Lost all download apps twice in this months, why

How come I lost all my download apps while playing games? It happened twice (10-8-12 & today) within two month after I got this new iPad on 23-6-2012. The screen was automatically blank and black. Then all the apps was gone. I have to download again and again.

I have provided some information below that may help.
Step 1 – Uninstall any messaging/anti-virus applications that are not native to the device (if applicable). ***Anti-virus software and non-native messaging applications have been a common issue in this type of situation.
Step 2 – Reset the messaging application
-Press Menu
-Select Settings
-Select Applications
-Select Manage Applications
-Select All
-Select Messaging
-Clear data, cache.
Step 3 – Complete a soft reset.
-Power the device off
-Pull the battery out for 20 seconds
-Place the battery back in
-Power the device back on

Have just downloaded and installed IO5.....lost all my apps!! and now the ipad only works with a badly lit screen....anyune else come across this one??

Have just downloaded IO5......lost all my apps in the process and now only get a very poorly lit screen. Any ideas out there??

The brightness issue is not something that I've heard of in connection to the update, it may just be a coincidence. Has the brightness level in Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper been turned for some reason ? If not then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear (it won't remove any content that you've got on the iPad, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot). But it could be a hardware issue so you may need to contact Apple.
In terms of your apps, were they on your computer's iTunes when you did the update ? The iPad backup only contains the content and settings from you apps and not the actual apps, so for the restore to work fully you need your apps on your computer's iTunes. 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 - if you re-download them to your computer you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores then and their content.

The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

I lost all my apps after iOS5, do i have to manually download them again?, I lost all my apps after iOS5, do i have to manually download them again?

hi i update the iOS5 on my iphone4 after 2 failur attempts and after update I lost all my apps(free one as well as paid ones). I am not sure how I can get them back?

Ok, even for a noob this is weird. I read the above post and I'm suffering the same fate with my itouch. Where before the v5.0 update I had 4 pages of apps, I now have one full page of standard apps and a second page with only two new v5.0 apps (messages and reminders). All my downloaded (free or not) apps are gone.
By chance, from within itunes I went to Devices>Grubmeister's iPod>apps
I saw that all my previous apps were in the list, although grayed out. After agonizing over the possible risk I selected the "sync apps" checkbox. The warning was sufficiently vague to convince me my bank account might be drained and my firstborn would evaporate. I decided I hated the current predicament more than the possible result (my wife for some reason thinks I have a prioritization dysfunction). From within the itunes graphical representation of my itouch (wtfihta???) I see a blank third page. Within pages 4 and 5 all my apps appear. Ahh, I figure they're there, I just didn't know it. I should be able to access them now. Unfortunately, I can't get to them by sweeping my finger on my itouch. Hmmnnn...
I decide to go forward by clicking the itunes "sync" button at the bottom right of the screen. Yup, after the sync, they're there, just like itunes shows them, in screens 3 and 4. The blank page is gone. So far, I haven't noticed any missing data but you'll know when you hear me scream.
I hope this helps. I can't help but think this is a v5 flaw but what do I know. I'm in the 99% so I must have deserved this misery because I'm not special.

I downloaded iso5 and lost all my apps which i know i can get back but one of them is pages so i have lost all my documents ! How do i get them back?

I downloaded iso5 and lost all my apps. I know i can get them back but what about all the documents i have now lost through Pages? And to a lesser extent the levels and scores i got to with my games (eg. angry birds)?

On your iPad tap Settings > Store
Make sure Apps is switched on.
For Documetns tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Documents & Data ia switched on.
Now resrtart your iPad. 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.

I have an iphone 5 and use verizon service. I just lost about 60% of my contacts. I am using verizon back-up assist to sync my contacts. I actually had to have my phone reset at the store and lost all my app etc. I want to avoid this in the future.

I have an iphone 5 and just suddenly lost about 60% of my contact list. They just disappeared from my contact list. I also could not add new contacts. Someone told me that it might be because I was using verizon back up assist. I had my phone reset at the store and am now using icloud. I lost all my apps and have had to manually re-enter my contacts. I would like to avoid this happening again. Is it my phone? Can anyone comment. Thank you!

Backup your iPhone. Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > > Back Up Now

No, you media like apps and music should be OK. For the problem see:

Apologies. The second link I gave you shows an ipad so I thought it would be more helpful. If you scroll part way down, you'll see an ipad. I know that most say it's mainly an IE issue, but there is mention of turning off javascript.
In the link below Apple claims that it blocks third party tracking if you turn on 'private browsing.' But is the site you're dealing with actually third party browsing? And if it's already embedded on your ipad, will clearing history, cookies and data take out your google issue? I know that when I do this, within minutes a long list of sites never visited are back on in 'website data'. Also, consider turning off java script. On 'accept cookies' click on never.
To see all this on your ipad, go to settings, then click on Safari. On the right, try turning off 'accept cookies.' Turn on private browsing'. Keep 'block pop-ups' on. Personally, I would try one thing at a time. For example, first turn on private browsing and see what happens when you open the scrabble app.
Then go to 'advanced' and look at website data. You possibly never visited many of those sites.
Apple's take on it is that they're protecting Safari users, whether it's a mac or an ipad.

HT201263 I did the above, my iphone lost all my apps, it is switching screens going to voice control automatically won't shut off....this is becoming very frustrating! HELP PLEASE!

I woke up to my iPhone with a plug in picture to ITunes. I did a back up and restore according to the instructions on ITunes. I now lost all my apps, my voice control goes on automatically and my screens are switching by themselves even during texting....HELP Please! What is the next step before I throw this thing through the window?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

If you have iCloud backups then you should be OK except for a few odds and ends. See this:

iTunes in the Cloud and App Store content
If it's still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.

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

Updated to iOS 4.2 and lost all my Apps

Hello,
So I have had a series of unfortunate events that have lead up to me losing all my apps. I use a PC which died last week (I am in the midst of trying to get in running). This week, iOS 4.2 is released, so I use a different computer to perform the update. During the process, it appears to be backing up, etc. However after 2-3 hours for the whole process, I find my iPad has lost all the apps (and associated data, i.e. documents, music, movies, etc) that were previously stored on my iPad. Most of my apps are free, however I do have a fair number of apps that were not.
I'd probably not be quite as upset as I am if not for the aforementioned death of my PC, and now this. And at this point, I don't have a way of recovering anything. Is there anyway to at least get my apps back?

Download them again. You will not be charged.

The gmail account with which I had my apple id is not in my use any more , do i need to recreate my apple id and if I do, will I lost all the apps that I have bought.

I kind of lost hold of that gmail id which is uttilised as my appleid will it make any difference . do I need to create new apple id. If I do so will i lost all my apps which I have bought using this id

All content is tied to the account that buys/downloads it and it can't be transferred to a different account, so if you create a new account all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your existing account. If you don't have access to that email address anymore then you should be able to login here and update your account to have a new email address : https://appleid.apple.com/

I lost all my apps in itune after the update

HI,
I lost all my apps, music and videos after I updated itunes. How can I get back all my content I purchased?
Thanks,

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
