Question about full wipe/factory reset

[Ivy547]

My phone was acting out really badly this afternoon, constantly rebooting itself, freezing up, screen going black and the like. I took it to the sprint store and it got wiped. My SD card though wasn't so lucky, tech said it was corrupted and it wasn't fixable, everything in it was gone (along with all my music, app backups and all my important stuff). So after one year with this phone I find myself with a blank slate. Any way I can get the apps back to it or do I have to do it manually one by one?

If you sign in to market, doesn't it download your apps again?

No, they appear on my desktop version but not on the phone. I read somewhere you could push them back but can't seem to find how.

If you go to market on your pc and then go to my account up at top it lists almost every app you have downloaded, then you can push them to your phone. This is what i do if I do a fresh re-install of a rom. (even though I have titanium backup, some times it is just easier to do it this way.)

I found the apps but when I try to re-download it says there's no device associated with that account... When I go to settings it has some of the info for my Optimus. But still can't...

You need to use the market from your phone and download an app first and then go to the web version and it'll have your device listed.

I did. All my contacts got back to my phone via sync, I logged into my phone's market with the same account and have downloaded about 12 apps. But for some reason it won't appear on my Desktop Market.
