iTunes mysteriously deleting Apps from iPhone when syncing
A short while ago I had a little issue when syncing my iPhone with iTunes.
All of a sudden iTunes started removing all my installed applications that I got from the iTunes Application store. It didn't even bother asking for confirmation or at least warning me, it just started deleting applications, settings and everything - even the backup was cleared.
Great!
After a while of desparation I figured out what caused it though:
Somehow my computer deauthenticated itself from the iTunes Music store but it apparantly thought it was still authenticated, so as a DRM-protective or whatever measure it just started removing everything. Awesome!
So I authorized it again, entered my Apple-ID's password and it finally decided to put all my apps back on - of course the settings were lost, but fair enough, it was just games anyway.
Lesson learnt. Hrmph.
