Cannot add music or old apps from iTunes to iPhone 5

Any tips? On iTunes it has all of my previous settings from my iPhone 4 but I cannot update my iPhone 5 with my old apps or add any music to my device. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think I've got the same problem:
- I can download Apps to Itunes
- I can download Apps from my Iphone
- I can sync my Iphone, but none of the Apps will transfer from my Itunes to my Iphone.
- My computer is authorized
- Restrictions on my Iphone are disabled
- The Apps are checked under the Applications tab
- I used to be able to sync Apps from my Itunes to my Iphone
- If I uncheck an App and Sync it removes the App from my Iphone, and when I check and sync it again, it will not move the App back on my Iphone
- Updates won't sync either
- I get no error message or anything, it just does what it should do but 'skips' syncing the Apps
- As far as I know it happened suddenly (without me unchecking stuff or clicking on things that might have disabled it)
- I am not able to find a solution on the internet.
I hope this might help :]

    Go to the apps tab, select sync apps, select the apps that you want to sync.

    Apps can be used with only one account. You can sync to more than one iphone from that account, but the app will not transfer to another account.

  • Can't delete old apps from iTunes. 'Delete' greyed out

    I would like to delete a number of old apps from my iTunes.  However, when I go to the 'Apps' tab and highlight the app it doesn't delete.  Also, when I go into 'Edit', the 'Delete' button is greyed out.  I have tried logging out of my iTunes account and logging back in, switching the computer on and off and also by trying with both plugging in both my iPhone and iPad.  Nothing works!  I would much appreciate any ideas.
    Thanks.

    Hi bickyk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below explains how to delete apps from your Mac, iPhone or iPad.  On your Mac, you should be able to click on the app to select it, and then press Delete on your keyboard.  
    If for some reason you are not able to delete the app from your computer, you can hide it instead.  Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted the key points for you.
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5772
    You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
    Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
    After you delete an item, it might still be visible if you can download it again from iTunes in the Cloud. The Download  icon will appear next to these items. You can hide items available in iCloud and purchases from the Mac App Store.
    Apps
    Open the section below for the device you're using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
    The apps will begin to jiggle.
    Tap the X on the app.
    Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
    Click the app you want to delete.
    Press Delete on your keyboard.
    Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4928
    Hide your purchases
    If you hide an item you purchased in the Mac App Store, you won't get update notifications for it, and you won't see it on your Purchases page. If you're using Family Sharing, hidden items will also be hidden from your family members.
    Use these steps on OS X Mountain Lion or later:
    Open the Mac App Store.
    Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    Right-click the item that you want to hide and choose Hide Purchase. A prompt will ask if you're sure that you want to hide the item.
    Click the Hide Purchase button. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
    Use these steps on OS X Lion:
    Open the Mac App Store.
    Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    Locate the item that you want to hide.
    Click the X to the right of that item. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Installing Apps from Itunes to Iphone.,....

    Hi all,
    I cannot seem to find how to install Apps from itunes to my iphone. I needed a new iphone, and when i got it the songs installed and sync'd fine.
    The Apps however did not.
    You cannot drag and drop the Apps from the Itunes store to the iphone. Syning them doesn't send them across. I have updated them all within itunes to the latest versions.
    So someone please put me out of my misery and let me know how you can do it?!
    TIA

    Select your phone in the left column, under devices. Select "Applications" at the top of the main window.
    The list will appear below with a check box to select the apps you want synced. When your selections are complete, click the "Apply" button at the bottom right of the window.

  • How do I delete apps from iTunes for iPhone?

    Okay, I delteted the app from my iPhone, but iTunes wants to reinstall it. No obvious way to delete the app from iTunes. Of course, when I find out how, it will be facepalm time.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the responses!
    Path to get to iPhone Apps in 10.6.7 is:
    Users::your_name::Music::iTunes::Mobile Applications
    It would have been easier to just search for the App name, duh. Hindsight is so 20/20.

  • 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

  • Deleted app from itunes and iphone appearing in updates

    I have tries to install app 'Prince of Persia: Warrior within' from itunes but cancelled it looking at the app size. But this app appears in update section when I click 'itunes download available' or if I click download all apps. Again, it is also happening for one more app which I installed and deleted ('Capcom Arcade') but again it appears in download section and starts to download automatically.
    I am really frustrated with this activity as I have to always check that itunes is not automatically downloading these applications other wise it consumes by internet bandwidth (both apps are more than 500 MB of size).
    Please provide a solution or help me with any tips on this.

    To completely remove an app from iTunes & your phone, do this: Right-click the app in your iTunes library, select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash, connect your phone, if prompted that there is purchased content on your phone not in your iTunes library, decline to transfer, hit the sync button. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • I can't add music to iMovie HD from iTunes

    I think I have read all the posts on authorization that seemed relevant to me, but I cannot get iMovie to accept any content from iTunes. It keeps me in the "not authorized" loop. As recommended in some of the posts I have: 1) Trashed my SC info folder and restarted 2) de-authorized my computer then re-authorized it. 3) made sure I have the most recent version of iTunes. 4) Cursed like a sailor.
    I bought a song from iTunes to try new content, didn't work. My password or account name has not changed. I am desperate because I am on a deadline and have to make this work.
    HELP!!!
    thanks

    There seems to be a problem with the latest iMovie and purchased iTunes songs. The work around until Apple fixes iMovie is to put the song you need in a playlist, burn them to an Audio CD. Now in iMovie either try adding them directly from the CD, at which point they would be copied into the iMovie project as AIFF files or if that doesn't work (I ca not recall if you can add directly from a CD or not) then reimport the songs from the CD to iTunes (AIFF will work for sure and I have never had issues with music in MP3 format with iMovie projects) then use the reimported version in iMovie.
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • Music won't download from itunes to iphone

    Hiya,
    I have purchased music from Itunes App on my iPhone (4S with iOS7 update) and now it won't download to my music without being connected to the computer.  There are no restrictions to my data usage, iCloud is correctly signed in.  I have no trouble downloading other apps or books; only music.  Can anyone help me fix it please? (Obviously I could just plug my phone into the computer and do it that way but I'd like to be able to download without doing so)
    Thanks in advance,

    I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
    Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

  • Syncing apps from itunes to iphone

    My apps on itunes won't transfer to my iphone4. The syncing is always completed without my apps appearing on my phone....??? I've reset my phone, doesn't help...

    The iTunes account has always been the same and I didn't have any issues dragging music and videos from iTunes into the phone. Whenever I tried to drag the apps into the iPhone, the iPhone bar on the left side of iTunes never highlighted BUT (and I keep forgetting this) that there are tabs and I was able to sync the apps that way (although I didn't want to do it this way) Thanks for the help!

  • 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.
