I have lost my apps for my ipad when I did a sync. Not sure why, maybe because I had to replace a hard drive. How do I get my apps back, a lot of them.

My hard drive got corrupted and I had to install a new hard drive and when I opened iTunes it asked if I wanted to sync which it did but then I lost all my apps I had on my iPad. I dont know why. I tried restoring from a previous backup, but that didn't work. I know I can reinstall the apps but I dont even remember all the ones I did have. Can anyone help.
With kind regards

The apps that you had will be listed in your purchase history if you login to your account in iTunes on your computer - the list isn't very user friendly though as it's listed by date order and will include all app updates that you've downloaded (so an app will appear multiple times if you've downloaded it's updates). You can re-download apps, though it's a manual process as you need to find them yourself in the app store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .
If the apps are in your iTunes library then the restore might work - a backup contains app data/settings, but not the app itself, so without the app available to it the restore can't install the app and therefore it's content.
