Downloaded app, laptop crashed before sync to ipohone

as title says I DL two apps, one was a pay app. I did not sync to my iphone and a few days later the computer crashed (non realated to the apps) and I had to reformat how can I recover the Apps I paid for?

Once you've got your computer re-installed and re-loaded iTunes you just re-sign in with iTunes using your Apple ID authorise the computer and re-download them again, you don't get charged twice.

  • All downloaded apps immediately crash

    Apps I have downloaded:
    Urbandspoon
    Now Playing
    AIM
    Ebay
    Sudoku
    Hanoi
    Labyrinth LE
    Cube RUnner
    Tap Tap
    Cannon Game
    hangman
    None of these apps work. They worked when I downloaded them and they slowly stopped working. When ever I try to launch one it crashes after about half a second and goes back to the desktop. I just installed the latest update for the iphone, v2.0.2 I think it is and thats when all this started happening...at least I think. I was having problems with apps crashing before I installed the update. Just the update started making things crash constantly, instead of only sometimes.

    My downloaded Apps have been like that for over a week now. I just learned to live without them while waiting for Apple's fix. Steve Jobs announced a few days ago that iPhone 2.1 firmware will fix the problem, so I was hopeful.
    Today, I downloaded iTune 8 and iPhone 2.1 and sync my phone. The apps still failed as before. Now, I know that 2.1 has faster sync, so I simply unchecked the Apps in iTune, sync'ed to the phone. Then I checked the Apps again in iTune, and sync'ed one more time to the phone. i.e. one sync to remove them, the next sync to put them back. Now, the apps are working again.
    This trick was not viable when each sync take 12+ hours to finish. Now the 2.1 firmware fixed the slow sync problem, we have an option.
    Hope this works for you.

  • Hi I got iPhone 4 been getting apps today went to get an app and won't let me even free ones have to sign in then sign in again for billing info it's all correct but still won't download apps had problem before fixed it but won't work again

    iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work  info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

  • What to do following PC motherboard crash before syncing iPhone?

    Situation:
    PC + iPhone 4 synched using iTunes. Synch was relatively current before crash, but not completely up to date. Most importantly, some new and revised contacts.
    iPhone 4 also synched with iCloud. However, my contacts are _not_ backed up on iCloud due to the duplicate contact creation problem. (Mail and Notes are also not synced but they are all OK on the iPhone so not an issue.)
    PC motherboard crashed but hard drive not damaged. Virtually all files were fully backed up and I have secured a complete recovery of all c:\user files as well as all c:\program data files. (Other files are obtainable with additional work.)
    iPhone contained some but not all iTunes music files (wouldn't all fit - always used manually designated content), so couldn't be used for a complete restore. Instead, I restored all the iTunes music and podcast files (that's all I really have) by importing the files from external drive to new PC using "copy" mode so all files were copied onto the PC. After some cleanup, iTunes music and podcast files appear to be OK.
    I restored all contacts from external drive to new PC. New PC is Windows 7 Home Premium whereas old PC was Vista Home Premium, but contacts seem to be OK. Some additional contacts are on the iPhone and some were changed. I would like to recover those, however there is no great loss there if I can't.
    There are photos and videos taken on iPhone but they are all still there on the iPhone. All prior photos and videos were put into my PC collection and I wiil recover those separately.
    I have set iTunes Preferences to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically, so I can control it when I connect again.
    Questions:
    1) What else if anything do I need to do before syncing my iPhone to iTunes again?
    2) When I re-sync to iTunes, will the PC contacts or the iPhone contacts control, or will they be nicely updated to whatever is the most current?
    3) Will everything be OK with music and podcasts? (I think so.)
    4) Should I do anything with the iCloud backup or just let it continue to backup in the normal manner? (I think the later.)
    Thank you!!

    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3763.  Also, if you can't turn it on and you don't have a backup there's no way to save your data.  You can do a reset without losing data.  With it plugged into the charger, hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Removal of apps from iphone before syncing

    While I've trolled through various threads I must confess to being completely confused as to why itunes wants to delete all my apps or music from my iphone if I want to add a new song, ringtone or whatever.  It seems that once removed I am able to reinstall later.
    Seems so illogical to have to do that everytime one wants to add something to my iphone.
    I'm hoping someone can tell me that I'm missing something and it can't be as bad as I'm saying.   Because if it is this bad then despite loving the iphone I will be strongly tempted to go Android where one can just drag and drop.

    Nancy ...
    The apps that run om your 3G (which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1) may not run on your iPhone iOS 6.
    On your iPhone 5 open the App Store then locate one of the apps that didn't sync.

