App updates syncing problem

The problem of app updates not syncing properly (error messages) has been discussed before and the best solution I have seen is to remove the app and then reinstall it by syncing via the iPhone Applications tab in iTunes.
However, this has the effect of wiping any data associated with the application. For instance I have just updated eReader which has deleted all my downloaded books!
Has anyone come up with a better solution to this? Of course, the whole update process should work without any of this messing about, and I believe it does for some people. I would love to know why none of my updates now work properly whether done from the iPhone or from iTunes. Hopefully Apple will address this in a future software update.

Well all, throw my hat into the ring as well... I have an original 8GB iPhone with version 2.1 installed. the phone works great except when it comes to installing upgraded Applications. It just will NOT install the Application upgrades and I am not about to throw days worth of data that has been applied to certain Apps. So until a fix comes along I guess I will use the version I have installed. Here is the error message I am receiving:
"Some of the applications in your iTunes library were NOT installed on the iPhone "****" because one or more errors occurred. (See below):"
The application "*******" was NOT installed on the phone "****" because an unknown error occurred (0xE800002E)
In my case I had 6 updates that did NOT upgrade because of the above error. The above error code was the same for ALL of them...
Like all have said in this thread, hoping a fix comes soon and only Apple can do it, which they no doubt will, hopefully the next update they do.......................................

  • New Touch Missing Movie Rental/Game "In-App Purchase" Sync Problems.

    just picked up the new iPod Touch 4G (64GB) and am syncing to Win7 Starter (32bit).
    I rented a few movies before I bought the Touch. They all seemed to download fine. the "Move" sync process seemed like it worked perfectly. When I looked back at my movies on my touch, some of them were missing. When I double checked my rental section in iTunes the movies were missing. I remember a dialogue later, saying that the file couldn't be found. I ran a quick windows search with no results.
    So it seems like I could "Move" the movie fine, but after the sync finished, the files were gone from both the computer and the touch.
    Could someone please explain this, and what I may do to recover those files? I did pay for them after all, and would still like to watch them. I just don't want to pay for them twice.
    Also (another similar issue):
    I downloaded and played the game "FieldRunners" fine, but then decided to do an "in-app purchase" for the next level. I clicked download/entered my info/ and it seemed to download correctly, but when I re-entered the app, the level was not available to play. just weird.
    FYI: this is my first iOS device, so please don't flame me for newbie ignorance.
    Any advice/suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks.
    Overall, Here is my experience with the new touch:
    First Connection: Installation did not work. Unplugged / Replugged USB worked correctly. (no restart necessary).
    Selecting content to sync: Did not detect Outlook 2010 (FULL/NOT BETA) for Contacts/Calendar/etc.
    I chose not to sync this through iTunes, and instead setup an "Exchange" account on my iPod Touch through google (m.google.com). Works perfectly.
    I have my other email addresses forwarded through gmail to take care of push notifications. I still don't have Outlook 2010 calendars synced with google yet, but I'll figure that out.
    Then I noticed the other sync problems mentioned above.
    Again, any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Epski
    Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
    When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
    You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?

  • Ipad2 app update download problem

    I started an app update download, then was prompted to connect to wifi due to size of download, wifi is currently unavailable. So I want to use the existing ver of app but app icon states "loading".  How do I reset app to be able to use it in it's current version?

    Don't think you can - it's started its update process now so I think you will need to finish the update before you can use the app again.

  • IPhone App Update - big Problems installing ITunes again

    Hello!
    Yesterday I tried to Update to 4.02. ITunes loaded the big Update file with my small bandwidth within 1 hour. After that ITunes told me that the firmware-file was damaged. So I tried it again 3 times. The same.
    I uninstalled ITunes, Quicktime, etc. Like a solution on the apple support website displayed. Then I loaded ITunes (64) again (I have Vista x64). The installer displayed that there is an error installing (without any idea what was wrong.
    Then I decided to install my PC completly new. After that I installes ITunes again and got the same message. So I installed ITunes 9.0 what worked proper. I thought I could update via ITunes so that I finally have 9.2 installed.
    The Updatefile was loaded, but after downloading the Updater sayed: wrong signature of downloaded file. ITunes will not be installed.
    Has any of you an idea what this could be? The reason why I wanted to update is that my Iphone doesn't update any apps. It displays that I should connect via ITunes to get the updates.
    Sorry for my bad english. I'm from Germany.

    it seems that problem is with your computer,
    and 'wrong signature of downloaded file' indicates problems
    like virus infection, Bad Ram or Hard Disk, or bad internet connection.
    so it's better to use another computer and other internet connection.

  • Airpot update. sync problems. etc.

    so to those of us who had this problem and had to switch off airport everytime we were using our apps, i have been reading the different discussions and people have said that there was an update released to this. however i have not seen any to download when i check my software update. i have another computer which does not even have logic and suffers from the same symptoms in other applications and when i check the software update it says everything is up-to date!
    do i have to get it from somewhere else?
    thanks!

    In addition to power draw problems when charging from USB there are also bandwidth problems on each USB header. (UHCI) Each header controls one or two USB channels, and each channel can control multiple devices if a HUB is used.
    However, the total bandwidth can never exceed 480 Mbps for Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
    People who have USB external disks, or USB network controllers can easily over-run the bandwidth available on any UHCI.
    I personally have never had a problem using a HUB, but all of my hubs are externally powered, and I don't have any high-bandwidth devices other than the iPhone connected to the hub.
    Yours sounds like it could be more related to bandwidth than power, but who knows.

