If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

    My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?
    All I know is that my itunes has not been updated. If this is the problem, I tried to close and reopen the program but the "update" popup isn't popping up anymore and I'm not sure where I can manually update it myself.
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • My Ipod Touch is broken how can I fix it?

    My ipod touch has been messed up for a while and I have already sent it in to the apple company once and I think they gave me a new one. It worked for about 2  weeks perfectly fine well then it started to freeze and every time I stopped playing with it for only a minute it would comepletely shut down and I had to press the home button and the power button for about 15 to 20 seconds sometimes it would not turn on at all and I would have to leave it alone for a while and then try it again.I also tried completely charging it and then playing on it and I would set it down for a minute try to turn it back on and it would say that it was dead right after I charged it all night. Well anyways I was tired of it freezing and shutting down and not turning on so I thought restoring it may help well I did that and now it says that the device is damaged and can not be activated for service. Well one time I set it in my sisters purse and when I took it out it had a crack and I am thinking that maybe that is what is causing all the problems, but the problems started before It got a crack in it. So I am not for sure what it is. Is there anyway to fix this without having to pay to get a new one?  Can I send it to the apple company if I can not fix it even with the crack in it?

    Apple will fix it with the crack but all repair will have to be paid for.  The crack really ends your warranty for all problems.

    There are third-party places that can fix it less expensively than Apple:

  • I have forgotten my passcode to unlock my ipod touch 4th gen how do I fix it

    I have changed my pass code to unlock my home screen on my Ipod touch 4th generation and have forgotten it how do I get into my ipod?

    You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • I can't use the swipe feature on my ipod touch 5. How can I fix this?

    My ipod touch 5, 28 GB will not allow me to swipe or scroll.  I have to tap the feature I want then a box appears around it & then I have to double-tap to get it to work.  I can't access anything that is not on the first screen because I can't scroll down.  I have no idea what to do to fix this. 

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • TS1363 ipod is disabled how do i fix this problem?

    My ipod has been disable how do i fix this problem?

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
