    Hey Guys
    I did a full restore of my computer today due to a virus.
    So after I redownloaded itunes and tried to sync my ipod it wouldnt put the new game on that I had purchased since the restore.
    I clicked something that removed all of my apps, and put on only the newest one. There is no way I lost all of my apps is there? What can I do to get them back. Checking for available downloads didnt give me anything...
    Thanks in advance for help.
    -Josh

    I think checking for available downloads only finds stuff that you bought but didn't download yet.
    Your apps you would have downloaded already.
    iono if you can do anything other than redownload them all..?

    you can redownload them individuall from itunes if u must. Alternatively, it seems like you could restore from your last backup and start from there.

    What ever email address u signed up with. when ur signing up for itunes. It keeps track of every game every app. so u should check that email.

    But does itunes still have a backup if I restored my computer and it deleted everything?

    Doubtful. If you can remember all your games, then just re-download them like arn said, just make sure you use the same e-mail.

    You'd still have to redownload all the apps though before you can reinstall them
    But the backup won't be there if everything got deleted from your computer..

    You can redownload them all for free on the same account. You wi just lose your data.

    Hi,


    I get the impression you were going for humor with this comment but was it necessary?