  • IPhone 4 app's syncing problems

    I got my iPhone today Updated the software and itunes etc... I downloaded some app's from the store and now I wanna sync them with my iPhone.
    So when I wanna do that, it tells me that my pc is not allowed to do so and that I have to grant acces etc... which I have done by going to the store tab at the top of my itunes screen... I only have one account on my pc and that's an administrator and I tried to grant acces and to deny it again and then regrant it etcetcetc, but it just wont work.
    How can I fix this?

  • After 10.5.7 update : sync problem

    I have the same problem as these gentlemen.
    http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Office/[email protected]@
    It seems to be related to 10.5.7
    Never had this before.
    As M$oft is mute as usual (laptop hunters anyone ?),
    I thought someone could help here…
    10.5.7 was made with Combo

    I first removed syncing ~/Library/PubSub but this did not help too much.
    I removed the contents of ~/.FileSync from clients (2) and server. Since the clients have FileVault home dirs that requires being logged in everywhere.
    The old SQLite db in ~/.FileSync directory was 16MB, the new one 1.8MB. After that, I have seem an improved responsiveness. Still not something extremely fast, but good enough.
    It would be good if there was some sort of 'reclaim' functionality in the SQLite db that underlies home syncing, just like there is for FileVaulted home directories.

  • Why does that app update not clear in App Store on iTunes Sync?

    I have noticed this as a problem ever since I upgraded to iOS8. I always update my apps on my iOS devices by a sync with iTunes. The reason I do this is because I do not like the annoying blue dot beside the app after I update it until I actually open the app. I have been doing this successfully for years. Now that I am on iOS8 I still sync to update but the update badge will not reset even though the app store knows the app is updated. The badge only goes away (resets itself) when there is a new update available in the app store. To overcome this I have turn off notification in the app store so I do not have to see the badge on my screen but I don't understand why iOS 8 is creating this problem. This did not occur in iOS 7 or 6. I thought it was initially because I installed a Beta app for Accompli but that was not correct because I did a complete restore and rebuilt my iOS device from scratch, did not install a backup. Is anybody else having this problem?
    Here is how to duplicate:
    Wait for you to have apps to update on your iOS device but don't update them through the device.  You will need to make sure the auto update for Apps is turned off.
    Download the updates for the Apps in iTunes.
    Make sure you have the box check in iTunes to for "Automatically install new apps".
    Sync
    iTunes will sync and update the apps on your device and there will be no blue dots on the update. However, the app store on your device will see that there is no update available any more, the button beside the app in the update section will say open instead of update, but the badge will not reset.  Used to be the badge would reset and they updates would no longer appear in the app store at all.

    I assume no one has encountered this before?

  • New software update still not downloading.  Apps updates have all downloaded since iTunes issue resolved.  Is the software issue also related to this, or is there another problem?  This is on my iPhone 6, not my Mac.

    Trying to download the iOS 8.2 software update on my iPhone 6, but it won't update.  All app updates have resolved since the iTunes issue was resolved.  Is the software update issue related to this as well, or is it another problem entirely?
    I've synced it to iTunes, turned it off/on, etc., but still not downloading.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi DebC64,
    So is the iOS 8.2 update not downloading to your iPhone, computer or both?
    You have synced it to iTunes, that is an option to update if it's not updating wirelessly.  Please see if other steps help.

  • App Update problem after updating to iTunes 8.1.1

    Hello! The first time I opened iTunes after upgrading to v. 8.1.1, I saw that there were 13 App updates available; when I selected 'Applications' and then 'Check for Updates' at the bottom of the Applications screen, a message came that said "There are no updates available for the account __"; the account named was my account name, but with @me.com rather than @mac.com. I know that there are some updates available, as I've deliberately NOT updated several that I don't want the updated versions of.
    Back to the iTunes Store screen, at the upper right appeared my proper account name, the @mac.com account. I clicked on that, producing a screen with my proper, mac.com account, and entered my password, which brought up all my proper account information; but no app updates were listed as available.
    Then, checking my iPhone, the App Store icon showed 11 updates available; when I opened that, the screen stated that 'All Apps Are Up to Date".
    So there seems to be a problem that has resulted from iTunes 8.1.1. I am reluctant to link my iPhone to this new version, as I fear what havoc might result.
    Any suggestions/solutions?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same problem. It started out with saying I have one app that needs updating, now it's up to two. I sync my phone nightly. I've downloaded iTunes again and when I ran the exe it asked me to Repair or Remove. I Repaired, rebooted and am still having the same problem. I'm also having sync issues with my calendar and Outlook. I'm restored my phone as well. Still having the same problems.

    Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process.  If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage.  In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track.  Everything worked fine on Windows 7.  So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility.  As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • Can I sync an iPad but omit one app update?

    I have asked this question in iTunes without success so will try here for a wider audience.
    I have a housebound relative who uses her iPad and Facebook as her link to the outside world.
    There is a badge for the new Facebook app but looking at the comments about it the App update has caused many Facebook account to be rendered lmost unusable from n iOS device.. My relative does not want to upgrade the app until the problems are resolved for fear of losing the use of Facebook.
    However he does keep her iPad Synced with iTunes regularly. So is there any way that an iTunes sync can be carried out but the Facebook app update omitted so in fact she keeps the current app she is using.
    I think not but would welcome any suggestions.

    Is the app on her computer's iTunes, and if so is it the new version or not ?  If it's the new version then she can delete it from her computer's iTunes library which will stop the new version being synced to her iPad.  When she then syncs her iPad it might copy the old version from the iPad to her computer's iTunes - but if she always downloads app updates on her computer then that will get updated on her computer to the new version again, so she will need to delete the app from her computer's iTunes before she syncs again.

  • Downloading app updates problem - iTunes 11.1

    Since I downloaded and installed the new version, it keeps freezing when downloading app updates, they get so far then sort-of hang. I get no error messages. Is there a way I can stop a download and restart it?

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best
    Alex
