Library crashed how do i move the apps on my touch to new library

Long story short, the volume structure of the external hard where my itunes library was located disintegrated. Not all was lost, as I happened to have copied all of my music onto my wife's itunes (running on a separate external hard drive) so i still have all my music.
Ok, so what i want to do is switch my touch over to her itunes, the only problem i see now is potentially loosing all my apps. Ideally I would like to get all my apps transfered (including the ones i had deleted off the touch but were in itunes) however, my biggest concern is getting the apps on my touch now and importing them into the new library. Any thoughts on this? Does apple allow you to re-download apps or is there a record of all the apps you downloaded? Can i manually copy my apps from the touch to the new library? thanks for your help

Yes, provided you use the same iTunes Store account as you used originally. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • How do you move the app "icons" on the IPAD

    How do I move the app "icons" on my IPAD?  I want to drag some to the second page, but it's not letting me.

    Tap and hold down on the icon until it wiggles. While holding down on the icon - move it to the edge of the screen and then just hold it there for a couple of seconds - about halfway over to the next screen - just hold it - and then it will jump to the next screen.

    The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.

  • How can I move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder?

    I am using a syncing program to keep cookie exceptions on multiple computers all equivalent. Unfortunately this is causing a problem because places.sqlite changes frequently and cannot be synced while FF is running. So I want to move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder so I can only sync that one folder. Is there a way to specify the location of this file?

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • Old laptop crashed - how do I get the music stored on iPod into new laptop?

    My old laptop crashed so I cannot follow the instructions for moving my iTunes library to a new computer because I can no longer go into my old iTunes and switch it to manual update and enable disk use. How can I get the music stored on my iPod into my new iTunes? I have a 60GB iPod video. Thanks

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • HT1911 I changed my apple ID on my Ipad but the App Store window still shows my old ID when I elect to update my apps.  Unfortunately, I forgot my password and the email I used is no longer active.  How do I get the App store to recognize my new ID?

    I do not want to delete and reinstall all of the apps.  How do I get the Apple App store to recognize my new Apple ID and apply it to all of my installed apps?

    So I  am using an iPhone that was given to me and it has been restored to  factory defaults... However when I go to the AppStore I can still see  what the previous owner had downloaded and when I try to download that  app it gives me the message the OP had.

  • How do I move an App from the cloud to my iPad?

    I downloaded an App (Houston Chronicle for iPad) and somehow I placed it on the Cloud instead of on my iPad. How do I move the App to my iPad?

    BTW, your apps remain in the "cloud" regardless of if you think you "moved" them. You cannot delete them from the cloud. They will remain there until:
    1. Apple removes it from the App Store for some reason
    2. The developer chooses to have it removed from the App Store for some reason

  • How to move Oracle APPS 12 setup data to new APPS 12 production environment

    Dear All
    I need to know , how we can move Oracle APPS 12 setup data to new APPS 12 production environment?? What is the easy and secure way, we dont want to do the new installation of APPS 12 and re-setup the things....
    cheers

    Hi,
    Can you please explain more regarding to move setup from DEV to PROD instance.The steps are documented in the iSetup manual, so have you gone through the documentation?
    Also we would install PROD with multi tier nodes, and HA cluster. So in that case what would be the change to move the setups from DEV to PROD, as DEV is single node TEST APPS 12 installation.iSetup is helpful in moving the functional setup between the two instances. If you want to create an identical copy of your DEV instance to PROD instance (provided that both instances contain no data), then you can use "Rapid Clone" -- See (Note: 799735.1 - Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12).
    Regards,

    How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • How do I move an app from my desktop or system preference or finder onto the background?

    Like the question says how do  I move an app of mine from my doc or finder onto the main screen of my MBA. I am following the instructions but it is just not happenning.

    Thank s again for the posts. What I wanted to know was is the finder the most important item for you on the mac. As in how often do you use it.
    I basically use the Finder everytime I am on my computer.  The items stored in my Dock are my odds & ends apps except for my browser.
    For me navigating the mac is like going to a foriegn country and not knowing the language.
    I know the feeling.  I came from OS 9.x straight to OS 10.4.  Talk about culture shock!
    What has gotten me through it was my Rosetta Stone - The Missing Manuals.  I have purchased these books through each OS upgrades.  These books are my Bible.
    The following reference book:  OS X Mountain Lion: The Missing Manual - David Pogue .  This book is very easy reading, non technichal & non geeky.  I strongly recommend this book as it takes you step-by-step through Mountain Lion. 
    How long did it take you to learn to navigate the mac?
    Approximately 6 months as I was coming from Microsoft directly to OS 8.6.   In my mind, the Mac OS was the direct opposite of Microsoft.  I was clicking on the left side of the window when I should have been clicking on the right.
    Learning OS X took me about 1 1/2 years.  Huge learning curve for me.  Matter of fact, I am still learning.  Still looking for those Easter Eggs.

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.

    You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.
