Lost all apps, how do I get them back without paying?

I updated my os earlier today, and walked away from my phone/computer. I came back to find my cat fighting my wire, and he had pulled it out of my phone during the update. Of course, this was the one time I didn't backup because it wasn't my computer. So I plugged my phone into my laptop and went to turn it on, only to find that someone had spilled something all over it, and I cannot get it to turn on. I lost everything, but most of all I want my apps back, I had quite a few. I looked around on the app store for something like download previous downloaded apps but didnt see anything. ANy help?

ive recentley restored my iphone abd lost all my music how can i get them back without paying for them again

Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer? Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart. Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

Log into iTunes using the account the Purchase was made with... Click on Buy... and a notice will come up saying you already have it... do you wish to download it again... Click Yes...

Installed Ios7 on 4s lost my apps how do I get them back

I lost my apps on phone after ios7 update I found them on app updates how do I put them back on phone

With all due respect, I think it's a bug when what is added are several blank screens separating a full screen of icons and the REST of the icons. I actually had 2 entirely blank screens before the majority of my icons started appearing again. I consider it a bug when many people have the same problem over a rather simple procedure. As people have found out, the apps were not "lost" in terms of being uninstalled...they were simply misplaced. Its not too difficult to understand someone's concern when when 5 pages of apps are seemingly replaced with one full screen and a single app on the following page and then blank pages....is it? I don't understand your statement below, when that is exactly the problem many were having and was a solution was explained by Joao81
above...after reading his post, the problem was solved. Call it what you want, it is a problem...just Google it.
"It would have been a bug if it scrambled your icons with the new ones, or put the new ones on a later page where you might never see them."
Isn't that what I said?

To expand upon what gdgmacguy wrote, if you imported the photos thru iTunes to your iPhone, the photos are still on your computer.
If you took photos with your iPhone, they are in the backup. Did you restore from this backup?

Try restoring your device.

Full Adobe products installations lost with Windows "Refresh." How do I get them back without paying again?

Had many full Adobe products legally installed on my computer, needed to fix errors so did a Windows "Refresh," now all gone and Adobe doesn't recognize me as having had them. What do I do? I'm signed in, but the Adobe DL site is offering me free 30-day trials, and I think I must "own" 20 or so of Adobe's products: Elements, Premier movie maker, Edge, Lightbopx, Acrobat Pro, etc.

I don't see how I'll be notified if someone answers. My email address is [email protected] TY All. Also, if your answer is "you'll be prompted to enter your serial number for the products you legitimately own," (since I just discovered this while installing Acrobat), then my answer to that is (1) did the "refresh" not also remove all records of my registrations, (2), if not, where would I find the numbers, and (3) doesn't signing in to Adobe not provide me access to those things? [Sorry to be such a PITA)

After my computer crashed, i reinstalled itunes but lost most of my purchased items. How can i get them back without paying for them again?

so after the annoying reintallment of everything on my computer, there were a bunch of music and app that i have not backed up on an external HD. now that itunes hasx been re-installed, i want those items back, but don't want to sync my iphone for fear of losing everything on the phone (apps, music, etc.) that were purchased.

Log into your iTunes account on the new comptuer and when you hook up your iPhone there will be a option to reverese sync your iTunes purchased content ONLY, back into iTunes.

HT204088 I have reset mt iPad3 and lost my iBooks, books it keeps coming up with error how can I get them back without paying again

Help anyone please

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic book (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iBook store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Just downloaded Maverick and lost the apps I purchased - Notes and Bejeweled 3. How do I get them back without repurchasing?

I just dowloaded Maverick and lost the Apps I purchased: Notes and Bejeweled 3. How do I get them back without paying for them again?

Thanks so much for being out there for me - someone I can talk to. I went to purchases and unfortunately it is no longer there. I dowloaded the Notes App again for free. I will just buy Bejeweled again. I guess the price of downloading maverick was losing my beloved video game. But you have put my mind at ease - I appreciate knowing I did all I could do to recover it.

HT201272 I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back?

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?

All of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

Everything should be on your computer.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

All of my purchased ringtones and songs dissapeared out of the blue. How do I get them back without having to buy them all over again?

Out of the blue, all of my purchased ringtones and music aren't displayed anymore on my iPhone.
I went to iTunes to see if they were stored there, but the downloads folder also appears to be empty. If I try to select a ringtone I've downloaded before, a popup appears saying that I've already purchased that item and asking if I want to cancel or buy. If I click on buy, then I pay for the item again even if I already have it! The only place I can still see my purchased items is in the iTunes application on my computer, but even though I've already selected sync, the ringtones and songs still won't appear on my iPhone.
What happeneded and how can I get them back without having to pay for them all over again?
Thank you!

I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

HT201272 I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

I have lost my audiobooks, how do I get them back?

From your backup copy of your computer.
Your audiobooks will only be where you put them. It is your responsibility to back up your content.
Audiobooks are a one time download.
