How to reinstall old app purchased on iphone that is no longer available in App Store?

A couple years ago I purchased a Colorado maps app (I can't remember the name) from the App Store. The computer that I had it backed up on crashed, so I had to reinstall iTunes on a fresh hard drive.
I still have the backup files of the hard drive that had the app backed up on it. But I don't know how to access the files for that lost app.
Is there a way to reinstall or recover old apps no longer available in the app store from an old backup of itunes or something?
Thanks

You're actually overthinking it. You have the backup of that app of your old HD, yes? On Vista, go to:
c:\Users\[Username]\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Mobile Applications
The tricky part is finding the app name, since you've forgotten it, but try to go with the obvious names first. "Colorado.ipa" etc. Try Appshopper.com's search feature, to possibly refresh your memory. When you've found it, make a copy of it, and install it on your new iTunes Mobile Apps folder. Click on it, and let it load. You'll see it in iTunes (if you're using the same account as before). Good luck.

  • I have an app on my iPhone that is no longer being made and that is no longer on my iTunes.  How can I transfer it to my new device?

    I downloaded a dictionary app a while ago that is no longer in the app store.  I also don't have it on my newly reformatted windows machine.  What can I do to transfer it to another device?

    Well, the best way is to restore the backup that you made before you reformatted the Windows machine.
    Barring that, open iTunes, go to Preferences, Devices, and check the box to disable automatic sync. Then connect the phone to your computer, and go to the File menu, Devices/Transfer Purchases. This should copy all of the iTunes content on your phone to your computer.

  • My purchased songs from iTunes songs no longer available in us store

    Hi,
    I am trying to re-download purchased tunes from the iTunes Store. I get a warning that some songs are no longer available in the US Store!
    How do I get my music back? Is it tough luck if I did not back up those files/

    Unfortunately if the iTunes store does not sell the music anymore, you would not be able to re-download what is already purchased. I hope this answered your question.

  • Transfer app from one iPhone to another - no longer in App store

    I have just received my iPhone 5s. On my 4s I have an app (American Heritage Dictionary) that is no longer available in the App store, so it's no longer listed among my purchased apps, even though it cost $30. Any idea how I can transfer it from the old phone to the new one?
    Thanks.

    Have you failed to keep it on your computer?  and your backup copy of your computer?
    If so, not goo, then transfer it to your computer from the iphone:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Everything should be kept on your computer and you should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.

    On your iPad  go to the App Store icon, Tap on the Purchased Tab.
    It will show you all the Apps that have been bought with the Apple Id currently in use by the iPad.
    Assuming its the same one being used on the iPhone, you should be able to find the App there.
    To further help you find it you can tap on the "Not on this iPad" button to limit the results to just Apps not currenlty installed on your iPad.

  • How Could I know before purchasing an application that it'll suit my iphone

    How could I know which IOS my iphone is currently using..??
    And how could I know before purchasing an application that it'll suit my iphone..?

    On your phone: Settings>General>About>Version...your iOS version is listed here. Every app's discription details the iOS requirements to use the app.

  • I have apps on my iPhone that I want to delete but do not want them deleted from my iPad.  How do I know which ones are iPhone specific?

    In order to save using data when traveling I want to delete apps from my iPhone that I don't need.  However I do want these apps on my iPad and with the new IOS8.0.2 and Yosemite I think they are all now integrated so that if I delete from one device it is deleted from all and if I add to one device it is added to all.  Is this correct?
    1.  How can I tell which apps are specific to iPhone and which are specific to iPad?
    2.  How can I tell how much data is being used per app?
    3.  How can I tell if an app is running in the background?
    4.  When I turn off cellular data does that limit the app from functioning always or just restrict it to wi-fi?
    5.  Do I benefit from having Bluetooth on if I don't use a head phone or other device?
    6.  Is a Personal Hotspot more secure than using paid hotel wi-fi?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

  • Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

    Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
    All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
    Please help.

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • My "Notes" app on my iPhone 4S is no longer syncing up with my "Notes" app on my PC or on my iPad.  It was syncing up fine before.  But no longer.  How do I fix this so that whatever I type in iPhone "Notes" will appear in my other devices' "Notes"?

  • How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

    The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.

    Hi wjosten,
    thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
    I am not sure about the photos.   On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library."  TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc. 
    However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder.  Any clues?

    So why don't you go to the developer's site and ask there?   Word Lens is NOT an Apple product.

  • Somehow my wife has ended up with some of my apps on her iPhone, and I have some of her apps on my iPhone.  So, when I update apps on my phone, some of them ask me for her apple ID password. How do I get her apps off my phone.

    Do you guys use the same computer with itunes on it? And the best way to get them off is to go into the Setting>Itunes & App Store and sign out of her appleid if it's listed there. Also just delete all of the apps from her appleid off your phone.

  • HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need

    I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need to do?

    You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.
