Authorizing and Deauthorizing for apps?? (Not music.. there seems to be a difference- I've already de and reauthorized for music)

I recently got a new macbook Pro and am having trouble syncing my apps. My last computer has been reset.
I have already deauthorized my 5 computers going to account info and selecing that... This seems to only apply to music. I still get a message when trying to sync apps that the apps that the computer is not authorize for many of my apps and then get the error telling me I "cannot authorize more than 5 computers". I am not going to be able to do this and it looks like what works for the music in this case (deauthorizing all 5) does not apply to apps.
Now what???
These are not all cheap apps.. some are $10 so there is no way I am buying them again. This is kind of rediculous.
Thanks for any help!!

This is with OS 10.7 and iPhone software 4.3.5

I emailed with support and this is basically the deal. My iPhone also has my "me" account on it... [email protected]
So some of the apps purchased from the phone went with that account that I really didn't know existed. To fix it I had to also authorize this iTunes with my me.com account (Store->Authorize This Computer) and it all worked out and is now syncing those apps back to my iPhone.
I got that email from mac support at the same as the last message and like you said, when right-clicking the app and selecting "Get Info" it showed the me.com account. So this was a good lesson for a few things. Thanks for the help.

How can I delete apps from the app store? There seems to be every app I have ever downloaded and deleted since I got my phone in 2007. When I go to app store and select update apps there's a menu at the top that says purchased! I would like to delete hist

How can I delete apps from the app store? There seems to be every app I have ever downloaded and deleted since I got my phone in 2007.

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

HT5100 How to get iTunes U files from iTunes to the iTunes U app, not music app

I've downloaded a full iTunes U course on my iMac using iTunes. I have an iPad and iPhone bothe with the iTunes U app. All software is up to date. The course is viewable on my Mac and in the music app on my iOS devices but not the iTunes U app. How can they all sync?

All you need to do is the following:
1. Select iTunes U tab from your ipod in itunes
2. Check the box next to "Sync iTunes U" at the top
3. Make sure the box next to "Automatically include" is UNCHECKED
4. Select any course; check every box in the right menu.
5. Click "Apply" at the bottom right of screen.
***If you notice the percent of your videos may increase (at the bottom of the screen that shows the percentage of your music and videos, etc.), don't worry because after it is done syncing it will fix itself.
6. Look at your ipod menu on the left toolbar...iTunes U should show up. At this point you can sync all courses and they will appear in this menu.
7. NOW you can delete them.
For some reason it doesn't work to sync automatically, so if you have a lot of courses, then it ***** for a bit, but at least you don't need to erase your entire ipod.

ICloud enabled apps not sending data to iCloud

I have many iCloud enabled apps, however only some of them will show up in the documents and data section under iCloud (Infinity Blade 2, Galaxy on Fire 2, Pocket God, W.E.L.D.E.R., Doodle Jump, Pocket God Journey to Uranus, and The Creeps!). However, other iCloud enabled apps are not in this section (Cut the Rope, Cut the Rope Experiments, Slice it!, Where's my Water?, and Qvoid). Why are these apps not sending there data to iCloud? They say they support iCloud, and these apps have been proven to work with iCloud, but I cannot get them to work.
P.S. Documents and data is ON!!!

None at all.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

IPad won't play sound with video? Will play music and radio apps, but not if there is a video component. Same for my iTunes movies.

Help! My iPad won't play any audio when there is a video component to an app or game. It will play my music and I can see the video on my movies, but not the movie sound. Turning off and turning it on again worked as a temporary fix once, but now that is not working either. Been going on for an week or two?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

How to sync apps for ipone and not music, but keep music for classic

Hey
I am getting the iphone 3G, 16gb, and I have an ipod classic 80gb. I want to keep everything I have on the classic the same; the music, videos, games. However, for the iphone I dont want to add the music of videos, just the apps.
Is there a way to do this? If so could yuo explain in detail, thank you.

As with your iPod when connected to iTunes, the iPhone has various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Your iPod and your iPhone can have different sync preferences.
If you don't want to transfer any music to your iPhone, don't select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you don't want to sync any video to your iPhone, don't select sync Movies and TV Shows under your iPhone sync preferences.
Under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences, you will select Sync Applications with the following options below.
All Applications to transfer all available applications to your iPhone, or choose Selected Applications followed by selecting the applications in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

i wanted to ask whether the camera for ipod touch comparable to a digital camera? if not are there apps available that can turn it into a digital camera? i want to buy an ipod touch and i like photography....what should i do? plz suggest

The iPod touch has a very rudimentary camera. It has only a 0.6 MP resolution, no optical zoom, no flash, etc. There is no app that can improve this as it is limited by the hardware. So it is not a replacement for a digital camera (nor even for an iPhone whose camera has a 5.0 MP resolution.

We have three iPhones but one Apple ID because I pay for the acct whenever we buy Apps or music. However, it's frustrating that when we share iCloud it merges our notes and contacts even if we say "DO NOT MERGE." I've also lost my notes but could not recover them even if I did a restore.

You can share the same iTunes ID on all your devices and still have different iCloud accounts with different IDs on them. The ID you use for iTunes does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
If you want to migrate your devices to separate accounts, on the devices that will be moving save any photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. Also email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, go to the iWork app settings and turn off iCloud syncing.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once the phones are all on separate accounts you can then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

"I still dont understand why I dont see any of these camera roll photos (or any) when I sign in on line on my pc to my icloud account.
If photos cant be seen there, how do you arrange for an accidently deleted photo to be restored from there into the iPad?"
If you set up photostream correctly on your computer/ipad and instructions can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
it automatically created photostream folder in your Pictures/my pictures folder for Windows or iphoto for Mac.
You will find all your pictures in there, no need to go online. If you didn't use Photostream -start doing so now.
Otherwise you pictures are included in your back up, but that is an image file. What it means you will not be able to retreive one picture out of back up. You can however restore from that back up - instructions here
iOS: How to back up - Apple - Support
You probably do not want to do that for one picture, or even two but the option exists and steps are also in the article above.
"You say music does not take up i Cloud space . Does that mean it is not saved there in any way?"
What I meant that whatever is saved - does not go against 5 gigs of storage that apple gives you - unlimited space available, but only for the stuff you purchased in itunes.
"If it is saved but cant be seen, how do I set about restoring a music track that was deleted accidentily in the i Pad?"
It can be seen and instructions here:

Hey there.
Please help me.
Whenever i try to sync apps, tones, music etc, it says me to authorize my computer. But i had already authorized it and had even signed into my account. Can you please help me? I am facing this problems since long. please.
It goes like this.
Whenever i connect my iPhone5, it starts to sync. later when it reaches the 4th stage of 'Tranferring Purchases' it stops and says me to Authorize my computer.
But i had already authorized it and even signed my apple id.
Moreover, i have only authorized 1 out of my 5 computers.
Please help me.
I have been facing this from long.
Thank You.

Hi Rameez,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The steps in this article can help if iTunes is asking you to authorize your computer repeatedly:
