Why doesn't iTunes back up actual Apps from phone?
Lost many frequently used iOS 4.2.1 Apps after a full restore to unlock my 3G. Backed up phone right before restore but when it came to restoring apps, iTunes insited on trying to restore from updated (post 4.2.1) versions of the apps rather than what was on the phone when I backed it up. Great for planned obsolescence but bloody awful if you were perfectly happy with your fully serviceable 3G.
How do I get my Apps back? Especially expensive Tomtom app, Skype for 4.2.1, iBooks
You can download them from your past purchases.
Open the App Store
Tap on the "Updates" tab in the bottom right corner
Tap "Purchased" at the top of the list
This should show you all the purchased apps. Search for the ones that you want to downlaod and tap on the cloud icon. It might be easier to find if you also tap "Not on This iPhone" at the top.
I hope this helps!

Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?
Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library? I copied these files to my iMac from an old PC laptop that no longer has internet access.
After downloading via iTunes, I move MP3 files from the default iTunes podcast folder to another folder (on an a external disk), I also change the name of the file and I change some MP3-tags.
You download from the iTunes store, delete the podcast, mess with it, move it around, rename it, change the tags then try to add it back to iTunes?
I want all my files in one index, the iTunes Music Library
In iTunes, right click - get info, click the Options tab and set *Media Kind:* to Music. -
Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?
Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?
thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
Thank you -
Why doesn't the Southwest Airlines DING app work on my iPhone or iPad? It used to work on my mac computer, but no more. Are they shutting it down, or just not issuing many special fares?
Ask Southwest Airlines... it's their app.

Hi i dont know why i couldnt able to purchase any apps from apple store or in itunes store using my debit card with which i used to buy before ?
I don't know why but I suspect you are located in the Indian sub continent. Debit cards appear to be a problem here and while many are accepted in other countries, India seems to be an exception. Go to ...

Why doesn't Apple develop a "Killer App" like Android
Why doesn't Apple develop a "Killer App" like Android to remove all apps with one touch rather than having to hit the "minus" on each app for removal?
If you think this is a "Killer App/Feature", tell Apple:

Why doesn't my computer download the songs from my iphone with clouds next to them?
You can copy iTunes purchased songs over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or have you tried going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and seeing if you can redownload them on your computer ?

My i phone 4 got locked by my small sister plus my laptop was formatted i dont have itunes back up to unlock thei phone what should i do i am puzzeled?? i tried passcode it says i phone is disabled .. some one help please
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/20025416 - "A restore erases the iPod. If you restore from backup the iPod will be like it was IF the iTunes library includeds [sic] all the synced media like apps and music since those are not included in the backup.")
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:
DFU mode: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

I bought a iPhone 6 yesterday and I restored my iPhone 6 from my iTunes back up. After my phone restored from back up. When I plug my iPhone 6 it's still saying my iPhone 6 is new and still giving me the restore from a back up or set as a new iPhone option. But I already have it restored. How come it's not giving me any option to cancel.
Click set up as a new iPhone. It will associate the device with your library without clearing the content that you have already loaded onto it.

why when I want to buy the app from the app store vysvechivaetsya it-your purchase can not be zovershena?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I'm unable to download apps from phone when I got into App Store, it asks for my password but never downloads, I have to hook up to computer to download apps to my phone
Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on? After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds. Then try your App Download again. If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.

I edit my playlists using my iPhone. How do I set up iTunes to update my playlists from phone to computer?
Are you referring to the password for your email account? If so, recovery of that password would be dependent on your email provider. Normally they have a web based access for email, check there and see if there is a "forgot password" link.
