All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5). Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before. iPad now zero.
I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer. I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message. I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps. When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings). Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home). Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out. Nothing will download to my iPad.
My original Apple account is under my name. However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com. Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts. This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before. To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com). I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly. And I need it for work.
I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps. Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue. I appreciate your help and suggestions.

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.
You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud. -
when i go to update my app i have to put my apple id password but instead of having my email address it has someone else's. On my computer it has my email on my itunes it has my email, and even on the app store it has my email
Did you purchase the iPhone second hand?
Has anybody else signed into their Apple ID on your iPhone? -
I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is there another way to update iPhoto?
Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!
I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

I have just upgraded to 10.6.7, and was browing the App. Store, I selected a product by mistake and it started to download, I cancelled the download, but it still registers in my purchases list, have I purchased that appl.? and how can I cancel the purchase in my purchases list?
I think that as soon as you click "Buy" and type in your details, the iTunes server is alerted that you have bought the item, even if it hasn't downloaded. Your "purchased" list is based on your account and not your computer so I'm afraid even if you haven't completed the download, you will be charged for it (but if you do now download it, you won't be charged again). This also means that you can't remove items from the purchased list.
Glad to be of help (I hope),

Can icloud sync an app between 2 iphones and an ipod?
I was wondering if the icloud can sync an app between 2 iphones and an ipod under the same ID
Yes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 setup iCloud on all devices under the same account and backup to the cloud. If its two iPhones, are they both one owner? If not,it's best to not setup iCloud on a device that is not the same owner.

Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?
Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?
Not sure exactly what you are going for...
You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
BTW... apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks! -
I've problem with Game Center . I can't sign in Game Center on my iPad . I tap on the Game Center icon but the page is blank. I tried go to setting, my Apple ID appear but the page keep on loading and nothing pop up. How to resolve this issue?
Hi, bamboo64.
Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Once this is done test the results. If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through.

Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

MacBook Pro: I have changed my old apple ID address but cannot update apps now as it still reverts to my old ID address as the primary holder (it is the apple ID that I have purchased the apps, etc). I have tried to edit back to the old address but it will not let me type in the address and there is no blue edit sign on the rhs. What can I do to rectify this problem?. Is there a waiting period after editing an apple ID address? I have spent the good part of yesterday searching the net and know that there is a major problem with this but wondering if anyone has found a solution. Thank you.
Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:

I'm having problems with 8.1 and Continuity / Handoff. It will work fine for web pages, etc. but in email when I try to do it between by iPhone 5s running 8.1 and my Macbook Pro running Yosemite I consistently get an error. "Failed to Continue Activity" Cocoa Error 4609. Handoff is working for phone calls and text messages. By email just crashes each time. It was also doing it under 8.0.2. My iPhone and iPad handle this fine. It's only the MacBook to the iPhone that fails, and only on email.

I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?
Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.
