Restoring apps problem

Howdy. My iphone 3GS I originally had synced with Windows, but now I sync it with Mac.
I did a backup and transferred purchases on both the Windows and Mac sides before doing this.
When doing the actual 'sync with this computer' on the Mac side, I did not expect my neatly-arranged icons suites that iOS4 allowed me to make would revert to a 10-page swish-affair with 11 programs missing.
The error I get for these are "The app '___' was not installed on the iPhone '(phone name)' because the app could not be found.
Um, I did a backup. The app shows up in the iTunes list on the Mac side as well, though the icon shows up as a blank picnic table thing.
I really don't want to load up Win7 to restore these files, which would wide out the now Mac-synced iPhone... especially as to re-sync on the Mac side afterward will override everything again anyhow.
Where can I find these files and manually copy them from my Windows iTunes folder to my Mac iTunes folder...
Thanks.

Hi all, I just had the same prob on my two yesterday and after hours of fluffing around, finally discovered that it was because i had the "installing apps" restriction on still...
Go into Settings - General - restrictions - turn "installing apps" on (then off again after its all done and dusted)
Hope this helps

I'm having problems with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner. Any suggestions? I've tried everything but restoring. Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

I am having a problem with facebook notifications. The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner. I've tried everything but restoring the phone. Is this a phone problem or an app problem? Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start

I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

IPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update

What's the fix?
Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.

Can one restore as new *and* restore app settings?

I'll be upgrading from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4, and from iOS 4.3.3 to 5, so I've read that it's best to set up the new phone as a new phone to avoid problems. However, it's indispensable for me to preserve all of my individual app settings.
Is it possible to set up as a new phone and yet later restore app settings?

As has been told to you in your other post, NO

I have an original iPad running 5.1.1. It has started throwing me out of safari to the point it is now unusable. Have tried everything including full restore but problem persists?

Try a few things:
First, try double tapping the home button. You should see a row of apps at the bottom; these are your recenty opened apps. Hold your finger down on any of the icons until they start to shake, and a red minus() appears. Tap the red minus for each app. This will close the app, not delete it. If you have too many apps open, this can cause crashes.
If it still crashes, try the basic troubleshooting steps here:

I need advice on my camera app problem

Hi...
I have been suffering with this camera app problem for the last month and a half of having my iPhone 4S. What happens is that the camera is either working fine and I am able to use it for a short while before it completely shuts down with a purple screen, which results to a black screen and then one day I heard this funny click noise almost like the shutter in the camera was going off at the back.
Now what I am left with is I can not use my camera at all or I can use it for like 5mins before it has a "melt" down.
I asked for advice about a month ago and was told to restart the phone. Back up my phone and restore my software. Well I have now done that twice and that hasn't made a difference.
My phone is only 5months old and I haven't dropped it or anything because most of the time it's on a table or in my hand bag.
So my service provider that I have my contract with has said that they can send it in for repair or they can send it in for testing and see if they can find the fault and if not then they will replace my phone with the iPhone 5 with a pay in difference.
So help me which option is the better one to go for with this problem???
Because I am a photographer and I love having a camera and if I don't have my camera on my I resort to my iPhone.
So HELP please.

thanks very much, that's worked

How to restore Apps from icloud backup

Hi,
My first post here. I did some searching but couldn't find what I need so I am trying to ask it now directly.
My iPhone 3GS is shutting down when phone is busy like trying to open camera, trying to play a game, trying to check an email. It shuts down and when I tried to power On it says battery is drained. But when I charge, it will power on and battery is back to where it was when it shut down.
Did significant reading around here in community and i did see lots of suggestions to reset my phone.
First try, I backup my phone in iCloud (while charging otherwise it wont finish). Then I reset my phone and select reset all (erase all data)
Then I tried to restore from iCloud backup.
Result: problem still persist on a newly restored iPhone.
Second try. I reset once again and choose start as new.Seems I can now check my email without shutting down.
Now to my question. How can I restore my apps from my icloud back up one by one.I only want to restore apps that carries my important files like images, FileApp.
Question 2: Do I have to buy and pay all my app again?
Thanks

That is really sad . I guess I have to restore from backup and do all manual copies then reset again to make a fresh start.
I am once an iPhone fanatic that won't consider changing to other phones but now it seems that I have to reconsider.
I mean, it's great but "all or nothing" method is what apple is implementing from day 1. Like a basic example of iTune contents. Why cant you choose what to put on your computer/phone. Why does it has to delete all phone contents.
Anyway.. Thanks. At least now I know what to do now.

