Q: Need help!

My Ipad took a dive and i never saved anything to the cloud.  i have since hooked up a desktop computer (not a mac) but have successfully downloaded itunes.  Is there any way to retrieve my purchases and apply them to this computer until i can get my ipad fixed?  thank you.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

    Click here and follow the instructions; iOS applications can’t be run on a computer.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm 55, so I'm kind of old school when it comes to this stuff.  I was more worried that i lost upwards of a thousand dollars in guitar and recording apps when the ipad went down than anything....as i never saved it anywhere.  Since i posted i was able to find most of my stuff.  I also see it can not be accessed here.  At least it was not all lost, as i feared.  Now i just have to figure out if the ipad can be fixed and i guess it can be transferred back.  Thank you.
