If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

    My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
    Sincerely,

    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

    It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

  • The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

    The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?  When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

    The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

  • I have a MacPro without the updated IOS 7, just purchased an iPod Touch with IOS7, will I be able to download my iTunes library without upgrading my MacPro? I have to keep my computer on old system due to investigation of white collar hacker/frenemy.

    Allan Eckert, my guess is that my reply did not show up until the OPs posted her reply. That problem seems to have restarted this morning. See the post in the Lounge>Community Operations forum for more info.

  • Can I use the apps that I purchased for my iPod touch on my new iPhone 3GS?

    I just pre-ordered the iPhone 3GS and I wonder if I can put the apps that I have on my iPod Touch onto the phone also? Can you purchase apps once and use them on 2 devices? If so, how do I do this?

    You can authorize up to 5 computers with the same iTunes account, but there isn't any limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account. This applies to 3rd party apps which include DRM protection, which iTunes music that is purchased now no longer includes.
    If you sync multiple iPod Touches and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library, each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes.

  • I dont have the computer that i had when i open my i tune acount so how can i get my music on another computer..

    i dont have the same computer that i had when i opened my i tunes acount.. how can i open my music to a new computer.. without linking the old one with the new

    Copy it from the backup of your iTunes folder you made before you got rid of your old computer.

  • I am in the process of completely restoring my Early 2009 MacBook, which is the computer that I originally created my iCloud account with; which, consequently, is the original location of all of the music that finds its way from iCloud-

    Onto all of my other device.  Is all of the music in iCloud safe if I restore my MacBook?
    I have an iPhone and an iMac.  There is a lot of music that I have downloaded from iCloud onto both devices – however, not all.  My question is: will the songs that have not been downloaded onto my iMac from iCloud be lost if I restore the computer that was the original location of all of that music?

    I agree with Keith about using the Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. This way there's no chance of errors due to dropouts using the wireless connection. 
    According to MacTracker your early 2009 Macbook does have a Firewire 400 connector which should do the job very well.

  • Okay, the iTunes 8.2 bug that I had on my iPod Touch is back with my iPhone

    I have new iPhone 3GS that I picked up this morning at 7 am. I love it, but the iTunes 8.2 bug that is being thoroughly discussed in the iPod Touch forum is back and affecting my iPhone 3GS. I did read one random post that a Apple Tech Support person said to unplug the internet (disconnect your internet) before plugging it in. I don't know why, but it worked and makes me wonder if this will also work for iPod Touch users. Weird, but it is definitely a nice work around for now!

    I got it again. I plug in the iPhone into my computer and it is telling that it thinks it is a camera because it is trying to launch Canon CameraWindow, MS scanner, Picasa3, etc. Then iTunes says, "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please, disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again." Yes, I tried again, and completely uninstalled iTunes and all things Apple to only re-install it. I am at my whits end again!

  • One of the episodes that i had on my IPOD NANO 8GB was removed off when i put a new episode of that tv show that i bought and put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB. How do i get the first episode that i bought back on my Ipod Nano 8GB with the new episode on it?

    I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB. Now, all I have is the new episode of the tv show on my ipod and I can't get the other back on there. How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod?  Please Help Soon.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

  • How do change the computer that can upload to my iPod?

    Alright heres the deal: I used to upload songs at my computer at home but recently got a new computer at college. How do I change it so I can upload songs from my new computer at college?

    Connect your iPod to the new computer and you should see this message.
    Click 'yes' and the new computer becomes the iPod 'home'.
    Doing this will erase what's currently on your iPod and replace it with what is in your new iTunes library.
