Ok, so last week I've purchased the January App Upgrade onto my MBP,
which upgraded my iPT with no problem. However, I had to re-install Leopard
(yes, erased my hdd) for some reasons as well as restoring my iPT.

After a long clean up on my MBP, I've updated my iTunes to 7.6 again, clicked
restore for my iPT, then it downloaded the 1.1.3 firmware. BUT! since then,
I haven't been able to download my apps.

I've read that the iTunes downloads a small file as you purchase the apps and
I think that's where the problem is, since I've re-installed Leopard. I've thought
of purchasing the Jan App again (because it keeps telling me to buy when I
connect my iPT) and claim a refund on the first one.

Is this a bug? Or, is it my fault for not knowing this would happen if I erase
my HDD?

What would you guys suggest?
Thanks for reading this post

What in the world caused you to need to completely erase your hdd?
What sort of error messages popped up?

The best solution is to email Apple, tell them your situation, every detail, and they will either refund you, or allow you to download the apps.

Yeah, call or write Apple, all I can really suggest for you. That sucks...
