Restoring Ipod Touch Apps

I recently had to restore my 2nd Gen (I think) ipod touch, which means I lost all my apps. Unfortunately, I had to have my laptop harddrive replaced a few months earlier, so had no backup. The support page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 says I should go to the App Store on the device, tap Updates, then tap Purchased. There is no button for Purchased that I can see, it just tells me all my apps are up to date.
Any help much appreciated

Did you try this in iTunes your computer as well?

  • 2.0 upgrade won't let me restore ipod touch app pack

    I can't add back the iPod touch app pack after upgrading to 2.0. Is the app pack now incompatible with 2.0? When I try to open my backed up ipa file, it says "The application 'iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa' could not be added to your iTunes library because it is not a valid application." I also thought that maybe the free apps in the App Store has the same applications as what was in the app pack, but I couldn't find them. It would suck if I have to re-purchase!

    Okay, it looks like the apps from the pack are part of the 2.0 update. So it makes sense that I don't need to install the app pack. It just threw me off for a minute since I was expecting to see the apps listed in the Applications section of iTunes.

  • Restoring Apps after restoring iPod Touch

    I recently restored my wife's iPod Touch and when I hooked it back up to her laptop iTunes kept asking me to purchase the January update. I kept telling it no seeing as we had already purchased the update along with the apps back in January. I read on the forum how it should be restored using the computer that the Touch was first synched to. This solved the problem seeing as how I was using the newest laptop to do the restore. The problem is that her original laptop is close to failing which means at some point I won't be able to restore the apps if the need arises again. Is there some way to transfer the January update files and apps over to her new computer so that next time I should be able to do a restore without having to use the original laptop?

    The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
    The file is located here:
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
    Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

  • "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" will not sync to iPod after restore

    Hi, new here.
    I'm using Windows, and have a need to reformat & reinstall every six months or so (I install & uninstall a lot of software; I'm a tester by profession). Now, I do not restore my iPod touch quite as often as I reformat, but when it can't be helped, like this other day when iTunes suddenly won't recognize my iPod touch when I connect it. The first time it happened, I was able to contact Apple Support by phone and they kindly re-posted the January Software Upgrade to my account by default, and I was able to re-download it (I also sent an email, hence I was re-sent the file a second time after that, which I have also re-downloaded since). I realized I might run into the same problem in the future, (and I've been doing a lot of reading around these forums) so I backed up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file.
    Three months later (i.e., today) my iPod wonked out again, but I can't seem to re-sync the file I backed up to my freshly-restored, now-plain-vanilla, without the January Software Upgrade iPod touch. The steps I followed are as below:
    (1) Copied the backed up file to "C:\Users\RonMarc\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa"
    (2) Re-launched iTunes and made sure I'm logged in to iTunes with the account I used to purchase the upgrade
    (3) Restored the iPod touch (it automatically downloaded 1.1.4 (at the time I purchased the upgrade, it was 1.1.3; I have also tried shift+Restore and browsed to a IPSW file of the 1.1.3 version)
    (4) When prompted if I'd like to set up the iPod as a new iPod or if I wanted to restore a previously backed up copy, I opted to restore. I have also tried re-restoring it and doing it the other way, i.e., "set up as a new iPod"
    (5) Ejected the iPod, reconnected it and Synced. Still, no January Software Upgrade.
    I'd like to know if I missed out on any steps. Or if the "back up the IPA file" method works only under the Mac, as in here. The idea of
    Thanks in advance. My apologies for the long post as I'd like to provide as much detail. -Ron Marc

  • Ipod touch apps crashing w/ ios 6?

    all of my ipod touch apps have been crashing on my newly updated ipod touch 4. especially safari, the app store and ibooks. is there a fix out yet? my ipod has also been really slow and laggy...

    Try this.
    1. Plug the iPod into the computer while iTunes is running.
    2. Press and hold down the Power button (one at the top) and the Home button for exactly 10 seconds (you may need a timer!
    3. While STILL HOLDING ONTO the Home button, release the Power button, and hold it for 15-20 seconds until you get a pop up on iTunes saying that your iPhone is in recovery mode.
    Keep in mind that your iPod screen should be completly blank, and should not be showing anything. Just restore the phone and you will be good.

  • Find iPod Touch App - Problem Setting up MobileMe

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up the Find iPod Touch App. Unfortunately, not sure what "generation" this particular one is (is there an easy way to find out?)
    I am following the instructions at http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/find-my-ipodtouch-setup/, and have OS v4.2.1 installed.
    Following these instructions, I try to set up a MobileMe account, but when entering my apple id and password, receive a message saying:
    "Device Not Supported". This iPod Touch is not qualified for free Mobile Me service.
    Not sure where to go from here - is there something else I need to upload?
    Thanks.

    From the 1st step in the above link:
    Make sure your iPod touch is running iOS 4.2 or later. If you’re creating a free account for the first time, you need a fourth-generation iPod touch.
    It sounds like you don't have a 4G iPod Touch.  Use this article to help you determine what generation iPod Touch you have.

    Hi
    Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
    To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
    You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.

  • Can I copy & install "ipod touch App Pack 4A93" in vista ultimate 64bit

    I am to do a clean install of vista ultimate 64bit. This is a move from my present vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    All my purchase for for the ipod touch have taken under vista 32bit and details are stored in App Data->Roaming->Apple Computer->iTunes->Mobile Applications->ipod touch App Pack 4A93.
    Now when I do a clean install of my latest OS vista ultimate 64bit I will have to wipe clean of the drive and it will erase my "ipod touch App Pack 4A93" aswell. I have saved that in a usb key to copy that back in the correct folder. Now my question is can I copy that back in VISTA 64bit and will it recognise my previous purchases for my ipod touch?
    Has anybody know it for sure?
    Thanking you in advance for your help and assistance.

    Hello.
    I am not sure if the Vista 64 bit will know the folder and App pack or not. But some of the other methods of backing up and getting Apps back you purchased are below. I am not sure about the UK but I know in the USA when you purchase an App you can download it again for free without having to buy it again.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
