HT201272 Where are my IPad app recent purchases? Apple tech forums say "solution no longer available"....geeez!

Purchased a couple of apps..(including Angery Birds HD for my son, but they at
Ren't showing up on my IPad 2. When checking "usage" in the general area, it shows to be there, but there is no "Icon" to start the game.
any suggestions....I've restarted, and even backed it up to my PC and tried drag-n-drop from there, but still same results.
tIA,

I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:
When seen as an ipad:

You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same.

Where are my ipad apps

i bought some ipad apps but cannot find them on my ipad?

You've checked all the homescreens on your iPad for them, and if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad do they show as 'downloaded' ? If they do and you haven't got an app age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them on your iPad then try a soft-reset and see if they show after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
There is also a limit of 11 homescreens on an iPad, after which apps can be accessed via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right)

Where are all the Apps Stored?

Where are all the apps I have purchased from the app store stored, on my PC? They do not appear in the Itunes folder where all the TV programs and music are.

They are in a subfolder named Mobile Applications. It will be a subfolder wherever you are running your itunes library database ITL file from.
On XP, the default path for that is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
(this is where the default ITL file is stored)
So your apps would be in this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications

Where are my old apps? Not on new phone.

I tried transferring my 4s to my 5s with icloud and didn't move 90% of my apps. I tried it again backing up to the computer from 4s then restoring from computer to 5s, again 90% are missing, only the same few apps moved over besides the new ones that came with 5s. Now if I look at either phone in itunes, all my apps are pictured on the right side (under apps) but nothing is listed on the left side where they all used to be listed. Same with the 5s, the few apps are listed on the right side but there is nothing listed under Apps on the left side.
Where are all the apps I bought--practically all where bought from the Apple app store. How can I get them and put them on my 5s? Is it because they aren't 64bit? I thought the 5s could handle both. I really need these apps.
Help!

Thanks Steve for that quick response! From other unrelated comments I've read, Apple never helps with password problems, always says, "We don't keep your passwords, so there's no way we can help you with passwords." But since this is actually more related to PURCHASED-apps not appearing in iTunes, then maybe they would have a more helpful attitude regarding that.
However, the joke is on me, as I think I was taking gail-from-maine's sentence too literally where she wrote, "
Sign into iTunes with the Apple ID that you purchased the apps with." She probably meant different family members might have different IDs/different phones, so make sure you're using the correct one for whichever phone.
Because I went ahead & used my CURRENT ID/PIN, & followed her directions so far, & yes, whew!, there are 222 apps showing in iTunes. However, they ALL show the little cloud on them, which gail said means they are NOT on the Mac. But they ARE on the Mac, under User > Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications. So I'm cornfused.
I also notice that some of the apps (in the long list under Mobile Applications/Mac) show a "Creation Date" of 12/31/69 (!!) so I don't know how/why it says that as my clock/time/date is correct/current. Might that be causing a problem? There appears to be no way to change that "Creation Date" in "Get Info."
Another question, what happened to the way you could move/re-arrange the location of the apps in iTunes according to screen/pages on the phone? (with OSX Lion & iTunes 11.1.5, it simply shows all the apps in iTunes in 27 rows of 8 apps each row, but I see no way -- YET -- to rearrange them by different phone-screens/locations, the way it used to show them in older iTunes & you could move them around to where you wanted them to show up on your phone).
FWIW, I did try doing as gail-from-maine said, "Click on them [in iTunes] to download them [the ones with the clouds on them] to the Mac," (in the lower right of the iTunes page, it has the option/button to "Download ALL"), but it didn't do anything, just a quick blink like flutter/action on iTunes page & no indication that anything was downloading.
I'd rather have the copies that are already on the Mac under Mobile Applications put on the phone, since they are the ones with CONTENT in them through the last backup, right? (I don't even know if the 222 apps showing in iTunes actually have any CONTENT in them???)
As you can tell, I'm not an experienced iTunes user, never cared for that software much.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

I recently purchased Apple TV and it worked right away with my three ipd minis my iPhone 5 and ipad . The next day I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on any thing? Any ideas

I recently purchased Apple TV and the first day it worked great. The second day I can no longer get the airplay symbol on any of my devices?

Airplay doesn't show up in control center on any of your devices?
Have you tried restarting the devices by holding down the home and power button for about ten seconds. I would also try restarting your router/modem.

I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

Is there any app to purchase apple products ? Like Apple store app for iPhone ?

Any app for purchasing apple products for mac ?

There is not a Mac app for the Apple Store. You must use the Apple Store website to buy Apple products on line;

Hi nikevans04,
I am sorry to hear that you lost your iPad Air 2. You will only see the last location if it has been off for less than 24 hours. Anything longer than that, it will not show up using the Find My feature. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Every time I try to mirror my iPad 2 to my Apple TV it says "error has occurred try again later" any suggestions out there? Simply trying to watch what's on my iPad on my tv

I would go over the wifi routers settings verifing that it does not block the required ports

Why does my iPad say printer no longer available?

Why does my iPad say printer no longer available?

The printer is either off or no longer on the same network as iPad.
Try rebooting router and printer.

HT204150 I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account it still only shows 13,0

I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account from a different web browser it still only shows 13,032. Meanwhile on my mac book pro, the "icloud" contact is still spinning like its trying to update the rest of the missing contacts. I have let the computer run for 2 days straight and still no progress. Is there a limit to how many contacts I store on "iCloud" I have upgraded to the extra 25 gigs per year. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, because its also slowing down my mac book pro significantly causing it hard to do any other task on my computer....Any advice or help would be again greatly appreciated.

On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're reaching a limit in the number of contacts you can have.
I would first create a contacts archive (file >> export) for a backup. Then, go to system preferences >> icloud and uncheck contacts. Reboot. Return to those preferences and recheck contacts.
Also, review http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489 just in case you have some contact cards that are reaching a different limitation.

HT201272 what if a song i recently purchased on itunes shows up on my mac, but not on my ipad?

I just recently bought an ipad 2 and went to the itunes store to look at recently purchased songs to download on my new ipad. The newest song i purchased over a week ago shows up on my macbook in itunes, but not on the ipad in itunes. how do i get it on my ipad?

Did you go to your Purchased page? are you signed in to the same account you used in purchasing the songs? Read this article for instructions
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201272 I have always had and used the same Apple ID, so where are the rest of the songs I bought from itunes? I've bought at least 400 songs and I only am being able to download 178. Where are the rest of my purchases?!

I have always had and used the same Apple ID. I have changed credit card information on my Apple ID account several times though. Does that make a difference when downloading past purchases? I'm very angry at Apple and Itunes because I have been using itunes since 05/2005 and I do not have even close to the amount of songs and albums that I have purchased from itunes. If the credit card info does make a difference even though the account is the same one then itunes needs to make sure to notify users of this because I am not the only one who is wondering this same thing. I have numerous friends who i've talked to about this and they say the same thing, that they too have songs purchased in the past that have disappeared when trying to download past purchased items. It should not make a difference. $12 is $12. Especially since I have ALWAYS used the same account. If itunes does not change their ways, I will not be purchasing songs or anything else for that matter from them ever again. I will go back to buying CDs where I KNOW that it will always be with me and I don't have to deal with this. I will also make sure to find a better more reliable source to download music from and will make sure everyone I know and come in contact with knows what it is and how much better it is than itunes. There should be no experation date on the music I PURCHASE, nor should there be any other little loop holes that allow itunes to rob us of rightfully purchased products. What's the deal itunes??

So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.
mannyace wrote:

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.
mannyace wrote:
Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.
