2.0.1 Update Deleted App Recognition

After spending 6 hours updating my original iPhone to system 2.0.1 and restoring multiple times today, all of my purchased apps are no longer recognized as installed by the App Store. When I open the description for Day Bank, for example, it lists the price rather than saying "Installed" as it did before the update. When I try to download again, the App Store tells me that it is already installed.
Will I be able to update through the iPhone, rather than the desktop iTunes, under this new configuration? Will I be notified of app updates on the iPhone given that my purchased apps are not listed as "installed"? I prefer to update apps from iPhone so that my expenses and to do lists are not deleted on each update, as some have reported happening when updating from iTunes.
As a side note, this is the last time I will update my iPhone operating system because the hassle is not worth it.

I solved the problem by myself and wanted to share the method with everyone:
I suspected that there was some corrupt data on my device and thought the most likely candidates were either the saved photos or some of the applications that saved data on the iPod (e.g., the news apps or the ToDo App). I started off by deleting the photos, rebooting and backing up. This didn't work.
Then I went ahead and deleted the applications I described above. I found that deleting all the applications at once didn't work. I had to delete them one at a time and rebooting after each delete (uninstall). I tried backing up after this step and things worked out well. Hence, I was able to update my device to 2.0.1.

ITunes wishes to update deleted apps.

iTunes wishes to update deleted apps, they are no where to be found on my iPhone and seem invisible on iTunes, when I 'check for available downloads' they will ALWAYS appear and try to download, I pause them then delete them but they always come back, without fail.
Does anyone have any ideas? Before i say goodbye to crapple and go to android.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

HT4972 Update deleted apps

It would be nice if Apple included a ' Warning! Back up your phone before update or all apps will be deleted.' Some of us are not remotely tech savvy & think an Apple pop-up that says 'ready to update iphone with new software?' means all is well to proceed. It wasn't until I panicked after discovering the update deleted all my apps that I researched & found the note on website to erase & backup phone before running latest IOS update. Does anyone know how I can get them back? I understand some people lost all their photos too. I don't use ICloud....just basic iPhone functions.

Apps do not get deleted when updating the device, where did you come up with that misconception?
Update Process:
Device is backed up to iTunes
Device is updated and put into a "like new" state
Device is restored from previously created backup putting everything back exactly as it was prior to the update.
The process is slightly different if running iOS5 and updating directly on the device.

Does ota update delete apps? Do i have to install all apps again?

I Want to update to ios 8 but i don't want to delete my apps and all data.

A successful OTA update does not delete anything. However, occasionally a glitch occurs and you have to connect to iTunes and restore your iPod. Thus, make sure you backup before each iOS update.

ITunes Update Deleted Apps and won't back Apps up

I was helping a friend who uses Windows. He upgraded his iPod touch last night and when he did it deleted half of the apps that he had on the device. The apps that are on the iPod touch aren't getting backed up to iTunes either.
I am a Mac user and haven't seen anything like this so I was not able to help him.
Any ideas?

I found the solution on this site, and it worked for me:

This problem is usually caused by a restriction setting on the device you are syncing with. You may have enabled this setting to prevent your kids from making purchases while you weren’t looking.
To fix this problem, disable the restriction with these steps.
From the iPhone, iPod or iPad, select “Settings“.
Select “General“.
Tap “Restrictions“.
Enter the password that was set on the device. If you don’t know it, ask anybody who has handled the device to see if they set a password.
Slide the “Installing Apps” setting to “On“.

IOS update deleted apps

Today I updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation 8GB. Recently I had bought a few apps including Angry Birds and Cat Physics (both great games!) After syncing my ipod, backing it up twice and installing the update I put all of my apps and songs back on it. I then went to play those games and they were no longer on my ipod or macbook i decided to look for the receipt for these it is was in my inbox, so i do have proof of buying these apps. I don't know how to get these back without buying them again!
please help!
P.S. i also noticed that my notes weren't saved and my progress in other games were not saved! HELP!
Thanks<3

You can simply download them again using the same iTunes Store account that you used to get them the first time. There will not be a charge for downloading an app that you already paid for before. The key here is using the same account in iTunes Store.
More than likely your notes and previous data on games is probably lost for good. I have seen several posts on this subject since the iOS 4 update and have yet to see a satisfactory method of recovering this data after the update.

Does updating your ipod delete apps,songs,photos or app data or any other thing ???

i want to update to 5.1 and it says that it will backup and restore all apps photos songs and everything.so,does updating delete apps or anything or erase app data and progress??

If you update on your syncing computer and all synced media like app, music and synced photos are in yur itunes library/on the computer, you will not lose them nor ose apps date. The backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the update includes app dat and some other things but does not include synced media.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status. I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating. When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times. I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either. If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated. Can anyone assist please?

- Try a reset. It cures amny ills
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Have you tried deleting them from the iPod and then redownloading them dorectly to the iPod?

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

When I try to update my apps the Email that pops out in the box is not mine. How can I change it, delete it please help?

When I try to update the apps the email address is not correct n it's not my apple I.D I don't know how it got there in the first place. I want to delete it and have mine on there hoe can I solve this problem?

It's because the app was purchased under a different Apple ID and is being updated using a different ID. Try using the same Apple ID which was used to download the app and retry. If not, delete the app completely and re-download using YOUR Apple ID.

I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active, How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address. How do I change it to my new email address? The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account. The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating. What do I do?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not. All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID. This can't be changed. The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
