After I restored my iPhone, all my apps got deleted. What now?
Earlier today, I connected my iPhone to iTunes via USB and was prompted to restore my iPhone before I could disconnect. So I proceeded and after the process was finished, I retrieved my music and photo files from the back-up. _**Now to get to my point:**_ after I restored the iPhone, all of my applications got deleted, including the one I purchased. Is there any way I can retrieve them back, or do I have to install each one manually? What about the ones I bought? Is there any way I can get those back without having to buy it again?

This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
The backup does not include any iTunes content - music, podcasts, video, or 3rd party apps. All iTunes content including 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. After downloading/installing an app with your iPhone, the app should be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
You can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

I am using Apple ipod 2nd gen with IOS 4.2.1 . No i recently updated my IOS and all my apps were deleted. Now when i download IBOOKS it needs IOS 5. How do i get the apps which are copatible with IOS 4.2.1 or IPOS 2nd GEN??
You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models -
I reasently got a new Iphone 5 and restored it so it had all my contacts, pictures etc. on it. It worked and all my photos etc.are there but all my music won't play.
It is all there but faded with a pause symbol with a circle around it, almost as if it hasn't down loaded yet.Hi marcella65,

All my apps got sync'd to my wifes phone, even the paid ones work
Okay, sorry this is a little long; I have the 3G and my wife has the original, we both use the same computer to sync via itunes using different profiles; never had a problem. I download and installed 3.0.1 to my phone and then connect my wifes phone and do the same with no problems. When I get home from work my wife tells me she can't open any 3rd party apps (they open for a split second and close). So I re-sync her phone and I leave it for a little while, when I get back to the phone, all her apps are gone and all mine are now installed on her phone, paid apps and all. The weird part is, any app that we both had like Splash ID, Facebook, ebay, still had our log-in and other info just like prior to the mix up. The other weird thing is all the apps I paid for are now on her phone and work perfectly and act as though they just got downloaded and being used for the first time, so basically, all her apps got deleted and all mine were installed. My wife has to now reinstall all her apps (which come up as being previously downloaded or paid for). Anybody ever hear of this? Or how to avoid it ever happening again?
Im having a similar problem. Never had a problem until the most recent itunes update, or even the mms update, not sure. But I updated my girlfriends phone for the mms update, and all my apps were synced to her phone. I use the same computer, but we have separate itunes accounts. Tonight, i restored my phone, was having problems, and now i have my apps and all of hers. I did notice that there is a now a home sharing setting, but it is turned off. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?
Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall -
I updated to iOS 7 but now that I am using my iphone, all my apps are gone. everything else has been recovered from i could except my apps. I have my apps backed up but i cant get them restored.
Right click on the .exe file and select run as admin. This will allow it to run all the processes it needs and should help it work. If the problem is not fixed you should try waiting till a new update, that often fixes ios issues.
On other problem could be a hardware issue, try a new cable and use it in a different USB socket. -
After clicking "restore" in iTunes, all of my contacts were erased.
After clicking "restore" in iTunes, all of my contacts were erased. All of my text messages and apps were left alone though. Is there any way I can get them all back?
When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased. The first step is updating the iPhone's backup with a prompt to update the backup or skip the update. Contacts are included with the backup but so is a significant amount of other data. Sounds like there is a problem with the backup in regards to the contact info.
Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air. Apple's iCloud account is one, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail are others. -
WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
The App store crashing is a known problem.

How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?
If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?
- A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
- A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod. If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
- If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?
Transfer purchases over from your phone to your computer before you sync your apps. See Transferring Purchases for more details.

Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

I keep getting the error message "-42408" and all of my apps got deleted on my iPhone. It says that I need to authorize my computer, so I tried than and that's when the error message showed up. I'm pretty ****** and want my apps to be back on my iPhone. Please help.
What version of iTunes are you using? The error you references seems to be connected with iTunes 9.0.4. That version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS 6. You need to update to the current version of iTunes.
