? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

I think we need a sticky for this.
Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

How to remove apps from iTunes after they have been removed from iPod Touch

If I remove an app from my iPod Touch, they still exist in iTunes. After a while, they can add up and take up lots of space on my computer. What's the easiest way to remove ALL apps that no longer exist on my iPod Touch but are still in iTunes? I currently just manually go through the list to delete them from iTunes, which seems to work, but is there a better, more efficient way?

Anna,
Your suggestion of using the Control key does not work on a Mac.
On a Mac, one can:
1. Use your Command-(Apple) key to select items that are not in consecutive order. It's appropriately called a "non-consecutive select".
2. Use your Shift key to select consecutive items.
3. Or use your mouse to perform what's called a "lasso" select. Click your mouse/clicker down while dragging over the items you'd like to select, and then drag them to the trash.

How to Recover a running composites after system crash?

The Weblogic server has unexpected restart while some long-time composites were running.
After Weblogic started again, those composites had state "Running". But nothing changes. They never neither finish neither fault.
Is there a something necessary to configure in weblogic, or composites to successfully continue all running composites after system start-up after a crash?

How to recover apps games data after iPad crashed?

Our iPad crashed and it was replaced at Apple store. We are now downloading, via icloud, the apps we used to have. But it seems that the games are not showing last scores/ levels. Is there a way to recover this data as well? thanks a million!

That data would be in your backup. If you have a very recent backup - and I mean very recent - you can restore from that backup in order to recover all of your app data.

That is correct if there is a similar application made for the computer. It will not be sold through iTunes. Either you get it from the developer's website or look for it in the App Store or look for it at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads .

How to transmit apps from itunes to an iOS device?

Hey
I normally download my Apps directly with my iPad, but I also want to have my Apps in iTunes.
But how do I send the Apps from iTunes to my iPad?
I sync my Ipad manually and when I want to send music to the iPad I just have to choose an album, hold on pressing the left mouse-button and move the album to the iPad.
But I can't do it like this with Apps - so what do I have to do?
What would happen wehen I choose "sync Apps"? Will the Apps be deleted on the iPad and replaced by the Apps form iTunes?
In this case all documents, some licenses and my scores would be deleted?!
Sorry, but there is no German Support Community yet but I tried to write it understandable.
Thank you for answering

Don't try to do it manually, but let iTunes sync them.
Connect your iPad to iTunes. Right-click on its name under Devices, then select Transfer Purchases... TThat will make sure all tthe apps you have on the iPad are also in iTunes for futurte syncing, management and as a backup. Select whick apps you want on the iPad and then Sync.
App data, such as so,me documents, scores, settings, etc, are part of the backup/sync with iTunes and should not be lost.
Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc, are not part of the backup, as the aassumption is that you keep them on the computer and only sync updated info.

How to transfer apps from iTunes to iPad

my iPad has some apps purchesed from old appleID(I have no access to it). and I download some apps from iTunes by new my appleID.
I can't transfer new apps to my iPad because computer dosn't authorized for purchesed items.
any help please...
thanks in advance

We're almost there to you solving my question:
1. My account was already authorized on my computer.
2. From Amazon, I installed Kindle for Mac and once installed, my books from my iPad automaticallyand directly downloaded into the application. From my computer Kindle, I opened a book and copied a page and pasted it into my TextEdit application, which will allow me to print the book cutting to my printer. Problem solved.
3. As for the Pages App, following your link to the instructions on exporting to my computer, I was able to get a page into my iTunes and download it to my computer. However, when I tried to open the page on my computer, the following error message occurred: The document "Goals.pages" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format...." So, I went to Amazon to see if I could download a Pages App but to no avail. I can't rememmber if I purchased it from the App Store or via iTunes, but I should be able to transfer it from my iPad to any other devise of mine, free of charge. If not, I know that if I buy an Airprinter that I will be able to print pages from my Pages App on my iPad. However, would you know of a way to export my Pages, in the correct format, from my iPad to my Mackbook? Alternatively, if I can get iTunes to transfer this purchase from my iPad to my computer, then the correct format will exist but now we're back to where we started, with this action being obstructed with its error message...
Thank you for your time helping me.

HT5114 how to sync iphone info to itune and how to recover info from itune?

How to sync the phone with Itunes, and how to recover the info?
Can someone advise me?

What sort of info do you want to get off the phone ? If it's iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
If it's music from other sources then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Syncing a device with your computer's iTunes will copy content to the phone from your computer, it won't copy things back from the phone.
If you haven't synced the phone to that computer before then you may find this user-tip helpful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How to correctly sync from Itunes after Ipod touch

Hi,
I just got a new Iphone 3G, after having used an Ipod touch. I synced the Iphone from Itunes, and all my existing apps and settings have synced OK, but all the apps are empty and none of my photos, videos etc. have synced - even though I went through every tab on the device in Itunes and pressed Sync. What do I need to do to get my Iphone just like my Touch?
Thanks,
Richard

Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. Make sure you have at least one contact in the contacts list on your phone. Connect your touch, do not sync, rather right click the touch in the device pane and select "backup". Once complete, un-mount your touch, connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, right click the phone in the device pane & select "reset warnings". Once done, right click again and select "restore from backup". Select the backup you just made. Once the restore is complete, this must be followed by a sync to put your itunes content back on your phone. You should get a popup regarding your contacts, to merge or replace, select merge. All you should have to add to your phone are wifi & email passwords, as these are not copied over for security reasons. Your phone should now look exactly like your touch.
