Cant sync january update

I had the january update installed and it worked great. I reset my ipod and my laptop. My Apple store account says i have purchased it but it will not sync onto my ipod touch. How do i get the iphone apps on the ipod after paying for the update?

There was a file on your computer as well as an electronic "receipt" file. Not an actual receipt like you are sent from iTunes when you buy a song. When you reformatted your laptop, both those files were deleted. Until about the time of the WWDC, Apple was allowing folks to redownload. Some of us (me probably loudest of all) were concerned that this wasn't the best method, especially in light of the fact that Apple has long had a policy written into the iTunes Terms of Use of one download per purchase.
Unfortunately at this point, there is no way to redownload as Apple has removed the file from iTunes. On the day the new upgrade becomes available, I would suggest contacting Apple and explaining what happened. At that point, the receipt you were emailed for the purchase and the fact that your account shows as having purchased it should go a long way.
Now, that said... it has been brought up that the 2.0 update may solve all your problems. Alan Sampson is good with the links to all the official updates. If you search his posts, you will see what I mean. That the basic functionality of the 1.1.4 software should be included in 2.0 seems a logical conclusion. If the apps are not. then it's time to contact Apple. If they are, and you were planning on upgrading anyhow, then all will be well.

  • Cant Buy January Update - a FIX that works

    Wow - so many threads about the infuriating January Update Buy button not appearing. Here is a solution that WORKS - thanks to Mr Alex Brophy, my new hero!:
    Go directly to the page that allows you to buy by clicking this url:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=271872604&s=14 3441
    Click the Buy button, and agree to the terms (twice, it seems!) Now, the first time I did this, nothing happened, so I tried again- and it worked. Purchase history confirms only one $20 charge was made.
    Try it, everyone, it let me install the update with no restores or resets or anything,and the sync happened automatically once the purchase went through. Yahoo!
    (Now all I need to make me happy is 10.5.2 so Leopard can also work.)

    I live in a country which does not have iTunes Store but I can purchase a voucher from eBay. However according to Q&A from Apple:-
    "Gift certificates and gift cards purchased on the iTunes Store are valid for use only in the country in which they were purchased. Gift certificates purchased in the United States may only be redeemed by residents of the United States."
    Not only that, those who have access to iTunes Store are making unreasonable profits from selling those vouchers. A US$15 iTunes Store voucher is sold for $18.
    Can anyone CONFIRM 100% that the voucher I purchase from eBay actually can work? I doubt because before I can redeem the voucher from iTunes Store, I have to register first. And to register, I need a credit card which has a billing address in the US or a country which already has iTunes Store.

    Hello Mr. Mai,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone and iPad were not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • I have installed itunes 10.7 several times.  All goes well.  After reboot, I go into itunes and check for updates and it says I need to download the update 10.7! (And so cant sync with my Iphone)

    I have installed itunes 10.7 several times, all goes well. After reeboot, I go to check for updates and it still wants to update to version 10.7! I cant sync to my iphone4 because I get an error message saying I need version 10.6.3 or later. Help

    Thank you for getting me started on the track by mentioning "Revo" Uninstaller.  The results of "Revo" spoke volumns on why a successful install of ITunes is so difficult to achieve.  It is the evil "BONJOUR".
    I then tripped upon the following site by Apple and the detailed directions (I read, printed, re-read and followed the instructions.  It was intense) brought a successful ITunes, Quick Time and the lovely Bonjour home.  Thank you for the start JD42.

    - Transfer iTuns purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
    - If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Since i updated i tunes version 11 i cant sync with the store or database

    since i updated my itunes version to 11 i cant sync with itunes or gracenote

    Like Jim, mine is mirroring with no problem. I use it several times a week. It would not appear to something Apple needs to fix. As for "all the fixes here" we have no way of knowing what that means, so it is difficult to determine what to recommend.

  • Cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11?

    cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11 - any suggestions?

    Thanks for your message.
    I have downloaded the latest iTunes [11.1.5 (5)] with no luck, unfortunately. As it did with 11.1.4 (62), iTunes recognizes my iPhone, I can select the music to sync, click sync, it appears to sync but remains completely unchanged in my iPhone music.
    Any tips are welcome!

  • HT4972 what if have to update on another computer but cant sync back after!! how do i get back apps etc?

    Need to update iPhone; have backed up but that will not protect apps etc.  cant sync with own original computer; how do I keep Apps or am I simply being shafted into losing it all.

    If you are permanently moving to a new computer copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT45270) as well as any synced content not in your iTunes library such as photos, calendar and contacts.  If you can't see this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  Also, you can redownload your apps again for free if they are still in the app store (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

  • Purchasing January Update for 2 iPods on Same Account

    My wife and I each have an iPod Touch which we sync on separate computers but share the same iTunes Account (so that we can sync each others purchases). I purchased the January update from my computer and installed on my iPod without issue, but I could not purchase the update again from my wife's computer; iTunes stated that I had already purchased the update.
    I would like to avoid creating a new iTunes Account for my wife just so that the software update would work, since we are sharing our purchases. Is there another way to purchase and install the update from the same iTunes Account into separate iPods?

    Find the Update file in
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming
    Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
    Copy it and put it in your wife's computer under that file and sync
    (File Location from A A P L)

  • I cant' sync my ipod because it says"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. I can't download it because my MAC is version 10.5.8 and it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Any suggestions?

    If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

  • Cant sync iPhone because itunes says this computer is no longer authorised

    whenever i try to sync my iPhone 5s to my computer (iMac.. the older/thick one), it backs up and works fine until it starts to download music and apps. it says that it cant sync to my iPhone because the computer is no longer authorised for the purchases made on the phone, it gave me the option to authorise (which it already was) so i did, still didn't work, so i reauthorised and reauthorised a couple of times. i first started to notice the problem when i updates to IOS 8 (iTunes v12.0.1.26) so i don't know whats at fault. i have a 4th-gen ipod touch (6.1.2) that syncs without any problems. i dont know what to do anymore , i just want my new songs on my phone. is there any way i can fix this because having to carry my ipod and my phone everywhere is getting quite tedious.

    Hi GArveladze11,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re not able to sync your iPhone 5S with your iMac because of repeated alerts to authorize the computer. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides more information about the alert message that you’re seeing and possible resolutions.

    Take care,
