Restoring Paid Apps that Weren't Back Up on iTunes

Hello,
I need to know how to restore some paid apps back to my iPad that aren't backed up via iTunes on my computer. I purchased and downloaded the apps directly on my iPad and there was a syncing issue and for some reason it completely wiped my apps and because I hadn't synced it fully with iTunes the apps weren't transfered to iTunes and I lost them. I wouldn't be bothered but a few were quite expensive.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
-Oliver

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

HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

Uptated to iOS 5 on my ipad2 and now all of my apps that weren't preinstalled on the iPad crash immediately after opening. I already tried restarting the ipad and that didn't work.

Uptated to iOS 5 on my ipad2 and now all of my apps that weren't preinstalled on the iPad crash immediately after opening. I already tried restarting the ipad and that didn't work. I really don't want to have to do this with 100+ apps. Or sit through a complete restore...

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back?

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back? It wouldn't matter too much except that it was a paid app. A search of topics wasn't successful. I've learned a lot from these discussion support communities. Thank you for any help.

Why won't that apps that weren't built into my iPod randomly stop working?

Try a reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.

HT201269 Will my photos transfer from iphone 4 to 4s if I restore the 4s from iPhone 4 back up on iTunes?

Will my photos that I took with iPhone 4 transfer from iphone 4 to 4s if I restore the 4s from iPhone 4 back up on iTunes?

Do a backup of your 4, either to the cloud or your computer, depending on how you usually do this.
If you backed up your 4 to the computer, connect the new phone to the computer at this point, if you restored it to the cloud, do NOT connect it to the computer (or you might get an old backup by mistake). Just connect it to a charger.
When you first power up your new phone, it will ask you whether you want do configure it as a new phone or to restore it from a backup. Select "from a backup". The prodedure is slightly different for computer and iCloud backups, but you'll be able to figure it out.
This will restore all your apps, settings, and camera roll. Then you can either sync it to the computer or redownload your music and movies (depending on how you manage these things).
Once this is done, you can delete everything you don't want from the old phone.

Move to Australia, get an Australian credit card with an Australian billing address then change your iTunes address to your physical address in Australia.

Can I retrieve a paid app that was lost when I restored my iPad?

The iPad was not available in my hometown, but lucked out and one was in stock out of state while traveling. I bought it and had it activated in the store so I could download apps and play on the 4 hour ride home. Problem was that now my iTunes would not recognize my iPad so I could not put any of my music on it. I restored my iPad and in doing so lost my paid app! Is there anyway to retrieve it? I have the email receipt that I purchased it, but for the life of me can't figure out how to get it back with out repurchasing it. I appreciate any suggestions.

I have not tried to repurchase it since it does not say installed when I look it up
Because it is not installed on your iPad.
If you are signed inot ht eiTunes store wioth the same account used to purcahse that app, click on Buy and it will tell you that you have already purcahsed it and ask if you want to redownload it.

Problem: IAP Product is unable to restore, Paid app has to buy again after reserving app name

I face to 2 problems with my app after reserving app name for published app.
1. IAP
I published my WP8 apps ~1 year ago (we didn't have to reserve app name at this time).
Recently, I reserved an app name (same with published app) and published app. After that, our customers feedback that they're not able to restore IAP product that already bought. I tried with my personal account and it's true. It's strange that this
only happen on Windows Phone 8.1 OS. It's still be ok to restore IAP on Windows Phone 8 OS.
2. Paid app
Same situation above, after reserving app name for published app and release an update. This app is unable to download on both Windows Phone 8 & 8.1 OS for users who already bought. Please check error message below. I tried to restart the device but
problem still occur.
Both 2 problems become serious for us because our customers who purchased IAP product and paid app think we're cheating them.
I tried to contact to WP Support but they're investing for 1 week and now there is no answer for me.
I really need someone here could support us to roll back our apps to the stage that before I reserving an app name or fix it ASAP for us.

