After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I apparently am not "Cloud Literate," But I did figure it out before I read your post. Thanks for your help. I'm pushing 70, so maybe you'll understand.
OK, so I have to go to each one and get it to download from the Cloud. That's ugly! Thanks for everybody's help. I figured out how to redownload them Tedious, but at least doable.
What upsets me is that I did do a backup yesterday of all the current apps. Really, really frustrating. Do I have to repurchase all of them--not going to happen.
I even clicked on "Not on this iPhone" and every one came up. So the app store knows there are no purchased apps on this phone, but it doesn't tell me how to get them.
Apps still missing
I went to the app store and clicked updates. I was told my apps are all up to date. But they still don't appear on my phone! So frustrating.
Missing apps
I had difficulty setting up the Wi-fi so I had to set up with ITunes. (Wi-Fi was my own fault. I forgot that our router only permits certain MAC addresses to use the network. I forgot about that at first.) That's what the VZ tech told me to use iTunes. Notes, etc. backed up...
Does anyone know how to restore my apps from my iPhone 4? I backed up everything to the Cloud yesterday before I activated the IP5. My contacts and notes synced just fine, but where are my apps? Really appreciate the help.
