Apps won't sync with iPhone!

HELP!! Does anyone know why my iPhone won't sync my apps? My applications screen on my computer won't allow me to do anything-it has frozen! Everything else is syncing(music, videos) just not the apps. Please help!

Hello Steve,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
This question has been asked and answered several times. Check my post in this thread for steps to resolve this type of issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8957337#8957337
One thing I may not have mentioned in that thread. Is the option to Sync Applications actually checked in the Applications Tab for your iPhone? I've seen the checkmark absent in the past.

Apps won't sync with iphone 4

So quite a few are having this issue I see.
Well I got an iphone 4 after squashing my i-phone like a bug. My issue is none of my apps will sync.

I had the same problem. Then I noticed that after installing my iPhone 4G, my iTunes software on the PC reset the location of my iTunes Library to the default on my C: drive. However, my iTunes Library is actually on my F: drive. So once I made the folder location change in EDIT > PREFERENCES > ADVANCED > iTunes Media Folder Location, everything started working correctly again. And I was finally able to sync all my apps. Hope this helps...

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
(I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)

I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.

Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

Please,please, help,
My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone

I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
Any help would be appreciated.

I bought a concert bootleg direct from the artist
Then it is not a bootleg!
I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone. I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch. WHy can't I get these songs on there?
It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate.
First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer. If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version." Use the new AAC version with your iPhone.

Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5. How can I refresh them so they will all sync together. I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro. I turned iCloud off then on again. I also turned calendars on and off again. Then the event disappeared from my iPad also. So now it is only on my iPhone 5. How do I sync ical with all my devices?

Anna,
I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

Ical won't sync with iPhone. I can't reset sync history in Lion anymore?

i'm pulling my hair out! my ical just won't sync with my iphone anymore. i wanted to reset sync history as suggested in some forums but lion doesn't have isync anymore.
it is so frustrating as it is supposed to be easy to sync apple products!
any ideas?
thanks again
ian

Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
Much appreciated John,
Ian

Playlists won't sync with iPhone

Playlists created in iTunes 11.3 won't sync with my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1.2. I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4 and connecting the iPhone via USB.
Playlists created in the iPhone will sync to iTunes but if I add songs in iTunes, they are not added to the iPhone during sync.
Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

Some videos from Aperture won't sync with iPhone

All the photos from Aperture (about 14,000) sync just fine to my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2, as do 282 of the 289 videos I have in Aperture. However, there are 7 videos that will not sync; after the sync process, iTunes gives me an error message that the video couldn't be synced since they couldn't be played back on the iPhone or iPad. The videos are all 50MB or less, all in the proper .m4v format using the H.264 codec. Other videos taken with the same camera and converted using HandBrake to .m4v using H.264 sync just fine. The videos play back just fine in Aperture, QuickTime, and iTunes.
I have tried removing all photos from the phone and re-adding them. I have tried deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder from the Aperture library package. I have reinstalled iTunes. I even tried re-converting them in HandBrake to another .m4v file using H.264 but that wouldn't sync either. No matter what I try, these same 7 videos won't sync for some reason, even though similar videos, some from the same exact camera, converted the same exact way, sync just fine.
Anybody experiencing anything similar? More importantly, anybody have a fix or solution? Thanks in advance!

Looks like its a software issue with the latest Itunes patch. I see several people are reporting this problem on the page and yet no solutions currently exist to address it. I tried several possiblities myself with no success. The only remaining solutions I can see are to "reset" your device and try to sync all appropriate apps, music, photos, etc.. once again. Two wait for the next patch, or three to attempt a recovery from a previous back up on your computer.
I do not have the time currently to attempt the ones I can do. If anyone wishes to try and can report a success I think many of us would appreciate it.

Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync. The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected? I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices. Any ideas?? I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad. hanks.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Apps won't sync with iTunes 12.1.2

(iMac with OS X 10.10.3, iTunes 12.1.2.27; iPhone with iOS 8.3)
After upgrading to OS X 10.10.3, all the apps in my iTunes library were gone (music was still there). I transferred the apps on my iPhone back to the library, and downloaded the rest of the previously purchased apps from the App Store.
I then updated the apps in the library. In the iTunes App panel for the phone, those apps are now marked "Update". But when I sync the iPhone, the updated apps do not transfer to the phone.
Rebooted both computer and phone, no effect. Any ideas?

Ditto. Even the new 2.0.1 firmware made no difference. I've had no luck with iTunes in this dept at all. I can download apps to the phone, but they won't sync back to iTunes. If I download apps to iTunes, not only will they not transfer to the phone, but all the apps on the phone get wiped w/o warning.
I've tried the following per Apple suggestions, but to no avail:
- Reset iPhone (the home and lock button method)
- Remove (I manually deleted all content little by little)
- Reset Settings (done thru software, don't know how this differs from "reset iPhone" above)
- Restore - a Huge pain in the *** for nothing. Took forever and obviously I then had to manually put all my songs, ringtones, contacts and photos back on it.
What else is there left to try?

ITunes apps won't sync with iPad without deleting all the apps already on the iPad!

I've been using my iPad with iCloud sync for a while and now have decided to go back to iTunes sync. I have a bunch of apps i downloaded on the iPad from its app store and want to keep them. However, when i go to the Itunes app section (which is grayed out) and select the sync apps button, all the apps on my iPad in the preview screen disappear!!! How can i sync apps from my computer and keep the apps already on the iPad?
