Lost IPod app after computer change

I downloaded an app onto my 5th gen IPod nano from the itunes store and soon after i lost the app, and my computer had wiped itself some time in between (the comper crashing had nothing to do with the app).Now when i tried to re-download the app from itunes, it says i have already purchased it, and it should be in my downloads, but it isnt. Is there any way of re-downloading this app without having to purchase it again.

Hello Boredgingo,
How did you download an App to your 5th generation nano?  Apps are only compatible on iPod Touches, iPhones, and iPads running a compatible version of iOS.
Are you talking about a click wheel game you bought?  If so, you'll need to repurchase it since it was a one time download only.

  • I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?

    I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?
    I did a reset of my phone yesterday and now when I go to purchaed to download my paurchsed tabs there is nothing there.
    I see them in my ipad but they are not in my itunes app section either.
    I searched for one in the app store and it usually said "open" or had the cloud icon with the little arrow to downlaod again (free). But none of that shows up at all this time. All the apps that I'm missing show up in the pp store for me to buy again like I never purchased them at all!
    What's going on?
    I'm missing a ton of apps!
    Pleae help me!
    Gaby

    I just wanted to add this information to my post:
    I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
    In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
    In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
    Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
    Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
    I want my apps back.
    Thanks,

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

  • I purchased something in a app after I changed my credit card but now it won't let me make a purchase and keeps charging me how do I fix this

    I purchased something in a app after I changed my credit card but now it won't let me make a purchase and keeps charging me how do I fix this

    Are you adding or changing your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

  • I lost my apps after changing my operating system. iTunes no longer recognized my iPod Touch. Will I ever get my apps back or be able to sync ANYTHING ever again?

    When we went from Vista to Windows 7 and tried to sync the iPod Touch - I lost my apps. Can these be recovered somehow?

    Follow these instructions in the link..It worked for me as I used the same account to log in and to download apps.If you had purchased apps earlier, your purchase history willbe available in account history. So there is nothing to worry about. You'll not have to pay for ur apps again if you have bought it earlier. Plus,you'll have to authorize your pc if itunes does not recognize ur device. Go to 'store->authorize this pc' in itunes.

  • HELP! I LOST many apps after reinstalled the 10.2.1 OS

    My phone is Z10, and the previous carrier is O2. (now I already unlocked it). Yesterday, I post an message about my phone 's problem, today I did , but after I reinstalled the 10.2.1 OS. Something happened.  Please take a look and help me .
    1. The starting windows image is changed (not China unicom or ).\ feels  a little bit slower than before,
    2. I lost many apps, the voice control、twitter、 youtube、music etc. Now my phone only have one page of apps( should be three page of apps). And the monitor doesn't  have reaction when I tapped it.
    3.when I recover my back-up, I found out only those apps from BBW or original apps recovered, the others not.
     So what should I do now? I have tried twice to reinstall OS.   

    Based on the screenshot you didn't follow my instructions in the other thread and reinstall the OS using BB Link.  You installed a developer version of the OS that you downloaded from somewhere that is incomplete.  Please do the following if you're not using Link to install the OS officially:
    1. Connect your device to your PC and make a full backup with BB Link (if you don't already have a backup.)
    2. Download the correct autoloader for your device from the first post in the thread linked below. You need to know your full model number (i.e. STL100-1 (or -2, -3, -4) which can be found in Settings >About. Make sure you download the one for your model that contains the radio file. There is another crackberry thread that contains a newer radio file that you can load once you're all done if you want to have the latest and greatest. The process for loading a radio file is the same as this process but no need for backup/restore.

    You will need to unzip the downloaded file from above before you can run it. If you don't have an unzipping application on your computer you can download 7Zip from here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
    Close BB Link and leave the device connected.
    Double click on the autoloader you downloaded.
    The process should take around 5 minutes or so. when it's done, you'll need to complete the startup process before you can connect to Link and restore data.
    When you're done you can restore your backup, though I recommend NOT restoring your Settings backup as it's best to start clean with this new OS but it's up to you. You may experience small bugs here and there from restoring the Settings portion of the backup. Media and Application data seem to be OK to restore.
    This will install the correct version that has all the apps you're missing.

  • Macbook pro retina shutting down after computer changes graphic card

    My 15 inch (Mid 2012) Retina MacBook Pro has recently started to shut down. I realized it was because of the change from using the Intel HD Graphics 4000 to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M. This would happen if I were to play around with the energy savings buttons or run something that requires a lot of power. After shutting down, it would restart with a black screen and will proceed to do nothing. The computer is still on though as I can still hear error noises when pressing the keyboard. It would normally require me to wait 15 minutes and turn it on after resetting RAM and SMC. I know that it isn't related to updating to the latest version of Mavericks as I was still able to run some heavy duty apps after installing it.
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    Storage  250GB

    I just ran a few tests to confirm my suspicion that this is a sleep problem for me and found that my rMBP will restart as soon as it has entered the sleep cycle.  Set it to auto sleep after 10 minutes and it will restart at 10 minutes, set it to sleep at 3 minutes and it will restart at 3 minutes.  Command it to sleep and it will restart.
    So for me at least there is a workaround and that is to set sleep to "never".  The display still sleeps but my mac keeps running.  So that's not a solution but it is a workaround, and if I want it to shutdown and not restart I either hold the powerbutton or take off the power cable and choose shut down from the dropdown menu (it won't restart on battery power, it'll just shut down).
    I hope that helps someone else!  And I hope it helps the engineers to diagnose and actually solve the very long running problem for us all..

  • Lost my apps after update

    I lost all my apps after I did the update through the PC Companion. The contacts, messages, email and all that was restored through the restoring function in the PC Companion. Can't I get my apps back?

    That's a bit odd but
    Settings > accounts > google (add your gmail account) > open the playstore > download any app > give it some time it might start downloading all your apps if not you can 
    either 
    1) look for all the apps from your phone 
    or 
    2) on your computer sign in to the playstore and send the apps to your phone (playstore > sign in > my apps > install )

  • Sync iPod color after computer crash and loss of music

    How do I sync my older iPod color now with a new windows vista computer and not lose the music already on the iPod? the older hard disc crashed and was not recoverable so all of the downloaded music over 2000 songs were lost but are still on the iPod. How can I connect it to the newer computer without losing all of the music that is now on it. I have new music on the newer computer I would like to add but have been afraid to connect it in fear of losing all of my music.

    Hello mrsphilly,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • After my company changed the e-mail address, I had to change my Apple-ID. How do I update my purchased Apps after the change?

    The renamed Apple ID does not update all the Apps but comes up with the old AppleID, but that ID is not there anymore and neither the old or the new password is working
    On the FAQ pages I just find a long list of Apps, stores tc. that I have to update, but no explanation on how to do that.
    I do not want to buy all the apps again just because I had to change the e-mail address and because of that the AppleID.
    It is ok to remove the free ones and load them again, but the paid one?
    How is Apple handling such things?

    OK, after reading other and similar threads too, I found a solution myself.
    Thought to share it.
    On my iPhone, after the change was made at the AppleID site, I had to logoff from the old AppleID and then to relogon with the new/changed one. After that I could update all apps again

  • Lost campass apps after upgraded to ios7

    I lost the compass , stocks apps after upgraded, how can I install it back?

    All your apps should be in your itunes media library, sync your phone to itunes.
    Or directly from your phone - app store - update - purchase - all or not on this phone - hit the cloud next to the app you want to download.
