Ok well when the January update first came out I bought it and just today i had to restore my ipod and now the January update apps don't show anymore and I was checking in to see what is going on?
Did you erase the contents of your C:\Documents And Settings\ folder when you restored your PC? If so, and if you don't have a backup, then you'll have to negotiate with an iTunes customer support representative to get permission to download the JSU a second time. At the moment that may be difficult because apparently the JSU has recently been pulled from distribution.Im in the same boat. Just restored my touch and two things happen.
1. I lost my jan updates (i have recently restored my pc)
They've also changed their copyright rules recently, and nothing can be re-downloaded regardless of the reason. This is why we backup, boys and girls.Did you erase the contents of your C:\Documents And Settings\ folder when you restored your PC?

Well, that's probably because they made the upgrade and they can distribute it however they want. I guess that everything else on iTunes will be affected by the new policy, though. This is the exception since it's made by the company distributing it.Back when I first lost access to the JSU, I had a recent backup of all my music, but I hadn't kept a copy of the JSU.
At that time, the iTunes support website already stated very clearly that they had a policy of not allowing purchased content files to be downloaded a second time, and that backups or re-purchasing were the only two options.
This was a very bad thing with regards to the JSU because, at the time, it was only possible to ask to purchase the JSU once. If you attempted to pay for the JSU a second time, you couldn't get past an error message saying that you'd already bought it, therefore there was no need to buy it again. (There is no such error message when you attempt to re-purchase music.)
It's an even worse thing right now due to the fact that, as noted, the JSU doesn't appear to be available for purchase at all anymore.
Notwisthstanding that published policy, they were still accommodating to me at the time, and allowed me to download the JSU a second time.
