Change reader app and choose reader app from iTunes before sync

Anyone knows how to change reader app for a pdf file?
It seems if I've chosen one app to open a pdf then my file's stuck there for good
Also is there any way to choose which app to open a book in my iTunes to be sync'ed to my iPad?
What happens right now is if I add a file to my iTunes andsync to my iPad then it goes immediately to iBooks, while it can only be readwith other DMR-supported app
Thanks a ton in advance!

It's not possible to delete it. It CAN be disabled via restrictions, as can installing apps.
Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.

Removal of apps from iphone before syncing

While I've trolled through various threads I must confess to being completely confused as to why itunes wants to delete all my apps or music from my iphone if I want to add a new song, ringtone or whatever. It seems that once removed I am able to reinstall later.
Seems so illogical to have to do that everytime one wants to add something to my iphone.
I'm hoping someone can tell me that I'm missing something and it can't be as bad as I'm saying. Because if it is this bad then despite loving the iphone I will be strongly tempted to go Android where one can just drag and drop.

The apps that run om your 3G (which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1) may not run on your iPhone iOS 6.
On your iPhone 5 open the App Store then locate one of the apps that didn't sync.

Videos and TV programmes bought from itunes wont sync

I have bought some TV Programmes and videos from iTunes but despite ticking all the relevant boxes they wont sync to my ipod.
IPod Touch 2nd Gen 8gb

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
I suspect the items are HD version. Only the 4G and 5G can play/sync HD. If the suggestion in the above articles do not work you may to redownload an SD version (if available) by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

IPhone links then disconnects from iTunes before syncing is complete.

From the previous discussions I used the USB directly on my MAC instead of using a Hub. Problem solved! On another hub I couldn't charge my iPod. Once directly plugged into the computer, problem solved! Moral of the story, don't trust hubs!

Correct the time and date on the computer.

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.

Goood day, I just deleted Apps from iTunes so that I can create space - on my iPhone and to be able to update it to iOS 8 but still after sync the space didn't change - I have cleared all apps in the trash but still

How do have more space after deleting my apps from iTunes. I just deleted over 18 apps and then I sync after clearing the trash but still my space didn't move and its still showing that i have a lot of apps after deleting them.
Please advice

Did you do a reboot?

My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3. this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Deleting apps from iTunes Library and IOS Devices at once.

Hi there,
I tend to delete all unneeded apps from iTunes library on my Mac, because when I delete them from there, it just take one syncing session to deleted them from all my other devices. But recently I noticed that this way is no longer helpful, now I have to delete each app on my iPhone, iPad and Mac manually. So if anyone can help me to make iTunes recur to the previous pehevior, please replay ASAP.
Thanks.

I have the same problem! I recently decided to clean up my devices. The first thing that came to my mind was to delete an App from iTunes, sync and get rid of it on all other devices. I was surprised that it stays on iDevices evem after you delete it from iTunes. I don't want it this way. DOes anyone know of a trick that can allow me delete an app just once?
Before if you delete an App from iTunes and try to Sync an iPhone or an iPad with it, you would see a window telling you that there are items on your iphone that are not present in iTunes - do you want to copy them? Now it just "syncs" and leaves the Apps untouched. What kind of synchronization is this?

Nothing. iOS applications can't be run on a computer.

I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?

Apps purchased from the App Store in iTunes are only for iOS devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. To use such an app, you need to connect your iOS device to your computer and iTunes will send the app to the device. You then run the app on the device.
There is a separate Mac App Store (MAS) available to Macs running OS X 10.6.6 or later. You purchase apps in the same way as the App Store in iTunes, but apps purchase in the Mac App Store will work directly on the Mac.

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
Other than that, syncing is by device.
Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
Connect second device, repeat.
Connect third device, repeat.

Since I have iCloud enabled and have backed up to the "cloud," can I delete all apps from iTunes without them being deleted from my iPod?

Ok, so I have iCoud enabled on my iPod Touch, and I want to delete all my apps from iTunes without them deleting from my iPod, but iTunes says this:
Please tell me if this is possible. Thanks!
P.S.- When I get my iPhone next month, will all apps and "stuff" be there if I delete all the apps from iTunes and I turn off atomatic downloads to?

No. The iCloud storage feature is only for mobile devices. If you need more space get an external HD formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto Library to it. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library on the EHD to open. Once you've confirmed that the library is OK and working properly you can delete the library from your boot driver.
However, if you don't have a backup strategy in place you should consider doing so as soon as possible. A second EHD that's about 2X the size of your boot and first EHD is needed so you can use Time Machine to make hourly backups. Remember there's only 2 type of hard drives: 1 - those that have crashed and 2 - those that will.
