Why did apps disappear after connecting to iMac?

I connected my iPad to my iMac for the first time and several downloaded apps disappeared.  Where did they go and how can I keep it from happening again?
Thanks in advance.

In order to prevent it - when you connect the iPad to the Mac - Transfer Purchases first before syncing - but turn auto sync off so that this will work without issue.
iTunes >Preferences>Devices> check the box at the bottom that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones .....from automatically syncing" click OK, and quit iTunes.
Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side under "Devices" and select - Transfer Purchases. All purchased content will transfer into iTunes on the Mac. Now you can go into the Apps tab, make sure that those apps show up and have been selected to sync. Check all content of you liken all tabs. Sync when you are ready. If you make changes, click on Apply in the lower right corner to apply the changes.
You can download the apps again for free if you use the same ID that you bought them with. Use the purchased Tab in the App Store to find the apps.

  • Why did contacts disappear after backup

    I backed up the ipad, and after that, all of the contacts were gone.  They are still there, because if you start to type a name in mail, the address automatically completes.  But you cannot see the contacts in the contact list.
    How can they be restored to be viewable?

    This is the mail app remembering addresses and it has nothing to do with your contacts in the contacts app. This works independently of the contacts app.
    If you backed up the iPad and the contacts disappeared, that's not a good thing because the way that you retrieve the contacts is to restore from a backup.

  • Why did ringtones disappear after iOS 8

    uupgraded to iOS 8.1 & all of my purchased ringtone / text tones have disappeared. I purchased a few again & a few hours later & they are gone

    I have the same issues, and it has happened twice. When I upgraded to IOS8 on my old iPhone 5, I DID NOT lose my purchased tones. When I purchase a new iPhone 6, none of my Tones transferred from my iPhone 5 backup, not only that, when iTunes upgraded to be compatible with IOS 8 and Yosemite, I lost all of my Tones I purchased under IOS 7.X and the old iTunes. When I upgraded to IOS 8.1, they were lost again. So I purchased some more and lost them as well. I see the Tones in iTunes, but I cannot get them to copy to my iPhone. I'm getting pretty sick of loosing my tones. At $1.29 a pop, the costs start to add up after a while

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • Camera service has disappeared on my ipad 2, how do I find it and why did it disappear?

    My camera icon is still visible but when I click on it, the service (take pictures) has disappeared, how come? where or how do I find it? why did it disappear?

    It should be 'on' - if it was 'off' then the app woud be hidden and you wouldn't be able to access the app from your homescreen.
    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why did edit disappear on latest update on my iPad mini ?

    Why did edit disappear on my iPad mini after the later os update?

    That depends on how it is configured in the app, PJL. You can set it up to include the trash icon and go directly to Trash. Both my gmail and icloud accounts are set up that way.

      I installed this same digitizer in my T|X some weeks ago.  Some discussion of my experience may be found in this Usenet posting and subsequent thread.
      The stock digitizer in my T|X had always had some significant alignment issues (for which PowerDigi was able to compensate very nicely) and sensitivity which was uneven, but which usually required a heavier touch than I liked.
      Eventually, it began to develop a “dead spot” near the upper left.  My T|X was under warranty, so I probably ought to have sent it in to Palm to be repaired, but I wasn't willing to be without it for the required amount of time, and I've heard enough reports of other T|X owners getting unsatisfactory results this way.  I'd heard enough good reports about the PDAPARTS.COm digitizer, that I decided that the only acceptable way to repair my T|X would be to install one of those.
      After however many weeks it has been, I am still very pleased with the results.  It continues to work flawlessly; it is much more sensitive, so it doesn't require nearly so heavy a touch, and I very much like the hard feel that it has, compared to the spongier feel of the stock digitizer.
      My wife's T|X still has its stock digitizer, and it has so far not shown any of the same problems that mine did, or for which the T|X has become notorious, but the feel is noticeably inferior.  She's content with it the way it is, but I think that if I were to ever buy another T|X for myself, I wouldn't wait for the stock digitizer to fail.  The PDAPARTS.COM digitizer is simply superior in every imaginable way; and, in my opinion, a T|X with the PDAPARTS.COM digitizer installed is sufficiently superior to one with the stock digitizer (even if it isn't defective) to be very much worth the expense and trouble of installing it.

  • Help! Why did everything disappear?

    I was changing the fill on a shape I drew on a new layer, when suddenly everything I had done before disappeared and I now have only one layer with one frame.  What happened??  And can I get everything back?  I had a layer with a static photo, a layer with a symbol and simple motion tween (swoop in from left), and a third layer I was working on.  There were 36 frames in the file.  Now, Layer 1 (with one frame) has the photo and the shape showing.  I've been all over the forums and support looking for a clue.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!!

