Downloaded new update and lost all my apps????

Any idea why Apple would design a software update that completely erases all the paid apps I downloaded.   Any idea how to fix?

.... O yes, and if you don't have a backup, login on the mobile device with your itunes store account, and "App Store" - Updates shows you everything you ever bought for redownload.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • Cant buy anything off the app store and lost all my apps after update

    Hello, im having a problem with my iphone 4, i couldnt buy anything off the App store so i decided it would fix my problem. i was wrong there it only caused more problems after the update. i lost all my apps and i still have the same problem with my app store.
    I can open the app store but whenever i try to touch the (Free) button nothing happens, also when ever i go to the category section it shows me a bunch of random apps and i cant go back to pick a different category. please help!

    I bet you still have your apps on your computer. Sync the apps onto your phone from there. If they arent on your computer, download them on.

  • I downloaded iso5 and lost all my apps which i know i can get back but one of them is pages so i have lost all my documents ! How do i get them back?

    I downloaded iso5 and lost all my apps. I know i can get them back but what about all the documents i have now lost through Pages? And to a lesser extent the levels and scores i got to with my games (eg. angry birds)?

    On your iPad tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Apps is switched on.
    For Documetns tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Documents & Data ia switched on.
    Now resrtart your iPad.    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I had to reinstall a harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps, where can I get a new Apple Works?

    I had to reinstall a failed harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps.  Where can I get Apple Works?

    Allan:
    It did not work on my SL Mac Mini and I am sure you will have the same results.
    I need to find a quick and easy download PPC application for someone on this forum who is having problems in Snow Leopard and I want to rule out that it is PPC that is the problem.  I had suggested he download Appleworks for this purpose; ooooops!
    Can you think of a quick and dirty PPC app to download?
    Yes, he has Rosetta installed...
    I am almost positive that the problem is that his game was released in 2003 when OS X was 10.2.x and it just will NOT function in Snow Leopard without some patch or upgrade.
    I am getting my hands on a copy of this game tomorrow, so I will go down that path for him, too!

    Your apps will only be where you put them.  if you failed to put them on your computer beore updating, then they would certainly be gone.
    You can redownload them:

  • Recently downloaded new software and now all of my wife's contacts appear in my contacts. How do I change this?

    Recently downloaded new software and now all of my wife's contacts appear in my contacts. How do I change this?

    I suggest creating a separate AppleID for iCloud for each individual and using the same one for iTunes. By having a separate one for iCloud you can keep your contacts separated, have more iCloud storage (5 gigs each instead of sharing 5 gigs) and each have your own iMessage contact. Otherwise you both will be able to see each others imessages. You can still use the same AppleID for the iTunes Store to share music and app purchases. The iPhone "Settings" has different location for inputting your iCloud and iTunes AppleID.

  • Updated to iOS 4.2 and lost all my Apps

    Hello,
    So I have had a series of unfortunate events that have lead up to me losing all my apps. I use a PC which died last week (I am in the midst of trying to get in running). This week, iOS 4.2 is released, so I use a different computer to perform the update. During the process, it appears to be backing up, etc. However after 2-3 hours for the whole process, I find my iPad has lost all the apps (and associated data, i.e. documents, music, movies, etc) that were previously stored on my iPad. Most of my apps are free, however I do have a fair number of apps that were not.
    I'd probably not be quite as upset as I am if not for the aforementioned death of my PC, and now this. And at this point, I don't have a way of recovering anything. Is there anyway to at least get my apps back?

  • Ran the new update and now all apps are waiting.

  • I set my 3gs up as a new phone and lost all off my contacts is there a way of getting them back?

    Well i was told by an apple guy at the store to restore my phone as a new one to remove al bugs. so i did and lost all of my contacts so i am trying to find out if i can find my contacts somewhere on my computer so i can re-enter them.

    If you had previously configured to sync Contacts with outlook, google or yahoo contacts, you can do the same to recover your contacts.
    Otherwise two options:
    Restore from backup. Right click your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane and select 'Restore from Backup'. Pick the old backup date and restore.  But then this will bring back your old issue you had on your iPhone.
    The other option is to use a third party software to extract info from your backup folder. 
    iPhone Backup Extractor, you can download a free version with limited capability of a paid Registered version: 
    http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
    Here are locations of your backup folder.
    Win7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
    Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mobile Sync\Backup
    Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
