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.

  • Paid-for apps disappeared after iPhone update - please help!

    Hi,
    I have just updated and backed up my iPhone, and found that many of my paid-for apps disappeared (e.g. Guardian, Delicious Pro, etc).
    I was thinking of sending a formal complaint and claim my money to Apple but thought I would give this Forum a try first.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Tomas

    Hi Ingo2711,
    I tried your link but none of the options apply (e.g. my App Store doesn't show the 'Purchased' thing on my iphone4).
    I know data and settings are part of the backup but, mate, these apps have not been backed up! Plus, my wife updated her phone last night and the same happened to her!!!!
    So annoying.
    Please help!!

  • 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 ringtones disappeared after software update

    I lost all ringtones purchased on my iphone when I synced and downloaded the latest software update. The ringtones are still on my imac, but even after syncing again, I cannot get them back on my phone.  Help?

    I have same issue.  I have done the checklist from iMore website -- all techniques do not work.  I followed the steps, but the "remove and sync" does not appear.  I also did "restore from backup"; still did not work.  The ringtones were NOT restored on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.1). 
    Apple will have to do another update to fix this issue and refund the purchase.

    I had the 1Password icon on my toolbar but it disappeared after an update. How do I get the icon back to the toolbar. I have tried all of the help instructions but none have worked.

    In Safari preferences extensions  or extension gallery, its there and you should re-enable or re-install as long as you have it purchased from Mac App Store.

    Each time that you add or change the card details on your account then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct, that the card is active, and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear within a few days or so.

  • 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.

  • Where did the "plus" button go to add contacts.  It disappeared after I updated my phone.

    Where did the "plus"button go on my iphone to add contacts? It disappeared after I updated my phone.

    The iTunes app cannot disappear ... it may be on a different screen.
    Regardless, you can force it to your home screen by doing:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • Unable to open App Store after Yosemite update

    I can't open my App Store after the update, the icon either bounces for a really long time or it manages to open, but nothing is loaded or interactive.
    Help!!

    If the above does not resolve your problem:
    -You can reinstall the Yosemite
    -You can wait and see if the next 10.10.1 update sorts your dilemma and run your updates manually via Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
    software update via terminal:
    To list the available software updates, use the following command.
    sudo softwareupdate -l
    All available software updates can be installed with the following command:
    sudo softwareupdate -i -a
    Install specific updates from those listed with the following:
    sudo softwareupdate -i PackageName

  • Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3

    Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3
    My carrier provides tethering service and I used it often so I don't think this is from network problem.
    What I remember is that after I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 I once activated personal hotspot function and it was hanged.
    So I reboot my iPhone and the menu disappeared. Is this another bug that is from iOS 4.3.3??

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Not wise to post IMEI or ICCID in the clear, FYI. I have asked
    the hosts to edit that info in your post.
