Lost purchased apps with iOS5

Yesterday I updated my ipod Touch to iOS5 to use iCloud. When I completed my iCloud sync I lost all my purchased apps. I turned off iCloud and connected to my computer to sync and still none of my purchased apps! Any suggestions?

Where the apps on the computer on which yu did the update? If not, they will be lost since thebbackup that iTunes makes as the first step of the update does not include apps (or music).
You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them.

If I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail) can I convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account?

I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail). I then changed my account sign-in to a different email sign-in (ME) because of iCloud. Can I easily convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account when an update for each app occurrs?

Did you change your existing iTunes account or did you create a new account ? If you updated the existing account then you should be ok. But if you created a new account, then as apps are tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account, only that original account will be able to download any future updates to them or re-download them on a different device.

Recently I have not been able to purchase songs from my iTunes on my iPhone 5, but I can purchase apps with no issues. Has anyone else had similar problems??

If this is an Alienware system, the most likely culprit is the Bigfoot Networks LSP as per the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
Head to the Downloads and Drivers page at Dell for your particular model of Alienware. Look for available updates for your BigFoot networking device. If you update those drivers, does that give you back your Store access?

Do not update App Store purchased apps with an updating application!

Very important piece of info that I have learned through "trial" and error.
OK here is the deal...
If you purchase an application at the app store make sure that you never update any of those apps with a 3rd party updater (i.e. Mac Update Desktop)
I purchased DVDpedia from the app store and everything was working without any problems. A few days later I launched Mac Update Desktop and DVDpedia was in the list of applications that have an available update.
I selected the app and went ahead with the updating. Once the update was complete and I launched DVDpedia it had lost the connection to The App Store. It was now asking for a serial number to activate it. I am guessing that the new .app file or the pref file was changed to the version that is installed when you purchase the application outside of the App Store.
Long story shorter... I deleted the .app file and the pref file and had The App Store install it again and everything was back to normal.
But I just wanted to share this info with everyone so that you know not to update any apps from the App Store in any place other than the App Store.

Thanks for the heads up I have not made any purchases yet (new machine last week) but will remember this post.

ICloud Family Sharing - can't purchase apps with iTunes Credit

My wife and I previously shared the same AppleID on our phones. When the family sharing became available, it seemed the perfect approach for what we were accomplishing. I upgraded my wife's phone to 8.x and then moved her back to the Apple ID that I had initially created for her. I invited her to join the family and completed that setup.
We then had some iTunes gift cards that she had received and so loaded those to her iTunes account (wife's AppeID) on her iPad. However, when we attempt to purchase apps on her iPad, it insists on purchasing from my AppleID via my credit card rather than using the iTunes credit.
Any suggestions? I've seen posts that iTunes credit cannot be transferred.

Nope, not actually. The only restrictions Alberta places on gift cards are the following:
* Not allow expiry dates on gift cards, gift certificates, and vouchers that have been purchased and have monetary value
* Eliminate inactivity fees, also called dormancy fees, that reduce the value of gift cards the longer they go unredeemed
* Prevent businesses from not honouring gift cards for purchases that are
more or less than the value of a gift card
* Require merchants to fully disclose any restrictions on use of a gift card on both the actual card and its packaging
To further my point, Apple definately does not abide by the last law (at least in the rest of Canada), as they say nothing on the card or its packaging about not being able to buy apps with it.

TS1702 How do I hide purchased apps with iOS 6? With iOS 5 you can swipe the unwanted app to hide it, but this doesn't work with iOS 6.

How can I hide an app from the list of purchased apps using iOS6? With iOS 5 you can swipe the icon to display a red Hide icon, but this doesn't work with iOS 6. Suggestions (that work) will be appreciated.

Yes. On a computer. Not ios6.
On iTunes on your computer under purchased, select the x on the top corner. That will hide them.

Lost purchased apps

I have downloaded an app- King of Opera, but it suddenly couldn't work! After rebooting several times, it still doesn't work. When I decided to delte the app and download it again, it lost recognition of my purchase! what can I do to get my app back?

Hello locf,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I think it would be a good idea to reach out to the iTunes Store support directly on this issue. All you need is the email reciept that you would have received when you bought the app originally.

Trying to purchase apps with same ac but new card

I am trying to purchase another apps from app store but its showing error ,the card which i was used to do the payment was lost , please tell me the solution to resolve the problem

What sort of your card are you trying to use, debit or credit ? As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

When will apple stop allowing to update apps with ios5/iPod 3 gen?

Hey
I am a Celtic heroes player, a mmo app available in the iTunes store, it will be updated soon, but it will be the last update where iPod 2gen (or ios4) will be supported. Now I play on an iPod 3 gen and I was wondering how long apple will still allow apps to be updated with iPod 3the gen / iOS 5 support.
Tyvm

Ty for your reply but it doesn't give me an answer on my question tho.
What I would like to know is when apple will stop allow new apps to run on ios5 or iPod 3 or existing apps to be updated with iPod 3 g or iOS 5 support.

Why can I not purchase apps with the App gift card and no credit card?

trying to purchase a free app, but it keep wanting me to add a credit card, which I will not do, and I have iTunes/App credit.

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