  • Old laptop crashed, tried syncing it into new one but half my songs disappeared. No I got a new ipod and another new laptop. How do i get back my lost songs and make sure it all ends up on my new ipod?

    I had a laptop that had over 2,000 songs in my library but it crashed and my ipod could only hold a little over 1000. Later, when I got my new laptop, I synced my ipod to it only to have all my songs disappear. I did the itunes media folder thing and only got about half of my songs back (some from CDs, some from the itunes store and some from amazon downloads). I hadto get a newhard drive for my laptop and now i have a new ipod. So how can I getback my old songs and then get ALL of my songs tranfered to my new ipod?

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
    Bye.

  • Bought App, lost Iphone before sync, now what?

    On my Iphone I bought a couple apps. I then lost the Iphone before I could sycn with my computer (because It is a particularly difficult process syncing it with my computer). I got my old Iphone up and running but I want those apps I paid for back. Is their a way I can get them back without having to rebuy them? I tried the "check for purchased" button in Itunes but that doesn't seem to work for apps.
    It would be ridiculous for Itunes not having the ability to check my account to see if I bought it and re-download it onto my computer (and then sync it with my iphone).

    Since it is an app, you can download it again for free. Pretend to buy it again, and the last screen will show a price button that is marked FREE.
    Just an FYI, this only works for apps. Music and videos have different laws about copyrights, and you definitely would have to BUY music and videos again. They pay for each download so it's not unlimited free downloads. It's the same at other online stores such as amazon, rhapsody, napster, walmart, etc.
    My advice is to not buy stuff from your phone - only buy from a PC and make sure to BACK UP THE FILES.

  • Downloaded apps sometimes crash

    From times to times my apps crash without a reason.. Now it happend after the connection with my computer.. The problem with the app is only with apps which are downloaded.

  • Change reader app and choose reader app from iTunes before sync

    Anyone knows how to change reader app for a pdf file?
    It seems if I've chosen one app to open a pdf then my file's stuck there for good
    Also is there any way to choose which app to open a book in my iTunes to be sync'ed to my iPad?
    What happens right now is if I add a file to my iTunes andsync to my iPad then it goes immediately to iBooks, while it can only be readwith other DMR-supported app
    Thanks a ton in advance!

    It's not possible to delete it. It CAN be disabled via restrictions, as can installing apps.
    Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • Can you download apps recently purchased before?

    I am researching the ipad nad plan on making a purchase in the next few days and am wondering if I can get imovie that I bought on my phone onto my ipad without paying for it again.

    Yes. In the case of iMovie, it is an app design for both iOS formats. Others may not be, and while they will run on the iPad, they may display in a small format. That will NOT be a problem with iMovie.
    The above assumes you are using the same AppleID.

  • Help! iTunes auto-downloading apps I don't use anymore

    I don't want iTunes to re-download Broken Sword and Asphalt 5 for the iPad/iPhone.  My iTunes is sync'd with my Dropbox and it wastes like a GB of space between the two of them.  I have it unchecked in the store section of iTunes to automatically download apps.  But after syncing my iPhone they start to download EVERY TIME.  Drives me nuts.  I've deleted, unchecked the box that says to auto download, etc.  I don't have them on my devices either.  I will never ever play those games again even though I paid for them.  What can I do to have it quit doing that?

    try sending an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there to remove the item(s) from your download queue.

  • Downloaded apps not starting after splash screens

    I've had this device for about a month.
    I recently paid the $10 to upgrade the software to version 3.0.
    There are 1.9 free GB on the device.
    I sync it via a Windows Vista machine.
    I have not downloaded any apps through iTunes on the Vista machine. I have downloaded five apps directly onto the device through the App Store. Two of the five were free (New York Times Reader, Skype) and the others I paid for.
    Everything has been working fine until this morning when I tried to open the NYTimes reader. It showed the opening screen, then dropped back to the home screen. The same is happening will all five downloaded apps.
    I tried syncing in iTunes, but none of my downloaded apps is listed in iTunes on my computer. Are they supposed to be there?
    I've seen a few other questions of this nature, but no solution that makes any sense to me.
    I'm pretty surprised to have this happening on a Mac product. I have restarted the device twice, with no change. I have also hooked the device up to my computer and tried to sync it, but I don't see any change. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to try to sync, since I just want these apps to work, but they don't show up on the iTunes app list on my computer.

    have you tried the other troubleshooting steps?

    I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
    This is intensely confusing, sorry.

    Question.....
    "I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
    Answer.....
    Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
    You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.

  • I download apps directly to my iphone.  When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

    I download apps directly to my iphone.  When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

    If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.
