it is only done on the community page by YOU pressing the submit button.
2) We never store your contact list on our web server.
3) All data sent over the wire is now completely encrypted.
4) No contact data is saved on your phone's hard drive anymore. This has been removed.
Thank you all for your tremendous support. Danielle and I are so excited that we can bring AF back to you with Apple's stamp of approval. We hope you enjoy the fixes and new content we've put in this version of the game."
You can find the full announcement w/ release notes at http://aurorafeint.proboards100.com/index.cgi?board=world&action=display&thread= 369&page=1#3940.
In the meantime, yes I downloaded the new version as soon as I heard it was up - and it's so much better! A lot of bugs were fixed, and I highly encourage everyone to try it out at least once. You don't have to use the online feature at all if you don't want to. Have fun!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

  • What happened to Aurora? It suddenly became Firefox Developer Edition on my computer. My bookmarks and addons all disappeared.

    I think Aurora updated before I turned off my computer. When I booted up again, Firefox Developer Edition appeared in place of Aurora. My bookmarks and addons all disappeared.

  • I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened?  Don't know what to do.  How can I get pictures back in my albums?

    I put all my photos int albums.  Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them.  When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone.  What happened?  All  of my pictures gone?  I need help...

    Hi saginrsf,
    Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
    Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

  • I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

    I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened?

    This is very upsetting.  ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened, and how can I get them back?

    Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
    Try rebuilding the library.

  • I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone I need to enable. Thanks.

    Question
    I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone and I think I need to enable. I can't log on to Citibank to pay my bills using Firefox or Safari for that matter. Citibank says cookies must be enabled to access their on-line bank. I wonder if this is the problem...cookies that is?

    Yes, I found the cookies, and thanks for taking the time to help out. I called Citibank. They told me that they will not support Firefox or Safari for Mac because our user group is too small for them and the expense too high. The person that I spoke to said in the past, Firefox has worked with Citi, but that was just by accident. At the moment they have no plans to help Mac people using the latest OS log onto their website or enable programs like my Quicken or Mint.com to access. They don't work anymore either. I think all the problems happened after the last OS update.

  • I just updated my iTunes and now ALL of my music is gone what happened and how do I fix it ASAP?

    Litterly 15 Mins ago all of my music was present. I - in fact - just finished using it to play a song. Then I got a window that popped up saying that my iTunes is in need of an update. So I update it then it said it was all up to snuff...
    So I go back into my iTunes to continue using it
    but now It's ALL GONE!!!!
    what happened and how to I fix it ASAP???
    ---because this is like 80g's of music man, I spent Months - MONTHS ripping all my cd's and formating EVERYTHING NICELY into iTunes just to have the work poof disapear?
    come on!

    But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
    However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
    if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
    "Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
    something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

  • After connecting my iPhone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone, my pages application is now gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back?

    After connecting my iphone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone yesterday, my Pages application is gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back? Its not in my trash or anywhere else.

    The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
    Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
    Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
    Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
    They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
    Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

  • What happened to my  GB 5.1? Suddenly features are gone- didn't upgrade!!!

    What happened to my  GB 5.1? Suddenly features are gone, like reverb, compression, etc, for each track. I didn't download or upgrade. What happened?
    How, why? Can I get it back?   I've relied on simple use for years.
    How could apple change my program without me permitting anything? Was it part of Safari update? If so, that is very slimy and unfair... Not ethical.....
    How do I get back the features I've been relying on for 5.1?       Cutting those things out of 5.1 as a way to make us upgrade to 10 isn't right. Its not as if I was using Apple Support for 5.1..... This doesn't seem Apple like, at least with original ethics and values.  
    David

    I am having the same issue.  I had a 5.0.2 version (I think) of Safari on a Windows Vista machine which worked with my XmlHttpRequest() just fine.  Then I upgraded now on 5.1.5 and now my initial command (which returns just text) no longer works.  Has anyone else seen this.  The same is true for my Safari browsers in the iPhone and iPad.
    I have another application which uses the same interface just returns comma delimited data and it works just fine.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks

  • What happened to my iCloud documents? They were there yesterday but gone today.

    I opened pages to get my school work and my iCloud folders were empty. The I signed into iCloud and when I clicked pages it said I had to sign up for iCloud Drive, which is only compatible with Yosemite.
    I need my files. I saved them in the cloud for protection and now they are gone.

    2.7 GHz Intel Corei5

    OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

    Monte, did you enable iCloud Drive on an iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS8? Or what happened?
    In MacOSX 10.9.4 your Pages documents should be stored in your user Library folder. Click your Desktop to bring the Finder forward, then use the "Go" menu in the Finder. Hold down the options key (or alt key),while you select "GO", until you see "Library in the drop down menu. Open the "Library " folder.
    In the Library window  navigate to the folder "Application Support", and inside this folder to "MobileSync". Here you should find subfolder for "Pages" etc.
    If the MobileSync folder should be missing, or you are seeing documents with "loading" bars, restore this folder from your Time Machine backup.

    "How do you like your 7D?"
    Westy,
    In my opinion the 7D is the 'best buy' in a professional level DSLR out there. The pro level featuers are many and the downsides are few.
    If you couple the Canon 7D with the Sigma APO 50-150mm f/2.8 II EX DC HSM, you truly do have a fantastic set-up at the most value considered, reasonable, price.

  • What happened to my menu bar? It's gone.

    ''locking a a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/813068''
    Firefox shows up on my dock and when I open it there is no menu bar or tool bar. What happened to them? Where are they?

    Yes, they made it able to start a "private Window"...
    But does it WORK?
    I noticed that in v20, Firefox send cookies that were set before the "private Window" was opened.
    This means NO PRIVACY !!!
    A site you visit in your "New Private Window" will ID you by the cookies it has set in the past.
    Privacy is gone... bye bye ...
    Of course one can manually delete the cookies for a certain domain.... but why would i want to go through all this work...
    I hope it's fixed.
    And if it's not fixed.. it will be bye bye Firefox ... terrible choice.
