My apps have disappeared from iTunes, how do I get them back?

I have a new computer and so have the very latest iTunes downloaded. This is the first time I have ever been unable to get all of my apps on iTunes--the ONLY ones that show up are the 20 or so on my phone and the two I have purchased since buying the computer. I own nearly 300 apps!! How do I get them all back? Many of them are too large to download directly to my phone...so have I lost them forever? This is really ******* me off! I have lots of money in apps!!
I'm on a MBP running Mountain Lion with iTunes 11.1.3 installed.

    Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
    Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
    Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • HT204406 I bought iTunes Match enabled it on my ipad now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I have is the music my daughter purchased from itunes how can I get them back. for her ipad.

    I have ipad 3 & daughter new ipad mini with RD. She has nano and I have classic. Her nano syncs to her own laptop and mine to my desktop. I bought iTunes Match and authorised both iPads and both iPods. I have now enabled iTunes Match in my ipad and was warned it would replace my library. I pressed "enable" and now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I've got is the music my daughter bought from iTunes. What have I done wrong and how can I get my songs back. When I bought iTunes Match I got 1 e-mail confirming subscription and another providing receipt but nothing else no links etc. any assistance would be appreciated.

    You can only upload music from your computer's iTunes, you can't do it from an iOS device - when you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer it should have scanned your music library on it and matched or uploaded any non-iTunes purchased music to it.
    Do you have copies of those tracks anywhere e.g. on an iOS device or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If they are iTunes purchases then they should be in the cloud. If they were copied from CDs or bought from other sources then if they are only on an iOS device (i.e. you don't have them on a backup) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I updated my 3GS to the ISO 5.1.1 .  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?

    Hi all,
    I updated my 3GS to the ISO 5.1.1 .  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?
    Appreciate for your guide amd help.

    All apps should be in your iTunes library along with all other iTunes content that was on the iPhone.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer.
    Notes can be synced with a supported app on your computer as well.
    Contacts and notes are included with your iPhone's backup but not any iTunes content which should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Your iPhone's backup should have been updated as the first step during the update process. If the backup was not restored, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from that backup.

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks

    Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

  • I have lost my itunes and can't get them back. How do I do it?

    I have lost my itunes library and cannot get them back. How do I do it?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT+ V T M (CTRL+V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    Try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
    Hope this helps!

  • My iPhotos have disappeared completely.   How do I get iPhoto back?

    My iPhotos have disappeared completely.   How do I get iPhoto back?

    1. Your Library should be in the Pictures Folder, not the Applications folder. Are you sure that you're not looking at the Application?
    2. If it is in the wring folder, move it to the Pictures folder. That's inly in the case of the Library not the application.
    3.
    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

  • I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

    I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

    Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.
