Apps not synching

new ipod touch. Unable to sync any apps from computor. Any solution?

iTunes can't find the actual music file. See:

I have this same problem. Only a couple of my songs will sync and about half of the apps. I get a message that says that the songs/apps cannot be found even though they are showing in itunes list. This only happened after I installed the new version of itunes.

Paid for apps not synching to iPod

Well, the title says it all really. I have managed to synch two free apps, but the three paid for apps are definately not on my ipod, despite iTunes showing that they are.
I have been unable to uncheck the box that says synch applications.
I have a third generation touch, running the current software and a pc with Vista.
Any clues, anyone?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I think you may get better luck if you actually *Sign In* to the Apple Store first (Store > Sign in...) using the relevant ID and then use *File > Transfer purchases from X's iPhone* (for a Mac this menu item might be somewhere else).
Here's the relevant support doc:

Messages App Not Synching iMessages

Hi!
I've been using messages for a while now but after updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 8 Messages has stopped loading iMessages I've received.
It goes like this, I will see an iMessage has been received on my lock screen of my iPhone, but when I go to check the Messages app, no new iMessages have come through. iMessages that I send from Messages do not show up in my conversations on my phone, and vice versa. Also I was made aware by a friend, that when I use Messages I somehow start a new text thread with him; now he has two ongoing conversations with me in his texts.
Any idea what's going on? My phone number is synched to my Apple ID, and I'm at a loss.
Thanks!

Are you swiping the Message left in the Lock Screen and going directly to the Messages app?

Ipod touch 4th gen..updated to the most recent iOS and can not synch to get my apps and music back

... my ipod locked up. I found the instructions to reboot. I then had to reset it to factory settings. Now the ipod will not synch to bring back all my apps and music (which I can see on my itunes account). When I connect to the computer with the USB cable, it opens up itunes and goes right to the 'set up your ipod' screen and asks me to restore from a backup. I have done this at least three times. I even dissabled my security / antivirus software and still no success. What steps am I missing?

Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
Apps can be downloaded again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If he still has any backup, for example as part of the computer backup routine, he could restore the settings and data again by replacing the iTunes backup folder. The folder is located here:
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

IPhone 4 upgraded from iPhone 3GS but Apps did not synch after restore...

I have had every iPhone since the very first one - call me crazy... and each time a new one has come out, all I have needed to do is take it home, restore from last back up and voila - all good. This time, no so good - I took the new iPhone 4 home, plugged it in, restored from backup, then selected to synch my iPhone. Now, admittedly, I have 21.4 GB of music, about 4800 songs (which is why I bought the 32Gb phone, again) and it takes quite a while to restore and synch the phone. When the initial synch was complete, iTunes had only copied my music, movies, pics, etc, everything EXCEPT my APPS! So I spent about an hour organizing all my apps into folders and moving them around, then I synched it and all was good 4 days ago. Last night I went to synch my phone and received several errors stating that the phone could not synch and that some files were missing, so I restored from backup, again, and resynched, again, and this time, like last, all my apps were not installed, but only some of the folders were... Am I doing something wrong or is there a trick to get this to work... or maybe some of the apps I have need to be trashed?
Thanks in Advance,

I need to ask, just in case, but are you certain you have enough room for the apps? It seems like you do, but you might have synced some videos or movies that prevent the apps from syncing.
You might have some corrupted Apps too. Don't synch any apps you don't need, and then try again. You're going to have to take some time to sort through it all.

New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S. This a new problem. No problem in the past

Purchased new apps on ipad. Purchases did not synch with iphone 4. Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s. this is a new problem. I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.

It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Ipod touch 4th gen not synching?

When I tried to synch my ipod it told me that there were 3 apps I could not synch to my ipod because they werent compatible. I have used these apps forever and they just started this. The apps were ibooks, tumblr, and aviary photo editor. I think it said something about my ipod being out of date or something so looked to see what version my itunes and ipod were and I noticed that my ipod and my itunes were not up to the most current version but every time I clicked update it said it was up to date. So i went on the site and downloaded it from there and somehow finally got my ipod up to (6.1.5) and my itunes to (11.1.3). But it still kept saying the apps could not synch to my ipod and meanwhile new songs that I downloaded on my ipod werent synching wither. Si I said screw those apps all I care about are my new songs synching so I deleted those apps. But now those new songs still arent synching and Ive noticed if I delete an app on my itunes or on the ipod they are translating over which leads me to assume the apps arent synching so maybe nothing is synching. However when I watch it synch it seems to go through the 6 synching stages (wait for synch to start, prepare to synch, determining apps to synch, determining tracks to synch, waiting for changes to be applied, and sometimes it will say finishing synch). But no matter what my new songs wont go on there and then since I deleted ibooks it keeps telling me I cant read books on my ipod now, i really dont care about reading books but either way it gives me a message that i either cant read them anymore or the app isnt compatible. Can someone help me make my itouch synch correctly please?
Sorry for the super long explanation.

