Recover apps lost in iOS 5 update

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5.01.  In the process, I lost several applications that I had previously purchased and installed on the iPad.  Is there a way to recover these apps, all purchased from the apple apps store? I have a feeling that the iPad was restored from an earlier backup on iTunes.

Connect your iPad via USB and open iTunes on your computer.  When the iPad is listed on the left side of the page, click on it once and it will open in iTunes.  You'll see Apps on the upper right hand side.  Click on Apps and all the Apps you have purchased in iTunes will be listed.  You can choose to sync all apps, or you can choose to sync selected apps.  If you choose sync selected apps, just put a check mark in the apps you want on your iPad.  Once you've made your selections, choose apply in the lower fiths hand corner, then sync.  The apps will be on your iPad.

  • How do I recover apps lost during ios update?

    I just updated Ipad to ios 5 successfully but I lost a bunch of apps. What happened? How do I recover them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • Msn email "drafts" folder lost in IOS update; did not reappear with "restore".  Any clues?

    msn email "drafts" folder disappeared in IOS update; did not reappear with "restore". 
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance!

    I thought I would voice my opinion as well.
    I have an iPhone 3G and whilst I would like to say that it is excellent and that I enjoy using it the reality is that in its current state (2.02 software) it is unusable. I really had to hold my tongue there - I feel really mad at present and feel that apple should try to release software that has been through at least one decent test cycle.
    I am on my second phone - the first being returned at the suggestion of apple care who suggested it may be a hardware fault - there was no fault with the hardware - again software issues but I exchanged it to cover both bases.
    I have never found that the backup to work and simply do a full restore - which at present I perform on a daily basis as the phone locks at the apple screen on a daily basis and it then takes over 5 hours to restore - it is unusable.
    I suspect the underlying issue in my case relates to the volume of applications that I load onto the device - but hey it should be fit for purpose!
    What I am looking for here is honest recongnition and report of the issues and problems with the device from apple - and releases that give a clearer indication of their intended purpose i.e. a little more detail than "Bug Fix". Is that too much to ask?

  • HT4623 third party apps not loadingwith IOS & update

    After updating to IOS 7 some of my third party apps wont load?

    The issue is actually not related to the 3.1.3 update.
    The issue occurs because the iPod or iPhone is unable to properly authenticate that you are the proper owner of the application. The apps are launched, the device checks who purchased the app, then checks if it has been authorized to continue. At some point in the process a mismatch occurs and the app quits. The easiest way of determining if this is your specific issue is to launch a native app (Phone, iCal, Contacts, etc) and verify that it launches, then launch a downloaded app (Skype, AIM, Facebook, etc) and verify that it quits shortly after launching.
    Two possible ways of resolving the issue:
    1) Trying to keep most application data, sync iPod/iPhone, deauthorize computer and sync again, reauthorize computer, and sync again. You may lose music on the iPod/iPhone until the final sync. Make sure it's all on your computer beforehand.
    If that doesn't work,
    2) Deauthorize computer, restore iPod/iPhone, authorize computer, set iPhone up as new device, then sync. This is the cleanest (and in my opinion the best) method but will also not preserve all application data (WIFI passwords, voicemail password, certain saved data within applications, SMS, etc).
    To deauthorize and reauthorize your computer account, load iTunes and select the "Store" menu item.
    Hope this helps,
    Brian

  • How do I recover my lost tabs after updating to Firefox v33?

    Problem: After update to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP tabs from my previous session, which was last night at 6:38 pm EST.
    Here are the steps that I have taken:
    1) History > Restore previous session is greyed out.
    2) I have checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > General panel > When Firefox starts: > Show my windows and tabs from last time.
    3) I have right-clicked on Firefox > Properties > Previous Versions. But since I never set up any sort of restore configuration, there were no previous versions available.
    4) I have tried to look for the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder to replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because the date for that file was last modified at 10/14/2014 6:38pm. However, I can not find the session.js file and the only sessionstore-related files that I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak-20140923175406.
    Please help! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to History to find my tabs one by one because I also had GROUPs of tabs that I have not opened in a month or more and each group of tabs have many tabs in them too.

    Hi magasx, I'm trying to understand the part about previous.js. That was not helpful because it wasn't an early enough version of your session? In your screenshot it is a very large file, and so is your recovery.js. Did you check the list of closed windows and tabs that appears on the History menu to see whether what you're missing appears there?
    Your screen shot shows a 9MB file from March 22nd, it's the last one in the list. To try that file, I suggest copying it to a safe place, and then when Firefox is closed, renaming the current sessionstore.js file to sessionstore.old and copying in the upgrade...js file and renaming it to sessionstore.js. Then when you start Firefox, Restore Previous Session. Does that get you close?

  • Pages files lost in iOS update?

    I recently updated iOS just to find out that it wiped out all of my applications. I have since restored all my applications but I have found that all my Pages documents have disappeared. Is there any way I can have them restored? All my media is still there like music and videos just not my Pages docs and documents for a few other applications as well.

    I have been having the same problem.  The only two solutions I know are to drag the documents from your Mac back into iCloud and they should synch with your iOS device.  Then save the docs to iTunes on your iOS device because, as I'm finding, iCloud will continue to delete your files from Pages!
    If you saved the documents in iTunes on your iOS device and/or you backed them up on yor Mac, you can restore them from iTunes on your Mac by connecting you iOS device to the Mac or copy them back into Pages from iTunes on your IOS device (in Pages select '+', then 'copy from iTunes').
    But this doesn't stop iCloud from sabotaging your documents - over to Apple?

  • How to recover contacts lost in software update?

    I updated my Iphone software without backup the data on my phone, now I have lost everything.
    I tried the available restore backup on itune, but still did not get anything back.
    Please tell me if there is any other ways that I can get my contacts back?

    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6). 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?

    I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?
    I did a reset of my phone yesterday and now when I go to purchaed to download my paurchsed tabs there is nothing there.
    I see them in my ipad but they are not in my itunes app section either.
    I searched for one in the app store and it usually said "open" or had the cloud icon with the little arrow to downlaod again (free). But none of that shows up at all this time. All the apps that I'm missing show up in the pp store for me to buy again like I never purchased them at all!
    What's going on?
    I'm missing a ton of apps!
    Pleae help me!
    Gaby

    I just wanted to add this information to my post:
    I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
    In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
    In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
    Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
    Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
    I want my apps back.
    Thanks,

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.
    Regards.

  • I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

    Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
    This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
    As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
    Good luck friend.

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

  • IOS update deleted apps

    Today I updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation 8GB. Recently I had bought a few apps including Angry Birds and Cat Physics (both great games!) After syncing my ipod, backing it up twice and installing the update I put all of my apps and songs back on it. I then went to play those games and they were no longer on my ipod or macbook i decided to look for the receipt for these it is was in my inbox, so i do have proof of buying these apps. I don't know how to get these back without buying them again!
    please help!
    P.S. i also noticed that my notes weren't saved and my progress in other games were not saved! HELP!
    Thanks<3

    You can simply download them again using the same iTunes Store account that you used to get them the first time. There will not be a charge for downloading an app that you already paid for before. The key here is using the same account in iTunes Store.
    More than likely your notes and previous data on games is probably lost for good. I have seen several posts on this subject since the iOS 4 update and have yet to see a satisfactory method of recovering this data after the update.
