IOS update to 5.1 now all purchased apps are missing

I just completed the iOS update on my husband's phone & all of his purchased apps are missing. They are not in his phone, nor are they in iTunes despite a previous back up. Where are they & how do I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark.

WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The App store crashing is a known problem.

A new firmware update this morning and now all my backups are missing? How to re-connect?, A new firmware update this morning and now all my backups are missing? How to re-connect?

This morning I noticed my time capsule was blinking amber. I opened utility and I found that all of the airport devices needed a firmware update.
I ran that with no problems. I then found tonight that my time capsule had "delayed" backup and said it couldn't find the disk. I re-pointed it to the TC and it says I have no backups and wants to start from scratch. This is a concern and a bit annoying.
Any way to find my previous backups and reconnect it?
Thanks.

Looking in the time capsule preferences, it looks like the name of the disk has slightly changed to add a "3" at the end. Not sure how to change it back.
When I use airport utility and look at the disk, it says something like half the disk has been used, so obviously my backups are still there. Just not sure how to re-connect so backups aren't lost or duplicated.

Updated ipad to iso7 and all purchased apps are not listed any more.

Anyone else lose your purchases with iso7 up date?

it may resolve itself. The app store has been buggy all week so I'd just give it some time and see if it fixes itself.

I just installed 5.0 now all my apps are missing and so is all my music.

How do I get my apps back? Can I undo this HORRIBLE update?

You can get your music back, because it should be in your iTunes anyways.
But you'll only get your apps back if you transferred your new app purchases over to iTunes before you updated.

I've re-installed Lion using the cmd-r/boot re-install option and now all iLife apps are missing, how do I get them back?

Hi Folks,
after about 10 hours of usage, my new (and I mean new and expensive) MacBook Pro refused to boot. The support folks were good and as I hadn't yet created and files on the machine suggested I just did (as suggested by apple) a wipe and re-install as described in the subject line.
Now I have no iPhoto, no iDVD and a few other apps I don't really care about. What can I do to get them back.
please help, loseing the will to live here after trawling 2 hours of old posts
best regards,
Sam.

Hi Twitty,
hmm, I knew I was missing something fairly obvious. I went into AppStore and the apps were there with an "accept" option rather than a price. I've started the download.
I've no idea if this means I'll be charged or not. I never got a screen with a price on it so hopefully not.
thanks for your quick response,
Sam.

Since updating to iOS5, the delete buttons on all my apps are missing. I did a hard shutdown, but that did not resolve the issue. Would appreciate any suggestions to restore this feature.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync. Just sync them back
