IPhone messed up before I was able to back it up, it messed up my apps...
I had been experiencing various app crashes and a general slow-running system on my iPhone, so I decided that it would be best if I restored it. However, before I was able to do so, my iPhone completely crashed and I was forced to do a restore without properly backing it up. This was not a very smart move on my part, as I had downloaded several apps (some of which were 'free for a limited time') on the iPhone which weren't transferred to my computer. One of these apps in particular, which was free for a limited time, I used frequently. I was wondering, as I did download it and was using it for over a month, if there is a way that I can re-download that app without having to pay for it (now its price has returned to normal). I know that the original price is not very expensive - and if paying is the only way to get it again, I am fine with it - but I was just wondering if there was a chance that I could download it for free. Thanks for any suggestions!
Welcome to the discussions,
if you don't have a backup of your itunes/Mobile Applications folder which was part of your regular PC -backup routine or a backup of your iphone backup, you'll probably have to buy the app again. Even if you show the developers of the app your itunes download history, you would be very lucky if they grant you a second download for free.

I received my week 16 MBP yesterday morning. It has been perfect thus far. Quite the improvment over my old iBook. I do hear some noises rarely but not enough to make me think there is a problem, I believe they are just the standard purrs and ticks of a high-powered computer. It doesn't run hot. I'd say cool to rather warm if used heavily. I hope I have a problem free experiance. I would hate for this product to tarnish Apple's reputation, that would be unacceptable considering this product is amazing. I will say this; I called Applecare, more out of curiousity than anything else and told them that I had just purchased an MBP and, while mine was fine, I had heard allot of disturbing reports about noise and heat. I asked point blank if Apple was aware of any issues and if they where working to resolve it. The answer I got was surprisingly forward. I was informed that they were "VERY" aware and working to correct the issues. He then told me I was lucky to recieve one of the quiet MBPs. I hope they work it out soon.

Can someone please help me with a Macbook Pro booting question?
Recently, my mid 2010 MacBook Pro has started acting up when I am on Safari. Safari would unexpectedly crash multiple times in a row, then run fine for a while, then again, crash repeatedly. Not long after this began happening, an error message from my Prosoft Drive Genius 3 software, threw out a message that a serious error had occurred and I needed to repair the HD volume. Before I was able to run the software to repair the HD volume, the machine stopped working. I turned off the Macbook and when I tried to restart, it would not boot. I have since removed all external hardware from my machine and tried several times, unsuccessfully, to boot. I have also tried booting in safe mode when also does not work.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.Try SMC reset:
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. (four keys together)
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. -
Hello! I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes. My phone is connected to my computer, (was able to import pics) but I cannot manage my apps or music in iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it says 'no iPhone found'. It then takes me to Apple Support that says:
The device cannot be restored in iTunes.
An exclamation point, question mark, plug symbol, or "X" appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager.
During an update or restore, the device may no longer be recognized by iTunes
HELP!Hello, Shandey.

Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.
You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app. -

Before, I was able to transfer Album Cover Art from on-line sources to albums that iTunes didn't have (even tho several were purchased thru them!) now I can't. If it is still possible, how do I do so?
Hey Two Wolves,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can still add your own Album Artwork to music in iTunes:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
Add artwork to music and video
Do any of the following:
- Add artwork to one item at a time:
1. Select an item in your iTunes library and choose File > Get Info.
2. Click Artwork and do one of the following:
- Click Add, select an image file, and click Open.
- Drag the art file to the artwork area.
3. To add artwork to another item, click Next or Previous.
- Add the same artwork to multiple items: Select the items, choose File > Get Info, click Info, and drag an image file to the Artwork area.
- Retrieve album artwork for songs in your library from the iTunes Store: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu.
Thanks,

My computer crashed before I was able to deactivate my Visual Communicator 3 software. Please help! I have my disc, but cannot activate my program again. I have projects that I cannot access. Please help!
I wish I could help, but I am in a similar situation.
I need to deactivate it because we are getting rid of the computer it is on and are buying a new one. When I go to Help there is no Deactivate option. The only options are: "Help", "Hide Coach", "Tip of the Day", "Adobe Website", "Technical Support Website", "Frequently Asked Questions", "Check for Updates", "Register", "Download e-License..." (Greyed out), "Return e-License..." (Greyed out) and "About Adobe Visual Communicator 3". I spoke with support through chat and they said my product was no longer supported.

I had water damage to my iphone5 when I was deployed w/ the military overseas. How can I find out what saved to icloud and how to see where my photos are. I don't know when it was able to back up as wi fi was pretty sketchy. please advise. thx in advance
My iphone is toast, I know I checked on icloud and see my emails from the day before it happened. Can I see when and what my phone backed up through itunes or icloud?
Please please help i am lost.This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
My old PC died and I got a new one. I was able to back up the old PC and downloaded my iTunes library on the new PC. I keep getting a message saying: "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on this iPod. Would you like to authorize this computer for the items purchased from the iTunes store?" I have authorized the new PC, but it continues to ask me over and over, and if I authorize it again, it tells me I already authorized. So frustrating! I deactivated the old PC and activated the new one.
Also, I purchased a song from iTunes store and while it shows in my library on the PC, it won't download to the iPod. Why won't the new song download to the iPod?
Any ideas. suggestions?Well Authorize the Computer...........

resetpassword
If you have Snow Leopard, boot into your install DVD pressing C button, click "Utilities" and press Password Reset -
Today I lost my IPad and was FREAKING OUT !!!!! When a couple of store attendants told me to use the ICLOUD find my Iphone option in order to erase all the content just in case it fell into wrong hands. Within an hour via survelance video we located the ipad prior to being able to connect to internet and erase everything.
Now I am keeping the power off keeping it untouched or unerased, QUESTION TO COMMUNITY???? Is there a way for me to successfully avoid the erase process that is due to occurr once I power up and hit the WIFI???? Appreciate any input up front, BRfromGRYou cannot prevent it from being erased now. But surely you backup with iCloud or iTunes and/or sync with iTunes so when you get the iPad up and running again, just restore from your iCloud backup, or your iTunes backup and then sync with iTunes again and you will be OK.
If you don't backup or sync .... Well then you should probably think about doing so in the future. Out of the mouth of a Apple ......
If you erase then find your iOS device, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see iCloud storage and backup overview, or your device’s user guide in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.
