This is not forum for notebooks; have to tell people what version of Mac OS you have.
Try the above MBP or OS X though.

Recently when I connect my iphone 4 to my Mac for normal synchronising i found after a few minutes all my purchased apps were deleted and gone ? I have no problem to retrieve them back but that is exhausting and I am feeling sick ? what is the problem ? please help me and thank you
Make sure Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and that all the apps are checked that you want on your phone. Also be sure that your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your apps (and other media) in Store>Authorize this Computer.

All of my apps were deleted from my apple id
Somewhere between updating my phone, changing my gamecenter email and password, or transferring pictures from my phone to my computer, my apps were deleted from my apple id. I'm not talking about deleted from my phone, I mean from my apple id. I am 110% sure this is the same apple id that I purchased everything on.
It started with me trying to update 2 apps after getting done transferring pictures last night, and it wouldn't let me. I tried a bunch of solutions and none worked. I downloaded Spotify to my phone no problem, but still couldn't update Clash of Clans and Twitch. Then I went to updates>purchased>my name, and saw my only purchased app was spotify. I was confused because it was still my same apple id, I didn't log into a new one. Then I deleted twitch and clash of clans from my phone and was able to download them. I can use them no problem, but that's not really the problem. The problem is any app that is on my phone won't be able to update when an update comes out, which some of those apps I had purchased with my money.
Two or three days ago I had tried to update my phone from my computer, only to have it go into recovery mode. To make a long story short, the problem was the usb port on my computer, so I changed to another one and it updated fine. I figured that was the end of my problem, but I can't remember if I tried to update any apps since then (other than the 2 last night when I found out this problem).
Last night I changed my gamecenter email and password to the same email and password on my itunes account and icloud account (although I think itunes and icloud are the same thing but I'm not sure). No problems there, everything worked fine. Then later on I hooked my phone up to my computer and itunes told me something about this phone not being used with this computer before (it has definitely been used before). Then it told me to fill in my information, so I put in my address, state, zip. I didn't really think anything of it. After finishing with the pictures, I grabbed my phone and saw two updates (see paragraph 2 for what happened next).
I ended up just going to sleep last night to deal with it today. So today what I did was restored from the backup I did right after updating my phone a couple days ago. That did not fix my problem (I didn't think it would since even on my computer itunes is showing my only apps are the four that I downloaded today/last night (clash of clans, spotify, twitch, and alien blue)). The thing that angers me is when I go on itunes, click on the three dots on top left near music, movies, etc, apps, my apps, it shows all of my purchased apps on my phone. When I right click it tells me who purchased it (99% of them say the same apple id that I am logged into that is only showing the four purchased apps, the other ones are from family sharing). Also when I look at my itunes folder on my computer, it shows all of the apps saved to my computer.
Like I said, for now I can still use the apps, but once an update comes I won't be able to anymore. Sky guide, camera+, night cam, and true skate (and 2 maps on true skate) are what I bought with my money.
So my 2 questions are:
-What caused this to happen/how can I avoid this happening again?
-Am I just supposed to buy those 4 apps again even though I purchased them on this apple id?Well I figured out my problem lol
Email a- original apple id email
Email b- original gamecenter id
Email c- the new gamecenter id
Email d- the temporary email for switching stuff
So originally I had Email a for apple id and icloud, and Email b for gamecenter. I wanted my gamecenter and apple id to be the same. Well today I went on my moms phone and saw that I was still on family sharing under Email d. That's when it hit me, your gamecenter, apple id, and icloud are the same account. By switching my gamecenter id to Email a, I turned that into my new apple id. Now my apple id is back to normal, and my gamecenter is Email c (I don't use Email b anymore so that's why I wanted to switch it).
Basically, my problem was being stupid enough not to think that your gamecenter was connected to your apple id. My problem came from switching my gamecenter email. So that's how to avoid this, don't be an idiot and think your gamecenter is a whole different account. For anyone who ever has this problem, that's why it happened haha. -
I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on, all my apps were deleted. I tried to reinstall my apps, but it wouldn't let me. My storage still remained the same even though, all my apps were deleted. How can I get my apps back?
Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.

