How to find purchased apps - Stolen iPhone and New Computer

I got a new iPhone 3gs, but had a broken laptop at the time. I set up iTunes on the phone and went on holiday. Whilst on holiday, my iPhone was stolen. Now I am back, my laptop is fixed (but had to be completely wiped and so iTunes and apps lost), and I have just received my replacement iPhone.
I have downloaded iTunes, and put in my iTunes login, and was hoping my apps would magically appear, but they don't seem to be anywhere.
I'm worried that because my iPhone was not plugged into my computer after downloading the apps and before losing the phone, I have lost them completely, and some of them were quite pricey and I downloaded loads.
Any advice appreciated, or should I just cut my losses and give up trying and just start again?

Log into iTunes, view your account and *Purchase history* to see what you have purchased.
You can redownload Apps for free.

De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
Following quote from Apple Support:
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

How to transfer purchased apps from iPhone to macbook

Hey guys, I'm trying to transfer a couple of apps that I purchased on my iPhone, and I'm trying to get them on my Macbook air without buying them agin. The problem is that I don't know if the method thats been provide for us on apple/support.com is actually working. The method I've been using is plugging my phone up to my macbook and opening iTunes, then going to file> devices> transfer purchases, but nothing seemed to happen. Is there a Specific place or file that the transferred purchases would have been sent to or am I doing it all wrong? P.S the apps that I'm trying to transfer is Garageband, Pages, Numbers, and Key Note.

That method will put the iOS versions of them into the computer's iTunes library. The Mac OS X versions need to be gotten from the Mac App Store.
Mac OS X and iOS are separate architectures.

How to sync different apps to iPhone and iPad in the same library on same laptop

Hi, I own a iphone and my brother owns a ipad. I have my own apps on my iphone, and he has his own apps on his ipad. When I first connected my iphone to my macbook, all my apps were backed up on my computer. Now today, I connected my brother's ipad to my library, it started syncing the apps that were stored in my library to his ipad, and vice versa. I don't want that, neither does he. How do I stop this? Please help

I found out that by holding down the option key on the macbook pro keyboard and clicking itunes icon, it gives me an option to create a separate library. This is very very convenient and organized! This enables me to keep my brother's and my stuff separate in itunes in two different libraries WITHOUT making a separate user account on my laptop. I LOVE APPLE

How to transfer purchased video from iPhone 3GS to computer?

Hi all,
So I just bought an iPhone 3GS, my first iPhone, and I've also done my first purchase of TV shows off of the iTunes store. (Series 2 of Torchwood as well as the recently aired Children of Earth.) I did the initial purchase on the iTunes store from the phone itself, not realizing that I couldn't actually download the episodes onto the device since that'd take ages over the 3G network. But I did see that I could download the HD episodes to my computer and the SD ones onto the device.
Fine, I think, I'll take my iPhone home and pull the episodes already download off of it onto the computer...
... only I can't find any way to do that. I have seen that I can download episodes directly to the computer and sync those down to the iPhone, but this has caused duplication of episodes; for example, I wound up with two copies of episode #3 of series 2 because the one coming in off the computer didn't actually override the one on the phone.
To further confuse matters, episodes 1 and 2 have vanished off the phone and I can't figure out if this is because I've watched those on the computer...?
Anybody got any ideas? I'd like to be able to free up space on the phone by pulling the five episodes on it onto my computer, so I won't have to download those twice. Thanks in advance!
Anna

Nope, Transfer Purchases didn't work for me at all.
I wound up emailing Apple Support directly for help and they couldn't give me an answer as to why that wasn't working either. But we did eventually reach a workaround of them unlocking some of the duplicate downloads for me so that I could do them again on my computer, while also deleting the files directly off the iPhone in manual mode. Not an ideal solution, but it did at least give me a way to get all the episodes onto my actual computer.
Thanks to y'all who've already answered.

Syncing apps from iPhone to new computer

I have a new computer and want to sync my phone and all it's apps to my new computer. How do I do this without loosing all of my apps?

Hi ...
What if that doesn't help?
I have a new computer cause the other one crashed, and I've tried this but didn't succeed. It seems to be working and when iTunes ask if I want to use the new properties and I press ok, nothing has been done, and there's no programs in my iTunes program libary?
It want me to update an empty iTunes libary even if I try to import buying from my iPhone.
Unfortunately the answer is not very helpful to me.
Happy Easter.

I can't sync my purchased albums from iphone to new computer

hi I have a new laptop which I have authorized, but when I try to import my purchased music from my iphone it says I need to authorize my computer. I have tried logging out and back in again on itunes, and I only have the one account. Any ideas what the prob could be?

The most likely reason is the iPhone and PC have different iTunes store accounts. Have you tried "Transfer purchases from..." on the file menu in iTunes?
Go to My Account in iTunes and make sure it really IS authorized.

Linking iphone and new computer - missing pairing record

Hi,
I recently had a mechanical hard drive failure in my old laptop and now need to link my iphone so it can sync with ym new computer. I am not able to do it however as i keep getting a message that i hve a "missing pairing record"
Is there a way to connect the two devices so i can sync my phone.

I'm not familiar with that message myself, but perhaps something in this user tip will help: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I suspect the error is something to do with the syncing of contact & calendar info. You may need to create dummy records in each to trigger a sync or replace prompt.

How to find purchased ringtones on iPhone 4s

I'm new to all this. New to iPhone, new to smart phones, basically new to iTunes - I've had the software on my computers for years, somewhere along the line I created an account but really never used iTunes.
I bought a ringtone on my phone and want to put in on my wife's phone - we share the same iTunes account. After I purchased the ringtone, it showed up in my ringtones fine. However I can't figure out how to get it on the other phone, while playing around trying to find the way I went to the store from my phone, from the ringtones settings and can't even find that purchase at all. I know I was charged for it. When I look at recent purchases it has options for:
Music
Movies
TV Shows
When I tap Music it shows all the music we've purchased but no ringtones - no option for Ringtones or Tones on recent purchases so I'm lost, please help and remember, I come from a Windows background and am not that fimilar with iTunes. I've googled for restoring lost ringtones but all the directions seem to be for a previous version of iTunes because I can't find what they are talking about.
Thank You for your help!!

while I was playing around last night in between your answers to my questions I hit 'Consolidate Files' on the right click for the ringtone and didn't restart iTunes, didn't think about it last night but if the files were moved maybe iTunes needed to be restarted. I do not know this software but I'm guessing that is the cuase of my problems.
However I did hit Revert and Apply so I don't know.
On iTunes when you click menu File > Library > Organize Library... > Consolidate Files, you are letting iTunes manage your content, it will make a copy of your content to the path where iTunes keeps indices, media structures, etc.
It is a good idea to do that since it will update the database as well.
I am wondering if I should delete the back-ups for both phones and start over following your procedures again, I'm just a bit leary to do that. If I go that route, would I need to deregister and re-register phones too?
You can delete the backups in iTunes > Preferences...(Windows: Edit > Preferences...) > Devices > delete the backup here. After that, you can right click on iPhone in iTunes sidebar and do a fresh new Backup.

No, you do not need to de-register and re-register iPhones.
