The last iPod upgrade wiped out all my apps. Will the IOS6.0.1 do the same?

If you update via iTunes and synced media like apps and music are not in your iTunes library they will be lost.
You can always redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

IPhone upgrade wiped out all purchased apps...help!!

hi, I just downloaded and installed the new IOS to my iPhone. The download has wiped all of my purchased apps. I've managed to get one or two of them back, but the most expensive one, which I purchased outside of the UK, is nowhere to be found. It's not on my purchased apps section in iTunes, and when I signed in it said something about the account only being valid for the UK. Doesn't that seem a little draconian to be an excuse to delete the apps I purchased in Australia?
Anyone got any advice on how to get it back?
Cheers

did you find a solution to this? same thing happened to me last night. a couple of apps are there. everything else is gone (free and paid)...sickening. I'm not a techie at all...when first plugged in my phone the screens showed all apps but only like a shadow... but only those two apps were "there"...so when it did the "backup" it just grabbed those two. now thats all I have. Does the app store have a history of purchases/downloads? Having trouble with all apple "helps" ...I mistakenly always thought "sinc" meant that it was backing up my phone data to my computer. NOW I have ICloud , but NOW I have pretty much nothing left on the phone to be backed up. Oh yeah, it's still a phone.

HT1222 i just did this update for my iPhone and it has wiped out all my apps, etc. how do i access the backup for my phone so all is not lost?

I uploaded the 5.1.1 iphone update. It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc. How do I get them back?

Restore from a backup.
apps you can get it back by either syncing with itunes, or on your phone app store - update - purchased - all or not on this phone, select the app you want by clicking on the cloud next to it.

The last iTunes wiped out my audiobooks. How do I get them back in my library without having to import them again?

I just went to iTunes and realized that my audiobooks have been wiped out. I just did an update for iTunes. The audiobooks were the last time I went to look at them, but now they are gone. I could use some help.

I am happy to say that I finally figured out how to get my calendar back: I dug deep into the bowels of the phone, and discovered that syncing had been changed from "all events" to "one month." I changed it back, and - presto! - my life returned.
I am sorry to say that I didn't get any help from anyone at Apple or on this forum. I don't understand why the Appleistas feel free to change these things without warning us, and without telling us how to fix them. I like this phone, but because of the company's institutional arrogance, I strongly doubt that I will ever purchase another Apple product.

I upgraded my ipad and it wiped out all my apps, music, photos, everything. It won't sync with my computer either. No content transfers. What to do?

After upgrading my iPad 1 to 5.0 OS it seemed to reboot and set my system back to the factory default. I lost all my music, photos, and apps. What the heck did I do wrong? How do I get them back? Nothing transfers when I sync.

Just experienced the same problem. If there was fine print saying "by the way we'll wipe out all our apps and content in your tools" I must have missed it.

3.12 Upgrade Wiped Out All Media Content, Left Apps

After being denied too many apps in the App Store b/c they required the new OS, I finally upgraded to 3.12 late last night. It took a while but the upgrade went smoothly. Before disconnecting the Touch from iTunes I verified that all the content (music, videos, etc.) were still there and that the space available was around 1GB.
Turned on the Touch this morning and ALL my music and videos are gone. Apps all still work fine, as does WiFi. Checked in Settings on the Touch and it says I have only 1GB space remaining. So it's as if the music/videos are still there but they are nowhere to be found. I'm on a trip for the holiday and can't resync with my computer; tried hard restart and nada.

I upgraded over the weekend and had the exact same thing happen to me. I lost months worth of data from my Goodnotes app. Very upset and I can't believe that it isn't stored somewhere. I followed all the prompts. Yes I should have been backing up but I had a similar issue with my iphone where I tried to upgrade and lost all my data so I was hesitant upgrading my ipad. I though no way it could happen twice. Boy was I wrong. Please let me know if you find any help on this issue.

IOS 5 wiped out all my apps

I guess it might be an abnormalty but when upgrading to iOS 5 over iTunes connected to my PC today, the upgrade process went haywire.
When installing the update, it suddenly said restoring to factory settings, and then tried to restore from a previous backup.
When that was said and done, another progress bar popup came up saying restoring apps, but the iPhone was back up and ready to use, with the setup guide.
I went through the setup guide, but found that a majority of my apps were gone.
The restoring apps popup never got anywhere, and ultimately I had to kill it.
Now I have iOS 5, but many of my apps and all of my music, videos and photos are not there.
Could it be because of the extra space required by iOS 5 that pushed my device over the edge and the restore failed midway?

I had the same problem. I have done other upgrades without problem and all the apps came back. This time upgrading my 4GS phone with 5.0, I did as before. But instead of adding all my 130 so apps, only a few of the apps were included. That is the odd thing is that apps like Loopt or GTalk and other Google apps came but over but not other apps.
I can see the apps in iTunes and I know I can Synch - but none of the data I have in the apps will come over like user names, passwords, notes, dates, and so on.
Can anyone give me a trick or idea of how to get the apps back.
I have done 3 Restores (the 2nd Restore got my contacts back - they were gone). This is definitely by far my worst experience with an iPhone upgrage. Right after Steve left us...

