Purchased App disappeared after Syncing.

I've purchased a Newsstand(RSS Reader) App from the itunes in iphone.
and I've used it for a while and oneday after I synced, it was gone, from my iphone And the PC Itunes. Only record that shows I had the software is my purchase history.
I didn't make any changes or deleted the app. I only synced iphone to sync music and all of a sudden the app is gone.
I'm not sure if the app was stored in pc itunes from the previous sync, cuz I don't bother to sync very often (SLOW ITUNES).
Anyone know or have suggestion on how I could possibily get my app back? (other than purchasing it again)
Thanks!

Just so you know, if you go and "purchase" again, it will tell you that you already bought it and will let you download again for free. You won't see that message until you try to buy it again.
But verify it really is gone off your PC too (go look on your hard drive where it saves apps to (where you have your iTunes library pointing to) as it could still be there).

Purchased audiobooks disappeared after syncing with new MacBook Pro

I had my iPhone synced with a Windows laptop which got really slow and decided to replace it with a MacBook Pro. In between the last sync with the laptop and the first sync with the MacBook Pro I had bought a couple of audiobooks through the iTunes Store. After syncing the iPhone with the new Macbook everything was fine except the audiobooks which we gone. Originally I thought it would work as with the apps from the AppStore that I could download them again free of charge by just giving my apple ID and password. However this was not the case. Can someone please help me with this as losing these audiobooks would suppose a more considerable loss of money compared to just apps.
Thank you,
Arne

You should have transferred the purchases to your computer: File>Devices>transfer Purchases
At this point, all you can do is contact itunes support, explain your situation, and hope they grant a redownload.

Purchased Apps disappeared after OS update

During the OS update an error was generated. The pre-update backup did not backup any of my purchased apps. The update finished, but all of the apps I had are gone. I can go to my iTunes and see all the apps I purchased and what they cost, but I can't get them on my phone again without it trying to charge me for the same apps I already paid for. Please let me know how I can batch download all of my apps that it shows I already own. Thanks.

3rd party apps are not included with the iPhone's backup. No iTunes content is included with the iPhone's backup including 3rd party apps. All 3rd party apps available on your iPhone should be available in your iTunes library on your computer if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. When this is selected, after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so, or should be.
You can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer or on your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
There is no batch download available for all apps.

Apps disappear after sync

For some reason, when I sync my iPhone 4S to my Mac Pro, apps disappear from the iPhone. I know I can download them again, but everytime it deletes them I have to set them up again and all my data is lost. How can I prevent this from happening? I tried to tell iTunes to stop syncing the apps, but when I do it says it will delete ALL of my apps from the phone! ***?!

it happen when u download the app from your mobile directly and then you connect with the tunes it conflict because itunes don't have these app then its delete u can do this when u connect your iPhone with itunes u see the sync start click as quick as u can on the cross button on the middle of the itunes where he sync start this action stop the sync
second option uncheck your automatic sync option

Apps disappear after syncing with itunes

I have a problem. it only started after i bought my new iMac and migrated all my docs etc from my macbook using Migrate Assistance. when i download apps on my iphone, after i sync with itunes they just dissapear.
HELP please

I know I am late in posting to this discussion but I had to put my two cents in. I am having the exact same problem on my 3GS. I use a PC to connect to itunes and more often than not after syncing is complete all of my apps have gone out of the organized folders! I wouldn't complain if I only had 20-30 apps to deal with but I have 495! I have called Apple on this problem several times and they have continued to plea ignorance saying that they have never had anyone call in with this problem before! Obviously this is not the case by all of the people writing about the same thing! I hope that Apple will get with their programmers and figure out what the heck is going on...we deserve better than this! Mr. Jobs would not be so well-off without us so he needs to take better care of his customers! Well, I FINALLY talked to someone that seemed to have a solution to my problem! I thought that you only needed to organize your apps into folders on the actual phone...nobody had asked me before if I had organized them directly on itunes. I am in the process of doing this now and I hoping beyond hope that by doing this my folders stay organized! Although, there was one time when I was just sitting at my desk and my folders all became disorganized when it wasn't even plugged into any computer or being charged with a wall outlet! We will have to wait and see!

Espn radio app disappeared after restore

I had to restore my iphone because it had nearly 5GB of "other" files. All my purchased apps disappeared, including espn radio. When I try to sync apps, itunes tells me this computer is not authorized for this app, even after I go to Store and Authorize this computer. Huh??? I'd rather not buy the app again if I don't have to.

Delete the app then restore it from iCloud it worked fine for me.

Generally your library will be in your music folder in an iTunes folder, more specifically a library.itl file. If it isn't there then for some reason it has disappeared and can be restored from the backup you make of your computer.

App disappeared after I sync with iTunes

Hi,I recently bought three apps using my iPod touch and after I downloaded them I connected my ipod to sync them to my computer, a couple of days after I deleted two of them from my ipod to make some space to rent a movie. The following day I connected my ipod to itunes to install the apps back to my ipod but I did not find one of them. I have no idea what could have happened. Has anyone experienced something similar, what can I do to get the app back without having to buy it again?

This is the iPhone discussions area, but the same applies in this regard.
If you have Sync Apps selected under your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with your iPod Touch, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod Touch with iTunes after doing so. Deleting an app from your iPod Touch that is also available in your iTunes library followed by a sync does not delete the app from your iTunes library. The only way to delete an app from your iTunes library is by manually deleting the app from your iTunes library. This cannot be done by syncing your iPod Touch with iTunes.
You can re-download an app and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

Check the Mac's startup disk just in case. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to Verify or Repair Disks

How do I get my apps back after sync to MBP, Upgrade to iOS5?

After Sync'ing my iPhone 4 to MBP, I upgraded to iOS5 on the iPhone and Lion on the MBP. Now, my icons for iPhone apps are on the MBP. I don't see how to get them back to the iPhone. The former "Apply" button has disappeared. What is the new procedure?

Two things that I did wrong:
1) I was in iTunes, clicked on the left navigation bar for Apps and expected to see something like "Apply". This was incorrect. I needed to click on my iPhone under Device in the Left Nav bar, and then, click on Apps in the top nav listing. Then I could see my apps. And,
2) I could see that my apps had actually sync'd but they inexplicably sinc'd to a 3rd/4th/and 5th screen leaving the second screen nearly empty, so I thought they had never sync'd at all.
So, I'm back in business. Thanks to replyer.

Contact, Calendar and Notes Disappeared after Sync

Please help!
After sync Contacts, Calendar and Notes to pc (Outlook), all are disappeared in iPhone but can't find them too in the pc. Have opened Outlook to retrieve the data but still can't find there.
However pic, videos and apps are found both in iphone and pc after sync.
Million thanks for your great help!

Did you previously ever open Outlook on your computer before?
If not, you may have lost your information.
You could possibly restore your iPhone from a backup.
Check if there is one first.
You can do that by going to Edit-> Preferences in the iTunes program
From there, click on Devices, and you will see a list of backups that were created.
To possibly get your contacts back, you could restore from a back-up and attempt a sync again.
