I bought Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English app ($29.99) from Apple Turkish AppStore. Now I can't download it because it doesn't exist anymore.
I need help about this problem!..

Hello,
The LDOCE was temporarily removed from the app store due to need of new security updates in the application.
It will appear again in the app store when patches are implemented. It should take not more then 2 weeks.
We are really sorry for this inconvienience.
Regards,
Andrzej Grudniak

I normally sync to the iCloud. I don't think this is fair since I bought it less than a year and Apple also offer the cloud sync. Does that mean it is gone forever? then I won't buy any app again. 😠
Apple reminds every user whenever they purchase content, that the users are responsible to make their own backup of the content because there is no guarantee that the content will always be available in the iTunes or Mac App Stores.
Try redownloading the app from the Purchased section of the App Store or if you have a copy saved into iTunes you could just sync it again.
See this Apple doc for more info -> Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
First of all, I thank you for your answer.
That app also doesn't exist in 'Purchased' section.
I have '.ipa' file of that app but, everytime I try to install, it is unsuccessful.
It is also removed from Thai Store. This app is not cheap. This ***** What can I do now?
Check the computer you normally sync with. Apps are stored there in iTunes and you should be able to transfer the app from iTunes onto your iPad.
yes me too. What is wrong with it?
It appears to have been removed from the iTunes Store in all countries, not just Turkey. You would have to ask Longman why it was removed, since it would have been by their choice. Since it is no longer available in the iTunes Store, you will have to have a backup copy.
Regards.
Dear 'Dah veed', I have a backup and 'Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE) ipa file' but, when I try to install it can't install Longman Dictionary.
Maybe Apple can remove an app from AppStore but, it must be possible to download it from 'cloud'. LDOCE has been removed not only from AppStore but also from iCloud.
I own at least one Apple device since 2007 and I tried all written above.
Also, LDOCE app had released by Enfour Inc. not by Pearson. I contacted with them and they replied by e-mail. They said that they were experiencing some issues with their account. I'm still waiting them to activate their account for a week.
Regards.
when I try to install it can't install Longman Dictionary.
How are you trying to install it, and what happens when you try?
Maybe Apple can remove an app from AppStore but, it must be possible to download it from 'cloud'. LDOCE has been removed not only from AppStore but also from iCloud.
No. If it's removed from the App Store, it's gone. Only if you have a backup somewhere can you get it back. iCloud is not separate from the App Store when it comes to redownloading purchased content.
LDOCE app had released by Enfour Inc. not by Pearson.
The LDOCE and other Longman dictionaries are owned by Pearson, as you'll see if you look at the other apps in the App Store. Enfour may have done the development for Pearson and partnered with Enfour, or the title may have been released under the Enfor name in some countries.
Regardless, whoever owns the app has pulled it from the App Store. If you don't have a working backup copy, then your only recourse will be to contact Pearson/Enfour and ask if the app will ever be returning.
Regards.
I have a backup. Everytime I tried to re-install, at the end of the installation progress, it is not successful.
Also, Pearson wrote to me that they had not released an app called LDOCE.
Again, please provide details. Just saying "doesn't work" or "not successful" tells us nothing. Again, how are you trying to put the backup app into iTunes, and what happens when you try?
Of course, if you don't want us to try and assist, that's your perogative.
Regards.
Whoever wrote to you had no idea what they were talking about.
Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English removed from AppStore!.
