Lost Apps and music

At one point recently, when recharging my Ipod touch, Itunes lost about 90% of my music, along with all of my app. After some extensive time, I was able to reload the music from the drive it was stored on, but am unable to locate any of my app. I understand I can download any apps I have already purchased again for free, the problem being, it appears all of my apps have been updated, and the versions I have are no longer available. What do I do now. Thanks.

Older version would be in a backup of your computer files only if you set up your computer to backup the files. If you did not setup a back program then you are out of luck. Itunes only keeps the most recent version.

After updating my ipod i have lost apps and music how do i retrieve them

I just updated my ipod touch to the latest version and have now noticed that my apps and some of my music have disappeared? I recall itunes saying that my ipod have been synced to another computer (but this isn't the case, I have only ever synced my ipod to the one laptop!!). Please can someone help me to retrieve my lost purchases back.
Many thanks

- Just sync the media back to the iPod from your iTunes library. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Sometimes a computer glitch occurs and the iPod then identifies the computer/iTunes library as a different library.
- If you have media purchased from more than one iTunes account you have to go to Settings>Store and sign out of one account and sign into the other to redownload media purchased from that account.

Lost apps and music after restoring

I have just restored my iPod because most of the apps were playing up. So I restored it and I synced it and found out that all my apps have gone. I really need help as I had a lot of money worth of appa on my iPod and very very sad please help

Of course they are gone. You restored your ipod which erase everything.
Certainly you made sure that you had transferred them to itunes on your computer before you restored?
Just sync them back.
If for some reason you have failed to transfer them before restoring (not wise), then unlike music, you can redownload them.
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

HT4623 I just updated my iphone 5 to the latest update: 6.1.2 After update was complete, I can no longer connect with my local network, apps no longer are transfered to my phone. I lost all of my apps and music and can't get them from my computer to my

Has anyone else had trouble with update 6.1.2 for I phone? After the update, I can't get back on my network (password is correct), ICLOUD doesn't transfer my downloads, nothing seems to work. It saved my calandar and address book, but lost all of my apps and music (except for a few songs, figure that out) and I can't get them back. Any suggestions?

I had this problem post 6.1. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I'd just recently changed my password after being convinced I'd been hacked, due to being told I was entering my password wrongly, repeatedly by iCloud / iTunes. It turns out my iCloud account on my Settings -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars was listed as Inactive. Putting in my details, turning off Contacts over iCloud (thus deleting them) and turning them back on again, repopulated my contacts from iCloud with numbers attached to them.

No, you media like apps and music should be OK. For the problem see:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

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!

Lost my apps and music on upgrade

Just upgraded my iphone 4 whilst connected to itunes and it has lost all my apps and music!!!! im fuming!

Okay great... lets work on apps first
I think what happend is that the restore must have been to an old back-up without all your info on it. I went and found a similar solution andt hey are getting their apps back by restoring from an iCloud back-up.
If you have icloud back-up turned on, they you should be able to restore your apps to what they looked like yesterday.
Here is that info - I think it sounds like what you want to do.. right? We can work on music after we get you sorted on apps.
Please read and see if this is what you want to do....

Re: Why are all my apps missing in iTunes when I backed everything up to my computer?
Nov 4, 2012 5:40 AM (in response to joefezz)
Alright, your best bet might to be to use the restore from iCloud option, as it will redownload all the apps from your prior device (definitely make sure you're connected to WiFi when you're attempting to do it so that you don't eat through your data plan).
First you'll want to verify that your old iPhone 4 backup is still in iCloud (you can check from your iPhone 5):
On your Home Screen, tap Settings
Tap iCloud
Tap Storage & Backup
Tap Manage Storage
Select the device you want to manage
You should see a backup for the iPhone 4 if there is one. If you tap on that backup, it will give details such as when it was last backed up and the backup size. You'll just want to know that the last backup was able to complete. If you have the iPhone 4 backup still, then you're good to go. If you decide to proceed with the restore (definitely your call and not mine), go all the way back out to the first Settings page.In Settings, tap:
General
Reset
Erase All Content and Settings
How content is restored to a new device
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new device running iOS 5 or later, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.

Hey there Shomail,
It sounds like you are wanting to copy your content from your iPad to your computer. You can trasnfer your iTunes purchases from the device to the computer with the following article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
Click the Transfer Purchases button.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Upgraded phone and lost all apps and music

i upgraded via my pc to the 5.0 and now i have lost all of my apps and my extensive music library. does anyone know how i can restore my info?

If you didn't encrypt your backup and it still requires a password it sounds like your backup is corrupted.
Aren't your apps and music still in itunes? I don't understand why you can't just resync.

I've lost all my apps and music after iOS 5 update?

This morning I updated my iPhone 4 from iOS 4 to iOS 5. It appeared to skip the syncing part of the update and now I've lost all my apps and music. They're still on my iTunes but my iPhone won't sync - it shows steps 2 and 3, and thn just stops. Help?

Lost my apps and music after updating to the new OS

I lost my apps and music on my 3GS after updating to the new 5.0.1 OS. I can see all my apps and music on my laptop iTunes, but can't get the phone to sync. Any ideas??

What happens when you try to sync?

How do i get my apps and music i've lost e erything arfter updateing and i've tried restoring.

.

You can redownload apps at no additional cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
You only get one download of music and videos and it is up to you to back it up. Music, videos and the apps themselves (app data is) are not part of the backup and is synced to your iPod at the end of an update. It appears the the apps and music were not in your iTunes library and thsu would not be restored to your iPod.

the following post by Zevoneer in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8794716 says it all:
Did you back up your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it 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 or iPhone to a computer
