Do i need app store to back up my apps

do i need app store to back up my apps

What do you mean?
If the apps are still available you can always redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

  • How to I get the app store icon back after it has been deleted

    Can anyone help me with how do I get the app store icon back on my ipad after my son deleted it?

    Is your iPad jailbroken?
    Another way is to re sync. I hoped you backed it up, those are your only options!
    Sorry

  • The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

    I have a similar problem and have had this before.
    I rang Apple the first time and they said because I had 2 Apple ID's this can happen so I cancelled one Apple ID (which is another problem and drama in itself) and that resolved the issue.
    I now have the problem again with only one Apple ID so I've transferring purchases from my iPhone and iPad to iTunes. Then I synced again and hoped for the best. Unlucky! Didn't work. Time to call Apple support again...

  • My app store wont let me buy apps

    My app store wont let me buy apps, it says contact apple support. I have logged in and out and restarted my iPhone, nothing works

    If you see a dialog advising you to contact Apple support, then that's what you need to do in order to purchase apps.
    Go here >  https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
    Then click:  Purchases, Billing, & Redemption
    Then click: Unable to purchase from iTunes Store

  • My Apple ID at the Apps store is messed up so. It identifies me by an email address that isn't current--I deleted it because of too much spam. I have a new Apple ID. How may I use it at the App store without losing all the Apps I,ve purchased undert

    Question: I have changed my Pple ID. However The PPS Store insists that the cancelled ID is me, and trying to change either the name or password is an endless circle. The email account name I previously used was, I believe, hacked so I terminated the email account. So, apple no longer shows it.
    Please help me. I want to get back into the App Store without losing all the apps I've purchased.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Did you create a new a new account or just change the email address on your existing account.

  • The App Store will not update my apps. I keep getting An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could resolve this issue?

    My App Store is no longer updating my apps or my OS. I keep getting this message: An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could be the reason for this issue and what will resolve it?

    I believe its an auth error. If you tried signing in and out of the app store and downloading a free app (typical fixes) and it persists, try downloading the updates manually. If youre trying to get the Mountain Lion updates the link for 10.8.1 is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571   and if you already have 10.8.1 and youre trying to update to 10.8.2 the link is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1580 a supplemental update came for the 10.8.2 which can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1600
    Like I said before, the error isnt that your software or hard drive is corrupt, it has to do with your AppleID authenticating the download, especially because OS updates are part of the Mac App Store. If you know your way around your system libraries or root libraries you can possibly fix it by deleting specific files that may be corrupted, otherwise you're going to want to back up your data and reinstall the OS.
    Good luck!

  • I installed iOs7 on iPad 2 and now when i'm in iBooks and tap "store" i get a blank screen.  Same thing in itunes, itunes u, app store, and a few other apps won't connect.  Safari seems to be working fine.

    I had this same problem.  Tried everything the internet said including a full restore.  Which was terrible.  Nothing worked until.....go to general...reset....reset all settings.
    You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load.  Thanks! 

  • On OSX10.8, friend logged in using his appleID now the app store is trying to update apps I don't have.

    On OSX10.8, friend logged in using his appleID now the app store is trying to update apps I don't have.  How can I clean this up?  I don't see the usual ignore update like I did back on older versions of the OS.  I don't really want to just ignore it I want to clean it all up.  How can I make sure there is nothing under his name or ID on my new laptop?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The MAS doesn't usually offer updates for apps not present or not in your purchased list. Are you sure that the apps are not to be found on a mounted drive or partition, such as a backup?

    Hey Duddy1888,
    Thanks for the question. Try changing your payment information to “None”. If you are unable to select “None” as a payment option, see the following resource:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
    If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
    After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
    Additional Information:
    iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

  • I get but not the app. store in my doc. App. store is not installed, how do I do it for each other? I have my apple software update.

    Hello,
    I get but not the app. store in my dock.
    App. store is not installed, how do I do it for each other?
    I have my apple software update.
    App.store app but after my update is not in the dock and system.
    Kees.

    Hi Kees ...
    Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8
    You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard V10.6 in order to use the App Store. This is an "upgrade", not an "update".
    Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements here.
    You must have the minimum of v10.6.6 installed in order to access the App Store.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard here > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store

  • Mac app store error when downloading small apps

    The mac app store fails to download any app that is 1-7 mb in size. But it works fine with large app downloads

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