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Next try restoring from backup.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
Regarding apps, some apps have been updated and the updated apps require iOS 7. However, you should be able to redownload the last compatible version via the iPod. See:

Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4. I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago. I do not have an iPhone, but that's next. I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
The issue:
Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on. BUT, this depends:
     a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
     b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
     i.e Assume MacBook is powered off. I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM. If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook. However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
Confused? So am I. To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3. I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago. I do not know if this is related.
Another issue: SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order. In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM). Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification). Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM). Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices). One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar. For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above. I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
Thanks,
HankSTL
ps. I may post to several communities so if you see this message in several communities, I am just trying to get the best coverage.

The same thing is happening to me.
And it's similar to this thread:

IPhone calendar event issue- not synching across iCloud

Events created on my iPhone will not sync across iCloud to display on my Calendar App on my iPad or on my laptop.
iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.3 - this started yesterday with no changes having been made to any of my iCloud settings. On my laptop I get a new icon displays in my doc - see attached image, but when I click on it it just goes away and the new event is not synched. If I don't click on this icon, it eventually disappears and the event is also not added to my calendar.
I Can create events on my iPad and laptop and have them show on my phone. I can create Notes on my iPhone and they sync across devices.
I have tried changed the iPhone calendarsync settings from 'Events 1 Month Back' to 'All Events' and vice versa. On the iPhone I have turned Off synching of calendars, waited and re-enabled synching. I have cycled power to my iPhone.

Thanks Sterling - I've read through both those articles and performed all the troubleshooting steps in the iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support article. I have verified bluetooth is on, I'm on the same wireless network, same iCloud account signed into on all devices, etc.
Still new events entered on my iPhone do not get added to my laptop or iPad calendar. The handoff icon shows in my doc, but it does not put the new event onto the calendar.
Through some more testing, I have also found the same issue with reminders; if I create one on my iPhone it will not be displayed on my laptop or iPad.
Again I have no problems creating these on my laptop or iPad and having them show on All my devices, including my iPhone. And another family member can create them on their iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3 and they come across to all my devices; laptop, iPad and my iPhone5.
Please advise what else I can do, as not being able to create events or reminders on my iPhone and have them sync across devices is a problem.

IPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones

Problem: iPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones. Contacts synch fine. Was no problem in the past until...
Sorry for the length. Trying to give all info I can.
Summary: Had to get motherboard fixed under factory warranty which included new hard drive, and reinstall everything on an HP DV7 laptop. So this is a clean installation of everything on the laptop (Win7). Configuring iTunes and Outlook 2010 for two iPhone 4S users (myself and wife) was my last step. Re-established each user account to iTunes. Calendar synch problem popped up on one of two iPhones that did not exist before.
Prior history: all synchs worked great prior to the clean install and I never had a problem.
Config: Windows 7, two iPhone 4S, Week Calendar apps on both. All software up-to-date on iPhones and Win7 (fanatic about that). Had OL2010 PST datafile backups and simply used them for the OL re-installs. OL2010 makes that easy. Each user has their own Win7 login to keep our stuff separate. Of course, OL has Calendar as part of its install.
Week Calendar apps on both are configured with same calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Verified each iPhone Calendars app, Calendar button: From My PC listing has all these checked: All From My PC, Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work; Other: Birthdays.
Difference: In using iTunes to synch, iTunes said the iPhone account was different from the OL account and asked to merge or replace. Apparently this is normal for iTunes on a new install (since basically it is) synching to prior synched stuff.
iTunes settings for both: Connect iPhone for each user and checked INFO settings for Contacts and Calendars.I used “selected calendars” and verified. Each user has all four calendars checked.
NOTE: Prior to each users first synch below, neither user had anything in OL2010 Calendar. Can't blame on recurring events problems in OL. ALL the events are on the iPhones and are being synched TO the PC to populate OL2010 Calendars.
Additional Note: Contacts was already loaded into OL from my backups so synching has no problem.
User 1 iPhone: Success 1st try.
In iTunes, selected “merge info” instead of replace.
Results: User 1 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 including the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). 4 calendars showed up. No problems at all. Wonderful! expected behavoir.
User 2 iPhone: Still failing to synch.
In iTunes, selected “replace” instead of merge info. Apple’s dialog is incredibly confusing and non-explicit on what copies to what and what it does.
Results: User 2 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 for Contacts. DID NOT synch the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Only calendar that shows up in OL is Calendar and it doesn’t contain any data. iTunes has no errors and the synch status bar indicates everything went fine.
Tried: I deleted the PST files and copied the backup files back to OL to start over. ITUNES no longer gives me the merge info versus replace option. I’ve synched multiple times but the calendar data will not synch.
Not Tried: Creating the same remaining named calendars (Home, My Birthdays, Work) in OL and trying again.
ALL suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Ok, new info. This gets better and better.
In OL2010, the Calendar in the navigation pane had no arrow indicating it had subcalendars within it. I right clicked on Calendar and chose New Calendar. It gave me a list of the existing calendars that were missing !!
When I cancelled, there was an expand arrow next to Calendar in the Navigation pane !!!!!
Expanding it showed the unchecked missing calendars. I checked them and synched again.
WRONG THING TO DO! ALL my wife's calendar entries in her iPhone since the laptop went down 3 weeks ago DISAPPEARED. No warnings, nothing at any step of this process. The OL files overwrote the iPhone data.
I can't find any way to get them back as this **** iStuff relies on iTunes for everything.
Is there any way to get her files back from before this synch?
Is there no way to save data files off the iPhone w/o iTunes?
Why doesn't iTunes let you control the direction of data transfer?
I now have one very ****** off wife.

