I had deleted all Apple apps

I deleted all Apple apps when I got the computer and installed Microsoft windows for Macs and Firefox.  Most recently, the Firefox browser keeps crashing so I'm thinking of reinstalling all of the mac applications and programs, but not sure how to do it.  I had deleted all Mac apps that I could find including Safari.  ny idea how to reinstall?  I cannot access the internet from the Macbook Pro because Firefox has stopped working.

There is only one way to do that: reinstall OS X. Try this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

    I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

  • So when I first got my phone I had kik and tumblr on it but when I tried to update it my phone just deleted the apps . Now when I try to re install them it won't let me and has a box in the corner that says 17  Ireset my phone,deleted all my apps plz help

    I reset my phone , made a new account even deleted all my apps but nothing works . How do I remove the restrictions if any for the 17+ apps ? Pleasee help !

    It's set in Settings/General/Restrictions. You will need the Restrictions passcode to access the setting. Presumably someone placed the restriction on your phone. You need to talk to whomever set the restriction if it wasn't you.

  • ITunes deleted all my apps after I clicked "Cancel" to sync apps

    I'm at work and I wanted to do some serious app re-arranging.  Rather than doing it manually on my iPhone5, I luanched iTunes.  Note: I do *not* sync my iPhone with my work computer, but I thought maybe it could still rearrange the apps since I can see them all nicely there in iTunes.  So here were my exact steps:
    plug in my iPhone
    launch into iTunes
    click on my iPhone device
    click on the "Apps" tab
    re-arrange my Apps in a different order
    checked other tabs (Tones, Music, Movies, etc) and confirmed *none* are set to sync
    clicked "Sync"
    Aside: Now before you jump on the "you're an idiot bus" (still quite likely), I *did* know that this might not be a great idea.  However, I  remember accidentally clicking "sync" on a foreign computer in the past, and I remember it always asked me before doing anything destructive, so I decided it was a safe thing to try.
    Anyway, back to iTunes... after I clicked "Sync", this happened:
    iTunes popped up a prompt saying something along the lines of "this device is not synced with this computer, if you sync apps, it will delete all the apps on the device and replace them with the apps on this computer" with options to "sync" or "cancel".
    I clicked "Cancel"
    iTunes popped up another prompt saying something like "this computer is not authorized with the iTunes account for the device" with options to "authorize" or "cancel".
    I clicked "Cancel"
    At this point I EXPECTED to get a message saying iTunes could not sync the device, but INSTEAD, iTunes continued doing *something*.
    By the time it was done, almost all of my App Store apps were completely wiped off my phone.  What's really odd is that some were left behind.  My phone is now in this state:
    native Apple apps (phone, messages, etc) and all their data (call logs, texts, etc) are still intact
    almost all purchased apps are gone
    none of the purchased apps that were left behind are on the computer, so that doesn't explain why they didn't get deleted with the rest
    So, what the HECK happened here?  Why did iTunes destroy all my apps when I told it not to?  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is this some strange iTunes bug that there's a magical fix to get all my apps back?  Please help.
    iTunes Version: 11.1.3
    Device: iPhone5, iOS 6.1

    go into the itunes store, go to your account, click purchase history. that gives you a list of all the things you have downloaded.
    you will be able to re-download all your apps for free.
    and for the songs, click "report problem", this will allow you to email apple, tell them that you have lost your songs, they will usually respond fairly quickly saying that they have put the songs back into your account and that they will be available to download the next time you go into itunes.

  • Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.

    You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app.

  • How to stop iTunes 9 from deleting all my app data ?!

    I used to sync my phone to two computers:
    - Media and apps on my iMac
    - "Info" (Calendars, Contacts) and Photos on my MacBook Air.
    I simply had different items checkmarked for synching on the two machines.
    This worked perfectly until iTunes 9. With 9, when I plugged into my Air to synch my calendar, it started copying all my apps to the laptop! I simply canceled that.
    NOW, when I connect back to my iMac, the phone instantly and automatically starts deleting all my apps and replacing them with fresh copies! I am losing ALL my vital app data! (Plus it started installing tons of unwanted apps that I had unchecked--which will fill up the phone at some point.)
    How can I stop this automatic deletion? I've now downloaded the 9.0.1 patch but I'm afraid to even plug in my phone again!
    Before canceling the synch, I've already lost everything through the "A's" including some vital work stuff and hours of hard-earned game progress. Some could be recovered via TIme Machine and restoring an older backup... but I have some really important stuff on my phone since that last backup, and I don't want to wipe it.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Wiping my phone, restoring from backup, AND wiping all iTunes related files (from a search in Library and in Music) seems to have stopped this behavior.
    (I couldn't wipe the iTunes files on the machine with my media and apps, but I did so on the other machine--where I only sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks. My iTunes library is empty there anyway.)
    I don't know if this relates to an "app synching" issue that iTunes 9.0.1 fixed. Could be.

    Hello caitmcd,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can also update the phone through iTunes directly if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, 11.1.
    You can download iTunes 11 here if needed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Cheers,

  • I hate iTunes.  It continues to download HD versions of movies when I tell it not to.  The movie I want is 4.4 gigs.  I have deleted all my apps and half my songs and still don't have enough space.  iTunes is near impossible to navigate.

    I have downloaded Oblivion six times and it continues to bring the HD version.  I have unchecked the "Download HD when available" but I continue to get a file that is 4.4 gigs large. 
    I hate iTunes. 

    You purchased the HD version, not the regular version.  It will continue to download the version you bought.  If you want the SD version you have to shell out for it.  Apple doesn't do returns.
    Watch your movie.  You can always put other stuff back on later, especially music.

  • Why when i want to sync my phone with the computer it wants to delete all my apps how do i not let this happen. this is a different computer to the 1 i always use. i have authorised this computer but still wants to delete my apps

    why when i want to sync my phone with the computer it wants to delete all my apps how do i not let this happen. this is a different computer to the 1 i always use. i have authorised this computer but still wants to delete my apps

    Why you can't redownload? Don't you have the Apple ID that used to download these apps?
    You can "transfer purchaces" by right click on your iphone in iTunes but i guess you computer is not authorized and will ask you to authorize with Apple ID. Try it.

  • I synced my ipad and deleted all my apps!

    i synced my ipad and it deleted all my apps!  I figured out how to get them back but now all my progress in the games is deleted!  I thought apple was the best electronics company, but this really ticked me off!

    There was definitely a warning that this would happen before you started the sync. It asks you if you  are sure that you want to replace the stuff on your iPad with this library. Please take the time to READ everything whenever you're doing something on the computer. Most guys just click ok or cancel on everything without reading and then wonder why their computer is infested with viruses and all kinds of spyware junk.

    You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

  • I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    I connected my ipad to my computer to sync my photos and it deleted all my apps, they synced back on to my ipad but all my Noteshelf apps items were deleted, how can I get these back?

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
