Lost apps...how to recover

Synced my ipad and lost about 12 apps. Unfortunately, I didn't have a backup (no way to backup that I could find) so I'm left with a fraction of my apps. Does ITunes have a list of apps bought by a person? And is there anyway to recover lost apps from ITunes or do I have to buy them all over again?

  • Lost app how to recover?

    App is no longer on screen. It was not deleted. App found on purchased app screen but won't open. Suggestions?

    Are you sure it was not accidentLy deleted from your iPad?
    Apps in the recently purchased list remain there whether they are on your IPA or not. What is the icon next to the app in the recently purchased area of the App Store app? If it is a cloud with arrow, then you need to tap that to redownload the app. If it says open, it is on your iPad somewhere.
    Are restrictions on in Settings that might cause the app to be hidden?
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Lost iPhone, how to recover apps?

    I recently bought a new iPhone to replace my previously lost one. I don't think I had backed up my apps (I don't plug it into my laptop to charge) because when I did the activation/restore it didn't update the apps.
    How can I get copies of the apps I have already purchased on my new phone?
    thanks.

    When you get the credit card warning you got earlier, click buy. Then you'll get a message saying you have already purchased this app with an offer to download again for free.

  • Reboot + lost data - how to recover?

    Hi all
    I forgot my login password and looked up online a few ways to reset it. I restarted my machine, held down Command + R, followed instructions (from online) and rebooted it.
    It then went through the set-up process and I have lost all data completely including my users settings.
    Can I find these again or have I accidentally deleted them forever?
    Very worried and would appreciate advice!
    Macbook Pro, 10.6.8
    Thanks

    Just found this answer which solved it - phew!

  • Lost phone - how to recover contacts from Nokia PC...

    Regrettably I recently lost my Nokia 6303 along with all my contacts. I did however sync and backup my 6303 with Nokia PC Suite. I have since bought a replacement - a Nokia 5800 - and am trying to import my old contacts (from the lost 6303) to my new replacement (the 5800) - but I can't see how to do this within Nokia PC Suite.
    Any thoughts very welcome!

    If you'd backup the phone memory as a .nbu file, you can restore it using content copier.
    If the content copier fails to restore, you can try to open/extract the content from the .nbu file via Noki which is a Nokia backup file explorer and extractor. For details, please check the Noki data recovery guide.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Migration Assistant creates a new user with your restored data from your Time Machine backup, so it's normal that you don't see your data.
    Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created. Here are all your transferred data from your Time Machine backup. Then, if you want, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the old user and press the - button to delete it

    by mistake i upgraded my iphone from my friends computer & so lost my transsaction in accounts lite app, how can i recover my data

    there should be a back up on your friends computer of your phone when it was restored. If there is all you need to do is restore from that backup and your good to go, I just hope that you did not plug your phone into there computer 2 times.
    The first thing you will need to do is turn of automatic sync and then you can plug your phone in and restore from the backup that should have been made

    As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward.  Using any computer, go to icloud.com.  Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone.  If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound.  Good luck.

  • I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    No kids or pets --- just me!I don't think there is too much mystery about the deletion of Address Book on my laptop.  I was trying to get it up-to-date from my desktop computer and as that is Lion and the laptop is sitll Leopard (all these ***** cats!) I must have trashed the laptop Address Book, then tried to install the one from Lion but, of course it couldn't be installed - wrong system!  By then I had lost Address Book!!  Horrors!  I then lifted it from my husband's computer (Panther or something!) et voila!   But I had expected to have all HIS names and address in Address Book when I opened it but -- not so, his were not there and mine were!   Don't ask!!
    Thanks again and regards, Lecia

  • HOW DO i RECOVER LOST APPS

    how do I recover lost apps for my phone?

    Once purchased the apps are tied to your iTunes account. You can redownload them as many times as you want. Upgrade your phone? No problem. Just open the App Store app, sign in with your itunes account and go to the updates tab then hit Not in this iPhone to review all your past purchases and to reinstall them. Or you can search for apps you already purchased and just install them.
    Newer devices will show you app you've already purchased while older devices will not. If on an older device you find your previous purchased app then hit buy, sign in with the iTunes account that the app was purchased on and go. A message will appear saying you've already bought this app then asking if you want to install it again for free.

  • Preview.app - not functioning? Lost? How to update a recovered version?

    Dear Apple community!
    I upgraded my MBP from Leopard to SnowLeopard (finally).
    Everything went fine, but I found two versions of preview.app in my programs directory afterwards (yes, one in the specific folder where I once put it to).
    Both were version 5 - the first was build 501 the second build 502. Not needing both I deleted the older one (using my PathFinder file browser). To my horrified surprise (after emptying the trash... and before Time Machine had its initial run), my preview.app stopped working. It opened itself, but that was it. Nothing else showed up. Nothing could help, but a proper reinstall of that app - nicely hidden in my SL install DVD. Here is, what I did:
    I used the Shareware "Pacifist" to open that DVD and got the possibility to reinstall JUST the lost app - in my case, "preview". Everything went fine, preview started to work again.
    Two problems remained so far:
    1st: The preview.app that I could reinstall onto my MBP came without the german language pack that it had before (from the very same SL DVD) - just a minor issue, but maybe some of you could provide a workaround.
    2nd: The preview.app I reinstalled came in version 501 - so I lost the updated one and do not know how to update the older version to the current state of art. The Apple software update assistant could not locate it. Any suggestions?
    Ok, that's what I did, hope it'll help you, if you once face the same problem.
    Thanks for answers and commentaries,
    have a good one,
    The MacManiacMan

    Thx for the suggestion of a fresh install... I fear you might be right, but that solution isn´t providing me much happiness...
    By the way, how to avoid another disaster of the same kind? Is there a possibility to get rid of those app doublets (that I usually find after 10.X upgrades) without messing things up?
    Best regards,
    Mr.MMM
