Apps won't sync after being updated

Following the on-screen instructions I downloaded the updates for four apps. Now the updated apps simply won't sync. If I tick the boxes to sync the apps and press apply the other apps sync normally but the ticks just disappear from the updated ones and they don't sync. I've tried all the usual Apple support advice and it still happens. Any ideas anyone?

I've answered my own question.
I tried resetting and everything else recommended by Apple and nothing worked. Then, last night, iTunes finally let me download the latest operating system and all the updated apps synced normally. App providers should make it clear if upgrades don't work without the latest operating system.

Ipod Touch 5th gen won't sync after iOS update

iPod Touch will not sync after iOS 7 update. It's stucked at "changes are being applied" and won't go past that point. Tried 5 times and got the same problem. I have the latest iTunes installed.
Any suggestions?

Try a cold reboot of your phone / iPod. I.e. hold power + home button until it reboots.
Worked for me.

Some Apps Won't Sync After Restore

I ran a restore on my iPod Touch, and after it completed most of my apps will not sync.
Everything worked prior to the restore (Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, etc), but none of these will sync to the iPod at all. Some of my apps (Angry Birds, ESPN, Solitaire) sync just fine.
Music and Podcasts sync fine.
I deauthorized and reauthorized my PC (running Windows XP)
I ensured the Sync Apps box is checked
Restrictions on the iPod are Off
There is over 600MB of space available on the iPod
I checked for App updates, none were available
I rolled back from iTune 10.7 to 10.6.3
I reset the iPod using the power & home buttons
I ran another restore
None of these were successful.
The iPod Touch is running version 4.2.1 (this the latest this generation of Touch will update to)
I attempted to download both the Facebook and Netflix apps directly onto the iPod via wifi, and they say iOS 5 is necessary; this was not the case previously.
Any ideas? Thanks

As Ingo2711 said, the developers have updated many or their apps and the updated apps are no longer comnpatible with earlier iOS.
FB now requires:
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

IPhone 5 Won't Sync After iOS8 Update

I have updated to iOS8 & now I'm unable to sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes 11.4. I initially did the update via OTA & noticed the problem, so I downloaded the ipsw file & did a restore. I then setup the iPhone from my last backup & the problem was still there, this time I was unable to sync most of my apps & none of my music collection. I now currently on the second restore & this time I'm going to try setting the iPhone up as "new" & then try to restore the apps etc manually instead.
Has anyone else either on an iPhone 5 or another iPhone who has updated to iOS8 experienced this problem too?

This appears to be a common problem. In fact, so common, it can't be accidental (see My MacBook won't sync my iPhone since I downloaded IOS8, is anyone else experiencing the same problem?) It appears to be a deliberate ploy, that, in my opinion, amounts to commercial blackmail, by Apple. I've been a loyal user of Mac products for almost 15 years since I bought my first ipod and MacBook. Today, I have an ipad2, iphone 5 and 6 and a MacBook of an older generation, lovingly cared for, carefully nurtured but well past its sell by date...according to Apple. So my operating system has gone as far as it can go. But still I refuse (I cant afford) to budge. So get itunes 12, someone suggests. Can't. It doesn't operate on my size of MacBook, the ones Apple wants to forget. Y'know, the ones they built the sales of their company on? So, upgrade to ios8, my iphone5 insisted, your world will be a better place.Buy an iphone6 and all your problems will be solved. U2?
Excuse me, no, it isn't. Now my iphone wont sync and itunes refuses to transfer my musical choices to my devices. Not only that, I can't do a manual backup to my computer, only icloud.
So, I've forked out a heap of money, in good faith, for a product, of Apple's design, that gives me less than what I had before, deprives me of my own music collection (28,000 tracks) and limits me to choose my listening pleasure, only from music bought from itunes. There's something rotten in Silicone Valley.

IPod Nano won't sync after iTunes update to 11

My 5th Generation iPod Nano will not sync to iTunes 11. I am running iTunes 11.0.1, on an one year old iMac running on an Intel Core i5, running MacOS X 10.8.2 with 4 GB of memory. Now that we got that out of the way-- I use this iPod daily. Once I updated to iTunes 11, synching has been sporatic. Once I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens like it should, however the iPod never appears in the iTunes window, only in the Finder. I have done the following:
ejected the iPod from the Finder window and then unplugged it, and reattached the iPod.
Quit iTunes and restarted, reStarted the iPod by toggling the power switch and holding the Menu/Select buttons until it restarted.
Rebooted my computer
Restored the iPod nano
Results are the same. Sometimes it will sync, after an extended period of time, without reason. Once I eject and need to reconnect the device, I am unable to get it to sync. Sometimes I have ended up with a spinning beachball and have force quit iTunes and sent a report and a description, but Apple doesn't seem to have come up with an update yet.
I can tell you this-- I have not seen an iPod that would be a suitable replacement for this one-- I love not having to look at the screen to operate it's simple controls, and it is the perfect size.
I can also tell yo uthis-- The new suprise user interface on iTunes 11 is clunky and requires too many steps to maintain my playlists. Do not like it.
Suggestions?

IPOD won't sync after latest update

I updated Itunes last night when prompted. Now my IPOD Classic won't sync. It says it's syncing but then stuff I deleted from Itunes is till on it and new stuff isn't. In the new Itunes layout I can't see if tracks are checked or not or even see my IPOD settings.
I hate this new update.

It seems obvious now but I finally, in frustation multi-cliked the IPOD icon that appears in the upper right of Itunes when your IPOD is hooked up. It brought up the IPOD menu and all my settings had been changed, so it no longer auto-synched checked items.
Apperently it no longer show the check boxes when looking at stuff already downloaded. It grays unchecked tracks out.

