Upgraded iPhn4 to IOS5 after backing up but all apps were lost in restore to an earlier backup
What is a user to do? Sought to upgrade was advised that some purchased apps were not on iTunes and should be added to library. Did so. Multiple attempts to upgrade iTunes with "invalid signature" errors but finally succeeded. Then upgrade of iPhone4 but the restore was defective wiping out APPS, "recent calls," photo albums and messages and leaving me back at a 8/2011 backup. What is a user to do?
Open the App Store, choose "Updates" from the bottom, then "Purchased". You can re-download your purchased apps from there.
Of course, before that, you had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and sign in with your Apple ID.

I'm trying to recover a file and the app company said to restore from an earlier backup. My iPhone only shows the most recent backup. I've been searching the net for answers - I found the back up file and date sorted them (over 6mb of files). How can I get my iPhone to restore from an earlier backup?
I am on Windows Vista so I don't have Time Machine.
I have backed up the backup folder so if I mess it up, I have it in a separate place.
Can I just delete all the files with todays date in that backup folder and have it forced to the next oldest date?
Why doesn't the iPhone show a list of the least several backups.
Info:
iPhone 4S
Software version 5.1.1
Backed up to computer through iTunes (not iCloud)As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

HT4527 Shared, transfered, backed up, synced, but all apps are gone...?
Hi,
We have 1 iPad, 1 iPhone, and 3 iPods that need to be moved from old-pc to new-pc.. So I:
- read forums, faqs, etc.
- authorize new-pc
- set up sharing and copy everything from old-pc to new-pc
- transrfer purchases from iPad to new-pc
- do a back up of iPad to new-pc
- upgraded iPad on new-pc
- sync iPad to new-pc
Then, much to my dismay, I see that no apps are present. Music and movies are there, so are some personal settings, but no AppStore apps. "A-ha!", I thinks to myself..."I'll restore from backup!" After which iPad has reverted it's sync to old-pc.
So I curse for a bit and re-sync iPad to new-pc. But all apps are still gone, and the only way to get them back on iPad is to download them from iStore (or whatever the h*** it's called) but all personal app-info is gone.
Please help. How do I transfer iThing ownership from old-pc to new-pc without losing half of everything?
Thanks, oh so very much.

Have you tried this...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings. -
I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored? I cannot seem to get it to give me that option. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks so much!
If the phone has already been set up, you will need to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to be able to go through the setup again. This time use Restore from Backup.
This will walk you through the setup screens:

I lost my iCloud calendar but I do have a recent iPad back up on my computer will my calendar restore form my computer backup to my iPad mini and then can I get that info on my iPhone 6?
Not if you carefully follow the procedure outlined in this user tip from wjosten: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. If you're using iTunes 11 you'll want to first go to iTunes>View>Show Sidebar in order to follow this guide.
Edit: Sorry, didn't notice that you were restoring from the backup of an older phone. Before doing so, connect your phone to your computer without syncing and import your photos, as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, to avoid losing them when you restore to this backup. You will lose the app data from your current phone when you restore to the older backup.

HT3702 I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free?
I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free? It is possible to get money back?
If you are referring to the temporary store holding charge as described on the page that you posting, which is 'charged' each time that you change the card details on your account, then it should disappear off the card within a few days or so - though it varies by bank, and with it now being the weekend it might an extra day or two. If they haven't disappeared within a week of them being made then you could contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
Also some apps may be free to download but they then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features within them - you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions on your phone. -
App Store shows that I have 9 updates but all Apps are up to date I have tried re downloading all the updates. All Apps show the correct version number post update.
I have the same issue with one App in the App Store. The app is installed and current. But the App Store says I have an update. I tried restarting. No help.

After my third day of iOS5 songs stopped playing; sometimes they would randonmly skip, sometimes I couldn't open them at all. It appeared as if it was playing but no sound came of it. (Videos and other apps with sound worked well).
I searched here but there was no definite answer so I restored my iPod. Now I recovered all my apps, but my songs are lost. I have them in my computer, but getting those 500 songs sorted again (covers, genres, ordering, all of them had lyrics)... it will take way too long. Any way I can retrieve them?
Thanks in advance.Did you check your security software settings to be able to restore? iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

After 10.3.1 update Library intact BUT all apps appear in download queue
After completing the upgrade to 10.3.1 tried to sync phone. Itunes automatically went to Itunes store and started to download apps I have already downloaded and updated long ago. Time to download then went to 6 hours and itunes froze.. Rebooting machine and re-starting itunes continues the loop. I replaced library with "previous"....initial loop was gone for a few minutes and then store wanted to download 115 apps.
How do I get my "library" back to reflect current app status and not have it want to download everyone app again and FREEZE?I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

My daughter accidentally reset her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. All her photos were on camera roll so I believe they should have automatically been backed up, but none have been restored. Why?
When she plugged in the ipod last night it backed up again so that now shows as the latest backup. No previous backups are listed so I do not seem to have the option to rerun the old one. She had many pictures on the camera roll taken from well before July. I can only presume that the backup in July must have been incomplete - but then I didn't think it was supposed to list as an option to restore from. Luckily many of the photos had been backed up on the pc but I am very frustrated as to why the icloud backup didn't protect them. Thank you for your advice though, I appreciate it.

I just got a new iPod and computer, and when I logged into my iTunes account my music and movies were there but none of my apps were. How do I get my apps back?
See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I downloaded iOS4 for my daughters Iphone it says it backed up before the new OS was loaded but all her contacts etc are gone Are they on the backup if so where is the backup stored
Contacts are in the supported application on the computer. On a Mac that is Address Book, on a Windows computer that is Outlook, Windows Contact depending on the version of OS you are using.

Update worked but all apps load slowly
Updated to iOS5 on my VZ Iphone4. No issues during the update, and everything on the device works perfectly. However, whenever I start or switch to an App, there is a "delay" while it feels/seems as the App is loading. The screen changes to the App, but either the content of the app doesn't fully appear or the content does appear but the app won't respond to me until a few seconds pass. Same experience for Mail, Messages, Settings, Calendar, Contacts, Weather, etc.. With iOS 4 when I touched an icon the app would load near instantly; now when i touch an icon the app starts to load, appears to "freeze" while it is doing something, then becomes available to use.
Is there a remedy?
Thank you.Power cycle your phone (turn it off, then back on). Seems like you filled up RAM and may need to flush it out.

How do I go back to forgotten apple ID that all apps were purchased under?
I tried to sync another new iPhone 4 to my computer to help out someone. The computer seen it as a replacement for my phone. The changed apple ID is now what my apps are under. I'm guessing that's the problem anyway. So how do I recover my iTunes account and apps from this other apple ID. I have changed my ID and removed all apps from phone then reinstalled them. I have restored the phone. Power down and up. Hard reset. Changed all kinds of things in settings. Whenever I try to update an app it says cannot connect to iTunes store. But I can purchase any app I want. I believe it's iTunes account problem and not my iPhone.
I'm hoping to get help here. The express lane techs told me to do again what I already had told them I had done before. Plus the generic thanks for using iTunes.Are you trying to transfer app puchases from one Apple ID to another?
