How do I get the original .ipa?

I think I did something stupid, as I am known to do from time to time. I removed an .ipa file from my iTunes Media folder awhile ago, thinking it would delete the app. I guess I forgot and didn't pay attention and have been my merry way. Today I'm bored and playing around in iTunes and I notice that a couple of the Apps in the "Apps" section show up with grey exclamation points. Curious, I right-clicked and selected "Get Info". I received a message saying "The app "XXX" could not be be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Then it dawned on me that I've probably screwed something up.
I search all over my Media folder and did a computer search and I can't find the .ipa in question. So, how do I get it back? Do I delete the app somehow and redownload? Did I just screw myself pretty good? The apps are on my iPod Touch, just apparently not on my computer. Oh, and I am using iTunes 10.
Thanks y'all. Sorry for being such a goof.

Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes and select *File > Transfer purchases from iPod*. If that doesn't work, try deleting the broken entry from the apps folder in iTunes and try again. Otherwise simply attempt to repurchase the app from the iTunes Store with the same account used for the original purchase. You should be able to download the app without charge.

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date  created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

  • The page layouts for a book created in iPhoto are blank. How do I get the original book back?

    I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.7.5, Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Processor 2.53GHz, Intel Core 15. iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3.
    I created an iPhoto book using iPhoto '9 in 2010. I bought the book and now want to buy another book. When I went to iPhoto, I discovered that all of the pages are blank. In the thumbnail for photos in project, the photos that I used are checked. Now I see that other photos for different books also show in the "photos in project" panel. Should I delete these foreign photos? How do I get the original book pages/layout back? Help! Patnd

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • How do I get the original software for my HP Pavilion g7-1329wm Notebook PC

    I recently had a vicious virus that encrypted my pictures and files in my computer; had it removed from the computer and now internet explorer does not operate correctly and I have to use Chrome for browsing.  I was told that I need to get the original software to fix this problem, how do I get this and is there anything else I can do?

    Backup your data.
    To perform a factory restore, repeatedly tap the F11 Key at boot to enter the recovery manager.  Follow the screen prompts.
    If no go, use the recovery disks hopefully you created when you got the computer.  If not and if you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  If not via the WorldWide site: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html
    If HP does not have them, they do at Computer Surgeons:

  • So how can I get the original cd for my iMac

    How can reset my imac

    Your question is how to get the original OS X DVD for your system? In the US, contact Apple support at  (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273) They have them for a nominal fee.  Of course, if you bought a system delivered with OS X 10.7 Lion, there are no OS X DVD's as everything is handled online.
    When you say you want to reset your iMac, you want to wipe the disk clean and reinstall the operating system and iLife? or ?

    This ASSUMES that a previous version has been saved/transported.

  • IPad 1 - Deleted app, tried to reinstall, but later version is only available which does not work on iOS5.  How do I get the original back?

    Deleted App on my iPad 1.  Tried to reinstall - but app has been updated and only works on iOS6 now. 
    Have gone to app store and looked under "purchased", again only the updated app is available which doesn't work on my device. 
    How do I get back the original version which worked on the earlier version of iOS?
    I do not have a copy of the app in iCloud.
    Thanks

    The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

  • Exporting 7 min. video from Aperture and received error.  How can I get the original back?

    I uploaded a video from my iphone 5 into Aperture and then I tried to export it to my desktop.  After I clicked on Export, it attempted to export for a while but then gave me an error message saying that 0 of 1 videos was exported and it couldn't export.  Now it shows the video in the album in Aperture, but it won't play and I can't do anything with it.  I have tried to recall the original but it says there is no original and it says there are no referenced files when I try to reference the files.  The clip also shows an arrow pointing to the right with a yellow triangle by it.  This is located in the bottom right of the image, right next to the video icon.  My concern is that I tried to export the original.  Any ideas on how I can fix this and get the video back?

    The clip also shows an arrow pointing to the right with a yellow triangle by it.  This is located in the bottom right of the image, right next to the video icon.
    Is that the badge you are seeing? Then Aperture has lost the connection to the original video file.
    Now it shows the video in the album in Aperture, but it won't play and I can't do anything with it.  I have tried to recall the original but it says there is no original and it says there are no referenced files when I try to reference the files. 
    You tried to reconenct and locate the referenced file? Then you probably imported the video as "Managed" and then the commands for referenced files do not work.
    Look directly into your Aperture library package, if the video is still there:
    Select the Aperture Library in the Finder and ctrl-click(or right click) it.
    Then select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up.
    In the Finder window that opens scroll down to the "Masters" folder and open its subfolder "2013" and then go to the month and day, when you imported your video. Do you see your video there, or any imports at all?
    If you see the video in your library package, copy it to the Desktop, ad check, if you camn play it.
    What do you see?

  • HT204053 I originally had an Apple ID when I got my iPad.  This is the one associated with the app store; however, I now have two.  The second one comes up when I try to log into the app store and it will not log me in.  How do I get the original one to s

    I'm beginning to feel totally frustrated and functionally illiterate. I've been trying to log into the app store.  The apple Id that shows is not the original one I set up when I got my iPad.  When I enter the password for the Id that shows, I get the message that I cannot log in.  Is there a way for me to change which id shows up?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

  • Why has my icon changed to an A on my Mac dashboard and how do I get the original back?

    The Firefox icon (fox /earth) which has been on my Mac's Dashboard forever has changed to a stylized "A" made up of a ruler pencil and brush. I know not why. I would like to revert to the original. Why has this happened and how can I go back. I'm using version 9.0.1 on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8.

    Hi bitoruf,
    I've seen this happen periodically, but it's pretty easy to fix. Just delete the icon from your dock. Then recreate it by dragging the Firefox icon into the doc from the applications folder.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have a Mac Book (2006) All my saved emails for two and a half years have the same date. How do I get the original dates back?

    From the "date and time" I tried to drag the month and year to my menu bar. It did not stay, so I did it several times, but to no avail. I closed the window and went back to my Thunderbird email only to find that the date I tried to use became the date in the "date received" column of all of my emails from back to 2011. I changed the date a few days later, and then the date changed on all of my emails. I would like to undo whatever I did to the dates so that the emails show when they were originally received. I did manage to get "the order received" which helps a little, but I cannot see the original dates.
    I have checked "Set date and time automatically" but it doesn't change the dates on my saved emails.

    I at first thought it might be a Mac thing, but I couldn't find a solution. I realized that the date only affected my email, so then I thought it must be a Mozilla problem.