    Hi Matt!
    Thank you so much for replying to my question ‹ I¹ll be able to go back to
    my Flash project later this evening, and I¹ll be able to answer these
    questions.  Is there some reason that two or three layers would disappear
    and only Layer 1 would remain?  Is there a ³flatten² type command like in
    Photoshop?  Thanks again!

    Subject: Help! Why did everything disappear?
    Were you working on the tween inside of an object?  It sounds like you have
    an object that has 36 frame that's sitting on frame 1 of the timeline.  Whe
    n you were manipulating your tween, or shape, or whatever on layer 3, you
    clicked out of your object and are just looking at your main timeline.
    If you deleted the graphic object, you may have deleted the work you did...
    Can you name the files in your library, the type of object they are, and a
    description of what each object contains?

  • Why mouse arrow disappears after I upgraded to osx Mavericks

    why mouse arrow disappears after I upgraded to osx Mavericks-==

    After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov.... Why? Is there a way to stop that or to change the settings?
    Your question requires more information. What does MPEG-4 mean to you? What file container and which compression formats are you referring to here? Is the MPEG-4 content "standard" or proprietary. Basically, depending on the file container and the specific content, QT X v10.3 may initiate a conversion ever where the individual data tracks are fully QT compatible. Proprietary compression formats will definitely do this. In some cases, the audio or video in one source container may simply be passed through to the MOV file while in another source container, QT X v10.3 forces a conversion of that same data track. In short, there are too many variables at this point to properly answer your question or attempt to duplicate your workflow.

  • All newly installed apps disappear after the installation is done?

    My problem started a few days ago. I install a new app from the app store and it shows up as loading on the home screen. As soon as the installation is done the icon simply disappears. Finder cannot locate it and the store shows the OPEN button, but it does nothing when pressed.I tried settings/general/usage/storage and the missing apps are there but the name of the missing apps does not show. I only see the icon and the size. I can delete the apps from there but reinstalling them does not help.

    Unfortunately that did not help. It seems that there is a limit on the number of apps that can be shown on the home screen. I have close to 200 apps installed, and they are organized in folders on the home screen (3 pages). I must have hit the limit for apps in the home screen. I can install new apps, but they will not show up. If i delete one of the old apps then install a new one it will show on the home screen. I believe when the count gets to 189 then the next one (#190) will disappear after installation.

  • App disappeared after system upgrade

    After a system upgrade one of my apps disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Easiest thing is to load your backup
    Beyond that a lot more information is needed and it may be difficult and/or expensive - which is of cousre why you always have a backup and especially before doing any upgrades or updates - if you do not you are 100% guarenteed to lose your photos and other files sooner or later

  • Apps disappeared after restored new iphone 4 from back up

    I just restored my new iphone 4 from my last 3GS back up, and all of my apps are gone! The folders I created are there, as is my 'wallpaper' and my address book, but none of my old apps.
    I had to transfer the back up file (which took FOREVER) from my Mac to my PC laptop, because my Mac is running 10.4.11 and therefore work work with iphone 4. Updating the Mac to 10.6 is not an option b/c it's got a powerpc processor, and rather than shell out 125 bones for Leopard, I am going to replace the Mac (when I can afford to do so).
    So does anyone have any idea why my apps didn't make it onto the new phone? Does it have to do with the fact that the phone was synced with the itunes library on my Mac? I will need to sync it to the Itunes library on the PC from now on(which is empty at the moment). Itunes asked if I wanted to sync it with this new library, but seems to suggest that doing that would wipe the phone. I can usually find the guidance I need through a search, but as my situation is a little complicated, I've been unable to find anything related to my specific problem. Any advice about how to rescue my apps would be most appreciated.

    I just had this happen yesterday! Ggggggrrrrr. I was trying to update a couple apps on my iPhone 4, and a message kept popping up saying “Can’t connect to iTunes”. After about 3 tries I thought maybe I just needed to reboot the phone.
    After the reboot and my iPhone turned back on, there were no more folders (except for one labeled ‘Utilities’ with about 4 apps in it on my home screen), and I had 11 pages of apps!
    All my apps were not visible because I have more than can fit on 11 pages, so I had to wait until I got home and synced with iTunes, then all my apps were visible.
    I had to manually recreate all my folders. I certainly hope Apple fixes this bug before it happens again – it’s beyond annoying!!
