All apps and purchased upgrades gone after upgrading to iOS5.

Well, Apple, you've really Microsoft-ed this iOS5 upgrade.
After upgrading iTunes, then my iPad to iOS5, I lost all the apps and app data from the iPad.
I restored the apps by clicking on all of them in iTunes and Syncing iTunes and the iPad.
This probably did more harm than good, because now the original back up was overwritten with a bad back up.
After reading the forums, I thought I could restore my data and purchased application upgrades, however, nothing changed.
Can I get back to the original backup and selectively restore the application data?
I love the automatic back up feature, but, don't blast away previous back ups. Also, let us decide what to restore to the iPad.
Argh.

The same thing just happened to me and I was ticked!! All is well now though because this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) worked for me! YAYAYAY! Click the first "download previously purchased apps" and follow directions. It's annoying because you have to go back into the app store on your iPad and redownload every single one individually, but at least it works! I was not about to go repurchase them all. After this, I will backup from iPad into iTunes since they got lost in the iTunes update.

All apps and programs crashing even after restore

Hi, after my ipad completely died, all apps and programs now crash about 15-20 seconds after opening them. I have tried everything to correct this:
- uninstalling/reinstalling apps (even though this happens to the default apps as well, such as Settings and the App Store
- Cleared temp files/cookies
- Turned off Spotlight Search
- Closed down any open apps (do this all the time anyways to save batt life)
- Soft reset the device
- Completely restored the device
Nothing has worked and the closest Apple store is 3 hours away. I would prefer some other solutions other than being directed to the store if at all possible
Some other side notes:
- I have the original ipad 1
- I am on iOS 5.0.1
Thanks!!

Well here I am again after having to do this two more times, and guess what? Apps are closing out again...it only took a matter of hours for it to start happening again this time. There has got to be a better way to fix this...would a repair shop be able to figure out what the problem is? this is the only apple product i've ever owned and unfortunately, their lack of support and my experiences are not giving me the warm fuzzies...

All my apps and music are gone after i updated to 5.0.1

i did back up my ipodtouch before i updated it. all my musics and apps are gone and only thing it backed up is my pics, contacts, and some other stuff. is there anyway i can get my apps and musics back?

You said you did a backup...
iCloud backup or iTunes backup?
Also, two suggestions for next time:
Software updates can be done right from your device, under Settings > General > Software Update if you have iOS 5 or later. This usually prevents a lot of problems users typically run in to when updating in iTunes.
When updating in iTunes, even though your restore may seem complete, it is still restoring your apps, music, etc. Please be sure that it is absolutely complete before unplugging.

I have just upgraded the software on my iphone to version 6. I saved all apps and itunes purchases to my computer before upgrading. How can I now put the apps I bought back onto my phone and also onto my new ipad?

Upgrading the OS does not remove your apps and purchases.

I changed my apple ID and lost everything. How do I get all my apps and purchased items back?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

HT4623 I am trying to update my phone but it tells me I don't have enough storage. I have deleted almost all of my apps and purchased 15GB more storage and it still tells me that I don't have enough storage?

Can we restore all apps and music from our Purchase Hist in our ITunes acct

How do I restore all apps and music that have been purchased back on to an IPOD touch? The IPOD was locked and we had to reset it and now we have lost all of the apps and music that we had purchased from April 6, 2010 to now.

What has happened is the IPOD Touch account was originally set up on a laptop. That laptop crashed and we had to then set up the account in question on a Desktop. The IPOD was never synced. The IPOD was diabled because my daughter typed in the wrong password numerous times. So my 15 year old reset the IPOD and it wiped out all of the apps and music. Now I do not know how to restore everything.

No one can help you with that. You will have to remember it or you won't be able to activate the device, sorry.

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete

How do I recover a .app and its file contents after osx "click and hold" "hit x button" delete.
Accidently deleted rapidweaver and all of its content and paid plugins with it. all contain in its package contents. how do i restore. I tried using recovery software.

It is possible that you inadvertently corrupted the file while doing the edit.
But it could also be possible that you moved the file? For iMovie to see it, it should be in the Movies/iMovie Projects folder.

Moving to a new computer. How do I move my Apps and Purchased music over?

Can anyone help me understand what have to do to move my Apps and Purchased music to a new computer? There seem to be lots of articles about it but no single set of steps. I will transfer all my non-iTunes library and rebuild the library, etc. But how do I get the apps and purchases moved over? And how to make sure I don't reset everything and not be able to get it back? I have all my purchased music on the iPod.
iPod Touch 3.1

does this also take care of the apps?
Yes.
Tell me if I am wrong, but if I set hook up the iPod to a different computer, does it not wipe everything out before setting up the new partnership?
Confirmation is required before anything is deleted from the iPod in that case. Items are only deleted without warning if the iPod is set to sync automatically with an iTunes library which that content has been deleted from.
