I am going to have to restore my iTunes to a prior date, how can I retrieve apps purchased after the chosen restore date?

I appear to have "lost" many of the songs, and videos, in my iTunes.  The songs/videos show, but  when I attempt to access them, it says it can't find the file and offers to search.  In the search the song/video shows, but is greyed out.  If I restore I tunes to a prior date, how do I retrieve apps that were purchased after the chosen restore date?
Thanks,
Dale

Icloud is made up of many services.  you may choose to use or not use any or all of these services.  One of the many services it provides is that it allows you to redownload past purchases.
"I prefer to keep all of my information on my Mac, and a local backup drive."
As you should.  That is why, if you have lost your comtent, you should redownload that lost content from icloud to your computer and back it up, using the directions I provided to you.
"lso, I don't recall setting up a iCloud account. "
Does not matter at all. You do not need an icloud account.  Forget you ever heard the word icloud.  Perhaps if we stop using that word, you will understand.  Itunes now allows you to download your past purchases again - instead of the one download only rule that has existed orior to now.  You can download your purchases to your computer again. 
You seem to be getting hung up on the word icloud, so imply forget you heard it.
Follow the direction in the link I provided to download the songs, etc that you have lost.  Once downloaded, they will once again reside on your computer where you can back them up and sync them to device as you always have.
nothing at all changes.
Hope this helps.

    Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • HT4743 I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3). How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?

    I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3).
    How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?
    I want a refund, but I can't even figure out how to request one through support. Super frustrated and long time Apple customer.

    After a day of trying, both iTunes and my Apple TV are telling me that the episodes of Scooby Doo I purchased are incompatible due to QuickTime. I still don't understand how I purchased something from iTunes that doesn't work with iTunes.
    the exact error I receive when I try to play an episode is the following:
    "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    Any advice would be great!

  • I recently brought a new HP laptop and I downloaded the newly updated iTunes on it; however I have an old Aver laptop with iTunes version 10.7 on it or the one before iTunes 11 came out. How can I transfer my movies from the old version to the new one?

    I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

    you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
    the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
    it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
    Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
    you should have all intact.
    Post if any problems.

  • How can you get apps back after you restore an iPod?

    Alright so basically I was on my iPod using an app when all the sudden my screen goes black and it wouldnt turn back on, when I inverted colours it went white so my iPod was on, just not responding. I had to restore my iPod and I have all my music back but I just want to know if I can get my apps back too. Please help!!! I NEED THEM BACK!

    Note that you can only redownload the current version from the App store.
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Thus, if yo have a 2G or 1G iPod Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • HT4890 How do you retrieve photo's after having to restore when iPad had gone into a 'coma' ?

    My PC ' s motherboard has gone and then blow me the next day my iPad goes into a coma . I went to apple store who restored it for free , brilliant service, however my photo's have not come back!! So I need to know if you can retrieve from iCloud without the need for a PCM ?

    It is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    It is not a stand alone device.
    You should regularly import any pics and vids to your copputer as you would with any digital camera.
    "Shouldn't iPad have an automatic back-up or a recovery mode that will restore its data if gets accidentally lost? "
    Yes.  You import/sync everything with your computer and back it up with your regular backup of your computer.
    Your pics/vids are gone.  Sorry.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer.  Right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from backup

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    You have an Apple ID already, so unfortunately the instructions in this link will not work for you as it states that these instructions are for those users who have not yet created an Apple ID as you may easily read.
    If you have not created an Apple ID yet, this article will assist you in doing so on your computer in iTunes or on an iOS device.
    If you wish to create another Apple ID for use with free content, my experience with experimenting with the instructions in this Knowledge Base article have always resulted in a None option in literally dozens of different country's iTunes/Mac App stores
    Those users with an existing Apple ID are redirected by this article to a different Apple Knowledge Base article which unfortunately will likely not assist you in your goal of downloading Apple content without supplying a bank card or an alternative payment method, such as an iTunes/Mac App Store gift card.
    If you have registered your product or used any Apple services, you should follow this article to use an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store.
    That paragraph, by way of the hyperlink, then directs users with an existing Apple ID to this article;

  • Although I have cookies saving enable when I restart the application I have to enter all log in details again. How can actually make it to use the stored cookies?

    Having the option to save cookies and all other stuff already enabled, I log on into several sites (e.g. gmail).
    When for some reason I restart the app, the website prompts me to fill in my log in details again. The strange thing is that on my desktop PC, it appears to have exactly the same settings however in that case saving or using the saved cookies actually works.
    Might that be an Ubuntu problem? I do not know. But some profile settings are being reseted any time I open the app.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Restore the phone on your computer from your own backup.  Or, erase all contents and settings and set up your phone from your recent iCloud backup if you made one.
