Restoring all applications

I purchased the new iPhone 4s and I have fully backed up my iPhone 3gs to my computer. I did a restore on the new iphone 4s to get all my applications, settings and data from my old phone (3gs). There were no error messages that resulted from the restore. However, only about half of my applications restored and none of my application folders copied over. I wondering if there is an issue with the 11 page limit on the iphone. Without the folders, I have all 11 pages filled with applications. Wondering if the restore has to copy the applications over first and then create the folders. Any suggestions, besides installing all the missing applications and re-creating all the folders??? Both phones have the lates IOS 5.

Okay - I found the answer. As I suspected the 11 page limit on the iphones limits how many applications you can install on it. When doing the restore, it didn't copy the folders over, it copied the applications one by one and ran out of room after the 11th page was filled up. So, I moved all the copied applications on the new phone to folders and maximized my "blank" pages for additional apps. I sync again and the rest of my applications copied over. I just have to put them in the correct folders again. This is an inconvience, but better than downloaded them all again.
Apple - Please update your sync options in your software to copy the folder structure and not just the individual applications.

TS1702 how to restore all application after update ios7

i made update to ios 7.0.4 & i didn't find the old application that was stored at my iphone

iTunes Restore Purchases
This works good. When you find that apps don’t appear even in iTunes or if the sync doesn’t really put all apps into the iPhone, you might want to head over to the “Purchases” section (under Quick Links) in iTunes store. You’ll find the apps you’ve already downloaded via the App Store here.
Download the apps and you can then sync them to the iPhone. This way, the apps will be back on the iPhone.
Manual Mode
Perhaps, if nothing works, you’ll have to individually download all the apps. I know this is bad but this option works like a charm although it’s tedious and no fun. To ease things, however, Apple does show you the apps that you’ve already installed.
Go to the App Store
Now tap on Updates
Tap on Purchased
Tap on “Not on this iPhone“
Install the apps that you want.
Arguably, this is a lengthy process but this definitely ensures that all your apps are back.
And oh, do note that if the app isn’t compatible with the firmware you just updated, you might not see the app getting downloaded or if it does get downloaded, you might run into trouble using the app.

How do I restore all applications to English language?

For some reason part of my iPad apps speak in my home language (Italian), others in the language I have chosen for the iPad (English). For instance, in iCal part of the application is in English, part in Italian. Is there a way to tell the iPad to set itself on a single language?

You have the international region format set to Italian. This controls the format for dates, time, and telephone numbers. That's why your calendar months and days are in Italian. You could go to Settings > General > International > Region Format and change to an English language region, but that would also change the display format for time and telephone numbers.

The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

Try to reboot the iPhone, if that doesn't help make a backup via iTunes, and restore the iPhone via iTunes.
Otherwise disable background refresh, and kill all apps

Does Content Copier restore all bought application...

Hi,
I have a 7610 and was hoping to have the firmware upgraded.
When I back up my phone with Content Copier it gives a list of the files that it's backed up. This list does not seem to include any third-party applications I've installed or their data files.
I'm currently using PC Suite 6.41.6 but have also recently used 6.81 which seems to behave the same. (As an aside - 6.81 seems to break Lifeblog 1.0 synchronisation - any further info on that anywhere?)
I have not been able to get a definitive answer (even from a Nokia Service Centre) to the following questions:
- Are all copyrighted bought applications backed up by Content Copier? I'm referring to applications installed from SIS files and applications installed by text message.
- Is all data saved to the phone by those applications backed up?
- Can all applications and data be restored to the original phone they were backed up from? For example, after a firmware upgrade?
- Can they be restored to a replacement phone of the same model? For example, after loss/theft of original phone? I'm assuming that in some cases, the change in IMEI number might be a problem here.
- Can they be restored to a replacement phone of a different model that supports the same version of J2ME etc? I'd be surprised if this worked but I thought I'd ask.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Phil
P.S. There seems to be something wrong with the advanced search of the forums. The "All of these words" option never seems to return anything.
P.P.S. The "Preview Post" button also seems to have a problem - it loses all the line breaks in the post.

1. The sent items folder issue might be caused by the trial version limit.
2. You can issue a bug report for NokiGems. Usually fixed in 24 hours.
3. SMS's senders are phone number means the phone book has no name for that number.
What's the law of the jungle?

