How can I fix app downloading issues?  Can only load/update apps via sync with laptop.

I cannot download, reload,or update my Apps via Wifi. I can only accomplish this by syncing the phone via iTunes and laptop via cable. When I choose to install or update I get a "waiting" message indefinitely.

Issue solved. I found that there was a PodCast that had not finished downloading for some reason. I deleted the PodCast app and all PodCast downloads and Apps download fine now.

  • I just decommissioned my windows pc for a mac power book.  How can I get my ipad to sync with the new computer without erasing all the apps and data on the ipad?

    I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro.  When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer.  How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?

    Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
    Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
    FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005.

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • How can I prevent a macbook from syncing with my ical alerts.

    I was attempting to share a photo stream from my ipod touch with a friend. At one point when I was trying to figure out how she could access it, I believe I entered my apple ID on her macbook to connect to the icloud.  She is now receiving alerts from my calendar.  How can we stop that?  What does she need to do on her end to disconnect?  Thanks.

    If you go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set it to Don't Allow Changes it will disable the ability to change any of the iCloud settings, or settings for other accounts including email accounts, FaceTime, FaceBook, Twitter, the iTunes & App store ID, etc.  That would be your only option.  Also, as you may know, if you set restrictions make sure you write down the passcode; if you ever forget it you will need to restore the device as new, without using an backup (or restore a backup made before the restrictions passcode was set), in order to remove it.

  • How can I get my iPhone to sync with a new computer without being erased?

    I was syncing my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, but I formatted the operating system and installed a new iTunes on my laptop. When I connect my iPhone to the laptop, iTunes wants to erase everything in order to start syncing. I want to start syncing with my laptop, not remove all the content already on my phone. I don't want to loose my apps, my contacts, bascially everything on my iPhone.
    What can I do? I appreciate for your help
    Best!

    See the excelent user tip by wjosten: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    In short, you can't. But, you can do it in a way that minimizes what information will be lost, if any.

  • How can I prevent personal contacts from syncing with Exchange corporate email?

    I have my phone synching with my work Exchange server over ActiveSync, and have 2 personal email accounts (POP and IMAP).  The 2 personal accounts are also configured in Outlook 2010 on my home computer.  Itunes is also installed on this computer. 
    I want my contacts from my 2 personal accounts to sync to my phone (which is working), but not have them sync to my work account (this part is not working the way I want).  I now have all my personal contacts uploaded to my work account.  How can I remove the contacts from my work account without removing them from my phone?

    Unless you are in the same household, the agreement for Mountain Lion does not allow the setup you have now.
    You need to spend another US$30 and buy an additional copy and get that other MacBook on its own unique Apple_ID.

  • How can I get iCal alarm to sync with my iPhone 4?

    My iCal alarm won't sync with my iPhone 4 if I add the event using iCal on my Mac. I find that if I set an alarm on iCal, I only get an alert on my computer. If I add an event on my iPhone, I get a pop up alarm on both the phone and the computer. I want to be able to add an event on my computer and get an alert on both devices. Is this option even possible?

    Turn up the alert volume all the way in Sounds.   Lock it so you can't change it with the buttons.

  • How can I make a file server sync with a laptop when it connectsSOLVED

    Ok, first let me say that I looked on the Internet for this but didn't find what I was looking for. I'm going to be setting up a simple file server for my in laws soon...they use windows so I'll be using samba on the server side.
    They have 3 computers and want to be able to have all there files stored in one central place so they can share them easily and also have them backed up at the same time. They have 2 desktops and one laptop.
    The desktops are not a big deal to sync with the server because they are on all the time and I can just use a cron job or something. Then problem is the laptop..
    What can I do to make the laptop automatically sync when it gets on the network? 
    The catch is this needs to be ran from the server side so they have a "hands free" experience or whatever. If you know a way for the laptop to do this in the background I guess that would work too.
    I know this is probably a very simple task but so far everything I find the user would have to manually start the sync.
    Thanks in advance for you help!

    Is it necessary that all the files are on the local hard disks? In the case of the laptop I could understand this if the laptop is also used outside the network, but the desktops should stay in place, no?
    It could be as easy as to make a shortcut on all the computers to the samba-share and tell the inlaws that they have to use the samba-share to store their (shared) files.
    You are correct about this but I doubt they would remember to use this all the time so I want to sync the folders just in case.
    Assuming the laptop is always going to be in the same IP address when it connects to the network (which is unlikely in default configurations), you could create a script that checks for the existence of the machine on the network then perform a sync.  I had a script written in Python somewhere that would check to make sure the server side was up and run unison, but it could be modified to check for the laptop and copy files.  Let me know if that's something you're interested in and I can post it for you.
    This sounds like what I'm looking for. Also I wander If it could be done by NetBIOS  name instead of ip address? This way It wouldn't matter.
    The script sounds like what I'm looking for though
    Thanks for the help!

  • IPad (re)downloading app via wi-fi after iTunes previously added app via sync with PC

    I download most apps via iTunes on my PC (XPsp3) and sync with my iPad2 (iOS 5.1.1) to install the app. When I subsequently connect my iPad to wi-fi, it proceeds to re-download the same apps, even though they have just been installed on the device. Why? (How) can I stop this behaviour?

    Just figured it out after talking to Apple directly. They have to be on the same router network and it works just fine. Even picked up thed other laptop's library as well..
    Love it!

  • How to prevent iPhone apps to sync with iPad

    I have an iPhone and lot of apps on it. All of them are syncing with iPad, but I want to see only HD apps on iPad. So, can I forbid to install iPhone apps on my iPad?
    Thanks for answer!

    You just click on the iPad while connected to itunes, then click on the apps menu on the iPad in iTunes and you can select deselect which apps are synced. It has a drop down on the apps page to let you sort by date, device type, etc. There is also an option that prevents autosyncing of new apps.

  • How can I create a playlist that syncs with my ipod touch 5 that plays both podcasts and music? Before updating to itunes 11 I was able to do it and now it seems that the power is gone. (I do not have the podcast app on my ipod touch 5)

    When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
    With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
    When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
    If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.

    And what is the wording of the error message?
