Can I sort iTouch apps by Genre like in iTunes?

In iTunes I have the option to sort my apps by Genre. I know I can (with the new OS upgrade)create folders, but I'm wondering if I can spare myself the work and just sort the apps by these Genres on my touch? I started making folders and found limits with how many apps they would hold. This seems like a much easier way - does anyone know if it's possible?
Thanks.

You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock
icons along the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home
screens. You can also organize applications by collecting them in folders.
You can rearrange icons on the Home screen, and the order of the screens, when iPod
touch is connected to your computer. Select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar, then
click the Applications tab.
You can also organize with folders. You can put up to 12 icons into a folder. iPod touch automatically names a folder when you create it, based on the initial icon you use to create the folder, but you can change the name anytime you want. Like individual icons, folders can be rearranged by dragging them around the Home screen. Folders can be moved to a new Home screen or to the Dock.

    How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

    Did you figure this out? Am having the same problem.
    EDIT:
    Found the group in store (in this case Juana Molina) It said music -> alternative
    Changed to column view, and could not find the artist at all in any of the sub categories.
    iTunes is really the biggest pain in the .... and has gotten worse over the years.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • Sorting songs on iPod mini like in iTunes library

    Can the library on my iPod mini be sorted by Sort Name like my iTunes library can? If so, how?

    No, the sort options info does not carry over to the iPod.
    The iPod sorts by album/artist only.

  • How can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

    how can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

    Apps downloaded through iTunes will only run on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPads. Plug your device into your computer, open iTunes, and click on it in the bar either at the top or the left side. Then, click apps at the top, and click install next to the app you want installed.
    If you are looking for apps to run on your Mac, you need to download them through the Mac App Store, not through iTunes.

  • Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?, Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?

    I have more than a 100 apps which I do not use but are there in my iTunes library! My iPhone has only a few (40) updates. As I am not allowed to use office wi-fi to download or update my phone apps, I want to use iTunes on my PC for the same. But I do not want to waste time searching for the apps on my phone and then update it using iTunes. Also, I do not want to update all the apps in my iTunes Library as there are more gthan 100. Can anyone suggest me a method where I can just update the apps that are on my phone using iTunes??
    I have the latest iTunes installed.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Can't access any apps in ipodafter downloadig in itunes

    can't access any apps in ipod after downloading in itunes

    Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, try downloading another free app from the App Store.  This has been known to resolve the issue for a number of users.

  • HT4009 How can I remove/delete apps I have downloaded in iTunes?

    Hi,
    How can I remove/delete apps I have downloadedin iTunes?
    I have the Lite versions that I try and then buy the PRO version.
    Now all the LITE's are cluttering my account.
    Also some of the apps that I downloaded are not required/wanted now. Can I delete them?
    Thanks

    You can delete them from your computer's iTunes and/or from your device, but you can't currently permanently delete them from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding (the ability to hide items directly on a device doesn't appear to work in iOS 6)

  • How can I arrange my apps in genres manually like my music?

    I have a LOT of apps and would love to arrange them in my own files/genres in iTunes like I do with my music. But when I open up info on an app, everything is greyed out and not letting me do this. I hate the general app structure iTunes has for apps.

    Hi Tanya04,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone.
    Then restart the device and log in again.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    If the above did not resolve your issue, follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below.
    The link includes the complete details and screenshots, but I've highlighted a few points for you:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Can't shut down apps on os7 like previous edition, help?

    On older version, I would double click and then hold down app until it began to wiggle, then close that app.  I am unable to do that with os7.  Is there a way to close down apps not being used?
    Thanks,

    Double tap the home button, swipe up on the screen shot of the app, tap the home button when done.

  • How Can I Transfer an app from my iPad to iTunes?

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

  • How can you sort without adding all the music to iTunes?

    I'm an older person and I don't get it. At first I just had a shuffle and I downloaded specific songs into iTunes that I liked. Then I upgraded. I loaded a whole bunch of cd's into various libraries at various times on an external hard drive. Now, I have a ton of music and would love an easy way to organize it! There are lots of duplicates and lots of songs I just don't like. The trouble is, I haven't figured out how to just see a list of all the songs and sort and delete from the list. I have to open a library and then I get a bunch of file folders of an album or two. Then I have to open the album to see the songs. If I forget what the song sounds like and I click on it to play it, the album goes automatically into iTunes. I don't have enough room on my pc for all that music to go right into iTunes. Do you get my question?? Can you help me?

    When you play a song with iTunes, it automatically gets added to the library, as you noticed.
    If you just want to play the song so you can decide whether to keep or delete it, use another player. You may already have Windows Media Player on your machine. If not you can download Winamp.
    When you are done sorting, add the ones you want into your iTunes library