Can I restore my applications and data from a ML time machine back up to a machine running Lion?

Because of the horrible battery life with Mountain Lion (10.8.2), I am looking to downgrade to Lion. I have a Time Machine backup of my current machine, running ML. I do not want to restore all the way back to my last Lion backup, because that was a while ago. Basically, I want to backup my current ML hard drive, erase the computer, perform a fresh Lion install, and restore my apps/data using the ML Time Machine backup. Is the ML Time Machine backward compatiable with Lion?

I am unaware of any battery life problem with Mountain Lion. There are many problems with incompatible 3rd party software, but that is a different problem.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
Will the ML Time Machine be backwards compatiable with Lion?
No. 3rd party application may be fine. Most Apple applications and data will not work.
Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

How to restore all Logic files from a Time Machine backup

Hello-
I recently had to clear all of the memory on my laptop, in order to free up some room. It was running very slow, and I had far too much clutter on there. I have a MacBook, and back everything up on Time Capsule, so I've spent the past couple of days individually retrieving all of the files that I want on my computer. I naively thought that I could click on the Logic Pro application from a previous backup, but failed to realize that I have to find the drivers and other components that make up the software. Where can I locate all of these files, and how would you recommend going about restoring all of my projects, drivers, etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Smart mailboxes are not a storage location, they are just a kind of saved search. There's not really anything to restore if you can't restore the messages.
As to your difficulty restoring mail, see the [Time Machine FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018] and [Time Machine Troubleshooting|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2057525] guides. Also, try posting on the TM forums for better help.

Whenever I turn my MacBook pro on, all the other stuff is loaded (MS word/excel/powerpoint), Spotify, iCal, etc are automatically loaded, so in order for me to go to my desired website, I have to close (x) out all applications loaded. Please advise.

If you are using Lion:
Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

HT3910 Original OSX 10.5.6 and app dvd's (that came w/MBP) lost,and have recv'd replacement dvd from Apple. Once hard drive is erased and new OS w/dvd instl'd, how do I insure all applications bundle - that came with MBP - will reinstall?

Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful.

Lost all applications after upgrading

Hi, I've just got a 3GS and was trying to sync with itunes to activate the phone
Here's what happened:
1. Did a back up with previous phone (3G) with iTunes.
2. Connect new 3GS with iTunes.
3. Sync/restore new 3GS
4. Update phone firmware to version 4.1
After doing the above and restarting, everything else is ok (restored correctly) except for all my applications. They are all gone now. Can anyone help me out here? any steps that i missed out and is there anything that i can do to restore all the applications?
Thanks

I have the same problem, except I realised I haven't lost all my applications but there's a blank page between original applications and bought applications, so it looked like they weren't there.
I can't work out a way of moving everything across to the left and getting rid of the blank page though.
Anyone with any ideas?

ITunes 8 lost library and all applications for the iPhone 3g

I am on WinXP Prof, using iTunes v8. This is second time I lost my entire library with ratings, applications, etc. for my iPhone 3g. The first tie it happened to iTunes v7, now with v8.
Music folder (it is on another HDD) is still there, but iTunes shows no playlists, no files. I looked at other posts on how to rebuild the library, but could not restore song ratings. I did not have a backup of the library files (only music mp3s).
Now I re-created the library from scratch (glad iTunes writes song data into mp3 and not into its library file.)
QUESTION: How do I restore all of my applications that I bought and free ones from the App Store for iPhone? I see that the "Mobile Applications" folder is there with all of the *.ipa files, but iTunes does not show those apps. How do I make iTunes pick it up?
PS. It is really amazing to me that iTunes would behave like this in v8. Apple, WOW... Up until I bought iPhone 3G in August 2008 I was using different versions of WinAmp for ~6 years and not once did I lose my library of songs...

Hi, I and most polish users have the same problem. There are plenty of apps I would buy if I could but I need to have that **** credit card. Apple could at least enable paypal payments for foreing users but it looks they don't mind losing money they could get (America is not the only country wehere people have iPhones).
So I guess most iPhone users will continue to hack their phones to be able to install greatly affordable commercial applications instead of buying it. I gess I don't understand Apple anymore.