I'm also experiencing the same issue for my paid (with trial) app and it's becoming a serious problem for my users. I have an open ticket with Support for a month now and the case is still under investigation with the root cause not established yet. Interestingly,
the issue also started right after assigning a reserved app name.
Ocean68, by any chance, did you ever offer your paid app for free in the past? Just trying to see if there's a correlation here. Thanks.

After restore, got apps but not songs back

My daughter accidentally restored her Ipod Touch, losing all her apps and songs. I went through her purchase history and downloaded all the apps that she had paid for but when I tried to get her songs through Itunes I got a message that said the song had already been purchased, did I want to BUY it again. Not download it again, as I got when re-installing the apps, but do I want to BUY it again. If I hit yes, it would then ask me for payment information which obviously I didn't want to give. What's going on here? Why can't I get these songs again even though Itunes obviously has a record that they've already been paid for?
Thanks for you help
Mitch

If you use iTunes, you should be able to restore your music library (and software) by simply resynching your Touch. I trust you're done this, since all those songs are automatically stored on iTunes. You shouldn't have to repurchase your songs.
If you don't use free iTunes, or don't back up your documents, I'm afraid this limits your options.
If you need more assistance, I hope you'll post your comments/concerns in this thread.

How do I restore an app that is no longer available in the app store

I did a couple of really stupid things like trying to install ios8 without doing a complete backup anywhere (really stupid I know) and relying on one program to keep my passwords in without backing it up somewhere. The whole upgrade to ios8 through iTunes went badly and I had to do a restore. I was able to retrieve pics and such from my pc but that's it. I've gone to the App Store and downloaded some of the apps I'd purchased over the years, but the password program I used wasn't there. The other apps I downloaded restored things like webpages I had been looking at before the restore as well as progress in games, so it must be able to retrieve some info from the iPads memory. It's the loss of that password program that's really driving me nuts as I didn't have the info elsewhere. I bought it a few years back but it's not in the App Store anymore. It was called Safe, the icon was gray with a dial like the front of a safe. I'm hoping that there is some way of restoring this app and, like the other apps I've downloaded again, the information will still be there.
has anyone had any experience with this or that could point me in the right direction? It really isn't backed up elsewhere on my pic or the iCloud.

If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it, and if you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (you don't have another iOS device which has it on ?), and if you haven't got a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes (if you haven't got a backup then you won't have the app's content), then you won't be able to get it and your passwords back.

After having to do a restore my apps wouldn't install back to my iPod touch. They all worked before and now they wouldn't. WHY?

I did a restore to my iPod touch, after doing this when I did the restore the apps would not sync to my iPod. They all worked before the restore. Now it says I have to have iOS5 and I can't get that for my iPod touch. Why did they work before and how can I fix this problem?

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Restoring an app that has been hidden by Show Desktop in Windows 7

Does anyone know if a way to restore/unhide an AIR app that has been hidden by the Show Desktop command in Wndows 7? I used AutoHotKey to remap the Windows-D shortcut but it still does not capture the Show Desktop button in the Taskbar. I thought if there was a way that an AIR app could know that it had been hidden and restore itself I could use a Timer or create an eventListener to handle it.
I am trying to replicate the old Active Desktop of XP and the goal is to make sure that the app remains on the desktop at all times. This is the last hurtle!

HT201269 will a restore delete apps that are on the new phone

I just got an iphone 5 and they lady turned it on and synced my contacts. My question is, will the backup saved from my iphone 3 delete the new apps that come with the 5? Will it delete these or will it add my old apps to the new one?

It wont delete the preinstalled Apps of the iPhone 5 if that's what you are wondering.
You can safely restore from the 3G backup and get all your apps onto the new phone.
Alternatively, assuming you use the same apple Id you can simply redownload them form them from the purchased tab in iTunes on the new phone.

Restoring an app that was installed by configurator

I have a group of supervised apps, and one of my users accidentally deleted the 3rd party Mail app we use for our email on iPads. This was an app that we got through VPP, and pre-loaded on the devices before we issued them.
What's the easiest way to get the app back on the device for him?

Have you installed the OSX? If not you will have to erase the Macbook and install the OSX so in order to register the Macbook with your Apple ID. Then you will be able to download applications with your ID.
Ciao.
