How do I get my apps back on the iPad after OS upgrade?

I upgraded to OS 5 and all my apps are now gone from my iPad. I can see them all in iTunes and all the data/photos are on the iPad, but none of the apps. How do I restore or transfer the apps back to my iPad? Help!

Understood, I do the same, but only as a backup since I no longer synch the iPad to iTunes which is not an unusual situation for iOS users these days. The implications of the origianl post are that the poster is looking to download directly to the iPad. No way of knowing since that user posted in Oct of last year and probably hasn't been back since.

How do I get my Apps back on my iPad after I restored it?

I hads to restore my iPad after disabling it accidentally. I did a full restore but can't get my Apps back. I've followed the restore and back up instructions on Apple Support, and have synched between my PC and iPad, and tried to access them via my iTunes account, but still no success?
Any further suggestions?
Thanks

Assuming you've set up your Apple ID correctly at Settings > iTunes & App Stores:
Have you tried opeing the App Store, clicking "Updates" on the bottom, then "Purchased"?
You should be able to download the apps from there.
Caution: Only download one app at a time!

How do I get game data back on the iPad after being sent a replacement?

I took my iPad into a shop for repair and they replaced it. Before I took it I backed it up to iTunes. When I got my replacement I synced my iPad with iTunes and got all my apps back. Only problem is I've lost all my game data. My achievements are on game centre. How do I get the game data back? Also I bought extra levels on a game and they have disappeared to? Can anyone help?

You should have restored from the backup before you synced the iPad. If iTunes created a new backup when you synced, the old backup may have been overwritten and the data may be gone.
Without connecting the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see a backup in that window from the day that you backed up the iPad before you sent it out to be replaced? If you do have a backup from that days, you can try restoring from that backup. While you are still in that window, click on the box that says - prevent iPods, iPhones .... From syncing automatically. Click OK. Quit iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad under devices and select Restore From Backup. Select that backup from the window that pops up and restore from it. Then sync with iTunes.
You can turn Auto sync back on in the prefers when you are done.

Where did the music come from? From iTunes on you computer? If it came from iTunes on your computer, sync with iTunes to recover the music.
iOS: Syncing with iTunes - Support - Apple
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If the music does not exist in iTunes on your computer, download it again using the same ID that you used to purchase it with.

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.

If the apps are not on your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Transfer Purchases prior to starting the update ?), then you could try downloading them to your computer (re-downloading) and then restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

Updated iPad system how do I get my apps back onto my iPad from iTunes. Ikerfuffled here

I just updated my iPad to IOS 5. How do I get my apps that were on my iPad back into it from iTunes? thank you for any help you may give me.

Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, select your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under "devices", click on the Apps tab in the window on the right, click on the sync apps heading, click sync or apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
After you sync the apps onto the iPad, you can choose to sync over WiFi. Click on the summary tab of iTunes and then click on the button - Sync this iPad over WiFi - then click apply in the lower right corner.
You can sync automatically with iTunes over Wifi when the iPad is plugged into a power source, iTunes is running on your computer and the iPad is locked. You can sync manually as well in Settings>General>iTunes WiFi Sync - tap the arrow and then tap sync now in the next window

How do I get my apps back on my ipod after I update the ipod?

How do I get all of my apps back after I update my ipod touch, the warning box says they will all be removed from the ipod during the update process? Thank you , I am new to this

You should be transferring all apps purchased on the ipod to your computer regularly, especially before any update.
If you have failed to do this, then do so now. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You then sync them to the ipod from your computer.

How do I get my apps back on my iphone after the new update.

I can't get my apps from Itunes back on my phone. How do I get them back?

No I do not have multiple pages. There are only two pages, and the second one only has two icons on it. My apps are only in the store, and I want them on the home screen.

After upgrading my ipad how do i get my apps back in my ipad

Apps deleted

I like your answer and tried it but had two thigns happen. I hope that you can help me since no one else has jumped in.
1. When I went to select the apps, I wanted all three pages but could only do one's worth so how do you do multiple pages of apps?
2. I went to the page of apps that had been synced and only a few work now. They ALL show up in the open apps area at the bottom.
Here was my original post:
I had been using pdf Comrade and Finale Music's Song book apps just fine with my iPad but now something is not working. I recently delected and added some items to my pdf Comrade and did a sync in iTunes but now clicking on either of these apps in my iPad get nothing but a shaking reaction and no items. These show up in my open docs at the bottom but nothing will show up on the iPad. I have not ptut anything in either app for a awhile and may have forgotten how to sync these. I recalled that a full sync was not needed. I guess I forgot how to do this. Thanks.

How do I get my data back on the phone after upgrade?

Say I'm replacing my phone with a 3GS, how does iTunes tie the data it has to the phone, is it by the phone # on the SIM card?
I want to make sure all my data, apps etc. gets back on the phone, what process do I need to follow?

All iTunes content they you have selected to be transferred to your existing iPhone - music/video/podcasts including 3rd party apps remain in your iTunes library on your computer. Photos transferred to your existing iPhone via the iTunes sync process also remain on your computer.
If you are syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, this data also remains on your computer.
You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library and iTunes account with each device having its own sync settings.
When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone that has been synced with iTunes. After the backup for your existing iPhone is transferred to your new iPhone, this must be followed by a sync to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps and any photos on your computer selected to be transferred to your iPhone. You select sync contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal under the Info tab for your new iPhone sync preferences and this data will be transferred to your new iPhone.
