Help! Lost Apps

I just erased my entire computer contents, after saving the files i needed. I completed an erase and install of Tiger but now I realize that iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band and maybe other apps are missing. I only have 24 in the Apps folder. I do want to buy the new version of iLife, but for now i would prefer to have my apps back. Please help.

Not to give you an unsolicited lecture, but unless you are having serious software issues or replace te hard drive, there is rarely a reason for a Mac user to do an erase and install. This is not Windows after all.
What you will need is a copy of Pacifist to pull those apps of your original install disks to install on your Mac again. The iLife apps and all other apps that came with your Mac are on those original disks.

  • Help lost apps but there in itunes

    i did the update on my iphone which then lost my apps. i have gone into itunes they are all there but it states they are under a different apple id which is incorrect is there any way of getting these back i am ready to smash my phone ha ha

    Try all of these things and see if any of them solve your issue.
    First check your side switch above the volume rocker. Try flipping it the other way. If your apps have sound you have set the side switch to mute system sounds.
    If that didn't do it. Double tap your home button and the recent apps appear at the bottom of the iPad. In that area at the bottom, swipe to the right and you will see the iPod icon on the right side and a speaker icon on the left side. Tap the speaker icon to turn on your system sounds.
    You can change the side switch to lock your screen or to mute system sounds. Go to settings>General>Set side switch to and select lock rotation or mute sound.
    Finally if either of these don't work try resetting your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Lost apps like (settings, camera, pictures etc.)

    II've lost apps on my ipad that you can't normally erase!! I have also lost apps like twitter, spodify, and yotube! I don't know what happened. The apps such as Youtube and spodify etc were white and so I tried turning off my iPad and turning it back on. Then when I turned it back on the apps were totally gone! I don't know how to get them back and I can't updare my ipad if that's whats needed!! Any help?!? Please?!?!?

    Hello Need_helpp
    Start with searching on your iPad by pulling down when at your Home Screen and type Settings to pull it up. Then check to see if any restrictions are turned on that maybe causing the Apps to be hidden. If all is good, then you will need to restore your iPad by following the steps in the last article.

    i have just updated to the latest ios 5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on my ipad?

    There is no need to do that, I had the same problem pal! Just do this and all should be fine!
    Delete one of the app's and re-install it, then for some reason everythign is restored to as it was!
    Hope you get on fine, let me know!

  • I synced with a new computer. Lost apps, reinstalled, had docu in an office2HD app when reinstalled, but will not cut and paste?

    I synced with a new computer, lost apps. Reinstalled and office2HD had all docs still in, but now I can not get the cut and paste feature to work? Also had problems with Gmail account and deleted and created new, so not sure I can download the app a 3rd time?

    Two ways.
    - You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
    Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
    All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
    - Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

  • How do I get credit on lost apps?

    Recently had to replace my dead iPhone 3Gs. (last night). After restoring it from a back up (PC iTunes updated) I have lost a dozen or so paid apps. I looked over my acct and it shows the history of downloads and payments. I asked the Apple Genius rep lastnight beforehand about this-- he mentioned Apple would refund my account for lost apps. If so can someone point me in the right direction on how to get this done?

    You won't get a refund. Once you've paid for an app, you can redownload it free of charge as long as it's to the same iTunes account.
    In your case, simply redownload those lost apps. It appears you might need to be repurchase, but at the final step it will say that you've already purchased the app and do you wish to download.

  • Lost apps after upgrade to 5.0.0.591

    Like many on this forum, I had the upgrade to 5.0.0.591 pushed to me by Verizon.  In general, I have not had nearly as many problems as many have reported on this forum, but I have lost a couple of apps including Audible player and Shazaam.  Are there any known fixes to these apps?  Details below:
    My Blackberry Tour 9630 recently updated itself to a new OS version.  I am now running v 5.0.0.591 (Bundle 1002, Platform 4.2.0.272).  In the process of the upgrade, it seemed to break the Audible player (version 1.4.12) that had been working fine up to that point.  It is now listed as "Unavailable" in the applications list.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.  Additionally, Shazaam Encore 2.5.1 will no longer run.
    Any suggestions that you might have would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Stu Rich

    Stu,
    I too have lost apps when I upgraded from version 4.7 to version 5.0.  Ddi you find out if they are trying to fix it?
    Thanks,

  • Lost apps store icon

    Lost app store icon on iPod touch4

    - Have you used the Spotlign search to find it?  Maybe you just can't find it.
    - Is it hdden by Restrictions?  Go to Settingds>General>Restrictions to check.  If it asks for a passcode you have Restrictions set.
    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

    After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

    apps are stored in
    C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
    their extensions are .Ipa  you can try doing a search on your harddisk
    unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
    but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
    about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems

  • HT201272 Lost apps after software update

    Has anyone lost apps when they downloaded the new software? I had a magazine subscription which I now don't have since updating my iPad.

    They should be in the iTunes library on your computer.  Connect the device and sync what you would like to the device.
    The only time I've heard of apps not re-appearing on a device after an update is when a user interrupts the upgrade process.  Have you tried a restore of the device using the backup created just prior to the update?

  • Help with App-World PLEASE

    I bought a second-hand Blackberry Curve 8520 today, and called my provider, Virgin asking them if they could help with App-World, they left me on hold for nearly 30 minutes so I hung up. I have got my BBM sorted, but when I try to use the App World it says that it is having trouble connecting to the Blackberry App World Server and that I should verify my network connections. I have no idea what this means and really need help.
    Thank you
