Replacement iPhone 4, can i recover dowloaded music/apps if so how?????

Just received my replacement phone, unfortunately only had the original one a few months and hadn't synchronised any purchases with the computer used to set up the phone!! have no access to the computer used to set up my account, or the old address, am finding the site usless for infomation, please help!!

Do to your lack of syncing (thus backing up as the iPhone is NOT a backup device) there isn't much you can do. The phone as is designed to be synced regularly with your library that you control and maintain watchful eye over and I assume make backups of as it is your data.
The requirements and manual for the phone state you must use iTunes to maintain your data.
You can re-download apps using the same account for free, but for music or videos, you are out of luck.

    Hello gadawgirl21,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Transferring purchases
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store,synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
    If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

  • HT204074 I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone.  Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone?  Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

    Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone?  Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

    Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.
    Regards.

  • When I sync my iphone 4S using iTunes it only syncs 8.5GB of music, not the entore library as specified.  Is there a capcity default limit of the amount of storage that can be used for music and if so how do I change it?

    The only limit is that of the device. No restrictions on how much of it you can use for music. Is part of your music library unchecked?

  • How can i recover my music

    how can i recover my music that was deleted off my i pod when i sycned it on i tunes

    Hiya diesel, not sure why you went directly to questioning the legality of bailey's music? Plenty of people come here after their original PC has crashed, and they've tried to sync their ipod to a new PC. All perfectly legal. Just not very welcoming to ask whether she's a thief ~
    Anyhoo...if the ipod no longer has the music, bailey does need to get it from the PC it originally came from. If it's this same PC and she's looking at a blank itunes, the next step is to see if the music files are still on the hard drive:

    They probably could be related. Start with the articles below to troubleshoot issues with Wi-Fi as well as making sure that the router is using the recommended settings.

  • Have changed to a new iphone set but seems to have lost my applications I had purchased from applestores in my previous iphone. Can I recover them?

    Can I recover my applestore apps I had in my previous iphone? I can't find them in my new iphone although I have synced.

    Do the apps appear in iTunes? If so, make sure Sync Apps is checked and the apps you want are checked. If the apps aren't in iTunes, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same iTunes account you used to originally purchase them.  When selecting to download them, it will seem like you will be required to pay for them again, but you should then get a message that they are free since you already purchased them.

  • How Can I Recover lost music?

    How Can I Recover lost music?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I had to restore my iPhone and lost a lot of music!!! How can I get it back?! No cloud appears next to the songs, just buy!

    I had to restore my iPhone and lost a lot of music!!! How can I get it back?! No cloud appears next to the songs, just buy!

    You should be storing everything on your computer and you should always backup your computer.  Have you failed to do these things?
    If so, not good, then you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries.  Open iTunes store, click Purchased under Quick links

    Hello, All my sonds are deleted from my laptop and from Itunes. If i synch my iphone to my itunes all my music will go. How do i prevent losing all my music?

    There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • I got a new iPhone , why can't I get my apps from my cloud ?

    I got a new iPhone , why can't I get my apps from my cloud to go on my new iPhone from App Store it's asking for a credit card the apps were free and are in my cloud already ,so why is it asking me for a credit card and it will send me to my settings and that's were it asks me and if I don't put one in I can't get my apps!

    While you could create a new ID without a credit card by following the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534, I would recommend you first try contacting Apple support to find out what you can do to use your existing Apple ID without using a credit card (if it didn't have one before).  You can set up a call with them by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption>How to recover missing purchased items.  The call will be free but you will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.  Alternatively, you can contact iTunes store support by email here: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.
