I lost all my apps in itune after the update

HI,
I lost all my apps, music and videos after I updated itunes.  How can I get back all my content I purchased?
Thanks,

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Side bar missing from iTunes after the update o oct '14

    Please let me kow if there is side bar option in Itunes after the update.

    It's not missing. It's no longer used as you remember it. But there is no loss of functionality if you take some time to work with iTunes.

  • I've lost all my apps and music after iOS 5 update?

    This morning I updated my iPhone 4 from iOS 4 to iOS 5. It appeared to skip the syncing part of the update and now I've lost all my apps and music. They're still on my iTunes but my iPhone won't sync - it shows steps 2 and 3, and thn just stops. Help?

    No, you media like apps and music should be OK. For the problem see:

  • Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash

    Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed.  itune store doesn't show all my purchases.  How do I get all my music back?

    Browse your iTunes folder.  Do you have files in folder in your media folder?  In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
    Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right?

  • TS2755 after update, my phone shows I have new iMessages, but I do not and I cannot clear this.  Also I lost all my previous text messages before the update.

    After the update, all my previous texts are gone and my icon shows I have new texts.  How do I clear my icon so it shows no new texts?

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • TS1702 Lost all my documents in pages after ios update on both iphone and ipad

    Have anyone else had that problem? And what did you do? (Except from crying)

    Eek! I don't know how I save as a file, so no. As for iCloud , I did back up last week but am not too sure if it was before or after the update.  I don't even know know how to find out what was backed up on iCloud. I will look in to that now. Thankyou.

  • I have 5 iphones on one account and all contacts have merged together after the update

    I have 5 iPhones and they are all on the family plan, so we all use the same account and now all of our contacts have merged together after the update to ios5. What do I do?

    your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

  • I have lost all my apps and voicemails after updating both itunes and iphone, where are they?!?

      hi everyone
    After spending hours at the pc today i finally updated itunes
    After doing this i updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5, it was backed up prior to the update.
    i finally managed to update to ios 5 after about 5 attempts, but now i have no voicemails (which i need as i have a car insurance claim going through and that was my proof they were in the wrong!!) and no apps!!
    When i first tried to resync my iphone to itunes it didnt recognise it but now it does.
    Prior back up has DISSAPEARED!!!
    Help?!?

    Contact iTunes support & request they add the lost music to your iTunes download queue:

    Apps, you can re-download for free.

  • Lost all Playlists in MAC iTunes AFTER Upgrading Windows iTunes to v.10.7 (via Parallels) - HELP!

