Any way to re-get apps purchased with iphone but NOT synched with computer?

My iPhone had been having issues synching so one of the Tech guys decided that the best way to solve it was by upgrading to OS4 and seeing if that fixed the problem. Unfortunately they didn't do a full backup (apparently it kept aborting part way thru) and I had apps that hadn't been synched to my iTunes account on the computer. Does anyone know of any way for me to get those apps back without buying them again? I was thinking that their might be a record of their purchase in my iTunes account since I had to have accessed it, even though it was thru the phone, to buy them in the first place, but I don't see it. I also don't know if I can just contact someone in tech support at apple about fixing it because I didn't see a logical way to contact them about the issue.

Well, you missed several chances, so now all that's left is to redownload them individually. At least you can do that without paying for them again. You can't do that with music.
You apparently didn't back up your iTunes library, in spite of regular reminders from iTunes when you make purchases. AND you don't have an external drive with Time Machine, which would have backed up your computer (including iTunes) automatically.
Before syncing you could have copied your apps from your iPhone to iTunes, as described in the manual, but apparently you didn't.
It's also not clear how iTunes "lost" your apps, unless you had a hard drive failure. This just doesn't happen, unless you have done something to your iTunes folders or had a hardware failure. I would suggest tracking down how iTunes lost your apps before you go any further; you may have a much bigger problem with your computer.

  • Is there any way to recover data previously stored on iPhone but not backed up on iCloud?

    I just accidentally restored data through iCloud from my old iPhone to new iPhone and lost all data previously stored on the new phone. Is it possible to recover the lost data at all?

    Have you backed up the new phone's data anywhere? iCloud or iTunes? If not, then you are stuck with the restore you put on it....
    Sorry,

    Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with?  Is the computer authorized for that account?

  • My itunes was deleted off of my computer. Is there any way I can get my music from my Ipod back onto my computer?

    Most of my music is from CDs that I don't have anymore. I've got over a thousand songs and most of them were deleted when my computer crashed. Is there any way I can get my music from my ipod back onto my computer? Any sort of program you can buy? Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!

  • Iphone will not synch with itunes after downloading most recent itunes version

    I updated to most recent version of itunes and since then my 3GS iphone will not synch with itunes. the phone is recognized by my windows computer but not recognized within itunes. I redownloaded itunes and Q but nothing.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Dell XPS 8500 with a 64bit i5 Processor and an Apple 4s and I have the same problem.  I have been searching for days and can only get the phone recoginzed by disabling power to USB ports and there is no way I can get ITunes to show devices, so I can't see the IPhone.  People say Apple monitors these sites but I haven't seen any response from a technical person. Have you?  My hunch is they know about the problem but don't have a fix, and have other priorities for their team. If my hunch is correct, its quite extraordinay because I am close to selling my 4s and getting some phone which is easier to work with. Time is my scarcest resource and I have devoted way too much of it to this issue.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • Hey i have my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem..

    Hey my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem?

    It can sync with a 32-bit, so long as you have the correct version of iTunes installed. I'm assuming that you are referring to a Windows based computer, so check out this support document regarding the device not being recognized by Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • IPhone 4 not synching with MacBook Pro contacts or calendar

    Hi there,
    My issue is that my iPhone 4 is not synching with my MacBook Pro which is running Snow Leopard (I haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion yet as judging by the reviews there's a split in how successful it is).
    The latest information is on my iPhone, both contacts and calendar, however under iTunes (the latest update v11) it does not give me the option box to 'check' and sync these menu's. Any ideas anyone - this is issue is not only baffling but annoying as ****.
    Any ideas of feedback would be greatl

    Doh! Got it working....
    Helps to use the "search" function better. I read another thread where someone was having the same problem and a suggestion was to ensure that he was using the same cable that came with his iPhone...sure enough! That was my problem. My wife has an iPod and somehow we mixed up our wires.
    I swapped cables with her and boom! The synch function is back at work.

  • IPhone 4 not synching with iCloud or Macbook

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4 that is not synching with iCloud correctly.  For contacts there is over 500 on my phone and only 41 in my iCloud.  Also, there is a similar issue when I synch through iTunes (10.7 version 21).  I run a MacBook with Snow Leapord.  Any ideas on what I must do?
    Thanks!

    Suggest a small trial - create on the Computer a small playlist of Songs - using the iPhone on local WiFi select the playlist scroll to the end and select the option to 'download all' - you should find that the Songs are immediately available for playing on the iPhone.
    If the trial does not work there is a more serious issue ... do post back the progress you make.

  • My In app purchase has billed but not been delivered?

    I made an in app purchase on a game. My itunes account has been billed but the purchase has not been delivered to the app. According to itunes all my downloads are complete and the ipad is in constantly connected to a network. I have contacted the vendor but have had no reply. The app is "my fishpond" by Rockifone.

    I have a similar issue except my library shows the purchase but I can't get it to download to my ipad.... If you purchase it again it should prompt you that you already own it?? I'm told you shouldn't get charged twice... Just a thought.
