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.
Cheers,

  • Can't upgrade iPhone apps because store says they are "no longer available"

    I checked for application updates for my iPhone in iTunes and a couple apps show up, but when I click "Download All Free Updates" iTunes gives an error: "the item you tried to buy is no longer available"
    This makes no sense -- I tracked it down to two apps, "Feeds" and "SysMon" but here is what is weird. Both of those apps show new versions in the app store just by manually searching for them, there are clearly new versions in the store, and iTunes is telling me this, but I can't download them. Has anyone else seen this when trying to update applications?

    Have you tried clicking the update buttons on each app separately? I have occasionally gotten some weird errors when using the "all available updates" button.

  • I have an iPad 2 but I just bought an iPad 4.  I tried to download apps that I have on my iPad 2 to my iPad 4 but it says they are no longer available.  How do I get my cloud to download to my new iPad?

    Trying to download apps to my new iPad 4 but it says app is no longer available.  I have an iPad 2 that the apps are on but would like to have same apps on my new iPad

    That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

  • My apps say they are "waiting" and they have been for days updating.  They must be stuck.  Not all of them but about 10 that ia am waiting on.  Does anyone know what do do about this?

    Just to add a couple of more things that you can try ... Along with what TMM suggested ....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    You can also try updating from the app description page rather than the Updates Tab. Do a search for the apps that needs to be updated - when it appears in the search - tap on the app icon. Then tap on Update or Install - whatever happens to appear next to the app icon - in the description page that pops up.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.

  • HT1454 I have the correct cable but my purchased movies say they are unable to play on my smart TV and they need to be unlocked.  Can anyone advise please?  Thanks,

    It's possible that the DRM (digital rights management) disallows you to port those movies onto a TV. What app are you using? Some apps are 'ipad only' and will not push out to another screen.

  • My purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device.

    I'm not sure what I've done but my purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device. They can only be found on Itunes under 'library/tv shows' and 'apple tv/tv shows'. How can I transfer the shows back onto my Apple TV and then erase the files from itunes? Once accomplished, how can I prevent my Apple TV purchses from syncing with my itunes (to save space on itunes, I prefer not to sync purchases from apple tv).
    Thank you in advance for any advice!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You haven't done anything wrong, this is the way it is supposed to work. You cannot sync the content back to the Apple TV and then erase it from iTunes because the Apple TV mirrors iTunes, and if it is deleted from iTunes it will also then get deleted from the Apple TV.
    You might also see this, however I strongly recommend against it.

  • How to get back purchased music when computers are no longer available...

    We were hit by lightning, again, and lost my wife's Bondi iMac. Those of you who know them realize that they didn't come with CD burners...so we didn't back up her music purchases. In addition, I recently lost my job. The music I purchased on my work computer was purged while I was getting my pink slip. So, I was unable to back it up as well.
    So, we have a handful of songs that we purchased on other computers that are no longer available to us. I emailed Apple a couple weeks ago and have not received any answer on how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

    You have posted on the iTunes for Windows forum
    If you have tracks on an iPod then this post which covers macs as well may help:

    I am afraid Apple has a download once policy, but you have done the right thing contacting them as I understand they they will occasionally make an exception in special circumstances and allow another download.
    Here is a link to an iTunes store contact page, but I expect you have that already:

  • HT201272 I have a bunch of songs that show up under purchased and say they are downloaded but when I try to play them in my itunes it says they can't be located.  How do I get them back so they work?

    I have a bunch of songs that show up under my purchased list and they say they are downloaded.  But when I try to play them in itunes it says it can't locate them.  How do I correct this?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    Select the songs and go to Edit > Delete. Then, download the music in iTunes Store

  • Does Apple have a way to manage iTunes accounts on Corporate owned devices, meaning if someone leaves the company how does the company access the purchase apps as they are the owner of them.

    Does Apple have a way to manage iTunes accounts on Corporate owned devices?  So, if someone leaves the Corp. how would the company have access to all purchased apps for any device.

    If the apps were purchased using a corporate iTunes account, someone at the company should have the password. If they were purchased under a user's iTunes account, even though the device was owned by the company, the apps are tied to the user's Apple ID and do not belong to the company.

  • CC Desktop reports all apps up to date, but Indvidual apps say they are not?

    While I have the Creative Cloud desktop application open and connected I will get Windows Tray notifications from Individual Adobe applications telling there "Updates ready to Apply."
    THe creative Cloud desktop app shows that all installed applications are 'up to date'.
    Below is a screen clip of the desktop app showing all up to date and a open Acrobat 11 dialog saying updates are ready to install.
    The Acrobat 11 dialog opened immediately after the Desktop application displayed the installed application statuses.
    So are all the updates the Desktop application downloading getting applied? Or are they getting applied twice?

    Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, lett AAM reinstall the apps, then try to run the updates again.

  • Can iCloud restore a purchased app if it's no longer in the store? (Which makes it pretty unreliable / useless as a true backup)

    The info I've found on iCloud backup of apps, says only the "purchase history" is backed up (not purchased apps themselves).
    Previously purchased apps aren't available for restore if the store no longer lists the app.   This makes iCloud pretty useless (IMHO)
    as a "backup", since at any time you can lose your "backup", and become totally vulnerable to loss, if the app is discontinued in the store
    (no longer available).   This means that (in order to have a reliable backup) I must BACKUP BY HAND EVERY SINGLE APP (TO ITUNES)!
    This makes iCloud "backup" pretty meaningless (except maybe as a slight convenience for apps that are still available - admittedly most,
    but your favorite app may "disappear from the store" at any time).
    Am I correct in my understanding?  Is backing up to my iTunes app library the only reliable alternative?
    NOTE TO APPLE:  why can't you archive apps that have EVER been listed on the store, so app purchases can
    be restored easily, even when the store no longer carries them?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the clarification.  I sort of understood how to do that.  My complaint is that HAVING to do that makes iCloud pretty meaningless.  Even worse is the possibility that users will RELY ON ICLOUD, and perhaps find someday that they can't get an app restored from iCloud because it's no longer in the store.
    If you work for Apple, could you please pass along my suggestion to enable iCloud to restore previous purchases even when they are no longer available on the store -- this doesn't seem that difficult, and it would make the iCloud app backup a lot more meaningful (IMHO).  Thanks!

  • Got the Trojan.Zbot before the antivirus kicked in. All previous emails show that they are there but can't see the contents. Can they be restored?

    All old emails are showing that they are there but there are no contents when you try to open them.

    right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. A new index will be generated which may fix the issue or make the empty mails disappear because they are no longer available to be indexed.
    BTW look in your anti virus program for quarantined files with names like inbox
