Hi,

In the process of deleting all my music on my MAC I have also deleted all of my apps. I didn't realise until I synced my iPhone and had just the standard apps on there.

Is there anyway I can get them back or do I have to purchase them all again?

Thanks
Ben
 
No they're definitely all gone and as it trys to locate them but nothing is there.

I didn't realise you can download them again, bit of a pain but at least I'm not losing money just time.

Thanks for you help.
 
You Should Be Able To Get Them back If They're Still In A .Trash Folder (Usually Hidden)

Computers Don't Normally Erase Things From The Drive When You "Delete" Them, Rather Mark Them As Available To Write Over So The Old Information Is Interpreted As Free Space

MY RECCOMMENDATION:

Request A Demo Copy Of:

Data Rescue 3
(google It)

Disk Doctors
(http://www.diskdoctors.net/mac-data-recovery/software.html)

I Hope This Helps! If You Have Questions Ill be Following This Thread!

I don't think thats possible i swear they updated the policy on app downloads and even if you've purchased something you have to buy it again if you lose it

Nope, I deleted an app off my library in Sept 09......just DL'd it again Tuesday this week for free. I always get the warning, "you've already purchased this app, to download again for free..."

So you can DL it for free. again, and again and again
 
Why were you deleting all your music? Moving it to another drive? Are the Apps in the new location?
