    I purchased the Sims 3 for my daughters new itouch. Downloaded and played it. After I added some more songs to her itouch from itunes, the game disappeard. She only has 2 pages on the screen. I can't find it anywhere.

    Have you tried re-syncing with your iTunes desktop?

    If that doesn't work, you may want to look at the Apps section (with your iTouch connected to the computer) and do a search for "Sims 3" and make sure it is checked. Then, sync up.

    Have you tried connecting to iTunes again, going to the app tab on the touch interface. From there select the select apps check box; then , scroll down and select Sims 3 from your list and hit sync.

    If that doesn't work, you can always download it again for free directly from the touch or iTunes. It will look like you are going to purchase it again, but then you will get a download again for free message.

    Good luck & and welcome to touch arcade!!!

    A mod might be moving your thread to general game discussions.

    Did you purchase via the iPod Touch and not have the purchases transfer to iTunes on the computer? Was it using the same authorized account?

    Sorry, as you can see there are a myriad of reasons why this might have happened - including the old disappearing app trick that has plagued many a member with no explanation at all!

    you can re-download it for free on the iPod itsself. It will still say buy and stuff but a pop up will say you have alreadly downloaded this app and are redownloading it for free

    haha. I like your sig. (even though I'm a Yankees fan)

    Anyway, on the topic, you should probably just redownload it from your itouch. It will let you download it for free.
