"all existing apps and their data will be replaced with the apps from.....

..this library" i only have 3 apps showing in the "ipod touch apps" sidebar on the left, and i don't know if i click sync just to get them on the ipod touch, if they will replace EVERY other app on the ipod. before there used to be a list of all the apps i downloaded but its not showing now. and i cant even move around the apps on the screen on the right that shows what the ipod screen looks like.

Thanks MikePremium, but what happens after the sync is that I can see all the apps appear in the "Sync Apps" section, but grayed out, and then iTunes asks for my credentials but then it tells me it can't communicate with the store and to try again later.
If I try to check the "Sync Apps" box, it gives me the same warning message as before about how my apps will be replaced by the apps from "this library".
What do I do now? I synced to iTunes last week. Got a few new apps directly into my IPT since, but now I'm in the same situation as you guys. Now that I think of it, there may have been an iTunes update between the last time I synced and now. I subgrouped many apps and I can see the subgroups on the representation of my IPT in iTunes.
The drag about the message, is that if it DOES replace the apps, some new data in each of these apps will be lost.

  • Trying to sync my iPad and get the message that "all existing apps and their data will be replaced"

    Previously my Windows 7 laptop didn't recognise my iPad but I persevered and now am getting the message when trying to update the iOS that if I sync, "all existing apps and their data will be replaced" so I'll lose everything I've bought since I last synced (which is a while).  How can I back up my apps before syncing fully and then updating. I have 'transferred purchases' using the File menu but still getting the message.

    Sounds like you have created a new library somehow. Ideally you would restore your old library and the problem would go away. If that is not possible then you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the computer
    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Download remaining past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, where available
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • I have apps on my iPad and my computer is not connected to the Internet. How do I get my apps to load on the computer ? Because it says the apps on my iPad will be replaced with the apps that are on the computer but there is none there!

    Authorize the computer in iTunes -- Store>Authorizie this computer.  Transfer the purchases from the iPad into iTunes and then you can sync with iTunes. Read this for instructions on transferring purchases from the iPad into iTunes.

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

  • I plugged my iphone 4S into my computer for the first time and then my photos were replaced with the ones from my old iphone, how do i get them back?

    Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
    Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
    Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • HT1727 How do you transfer apps and their data (i.e. preferences, game saves etc.) from an old PC to a new Mac?

    My iPhone 4 was originally synced with the PC and I'm now trying to migrate it all over to the Mac.  Currently, every time I try to sync the iPhone with the new Mac, I get a message saying "All existing apps and their data will be replaced by apps on this computer".  I've used the "Transfer Purchases" option so the apps on the phone are also on the Mac.

    Migrate your library from the PC to the Mac. Normally all you need to do is copy teh entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other over a network or using an external drive.
    If your PC is no longer functional see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

  • I have just updated to the latest io5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on there?

    i have just updated to the latest ios 5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on my ipad?

    There is no need to do that, I had the same problem pal! Just do this and all should be fine!
    Delete one of the app's and re-install it, then for some reason everythign is restored to as it was!
    Hope you get on fine, let me know!
    Thanks

  • Please help with restoring different apps and their data between 2 iPads

    I just bought a new iPad Air 2 . I currently have 2 iPads, 1st gen and iPad 2nd, each with its own set of apps and their data. I backed up each older iPad manually as  a full backup. I created a separate library for one of them when doing this. Now I want to transfer iPad 1st gen apps and data to iPad 2nd, so I reset iPad 2nd to factory and then restored from the manual back up of the iPad 1st gen and it seems to work fine. Before that I had backed up iPad 2nd's current data. So now I now I want to transfer the iPad 2nd apps and data to the new iPad Air. I selected the backup by the time stamp that I had backed up iPad 2nd. I didn't know how to rename each iPad to something unique. It restored from backup, but it's all the apps and data from my iPad 1st gen backup, not iPad 2nd.
    I'm utterly confused. Even when I have the separate iTunes library open it shows all the manual backups I performed, so it's not truly a separate library. Do I need to manually install/remove the various apps on the newer iPad?

    If you only have 1 file per quarter, one obvious thing to do would be to edit out the time in between plays, the time-outs, and the like. That is easily done in iMovie.
    Having said that, importing (and exporting) in high definition takes time, and your times do not seem unreasonable.

  • I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?

    Transfer purchases over from your phone to your computer before you sync your apps. See Transferring Purchases for more details.

    You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

    Have you tried signing out of your iTunes & App Store on your device and then back in again - Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign in again and see if it accepts the password.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue,  try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. See if the problem is resolved.

  • HT1364 I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer?  what am I doing wrong....thanks

    I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD?  thanks

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.
