Lost all Apple App's in Upgrade from G5 Dual 2.5GHz to the G5 Quad

I just got the new G5 Quad and did the Firewire rehost of all my data. Interstingly enough, all my app's like Reason, PhotoShop, Premier, Poser, Bryce, Maya, even MS Office and ZBrush moved right over with their respective serial numbers however Shake, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Final Cut Pro HD, Compressor, LiveType and Cinema Tools all refuse to work without their serial numbers being re-entered. If you try to re-enter your serial# it tells you it is no good.
All I could do was throw all the Apple professional applications away and re-install them. Then the system would accept the same serial #'s it refused to accept before. I'm not sure is will work for all Pro App's yet as I've only had time to do Shake and Motion.
Anyone else seen this?
G-5 Quad 2.5GHz, Powerbook 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Did you use the Migration Assistant? If so, that could be the problem. It probably didn't copy some important invisible files. I always suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner via Firewire Target Disk mode to clone a drive over.

I was having ios 4.3 and decided to upgrade to ios 5 and in doing so I lost all my apps despite I restored from my earlier back up. The itunes I've backed up is different from the itunes I have used to upgrade-..

I was having ios 4.3 and decided to upgrade to ios 5 and in doing so I lost all my apps despite I restored from my earlier back up. The itunes I’ve backed up is different from the itunes I have used to upgrade….. I was wondering if I can get back my apps that were purchased using different apple ID (not mine). Since I am in Ethiopia doesn’t even have the chance to buy it again. I have searched it in my computer/c/user/adminstrator….but couldn’t find it. Anyone p/l help

When I updated my iPhone to IOS 5, I did it from my MB Air, when my iPhone's "home" is my work 27" iMac. I figured I could just download the new OS at home where internet is fast and then sync at office and be done.
WRONG!!! So, like others here, all my apps were "gone."
Following some of what I read above, I did the following and now all my apps that I purchased in the past are downloading to my 27".
In iTunes I went to Purchased, under "Store" in left column of iTunes.
Then at the bottom of the Purchased screen was something like Download all apps, borrom right (sorry, cant see it now, its downloading all of them). Once I hit that, I could see all my apps and it looks like they are all coming back.
Now all I have to do is put them all like I had them before, folders, etc. That will be a pain BUT at least I have all of them.

I lost all my photos when I upgraded from Iphoto to Photos

I lost all my photos when I upgrade from Iphoto to photos, can I get back? please help

You need to provide more details about what happened. But, here is something you can check.
When you run Photo and it converts your library, it doesn't delete the iPhoto library. Look in your Pictures folder - you should see two libraries:
iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (this is the original iPhoto library)
Photos Library.photoslibrary (this is the new Photos library)
You should still be able to open the original iPhoto library. The iPhoto application was not deleted from your computer. (It was probably removed from your Dock if you had an icon there.) Look in the Applications folder, find iPhoto, and run it. It should show your original library with all your original images.
It is always a good idea to back up your photos (and the iPhoto library) before trying these migrations. Problems do occur...
Hope this helps.

Lost all my diary entries after upgrading from iPhone 4S to iPhone 5!t

I just upgraded my iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5... The transferring of information was fairly painless. EXCEPT I've lost all my calender entries for the standard issue iPhone calender as well as my Female tracker.... This is important information and I cannot seem to get access to it even though I backed up everything. What can I do? I'm going to miss important appointments!

Did you keep your calendar elsewhere? Or only on the iPhone calendar?

I upgraded my software and lost some apps.

I tried this and it did not work for. When I go to the APP Store it think the apps are on my devide so I cannot download them again unfortunately I cannot find teh apps on my devide even if I search for them.
ALso if I re-sync with itunes the apps reinstall but immediately disappear after the install completes.
Neat trick but incredibly annoying.
Any know my next option.

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can 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 back to your iPhone - 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.

I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost all my apps on my iPad. They are in iTunes, but iTunes will not sync because "the pairing record is missing." HELP!

On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
You can re download iTunes purchases for free if necessary > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
Reset iPhone settings - iPhone

Thanks,

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music

I have upgraded my iTunes for Windows and I have lost all my apps and music.
Although i signed in with my iTunes account, i can see only 5 apps (that i downloaded in the last 2-3 days), although on my iPad and iPhone i have more than 100 apps.
If i connect my devices to iTunes, the syncronisation will be made the other way, from iTunes to iPhone/iPad, so i will lose everything.
1. How can i restore these apps from the iCloud back-ups from my devices to my iTunes? Or any other method possible?
2. If you can also give me a suggestion about how to find my music playlists, that would save me from a lot of useless work on creating them again.
Thank you!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I had to reinstall a harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps, where can I get a new Apple Works?

I had to reinstall a failed harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps. Where can I get Apple Works?

Allan:
It did not work on my SL Mac Mini and I am sure you will have the same results.
I need to find a quick and easy download PPC application for someone on this forum who is having problems in Snow Leopard and I want to rule out that it is PPC that is the problem. I had suggested he download Appleworks for this purpose; ooooops!
Can you think of a quick and dirty PPC app to download?
Yes, he has Rosetta installed...
I am almost positive that the problem is that his game was released in 2003 when OS X was 10.2.x and it just will NOT function in Snow Leopard without some patch or upgrade.
I am getting my hands on a copy of this game tomorrow, so I will go down that path for him, too!
