Hi Steve,

If you mean the library pane on the left, under Applications, they're not
there.

When I plugged my phone into the new PC, it said 'do you want to sync
your apps from your phone to this PC' (or words to that effect), I said
'yes' and it then appeared to be doing so, but at the end said 'You
haven't authorised this PC' at which point I then had no apps on the
phone or the PC.   Joy.    Why didn't it tell me that before syncing and
trashing what was on my phone...

My PC is now added as one of my 5 authorised ones, but while I can see
a list of paid for apps on my account history, getting them seems to
be a challenge.  

Ho hum :)
