Apps are gone from purchased list after Apple ID region switched

Hi Genius,
Saying I've just switched the region of my Apple ID days ago, and then I found the "purchased" list of my account was emptyed, nothing there even I've paid form them.
I have no idea how it works. Do I need to pay & download those apps form the new region app store again, even I've paid in another region?
Thank you.
Jerry

Apple licenses their content by region. This means that Apple licenses content from content providers (e.g. Paramount, HBO, EMI, etc.) by country, and Apple sells content to customers by country. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that your purchase history would be repopulated if you changed your region settings back to your original region.
Since Apple is the content provider for the App Store, they *should* be able to work with you to transfer your App licenses (the paid ones, at least). Some apps, such as the BBC iPlayer app, are only available in certain countries. You may run into a situation where one of your apps isn't available in your new region.
I hope that helps. I'd advise you to contact iTunes Store support for the *official* answers to your specific questions.

My cousin told me there was a way to get free apps and that he could do it but what he really did was try to refund all my apps, the apps are gone from the history but no money has come back for me to even get the apps back, please help.

Yup!!
Got what you deserved!
Do not try and rip off or steal from people or companies.
You have good cousin, there!(sarcasm)

Movie gone from rental list after 4.4 update

I just updated my Apple TV to 4.4 and now The Adjustment Bureau is gone from my list of rentals. It doesn't even show up when I search in iTunes. I know I had at least another 20 days to watch it.
What happened? Is it really gone from the iTunes/Apple list?

The update caused your Apple TV to reset (hopefully it's a one off). Redownload the movie, I'm not sure whether you will need to pay for it again (even if it says so at that point). Keep watching Your Purchase History and if you do get charged, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button.

HT1414 my apps are gone from the itunes store, whats up with that?

will I have to purchase the ones I still want on my phone. At least one of them was currupt since my battery was draining 10X the normal rate. when I went to get my apps and choose the ones to put back on my phone they were not in my apple account. My ringtones are gone also.
does anyone know what apps drain the battery fast. I really dont play any games.

There is two ways you can do this with iOS 5,
1. tap on App store icon, then purchased on the bottom menu, and download direct from iCloud.
2. connect your iPad to computer and open iTunes if not already open. Select your iPad in the left
column then choose the Apps tab and check each App you want on the iPad. If your iPad is connected to a power source and you use iTunes WiFi sync on the same WiFi, you can download Apps from iTunes without connecting your Ipad to the computer.

HT5085 how to recover old apps on iphone 4? i restore phone and all of my apps are gone from itune purchased history

Make sure you are not syncing contacts with iCloud. Go to settings>iCloud and make sure contacts is turned off. Then try and sync contacts by selecting in the info tab again.

Apps are gone from phone and from itunes synch

I just updated my iphone with 3.0, and after figuring out how to get out of emergency call mode, found out that all but one of my apps have been evaporated. I have read on other posts that re-synching the phone would bring them back, however, my apps don't appear in the itunes synch window either. They're lost. What stinks is that I don't remember what the name of the apps were, so I cannot do a search for them in the apps store. One of the apps, a voice recorder whose name I cannot remember, had a years stored recordings worth of my my daughter's learning how to talk from age 3 months to 15 months old. That's a big loss for me. Does anyone have any idea whether I can get these apps back, and if so, how I would do that?
Thank you,
Peter

Are you logged into the iTunes store (on your computer) before you sync? One should log in and tell iTunes to remember so you are not logged out. If you are not logged in to the store on the computer, it doesn't know your account info during the sync thus cannot verify you as the owner of the files.

Updated my Iphone, now pictures, texts and apps are gone from phone. Can i get them back? please help!

I sync'd it yesterday and today, then when updating it today its restored to factory settings and all apps, photos and texts have gone. looked in the i tunes library and in windows explorer (tells me last sync was 3 months ago!) to no avail. now when i try to restore it on itunes a box appears with there was an interruption with restore then a new box with the message restore error. any help greatly appreciated

"Any hope?"
There was if you used any of the backup strategies you listed in your first sentence. iTunes functions as the backup software for your iOS device. MobileMe similarly aacts as a backup if you need to restore your phone.
Since you chose to work without a safety net, it would seem you have lost all the contacts. That was a risk level you were comfortable enough with. The important take away here is that all computers need to be backed up. And there is more computer in your iPhone than the computers that flew a space ship to the moon.

Apps are disappearing from my phone after being updated. I have lost txt, banking,camera?

After a App update is downloaded it is disappearing from my phone. Any help?

They can be found in your on screen App and your Widget folder, simply tap your folder to open and touch and drag your app icon back to the correct screen location. You can also check all of your apps from your app device manager.

All of my photos are missing from time machine after Apple Genius Bar factory reset my macbook

I backed up my MacBook to Time Machine so that the Apple Genius Bar could factory reset my MacBook. It was running slow and I wanted everything deleted, so I could add back just photos and music. When I tried to find the iPhoto Library pictures on the time machine they were missing. Has anyone else had this problem? I have lost all my photos since I got the computer in 2008.

What I assume happened is they erased and installed the MacintoshHD partition which includes all accounts, files and OS X.
You now have a new account or the same name, but it's actually different and can't access your files because they belong to the previous account.
I think your supposed to use Migration Assistant in your Applications > Utilties folder, then transfer the account to the machine. You log into the account and can transfer files via the Dropbox to the new user account.
Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine
Once the files are transferred you can delete the old account.
Next time if you just want certain files returned, use a normal external storage drive instead, then you can simply Get Info and "Ignore permissions on this volume" (aka external drive) return those certian files and do a #6 Repair Users Permissions to set the ownership to your new account.

Here you are "the strange draft logos"...

Already purchased apps vanished from "Purchased" list in app store. How do I get them back without buying them again?

I had a problem with my 3GS iphone. At the Genius Bar I was told the phone had to be reinstalled. Since I had backed up the phone I agreed. Afterwards they told me, I should not use the backup but reinstall everything fresh manually. Now I find that several apps that I have used frequently in the past and did pay for are not in my "purchased" list of the App store.
It might have something to do with the fact that the apps I used to use are now optimised for higher iOS. I cannot install iOS7, but the apps that vanished from the list can still be installed. I just dont want to buy everything again.
Does anyone have suggestion how to get back those apps?

You can re download past purchases for free but make sure and use the same Apple ID and password.

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful
