Application menu is there - but all apps are GONE

All my apps appeared on the app menu and in itunes - until today. I know the application selection on the menu can be hidden, it's not. I kept the software up to date, I had not installed the latest release until just now.
All my apps are missing, about $30+ worth, plus related data. Can someone help me out here? Not sure what to do, help!

Hello spaceistheplace,
There are several possible ways to recover your applications. As previously mentioned you can redownload purchases APPs without charge:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You can transfer purchases from the iPhone to your iTunes library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
The application data is not stored with the APPS in iTunes, that information is maintained on the iPhone and can also be stored in the backup that iTunes creates when you sync the iPhone.
Check out my post in this thread for additional information about getting the APPS back into iTunes:

Hope that helps,

  • HT4527 Shared, transfered, backed up, synced, but all apps are gone...?

    Hi,
    We have 1 iPad, 1 iPhone, and 3 iPods that need to be moved from old-pc to new-pc..  So I:
    - read forums, faqs, etc.
    - authorize new-pc
    - set up sharing and copy everything from old-pc to new-pc
    - transrfer purchases from iPad to new-pc
    - do a back up of iPad to new-pc
    - upgraded iPad on new-pc
    - sync iPad to new-pc
    Then, much to my dismay, I see that no apps are present.  Music and movies are there, so are some personal settings, but no AppStore apps.   "A-ha!", I thinks to myself..."I'll restore from backup!"  After which iPad has reverted it's sync to old-pc. 
    So I curse for a bit and re-sync iPad to new-pc.  But all apps are still gone, and the only way to get them back on iPad is to download them from iStore (or whatever the h*** it's called) but all personal app-info is gone.
    Please help.  How do I transfer iThing ownership from old-pc to new-pc without losing half of everything?
    Thanks, oh so very much.
    Splats.

    Have you tried this...
    Reset all settings

    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

    Thanks. I think I'm going to try and revert my old 3GS to factory settings, put my last back up on it and manually enter all my phone numbers. I'm too worried about messing everything up! I'm typically good with technological issues but my iPhone scares the crap out of me since it is so essential to everything haha

  • HT3702 I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free?

    I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free? It is possible to get money back?

    If you are referring to the temporary store holding charge as described on the page that you posting, which is 'charged' each time that you change the card details on your account, then it should disappear off the card within a few days or so - though it varies by bank, and with it now being the weekend it might an extra day or two. If they haven't disappeared within a week of them being made then you could contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    Also some apps may be free to download but they then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features within them - you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions on your phone.

  • Updated iPad to iOS5.  Now all apps are gone!

    I updated the OS on my iPad 1st gen to 5.  I got the restore error like many people have gotten.  I tried again and it succesfully updated to 5.  When I finally got through the initial setup, I noticed all the apps I purchased were gone!  I did a restore and it was the same state.  So, I restored from a backup I did yesterday.  All my apps are still gone.
    Any ideas?

    First of all: before you upgrade, always make a backup of your device in iTunes!
    The following happens when upgrading to iOS 5 (this is different from previous system upgrades!):
    The installer creates automatically a restore file
    Then a clean system is installed on your device, all your data will be removed. Don't panic, this will be ok later on.
    When the os is updated you get a few configuration questions (i.e. language settings).
    At one point you're given a choice:
    configure device as a new device
    restore from iCloud
    restore from iTunes
    Unless you want to start all over, choose the third option.
    All your settings will be restored at first and your device will restart.
    Now comes the tricky bit: After restart your device will work fine as if the process is finished. i.e. you can send and recieve mails. At this point you will not see the apps you had installed, also you're photo's and movies will not be on your device. (I was fooled buy this one at first too)
    Do not disconnect your device or quit iTunes! In the background iTunes is still restoring the rest of your data. (Switch to iTunes and you'll see the progress.) This can take some time, depending on how much apps you had installed. One by one you'll see apps appearing on your device. You can't use the untill the whole restore is finished.
    When all apps are back, your photo's and video's will be restored.
    So please be patient. It took me more than an hour to get everything back in place.
    The only small annoyance: there are new Apple-apps added to the homescreen. They're 'pushed' to the second screen by your own homescreen apps, leaving your second screen almost empty. Now you only have to rearrange the apps on the second screen.
    If all turns out bad, because you unplugged your device too early, go back to your restore file you made yourself before upgrade. (You did do that, didn't you?) and start the process all over.

  • I just updated my iphone 4S & all apps are gone. How do I get them back.

    I just updated my iphone 4S & all my apps are gone.

    All your apps should be in your itunes media library, so sync your phone to itunes.
    Only the app data is part of the backup, not the apps itself.

  • When I go to my home page, some of the gadgets do not appear. The frame is there but the app is gone.

    Several of the gadgets on my igoogle homepage are no longer visible. I still get local weather, quotes and a couple of others but the rest aren't there. The frames that outline these missing gadgets are still in place but there's nothing inside them.
    Thanks....Joe

  • I have lost firefox and hade to reinstall but all settings are gone. how do I retreive them?

    I have had problems with Firefox for several days. When I am within a page I cannot go to a further page within the selected site. Now I have a newly installed version of Firefox and it has no stored information. No bookmarks or passwords. The lost information is important and cannot be recreated. Help

    Did you create a new profile or possibly reset Firefox?
    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.

  • IPod and iTunes say there are two apps that need to be updated but when I click into it it says all apps are up to date. Has anyone else had this issue??? And is there anything I can do to fix it??

    iPod says two updates but says all apps are up to date

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Hi, i had backed up my data and then when i restored my phone with the restore backup option, all the photos, music where there but no apps. Al my apps are disappeared. Can you please tell me where are my apps backed up?

    Hi, i had backed up my data and then when i restored my phone with the restore backup option, all the photos, music where there but no apps. Al my apps are disappeared. Can you please tell me where are my apps backed up?

    Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
    Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    And then restore from backup.
    Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten.
