After rebooting, iTunes tries to sync all apps onto iphone

After rebooting my MBA (late 2010), the first sync of my iphone 4 shows ALL of my apps placed on my iphone up to its capacity.
This has happened twice in the past week. The first time, I had to keep syncing the iphone and deleting the unwanted apps, working my way through whatever iTunes automatically loaded without my intervention. After I deleted all of the unwanted apps in my iphone, subsequent syncs were fine. Then, this morning, after a reboot, they all showed up again in the apps list ready to be synced to my iphone. I'd rather not have to go through the very time consuming effort of having to sync-delete-sync-delete... again.
PLEASE HELP!

Bump. Nobody knows?

Geesh - all this information and no one has any clue to this? Not even someone from Apple?
Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

ITunes doesn't sync some apps to iPhone

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5. After that iTunes doesn't sync anymore some apps to phone. When I try to sync them to iPhone, in the end on syncing iPhone shows a message, that the installing of that app was unsuccesful. iTunes doesn't say anything about that. The problem occurs with about a half of apps which I have on my computer. There isn't anything error code or something like that, phone simply says that installing was unsuccesful. The messages comes always when the app is loaded to phone and phone tries to install that.
I have latest version of iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on phone. I have tried booting phone and computer. What is the problem, that some apps doesn't simply get installed to phone? I think it doesn't matter if the app is mine or my friend's, because some of his apps get installed and some not, same thing with my apps.
I'll be thankful for help

It just keep repeating all over again & again.. All the apps can't sync back into the phone even i authorised it. But i can still download from the app store thru my iphone but when i wanna sync with my itunes again, the same things appear again..

Why is iTunes trying to sync deleted items to iPhone?

Hi,
I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4.
When attempting to sync my music, iTunes tries to sync particular items twice. The result is that the second time it tries to sync it fails, and it results in a message "x items could not be synced see itunes for more information".
Attempted Solutions:
I erased all the music off my iPhone (having previously had it on synchronising particular playlists). However this left all the duplicated items that iTunes were trying to sync to the iPhone as showing as audio files on the summary tab and in the music tab. I can manually delete these if I select manually manage music however this comes back again when I press sync. I don't understand why it's trying to sync music (and taking up space on the iPhone summary tab) when I have de-selected synchronising any music at all.
I have deleted the items in questions completely from my iTunes however iTunes still attempts to synchronise then when connected to the iPhone. They do not show in the Music App on the iPhone but they do show as greyed out entries on the music pane in iTunes under my iPhone's device name. Again I can delete these but upon synchronising my playlists by de-selecting manually manage music these items re-appear!
Someone please help me!
Thanks,

Yea mine tends to do that too sometimes but most of the time I just eject my phone from iTunes if its not connected or I let it try to sync because I know it won't sync since my phone is not connected to any sort of power source.
You could always try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes if all else fails.

Tried to sync an app onto my touch off of my computer, and a window popped up stating that I did not have the proper software for the app...HELP

I tried to sync an app from my computer to my touch and a window popped up stating that I did not have the proper software for that app. How do I get the software update??

This is the iPhone hardware forum. It sounds like you need to upgrade the version of iOS on your device, though. Plug it in and click check for updates in iTunes.

Since updating to itunes 10.1.2 it tries to "re-sync" all apps to iphone

i just updated to itunes 10.1.2 a few days ago. ever since, when i plug my iphone 4 32GB (iOS 4.2.1) in to sync, itunes will try to install all the existing apps i have back onto the phone even though they are already on the phone and have not been updated. with over 1,000 apps on my iphone this obviously is time consuming (and unnecessary since a sync is only meant to copy over new or updated apps).
here is the situation:
1) i purchased new apps on my iphone
2) i did not purchase any new apps on my computer and did not update any apps on my computer
3) so the sync should only update apps FROM my phone TO the computer, not vice versa.
however, when the sync begins it will correctly start the step "transferring purchases FROM iphone", but then it will stop it before it completes (it only actually copies over 1 or 2 of the 10 or so apps i bought on the phone) and then it immediately goes into the step "syncing apps TO iphone" which i already pointed out nothing has changed or been added with regards to apps on my computer. this is when it "installs" all the apps from my computer to my phone which already exist and are up to date on my phone.
i went ahead let it do that sync overnight hoping that once it completes it wouldn't do it anymore. when i got up the next morning it was only HALF way through (again, i have over 1,000 apps on my phone). then when i unplugged it and tried to sync again it simply started back at the beginning. if it were truly syncing it would have realized it already did half of the apps and not start at the beginning the next time. so i have no doubt if i waited 16 hours for it to go all the way through, it would still just do it all over again the next time i sync. and there's no way i can be phone-less for 16 hours anyway.
this is extremely frustrating. i have had to stop the sync and restart it many many times for it to finally copy over to my computer all the apps i bought on my phone since it keep stopping that step after only doing 1 or 2 apps.
i have already tried doing a hard reset of my iphone and doing a shutdown and re-start of my computer. but this did not fix the problem.
anyone else having this issue or suggestions?

i have also now noticed that if i delete an app on my iphone, when i go to sync the process will not notify my computer that the app was deleted, instead itunes simply re-installs it back onto my phone.

Sync all app from iphone to new pc

hey
I'v lost all my information on my old pc and now I've bought new pc and installed itunes on it.
now I want to sync all my app to itunes and get full backup from my iphone to pc but just 49 apps out of 313 apps can be transfered.
what should I do to transfer all 313 apps of my iphone to my new pc.
by the way I bought 40% of these apps and I have new version of itunes on my pc
please help meeee

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success. Can you help? Thanks.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success. Can you help? Thanks

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

Do you have restrictions enabled on your iPad? Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have it turned on. If so - see if you have installing apps turned off. If you do, turn restrictions off on your iPad and that may do it for you.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another. Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync. Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes. When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it. Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone. After selecting your apps then you can sync. Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.
