IOS upgrade forced an Apple ID change. Now my Apps are Broken!
Hi all, after 25 years of using macs I've finally encountered something that isn't intuitive!
I have had the same Apple ID for about 7 or 8 years, however when I upgraded my iPhone to ios5 a couple of months ago I could not get past the upgrade process because my Apple ID was being rejected. All my other Macs and iPad were still logged in to the iTunes Store so I couldn't understand why. However it looks like iOS5 requires the User Name to now be an email address. I could no longer use my perfectly functioning existing User Name, and instead had to change it to be my email address, which I did online with the account management function of the Apple Website.
However now it appears that my previous Apps are no longer considered part of my account. I've just bought a new iPad and wish to migrate my old iPad, account and Apps to it, however most of my Apps are not listed if I attempt to 'sync' Apps. How can I get it all to unify again? thanks!
To answer my own question, to get around the problem I didn't auto-sync my Apps in the end! I just manually selected the ones I wanted and tried to duplicate what I had on my old iPad. A bit hit-and-miss and very time consuming, as I had my iPad set up in a very particular way. It's a shame because migration assistant on my macs allows me to clone every last setting to my new macs - docs, apps, system, desktop, the lot. Why can't the iPad be the same!

I had put off upgrading my iPhone 4 to the iOS6 and only gave in to it about a week ago when I thought that the trouble I was having with a select few apps was because of my outdated operating system. Now, I'm regretting it terribly and would either like to know how to revert back to iOS5 or fix this irritating as all **** and unproductive system. I had backed up my phone right before upgrading thinking that that way, I could just restore to it if I didn't like iOS6, but now I'm seeing that restoring to that point does not in fact restore firmware.
Now I have a maps app that won't help me plan through public transit.
An email app that will not update my inbox or any box even though it falslely says it checked and there was simply nothing new.
Every other app I have crashes constantly.
When I turn on the iPod/music function, there's an extended delay before the music will actually start playing.
The shuffle function is messed up (if I'm playing a tracklist of 38 songs, it will only shuffle a few of them and just keep looping through those few tracks).
etc etc
My contract is almost up and I was hoping that all the negative stuff I had heard about iOS6 would have been resolved by now so that I could confidently by the next iPhone, but at this rate, I'll be ditching Apple's phone entirely.Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

one of my friend updated her iPhone with my apple id and now her contacts are inside my iPhone , she has deleted my contact which has been i her contact , how can i bring back my contact ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone. -
I just upgraded to mountain lion osx and now my applications are crossed out and out of date. they will not run. how do i fix this?
Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open, modify and save your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Hi, I update the iOS and now some app are in other language
hi, I update the iOS and now some app are in other language
Did you change your credit card in itunes under your account to one from another country. That sometimes will change the language on your apps try This "Click on your email address in the top right of iTunes to get to your account details, then click the "change" button next to your "Country/Region". Select a country for which you have (access to) a credit card. iTunes will ask you for credit card information when you save this country setting.

am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.
iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device. -
Hi, I set up my new iPhone S4 with iclouds. So the data of my old S3 should move to the S4. However, some applications could not be loaded on the S04. Now some apps are loaded and others not . How can I progress?
Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly. -
ITunes library help - moved to external drive and now my apps are gone?
I moved my iTunes library to an external drive, but now my apps are gone? I do have iTunes match and iCloud, so my songs are all on the cloud, but none of my apps are showing...
I copied everything over, consolidated, but I must have messed something up as I think I have too many library files on the external drive now. I can see all my files on the external drive, but they are not showing up when I open itunes. It looks like it linked to a new copy of a library as only my most recent apps are showing, nad none of my existing ones are on itunes. What should I do to fix this? How do I know which files to delete?
Thanks.I followed the instructions from Apple support to move itunes to an external drive, did what it said (obviously I messed something up). I then started itunes and missed the part where it says to tell itunes where the library was, and consequently itunes created a new library with none of my apps or anything in it.
All of my music is on icloud and I als ohave itunes match, so all of my music is on the cloud.
I have read some of the other postings to delete the newly made (and missing apps) itunes library file and ithen point it to the correct library file, but I am now paranoid I would delete the wrong one.
Thanks in advance for your help. -

Aren't they in your iTunes library? If so, sync them back to your phone. If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
