Lost all my applications, how to redownload purchased apps?

stanny · Jan 12, 2009, 12:23 PM

Lost all my applications because of format, how to re-download purchased apps? I tried syncing my iphone and it was wierd cause it started removing all my apps that were already in my iphone. After that was all done, I found out that I have lost all my apps on my iphone and my computer is blank as well so that doesn't help. How to redownload my purchased apps?

Just do it. It's free.

As long as you're using the same iTunes account you'll get the message that you've already purchased it and you can download it again for free.

Wish the iTunes music store worked the same....

You mean just go to each app manually and click buy app? They won't charge me again?

Great tip about re-downloding apps that were deleated. I bought a few apps that I didn't like but now I wish I has them but didn't want too pay twice. Thanks for the tip.

I want to KISS you all!

Okay maybe not but...

When I upgraded my iTunes to version 10 it somehow made my iPhone go back to the middle of June and everything I bought since then was LOST.

I got TWO big iTunes gift cards on 6/29 and went crazy buying all the apps I wanted for the thing and they were GONE.

I had NO idea all you had to do was just re-download and it wouldn't charge you for the trouble.

FAN-TAS-TIC.

Thanks all for this GREAT tip!

Yes, view your receipts in iTunes (under 'My Account' or something, easy to find).

Then check the purchashed apps button, all will be there and can be synced.

Enjoy

You can do this on your phone. It is not obvious where.
Go to App Store.
Go to updates at the bottom
Now click on purchased
You should now see a list of all purchased apps
You can also filter just the ones "not on this phone"
