Apps not on iTunes library but on iPhone 5S

Note: when I first created this message a screwup on the keyboard posted the message before I had written more than two sentences. I hope no one responded to my incomplete message.
For some time now when I elect to install a new iOS release (not at 7.1.1), iTunes always tells me (both iPhone 5S snd iPad Mini) that there are apps on the iOS device that are not from my iTunes library? Since I install all apps throught iTunes or from the iOS device purchase, how can this be. I have never broken into iOS to install except by the standard accepted Apple process.
So far, each time, I cancel the update, do a full backup of the device to my desktop computer iTunes (version 11.1.5 (S)). This time after the backup sync, iTunes transfers 56 purchased apps from my phone according progress status in iTunes.
Several questions:
1. How can I get a list of all the apps in my library AND all the apps on my iOS device, so I can know what I've got in case things get corrupted so I can do a complete restore.
2. Why is it reporting apps that are not in my iTunes library. Every app on my devices were purchased in ITunes on my iMac desktop (OS X 10.9.2) or from the app store icon on my devices home screen?
Without the list I asked for, I'm afraid taht if things go 'south' I won't be able to get back all the apps I purchased. There are so many apps in the store (not a compllaint but an observation on the size of the task), that I have no idea how I would know which are missing.
How can I get this fixed so I can backup my devices and be confident that I won't lose things. I allow backup from WiFi (my personal WiFi in my home) when the iOS device is attached to the power. This happens nightly for my iPhone when I put it in the charge by my bed. And at least weekly for my iPad which I plug in as it needs charging.
Thanks,
Bruce

Well, your post is very long, so I didn't read the whole thing in detail.
But here are the answers to your two questions.
1. You can see the apps in your iTunes library by clicking the "Apps" tab toward the upper left of iTunes (it may say "Music" to begin ... then there is a drop down list). You can see all the apps on your iOS device in one of two ways:
a. Swipe through the various home screen pages on your iOS device and note them.
b. While your iPhone is plugged into iTunes, click the "Apps" tab behind the iPhone's summary tab.
2. Assuming every one of your apps was purchased using the same Apple ID and password, apps that were purchased or updated on your iOS device will not appear in your iTunes library until you back up the iOS device. You can get apps that you purchase on your iOS device to download automatically to iTunes by doing iTunes > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps = "check" from iTunes. But I don't think this would capture app updates.

Hey! I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes. I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted. What do I do?

The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID. First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes. Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed. If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID. Then, connect the iPad. Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice. Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated. Post back and we'll go from there.

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.

How to make an app deleted from iTunes library be deleted from all the iOS devices synced with this library?

Hello!
I have 3 iOS devices synced with iTunes apps library (OS X 10.10.2)
Can someone tell me how to make not only added but deleted apps be synced also? I mean I want an app deleted in iTunes library be deleted from any iOS devices synced with this library.

But it was working some time before! What and when has changed?
There was even a warning popup window something about "this application will be deleted from all the devices synced with this library"
Now there's opposite message - "This application will not be deleted from any device syncing with this account". Isn't it some kind of clue that there can be conrarily circumstances - when application IS deleted from ANY device synced with this computer?

Can I store the apps in my iTunes library on an external hdd but keep my music on my mac

can I store the apps in my iTunes library on an external hdd but keep my music on my mac?
thanks

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
- Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
- Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPOd from that backup
She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

I checked my iphone It showed them. also the bar in itunes shows a striped bar indication how long they will take.

How burn data CD or DVD with documents/songs not in iTunes Library?

How do I burn data CD/DVD with items not located in iTunes Library? Prior to the update to iTunes 8.0.2, I could burn Data CDs/DVD from my desktop - these were documents files, and audiobooks/songs not located in iTunes Library. Now I can't get the burn preferences window to show up. Something has changed in the iTunes 8.0.2 update which keeps me from burning anything that is not in iTunes library. Please advise. Thank you.

