I've reset my ipad and lost all my in-app purchases

I recently had a problem with my iPad and the Genius at the Apple Store advised that I reboot my iPad "as new" (not from backup) and then get all my Apps again from the "Purchased" section of the App Store.  I've done this, but now I seem to have lost all my in-app purchases.  E.g. when you pay to get more levels on a game etc.  Any ideas how I get these back? 

Hi all
Never mind... after I posted this, I then noticed the "similar questions" on the right... and the answer was there:

  • I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos.  Any ideas how to get them back?

    I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos.  Does anyone know how to restore them?

    All you can do is restore from backup if yu have one. If you backed up to iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the backup with you data might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devicesand check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though during the process they were backed up to my Itunes. Can I get them back?

    I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though they were backed up to Itunes during the process.  Whenever I plug my ipad into my computer the apps that appear in Itunes are from my ipod touch.  How can I get my apps back without purchasing them again?

    On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
    Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

    Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
    If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

  • I had to reset my phone and lost all my ringtones, how do i get my ringtones back if I already bought them?

    I had to reset my iPhone, and when I did I lost all my music and ringtones and all my apps. Well i was able to get my apps and the other music that I bought on iTunes back onto my phone but my ringtones are still missing. I don't want to go buy them again. How do I download them back to my phone? I have spend lots of money on ringtones on my phone. It happened before when I got a new phone and lost all of them. But I really want to know how to download and get them back.

    Yes.

  • Wrong passcode RESET my phone and lost all data!!!

    This morning my wife went to use my phone, she wanted to show my daughter some photos I took yesterday.  She wasnt aware that I changed my passcode recently (she knew my old one).  After attempting to enter my old passcode 3 times incorrectly, the phone shut down to the black + apple logo boot screen and came back into the factory reset state (the same state as when you buy the phone, with the welcome/setup flow).
    I was baffled at how this could have happened, so I called Apple support.  The technitian I spoke with had no idea how that could hav happened and asked me to check for iCloud or iTunes backups.  Unfortunately I had not backed my phone up in the past 2 weeks of using my new 4S, and I didnt setup iCloud backup.  So there was no solution available from Apple, I had to start all over and lost all my data.
    After looking into this more, I cannot figure out how this could have happened.  I did not set the Passcode setting to erase all data after 10 failed passcode attempts (plus my wife only tried 3 times). 
    I assume this is a big bug in the new OS (5) or some clever scam to get people to start using iCloud for backups.  Word to the wise, backup or use iCloud, and check your passcode settings for that erase feature.  If anyone has any clue how this could have happened I would love to hear.

    I do, but it is from a few weeks ago when I backed up my old 3GS to restore my brand new 4S.  So I did restore to that backup but lost the past 3 weeks of photos, apps changes and more.  I just had a baby too, so I really screwed the pooch by not backing up or using iCloud.  I just cant imagine the data isnt still on the phone somehow, but maybe it did get wiped.
    In any case, seems like a scary bug out there that others may hit, wanted to post this to help others. 

  • HT1414 I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before and lost all my photos, apps, contacts before.  Is there any way to recover the deleted photos deleted ?

    I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before ans as a result I lost all my photos, apps, and contacts.  I will like to recover the deleted photos as they are very important to me,  it's there a way to recover them?

    did you ever do a backup.  cause if you did say like a year ago.  it should still be there and you could at least get the info back until that date.

  • On my IPAD I have two games apps stuck on waiting, in the apps store they say installing. I cannot delete them or get them to install, the icons do not have crosses on them if I hold them down. I have reset the ipad and can still load other apps.

    Have tried other suggestions on the community but none seem to work. This is the only apple unit I have I do not have laptop or ipod. Any suggestions

    Well, typically one of the fixes that I would suggest is to try to delete the waiting icons. WIFi in a public places like McDonalds, Starbucks, B&N, etc. is not the greatest and I would avoid those places for downloading and updating apps. But I do realize that not everybody has access to Wifi in their homes.
    These are all things that have worked at one time or another for other users. Hopefull one of them will work for you. Just ignore whatever does not apply or anything that you have already tried.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Downloaded Adobe design suit web premium in 2012 and lost all information on that purchase because Apple wiped my mac clean...What do I do?

    So I brought my Mac book pro retina to Apple to fix a glitch. The Technician called me and told me to come back it up before he does anything else. So I go pick it up and bring it home to find out the whole computer had be factory reset. I was pissed cuz why should I have bothered to pick it up if he already wiped the memory he told me to come back up. So i bring it back and complain to them but they obviously can't bring back that information once it's been factory reset. I also can't sue them for their f-up cuz you sign a stupid piece of paper that says if they f-up and lose any memory that its your fault for not backing it up. Anyways this poses a huge problem for me because I have now lost all my Adobe programs. I download the suit online instead of getting a disk because this mac has no cd port and at the time I didn't have an external one. Not sure what email I used to buy the program with either....I also don't think posting this in a forum will help either but adobe only gave me that option as a form of help....it doesn't help if i need to directly talk to someone in their company. I really don't wanna have to buy the program over again cuz who has the money to buy a several hundred dollar program twice? I know I don't.
    I'm guessing I have to call their customer service, but does anyone else have any ideas?

    if you have access to your serial number, download the installation files and install.
    if you registered your software with adobe, or you purchased and downloaded from adobe, check your account for the serial number:  https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    otherwise, contact adobe support and see if they can help you with your serial number, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

    thanks
    rock

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!
