TS1702 The app game that I bought for iphone is not available in the itunes store anymore. How can I get it back on my iphone 4

The app game that I bought for iphone is not available in the itunes store anymore. How can I get it back on my iphone 4

If it's no longer in the store then you won't be able to re-download it - do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes (or on a backup) that you could sync back to your phone ?

I want to buy the movie Crazy Stupid Love but it is not available in the US, only in the UK. I live in the US but is it possible to switch the itunes store so that I can buy that movie?

I want to buy the movie Crazy Stupid Love but it is not available in the US, only in the UK. I live in the US but is it possible to switch the itunes store so that I can buy that movie?

It used to be in the US iTunes Store as that's where I purchased it. Often the studios will temporarily pull a movie from the store during times the movie is scheduled to be shown on TV or cable TV as the TV network has been granted exclusive access during the period. It will return to the store later.

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.

Hi,
I'm not able to access the term store. I get an below mentioned error.
"The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator. "
Since this is happening on my local machine (Dev environment). I have full control on the term store and the all the site collections.
Hence, this is not a permission issue.
I have checked, the Metadata service is active on the machine. All the application pools in IIS is running.
After reading one of the recommendation on internet, I created a new Managed Metadata Service.
After which I was able access both (old and new) MMS from Central Admin only (highlight the MMS from manage service applications and click Manage ) and not from the site collection (term store management).
Now again its not working after I did an IISRESET.
The managed metadata service (Managed Metadata Service Connection) is grayed out.
ULS Error says:
Failed to create ManageLink for service proxy 'Managed Metadata Service'. Exception: System.TimeoutException: The request channel timed out attempting to send after 00:00:09.9999999. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout

Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for your reply
I tried making all the changes you had recommended and which are mentioned in the link you have provided.
I tried making all possible combination of changes to the web.config and client.config files but it does not make any difference to the environment.
One thing is that, my error in ULS logs has changed.

I am trying to install photoshop elements from the shop bought card. After I put in redemption code the yellow line came up with "redemption is not available at the moment". What do I do? Please help! Many thanks

I am trying to install photoshop elements from the shop bought card. After I put in redemption code the yellow line came up with "redemption is not available at the moment". What do I do? Please help! Many thanks

There's been a few of these today. I think there must be a problem with the redemption server and you probably just need to wait a while and try again.

Is anyone else having problems with Candy Crush Saga blinking out and not allowing you to ask friends for help in moving to another level in the game? If so, how do I fix it"

I have been playing Candy Crush Saga for a long time, all of a sudden it is blanking out when I ask friends for help to the next level. What can I do to remedy this?

Hello Pepper 46,
It sounds like an app you installed is not functioning correctly. I recommend starting with these steps from the article named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
There is additional troubleshooting in the article if this doesn't resolve it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Upgraded to yosemite and cannot open iphoto. It says I need to update the latest version and then says it is not available in the Australian store?

Upgraded to yosemite and cannot open iphoto. Its say i need to upgrade the latest version but it is not available in the Australian store?

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

I have several albums in my library that do not show the album artwork. It states it is not available in the iTunes store. In the past I could copy and past album artwork.

I have Windows 7 on my laptop and the latest version of iTunes. I have several albums in my library that do not show the album artwork. iTunes states that it is not available, even though the album is available on iTunes. In the past, I could copy album artwork and then paste it on my albums in iTunes. In the lates version of iTunes, a past option does not seem to be available.

JPGronek,
There are 3 ways to get custom art into the Artwork box:
copy/paste
drag-n-drop
Add from a file location.
In various iTunes releases, it is common that one of the the three is broken. Try one of the others.

Candy Crush icon has greyed out preventing opening of the game

I have been playing the game - Candy Crush Saga - on my iPad2 for the last over 5 months without any problems. Suddenly about 10 days ago the icon which is touched to open the game got greyed out (dimmed) with the words, "Waiting..." below it. Now I am unable to open the game as nothing happens when the icon is touched. The icon cannot be deleted, i. e., the game uninstalled. Trying to reinstall the game from Apple Store is also not possible since the status is shown as "OPEN" not "INSTALL". What has caused the problem and how do I resolve it, please?

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

I keep getting this pop up that says why you no play candy crush is this a virus?

I keep getting this pop up that says why you no play candy crush is this a virus? How do I get rid of it? It has an option to click on cancel or ok. I keep clicking cancel.

That's not what it is. I have just started getting the exact same pop-up, and I am using a 5th gen. iPod Touch. It can't receive carrier messages, being that it only has WiFi access to the internet.
What is happening to me is this: I start playing the TicBits "Sudoku " app. A couple of minutes into the game, the app starts getting sluggish, and cannot keep up with my fingers... I touch the screen, and it takes longer and longer for the game to respond to my touches while trying to fill in the numbers in the sudoku puzzle. Eventually, this stupid pop-up interrupts. If I hit cancel, it might pop up two or three more time in a row. If I hit OK, it pulls up the app store (I have just immediately hit the home button and restarted the sudoku game up to this point, but I will try to remember to let it take me all the way to the app it is trying to sell next time so I can report back, but I assume it's going to try to get me to download Candy Crush Saga).
I do not have Candy Crush installed nor do I want to install it). I am worried that this is some kind of malicious software, given how badly it affects the Sudoku app. I don't have any interesting information on my iPod Touch for a virus to steal other than the password to my Apple ID when I need to use the App Store or iTunes.
I have turned off Alerts for all apps other than Clock and Caendar, as I need those for appointment and alarm reminders. Nothing else should be allowed to use these alert pop-ups.

How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

The only way to synchronize is connecting to FaceBook. I just set up my girl friend's iPhone to connect with FaceBook, which then updated the phone's level; then I downloaded the app (again) on her iPad and selected connect to Facebook. I'm not sure what the downfall of synchronizing through FaceBook is.... all I can tell you is it worked and now her iPad shows the same level as her iPhone. Good luck!

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available.

I've been trying to create new Managed Metadata services but get this error when trying to manage them:
The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.
I've checked that the application pool that the Metadata service uses is running and that the account it's running under is in the farm administrators group. I've checked that the WCF hotfix is applied on the system by re-downloading KB971831 (I have Windows 2K8 SP2) and trying to run it again but it says it doesn't apply to my system (as I had installed it before installing SharePOint)
I'm not sure what else to do - can anyone give any pointers?
Thanks

I've got the default one working again now, the new one "TM Metadata" has been added but shows the same error on the management page.
I have some info from the logs:

UPDATE : I've just gone back to IIS to check the pools and it looks like adding the 2nd metadata store has knocked out the app pool that the SecurityTokenService runs in.

Why is the game Candy Crush Saga, a free game, not available in the South Africa store?
