Can not transfer apps from Itunes to Iphone

HI everyone, I noticed this just the other day and I can seem to figure it out.
My Apps page in Itunes is greyed out and I cant navigate and add new apps from Itunes.
Sync Apps is unchecked and if I check it I get a warning saying it will erase all apps on the phone and replace it with the ones on Itunes. I don't want to do that as I will loose all the modified data within the apps. (Game progress etc.) And I don't know if that will fix the problem, plus all the apps on the phone are the same as the ones on the computer so I would not gain anything from that anyway.
I used to be able to change the order and remove apps from this page and now its greyed out. Any Ideas?
Restrictions on the phone are set to OFF.
...anyone know how to add a screen shot to this forum so you can see what I'm talking about?
thanks!

Either you changed to a different computer to sync, or you changed something major on the computer so iTunes no longer thinks it is the same computer. The iPhone can sync iTunes content with only one computer at a time; if you change computers the symptom that you see is exactly the result.

Can't install apps from iTunes onto iPhone

hi all--
I have a one-month-old 16GB iPhone that I play a lot of games on. I've purchased a bunch of games from the App Store and synced them over with no issues in the past, but my last 8-10 purchases simply won't sync over, no matter what I do. It's like the iPhone's purchase record was "frozen" at a couple weeks ago. Here's what I've tried so far:
*Restoring the iPhone
*Deleting Apps from iTunes and redownloading to iTunes
*Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
No luck.
When I attempt to download these same apps from the App Store on the iPhone itself, something even stranger happens. I get the "You have already purchased this, do you want to download again for free?" message, and the game begins to download normally, but it gets caught in an infinite loop as it attempts to install the thing. The "Installing..." progress bar will fill up all the way, but right as it finishes it resets to blank and starts filling up again!
Something is clearly wrong with my Syncing process, my iTunes account, my iPhone, or all three. Any ideas? I am getting pretty frustrated by this, as you may imagine.

yes... I have looked at previous discussions and seems like this is a common problem with no solution... I have done all of the other suggesstions but no chnage

Can't transfer apps from Mac to iPhone using iTunes

I need to transfer an app from my Mac to my iPhone because the vendor bodged an update. I've deleted the broken app from the iPhone and now want to sync apps with my Mac as it has a working copy of the app. However when I go to the syncing screen there are no apps visible:
But my Apps are all there on the Mac:
Don't know when the problem started as I normally keep the apps up to date on each device over wifi.
Any ideas chaps?
David

Apps you purchase from the Mac App Store can only run on the Mac OS X.
Apps purchased from the iTunes store run on iOS based devices such as your iPod.
In other words, you can't run the game for your Mac then copy it to your iPod. Two differenct operating systems.

How can I transfer apps from iTunes library from one computer to another?

I have been unsuccessful in transferring my music over to my new MacBook from my PC Windows Vista. I even subscribed to MobileMe, but it wouldn't work! So, I have decided to take the time to copy all my music to CDs & do it that way, but how am I going to transfer my apps? If I sync my iPhone with my iTunes library on my MacBook once I have transferred the songs, won't the apps be erased on my phone? Is there a way using MobileMe I could do so? Please please please help.

Do you have access to an external hard drive that you were using for your computer's backup with your PC which has enough storage capacity for your entire iTunes library?
If so, using the external hard drive would be a good way to do this. You would transfer your iTunes named folder in your My Music folder on your PC followed by transferring the iTunes named folder from the external hard drive to the Music folder on your Mac - with iTunes quit when doing so. This will transfer all music, videos, 3rd party apps, playlists, etc. from your PC to your Mac.
If most of your iTunes library includes music purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If all 3rd party apps do not transfer from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your Mac, you can re-download purchased apps with iTunes on your MacBook and you won't be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the 3rd party apps.

Transfer app from itunes to iphone

Recently installed Windows 7 as a clean install replacing Vista. Then reinstalled itunes. Then transferred my apps from my iphone to itunes.
Then purchased a large app which i downloaded to itunes. The problem is I can't transfer it to my phone.
I've re authorised the computer but that doesn't help.
When I go to the sync apps tab I get a message asking me if I'm sure I want to proceed as all of the existing apps and their data will be deleted.
What do I do?

This article details how to backup your itunes media:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382
Once backed up, iTunes can use your backup to automatically restore your iTunes library.
This article will tell you how to recreate your library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Make sure you have at least one entry in whatever supported applications you use for calendars & contacts. You do not want to sync to an empty address book, as this will delete the contacts from your phone. To prevent this & generate a merge or replace prompt, make sure you have at least one entry in each calendar & contact application.
Also, before you do sync, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences(in the edit menu).
Connect your phone, Do Not Sync, at this point.
Store>Authorize this Computer.
File>Transfer Purchases.
Right click the phone in the device pane & select reset warnings.
Right click again & select backup.
Right click again & select restore from backup. Select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you'll select from the various tabs as before.
You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
Since you'll be restoring your itunes library from a backup, your phone should look exactly like it did before you started.

Can't transfer APPS from 3GS to iphone 5

just bought an Iphone 5 today and follow the instruction to restore from iTunes backup. Everything transfer except apps on the 3GS didn't migrate. What I can do now?

Was the iPhone 3GS backup created after the apps were installed on the iPhone 3GS?
I've done this operation several times and it works.
Make another backup of the iPhone 3GS and restore your iPhone 5 using this new backup.

Can't transfer music from iTunes to iPhone

Ok, so I transferred this CD to iTunes and I'm trying to drag and drop it onto my iPhone but I get a symbol showing that I can't do that. I then tried to check the box under iPhone that says "Manually manage music and videos" but then get a notification saying an iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time and to manually manage the music and videos I have to erase all content on my iPhone and sync with this iTunes library. The problem is, my original iTunes library has been lost due to a hard drive crash. Furthermore, when I try to transfer purchases from my iPhone to the new library around 200 of the songs show up with incorrect information (they show the track number and song title with no album or artist info. For example, a song titled Memory Lane that is the first song on the album shows up as 01 Memory Lane with no artist and no album.) Any ideas on what I should do?

iphone will sync with one computer. When you sync to another, it will erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer, this is true of manually managing music as well.
Since you are trying to drag and drop, do yo have manually manage music checked?

Can't transfer files from iTunes to iPhone without erasing song library

I purchased some music from itunes on my computer at work(which is authorized on my account). I connected my iPhone to transfer (sync) the music to my iphone, but iTunes warns me that all music on my iphone will be erased. The music on my iPhone is currently sync'd with my home computer. My question is: How do I transfer music to my iPhone from two different authorized computers without erasing the content on the phone?

You can't sync music from two computers to the one iPhone.
You need to copy the files onto something like a USB stick and take them home and add them to your iTunes library at home.

Can't transfer app from iTunes to ipad Mini without updates transferring as well

I like to download the occasional app to iTunes then transfer it later to my iPad Mini.
However I find that later when I try just to transfer that app to my ipad, iTunes insists on transferring updates of other apps as well ?
Is there a way to stop this ?

I don't want to download again as I have a download limit and some of these apps are very large and take a big chunk out of that limit.
This is why I download to iTunes on my pc so I can then transfer to other devices without affecting my limit.
It also makes a convenient local backup.
