Missing Apps in Restore

Please follow this carefully:
I had the original 2G iPhone which I gave to my Wife when I upgraded to the iPhone 3G last year. During this time she has downloaded various apps.
Last week my Wife bought the iPhone S for me, so she could have my iPhone 3G.
I was able to restore the iPhone S with all my data from the backup of my old 3G. But in restoring the iPhone 3G from the backup of the 2G, the apps have vanished (they don't appear in the back up data either).
I have re-backed up the 2G, but it won't back up the apps. Where have they gone, and how can I get them back?

Never mind.
Cursed, counter intuitive RESTRICTIONS .

How to restore missing apps after a itunes sync?

Have iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.8
To install an app (Skype), my phone recommended I do it thru iTunes 10.5.2 (via usb tether)
Checked the sync box, selected the Skype app after I downloaded it in iTunes.
The sync process went thru a bunch of 'finding, removing, backing up' of my installed APPs.
When it was done, all my installed APPs were gone from my iPhone.
Tried doing the 'Restore' function, I believe.
That went thru some dialogs, but still no APPs were restored to my iPhone.
Some blogs say to use the 'Purchased' icon in the APP STORE app on the iPhone; there is no 'Purchased' icon. (there used to be, but not now)
Prior to Sycing I had more than 15 updates to install. I no longer have any updates, as the apps are gone I suppose.
Is there a back up of my iPhone APPS on my computer? The dialogs that were running and identifying the APPs that I have instaleld leads me to believe that iTunes was making a backup ,and that everything was fine.
Where are my APPs?
Thanks!

When, if ever, was the last time you synced your phone with that computer? It sounds to me like you either set up a new sync relationship with a computer other than the one you normally sync to, or you set up a sync relationship for the first time since you got your phone. In either case, you apparently did not read the warning dialogs that popped up telling you that your phone would be erased and the contents would be replaced with what was in iTunes on the computer.
You're going to have to re-download the apps that you're missing now. It's easiest to do this from the computer (especially now that you have a sync relationship established).
On the phone, open the app store. Click on updates. Click on purchased. Select "Not on This iPhone" and donwload the ones you want.

I upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and cannot restore missing apps.

I upgraded my iPad 2 to the latest iOS 7 and lost several apps. Some of which I paid for, like Pages and Numbers. With that, I lost all the documents buried in iBooks, Pages, Numbers, etc.
I tried to sync with my computer, but one thing Apple does not tell you is that you must have the latest iTunes 11 to sync iOS 7 devices. I do not. I tried to up date my iTunes and learned that the operating system on my desk top does not support iTunes 11. And my desk top does not support the latest operating system. My desk top is working great and no reason to replace.
Next try was to re download the app from the App Store. iBooks was a success, everything came back, no charge. I had to pay for Pages, it appears to be an upgraded version made for iOS 7, no documents were restored. I do not see the older version available. I did not waste time and money on the rest of the missing apps.
Any suggestions.

Yes, I did back up my iPad to my computer before upgrading to iOS 7. However, since upgrading to iOS 7, my iPad will no longer sync with my iMac. You must have the latest iTunes 11 to sync iOS 7 devices. I do not. I tried to up date my iTunes and learned that the operating system on my desk top does not support iTunes 11. And my desk top does not support the latest operating system.

Backup - restore and missing app

Hi,
I upgraded from IOS4 to IOS5 during this progress I was prompted "backup your Iphone?" yes to my Mac airbook external drive.
After upgrades I was missing all (notes,pictures adresser etc)
I tried to restore but Itunes only pop´s up an older backup.
Where can I find the newest backup?
secondly
I miss a App (100 dollar) where can I find this without repurchacing?

I had a 'glitch' during a power outage that required me to restore from the backup. The app folders appeared only where a website shortcut had been stored in the folder. After investigating what got restored and what didn't, I attempted a second restore from backup (no sync operation attempted). The results were the same. I'm actually glad the results were the same in some respects since it indicates a consistent (but incomplete) backup/restore operation. Note, even the folders that did get recreated (with website shortcuts) did not have their apps correctly restored, there appeared to be no pattern to what happen.
To the persons who did the 'double restore'; how many apps do you have on your iPhone?. Was it less than the iOS 3 limit of 180 (including Apple Apps)? I have about 300 apps which means they don't 'fit', without folders, within the 180 app limit. I'm thinking that the double backup worked since you had less than the 180 app limit, but I'm not sure without knowing the number of apps you have.
The unanswered question is: Does iTunes backup the app folder configuration and can it correctly restore the folder configuration (apps correctly placed in folders)? Since I had the glitch iTunes has been upgraded twice (if I recall). Did the upgrades fix the app folder issue? I don't really want to be the one to test this since it takes hours to rebuild the folder/app configuration.
Thanks for any help.

This restored my missing apps after belle update (...

I see a few people with missing Apps after installing Belle, so as I seem to have stumbled upon a solution I thought I'd post it to help a few people out.
I removed my memory card and then reran the Belle installation process from Nokia Suite.
All the apps that were missing after the several previous times I ran the update, are now on my phone.
Hope this works for a few other people too!

this was the obvious first thing I did. It did not work for me.

