After upgrading what happens to the apps on my 3G?

I just received my iPhone 4 and put my backup from my iPhone 3G on. It works fine, and there is no more AT&T service on my iPhone 3G. I intend to use the 3G as an iPod Touch. I understand the SIM card needs to stay in the phone for this, even though it is not activated with AT&T.
What happens to the apps that are still on my 3G? They are still working. I assume they will stay there until I need to sync. Then I will have to set up a new iTunes account, under a unique computer user name, for the 3G and buy the apps all over again for the 3G.

Nope, the apps stay there until you delete them.
I currently sync 2 iPhones and 2 iPod Touch units all to one iTunes store account, and per the Apple licensing, they all can run apps I have purchased. I had a similar question as you when I first started using multiple devices, so I sent an email to the app author for the app I wanted most to do this with. His response was that this is Apple's terms, so if I didn't want to purchase a second license to use his app on a second device, then I didn't need to (but he wouldn't stop me if I wanted to either). In the end, I found this app author to be very dedicated to his app, and very responsive to my comments/requests, so I did purchase a second copy of his app (yes, I had my wife create an iTunes account and purchase it under her account).

  • What happens to the apps if I sync to another pc

    ok here is the question, I know that if I sync apps to another pc they will going to erase and reinstall the apps from purchased apps section but what happens to the saved data or games.. as an example; I have Hay Day game.. the game is at a certain level right now and I want to keep it that way.. once I sync it, it will be erased and reinstalled.. will it save my game progress? or how can I save it?

    Game settings and other data is part of the backup:

    A manual backup before you sync for the first time will save your content to the new PC.

    What happened to the punchinpunchout app?

    Only if you knew what company or individual made the app. You would have to contact them. If you don't know, I would suggest Restoring your device from a backup at a point where you had this app.

  • Whats happening to the app store?

    I can't stand it anymore! After upgrading my new iPad  to iOS 6 the App Store is really slow, takes too long to load and its all buggy, sometimes I touch an app and it opens another, like the touch is locked in that place and wherever I touch it opens that app... Also, scrolling is awful, not only on the App Store but n other apps too, I don't know if its only happening to me but I'm starting to get angry with this, already restored 3 times And it didn't solve it...

    Same problem here - dowloaded from App store three times - three re-starts and still no sign of 10.10.2, furthermore the installer is not showing in the Applications folder!
    Fix!!
    I have just downloaded the 10.10.2 update (for 10.10.1) from the Apple site, so I expect that the App store will now stop reminding me that there are updates to install!!

  • TS1702 had Roberts VII apps on my Ipad and after upgrading to OS6.01 the app is gone. How do I get it back without downloading it again?

    lost Roberts VII app after upgrade to OS 6.01
    don't want to download 1gig again.
    where is the add gone and how do i get it back?

    You should be able to authorise the account on that computer via the store drop-down menu at the top of it e.g. on a Mac (a PC should be similar) :
    If you are on iTunes 11 on a PC then pressing Alt-S should open the Store drop-down menu.
    But if you've managed to add it back into the Apps section of your iTunes library then isn't that account already authorised ?

  • Two iPhone same AppleiD moving to iCloud using different account. What happens to the app ?

    Here is the scenario.
    Me and my wife have two different iphone with the same AppleiD. She has her own mail, her music playlist, her photoalbum and of course we share some of the apps bought with my AppleiD.
    Now that we are moving to iCloud I was wondering if she can keep the apps or she has to buy them again.
    Roberto

    you can use the same apple id with DIFFERENT EMAILS for find my friends. That said, i just set my wife up with a brand new apple id that *is* her email address to make it easy for friends to find HER.
    Then i erased my primary email from my iTunes purchase apple id and ADDED it to my @me.com apple id so i ca have MY normal email address work with find my friends.
    now i can have my NON email apple-id work for iTunes purchases and i don't have to ADD yet one MORE apple id (i'm already at the MAX of FIVE allowed to sync to an iDevice!)
    so my email address: [email protected] is attached to my [email protected] apple id, and friends can request and it works great. I use the [email protected] for signing on on *MY* phone *and* my wife's phone for iCloud (so our calendars and contacts are shared) then my WIFE is signed into find my friends with [email protected]
    I've had a non-email apple id since apple id existed. i've changed my email about half a dozen times since that time, and even so, accidentally purchased a few things with OTHER apple id's (that are now defunct emails); very moronic to use a non-apple-controlled email address as a user id! yeesh that was dumb.

