Why did I lose my apps?

I went to another country to visit family. One second I was listening to music, and then decided to play with an app, and I realized ALL my apps were gone. But all my music is still there! What gives?
I have the iPhone4

Were they there after your last sync?

    Why did I lose my apps on my iPhone after I update to IOS 6?

    I would guess that it is because you failed to make sure that they were all on your computer before you updated.

  • Why did i lose my apps and data after syncing to another new computer? i clicked transfer but only transfered part of the apps?

    Okay basically i had 166 apps in my ipod...
    After i bought new laptop and wanted to sync into it, it said to transfer apps from ipod touch to laptop, i did, but it only transferred part of it and said the remaining was not able to be transfered...
    i had encountered this problem when i transfered the apps in my old pc to my old laptop, now that i wan to transfer apps from my old laptop to my new one, i thought i knew what to do..
    i knew the problem was with the fact that the other apps was bought with another apple id thus not able to transfer as it is not yet authorised... while it was syncing, i authorised the older apple id that the apps was not synced yet... after i did, i realised i was left with the apps bought with my new apple id only...
    then i realised i lost all my data on my older apps, like the privacy photo app which had memories of my photos stored in it.. tap tap 4 all my songs in it... and 70 other apps..
    What happened? this did not happen in my previous attempt during my transfer of apps from old pc to old laptop... so why?
    its really really sad... all my data was lost, i got back the apps though.. but data in it all LOST...
    what to do? can i still retrieve it back?

    - Try redownling the apps by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The computer has to be authorized and signed into the account that originaly purchased them.
    - When all the apps are ih the iTunes library, try restoring from backup if you have the backup that would contain all the app date. I would turn off autosyncing (go to iTunes>Prefernces>Device and check the box titled Prevent iPods...automatically" to prevent overwritting the previous backup.

  • Why did I lose my apps when I synced with my laptop?

    as per above

    Thanks for the responses thus far. Some more details:
    - It was the laptop I synced with the first time I loaded the iPad with music... but that was several months ago and I have not synced since
    - the iTunes account is the same (I think) on both of them (but am having trouble checking - is there an easy way? in "General" I cannot find it)
    - all apps were purchased with my account; now all are gone, including The Economist, Figaro, a few kids games, ...even the iBook reader!
    any ideas? I can re-install everything, not a big deal, but it is a real pain if this keeps happening!
    thanks in advance for any ideas

  • Why did I lose my apps after upgrading iOS5

    Hardware: iPhone 4
    Problem: Upgraded my iOS on my phone to iOS 5... lost all my apps.
                   Apps still show up in iTunes.
                   Can NOT drag and drops Apps to "re-install" on my iPhone
                   CAN "re-install" apps from my iPhone via the App Store
    Bigger Problem:
                             Does iTunes not have functionality to "drag and drop" and install apps to a device? 
    I really don't want to go through the effort of having to select each app via the app store... I thought Apple was smarter?

    Go through each tab and select what content to sync.

  • Why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    Because ipod touch will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another wil erase the current content.
    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    You can redownload apps:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • When I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 I lost all my Bookmarks. I went back to using the older version and get the message that it is no longer supported or covered by virus protection. Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

    why did i lose my contacts after IOS 8.1.1 update?

        @cstigall - Were you able to get your contacts reversed? Sometimes that happens when you share or are logged in to the wrong Apple ID as Gina suggested.
    If you need further assistance, please let us know so we can help out!
    Thank you both, and take care!

  • 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.

  • Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers? I didnt need a new version. Ive been printing out the same handouts for 8 years

    Why did I lose my old documents on Pages and Numbers when I updated my computer. I didnt need a new version. I have been using the same hand outs for 8 years. Some I can see, some say you cant open unless you buy numbers.....again

    The old version of iWork should still be on your computer.
    Check in Applications (Command-Shift-A) for an iWork '09 folder.

  • Why did I lose all of my docs in pages?

    why did I lose all of my documents in Pages?

    I'm being "snarky" for asking you to actually provide some information?
    Don't be so self obsessed as to imagine that we are constantly looking over your shoulder at what you are doing.
    All we have to go on is what you choose to tell us. If you choose not to, what do you expect?
    You are not alone in the childish "Mom, I can't find it!?" style questions. It gets wearisome playing 20 questions to just get to the point where you have a comprehendable question.
    We still don't know what version of Pages.
    Saved documents don't live in Pages, they are on your hard drive, on a server or some other device.
    "ALL" your documents is comprehensive. So you have no documents of any description left on your Mac (now that we know it is a Mac) or anywhere else?
    AS Peggy pointed out, if you never saved the document, it is gone.
    We are still struggling to find out what you are talking about.

  • Why did I lose my movies i purchesed ?

    I got a message for an update for my Itunes, I downloaded the update, and lost 4 movies i paied for, Why did I lose my movies? How do i get them back on to my computer?

    I would guess that you lost them because you failed to do the basics.  It has always been very basic to always back up your computer, most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store - Support - Apple
