Can't sync apps from iTune to 3GS

When I click on the apps for the iPhone in iTune, all my apps apear in grey shade.  I cannot do anything with them. They wouldn't sync to my iPhone.  Thought it was iOS 4.1 problem so I updated to iOs 5.0.1.  Still not syncing even after I shut down and restore computer as well as reset iPhone. Now all my apps are gone

1) In iTunes with the phone connected, under the Apps tab, make sure Sync Apps is checked.
2) On the iPhone, go to Settings> General > Restrictions.  Is Installing Apps set to off?  If so, turn it on.

  • Can't sync apps from itunes to ipad mini

    i have purchased an app from appstore through iTunes on my computer but each time i try to sync it to my ipad mini
    it gets interrupted with the message "authorize this computer" although i have done that already

    iTunes is a mess. On the sidebar on the left there is a "On My Device" section. It shows everything *except* the apps. Above that there is a "settings" section. That's where the apps are. That's a "setting"?
    The device handling needs a complete overhaul. There are many many people who have had an iPad or iPhone for some time, but do not own a Mac. Based on climbing Mac sales, clearly some of those people are deciding "I like this iPhone so much I'm going to get a Mac!" So they get one and run into this train wreck.
    Even now, with the iPad selected, I go to the View menu, select View Options...,  and.....nothing. No window, no dialog, no indication of anything. Turns out that menu item is not applicable when a device is selected. Even with the original 128k Mac (my first Mac) they had this sorted out - dim the menu item when it's not applicable. Here we are 30 years later and they get it wrong.

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

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) 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.

  • No app store present on iPod Touch 4th gen and can't sync apps in iTunes, tried restoring/updating

    I've tried everything I know to fix this problem with no luck so far, I'm hoping someone can help. Note that iTunes has been updated to the latest version (and my friend's computer is running Windows 7, if that helps at all).
    My friend has an iPod Touch 4th generation. A while back he asked me to help him get apps onto the iPod, and I discovered that the App Store on the iPod itself was nowhere to be found, nor can he remember ever having one. In addition to this, he can't sync apps onto the iPod from within iTunes - the option to sync in the apps tab is greyed out. The music/movies/etc. sync just fine, however. At the time, his iPod had iOS 4.1.
    After checking for parental restrictions in his iTunes and the iPod, I found that his iPod has a restrictions password set, which he doesn't know. His parents have no memory of setting restrictions and don't know the password, either.
    I read online that the only way to remove the restrictions password is to restore the iPod, and since this seemed to be a good idea anyway due to the odd issue with iTunes refusing to sync apps, we restored the iPod and updated to iOS 5.1 today. Unfortunately, the App Store is still nowhere to be found, and we still can't sync apps in iTunes. The iPod still claims a restrictions password has been set as well.
    I have checked and double-checked that no restrictions are set in iTunes preferences. My friend created a new iTunes account, so that shouldn't be the problem. While we're hoping to get both iTunes sync and the iPod App Store app working properly, right now he just wants to be able to get apps onto his iPod.
    Does anyone have any ideas why his iPod didn't come with an App Store app, why it still doesn't have the Store after restoring, why iTunes won't sync apps, or why the restrictions password is still set after the restore? I've honestly run out of ideas as to how to fix this.
    Before I posted this, I did a little more looking online about the restrictions password, which is apparently restored along with a backup. Neither of us were present during the restore (we had to leave for a couple of hours after the restore had been started), so I'm only asking this because I don't have his iPod or computer with me at the moment to test it myself - is there a way to manually cancel restoring from a backup during the process? If so, I need to restore the iPod a second time.
    In the meantime, any ideas about my other three questions?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Edit: His iTunes account is authorized, by the way.

    What exactly happmens when you try? Error message?

  • Can i  access apps from itunes on my pc

    can i  access apps from itunes on my pc?
    I want to download my apps to my pc so I can clear some space on my iphone 4.
    Then I can use the space for other things e.g music.
    However at a later date I would like to access these apps and the data they have stored using my PC
    Is this possible?
    Or is this just another Mac problem?

    Most apps will store their data locally on the device. This can be restored from a backup when restoring the device, but if you remove the app any data associated with it is removed, and then subsequently purged from the device's rolling backup set on the next backup. If the app supports iTunes File Sharing you may be able to export its data to your computer, then reimport at a later date when you add the app back to your device.

  • Can I transfer apps from my earlier 3GS to my new 4?

    I have a new Iphone 4 and want to transfer my apps from my Iphone 3GS.  Can this be done?

    Sync your 3GS with iTunes.  This should automatically back it up. Then connect your iPhone 4 to iTunes and restore the backup from your 3GS. You can also re-download any apps to your iPhone 4 for free as long as you are using the same iTunes account.

  • 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.

  • How do I delete all or multiple synced apps from iTunes where the app has already been removed from iPad?

    I have recently purchased the latest iPad and been trying lots of apps.  These apps are synced with iTunes on a regular basis.  I want to delete synced apps from my iTunes backup that I have removed from my iPad.
    I am aware of a manual way of removing apps from the iTunes backup but it is far too painful and cumbersome.  You have to select the iPad under devices, click the apps tab up the top, and then see which items are not ticked (which runs very slow I might add, but it is a big list).  After noting them down, I then visit the apps section under library on the left, highlight all the unwanted apps, right click and delete.
    Unless there is some special way of doing this that I am un aware of, it would be really helpful if the libary application view had a column which informed me which ones were still on my iPad.  I could then sort by that column, and then delete all the removed apps.

    Yes, delete all the apps currently in iTunes, then transfer all the apps currently on the iPad back into iTunes. Of course it will take some time to sync the apps back into iTunes, but it satisfies your desire to remove all apps from iTunes that are not on your iPad without the need to laboriously note what is and is not there. In fact as a bonus after removing all the apps from iTunes you could open the ..\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder and delete any remaining orphaned files that might still be there, before you transfer purchases.

  • No app store after upgraded iPhone 4 to ios5. Can't sync apps in iTunes

    App Store not appearing on iPhone after upgrading to iOS5. Not able to select 'sync apps' in iTunes while iPhone is displayed & all other tabs able to be modified.

    Okay, so I tried something different... I deleted all of the music from itunes (but not the files themselves), then copied my entire music libray to a new folder, then reset the "sync history". I imported all of the music from the new location into itunes, then dragged it onto the iphone. I then got the message:
    "are you sure that you want to replace all of the songs on the iphone "xxxxx" with songs from this library?"
    I clicked "replace songs", but still, nothing transfered.

  • 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
