OS X Mountain Lion Recovery

I had recovered my OS X Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, on iTunes once logged in, can see my apps and iPhoto and iMovie didn't install, anyone know why?

Note, that Snow Leaopard was that OS installed on my MacBook Pro when I bought it. I had upgraded to Mountain Lion later on.

I decided to performed a System Recovery due to OS was running reallly slow.

Now, Itunes didn't load my apps on my account, so i can not sync my iPad and iPhone. On the other hand, iPhoto and iMovie, didn't install.

Thanks to your help.

If by a system recovery you mean an erase and install, you won't have your iLife apps re-installed. Those came with your Mac, not an AppStore purchase. Use the original disks that came with your Mac, in your case disk 2, I believe.

As far as iTunes, it sounds like you didn't migrate on the first boot in Setup Assistant, but chose to wait until you tested the system? In that case Migration Manager probably created a new account in /Users?

Should I used TimeMachine, and recover my old OS profile, and from there, save iLife apps, iTunes account. or do I have any ohter way to solve my missing point?

What would be the safer and smarter way to solve this?

Thanks
