No apps after iOS 5 install

i downloaded and installed ios 5 and put it on my iphone. i backed it up and then installed ios 5 and restored from backup. now i can't see any of my apps that i had on both my phone and pc. anybody know if i can get them back somehow?

iTunes is not now nor has it ever been a contact management program.
If for some silly reason you failed to use the device as intended by syncing the contacts to either a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, then the contacts should be in the iPhone backup. Restore the device from the backup.
If this does not work, then you just learned an important lesson of why backups are important and why it's so silly to rely on a single device for storage of important information.

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

IPad 2 won't install apps after ios 5 update

after iOS 5 install, apps are getting "hung up" in the waiting stage

Try restarting your iPad or resetting it and see if that helps. Restart first.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

TS1702 No longer able to sign into a free app after iOS 7 and the app (password books) is no longer available

I am unable to sign-in to the Password Books App after installing IOS 7 and the app is no longer in iTunes , published by Razor Apps, LLC, have all my passwords in this app.

WORKAROUND: In iTunes, select the podcast files and hit CMD-I (show info). Set the genre to something other than "Podcast", and in the Options tab, set the Media Type to Music. You can do this to the files that are on your iPhone. If you do this to the files on your computer, they will no longer show up as Podcasts - they'll be mixed in with music files in your library. You can then put these podcasts into playlists on the iPhone, and they'll show up on the phone once it's disconnected. You might need to fool around with this a bit - try it more than once, etc. - I had some podcasts not show up on the iPhone until after a SECOND connect-and-disconnect operation with the computer. Others here might do some experimenting and figure out a smoother set of instructions that will always work - but this is a starting point.
Note that I ALWAYS "manage music and video files manually" - I NEVER "sync" music and video. Your mileage may vary.
Apple - please listen: The handling of podcasts in iOS 7 is not a feature, it's a bug. As you can tell from the comments here, MANY people need to manage podcasts as if they were music files (and sometimes, THEY ARE!!!!). The arbitrary decision to treat podcasts differently is WRONG - an audio file is an audio file. I don't need to buy one TV to watch sports and one TV to watch news - because video is video. Get it? If you want to provide a Podcasts app, that's fine, and anyone who wants to use it can do so. But don't RUIN the previous, excellent functionality that we had before, when it's completely unnecessary and a colossal pain (not to mention insult) to your customers. And in some cases, it's a serious driving safety issue.
I'll be watching this space to see if others can refine the basic workaround that I've found.
UPDATE: It appears that changing the genre is unnecessary, only the "Media Type". It's probably best to do this only to the copies on the iPhone, so the files in your computer's library are not altered.

4S hangs updating apps after iOS6 install

I updated my 4S to iOS 6.0 this morning. Initially, it hung on restart and I was forced, after over 30 minutes with no change, to restore to factory, then restore from the backup I made prior to installing the new iOS. It restored and installed iOS 6 with no issues. Everything looked good until I attempted to install/update apps. Four of them hung at "waiting" for an hour. I updated them in iTunes and attempted to update them on the phone via a sync to no avail. I restarted my MBP and tried again. Still hung up. I finally got movement, one app at a time, by restarting the iPhone - four times over.
This afternoon, there were more apps to update. Silly me, I just asked the iPhone to do it. Again, I am hung up at "waiting." This time, nothing works. I don't even have the option, via the iPhone or iTunes, to delete and reinstall them. I've restarted everything, and am down to doing another restore if no one has any better suggestions. I just don't want to be stuck restoring every time there's a major app update until this is addressed.
I have seen "Cannot sync iPhone. unknown error 1136" a couple of times upon attempting to sync while the app updates were hung up, but a restart of iTunes 10.7 got rid of that message.
Anyone else seeing this and managed to get past it? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

So, I ended up calling AppleCare. We tried a few things, but ultimately ended up doing the restore to factory defaults option as even attempting to install apps directly ftom iTunes wasn't working.
Instead of restoring to backup, we started fresh and tried to install an app. No problem. So it looked like bad info from my iPhone was causing the problem. I wasn't ready to give up and restored from my morning backup after I got off the phone.
While I sat and impatiently watched 90-some apps install during the restore-from-backup, I realized something. During that process earlier today, I hadn't liked where the iOS was putting a couple things, and the fact that it had forgotten to put in an app or two. I had rearranged the offending items and added the missing apps. Then I hit "sync." Ya, in the middle of a restore. Since the latest restore-from-backup is working fine and installing apps without an issue, that had to be the culprit.
So, if you're having problems after doing a restore-from-backup after issues installing iOS 6, ask yourself if you did ANYTHING on your phone or if you re-synced during that restore. If you did, you might seriously consider re-doing that restore.

