10.5.3 update lost apps - how do i restore?

Hi -
When I upgraded my iTunes to 10.5.3, it lost sight of all my music, movies, apps, etc. I've managed to restore all the music, movies from my HD back up, but the apps are gone. How can I get them back (still on all my devices, but gone from iTunes)?
thanks!!

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can redownload your available previous purchases.

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

You cannot downgrade the iOS, there is no supported method.
Google streetview was not lost, Google Maps were removed from iOS6 and replaced with Apple Maps.

Try a Reset... you will not lose data or settings...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Gday i erased my imac from my ipad using the find iphone app,how do i restore it back 2 factory settings

What OS did the Mac come pre-installed with, or have you upgraded it to Lion or Mountain Lion? You should be able to re-install using Internet Recovery, if you were on either of those OS's.
Restart holding down Command + Alt (Option) + r
You'll probably prompted for your Apple ID and you'll need to have the Mac connected to the internet - ideally via ethernet cable, although wifi should be OK if you have a reliable connection.
More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you're on an earlier OS you'll need to use the grey restore disk that came with the Mac. Post back if you need more info.
P.S. Pleased to hear you got your Mac back.

I lost all music after an update on itouch, how do i restore

lost all music after update , how do you restore it?

You can go to iTunes, and download any music tracks for free if you have already downloading them. Same goes for apps, go to the App Store on your iPod, Updates, and then Purchased. From there, download anything for free (that you purchased before). All app progress will be saved too.
OR, if you have a reliable backup, you can restore from that.

iCloud should not have any effect on the programs you mentioned, did you mean that you upgraded to Mountain Lion or Lion in order to get iCloud?
Are you seeing any error messages, if yes, what are they?

I recently had to reset my apple id to a new email address, but when i try to update my apps, the old one is still showing up, how do i change it?

Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always need to be updated using that account.

3 accounts at itunes, problems updating iphone apps, how erase old acc?

hi
i am having troubles with my itunes accounts. for whatever reasons
i have 3 accounts there, which i established in the last 10 years, buying software and hardware at apple store germany. i cant remember the last 2 account names/passwords, only the present one. thats confusing. one sideeffect is, that i cant update all iphone apps, it refuses to update some apps, which i bought earlier.
i have to do it manually via iphone app update inside the iphone, also i usually get 3 mails from "apple news".
i would like to have ONE account which refers to my .mac mobileme membership and my main apple mail adress, but i dont know where to call in order to change that, there is no support for itunes account (phone) other than mail, so i mailed them and got answered from a mailbot like "we cant erase old accounts". i am feeling helpless.
any idea?
thanks!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your hard drive, your phone will see your computer as a "new" computer and all itunes content will first be deleted from your phone. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in iCal & Address Book. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click(Control Click) in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library.
