Crash during sync, now all my apps are gone.

My laptop and iphone crashed during a sync. Laptop would lock up as soon as the phone was plugged in, and the phone started random reboots and freezes.
I reinstalled WinXP and itunes on the laptop, but still could not sync. The phone would come up "sync in progress", but then nothing happened. Left it sit overnight, and sync still would never complete.
Restored the phone to factory settings, and now everything seems fine. Only problem is that all of my downloaded apps are gone. I can see the history where I purchased them in the itunes store but they are not in itunes. If I try to reload them it wants me to pay for them again. Is there any way to recover previously purchased apps?

You can re-download purchased apps for free. Click on buy, click yes to I want to purchase, another popup will appear, you have already purchased, do you want to re-download, click yes.

  • I restored my phone from a previous back up and now all my apps are gone. Any idea on how to get them back?

    I had liquid damage to my phone and had to receive a new one so I went home to restore it to its old settings from my back up on 5/8/11. I've had an iphone since 2008 so I have a lot of data and apps saved on to my computer, many of which I paid for. When my back up finished all my music, contacts, photos were restored but none of my apps. Can someone please help me get them back? Thank you!

    After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

  • The system upgrade problem: NOW all my apps are gone

    The same problem I'm seeing other people discussing, the screen has the iTunes hookup graphic.  I hooked it up to my mothership iMac, it forced me through some restore iPad process, which FINALLY worked.  And now the iPad has not one of the dozens of apps we've installed in the last 7 months.

    I had the same problem. It's really aggravating. I don't know what is going on. Some info was saved after restore, but my apps and music was gone. I did sync-before my restore. What a big headache! The only reason I did a restore in the first place is because none of me apps would open.I had to restore, then one problem became another....I lost my apps and music. Now I have to view my "purchase history" to get my stuff back.

  • HT201210 I just downloaded ios7, but now all my apps are gone. What can I do?

    I downloaded IOS7, but I lost all of my purchased apps and most of my music.  The only apps on the phone are the ones it came with.  Is there any way to get them back?

  • I just updated my iPad to the newest software, but now all my apps are gone.

    I saw the apps transfer to my computer in iTunes; how can I get them back to my iPad?

    Unfortunately - no there isn't. Safari uses tabs in iOS 5. If you are so inclined, the iCab Mobile browser still offers the thumbnail view. I use iCab mobile all the time. IMO it is far superior to Safari.
    Get the hang of iOS 5 and using Safari with tabs and it may not bother you at all. Some users just hate the fact that thumbnails went away in iOS 5 and you can keep iCab Mobile in mind if you really want thumbnails back.

  • Clean install... and now all my apps are gone!

    I just did a clean install on my MBP and planning on doing a new Time Machine-backup over my old one (thus in fact deleting the old Time Machine). I haven't yet restored my user folder and documents (they're safe). Obviously my iPhone apps aren't restored in the user folder and documents.
    I have so many apps... how can I get all of them back on iTunes?
    I haven't connected my iPhone 4 to my MBP yet, afraid it'll synchronize the new state over the old one and thus lose everything!

    heres what to do:
    1. hook up your phone to your MBP
    2. In itunes right click on your phone in the bar on the left
    3. choose transfer purchases.
    this will transfer your apps back to your computer

    how can i get my apps back

    Hey ramsrocket,
    To get back those apps, follow these directions:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark.

    WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
    We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • Just installed 7.0.2 and all my apps are gone... What to do now?

    Just installed 7.0.2 and all my apps are gone....what to do now?????

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
