Apps showing on computer but won't sync to i-pod

Hope someone can help .... I had a 4th generation i-pd touch for xmas and couldn't wait to get started with apps. I have downloaded several free apps which appear in my i-tunes on the computer but when I attach the i-pod it says it is syncing but the apps don't appear on my i-pod
HELP!! I'm not very tech savvy and don't know what to do ....

When the iPod is connected to iTunes,you should see the Summary screen. Just along from the title Summary you should see the Apps pane. Select that and check the box to Sync Apps. Make sure you actaully Sync after that.

My iPod had music on it previously from my old computer but won't sync the new music I bought on my new laptop? The songs I bought appear in the library, but they won't sync onto my iPod?

I'm going on a hike tomorrow with my dad and I'd been reluctant to download iTunes on my new laptop but finally decided to install it so I could have new music for the trip. I bought nearly ninety new songs, all of which appeared in my library, and on my account they are shown with my old songs. But my iPod isn't syncing the new music? Really I planned to start from scratch and not have them together, but that would be fine if they would just download. I don't understand. They're in my library, but won't download to my iPod.

Hi avmary11,
If your are having issues with your iPod not being recognized by iTunes (but it is being recognized by the computer), you may find the following article helpful:

I have downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they no longer sync with my iPod touch. They play on the computer but won't sync

I downloaded a bunch of CDs into iTunes but they wont sync withe my itouch. It used to work but won't anymore.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Ipod recognized by computer but won't sync

I have a 120 gb 6th generation ipod that i bought off ebay. It worked well for a few months but i started having problems with it freezing while scrolling or playing songs. Then it started having minor problems syncing in itunes. In compliance with itunes troubleshooting i preformed the five r's. Upon my restore the ipod stopped syncing with itunes all together. I have searched through countless articles with no avail. I have reinstalled itunes, reset the ipod, run check disk, and nothing seems to work. My ipod is recognized in "My computer" and even auto opens itunes when plugged into the computer, but itunes does not recognize the ipod.
Please help!
I ran S.M.A.R.T. status and these are my results

apparently the guy i bought it from on ebay baked it in the sun!
Now i have no return policy and no warranty from apple. After my recent restore (which removed everything), i am left with a $200 paperweight.

Seems there are some bad sectors on the hard drive of your iPod, see you can find a mac computer and do a format there ..
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes and click “Restore”

My iPad is recognised by my computer but won't sync properly. Some syncing seems to be going on in the info bar at the top of my computer, but nothing happens on the iPad....I.e. no message that says syncing is taking place. It is an iPad 1

My iPad doesn't seem to sync properly with my computer (vista home). Although some sort of back-up syncing seems to be happening in the bar at the top of iTunes, no syncing message appears on my iPad. I am trying to sync some music on my computer to my iPad. The computer recognises my iPad and appears to be doing something but the usual message on the iPad saying that syncing is taking place doesn't appear.

Hello Demo, thanks for your response. I am signed in with the same ID and there are no restrictions on whats synced.
The difference now when I connect is that (a) nothing shows on my iPad, also (b) ' ' Autoplay' opens up for some reason...this didn't happen before. Also no tabs open up to give me any choices. The only thing that happens when I connect is that the little syncing bar at the top is active for about 30 seconds....backing up or syncing and then finishes.
The main thing which intrigues me is that no message re syncing appears on my iPad. I've searched the help tutorials but nothing seems to quite match my problem, best wishes, Madge

Since ios5 my purchased music is showing on itunes but won't sync to my phone

Hi
Since dowloading ios 5 I've had loads of sync issues with my iPhone 3GS.
The latest is that any music that I've purchased, though showing and playing in iTunes will not sync to py phone, even though some of it was purchased using my phone. Any help please?

with your device connected go to iTunes > Music > click the sync music button, see if this helps.

Are the apps checked to be synced to the iPod and did you click on the sync button in Tunes?
Were the apps purchased fro the same accoubnt signed into in the iPod?
Are the apps compatible witht he iPOd model and iOS version?
Do you have restrictions set that prohibit instaling apps?

Why I can download app on a computer, but not on an iPad?

Hi all
I bought my mom an iPad Mini, as a Christmas gift and I am trying to set it up for her. Well in any event I was hoping to load the mobile app for her bank on to said iPad. Problem I am finding is that when I do a search for First Interstate in the App Store on her iPad I get no results, while I find it using iTunes on my stepdad's Mac Mini. Did not see this, as a problem, because I thought I could just sync the iPad to the Mac Mini and thus load the app. Well I get message stating the I need a newer version of iTunes, but said version requires a newer version on Mac OSX. Any reason why I can download this app on the computer, but no on the iPad? I may a work around with my MacBook Pro, but I am hoping she won't need to do this.

If I'm looking at the correct app then it's optimised for the iPhone - when you do the search in the App Store apps on the iPad, on the results screen tap the 'iPad Only' button at the top left of the screen and select 'iPhone Only' instead and it should then show.

Album uploaded to Itunes match, plays on computer but won't play on ipod, no cloud symbol next to songs. Press play on 1 track and it skips through the album without playing. I've tried deleting the album from PC and downloading again from match and even after syncing the album won't play on the ipod
iPod touch, iOS 6.1

I've just connected the ipod to my computer and checked the music on the iPod. The album that I am having trouble with shows an exclamation symbol next to it. I've tried deleting the album from iTunes and re downloading it then syncing but it doesn't appear to affect the information shown the iPod. The album neither deletes nor updates.

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

When I receive an email request for a meeting, when I open it I get an error message asking if I want to revert to server, try again or ignore. If I choice revert to server it deletes the event, if I choice ignore it accepts it but won't sync with my other devices.

Interesting suggestion, but it's not clear to me how I would do that if I'm not using an "(at) icloud.com" email address/account. I am having the same problem with changed invitations that come from an organizer who is using Google Apps. My email account is hosted at my ISP - it's not obvious to me how I can use iCloud to access that email account (and therefore the changed invitation). Suggestions?

IBook shows as downloaded but won't open

I downloaded a book from iBooks it shows as downloaded but won't open?

Hello Coastalcharm
Start with the troubleshooting in the article below and simply restart your iPhone or iPad. If that does not work, then try deleting the book and download the book again. You may end up having to delete iBooks and install it again.

TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed. In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working. I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.