The system upgrade problem: NOW all my apps are gone

The same problem I'm seeing other people discussing, the screen has the iTunes hookup graphic. I hooked it up to my mothership iMac, it forced me through some restore iPad process, which FINALLY worked. And now the iPad has not one of the dozens of apps we've installed in the last 7 months.
Any

I had the same problem. It's really aggravating. I don't know what is going on. Some info was saved after restore, but my apps and music was gone. I did sync-before my restore. What a big headache! The only reason I did a restore in the first place is because none of me apps would open.I had to restore, then one problem became another....I lost my apps and music. Now I have to view my "purchase history" to get my stuff back.

Why has my syc just wiped out all my apps?

I have just paid for a replacement 3G phone. Backed it up from work computer and synced fine. Took it home, synced again. All apps apart from the once that come with the iphone wiped. Why would the home computer backup of the old phone's apps not work as the work one did?

The apps themselves are not stored in the backup your phone makes to iTunes. Any time you sync your phone with a computer you get exactly what content (apps, music, etc.) that are in that itunes library. Chances are, your apps are just not on hyour home computer while they are in your work itunes library.
It's important to remember that you can only sync your phone with one computer at a time. If you want to use your home computer to sync you'll want to download your itunes purchases there before you do, that way they'll sync into the phone. Follow the steps in this article to download your purchases from iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Could I download a disguised virus in a fake Firefox update? Ever since the last upgrade none of my .exe files will run. The version number of the upgrade was lower than the latest version. My computer is in real trouble!

I deleted the "upgraded" version and tried to reload the latest version from Firefox website. I could download it but could not run it. Computer asks for an application to run the file with, and there is none. Also, all of my system applications now no longer respond.

That does sound suspicious. You may want to run some supplemental scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
If your system is clean of malware, you could completely remove all versions of Firefox and install again.
First, I strongly recommend backing up your Firefox settings for future recovery. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Get the latest installer from http://www.mozilla.com/

HT4528 i have a verizon iphone 3G; apple recently upgraded the operating system. PROBLEM: calendar has wiped out all entries and i am unable to add new entries. Help!

have verizon iphone 3g; recent upgrade of operating system. suddenly calendar has wiped out all entries and am unable to add new ones.

Please define "tried to add the Image"?
OS Installer Packages do not point to "images". They point to the complete set of source files including the directory structure from the media.
Is there a specific reason you are using OS Installer packages though? In general, there is no reason to use them anymore (unless you are actually still deploying XP).

Warning Upgrading from 5 to 6 Wiped Out ALL Of Our Backups

This morning my wife asked if I would upgrade her Blackberry Tour 9630 OS. As usual I started the desktop manager for BB which was version 5.x. I did a complete backup of the device as usual and it put it in the usual folder with all our other backups.
The BB desktop manager said we had the latest OS of 5.0.0.7 which I knew was incorrect. Called Verizon support and she first had me upgrade the Desktop BB software to 6.x. She asked if I had backed up the device and I said yes. The software still said I had the latest version of the BB OS of 5.0.0.7 so the rep had me download an exe file. I ran it and it updated the OS to 5.0.0.9 which is correct.
I then said I wanted to do a restore of this mornings backup and low and behold the folder that holds our backups was totally empty. We searched everywhere for *.ipd files and only found shortcuts which were no longer valid because the target file was now gone. Verizon was at a loss so they got Blackberry support on the phone which proceeded to webex into my computer to find these missing files. They were at a loss and said I have a bad computer or virus which really set me off.
I work for a very large software company in tech support. The blackberry support person seemed fairly clueless even when she was on my machine. Bottom line is this. They refuse to admit they wiped out that backup folder this morning and blame it on the computer. So here I sit setting up this Tour like we are brand new customers. My wife (real estate agent) has lost all her contacts that were in the Tour but not on her outlook which is a lot. My wife lost all her settings. And per usual her spamfighting third party software was wiped out once again. This last thing is normal for Blackberry.
I won't buy another Blackberry. Not because of today but because they have been left behind. Today's incident is simply amazing. So if you're on a Vista 64 machine and you upgrade the BB desktop manager from 5.x to 6.x please be aware that you may lose all your device backups. We did and RIM had no clue what to do or say other than to blame the customer.

We should all learn a lesson from this post. We should make back ups of our back-ups. I know it takes extra time, but you are able to recover should something go wrong. Put your backups on a thumb drive or better yet make 2 copies of your backups

I,m having trouble printing jewel cases since the last upgrade. The song titles all bunch up together and are unreadable.

I'm having trouble printing jewel cases since the last upgrade. The song titles all bunch up together and are unreadable. Can you help?

I can’t figure out how to import music.
Import it into iTunes first, then use the media browser in iMovie '08 to locate it.