Missing apps since upgrading to version 4.5

I lost a number of important applications when I upgraded. Moreover, I messed up and did not backup ( or couldn't find it if I did). I no longer have tasks, maps, or the ability to open attachments in Word and PDF. Instead, I have a bunch of instant messaging apps I don't want. Is there any way to get the missing apps back without having to redo everything?

the backup should have been saved in MY DOCUMENTS. This can restore data but not programs
docs2go, tasks, maps, bbmessenger, memo, those are all part of the device software.
You can open DTM click on application loader, click on update, it will find the same 4.5 software that you just installed, and give you a check list, scroll the check list and find your programs. pput in a check mark and continue. then it will install those few apps. Dont worry it wont reinstall everything.

Can't redownload certain apps after restoring to an iPad Air

I recently backed up my iPad2 and restored to a new iPad Air. Certain apps did not come across (HBO Go, The Walking Dead, Files Pro are some of them). When I find them on the app store, there is no icon visible to re-download them.

More info: After I restored, I did a sync to get the apps copied to the iPad Air. Most of the apps came across just fine. The ones that didn't now show up in the updates section of the store as having available updates, but there is no button next to them to install the update. Finding them in the store itself also shows there is no button to download them. The complete list of missing Apps is:
HBO Go
Files Pro
Crackle
Watch TNT
Walking Dead

Missing apps on touch

The last time I synced my ipod touch, it seemed to delete some of my apps. The apps are still in my itunes, but when I sync the touch, they still do not get loaded onto the touch. I restored the touch, but it still did not load the apps that where originally on it. Are they hiding somewhere? I also recently added some apps (FIFA 12), could it have taken up more space, so the other apps are not on it anymore due to space?

Any restrictions set for app installation in Settings/General/Restrictions?
Did you use the same account to buy those missing apps? If they were bought with a different account, they won't sync.

Missing apps, photos and podcasts after ios 5.0.1 upgrade

After I updated my Ipad 2 with the ios 5.0.1 update, I am missing apps, photos and podcasts. I purchased the full version of a calculator before the update and now it is gone and when I go back to download it, it wants me to pay again. Also, I can see the podcasts in my library on my computer, but they want sync to my Ipad, despite them being there before. Is anyone experiencing similiar issues?

Hi.
You can easily restore all of your apps, photos and podcasts.
If you activated the iCloud service before updating, your Apps will be storaged "in the cloud" and ready to be re-downloaded. Otherwise, go to App Store and choose "Updates". Here, in the top of the screen, is the "Purchased"-button. Tapping here will give you a complete list of all your downloaded Apps, ready to be re-downloaded.
As for your podcasts, plug your iPhone to your PC/Mac. Single-click your iPhone-device in the menu on the left. Once the iPhone-window appear, go to the tab-menu in the top of the screen and choose 'Podcasts'. From here you can decide which podcasts should be sync with your device.
I hope this was helpful.
Best regards.

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them?

Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

Apps not restored after upgrading to IOS6

I have an iPhone 4S, which I back up automatically to iCloud. I also manually back it up to iTunes every now and then.pgrade from IOS5 to IOS6.1
Last night, I finally decided to upgrade from IOS5 (5.1.1, IIRC) to IOS 6.1. I triggered a manual backup, and applied the update. Everything appeared to go fine, except that none of my apps were restored to the phone. I still have them on my PC, and the iTunes store app is offering me the ability to restore them from the cloud, but I was under the expectation that I would not have to go through and manually reselect and reinstall every single app. I'm also not relishing the prospect of recreating the home page layout and groups that I had developed over the last year.
Is this some sort of incompatibility issue? I've never struck this problem before when upgrading. I even tried restoring an earlier backup to my PC, and restored the iPhone from that, but the apps still aren't being restored to the phone.
Right now I'm going through a Reset in case I somehow clicked the wrong during the restore phase of the upgrade, but I'm not holding my breath.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong, and/or what else I might try to fix it?

Enabling auto-sync made no difference. No matter what backup I restored from, the end result was the same - all my media and settings were restored, but no apps.
I have taken this as an omen that it was time for me to purge some of the accumulated appcruft from my iPhone. At least their settings are preserved, so when I do reinstall each one, it picks up where it was before.
Of course this begs the question of how I reclaim the space used by the settings from the apps that I will not be manually restoring.

MISSING APPS PLEASE HEEEEEEELLLPP!

Hi, I've attached a screen shot of my desktop. Notice the 2 ? in the dock. They should be the App Store and iMovie icons. Plus, the iTunes icon is just the generic app symbol. I upgraded to snow leopard a couple of months ago but I'm sure these apps have worked since then. I still have my iMovie files on the HDD but cannot open them because the app is missing. What's the deal anyone?

Your system specs are listed as Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.3. Is that the version of OS X your Mac is running?
What model year is your Mac, when did you buy it?
Yes if you are still running Snow Leopard the only way to reinstall any of the iLife apps is from the original System Reinstall DVDs that came with your system.
But I suspect you have more problems than just those few missing Apps. Like I said Apps don't just disappear.
In fact NO files just magically disappear from a Properly working computer. Whether it is a Mac or a Windows PC.
That just doesn't Happen.
There is always some other reason for that to happen and more than likely it is some type of hardware failure.

TS4036 I have had to do a factory reset on my ipad3,when i restored via i.cloud not all my apps were restored how can i get them back,they show on the back up list on my ipad in icloud,any help is appreciated thanx, Andrew

I took my Ipad to my local Apple store as it would not d`load or update apps. They factory restored it,on icloud backup restore not all my apps were restored including some i`d paid for, they show up on my list of appsin icloud, how can i get them back? any help very welcome, thanx...Andrew

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
