Cannot sync iPhone as apps were deleted when it was connected to iTunes. Now cannot upload music. What should I do?
My iPhone was connected to my computer and to itunes. I deleted apps from my iPhone directly, when it was connected. Now I am unable to sync my iPhone.
When I try and sync, it goes through the process then a message appears:
" iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined."
On the 'apps' tab in iTunes, a list of 13 apps appears, when I now only have 6 on my phone.
This is stopping the iPhone syncing fully, and I want to upload all my music to the phone.
Does anybody have any idea what I could do? I am reluctant to add all the apps again as soem I have to pay for, and one, Post Secret is no longer available.
Thankyou!
I think we may have an answer here as these 2 threads seem related to our problems. Unfortunately it's not an answer that's welcome.

All my apps were deleted when i downloaded ios7
All my apps were deleted when I downloaded the IOS7 update. I can open them from the apps icon but they do not show up on my screen. HELP!
i just answered another question with the same problem...
anyway, try sync you iphone with itunes
if that doesn`t work, try retreiving all your shops in itunes (file>dispositives> retrieve your shops) - my itunes is in portuguese, i actually don`t know exactly the words of the menu, but if you try u can find it
if none of that works, try logging out of your itunes account on your phone... after that log in again, and try to download the apps you have purchased.
none of that works, try restoring it with a previous backup, if it doesn`t work, do it from scratch! -
Some of my apps were updating when there was an interruption in the Internet connection. Now they won't complete the update process. Any ideas?

my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.
My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone. -
What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?
Ok, here is how the story have ended for my iPhone 4S.
I took the phone to the genius bar 500-km far from my town. And they told me to wait 20 mins and then they asked what's wrong with the phone. They first thought the battery is dead. But then they changed the battery with a sure-it's-working-battery. But no luck. And told me that "logic board" has gone (why? -no explanation. it just happens).
And then they checked the warranty and noticed that it was expired 29 days ago (the phone was bought from Chicago and I'm in Europe now). Since it's expired, I'm told that it can't be replaced with no cost. I should pay 200 Euros to get a "new" iPhone 4S (you know what is "new" means, refurbished). Or I could buy a brand-new-iPhone5 for 600 Euros.
I'm not rich person and I decided to go with the refurbished one. So, as summary,
- 13 months iPhone is dead. (~500$)
- a refusrbished phone with 3 months of warranty (200 Euro)
- Lost data (I admit that this is my fault not to care about the backup but after phone is dead, I didn't have any way to save data).
I can say that, if you have too much money, yes, Apple products are worth to buy. -
IPhone keeps saying connect to iTunes but won't restore what should I do?
I bought a 5C and it was working fine, but needed an update and had the person I bought the phone off had their iCloud still on. I asked them for the password but as he didn't know me he said he didn't trust me so I looked online and it said to force it to restore I should put it in DFU mode then plug it in to iTunes and it will restore. Now it just displays a iTunes logo (in red) and a lightning cable and arrow. Basically telling me to plug the phone into iTunes but i do and it won't restore, i try to restore it and it says error 1, 3,18 or 2006. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! What should I do?
Hello jxshurobinson,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues restoring your iPhone and are just seeing the Connect to iTunes screen, you may find the following articles helpful:

Also, from your description, it sounds like the phone may have still been Activation Locked to the previous owner's account. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

On this iPhone is not showing up when I am connected to iTunes with my iPhone 4s
I am trying to remove and add stuff to my iPhone 4s and there is no on this iPhone button to push to do this. How do I get it to work?
I finally found a workaround for this.
This assumes you are on Windows.
Hit <Control>-S to make the sidebar appear. You should see your iphone under "DEVICES", and, under the iphone, there will be a "Music" label that you can click. -

Hi rayeny,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
The article below provides tips that will help you find out if there is a hardware issue and how to setup service if there is.
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Resolving Issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

How do I undo an iPhone iTunes sync? Most of my apps were deleted!
I am migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. I restored my iTunes Music and Video library, now I'm trying to setup iPhone and iPad sync'ing.
When I tried to sync music to my iPhone, iTunes gave me an error saying this phone is associated with another iTunes Library. This is
referreing to my old XP library.
When I did a "sync" of my music, most of my apps were deleted. How do I restore these? How do I tell iTunes that I want that the
"other" iTunes library (under XP) is gone. Do I need to restore some other files/directories to get devices to sync without deleting
stuff?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am VERY frustrated right now!
Thanks,
GaryYou should have put all of your apps on the new computer.
Whatever is not on the new computer will not be on your iphone.
If you failed to put your apps on your new computer, then you will have to redownlaod them.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Recently when I connect my iphone 4 to my Mac for normal synchronising i found after a few minutes all my purchased apps were deleted and gone ? I have no problem to retrieve them back but that is exhausting and I am feeling sick ? what is the problem ? please help me and thank you
Make sure Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and that all the apps are checked that you want on your phone. Also be sure that your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your apps (and other media) in Store>Authorize this Computer.

I am using Apple ipod 2nd gen with IOS 4.2.1 . No i recently updated my IOS and all my apps were deleted. Now when i download IBOOKS it needs IOS 5. How do i get the apps which are copatible with IOS 4.2.1 or IPOS 2nd GEN??
You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models -
I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on, all my apps were deleted. I tried to reinstall my apps, but it wouldn't let me. My storage still remained the same even though, all my apps were deleted. How can I get my apps back?
Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.
