Apps disappear after syncing with itunes

I have a problem. it only started after i bought my new iMac and migrated all my docs etc from my macbook using Migrate Assistance. when i download apps on my iphone, after i sync with itunes they just dissapear.
HELP please

I know I am late in posting to this discussion but I had to put my two cents in. I am having the exact same problem on my 3GS. I use a PC to connect to itunes and more often than not after syncing is complete all of my apps have gone out of the organized folders! I wouldn't complain if I only had 20-30 apps to deal with but I have 495! I have called Apple on this problem several times and they have continued to plea ignorance saying that they have never had anyone call in with this problem before! Obviously this is not the case by all of the people writing about the same thing! I hope that Apple will get with their programmers and figure out what the heck is going on...we deserve better than this! Mr. Jobs would not be so well-off without us so he needs to take better care of his customers! Well, I FINALLY talked to someone that seemed to have a solution to my problem! I thought that you only needed to organize your apps into folders on the actual phone...nobody had asked me before if I had organized them directly on itunes. I am in the process of doing this now and I hoping beyond hope that by doing this my folders stay organized! Although, there was one time when I was just sitting at my desk and my folders all became disorganized when it wasn't even plugged into any computer or being charged with a wall outlet! We will have to wait and see!

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

HT2513 one of my caledars disappeared after sync with iphone? where is it? How do I get it back?

one of my caledars disappeared after sync with iphone? where is it?

Generally your library will be in your music folder in an iTunes folder, more specifically a library.itl file. If it isn't there then for some reason it has disappeared and can be restored from the backup you make of your computer.

Music files missing after sync with iTunes

All of my devices are updated to the last version.
I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
Zen style APPLE !!

It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
try this:
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Outlook 2007 calendar events font changes after syncing with iTunes

I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows XP PC. I have no problems syncing Outlook calendar events with my iPhone 4 other than for one highly annoying detail. My default font in Outlook is set to Times New Roman 12 pt. Whenever I sync, all of my calendar events' text in Outlook is changed from Times New Roman 12 pt. to Calibri 11 pt., and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 pt.
It's driving me nuts as I find Calibri to be hideous-looking. In addition to the font change, all other special formatting such as bold and italics are removed.
Has anyone experienced this before or know what's going on? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Has no one experienced this issue? I can't understand why this happening. It's been almost two months since I posted this.
To reiterate: After syncing with iTunes (the newest version), all custom text formatting in Outlook 2007 calendar events are changed to Calibri 11 point, and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 point. My default font is set to Times New Roman 12 point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After syncing with iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support uses 83-99% of CPU

After syncing with iTunes 10.4.0.80, everything becomes very slow on my XP Home PC with 2G RAM. Apple Mobile Device is reported as using 83-99% of the CPU cycles. Shutting down and restarting Apple Mobile Device solves the problem and reduces CPU cycles to 0%. (I have written a small batch program to stop and restart the Apple Mobile Device to achieve this.) Does anyone have any thoughts about why the Apple Mobile Device process won't release when the sync is finished?

i deleted itunes and mobile support and now when i reinstall itunes the mobile support does not come back with it as when it tries to install that it just says rolling back after it is almost done
The AMDS install roll-back (on XP) can be caused by old driver componentry "stuck" in the bowels of your OS. If that's what is going on, we can get past this ... but I'm afraid it's a bit of a performance.
First, go into "My Computer". Go "Tools > Folder Options". Go to the view tab.
Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Make sure "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in "My Computer", open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your Operating System is installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
Open the "DRVSTORE" folder.
In there look to see if you have either of the following two folders:
netaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
usbaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
If you find either of them, drag them out onto the desktop. (Don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
Now go back into the "system32" directory.
Open the "Drivers" directory.
Look for either of the following two files:
netaapl.sys
usbaapl.sys
If you see either of them in there, drag them out onto the desktop. (Again, don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
Now restart the PC. Uninstall iTunes again, and then try reinstalling it again. Does Apple Mobile Device Support install this time?

Purchased app on iPhone - disappeared when synced with itunes

I purchased an app on my phone a couple weeks ago. Today I synced with iTunes on my PC and the app disappeared from my phone and does not appear in the list of apps in iTunes. "Check for available downloads" in iTunes said that I had no available downloads. The purchase of the app did show up in my purchase history, but that seemed to be the only place.
I was able to get the app back by attempting to purchase it again, at which point iTunes allowed me to download it again for free. However, all of the application data is still gone. And since I synced more than once in this process, the initial iPhone backup (which should have contained all that was lost) has now been overwritten.
This has happened to me several times before, but this is the first time where the application data has been important.
Any ideas as to what went wrong?
Is there any hope for me to recover my application data at this point?
Any way for me to prevent this happening again? (short of never syncing...)

I doubt very much that you can recover the data at this point. The safe way to do things (I found for me at least) is download apps initially via iTunes instead of your phone, then mark them for syncing and do the normal sync. I purchased all of my apps this way and sync several times a week with no problem. I also do all the app updates thru iTunes.

