What happened to my apps in iTunes

I did a clean install on my MacPro with Lion. Mine is one of the machines not supported by Mountain Lion. Before I cleaned out the drive, I cloned it, so I have everything on another drive installed in the same MacPro.
My iTunes Library was over a decade old and a giant mish-mash of folders nested inside of folders. Easy enough, I just downloaded my library from my iTunes Match account. It's my iPhone and iPad apps I'm curious about. Obviously with a new library and clean drive, I would not have any of my old apps in the new iTunes. I figured that when I attached my iPhone and iPad for a sync, those apps on the iOS devices would just reverse sync those apps back to iTunes. This doesn't happen. I just a a few apps, I added since the fresh computer.
How do I get all of those apps back into iTunes?

Obviously u remove itunes and setup it again. U shouldn't setup it in windows partision
There are some steps u should do :
1-u should go to ipad icon show in itunes and right click on it there icon called (transfer purchases) this will take ur apps on ur devices to itunes
2-u should backup ur device by itunes or icloud
3-go to window where U can see ur devices apps on itunes. u should sync ur application with ituns it will remove ur apps and setup it again
4-u will restore ur device from ur backup (step 2)
And goodluck man

What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

Depends upon what you mean by change.
If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

After upgrading what happens to the apps on my 3G?

I just received my iPhone 4 and put my backup from my iPhone 3G on. It works fine, and there is no more AT&T service on my iPhone 3G. I intend to use the 3G as an iPod Touch. I understand the SIM card needs to stay in the phone for this, even though it is not activated with AT&T.
What happens to the apps that are still on my 3G? They are still working. I assume they will stay there until I need to sync. Then I will have to set up a new iTunes account, under a unique computer user name, for the 3G and buy the apps all over again for the 3G.

Nope, the apps stay there until you delete them.
I currently sync 2 iPhones and 2 iPod Touch units all to one iTunes store account, and per the Apple licensing, they all can run apps I have purchased. I had a similar question as you when I first started using multiple devices, so I sent an email to the app author for the app I wanted most to do this with. His response was that this is Apple's terms, so if I didn't want to purchase a second license to use his app on a second device, then I didn't need to (but he wouldn't stop me if I wanted to either). In the end, I found this app author to be very dedicated to his app, and very responsive to my comments/requests, so I did purchase a second copy of his app (yes, I had my wife create an iTunes account and purchase it under her account).

What happens to my apps when I switch iCloud accounts on my phone?

I'm trying to switch the iCloud accounts from an old one that's acting up to a new one that I've created. When I started to, though, I got worried because it said something about Documents as I tried to delete the iCloud account that was already there.
When you change the iCloud acconts on your phone, what happens to your apps?
1.Are they all deleted?
2. If not, do they just stay and never get updated, or do they all reset?
3. Is there any way I can transfer the purchases to my new iCloud so that I don't have to buy them again?

Yeah, you can download them from Apple and from other sources. But then you have to add them to iTunes manually, you have to write (or copy & paste from somewhere else) descriptions, and jump through other hoops to get the same end result that used to be one-click-easy from within iTunes directly. Unless you don't care about having them neat and organized and stuff like that.
Add me to the list of disappointed trailer junkies.
This is an unfortunate side affect and agree that it is cumbersome if you wish to include all the extra info iTunes used to provide. I suggest sending your disappointment to apple via the iTunes feedback channel at http://www.apple.com/feedback

Restore your library from a recent / current backup. If you've failed to maintain a backup of data you obviously regard as valuable, see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

What happens to the apps if I sync to another pc

ok here is the question, I know that if I sync apps to another pc they will going to erase and reinstall the apps from purchased apps section but what happens to the saved data or games.. as an example; I have Hay Day game.. the game is at a certain level right now and I want to keep it that way.. once I sync it, it will be erased and reinstalled.. will it save my game progress? or how can I save it?

Game settings and other data is part of the backup:
iTunes: About iOS backups
A manual backup before you sync for the first time will save your content to the new PC.

Fresh install of Lion, what happens to iPhone Apps?

HI all,
I want to do a fresh install of Lion on my Mac. What is going to happen to all of my iPhone and iPod touch apps when I do this? Is there a way to back them up and then add them back to iTunes when I'm done?
I already have all of my photos, movies, music, Mac app .dmg's and documents backed up on a 1TB drive (not time machine, just manual). But what about my iPhone Apps?
I have spent a lot of money on these things and I do not want to have to buy them all again.

Try a safe boot by holding down shift key during boot

Deactiviation of my computer - what happens to my apps I bought before?

Hello everybody!
I've already activated my ID on 5 computers. I only own my current one, which is the last one I've activated. The only button I saw in the options was "deactivating all computers". My question is: what happens to all the apps I bought before? When I sign in again after deactivating all computers, will I be able to download and update all the apps I bought before deactivating all computers?
Thank you very much!

See this User tip for a backup strategy.
Don't attempt to sync your devices while the computer is not authorized for your account or iTunes will remove the protected content such as apps and lose any associated data. Simply deauthorize all, then immediately reauthorize the current computer.

What happens to library when uninstalling iTunes? Please!!

Silly question, I know...
But as I'm experiencing the same problem as everyone else after updating to I Tunes 6 (computer crash + ipod not recognized by itunes), I want to uninstall and reinstall it...
So, what happens to all my music files after I uninstall itunes?? Will they still be there after reinstall or lost forever??
Thanks for your answers.

I always wondered if my music would be gone if I uninstalled iTunes. It does not erase you're music.
This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
I went to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

What happened to the punchinpunchout app?

Only if you knew what company or individual made the app. You would have to contact them. If you don't know, I would suggest Restoring your device from a backup at a point where you had this app.
