Why Apple delete programs you payed for?

I'm a honest app store customer. And why apple has rights to remove apps form app store? I paid for some apps, that not available any more. That's stealing! I have same problem with iOS and Mac OS apps. For example, they removed Growl 1.3. Now I have to pay for 2.0. But I'm fine with 1.3.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Apple constantly reminds everyone to backup their purchases because anything can disappear from the app stores and other content stores at any moment. If you fail to do so, the problem lies with you. It isn't stealling, it's capitalism.
Apple only controls its own apps in the stores. Apple folows the direction of the other content owners for the stores, When Growl's developers ctreated the next major paid upgrade to their app, Apple removes the old version and replaces it with the new version.

  • Loading A program after you pay for it

    I bought and paid for pdf to word program and I will be damn if I can find out how to load it

    Hi,
    You pay for an annual subscription. You will be charged again on renewal date. You can of course unsubscribe.
    If you unsubscribe, You will continue to benefit from updated tracks you have downloaded but you lose the ability to add or download tracks in the future. Essentially you will be back in same position per imatch except you will have upgraded tracks.

  • Why do I have to pay for free aps?

    Why do I have to pay for free ads. I look in my bank
    Statements and says they charge like 3 dollars but the ad
    Says free. This isnt right nor is it fair I already paid 300
    For the itouch why charge me for the free aps. It's not like I
    Don't buy things from the ap store. No I don't not download
    Pro -aps.

    The price of an app, and how it is marketed, is controlled by that app's developer. They certainly may advertise that an app is free, but the App Store price is the only price. If the App Store says the app is free (ie, the download button says "Free" instead of listing a price), then it's free.
    If you are seeing a bill in your bank statement for a free app, that is probably coming from some kind of in-app purchase. Many apps have additional features or special game items that can be purchased within the app. A free app may still have such in-app purchases.
    It's important to note that in-app purchasing should be a very transparent process. It should be made clear that you are making a purchase, and you should have to enter your Apple ID password. If you have found an app that does not make this process transparent, and hides the fact that a purchase with real money is being made, that needs to be reported to Apple as a violation of the App Store rules. If Apple agrees with you, they will remove the app from the store until the developer submits a more compliant update.

  • Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    That's up to the seller of the app. Many, but not all, apps will work on both the iPhone and iPad. For those apps that do you only need to pay for them once, as long as they were purchased with the same Apple ID. But app developers have the option of selling separate versions of their app for iPhone and iPad. For those apps you have to pay for them for each platform.

    We have three iPhones but one Apple ID because I pay for the acct whenever we buy Apps or music.  However, it's frustrating that when we share iCloud it merges our notes and contacts even if we say "DO NOT MERGE."  I've also lost my notes but could not recover them even if I did a restore.

    You can share the same iTunes ID on all your devices and still have different iCloud accounts with different IDs on them.  The ID you use for iTunes does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
    If you want to migrate your devices to separate accounts, on the devices that will be moving save any photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.  Also email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account.  Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, go to the iWork app settings and turn off iCloud syncing.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Once the phones are all on separate accounts you can  then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

  • Why do I have to pay for iPages when I already have it on my computer?

    My iCloud home page shows five icons including iWork. When I click on the iWork icon I am shown a link that takes me to the iTunes store where I am asked to pay $9.99 for each of the iWork components. I already have these installed on my iMac. Why do I have to pay for them again?

    Different operating systems. Your iMac runs OS X and the iWork
    applications you have on your iMac are written for OS X. On your
    iDevice, the operating system is iOS and you would need a version
    of the apps written for that. If you are not planninig to use the apps
    on your iDevice (iPhone, iPad, some iPods), you do not need to
    buy them. Having the apps on your iDevices provides instant
    syncing of documents across the iDevices using iCloud. iCloud
    does not provide Google App-like operation if that is what you are
    seeking. If this does not answer your question, perhaps someone
    else will chime in.

  • I currently have the 55 gb of ICloud space that I'm using mostly for e-mail. ICloud has sent out a note that I will be downgraded to 5 gb. Is ICloud stating that there will no longer be an upgrade to 50 gb even if you pay for it?

    I currently have the 55 gb of ICloud space that I'm using mostly for e-mail. ICloud has sent out a note that I will be downgraded to 5 gb. Is ICloud stating that there will no longer be an upgrade to 50 gb even if you pay for it?

    I wouldn't think so. Everyone who migrated from a MobileMe account got an extra 20GB free until 30 Sept, and the emails now being sent out presumably go to everyone regardless of any subsequent storage purchase. As you've paid for 50GB this should be unaffected (but I should keep an eye on it!). If you have any uncertainty about what is going on you should contact Suppport at http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/

    Is there a software program you recommend for saving a DVD on your computer? I guess a nonApple software program is required to do that.

    I need to submit my personal video on YouTube as part as a college admissions process. Since the DVD has other videos on it, I need to edit (delete) other parts of video so only the video I want is saved. In the selected video, I also want to delete a few second off the beginning and end.

    How do you pay for apps using an iTunes gift card.  I have money on a gift card but only my credit card shows up as method of payment.
