Why cant I download apps after restoring from a backup? How to fix?

After I restored my ipod from a backup a month ago, my ipod wont let me download apps. It says "Unable to download app at this time". The thing is I can download when connected to my computer, and when new apps are downloaded on my other devices, they auto-download onto my ipod (Like they did before the restore from the backup) How can I download apps again without connectig to my computer or downloading them on other devices?

Have you tried when connect to another network?
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Gray Screen of Doom after restoring from TM backup . . .

    OK here's what happened:
    I tried installing Vista (32bit and home edition) via boot camp but it asked me to repartition my Mac HD *because some files could not be moved* to a single osx journal.
    So I used TM to backup my system before popping in the Snow Leopard installation DVD and formatting + reinstalling OSX. After I got my re-installed system up and going, I popped in the Vista CD again and successfuly installed Windows.
    Then, I jumped back on my mac to restore it from a backup (around 250 GB backup); so I rebooted from the OSX DVD again, and selected restore from backup via TM. All was going well, and I left it on overnight while it restored (About 6 hours) . . .
    When I checked this morning, my iMac had fallen asleep, so I nudged it awake and found that the restore had been successful and that I needed to restart. Hence, I did.
    Upon system restart, the apple logo of course popped out and things were looking well, when suddenly that grey box containing international messages of having to hold down the power button popped out. I did, and the same thing happened when I rebooted. Again and again and again.
    So I booted it from Windows now, and making this post.
    Things I've tried:
    -Booted from OSX DVD, used repair disk/disk permissions in disk utility on my Mac HD (it said it was OK)
    Things I've got in my mind to try:
    -Re-restore from the Backup via the OSX DVD again, this time sticking around to restart it upon finish without too much delay (even though I"m not sure if that has anything to do with it)
    -Re-install OSX via DVD, and then try restoring.
    I will update this when I try these; but in the meantime, I was hoping someone had an easier solution that doesn't require too much time consumption.

    That's a *kernel panic.*
    They are usually caused by hardware problems, but can be software.
    Disconnect all peripherals, except keyboard and mouse. Reconnect one at a time to see if you can find the culprit.
    If that's no help, run the Apple Hardware Test, from the separate disc that came with your Mac.

  • No Camera App after restore from backup on iphone 4

    OK so I backedup my iphone 3g which was on 312 on itunes 9.2 before my iphone 4 arrived today. I restored from backup and all of my apps restored. I can't seem to find the camera app! It's driving me crazy that I am trying restore the iphone 4 as a new phone but downloading the iOS4 firmware for iphone 4 is taking more than 3 hours for some reason.
    Has anyone seen this?

    Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me. How can I continue to use idevices?????

  • Why have my apps not restored from itunes backup?

    I just got a new phone from the apple store and had backed up my old phone on itunes on my laptop. I restored the new phone from the back up on itunes and it has restored my contacts and text messages etc but has not restored any of my purchased apps?? Can anyone help?

    WHen you click on file on the upper left hand corner and choose device, there will be 4 option, sync, transfer purchase, back up and restore from back up. You can always download again your purchase from the apple id you used to purchase the apps if you forget 1 step

  • Lost booknamrks sub folders including the bookmarks after restoring from a backup file, how can i retore my bookmarks?

    I was organizing my bookmarks, by mistake I deleted a folder, after that I restored from a back up file (from the library window), instead of getting my bookmarks restored, I've lost all the sub folders including the bookmarks within!!! Now i only have the bookmarks in the unsorted bookmarks folder. What went wrong here and how can i get my bookmarks back?

    For the next time that this happens:
    If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.<br />
    If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.<br />
    This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.<br />
    <br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    In that case you need to export the current bookmarks to an HTML file before doing the restore and import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
    You can remove duplicates with the CheckPlaces extension or you can copy the existing bookmarks to the clipboard before restoring the JSON backup and Paste them back afterward.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

    After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.  Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days.  I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

    Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem.  I tried it and it didn't work for me.  Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

    I have an ipod touch and have no similar issues - is this an itunes account setup issue?

    Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and tapping on your account id on the right-hand side, and the logging back in to see if that makes any difference ?
    You could also try a reset and see if you can then download them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    A third option is to download one of the updates to your computer's iTunes and connect your iPad to it and sync it across, and then see if you can download the other apps/updates directly on the iPad.

    Because Apple limits it to 100MB.

  • I need to restore from last backup because my iPhone is having issues. I'd like to keep certain pictures and videos from my iPhone app: Video Safe. If I do restore from last backup, will the pics that I put on the app after my last backup still be on it?

    My iPhone keeps switching between turning wheel and iPhone logo so I need to restore from last backup. I just really want to keep certain videos and pictures from the Video Safe app which were added to it after the last backup.

    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
