HT4910 Can I restore my apps from a computer if I restore from itunes

Can I restore my apps from a computer if I restore from icloud or itunes when I have not backedup by apps?
My apps are in my media folder in itunes.
Thanks

I just wanted to update this chain since I was able to solve the problem I had. My iPad backups were on a time machine backup, but not on my new computer. In my most recent time machine backup I navigated to:
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and took the most recent folder from there. I copied that folder into the corresponding directory on my new machine, and then when I opened iTunes and plugged in my iPad it was there and I was able to restore it!
Note that if you have multiple devices, you can open that folder in the Backup directory and find the info.plist file, and near the top it will say the name of the device, so I was able to tell which was my iPad backup and which was my iPhone backup.
Problem solved!

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • HT1414 how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    Which apps? The iPhone apps you have selected/purchased on the iPhone App Store thru iTunes?
    Or the apps installed on the Mac?
    For the first case, simply connect the phone, start up iTunes if it doesn't do so on its own accord, click on your phone's entry on the list in the left column, select the Summary tab to make sure all is well, then click on the Sync button on the bottom edge of the screen. If you want, you can click on the Apps tab and arrange your applications how you like them prior to the sync, too.
    If the second case, no can do. iPhone apps run on iPhones, Mac apps run on Macs.

  • Since I have iCloud enabled and have backed up to the "cloud," can I delete all apps from iTunes without them being deleted from my iPod?

    Ok, so I have iCoud enabled on my iPod Touch, and I want to delete all my apps from iTunes without them deleting from my iPod, but iTunes says this:
    Please tell me if this is possible. Thanks!
    P.S.- When I get my iPhone next month, will all apps and "stuff" be there if I delete all the apps from iTunes and I turn off atomatic downloads to?

    No.  The iCloud storage feature is only for mobile devices.  If you need more space get an external HD formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and drag your  iPhoto Library to it.  Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library on the EHD to open.  Once you've confirmed that the library is OK and working properly you can delete the library from your boot driver. 
    However, if you don't have a backup strategy in place you should consider doing so as soon as possible.  A second EHD that's about 2X the size of your boot and first EHD is needed so you can use Time Machine to make hourly backups.  Remember there's only 2 type of hard drives:  1 - those that have crashed and 2 - those that will.

  • HT201322 On iPad how can I delete an app from iTunes account

    Of the years I have downloaded numerous apps on my iPad and iPhone.  Now I want to remove them from my devise and iTunes. How can I do that on my iPad?

    You can't currently permanently delete any item from your purchase history, you can delete an app from your iPad by pressing and holding an app, and you can select and delete them from the Apps part of your computer's iTunes so that they can't be synced back. Apart from that you can hide them as described on the page that you posted from so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading (hiding doesn't currently work directly on devices that are on iOS 6, though it should work via a computer's iTunes)

    Hi tankard77,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If iTunes is quitting unexpectedly when you try to sync your iPhone, start with the troubleshooting information in this article:

  • Can't delete old apps from iTunes. 'Delete' greyed out

    I would like to delete a number of old apps from my iTunes.  However, when I go to the 'Apps' tab and highlight the app it doesn't delete.  Also, when I go into 'Edit', the 'Delete' button is greyed out.  I have tried logging out of my iTunes account and logging back in, switching the computer on and off and also by trying with both plugging in both my iPhone and iPad.  Nothing works!  I would much appreciate any ideas.
    Thanks.

    Hi bickyk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below explains how to delete apps from your Mac, iPhone or iPad.  On your Mac, you should be able to click on the app to select it, and then press Delete on your keyboard.  
    If for some reason you are not able to delete the app from your computer, you can hide it instead.  Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted the key points for you.
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5772
    You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
    Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
    After you delete an item, it might still be visible if you can download it again from iTunes in the Cloud. The Download  icon will appear next to these items. You can hide items available in iCloud and purchases from the Mac App Store.
    Apps
    Open the section below for the device you're using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
    The apps will begin to jiggle.
    Tap the X on the app.
    Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
    Click the app you want to delete.
    Press Delete on your keyboard.
    Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4928
    Hide your purchases
    If you hide an item you purchased in the Mac App Store, you won't get update notifications for it, and you won't see it on your Purchases page. If you're using Family Sharing, hidden items will also be hidden from your family members.
    Use these steps on OS X Mountain Lion or later:
    Open the Mac App Store.
    Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    Right-click the item that you want to hide and choose Hide Purchase. A prompt will ask if you're sure that you want to hide the item.
    Click the Hide Purchase button. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
    Use these steps on OS X Lion:
    Open the Mac App Store.
    Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    Locate the item that you want to hide.
    Click the X to the right of that item. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • I can't install downloaded apps from itunes

    i downloade millitalk from itunes, but i cant install it on my macbook

    Only those that are compatable with OS X can be installed on your Mac
    So all of the ones listed there for mobile device will not work

  • Can't Install downloaded apps from iTunes to iPhone

    Hello everyone, i want to ask, why i couldn't install apps that i've downloaded it on iTunes to my iPhone? (My iTunes version 11.0.4 and i'm using iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4) Thank you very much...
    PS: I try to install from this, try to sync, try to apply, but the apps doesn't appear on my iPhone

    You need space. All games are compressed to save bandwidth on downloading, to install it needs 2 to 3 times more space. Also your iPhone needs space to function.
    To summarize: you need about 10% space of your total capacity for trouble free enjoyment of your iPhone.
    Can you use iPhone spotlight to search for it?
    Do you have full 11 pages of apps?

  • Can I restore previous version of an app from iTunes backup?

    I updated an app via wifi and don't like the new version (too many ads).
    I deleted it from my iPod Touch.
    Can I restore the old version of the app from iTunes?
    In iTunes I try to drag the app from the apps folder to my iPod but it springs back.

    Try:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    However, sometimes a previous version is not available.

  • Can i  access apps from itunes on my pc

    can i  access apps from itunes on my pc?
    I want to download my apps to my pc so I can clear some space on my iphone 4.
    Then I can use the space for other things e.g music.
    However at a later date I would like to access these apps and the data they have stored using my PC
    Is this possible?
    Or is this just another Mac problem?

    Most apps will store their data locally on the device. This can be restored from a backup when restoring the device, but if you remove the app any data associated with it is removed, and then subsequently purged from the device's rolling backup set on the next backup. If the app supports iTunes File Sharing you may be able to export its data to your computer, then reimport at a later date when you add the app back to your device.

  • HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC?

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES IPHONE BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC? THE REASON IS BECAUSE I HAVE TEXTFREE TEXT MESSAGES THAT I NEED FOR MY ATTORNEY AND WHEN I RESTORE IT FROM MY MACBOOK IT DOESNT INSTALL THE TEXTFREE BECAUSE I HAD DELETED ALL MY APPS IN ITUNES FROM IT. I HAVE ALL THE APPS ON MY DESKTOP MAC BUT I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO EXTRACT ONLY THE BACKUPS FROM THE MACBOOK AND IMPORT TO MY MAC DESKTOP. THE DESKTOP MAC IS THE ONE THAT HAS ALL OF MY LATEST BACKUPS. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. THANKYOU

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.
    iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another
    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.