    I HAVE iTUNES v 10.6x installed on my Macbook Pro - been using for quite awhile without issues.  All Updates to iTunes have gone just fine.  I also use Parallels Desktop with Windows XP Pro installed on it and within that Windows installation on this Mac, I have installed many software programs -- all okay for over 3 years - no real issues.  I also have installed iTunes in the Windows, but never really used the Preferences of iTunes to use its Advanced settings to change the location of the Library to the same location of the Mac's iTunes -- the Library is on an external HD.  The use of iTunes in Windows was never really used because I never had the right location of the Library set in Preferences. 
    About 5 days ago, while in Windows XP, I got an Apple Software Upgrade Notice that a new version of iTunes was available for download -- Version 10.7.  Not thinking about it then, I told myself that when I finished upgrading inside Windows that I would exit Windows and while in Macbook Pro's OS X 10.5.8, i just knew there would be an Apple Software Update Notice to also update my Mac's iTunes to version 10.7 also.  That's what I planned to do while still in Windows. While installing the update to version 10.7 within Windows, I thought I'd try to set the proper location for the Library file using iTunes' Preferences and Advance Tab.  I finished the upgrade to 10.7, went into Preferences and Advanced Tab and did just that and set the correct location on the external harddisk then tried to play songs using my Windows XP's upgraded iTunes.  IT WORKED JUST FINE.
    I now exited from Windows and went back to straight Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8 and tried to check for this upgrade for iTunes from 10.6x to 10.7 by going to the Apple Website and downloaded this from there.  When I then attempted to install the downloaded 10.7 (to replace/update my 10.6x) it would not install because my OS X 10.5.8 is not useable for the new 10.7.  Okay, I'd just use my tried and true version 10.6x.  WRONG!!!!!
    When I attempted to open my iTunes on the Mac, it would open, but all my normal screen views were gone -- NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER.  The Music folder (the Library?) was fine but all songs had the infamous "!" MARK next to each and every song -- not playable.  So, remembering the Library location setting in Preferences was the way to "reset" iTunes so the Library would be recognized and useable, I went into Preferences and reset the Library to the proper and same location as it always had been (and, where I had just previously set the Windows' iTunes to).  Now the "!" marks were gone and each song in the Music Folder played just fine.  BUT, NO PLAYLISTS WHATSOEVER.  ALL MY ORGANIZATION EFFORTS FOR YEARS WAS GONE!!!
    My thoughts are that the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7 changed some key iTunes files common to both operating systems on the Macbook Pro, Parallels Desktop, and Windows XP installation -- some Windows iTunes program files are kept and store in the same default location as the Mac's and on the internal hard drive of the Mac.
    Because, in further researching this problem, I found that the "iTUNES LIBRARY.itl" file located on the Mac's hard drive had, in fact, been changed by the Windows iTunes upgrade to 10.7!!!!!!  THOSE CHANGES "CORRUPTED" THIS FILE TO USE IN THE MAC iTUNES PROGRAM AND THE PLAYLISTS ARE GONE.  I also use this software in this effort:  PARALLELS DESKTOP VER 7.X, FULLY UPDATED WINDOWS XP PRO, FULLY UPDATE AS MUCH AS APPLE HAS PROVIDED TO MY OS X 10.5.8 (I CAN'T UPGRADE TO LION), AND OF COURSE iTUNES 10.6x.
    THEREFORE, WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD/COULD I DO TO GET THE PLAYLISTS BACK INTO MY MAC OS X 10.5.8 iTUNES?  I DON'T CARE TO USE THE WINDOWS iTUNES ANYMORE -- I'LL JUST STAY WITH MY MAC'S.  PLEASE HELP!!!  THANK YOU.

  • Lost all my media in iTunes after moving them to a 2d hard drive!

    I recently installed a slave hard drive on my PC to free up space for the master drive. Since the stuff on my iTunes was taking up a lot of space, I moved it to the slave drive. However, when I open iTunes, everything has been completely cleared! The songs do appear on the other drive in an iTunes folder. Is there any way I can import all this stuff back into iTunes without having to do it one by one? Or is there a way to just restore the old iTunes list? Thanks!

    First, there are a lot of articles on moving your iTunes music to an external hard drive or second hard drive - check those out. I know in iTunes itself you need to go into preferences, advanced, general and tell it where the new iTunes folder will be located. Then if I recall correctly (the articles on moving iTunes from the default location) you drag the iTunes library file to your desktop, restart iTunes and use File-Import to import that library list.

  • I lost all my photos in iPhoto after I updated the iPhoto thumbnails.  How do I get my pictures back?

    After I updated the thumbnails, my iPhoto could not even open, but when I did, all my photos were gone.  Is there a way to recover those photos that I lost?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Today withI have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile after Firefox updated to the newest versionout asking me first

    I have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile etc after Firefox updated to the newest version today without asking me first. I liked what I had & several times a day it would say there are updates but I closed those popups or messages. Im now using the latest version just so I can have some use while I try to sort this out & get help.

    I'm adding that I tried system restore several times .... & my last full backup.... but each time something was corrupted or would not launch or there was no '''.exe '''file in the program folder...Ive never seen this before, & the Mozilla backup I had was useless... it was unable to launch either

  • How do I get iTunes & the App Store back after the update.

    When I updated my phone to iOS 6, I lost iTunes & the App Store. I tried opening iTunes on my computer & doing a restore, however, that caused me to lose the rest of the apps on my phone & since my computer runs on Windows I can't sync apps. How do I fix this?

    Go into settings > iTunes and App store.. your friends email will appear there.. tap and hold until it highlights gray.. then a box will come up  press sign out and then enter your user cardentials where your friends were.
