Hi, my laptop was recently stolen, and now that I have a new computer I want to recover all the apps I purchased from the App Store, however only a handful of those were on my ipod touch. I have transfered all the apps i had on my ipod touch to the computer, now i want to recover the ones that weren't on the ipod but that I on my previous computer.
Any help would much appreciated.
P.S: I'm aware that I can redownload the apps but there's wayyy too many of them for me to want to download them individually.

Even though the iTunes terms of service says this rather harshly, "PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."
I'm moderately sure than you can call Apple Support, and work through it with them to have access somehow to all of your previous stuff. I know they don't do this in all cases, and like it says above they expect you to backup your stuff, but you can try. Here's the Apple Customer Service phone number: 1-800-676-2775
Good luck!
P.S. Get a free Box.net account or Dropbox account (using the link in my profile if you want, haha) and sync your iTunes stuff in the cloud so you never have to worry about it again.
