techie question Very Happy

I've bought all my apps from a store - not through iTunes, but it came in a package deal from the store I bought my phone in. Basically they had a whole bunch of paid apps installed in their computer, plugged in my phone, and downloaded all their apps into my device (this is not any jailbreaking process, and my phone is not jailbroken). It works fine, and all, but I can't transfer any of them into my iTunes, as my iTunes store account was not the one used to download these apps, hence I am not authorized to transfer these apps into my computer.

But now I want to upgrade to iOS 5, and apparently it will wipe my phone clean of apps (so it says in the various warnings that pop up). Is there any way (a software perhaps) that will allow me to store all these pre-bought apps into my computer, let me download iOS 5, and put them back in? It would be a shame to lose all of them.

Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
3 suggestions:

1) Try going to your iPhone folder when plugged in and go to the directory: Folder/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ and see if you can copy/paste them onto your desktop, and then either into itunes or into your iphone folder after you update, with the same directory

2) if you have 2 computers you can try this here, but reading through it I'm not sure it would work because it makes it seem like you need to have bought the app first. Worth trying though, I guess

3. Go back to the store and see if they can do anything for you there

If they smoke, you could get him a zippo engraved with the date you started dating or something?
Depending on how serious you guys are or you see you guys being.
One of my friends does that gift a lot anyway.
Hmm, all I can think of are things you guys might bond over. Even just something that made you think of him.
It's the thought that counts. (:

You can never fail with clothes. A few nice t shirts isn't too serious or too expensive and it's something he'll obviously like. ( who doesn't like new clothes Wink )

Recently I've been interested in "Levels of fandom,"(not necessarily just with music and bands.) The best outline I've found so far is : this But has anyone else found something similar or better? Should I start a thread to discuss it?

Every picture I try to upload for my avatar, it says it's too big. I've tried over 100 pictures and still it says that about every picture.
Why is it doing this for all my pictures?

because it's too big...max size is 100pixels by 100pixels, and 20kb. Try resizing.

If someone gets banned from INO, what are they banned from? The entire site, or just the forums?

So I was wandering around StumbleUpon and came across this picture.

I fell in love with that hair color.
Any thoughts/advice on how to get it? My hair's a medium brown color. Any help is appreciated. (:

I'm going to be planning a trip across a few counties in Europe in the summer, and as I've never done anything like this before I've been looking for a website or something that will help me plan my journey.
However, the only ones that I can find that allow me to do this are American, and as I would be starting from Scotland, they aren't really helpful and don't give me an accurate price guide.

Does anyone know of a good website or something similar that I could use?

You need a red hair dye but one with some purple undertones. My suggestion would be to print out the picture or save it on your phone and go to a supplies shop like Sally's and ask their advice. Or do the same with your hairdresser.
