Hi,
I currently had a virus in my computer and thus i had to Format it. During this i lost all the data of Syncs and Apps and stuff.
When i click on the "Sync Apps" in my iPhone Tab. The Preview on the right changes from my apps to No Apps except for bookmarks. What i want to do is keep all the Apps as they are currently and want to get all the Apps which i have bought during the purchase of my iPhone on the list on the left, as my Apple Account records what i buy, i should some how get the apps back on the list which should include me downloading them again.

Thanks,
Badd.
 
You re-download the apps. Since you've already purchased them, you'll be able to re-download for free.
Don't you have any backups that are separate from your main HD? For example, an external drive?

I know they are on my phone, becuase i formatted my computer all the app purchases from iTunes have disappeared.... all of the purchases are still on the phone, but how do i transfer ALL the free and paid apps i have downloaded to iTunes?

Connect your iPhone to iTunes, cancel the sync, and then where it shows your iPhone in the pane on the left-hand side, right click and select 'Transfer Purchases'.

What if i want to transfer ALL the apps i have previously purchased, in the past? which have been deleted from the phone?
Edit: the purchases must have been recorded so, can i transfers all of them this way?