As already described I started a WiFi Sync with iTunes. In about 3 seconds all apps were deleted. So all apps that were installed. Some apps waited for download. They are still on...
Now how can I backup to before the sync. The newest datas are in iCloud, maybe that will help! Otherwise I would also try to get it from iTunes. How is that possible?
I really hope someone can help me!I would check and see if the apps are still in iTunes on your computer and sync with the computer again. Just because we now have WiFi sync at our disposal does not mean that you can't sync with the computer again.
If you have a backup on your computer, you can restore from the backup first and sync any apps that are still missing. I think you can only restore from iCloud if you restore your iPad to factory settings using iTunes on the computer anyway. I see no way to restore from iCloud simply by using the device itself. I'm pretty sure that is how you must do it. Perhaps you have to erase all content and settings on the device and then restore with iCloud and I assume that would work as well. I see no setting in iCloud on the iPad that lets you restore from the backup, so you still have to restore to factory settings some way.
So while we are free from the computer in some ways, IMHO - it still handy to be reliant on your computer. I may be missing something - but after watching a couple of videos about restoring from the cloud, that is the way I think it works. -
I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted. I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work. Help!
Try ReSynching to iTunes. If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC. That should bring them back. You can then turn on sync to cloud again.
You may, however, want to re-think that. There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues. Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
Good Luck. -

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.

All my apps were deleted when i downloaded ios7
All my apps were deleted when I downloaded the IOS7 update. I can open them from the apps icon but they do not show up on my screen. HELP!
i just answered another question with the same problem...
anyway, try sync you iphone with itunes
if that doesn`t work, try retreiving all your shops in itunes (file>dispositives> retrieve your shops) - my itunes is in portuguese, i actually don`t know exactly the words of the menu, but if you try u can find it
if none of that works, try logging out of your itunes account on your phone... after that log in again, and try to download the apps you have purchased.
none of that works, try restoring it with a previous backup, if it doesn`t work, do it from scratch! -
How do I undo an iPhone iTunes sync? Most of my apps were deleted!
I am migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. I restored my iTunes Music and Video library, now I'm trying to setup iPhone and iPad sync'ing.
When I tried to sync music to my iPhone, iTunes gave me an error saying this phone is associated with another iTunes Library. This is
referreing to my old XP library.
When I did a "sync" of my music, most of my apps were deleted. How do I restore these? How do I tell iTunes that I want that the
"other" iTunes library (under XP) is gone. Do I need to restore some other files/directories to get devices to sync without deleting
stuff?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am VERY frustrated right now!
Thanks,
GaryYou should have put all of your apps on the new computer.
Whatever is not on the new computer will not be on your iphone.
If you failed to put your apps on your new computer, then you will have to redownlaod them.

I'd like to know if I can download viber on my 3.1 3GS iphone or not. I don't want to update my Iphone's version,so is it possible to have viber on 3.1? even if all my previous apps get deleted?
The minimum version required for Viber is 3.1, though it is always important to stay up to date. Why is it that you do not want to download the latest version?

I went on a trip and when I came back almost all my ipad apps were gone(I suspect my dad). When I went to go look at my account it was as the same as the ipad, it had none of my other games on there. How do I get my account back to how it was
I kind of ran into the same issue when I checked my purchased apps on my iPad in the iTunes store. A bunch were not there. I then looked at iTunes on my computer and again, a bunch were missing. I realized I had not synched in quite a while. Once I synched everything was ok. As the poster above said, iTunes knows you have already purchased them so you can redownload for free. However, be aware that when you do red own load you will be asked to pay again, just say ok and the next popup will say that you have already purchased the app.
Lesson I learned - synch more often. Boy, I can't wait for IOS5...... -
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.
