Can't sync apps from iPhone to new media library

I created a new media library for iTunes because my old library had become a mess. With this library open in iTunes, I plugged in my phone and had no trouble syncing music to this library in place of the old one. However, when I go to the apps tab, it shows the preview of my home screen with my apps on it but it doesn't list any of my apps in the left hand bar that would let me know this media library has my apps. How can I get this new media library in iTunes to recognize the apps on my phone and then my phone can sync apps with this new library and not the old one?

never mind.

Syncing apps from iPhone to new computer

I have a new computer and want to sync my phone and all it's apps to my new computer. How do I do this without loosing all of my apps?

Hi ...
What if that doesn't help?
I have a new computer cause the other one crashed, and I've tried this but didn't succeed. It seems to be working and when iTunes ask if I want to use the new properties and I press ok, nothing has been done, and there's no programs in my iTunes program libary?
It want me to update an empty iTunes libary even if I try to import buying from my iPhone.
Unfortunately the answer is not very helpful to me.
Happy Easter.

Crashed Hard Drive, how can I sync music from Iphone to new one?

I understand that the iPhone is intended only to sync with only one computer and for that reason it won't allow me to transfer my music from my iPhone to another computer. Problem is my old hard drive died (along with all my music inside).
How can I transfer the files that are on my iPhone to the iTunes on my new hard drive? I do not have any other back ups as I assumed the iPhone would serve as a back up device itself.

I assumed the iPhone would serve as a back up device itself.
That was a pretty bad assumption. The iTunes content sync is one way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to get content off your phone and into your iTunes library, as it's expected that you backup that library, and no, the iPhone is not a backup device, not designed as such and never intended to be such.
For purchased music from the iTunes store, you can File>Transfer Purchases, before syncing and after you've authorized your computer Store>Authorize this Computer. Music ripped on your own or photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted using third-party software before you do anything else:

How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

Authorization error when syncing apps from iphone to mac, mac to iphone

I am having this error with both apps I've synced from my iPhone to my Mac, and one I purchased from ITunes (which as a side problem, I can not sync to my iPhone no matter what I try). I have one iTunes account and it is the same on my computer and on my iPhone. However, the one I bought on my mac I can't authorize on my computer, and I can't sync some back because I get this same error message (I have all the latest software on phone and Mac):
THERE WAS AN ERROR STORING YOUR AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION ON THIS COMPUTER
The required directory was not found or has a permission error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions can not be changed.
Is this just becuase these apps aren't made to USE on a computer? Because that would make sense. I'm just worried it has something to do with the app I purchased on ITunes not syncing back to my iPhone.

I created a new user on my macbook and tried to authorize the computer but got the same authorization error. This doesn't have to do with the fact that I have once used a different iTunes account? (not since I have had the iPhone. I have tried to figure out how to delete this but it looks as if apple doesn't want me to.) Plus, it's the same email as my dot mac which I've ALSO been having trouble with the past few months-- it keeps resetting on its own and my keychain and iphone can't get into it. online chat has not solved the problem so i decided to just let it expire...
Ive been using a mac for 15 years and have never had as many problems as i've had these past few months.

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

Hi,
I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
But the folder are not synced.
If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.

Sync iPod Touch with entirely new media library BUT RETAIN existing apps

Hi fellows. I'm creating a new media library where all the music, etc, are properly tagged/organized/album art embedded. I'm currently sync-ing my iPod Touch to my existing library, which is quite messed up, i.e. no album art, crappy tagging, etc.
When I'm eventually done with the new library, I will like my iPod Touch to sync to that library but, my Touch has many AppStore apps (linked with the current library) & I will like to keep them (along with whatever data the apps are storing as well).
I'm concerned if I sync my Touch to the new, nicely-done library, all the apps will be wiped, i.e. I haven't downloaded all the many apps onto the new library, currently it's just music. I do not mind the music on the Touch being wiped as a result of sync-ing with the new library (I actually want that, i.e. remove all the crappily-tagged music & grab all the nicely-tagged versions from the new library into the Touch), but I want the apps on my Touch to remain untouched/un-moved/not reloaded.
Is my requirement possible? I was hoping when I sync my Touch to the new library it'll ask me to "Transfer Purchases" from the Touch to the library (which is the best scenario), but I'm *afraid afterwards it'll reload all the apps* on my Touch and all the application data stored within each apps, will be wiped. Any experience/advice?

what should I do to transfer all 313 apps of my iphone to my new pc.
by the way I bought 40% of these apps and I have new version of itunes on my pc
please help meeee

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.

Syncing apps from iphone 4 to new imac

Give this a try:
1. With iTunes open, select Store from the menu bar
2. Select "Authorize this computer"
3. Fill in your AppleID information and click "Authorize"
4. Select File from the menu bar and select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone"
Hope this helps!!

How can I sync apps from Mac to iPhone and visa versa.

Hi,
Firstly I'm not having any problems syncing apps to my iPhone.
I'm very OCD and would like to have it so that If I install an app onto my Mac, it sync to my iPhone. And then if I delete it from my Mac and plug my phone in to sync, it will delete it from my iPhone.
Basically I want my iMac to be the hub of the apps, so everything I see on my iMac will be on my phone.
Let me know if you have a solution for this!
Tim

As far as installing is concerned, if you install an iPhone app on your Mac and sync your iPhone to your Mac using either USB or WiFi the app will be installed on your phone. You can also go (on the phone) to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn on Automatic Downloads for apps. Then whenever you buy or download an app on your computer or another Apple device it will automatically be installed on your iPhone.
For uninstalling, there are 2 ways to uninstall; one is on the phone (which you said you don't want to do) and the other is to connect the phone to iTunes, click on it, then on Apps, and uncheck any apps you don't want on the phone, then sync.

Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to 4S

Hey folks,
I recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S. I synced up my 3GS to iTunes and then connected my new phone. When I synced them I chose the restore from existing option. This worked great and I have all of my messages, email account settings, Photos etc etc. However, None of my Apps have been transferred to the new device. How do I get all of my Apps from the 3GS to the 4S??
Any help would be great!
Iain

Go to the App Store and reinstall them...
