Did backup before restore and my Apps are gone.

Yesterday I updated my Ipad. I made SURE to do the backup first.
It said backing up ect....when It asked to restore from backup I said
yes...and?....none of my purchase apps appear on my pc, and are gone
from the Ipad.
Really *****.

This doesn't help with the restore process frustration (yike!), however to regain your apps: you can re-"buy" your apps from the App Store. iTunes will recognize that you've already bought the app (even though the "installed" message doesn't appear in the Store) and prompt as to whether you're sure you want to re-download the same app. Select OK, and the app will be re-installed.
I was lucky; I only lost one app during my last update process, and I received the above instructions from iTunes Support. I'm sure you're not looking forward to replacing all of your apps this way, though, and it would be nice to know why iTunes seems to randomly decide that it's not giving you back an app or 100.

However, if the apps and the music were not in your iTunes library they would be erased from the iPod as part of the update and would not be readded to the iPod since music and the apps themselves are not part of the backup but are synced to the iPod.

Did backup, restored and all Notes are gone

I did a sync and then performed a restore. I seem to recall an update might have been done during the restore. None of the notes in the NOTES app are there now. Had some very important notes of meetings there.
I have done a soft reboot. Notes was not set up to sync to Mail. All of the other Apple apps were successfully restored. Only my NOTES app came back with nothing restored. I've tried iPhone Backup Extractor but the instructions I followed were for a jailbroken iPod. Messed with Disk Aid 4.12 but could not figure it out either. Can these lost notes somehow be transferred to my iPod Touch?? Anybody have a solution? Certainly would be appreciated.

You guys talking about nots in Mail or the Stickies?
If in Mail, open Mail, click on the Notes mail box to display the Notes list. If the Notes mail box is gone, just create a new note and the Notes MB will be back. Once in the Notes MB, launch TimeMachine (assuming you have one) and go back in time until your notes reappear. Select all and click 'Restore'.

HT201272 Updated and now apps are gone

I updated my iPhone to ver 6 and now all of my apps have gone, in fact i don't even have a 'purchased' tab in my apps store. Anybody got any ideas?

Sign out/In on your device.

The camera and facebook apps are gone.

I must have deleted these apps that came loaded (camera and facebook)? I s there any way to get them back? I did a restore but did not work.

This is not a problem of "do I have to reset or restore my iPhone to get my apps back?"
The real problem is "can I get my apps back without having to restore my iPhone to it's latest iPhone backup" and I guess that's a no. Thanks for all the help.

Updated to IOS 5 and my apps are gone and I cant manually put them back on

i updated my 4th gen iPod touch to IOS 5 and it wiped most of the apps from my ipod. On itunes it shows that they are they but they won't show on my ipod. I tried to manually add them back on with the app store and it says that it is already installed??? Help????

i had the same problem and i had to completely restart my ipod. when you plug it into the computer go on itunes and click on your ipod icon. THe ipod menu should be there (summary) click on the restore button. it worked for me, all the best i hope it works for you.

If this fails, then reset your iphone and try again.

You are using the same iTunes account that you downloaded them with, and you haven't moved countries since downloading them ? You could check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

Either sync them back from from your iTunes library, or redownload them (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

I upgraded my 3rd gen iTouch to iOS 5.1.1 and now its speed to repond is slower and the battery goes flat quicker than before the upgrade. Skype, Sky iCloud and other apps are turned off (I think). Has anybody else suffered with this? Any ideas?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

I just updated my iPad to OS5 and all of my apps are gone. What did I do wrong and how can I get them back? Several were paid for. Thanks

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

Backup - restore and missing app

Hi,
I upgraded from IOS4 to IOS5 during this progress I was prompted "backup your Iphone?" yes to my Mac airbook external drive.
After upgrades I was missing all (notes,pictures adresser etc)
I tried to restore but Itunes only pop´s up an older backup.
Where can I find the newest backup?
secondly
I miss a App (100 dollar) where can I find this without repurchacing?

I had a 'glitch' during a power outage that required me to restore from the backup. The app folders appeared only where a website shortcut had been stored in the folder. After investigating what got restored and what didn't, I attempted a second restore from backup (no sync operation attempted). The results were the same. I'm actually glad the results were the same in some respects since it indicates a consistent (but incomplete) backup/restore operation. Note, even the folders that did get recreated (with website shortcuts) did not have their apps correctly restored, there appeared to be no pattern to what happen.
To the persons who did the 'double restore'; how many apps do you have on your iPhone?. Was it less than the iOS 3 limit of 180 (including Apple Apps)? I have about 300 apps which means they don't 'fit', without folders, within the 180 app limit. I'm thinking that the double backup worked since you had less than the 180 app limit, but I'm not sure without knowing the number of apps you have.
The unanswered question is: Does iTunes backup the app folder configuration and can it correctly restore the folder configuration (apps correctly placed in folders)? Since I had the glitch iTunes has been upgraded twice (if I recall). Did the upgrades fix the app folder issue? I don't really want to be the one to test this since it takes hours to rebuild the folder/app configuration.
Thanks for any help.

I upgraded the iphone software to 4.2.8 and none of the purchased apps would open. I then restored the software and now all those apps are GONE. How do I get them back?

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.
