Where are my apps in iTunes?

This week, I upgraded to a 3GS, then downgraded to a 3G again when my purchase revealed that the problem with the 3G was a trivial software setting issue, not a hardware problem. THe 3G is running fine, and I'm happy to have it back again.
However. I have six screens of iPhone apps on my iPhone, but, when I open iTunes now, I only have the app I bought today. I can't sync the apps, because that'll wipe the apps off my phone and replace them with the single new app.
What do I do? Do I really have to go through my purchase history and redownload the apps one by one?
Thanks in advance,
J.

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.
When your phone appears in iTunes, use the File menu -> Transfer purchases from ...

    Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
    Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    And then restore from backup.
    Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten.

    Where are film downloaded from iTunes stored on an iPad?

    They should be in the Videos app :
    If they don't show in there then are they hidden by a film age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?

         I'm running windows XP and seem to have found a partial solution that does not involve vague half assed directions =P
    Open iTunes, go to file, import, and select the latest "Temp" file, I got most of my playlists and songs back that way.
    Edit: This file is in the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes folder

  • Where are an apps file permissions stored?

    I have a LOB app that needs to access an internal network update servers Windows Share. However for that to work, the user has to first give permission via the file picker to that folder. That is inconvenient in a LOB scenario. Therefore I would like to
    know if there is a way to mark certain folders accessible for an app via Group Policy or Regsistry key? Where are the apps permissions saved (and is the format open?) and could these permissions be modified by a plain old Win32 desktop app (running on an admin
    account).

    Hi Phil,
    The Publishing Windows Store apps forum is for help with publishing your app to the Windows Store.
    For help with enterprise configuration and deployment please post in the Windows 8.1 IT Pro forums on TechNet. For help with desktop development questions please post in the Windows Desktop Development forums.
    Windows Store apps use the standard Windows security system with permissions are controlled by ACLs on the file objects. Breaking the app out of its app container by granting it access to new locations is not recommended or supported and may reduce
    the security of the system.
    The right way for an enterprise app to break out of the app container is to write a
    Brokered Windows Runtime Components for side-loaded Windows Store apps . This will allow the Windows Runtime app to call a component outside of its app container which can then call desktop API on the Runtime app's behalf.
    Your app could hand the data files to the brokered Windows Runtime Component which could then drop it on the share. This wouldn't require either user interaction or reducing the security on the share.

  • Where are my apps in the new itunes version?

    I cannot find any of my apps on the new itunes version that I downloaded, I can only see what apps I currently have on my phone, but where are all of my previously purchased/downloaded apps?

    In iTunes, do View - Sidebar.
    Then click apps on left column

  • Where are my apps in the new iTunes?

    Where are they? When I connect my iPad it does'nt show up. How do I update apps if I can't find them.

    In the upper left corner is a drop-down menu. There you can select the apps. To check for updates you have to use the button in the lower right corner.

  • Where are my apps?

    I stupidly changed my password for my iPhone 4S 16GB using ios 7.0.4 but then forgot it! Luckily I restored it using my computer so it's now got the same password and wallpaper as when i last backed it up so at the end of restore I pressed the thing that makes it go back to the way it was but as I told you earlier it only gave my old password, wallpaper, my music, my photos, reminders everything on the apps from apple and the apple apps tht you cant delete! Where are all of my other apps which were bought from app store? I tried syncing but then it just says ...
    " The iPhone “Gemma's iPhone” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 398.7 MB required)."
    I understand that but right now I have none of my apps that were bought from the app store! How do I get them back?
    P.S if you know how to lower down that MB so that I can sync please tell!

    Your downloaded applications should show up towards the bottom of your main application screen.
    Use your finger to scroll down. Tap and drag the screen up.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where are the App-signs for youtube, safari and appStore?

    After updating to itunes 10 the app-signs for youtube, safari and appstore disappeared from the main menu on my ipod touch 3G (also updated). Where can I get them again?