Help Iphone won't sync after iTunes update

So I just updated iTunes to the newest version in preparation for the 3.0 software, My OS is 10.5.7 and Itunes is the latest version and now my iphone won't sync, it will back up but when it says phone syncing it just stops and the spinning ball comes up and then will not go away, tried restarting, anyone have any ideas?

Restart computer. Power off/on iPhone. Re-connect. If that doesn't work....I had a similar problem. I just downloaded iTunes 8.2 direct from apple website and re-installed....solved my problems.

ITunes store won't open and iPod won't sync after I updated to 10.5 on Windows 7

So I recently upgraded iTunes to 10.5 on my Windows 7 running PC and the minute I did that the store would no longer open up. I get the "accessing" bar and it moves about halfway and then stops and disappears, then leaves my screen with a bunch of boxes and blue links instead of album pictures and what not (and the links don't work either). I also tried to sync my iPod and this will not work either. It goes through the "preparing to sync" mode and then makes it to "step 2 of 4" and freezes just after starting that, never to start again. I've even left it running for hours while I went to sleep or to work just to see if it would kick into gear but the bar never moves again. I've already configured the firewall to accept iTunes and I've done the whole uninstall/reinstall bit about 10 times, all to no avail. I've tried moving back down to iTunes 10.4.1 and it works great, except that my iPod already got the update for 10.5 to go through so it will no longer work with iTunes 10.4. I've been talking to a Tech guy for the past 2 weeks and we have tried a ton of things and nothing works, so if any of you out there have a solution please PLEASE help. This is really driving me insane.

I have had the exact same problem since allowing the 10.5 version of itunes to update on my computer. I spent over 1 hour on the phone with the apple support team, and they couldn't fix it. After they couldn't fix it, they tried to blame my Norton 360 security, even though I tried to explain to them that it is a Windows error, and it even happened after I deinstalled the security software. (and yes, disabled the Windows firewall.) I ended up deinstalling all apple programs, quicktime, bonjour, and itunes from my computer. I then googled "itunes apps. downloads" and found a website where I could download the previous version of itune for free. it's not ideal, but I was stuck in a situation where I couldn't use my ipod at all. I can survive like this until Apple realizes that we're not all crazy, and fixes the problem.

Apps won't start after latest update?

Hello,
I'm on an older 2006 iMac (the one without the black border) and I installed the latest update last night. Now I can't get Firefox, Safari, Mail or apps working properly. When I try to start an app it bounces up and down and then I can't remember what it says but it won't start. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking of downloading Firefox and Safari on my sister's computer and then transferring them via my memory stick.
I also tried a restart. Last night I just shut it down and walked away and figured I'd deal with it when I get home from work today.

Hi, first I hope you have your important stuff backed up!!?
I would & always do Repair Permissions Before & after Updates, so I would try the RP ..
Then I would go the SMC route, specific for your model..
If after that you still have "issues" You may need to go the Archive & Install route..

I did EVERYTHING. And it still won't work.
Can someone please help me with this? I heard something working for iphone, but not ipod 5s.
And my music was halfway synced when itunes stopped working bcs the update was done which basically means i can't listen to my music because as far as it shows on my ipod, the songs aren't on them.
APPLE: LET ME GO BACK TO THE OLD ITUNES! Or fix this god **** problem.

See the following. Do not forget the Additional Information paragraph.

The iPod will not show up in Finder.

Apps won't sync after restore

I have been fighting one problem after another for two days. Finally got my ipod touch restored. I have synced everything but my apps. Progress line indicates apps are being installed but when finished there are no apps. I am overwhelmed by the responses when I search for the problem. Sorry to ask for help without thoroughly researching but it is late and I'm frustrated. Thanks.

All that seemed to be OK but next attempt to sync worked. However, several of my apps stored data and all of that is gone. I can reenter some of it but a lot of it is historical info that is simply gone unless I can find it somewhere. Any chance of getting my data back? Thanks.

Apps won't sync after windows 7 install

Everything else seems to sync just fine.
Apps show up in itunes but when I try to click on them and apply it goes through the motions but won't put them on the phone.
Anyone have a clue of what I am doing wrong?

Does your music, if you have any, sync?

Outlook calendar wiped out and won't sync after device update to 5.0

I recently got a new laptop at work and had to reinstall the Blackberry Desktop Manager from the web. Upon opening it suggested I download an update for my device to 5.0, so I did. Ever since then, it wiped out my Outlook calendar at work when I synced but updated my device with all the events but it will not sync back to my Outlook. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the BB Desktop Manager several times but the sync always gets as far updating my device then I get a popup saying an error occurred and needs to close BB Desktop Manager. If I don't hit close on that error, the sync continues then stops as soon as it gets to updating Outlook. I REALLY need to get my Outlook calendar back up-to-date bc it is for work and ppl need to view my calendar to setup meetings.
How can I revert back to the previous version of my device using my device since I don't have a backup on my laptop from when I updated it????

If none of the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store are working, but the Apple built-in ones are, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

Apps won't appear after being downloaded

After I downloaded a few apps, they wouldn't appear on my screen. I went into the App Store and tapped Open but it still would not open or appear on the screen. Any solutions?

If they are "waiting" then:
http://lifehacker.com/5948155/fix-iphone-apps-stuck-waiting-during-installation
Otherwise
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download the apps on computer and sync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My apps won't reinstall after I updated to ios7, and they say "waiting" and won't download

I updated last night and the main apps I use are still in the "waiting" phase

Tapping and rebooting has not helped me. It is Gmail. I can open from the App store download.
I am unable to delete the app either.
I have the same problem on my iPad with two apps.