  • What happened to the app reviews?

    I can't see any app reviews in thr App Store from my iPad, not for current or older versions, of apps that have thousands of ratings.  Were all the reviews removed from all apps?

    First Apple shot themselves in the foot by releasing FCPX prematurely.
    Secondly they shot themselves in the head when opting to remove all the bad reviews given about FCP X in the app store.
    Had those reviews been positive, they would not have been removed.
    Been using Apple since 1994. Today is the second time I have been REALLY disappointed by Apple.
    The first time was when I saw a Lion Developer Preview a Week Ago....

  • What happens to the apps' data, if they were restored to a new device, but apps never get installed?

    This is a super easy scanario. 
    Say in my old phone I have totally 50 apps, 30 purchased under Appel ID (A), and another 20 purchased under a different Apple ID, (B).
    The old device is iOS5 and I turned on iCloud backup and back up everything (data of all apps).
    I get a new device, restore from iCloud, wait until everything (photo, messages, settings, most importantly, data of all 50 apps) are restoed to the new phone.
    The first thing happen after the first reboot, and it will prompt me to log on my Apple ID, to install apps.
    What if, at this moment I decied to only sign on with Apple ID (A), and just don't want to use all 20 apps that I purchased under Apple ID (B) anymore?
    Is the data of those 20 apps become leftover /  orphane on my new phone, and just no way to clean them up?  Please notice again, that I did not say "install app and then delete", I know that will clean up the data as well. I mean when data is copied over but app never get installed.

  • Unknown contacts and appointments after upgrade, what happened?

    I traded in my 4 for the new 5 the other day and after backing the 4 up to the cloud i setup my new 5.  After it was finished i had a large number of unknown people and appointments on my phone.  I have noticed also that some of my known contacts info has changed.  What the heck has happened?

    that's not really something that we can help you with since we can't see your account. i would definitely call applecare if i were you

  • What happens to the apps when I press the home button on iPod touch?

    Yeah, I know that sounds obvious, but I need to know the idea behind it. In iOS 4, you can multitask, but only if you have an iPod touch 3rd generation (32 or 64 GB). I don't have an iPod touch 3rd generation; I have the 8 GB 2nd generation, which I upgraded to iOS 4, so I have no multitasking for 3rd party apps.
    So my question is: On my 2nd generation iPod touch that runs iOS 4, if I close a 3rd party app that uses Push Notifications (such as Facebook or Textfree Unlimited) by pressing the home button, will it still run in the background?
    Message was edited by: dlee099

    I'm not dead certain of this, but I think the only push mail supported is Apple's MobileMe. When you launch another app the current app is closed. The Home button should close any running app. The only exception I've noted is if you are playing music on the Touch which seems to continue playing even when running another app.

  • What happens to the data in apps that you choose not to backup with iCloud?

    Hi,
    I have a 64b iPad and a lot of the storage is used up with data stored inside apps. Some of these data stores are 10s of GB in size. Such as, I keep some videos on my iPad that I play with VLC player. When I upgraded the iPad to iOS5 and activated iCloud backup, it immediately told me there wasn't enough room to back up my iPad entirely. I turned off backing up certain apps, such as VLC.
    What happens to these apps? Are they still backed up during regular syncs with your Mac?

    when you plug into itunes you can backup to both locations (icloud and locally) just not a the same time. When you click on your phone in itunes you'll see this option
    click icloud then sync (will backup to icloud when you sync)
    afterwords
    click back to this computer and sync
    keep in mind that if icloud has a 5GB backup limite unless you upgrade it
    10GB — $20/year
    25GB — $40/year
    50GB — $100/year
    edit: forgot to say
    if you don't sync with itunes to the computer then whatever doesn't go to icloud is not backed up at all.
