Why did I loose all my apps when I connected iPad to Mac?

Why did I loose all my apps from my iPad when I transferred my photos from my Mac?

Without knowing all of the information we can only guess .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync and sync again.
Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.

HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

HT5100 Why did I loose all my notes on my 'Notes' App? How can I retrieve them?

Please advice as to how I lost my notes stored in my 'Notes' App...how can I retrieve them?

How were they syncing before; were they in iCloud or maybe in one of your email accounts?

Why did I loose all photos in DVD project and see only broken chain symbol?

I opened my DVD project to see only broken chain symbols where previously I had thumbnail photo images. My previous work to nearly finish this project was gone! Then, today, I opened another DVD project, a larger one, that I'd worked on also this week, and found the same thing had happened to it! I have no idea what happened. Help!

Additional details: This is getting worse. Today, I see that ALL my existing DVD projects have lost photos and have only CHAINS. I get this message: "Assets have been found in your project which have been modified externally since this project was used the last time". Do you want to automatically update your project? To which lately I am answering- Cancel. Previously, in one case, I answered, "Update." WWWV
I can see this is very bad news, but I still don't know what happened.

Is there anyway to restore all photos, apps, etc onto an iPad using the most recent iCloud back up from an iPhone? I did a backup on my iPhone today but when I restored my iPad using that backup, only the photos in the photostream transferred to the iPad?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Updated Ipad now in recovery mode - why? If I restore to factory settings will I loose all my apps

I updated my Ipad and it wont turn on - it's now in recovery mode - why is this? If I do reset it to factory settings will I loose all my apps?

Something went wrong with the update and your iPad can not boot.
Yes, doing the required restore wipes all data.
Restore from your backup.

Backed up iPhone BUT iTunes did not copy all my apps!

My gosh, iTunes must be one of the most frustrating tools in the world.
From the screen area that states: Manually Back Up and Restore, I select Back Up Now.... this process oddly only needs about 1 minute to backup my iPhone (with about 160 apps on it).
When I look at the app list, there are still many apps missing, such as:
Any.Do (great to-do list app)
All my Synology Apps (for my SAN device)
etc.
BTW, why the heck isn't there an option to see the apps in folders - simulate the placement and folders of the iPhone?
Underneath this back up option is a Sync option... I tried this and it did something but I am unsearch what! All I know is that it did not help!
Never mind all that above... seriously, all I want to do is duplicate all my contents from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5. This should not be rocket science!
I think it should be an major embarrassment that something I can do between two Samsung Android phones is so friggen complicated between to iPhones! Yes, I have complained to Apple (this is my second iPhone trade-up) and never heard back from them the first time. That first time, I just ended up starting over! Grrr...
Anyway, enough rant.
I've gone to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109
...and selected, "Using iTunes to transfer information from your current iOS device to a new one"
Naturally, if I cannot successfully get past step 2, this isn't going to work.
Questions:
1. Can anyone please explain why I cannot backup all my apps and tell me how to fix this problem?
2. Can anyone suggest a better 3rd party backup and restore tool (for any price!)? I am sick of waiting for Apple's Windows iTune team to fix this inept tool! I don't mean to fight... but seriously, either this team has no budget or they are clueless to its serious shortcomings.
Sorry, I am just a little bit annoyed and expected better from Apple.

Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE. Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc. Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS. In that area click - Purchased
After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes. Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices.
Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased. You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone.
Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name. Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on.
Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in. Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.
The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

My daughter reset her Mac book Pro to the factory settings by her doing this did we loose all the pictures and stuff that was on the computer before

If by resetting to factory settings you mean she erased the drive and reinstalled the operating system, OS X, then yes all data thatwas on it is gone. That is why apple included time machine so you can make backups of your data.

If i don't use my backup with my new iphone do i loose all the apps i bought?

do i loose all the apps with my new iphone if i do noy=t restore the backup from an old one?

It it's a new iphone, you'd have to redownload all your apps from the itunes store (for free, assuming you use the same ID that was used when the apps were purchased). If you have a backup of the old iphone, then whatever it had will restore to the new one.

Hi have used iMac, want to update to Mavericks, so did I loose all programs if if I'm use different apple Id

so did I loose all programs if I'm use different apple Id with new Mavericks?

In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process.

I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files. When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error. What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

About 3 years old...pretty dated now I guess. Am thinking I may just need to have it upgraded by a Mac tech.
For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.
