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.

You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located. If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.

Lost iPhone - how to track it

Hello,
Has anyone heard of a program/software to help track a lost iPhone?
Today I heard about ihoundsoftware.com to help track devices, but they do not support the iPhone at this time.
Thanks
Tony

You can only track phones if you setup the tracking before you lost it, as you have to enter validation codes on the handset. The Police and Phone companies can track them, but don't unless there has been a crime more serious than theft.

LOST iPhone: How can I trace it back without preinstall tracking apps?

Hi all,
urgent help needed. I have heaps of important docs and info stored in my iphone and it is lost! I did not back up the phone in my computer so I desperately need them back. I am pretty sure it hasn't being stolen as I had being calling the phone since i lost it and it is still ringing at the other side. if it has being stolen the thief must have switch it off and change a new sim card.
I went to the police, they are hopeless.
I have not installed any apps for tracking on the iphone. All i have is the phone number (which i can still make to the phone, for now at least before the batt die down) and the IMEI no. i get from the box.
I have my gmail and yahoo mail signed in too in the iphone. can i track down my phone through these email services? doubt it though.
Please help!

Not much you can do sorry to say. Anything you could of done relys on you first installing the Find my Phone app and setting it up (which was free).

? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

I think we need a sticky for this.
Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

Lost iPhone - how good is the PIN protection?

My iPhone was recently stolen and I'm concerned about the data that I had on it. The phone was PIN protected. How good is this PIN protection? Is it possible someone can recover the data from the phone without knowing the PIN?
Given in the UK if a phone is stolen its completely useless since the IMEI is blocked on all networks, I assume that it can still be used in an ipod touch type fashion? Is that so?

In regards to the iPhone's passode lock feature, if someone knows what they are doing and has the proper tools/utility, an assigned passcode lock can be bypassed - just as if someone wants to break in to your house or vehicle that is locked - where there is a will, there is a way.
Doubtful whoever stole your iPhone is interested in your data. If you had the erase data feature enabled, which completely erases the iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts, you are covered there.

Lost iPhone - How do I restore data from previous phone to new one?

I recently lost, then replaced my iPhone. Does anyone kknow how I can access the previous data stored for the old, now lost phone?

iTunes maintains a backup for the iPhone that is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. This link provides the data included with the iPhone's backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes the first time, you should be prompted to transfer the backup for a previous iPhone to the new iPhone. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes.
If you weren't prompted to transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone or you declined this prompt, you can restore your new iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your previous iPhone.

How to recover apps games data after iPad crashed?

Our iPad crashed and it was replaced at Apple store. We are now downloading, via icloud, the apps we used to have. But it seems that the games are not showing last scores/ levels. Is there a way to recover this data as well? thanks a million!

That data would be in your backup. If you have a very recent backup - and I mean very recent - you can restore from that backup in order to recover all of your app data.

How to recover apps data??

If I am running out of space and I need to delete a game, but later I want to copy it to another device, can I recover the app data or do I have to start the game from the beginning?
I know that with a back up it saves data but I want to save each app data separately in order to delete them and then re install them and continue from where I left.

How to recover apps settings after syncing in another itunes?

I plugged in my wife's iphone to my itunes to copy a video from my computer then it synced. Now, the settings of her previous apps are now gone (i.e. Snoopy Fair has reset). These apps were also synced from my itunes before. But the apps she recently downloaded using her own accunt is still there. Is there a way to restore the apps that reset from where it was before?
I don't she has recently done a backup of her phone as well.
Please help. Thanks!

She would have to restore her phone from a backup made while this app data was on her phone. Note: doing so will revert all settings and data to those contained in the backup.
If she wants to do this, do the following:
Without connecting her phone, open iTunes on her computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect her phone, right-click on the name of her phone on the left sidebar of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup, be sure to select the most recent backup of her phone to restore from
Now disconnect her phone from your computer. Hopefully her phone will be back to the state it was before this happened.
When complete you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
If she wants the video synced to her phone, copy it to a thumb/usb drive and import it to her iTunes library and sync it to her phone from there.
To avoid this problem in the future only sync with one iTunes library.

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!
