HT203167 Lost Apps

I just recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4S. While setting up the new phone I lost 60 apps. I found about 20 in the trash and was able to restore them. Itunes still can't find the rest and neither can I.  I tried to re-download them but I can't because they show as already downloaded. HELP!

If you still have the 'pointers' to them on your computer's iTunes then it assumes that you still have them somewhere - try deleting one of the 'pointers' from the Apps part of your iTunes library and then see if you can re-download it, and if you can then do the same for the others.

  • HT203167 Lost App after iPhone restore. Who do I get the app back?

    I bought iNet - Network Scanner and after a iPhone restore I can only get the free version back on my phone.
    How do I download the app I have already paid for? Should I lose an app because I need to restore I don't think so, this is completely wrong.  I paid for this app and would like to be using it still.  I have always backed up me iPhone and also restored it and still don't have the full functioanlity of this app, there maybe others.  If I have to pay for it again then these companies are getting money for nothing which is the same as stealing from there own customers.
    If anyone has any idea how to download this I would like to hear about it.  I have of course tried using the Purchased link in iTunes Store but this doesn't help.

    " Should I lose an app because I need to restore I don't think so,"
    It has always been very basic to ALWAYS backup your content.  Did you fail to do the basics and backup your purchases.
    You can redownload apps, if they are still available in the app store: See this:

  • I have just updated to the latest io5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on there?

    i have just updated to the latest ios 5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on my ipad?

    There is no need to do that, I had the same problem pal! Just do this and all should be fine!
    Delete one of the app's and re-install it, then for some reason everythign is restored to as it was!
    Hope you get on fine, let me know!
    Thanks

    Hello mfheatlie,
    welcome to the Community,
    Before upgrading have you got your backup on desktop software ?
    If yes then can , then connect your device to BB desktop software > On BB Desktop software Click applications>
    There you can see all you application List before your upgrade.
    Select on the Application that you want to transfer  then Click APPLY.
    If  your Lost  Apps are paid APPS. and you are not able get it than look at this thread link reinstalling paid apps

  • I synced with a new computer. Lost apps, reinstalled, had docu in an office2HD app when reinstalled, but will not cut and paste?

    I synced with a new computer, lost apps. Reinstalled and office2HD had all docs still in, but now I can not get the cut and paste feature to work? Also had problems with Gmail account and deleted and created new, so not sure I can download the app a 3rd time?

    Two ways.
    - You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
    Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
    All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
    - Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

  • How do I get credit on lost apps?

    Recently had to replace my dead iPhone 3Gs. (last night). After restoring it from a back up (PC iTunes updated) I have lost a dozen or so paid apps. I looked over my acct and it shows the history of downloads and payments. I asked the Apple Genius rep lastnight beforehand about this-- he mentioned Apple would refund my account for lost apps. If so can someone point me in the right direction on how to get this done?

    You won't get a refund. Once you've paid for an app, you can redownload it free of charge as long as it's to the same iTunes account.
    In your case, simply redownload those lost apps. It appears you might need to be repurchase, but at the final step it will say that you've already purchased the app and do you wish to download.

  • Lost apps after upgrade to 5.0.0.591

    Like many on this forum, I had the upgrade to 5.0.0.591 pushed to me by Verizon.  In general, I have not had nearly as many problems as many have reported on this forum, but I have lost a couple of apps including Audible player and Shazaam.  Are there any known fixes to these apps?  Details below:
    My Blackberry Tour 9630 recently updated itself to a new OS version.  I am now running v 5.0.0.591 (Bundle 1002, Platform 4.2.0.272).  In the process of the upgrade, it seemed to break the Audible player (version 1.4.12) that had been working fine up to that point.  It is now listed as "Unavailable" in the applications list.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.  Additionally, Shazaam Encore 2.5.1 will no longer run.
    Any suggestions that you might have would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Stu Rich

    Stu,
    I too have lost apps when I upgraded from version 4.7 to version 5.0.  Ddi you find out if they are trying to fix it?
    Thanks,

  • Lost apps store icon

    Lost app store icon on iPod touch4

    - Have you used the Spotlign search to find it?  Maybe you just can't find it.
    - Is it hdden by Restrictions?  Go to Settingds>General>Restrictions to check.  If it asks for a passcode you have Restrictions set.
    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

    After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

    apps are stored in
    C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
    their extensions are .Ipa  you can try doing a search on your harddisk
    unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
    but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
    about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems

  • HT201272 Lost apps after software update

    Has anyone lost apps when they downloaded the new software? I had a magazine subscription which I now don't have since updating my iPad.

    They should be in the iTunes library on your computer.  Connect the device and sync what you would like to the device.
    The only time I've heard of apps not re-appearing on a device after an update is when a user interrupts the upgrade process.  Have you tried a restore of the device using the backup created just prior to the update?

  • I lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

    i lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

    Are you running with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as your profile suggests.   If so you should not be able to get to the App Store.   So what do you have?
    You need Snow Leopard update 10.6.8.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Once you have that I don't see why not.   Check your purchase listing.   If it is there you can download again free.

  • Lost apps like (settings, camera, pictures etc.)

    II've lost apps on my ipad that you can't normally erase!! I have also lost apps like twitter, spodify, and yotube! I don't know what happened. The apps such as Youtube and spodify etc were white and so I tried turning off my iPad and turning it back on. Then when I turned it back on the apps were totally gone! I don't know how to get them back and I can't updare my ipad if that's whats needed!! Any help?!? Please?!?!?

    Hello Need_helpp
    Start with searching on your iPad by pulling down when at your Home Screen and type Settings to pull it up. Then check to see if any restrictions are turned on that maybe causing the Apps to be hidden. If all is good, then you will need to restore your iPad by following the steps in the last article.

  • Lost apps...how to recover

    Synced my ipad and lost about 12 apps. Unfortunately, I didn't have a backup (no way to backup that I could find) so I'm left with a fraction of my apps. Does ITunes have a list of apps bought by a person? And is there anyway to recover lost apps from ITunes or do I have to buy them all over again?

    You can re-download apps for free:
