Apps removed during sync WHY?

I dont sync my iPod touch to my computer very often, but I did today and while it was syncing it deleted a bunch of my apps. WHY? I mean, what reason would there be for this? I HATE when computer software automatically does something for me. Why can't it ASK ME before it does something like this? why does it have to automatically sync like that anyway? I have it set to not sync the music like that because of issues exactly like this.

This only got one of the apps back on there... Facebook.... the others are still nowhere to be seen. I just dont understand what the problem could be. I mean, why would apps just dissapear?

Tried to reinstall itunes and got apple application support not found. i have a folder on my desktop of apps removed during a refresh and all my apple stuff is in that folder.

Im running windows 8 on my desktop. i tried to reinstall itunes and when i open it i get the following message " Apple Application Support not found, Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes". I have a folder on my desktop that has files in it that says Apps removed during refresh and there is Apple files in there. Im guessing this could be a windows issue but Im not to good with computers. Any help would be great.

Hello agerveler,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like we may need to do a complete removal of iTunes and its components, followed by a reinstall. Follow the instructions in the following article to resolve your issue:

Everytime i Sync ipad or iphone after restarting computer the music and movie boxes have been automatically unchecked. Then if i check it it ask remove and sync.Why is this happening?

As question the says itunes keeps unchecking the movies and music boxes and i then have to "remove and Sync" then reselect the movies i want to watch. Movies is set to allow me to selct only what I want and music is sync all music. I appreciate any help.

Hmm. That sounds easy enough... but how do I backup to the new computer when it doesn't give me the option? When I connect the iPad via USB, it asks me to:
• set up as a new IPad
• restore from a previous backup (where the only backup listed in the drop down menu is a stolen iPad with outdated information, dated April of 2011. It doesn't ask to restore from iCloud where this current iPad is backed up.)
If you're suggesting that I back up both devices to iCloud and then wipe them, then plug them into the new computer and restore from the iCloud backup, so that my new computer considers these new devices, that makes sense... except that I don't see an option to restore from iCloud. Does that option appear later? And is it absolutely certain that any app I have entered data into will restore that information as well, and not just the app? For example, if I have an index card app which I make essay notes in, will those notes definitely be backed up along with the app? Or just the app? I can't afford to lose all my work data.
Thanks.

Purchased apps deleted during sync; restoring from app store doesn't work

Hi. New iPad, syncing with OS10.5, iTunes 10.1.2
Purchased some apps (NYTimes, Pages, Sketchbook Pro) on iPad during trip. Came home and sync'ed. Apps deleted (along with data?), although free apps still present. Re-purchasing from iTunes allows me to pay full price. Account activity shows the apps were purchased. Download queue is clear. I'm logged in to my only Apple account.
I haven't yet tried to restore the iPad from iTunes, as I'm afraid of losing data.
I lost some paintings I did and a eulogy for my step mom. Any help restoring this stuff would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click: *Reset Warnings* and *Reset cache*, click OK.
purchasing from iTunes allows me to pay full price.

Retrieve notes removed during syncing

I recently synced my ipod and lost all of my notes - is there any way to retrieve them?

Do you use iCloud? If yes, disable it. You could also restore from backup.

I have an iphone with the app GOOD to read e-mails. I sync to my other PC having first updated itunes. During sync it reported that it had removed GOOD, with out asking. Any ideas?

With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.

Why did iTunes delete 2000 photos during Sync, even with 1 GB free space

I am having real headaches with Sync function in iPhone/iTunes. The 2 biggest problems concern Contacts and Photos.
Photos: I used to have 4465 photos on my iPhone, using 1.47 GB at a time when my iPhone still had 0.67 GB free capacity out of its 29.3 GB total. About a week ago, while syncing with iTunes, I saw the error message on my PC stating that there is not enough space on my iPhone to copy all photos. At the end of that sync, I was left with only 2072 photos using 0.78 GB, while the free capacity on my iPhone increased to 1.6 GB. I have synced at least 10 times since then to try and recover my photos, I have deleted the 2.4 GB photo cache, but exactly the same error message and issues happen. Please help get my photos back into my iPhone!!?
Contacts: my iPhone is the principal device on which I put new contacts or update existing ones. After syncing, sometimes I see that the new information entered into my iPhone is no longer there. And so I lose contact with people, since I have no other records! That’s really frustrating.
I have tried upgrading my iPhone software from current v4.02 to the latest v4.1, but for the 5 times that I have tried my WiFi has timed out, and so still not upgrade, as Murphy Law would have it!

I guess I should have included a little more info:
1. I only have 1 appleID
2. I only have 1 apple device (the one iphone, nothing else)
3. I only sync on one computer (VERY annoying you cant use more than 1!!)
4. I never have any other problems during syncing and don't change any settings
5. I downloaded the app again so it is back.
I am not asking how to get the app back, I just want to know WHY itunes deleted this app. This is the second or 3rd time it has happened and it is really annoying.
I also would like to get my files back. So again, I'd like to know why itunes deleted the app and if it deleted my files as well.
The most important part of this is to find out WHY this happened so that it wont happen again. It seems to be a pretty simple operation: Plug the iphone in, itunes opens and does a sync. It almost always works perfectly, I never change any settings. Yet every once in a while it deletes a newly installed app so obviously something is wrong. If I can find out what I did wrong, then I can avoid it in the future.
Thanks!
Scott

My apps won't sync to my ipod, any ideas why?

I've downloaded a heap of new apps but they won't sync to my ipod. when i drag them onto new pages and hit sync, everything else will sync on but the apps remove themeselves. I hace no idea why, so if anyone else does know, please help me out.

Are the apps compatible with your mode iPod and its iOS?
Have you successfully synced apps from this iTunes library/computer before? While you can add music and videos from any iTunes library, you can only sync apps from the one syncing computer you can have.

HT1727 How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process). My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone

How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.

IPhone not removing played podcasts during sync(using the unplayed feature)

Hi folks,
I listen to a lot of podcasts. When I used an iPod the sync unplayed option. Once I listened to a podcast it was removed (saving space for more podcasts). With my iPhone I've got the options set up correctly (i.e. set at Sync Unplayed) but podcasts are not removed once I play them.
I called up Apple support and their Tier II were able to confirm the problem and are sending it up to their engineers. Hopefully that'll mean a fix in the next software update.

I am having the same problem.
iTunes transfers all of my podcasts to my 2nd Gen iPod Nano (and replacement 3rd Gen iPod Nano), regardless if I specify 1, 3, or 5 “most recent” podcasts or even completely disable podcast syncing altogether.
How do I know all my podcasts are being transferred?
1. I see that iTunes is copying them during “Sync”
2. The podcasts (almost 3 GB total if iTunes transfers all of my podcasts, under 100MB normally) take up space on my 4GB 2nd Gen iPod Nano, preventing me from syncing my music and audiobooks (around 2.22 GB)
3. On my 2nd Gen iPod Nano, illicit podcasts can be found via “Artist”, “Album”, “Song”, etc.
4. I see the podcast files when browsing my iPod using third-party software.
What have I tried to fix this?
1. Closed and reopened iTunes
2. Checked to make sure I had the most recent version of iTunes
3. Checked to make sure I had the most recent version of the iPod Software (1.1.3)
4. Downloaded and reinstalled iTunes (7.6.29)
5. Reset my iPod
6. Restored my iPod from iTunes
7. Reformatted and then restored my iPod
8. Deleted and restored my entire iTunes Library via Time Machine
9. Exported, deleted and re-imported my entire iTunes Library
10. Deleted and re-subscribed to my podcasts
11. Reinstalled OS X 10.5 (“Erase and Reinstall”)
12. Purchased a 3rd Generation iPod Nano
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open iTunes 7.6
2. Delete all podcasts, move files to trash
3. Connect iPod Nano
4. Uncheck podcast syncing and apply settings
5. Subscribe to podcast via iTunes Store
6. Sync
7. Watch as the podcasts are synced to my iPod
5. Confirm using third-party software (or browse to tracks on 2nd Gen iPod Nano via “Artist”, “Album”, “Song”, etc.)

In tune show all summary activity during sync between nb and apple device. One of the summary is memory space status. Audio mayb3gb, photo 2gb, app with 3gb. What is other? Other consist of what type of file?

In tune show all summary activity during sync between nb and apple device. One of the summary is memory space status. Audio mayb3gb, photo 2gb, app with 3gb. What is other? Other consist of what type of file? It show quite substantial storage capacity?? Anyone can answer what is in other??

"Other" includes data such as contact information and photos assigned to contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cookies/history, notes created with the Notes application, SMS messages, email stored locally or cached, and 3rd party application data created and stored by the application.
If "other" is more than say .75GB at the most, you had a corrupt sync. Try syncing again and if the problem persists, the recognized fix for this is to restore your iPad.

Why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

Because ipod touch will sycn with one computer at a time. Syncing to another wil erase the current content.
You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
You can redownload apps:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
