Any way to keep apps on my ipod touch but not keep copies of them on my PC?

Is there any way to keep apps on my ipod touch but not keep copies of them on my PC? I have space issues on my PC, so I don't want to have to keep copies there. I deleted the apps from my PC, but when I synced my ipod to add some photos, all my apps were deleted from my ipod. Is there any way to be able to just sync photos and music, and not apps? Seems I am able to manually manage music, which allows me to not have to keep my music library stored on my PC, but can't get the photos to sync without the apps syncing too.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm new at this.
Thanks.

though purchased apps can be re-downloaded for free, i strongly advise against such a practice !

you would be better off to move your iTunes library to an external drive, thus freeing up space on your startup disk. this read will tell you how http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364.

  • Why is Circa 1948 app available on iPod touch but not my Mac?

    Unfortunately my iPod Touch does not support the latest OS update, so I cannot download Circa 1948, although it is available via Search.  It is not available on my iMac OS X 10.9.2.  Am I doing something wrong?

    No, you're not. The developer hasn't posted a Mac OS X version.

    Yhey,im wondering if there is any way to track down or finf ipod touch 4th gen. through the serial number?

    No, the only way to track it is "Find My iPhone". And the app has to be installed and activated before your device is lost.

  • Any way to get java for my iPod Touch?

    I can't access the network at my college because the sign-in page needs java. This is really frustrating. I read about something being done about this in February of 2008! What happened?
    Is there any way to get java on my ipod touch?

    No, the iPod touch does not support Java and there is no way of adding it.
    JavaScript and Java are totally different and JavaScript is enabled by default in Safari on the iPod touch.
    Your best bet would be to ask your college to consider a different sign-in page, as technically, there's no reason to use Java, and by doing so they are denying access to many handheld devices and mobile phones which people are increasingly using to access networks on the go.

  • The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

    The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

    I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
    1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
    2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
    3-Do you have any smart playlists?  Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
    I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
    Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter?  (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
    It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too.  It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
    Release the Buttons...

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music using a thrid-part probram like ne of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

    If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

    If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
    But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
    Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

  • I can download photos to my computer via my Ipod Touch but not a video of 833mb yet I can send it to my FB account on the same said device, does this make any sense?

    I can download photos to my computer via my Ipod Touch but not a video of 833mb yet I can send it to my FB account on the same said device, does this make any sense?

    See:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Do y have XP? if so see that topic in the above link,
    Can you go to My Computer>iPod>DCIM folder and copy it from there?
    Windows XP can't import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the files to your computer's hard drive.

  • I recently bought a lot of apps on my ipod touch, but i was never able to sync it to my computer, now my ipod is bricked and I dont know how to get those apps

    I recently bought a lot of apps on my ipod touch, but i was never able to sync it to my computer, now my ipod is bricked and I dont know how to get those apps

    Why were you never able to sync? You should be reguarly syncing
    Try putting it into recovery mode

    You can reload apps but as you don't have a backup of your iPod all data will be lost

  • Oh look a 'search' function on the iPod Touch, but not on our iPhones

    Oh look a 'search' function on the iPod Touch, but not on our iPhones. And we had a search all along on our iPhones, except only in the Google Maps prog.
    What the _?

    the search in safari searches the net, not the 100's of addresses, calendar entries, emails and notes on the iPhone. Any smartphone or phone billed and priced as a smartphone should do this. There should be a sense of urgency to address this one would think. Josh, we have received maybe three software updates now.