IPhone5 Notes removed from phone after syncing with iTunes

This morning my wife came to me with her iPhone5 complaining that her notes in the Note app have disappeared. After investigating on her laptop we found them in her Yahoo folders but they weren't on her phone. Strange. I had all my notes on my iPhone5. So we went to work and I researched the issue. Found out that there are a lot of people out there with this same issue. This evening I backed up my iPhone5 wirelessly to my computer. I restored my wife's phone to her last back up that she said had her notes. No good - not there. So I reset her phone back to factory setting and restored from her backup. In the mean time, I plugged my phone in to my computer to check on some setting. Lo and behold, my notes have disappeared too! Of course they are all in Yahoo, but what's strange is that not all of my Yahoo notes disappeared. So it has something to do with syncing with iTunes with the wire, not wirelessly. I just restored my phone to today's backup and I suspect that since I'm tethered to my computer, the restore put them back and iTunes removed them. Since I cannot see the Notes folder in the email app - what good is it to sync them to Yahoo? Ridiculous. So the key is to NOT tether your phone to iTunes and sync wirelessly. Now I am going to have to go through the process of emailing all my notes back to myself and copy them into Notes.
Any one have a better cost-effective solution?

Follow up to my earlier post. It appears that the notes that "disappeared" from my iPhone fit in a certain date range. Seems to be June and July. A note I created in August didn't disappear. So I just emailed the notes from June and July to myself. I created new notes on my iPhone in the Notes app for my Yahoo account. Automagically they appeared in my Yahoo folder and didn't disappear from my iPhone when I synced again. Solution?

Lost 3GB of memory after Syncing with itunes, unable to locate/delete them?

This morning, I did the regular syncing with Itunes, and suddenly I noticed that my Free memory had suddenly dropped from 9.7 to 6.7 Gb
I also noticed while syncing that my iphone is syncing song titles that already exist on my iphone and itunes again for some reason.
after syncing,my free Memory dropped from 9.7 GB to 6.7GB and my OTHER memory went up from 1.36 to 4.36 for some reason.while Music, photos and APP memory stayed the same.
keep in mind the new added 3 GB are exactly the same total memory of my music.
I usually have a total of 14.28 GB out of 16 GB 3GS
music: 3GB
photos 146.9MB
APP:876MB
Others 1.36 GB
Free 9.7 GB
After this morning Sync I Have
Music: 3 GB
APP:876MB
photos 146.9 MB
Others 4.36 GB
Free 6.7 GB
I checked to see if I have duplicates titles of my music in my ipod, and everything was the same.no duplictaes
I am unable to locate the additional 3GB I have under Others in my memory.
Is there a way to break down the memory Status Other in order to see what are the new 3 GB added to my phone?
HOw can I free my phone from the new 3Gb data?
Hoe to locate or delete the new data? any application that can break it down in order to locate the folder with the new data either in itunes or on my iphone?
I tried resorting but I still got the new memory status since I had synced my iphone several times trying to resolve the issue.
any help on this issue is highly appreciated
Regards
Guss

Missing ringtone after sync with iTunes

Hi,
I just bought a new iPhone 5 and I transfered all data from my old iPhone 3GS except for one ring tone which is missing now on both phones after the sync with iTunes! I can't find it anywhere in my iTunes, nor on my old iPhone 3GS which is weird...
I can't see it in my iTunes in my Purchased items. It's like Apple just deleted it entirely.
I found similar problem in topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811069?start=0&tstart=0 where Apple deleted a ringtone which was no longer affiliated with iTunes Store. This can't be the right way to deal with all the content people paid for in past ?
The ringtone is still available in iTunes. It's Royksopp - Happy Up Here.
I paid for this ringtone and I wish to have it back.
Please advice

Have you tried closing the GoodReader app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with GoodReader 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the GoodReader app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

MacBook pro won't shut down only after sync with iTunes?

MacBook pro stays on blue screen with spinning gear when I try to shut down only if I have synced either an iPhone or iPad with iTunes. If i have not synced with iTunes the shut is ok.
Any suggestions would be great :)

I had the same problem and just fixed it.
What I did:
- Launch Disk Utility > Select Macintosh HD > Verify Disk
Let the Verify run until it's done
- If you are seeing any error try the Repair disk
It's possible you need to restart (holding cmd+r while restarting)
- Next I did a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions
- reboot
After this the shutdown issue was gone!
Hope this solves your problem as well.

Mail application (besides Mail.app) that will sync with iTunes?

HEre's the deal:
I run a lot of websites. 50 or so are hosted per dedicated server. Lots of websites means... lots of email addresses. Mail.app in it's infinite wisdon of creating somehting like 4 IMAP connections per email address often crashed the IMAP service on the otherwise exteremely relaiabl;e and well-appointed servers. The ONLY reason I'm still using it at this point is because in addition to running 3 Mac's, I also have the bevvy of iPods, iPhones and iPads. The fact that I can sync my mail withe them is a huge deal and a timesaver to me. Take for instance today. I am launching 2 new sites. I just created the standard 5 email addresses for each sites. That's 10 new email addresses and settings I'd have to put into 3 iOS devices.
So, is there any commercially available Mail application nthat can sync with iTunes? I HAVE to ditch Apple Mail, there's no way aroud that unless they fix the IMAP issue that I've read countless threads of people complaining to Apple about.
I'd like to just do this once... it's going to be a huge pain in my a$$ so any help minimizing that aspect of the move would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook will work.