Loss of sound in some apps after iOS 5 update....

I'm also experiencing this problem on my iPad2. Music and sound effects otherwise work in other apps, but no sound plays in the Where's My Water app after the iOS5 install.

Status of iPad 1 IOS 5 apps after IOS 6 released?

Will Apple maintain a separate library of apps for the iPad 1 on IOS 5 after IOS 6 is released? I see a lot of discussion related to it will be ok for iPad 1 users after IOS 6 is released. I also see Apple continuing to sell reconditioned iPad 1 s for over $500.
If Apple does not maintain a separate archive library of IOS 5 comparible apps, then users of reconditioned iPads or 2nd hand purchases will lose the ability to download most useful iPad apps within 6 months to a year as the developers will be contuning to update to IOS 6 features.
If Apple maintains a separate archive store/library, there will continue to be a place to get apps for 2nd hand iPad 1s. Without this library, the iPad will become a resellers boat anchor very quickly. The iPad 1 continues to be a great product for many people. I, for one, hope Apple maintains a library so that the new Lifecycle does not become 2 years.
An archive for ios5 apps could become a new Apple best practice.
What do you think? If anyone has links to more details on ow Apple plans to support iPad 1s, please let me know. I for 1 still like 1.

I imagine that the majority of apps will maintain compatibility for quite some time. It took a while for developers to drop support for iOS 3.X after iOS 4 was released, and some apps still offer support that far back. Obviously there are some hardware features of the newer iPads (more RAM, for instance) that are simply missing from the original iPad, so you can't expect developers' progress to halt. Still, I'd say that you still have a while to go before the original iPad is obsolete. (By the way, I own an original iPad and love it, it still does everything I need)
If you're truly concerned, you could of course back up to a computer to ensure that regardless of what happens, you can always restore your currently loaded apps in the future.

My rear camera on my iphone 5 no longer works in camera app after ios 7 install

My iphone 5 updated to ios 7 and the new camera app no longer works. Sometimes I can get the front camera to
Show on the app. But the rear camera just shows black. And it won't switch bewtween the two cameras at all
Sometimes. What could this be?

I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
I am not sure but it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

IPad2 can't install apps after iOS 6 update

Recently updated my new ipad2 (Christmas gift) to ios6. Since then the I have not been able to install new apps. The "enter 3 questions" screen goes white when I try to "choose a question".
I would prefer just to roll back but I've read that is not possible. I have tried updating my apple id settings online - no luck, only asks one question. I've tried clearing the safari cache and deleting my iCloud I'd (random), but so far no progress.
Is there some patch forthcoming?
Thanks!

Finally got passed by clicking "done" on the 3 questions screen,nthen it complained "these are required fields!" And then suddenly the "choose a question" button started working.

Lost video app after iOS 7 update - help

After installing ios 7 the built in app for video on my ipad has disappeared, please help

Have you looked everywhere for it on all pages otherwise I'm not sure where it is

My iPhone 4 lost all apps after iOS 6 update, and can't reinstall them!

After updating to iOS 6, I can't install apps I've bought before.. I can only open them through App Store.. Stupid!!
And safari can't ever find any web pages when on wifi...
Seems like iOS 6 is having some bugs after reading this forum and by my own experience..

I have a similar problem. None of my App Icons are visible. I rebooted Iphone, PC and wireless router, I did a sync with iTunes (With "Sync Apps" checked, but it doesn't seem to go through that step), both through wi-fi and with USB cable........no success with any of these.
When I go into my settings, I can see that the phone knows about these apps. I get see the settings for them and the amount of storage they're using.
I'm thinking I'll use the Restore function in iTunes.....but I'm afraid that might make things worse!!

Unable to update apps after IOS 6

I have 14 app pending updates since IOS 6 and NOT being able to update due to billing info update as the app store suposedly wasn't able to process a previous purchase. Now I want to update the 14 already bought apps and I can't due to this stupid message. As far as know if you don't have enough funds available you can't install or download any app. How could a previous purchase cause any problem? Any help?

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