ITunes 7.3.2 (OSX) and 5th Gen iPod not synching

I have had my 5th gen iPod (30GB) for about 2 years now and originally had used it with Windows, then I switched over to a Mac in Feb and have been pretty happy. Normally i synch my iPod daily to get my playlists updated (so I don't listen to the same thing all the time) and so I can get new Podcasts that were downloaded. Before I left for work this morning, I was able to synch my iPod with no problem, when I was about to synch it before I went to bed, it will not synch. When I try to put in the iPod, iTunes then crashes. I try to put in the iPod and let iTunes open automatically, it loads then crashes again. I have rebooted both the Mac and did a reset on my iPod, but can't even perform a restore since before iTunes would pop up the iPod section, it crashes first. it IS mac formatted. i don't know what is going on and what chnged from this morning to this evening and why suddenly it doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I deleted both iTunes and Quicktime7, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled QT then iTunes. Still getting the same issue. Still "crashing" when the iPod is connected.
This is some of the information from the bug report that I thought might be helpful to figure out what went wrong (didn't want to include ALL the crash report, so I just included the info before the "thread crashed" details and the system info at the bottom):

My iPhone 4s is not synching with contacts in outlook for mac. Suggestions?

My iphone was synching contacts and appointments with outlook for mac just fine via iCloud, but now it's not. I added the Pushmail app and that's when I noticed the change, so I deleted the app. Still it's not synching. I have the latest version of iTunes and the most recent iPhone OS and Mac OS/X 10.7.2. So now I have to attach the iPhone to my macbook. So how do I get back "in-sync" with iCloud?

I did assure that Outlook is set as my default email program before I posted this.

Photos and Music on external HD do not synch with Snow Leopard upgrade.

I upgraded to Snow Leopard several months ago. I keep my music and photos on an external HD (WD My Passport). Since the upgrade most of my music does not synch and Faces. Can someone help me resolve this? My family has 4 iPods that I can't fully synch and I can't organize any of my nearly 9000 photos into Faces categories (one of the main reasons I bought Aperture).
The error message I get on a large amount of my songs on iTunes when I try to play them from my library is "The Song XXX cannot be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It will occur to entire albums or only on a few songs within an album". Several of my Apps do not synch as well.
When I try to assign Faces in Aperture, normally after you enter the same name on a handful of photos it will start to 'recognize' the face and ask if the photo is "xxx". No matter how many times I enter a name, it fails to recognize the face within the album or in other albums. Entering thousands of names by hand, rather than clicking "Confirm" is rather cumbersome.
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. I have been to the Genius bar several times and after more than 5 hours still have no resolution.
Thank you very much.

As a sidenote; be aware that you will need to update or even upgrade some of your third-party software, Adobe especially, and you will need to ensure you install Rosetta (additional installations) if you're still using Appleworks or other PPC applications. SL doesn't support Classic.
Peripherals like scanners and printers will almost certainly need updated drivers, if they're available. Many manufacturers won't support kit that's more than 3 years old.