Dear Zevoneer,
As a test, I created a New Burn Folder on the desktop, transferred aliases for music and documents not in iTunes Library, totaling about 2.5GB. I burned all on to a 4.7 GB DVD-R. Everything burned properly and quickly as usual. And each item is an accurate replica of my files.
Perhaps I was wrong in thinking that a few months ago when I burned non-iTunes Library items, I always got a Burn Preferences Window on my desktop. No matter, it all went well. And I also learned that we now burn songs in iTunes only via the playlist window, where "Burn" brings on the Burn preferences choices.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Generosa

How can i transfer my new purchased itunes apps to my itunes library

actually having several problems, installed itunes on a new computer, have transfered/sync all of my existing ipod touch apps/music successfully. I purchased new apps and a movie, but they do not appear on my itunes library, how can i transfer these new purchases, to my new itunes library on the new computer, so they can be synced to my ipod touch. also, my computer is online and my ipod is online, but when i connect the ipod touch to my computer, and i try to update the software update, it says it cant because its not connected to the internet?...any info on either of these topics. thanks

Welcome to the discussions,
as already mentioned, use File->transfer purchases to copy your apps and bought media to your computer, or right click on the device in the device list and choose "transfer purchases"
To make sure that iTunes can contact the Apple server, check your security settings as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

Two copies of the same album on iPhone (but not in iTunes library) ?

Something very wierd is going on...
In my iTunes library there are 2 albums which appear to be duplicated on my iPhone.
In my iTunes library there is only one copy of the following two albums...
1. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
2. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
Yet on my iPhone these 2 albums are duplicated.
When viewing on the iPhone in coverflow, the albums appear as...
1. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
2. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
3. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
4. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
Even stranger, when viewing in Album view (phone held in potrait mode) one album appears 3 times...
1. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
2. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
3. Armin Van Buuren - Imagine (11 tracks)
And the other album appears 2 times...
1. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
2. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers (10 tracks)
Yet when I look at the music on my iPhone using iTunes (Devices->iPhone->Music), these tracks are not duplicated.
I cannot work out what the **** is going on.
Can anyone help ?

See One cover, too many tracks and One album, too many covers. A tiny spelling discrepancy in the Artist or *Album Artist* field is making one part of the iPod app see two copies of the album, the *Greatest Hits* "bug" then gives each copy of the album all of the tracks rather than just those with the matching value of Artist/Album Artist.

Media Browser does not load iTunes Library

I was on GarageBand today and was trying to drag a song from my iTunes (via Media Browser) and nothing showed under my iTunes (playlists, songs, etc.) and I have over 4000 items on iTunes.
I also was trying to upload an attachment on GMail and media browser did not show my iTunes library there either. My screensaver is my album artwork and now it says that I do not have any album artwork. WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Thought all these problems were connected to each other so I thought I would put it all on one thread.

Media Browser not showing iTunes library

The media browser, which is a system-wide open dialogue feature in OSX has been failing to show the iTunes library in my main (but not admin) account. It shows photos and movies just fine, but nothing from iTunes. Garageband files yes, but iTunes library nope. For example if I wanted to add music to a slideshow I can pull down to iTunes but nothing is there. Same if I wanted to attach an .mp3 to an email, or add music to a movie. Same thing happens in Chrome, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc. Interesting, it is unique to this user account. I've tried it in another user account that has an iTunes library and it worked just fine. Any idea on how to fix this? I'm guessing there's a preference somewhere I could delete that could rebuild it. I don't want to trash any iTunes library files as I have spent years building playlists, metadata, stats, etc. Thanks for your help.
I'm using the latest versions of OSX, Safari/Chrome, iTunes, the iLife '11 suite, and the iWork suite.

Nobody?
Weirdly enough, I have to add it works in a few select 3rd party apps, like Audacity. However, it still does not work in any Apple apps nor the trial of Capo, a music app, which is why I'm looking for a fix.
