Missing apps in itunes

[icedbullet]

Hello

I recently got a replacement ipod touch. I did all the recommended backing up of my old ipod but when I went to reload the backup onto the brand new ipod replacement it loaded my settings ok (email, passwords, bookmarks) but 90% of my apps were missing. I checked on itunes and the little exclamation mark is next to those missing apps, when I go to locate them it says they are missing.

I know I can redownload them again by going down the list and manually doing it from my ipod touch, but I wanted to know if there was a simpler way to redownload these apps using itunes to avoid this happening again? Also can I actually redownload the apps from itunes without paying for them again?

You can download the apps through iTunes, just search on the store and get them again. It will look as though there's going to be a charge but in fact you'll get a message pop up saying that you've already downloaded them so there will be no cost involved. You only pay for apps once (providing you're logged into iTunes with the same account as before).

Thanks a lot feek I'm redownloading them right now. I thought I was going to have to pay again, they really should do something about their notifications.

If I download an app to my iPod touch does that mean it doesn't automatically back up that app to my itunes?

Aside from going through the emails I get sent from iTunes is there anywhere that I can get a list of all the bought apps?

In iTunes sign in to your account in top left. Then click 'View Account'

If you are thrown back to the iTunes Store homepage then click 'Account' in top right.

From there there is a link to 'Purchase History' which details all app purchases for that account.