ICloud restore Apps download while in waiting mode then disappear after

Hi All,
When I restore my iPhone 4 from the iCloud backup, I get prompted to key in a new passcode for the phone, Facetime password, iMessage password, and my email passwords but I do not get prompted for my AppStore password.
My apps stay in "Waiting..." mode and they start downloading at that state. The moment the download completes, all the waiting apps turn white and flash (disappear and appear) and the downloaded app disappears forever (icons have shifted as if they app was deleted).
I have tried this about 7 times already and at every single attempt, I was not prompted for my AppStore password (I'm guessing the restored apps do not get authenticated/verified so they just get dumped after download).
I then tried a few more restores and thought of ways that would "interrupt" this instant download of apps (in Waiting... state). I tried shutting the phone off after I keyed in all my passwords (I have about 5 email accounts). Upon starting back up the phone, it will go on with the automatic download without asking me for my AppStore password.
I decided to try to interrupt the sequence further (in another restore attempt) but continously tapping on an application in the Waiting... state (similar to how you would pause/unpause a new app download/update). This eventually caused the AppStore login prompt. After which, one of the apps now hit Loading... state and downloading it completely will install it. All the relevant data is restored.
Now the issue is that despite being able to do this, I still lose 1 or 2 apps (one before I shutdown and before I can hammer an app enough to make it pop up the AppStore login screen). Is there some sort of delay issue with regards to the iCloud restore process? Is it possible to get the phone to prompt me for my AppStore password immediately after a restore?
I'm not sure if this is due to my iCloud backup being corrupted (upon initial restore the phone reboots and does the loading graphics and then to the apple then get stuck in the spinning icon for a while). I dont know how much more I can describe what I'm experiencing but I will gladly provide more information.

OK...
Here's what I did to get around this problem, a slight modification of a fix for another issue...
All you need to do is Settings->General->International->Languages–>Change to British English
This will cause the Springboard to soft reset and the stuck apps will automatically resume and download themselves! Or not, in which case you can follow the steps below.
Now (very important) after perfomimng step one again, quickly go to the app that you are stuck on, move it out of its folder if necessary, to get at it more easily. Press and hold to bring up the 'x' then tap to delete. Note: You will only have few seconds, maybe 2 or 3 before the springboard finishes its refresh and the resume download kicks back in on the stuck app. Once it gets to resume restore mode, you will be unable to delete the stuck app. The rest of your apps should continue to download normally now, once the offending app is deleted. You can easily re-download that app later, once the others have finished restoring.
You can now change the language back to US English or whatever (I'm going to leave mine in the Queens English)
Cheers! Hope this helps someone.

IPhone 4 app store app problem: updating or adding a new app will not download. The app "freezes" with "waiting" caption below.

App store app problem: updating or adding a new app causes app to freeze up with "waiting" below app as if it's just waiting its turn, but will not finish and I am unable to use those apps! Help!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPad app problems it won't. Let me download apps.it says check billing info I check everything number by number letter by letter

iPad version 4.2.1 app problems it won't. Let me download apps.it says check billing info I check everything number by number letter by letter it still won't work everything on my billing is correct

If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

Depending on the size of the app or the connection speed when using Wi-Fi it could take a little longer to download. You can also try to download it onto your computer, might be faster, and sync it to the phone after that.

How to restore App Store on 10.7.5 ?

I've damaged the App Store and now it doesn't work. I believe I did it by deleting the languages that I didn't use on my mac. And probably I did something wrong.
I'm using Mac OS 10.7.5.
Any ideas how can I restore App Store and reinstall it? Thanks

I thought that it was with Mt Lion that one needed to reinstall the OS X, but that with Lion all that was necessary was to install the last update combo and it would install a new version of the App Store app. OCICBW
But before you do something so drastic as use OS X Recovery, try this;
If you have the App Store app and it isn't working drag & drop it in the Trash. Then download and install the 10.7.5 Update Combo.

Please let me know if this works for you as I can not longer test this as I don't have a Lion installation.
