I can't restore purchased apps to itunes because I changed my apple id password
I just wanted to see if anyone has had this problem at all? I have just updated my iPhone to iOS 8 and had to reset my password as I had forgotten it. I backed up my phone to my computer and updated. Now when I came to restore from backup my apps are not there?
Can anyone help as I have purchased a few apps that weren't cheap! Plus there are a lot of data on the apps as well.
Cheers in advance,
Geoff
Sorry to ask but... are you absolutely certain you have entered your Apple ID and account password correctly?
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes store, see if you are able to log into the iTunes store from either your computer or your iPod.

How can I access my App Store now I have changed my apple ID
How can I access my App Store now I have changed to a new apple ID?
That wasn't a very good idea. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another or merge Apple IDs. Not for anyone. All of the content that you got free or bought with the old ID is forever associated with that ID. You cannot redownload or update any of it without the old Apple ID.

I can't download purchased apps in iTunes 11?
I downloaded iTunes 11 for my PC. I can download my purchased music and movies/tv shows, but I can't seem to download my purchased apps. Whenever I open the apps page in my library, nothing comes upavailable for download like in the music tab. I've purchased at least 50 apps from my old iPod Touch, and I want them on my computer from iTunes since I no longer have the iPod Touch.Why aren't my purchased apps showing up? How can I download them again?
Hello HumphreyWilliams,
You can always redownload your purchased content for free. I have linked to an article that will show you how to access your library of purchased content.

My ipod keeps telling me that my apple ID has been disabled whenever I try to update or buy new apps. I've already changes my password to see if that would fix the problem, but the message is still popping up about my apple ID being disabled. How do I fix this?
Hi Inparker,
When you say you changed your password, did you change it on Manage My AppleID? If so, once you did that, did you sign out of the iTunes & App Store on your iPod Touch? If you did not, then you need to do that, then sign back in with your new password.
Cheers,

How can I restore my data from iTunes? It won't recognize my Password.
The Apple Store reset my iPhone 4 today and told me that I would be able to restore all of my data via iTunes restore. I have been going crazy because the "restore from backup" will not recognize my password. All other aspects of iTunes recognize it, but not Restore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Zeker99Quit iTunes if it is running. Transfer your iTunes folder from the /Music/ folder on the old computer to the /Music/ folder on the new computer.
You can connect the two computers using Firewire and Target Disk Mode. -
Can't seem to get the email authentication to change my apple ID password
I have tried to change my apple ID password as I have forgotten it. Since I don't remember the answers to the security question I asked for the email authentication however I never receive the email.
Widespread reports of issues with Apple related sites recently. Some are certainly working again now.

Restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes
restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes
And....that's your question? How to restore the apps? Sync your iPad with iTunes and the apps should be restored to your device. Or go to the purchased tab of the App Store and tap on Not on this iPad and download them again.
Did you restore from a backup after you updated? Can you provide any information at all? -
I have first iPod touch, but can't after restore can't reinstall some apps I bought because they have been updated in iTunes to newer versions? I am giving this to my grandchildren and their favorite game Skee-Ball updated and now can't reinstall on iPod touch.
If you still have the apps on the iPod you can delete them from the computer and then transfer the apps from the iPod t the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Next would be to look in your computer backups file for a version of the apps that works with the iOS on the iPod.
Otherwise you are out of luck. -

You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.
Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.