    Those are native apps and can't be deleted. Can you find them using the search function (left most Home screen). You can hide the YouTube and Safari apps in Settings>General>Restrictions but not for the App Store.
    Have you reset you iPod?

    Is there any other software on the planet that requires this?????  I updated my firefox software a few weeks ago, got no message that bookmarks needed to be saved elsewhere prior to update, so I didn't back them up.  Guess what happened after the update...ALL MY BOOKMARKS WERE STILL THERE!!!
    I can't believe that it was not stated more clearly that everything has to be backed up prior to a simple software update!!
    Some of the apps were on my itunes, but none of the content nor the settings...so I'm basically starting from scratch.  All this for an update that is probably doesn't change anything anyway.
    I maintain my initial message to anyone considering updating their apple device:
    CAUTION!!!! CAUTION!!!!!
    WHEN YOU GET A MESSAGE THAT YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR APPLE DEVICE, SKIP IT UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ON IT AND START FROM SCRATCH.
    All of your apps and other content should still be in your iTunes library from when you last synched your iPad. You may need to re-check under each tab to make sure that the content synchs again after the update. As I understand it, the update basically reformats the device.  The content *should* have been restored after the process was complete, but even if it wasn't, you still have not lost it.  It's on your computer, waiting to be re-synched. 
    Even if your apps somehow were lost from your computer, you can always re-download them for free from iTunes, just as you can for iTunes music. But I doubt that you have lost any content from your computer.

  • Where are my Apps from the cloud on iMac?

    My son just got an iPod and I wanted to try to download my apps that are in the cloud to my IMac so the he can put them on his iPod.  BUT, when I hook up my phone like to sync and select APPs, I only see the Apps currently on my phone.  I can not see all the APPs in the cloud?
    Help....

    Where are you looking ? The Apps part of your Mac's iTunes library will only show the apps that you have on your Mac - unlike the Music, Movies and TV Shows part of your library the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) doesn't appear to work for apps.
    You can redownload apps (if they are still in your country's store) on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
    Or you can copy the apps that you have on your phone back from it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that only copies the apps, not their content).

  • Where are my downloads? iTunes unavailable?

    I bought 40 songs in iTunes, however, I couldn't download the songs (well, i got the invoice, yes, but where are my songs?) I get the error message "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later". I have tried now for a few days. Any idea how to proceed? Thanks

  • Where are my apps for my iPad?

    Admittedly it has been quite awhile since I synched my iPad and iPod but I updated my iMac. Now iTunes no longer will update my iOS devices. It does not show any of my apps or other items to update. It does show that my iPad is connected and needs to update the iOS system, and it shows all the songs but that is all.
    So it may sound like I am an idiot, but how do I update the rest of the items on my iPad? There is a mention about using LaunchPad, but LP does not list any of my apps so that is a non-starter.

    Does this mean you purchased a new Mac?
    Or you simply updated the OS?
    Apple menu > Software update.
    It does show that my iPad is connected and needs to update the iOS system, and it shows all the songs but that is all.
    Then select the iPad and click Check for Update.
    So it may sound like I am an idiot, but how do I update the rest of the items on my iPad?
    Syncing th iPad with iTunes will update the apps to what you have i iTunes.
    To update the apps in iTunes. select Apps then click Updates and click Update all apps.
    Or on the iPad directly, open the App store and click Updates then Update all.
    Launchpad has nothing to do with the iPad or iTunes.

  • Where are installed apps kept on iphone 4?

    I recently installed a TD Bank app that allows me to do online banking.  I can never seem to be able to find it without a great deal of searching.  How and where should this app show up on my phone?
    Thanks for your assistance.

    It should be on one of the home screens or in a folder.
    You can put it wherever you like.

  • How can I find where to update apps on itunes off my mac. I am currently using version 11.1 (126).

    I used to be able to go to apps and then just click update all or I could click update next to the individual app. Can someone please help me find how/where I can update apps. I know that there are apps that need to be updated but I cant do it off my iPhone/iPad because of size of the apps.
    Thanks in advance for any help
