Getting preinstalled apps back on iTouch (without syncing)

I recently had to reset my iPod for some issues that i was having with it (I got those resolved), but I had some apps were free (limited time, otherwise they are paid), but I forgot to sync my iTouch before I reset it (I didn't buy anything between the last syncing to the reset) now those apps that I had that were free now need to be paid, but because I previously installed them with my iTunes account _is it possible that I can get those apps that I had for free again even though that they have a price tag on them?_

Restoring deletes everything. Settings, etc. are restored from backup; iTunes content (music, videos, apps) must be re-synced. As long as your computer is authorized (logged into) the same iTunes Store account used to download the apps, everything will be restored after the sync. You may need to go through the tabs (Music, Applications, etc.) and re-check boxes to sync them; I have noticed they are sometimes unchecked after a Restore.

My ipod touch was recently stolen. is it possible to get the songs back i had without syncing to a computer as that is fried also?

Does itunes keeps track of all the songs that you buy from the itunes store?

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, not good, then you can reownload some purchases in some countries

Can i get my app back without having to buy it again?

I bought an app then 2 days later my phone messed and I had to restore it. Can I get my app back without having to buy it again?

For step-by-step details, see:

Once you get the app back, make sure you sync your iPhone to your computer so the app (and anything else you've purchased from the iTunes Store via your iPhone) get synched to your computer, then make a backup of your purchases. That way you're protected in case you ever lose anything again (which can be a problem if an app is ever removed from the iTunes Store and you don't have a backup).

I have an iTunes account with music. My wife has an iTunes account with apps. How do I get both on our iPad2? Without syncing to just one account?

Without syncing to just one account?
We each have our own laptops.

Hmm.
Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

I bought a book on itunes on my pc. I want the book on my ipad. When I plugged in my ipad to sync it moved all my apps to my pc - useless. how do i get my apps back on my ipad and get the book from my computer to my ipad?

Instructions on syncing your iPad can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12311
and in the accompanying documents linked from that page. Syncing your iPad with iTunes copies items, it doesn't move them. The only way apps would be actually removed from your iPad during syncing is if you had iTunes set to remove them on syncing, so check the appropriate settings in iTunes, set the book to sync as well, and then sync the iPad again.

I accidentally deleted iPhoto on my mac and it says the the app was downloaded with a different apple id and now i can't get the app back without paying $14.99

Did you install it yourself are somebody else for you?
If you installed them yourself, but do not remember which AppleID you used, try all AppleIDs you might have used in turn.
If somene else set up your Mac for you, ask the person to reinstall it. If you bought the mac second hand, the previous owner needs to contact Apple to transfer the iLife apps. If that is not possible, delete the apps that you cannot update and buy them using your AppleID.

I accidentally deleted all my apps and music. I can re-download the music but don't know how to get the apps back without buying them again. Any thoughts?

Replacing iPod - when I sync, will I get my apps back?

My iPod Touch 4th gen. got totally destroyed and I am getting a "new" one, same gen. When I sync, will I get my apps back? What about at least the ones I bought?

If the apps are in iTunes on your computer now, then yes, you'll get them back. Or you can probably re-download them from the iTunes Store:

If you want the app data back, you'll want to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

Thank you from San José del Cabo México

Normally when you connect a new iPhone to your computer iTunes will recognize it as a new iPhone and ask you how would you like to set it up. If you didn't get that screen then you may have used the iPhone prior. If it didn't then try deleting all data then connect the iPhone 4 to the computer and it should go to the iPhone setup screen where it will give you the opportunity to setup your iPhone as a new device (the name of your old iPhone should be in the name box). If that don't happen then do this, keep your iPhone connected to the computer, launch iTunes then click on the iPhone icon in the left window then click on the app tab on the main window make sure all of the app have a check in the check box, also check all of your other tabs then re-sync.

How do i get my apps back on my phone

I recently backed my iphone up on my computer and had to update my software. Now I can't figure out how to get my apps back on my phone.

plug in your phoneand when it shows up hit restore. then restore from your most recent sync backup. that should put you right. if it doesn't then restore from the one previous to the last.

AT&T just "helped"me and wiped my phone. how do I get my apps back?

Really two questions here: what happened to my phone, and how do I get my apps back.'
1. yesterday, my phone started showing the "connect to itunes" and emergency call only screen. I saw some advice in the forums about connecting it to a computer, but had never done so, so didn't think it applied to me. What caused this to happen??
2. I called AT&T, who had me download itunes on my work computer (can't get up the stairs to home computer after knee surgery, specifically asked if this would damage anything on my phone and was told no. after downloading latest itunes and connecting to this computer, all my apps, photos, contacts, everything is gone. Is there anything I can do to get that stuff back? Kids' 8th bday phontos on there...
TIa,

Not sure what happened but whatever happened was a major problem if the only option was connecting your iPhone to iTunes which requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes.

AT&T handles problems with their network, which the problem with your iPhone had nothing to do with. It would have been better to call AppleCare for this instead.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only.
When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will occur - the first warning message provided is your iPhone has been synced with an iTunes library on a different computer.
An exception to the warning message provided would be if restoring an iPhone with iTunes is required, which apparently was the case in your situation. Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. If this is done with the computer you normally sync your iPhone with, you have the option to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup which must be followed by a sync to re-transfer your selected iTunes content and any photos from your computer to your iPhone. None of this data is available with the computer used to restore your iPhone.

Can you get an app back that has been deleted

ididnt back up my phone yet and i had a video recorder app on my iphone and my 2 year old erased the app and i have now lost all the videos since she was born is there any way to get the app back or the vidoes that were recorded

If it's not in your iTunes library and you've not synced the phone, I'm afraid you can kiss this stuff goodbye. App data is stored in two places: on your phone, and in the iPhone backup. I was taking a chance that by re-downloading the app directly to your phone, the app data "might" re-appear...really depends on how the app was coded. But, that's not possible, given what you've posted.

Getting my apps back for free?

So, time ago (like a month or two) my iPod got stolen (4th generation touch if that makes any difference), unfortunately for myself, I didn't get a chance to back up my last transactions on iCloud/iTunes, so all the apps that I bought (like games and such) are now gone. Now that I got myself an iPhone 5, I was wondering if there is a way for me to get my apps back without having to pay for them a second time.

Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.
