Changing applications on the iPhone

I was trying to add applications to my iPhone and even if I checked them in iTunes they did not sync. Do I have to drag each application to the iPhone screen in iTunes for syncing to work? Thanks.

Were all apps purchased/downloaded with the same iTunes account with iTunes on your computer?
You have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and when selecting an app that is not currently selected and installed on your iPhone followed by a sync, the app is not installed on your iPhone? If so, any error message provided?

  • Slow WI-FI transfer using native YouTube application on the iPhone 3G

    Hello all,
    I have seen several posts similar to the one that I'm making now, but since my newest discovery brings a small twist to the issue when compared to the other cases, I decided to make a new thread.
    My issue is with the native YouTube application for the iPhone 3G, as it is mysteriously slow. A lot of people mention that lowering the router to B/G standards will remedy the issue. However, I do not think this issue is related to this because when I launch Safari on the iPhone and go to apple.com/trailers the speed is lightning fast. I did some WI-FI comparison testing:
    PC: XP Pro SP3 running all drivers at newest releases incl. updating motherboard firmware.
    iPhone 3G: Firmware v2.1
    Connection: 10 Mbit/2 Mbit
    Safari cookies, history, and cache cleared after each attempt on both iPhone and PC. Also, I closed Safari, ran CCleaner (just to make sure all temporary data was gone), and reopened Safari on the PC while Powercycling the iPhone 3G between each attempt.
    Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psYClvuONG4
    Length: 1 min. 45 sec.
    Load time on PC using Safari: roughly 25 sec.
    Load time on iPhone using Safari: roughly 4 (FOUR!) min. 30 sec.
    After this I directed Safari on both iPhone and PC at:
    Movie: http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/splinter/
    Length: 1 min. 38 sec.
    Load time on PC using Safari: roughly 5 sec. (for the small size as iPhone format does not seem to be available when browsing with a PC)
    Load time on iPhone using Safari: Roughly 10 sec.
    I do not know what is going on here. Do the size and/or compression of the two movie formats differ so much from each other that this could explain the normal transfer speed via apple.com/trailers? Or is there an issue with the YouTube application? Maybe the YouTube conversion system? Could it be a routing and/or hardware (on either ISP, ISP carrier or YouTube itself) issue in case there are "localized portals" for YouTube depending on the user's geographical location?
    In general, speed is not an issue. Performing speed tests towards a localized server in Denmark using my iPhone give excellent results compared to the connection speed I am paying for, and I do not have issues surfing elsewhere via the iPhone. It is only when I use the native YouTube application on iPhone 3G that my transfer rates are poor.
    I really want to solve this problem before I go nuts...
    Best regards

    About a week ago YouTube stopped connecting on my iPhone 3G -- as far as I know nothing changed on my end. The YouTube application seems to function normally, bookmarked videos are still there and play, for example, but it will not update, not search, etc. I get a message that YouTube is not available.

  • We used the same id for her phone an sisters iPod now everything goes to her phone is there anyway to change it on the iPhone and keep it for the iPod

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I have two iPhones and an iPad under same Apple ID. How can I change one of the iPhones to a separate id?

    I have 2 iPhones & an iPad under 1 Apple ID. How can I change 1 of the iPhones to a separate account?

    Sign out of the Apple ID on the device in question, making sure to disable the Find My iDevice feature.
    Sign in with the new Apple ID.
    If the intent is to sell the device, simply restore as new after disabling the Find My iDevice and signing out.

  • ITunes deleted all the Applications from the iPhone...

    I just plugged in my iPhone to charge the battery and as it began to Sync, I saw it was deleting applications.
    At first I thought this was happening as a part of updating a couple of the apps, but as I watched it begin to delete them all, I switched to the Applications tab and saw that while "Selected Applications" was checked, none of the Applications themselves were.
    Then iTunes began telling me it couldn't sync because "the disk couldn't be found" or something like that. After a few attempts, I turned the phone off and on.
    In iTunes I selected the apps I wanted on the phone and then plugged it back in. I started the syncing process and the apps began copying to the phone.
    BUT, when I checked the Applications tab, I noticed it had reverted to my previous list of selected Apps. Now I get to perform the unpleasant task of trying to rearrange them the way I had them. Fortunately I make screenshots of each page when I make changes, but moving them between pages and getting them to settle in where you want them is a pain the butt.
    I don't know what caused this to happen, but it's unnerving.

    A bit of a similar story.
    Bought a new MBP, and transferred everything from the old MB to it. The migration process is just amazing, at least it seemed so.
    Due to limited disc size in MB, I had iTunes library on an AirDisc. The setup was a constant pain in the butt, since iTunes seems to be faster than the waking up of the sleeping connection, leading constantly to "lost" songs. One of the reasons for buying the MBP was to have the iTunes library (of about 90GB) on its disc.
    The migration did not transfer the library of course and I did it manually by connecting a USB cable, configuring iTunes music folder pointing to MBP and consolidating library. I have no idea why, but it took three attempts to finally succeed, I eventually had to erase all songs from iTunes and then choose "Add to Library" pointing to the disc as a whole.
    Everything looked cool, except of course empty playlists. Connected the first iPhone, and got a message asking if I want to transfer purchased apps from the phone to iTunes. In case on answering "NO" they would be erased from the iPhone. Obviously I chose the transfer. To my amazement, iTunes started to promptly erase apps. As some others here, I thought it is part of the process. After the sync I noticed that apps were really erased from the phone.
    Came here and did the logoff-logon, unauthorize-authorize trick, hooked the other iPhone the the MBP and after the same dialogue as above, this time iTunes did copy apps back to the computer.
    Synced the first iPhone, and everything came back to normal.
    Without the second iPhone, I do not know what I would have done.
    Obviously, when changing to a new computer, you should authorize it BEFORE the first sync.

  • How can I get my phone to stop deleting my changes made in Address book without deleting the changes made on the iPhone?

    On my old Macbook whenever I would sync my iphone, if I had changed something on the calendar it gives me the option to choose between the computer event or the iphone event (so lets say I'm out and I changed the time of my appointment on my phone, when I get home and sync my phone I choose to keep the time I changed it to on my phone, not what's on my computer).
    Now... what's happening is I'm getting the message: syncing your contacts will change more than 5% of the contacts on the COMPUTER. So that means, all the bulk changes I just made in address book on the computer are going to get deleted and replaced with what is originally on the phone. That's not what I want. I want to change what's on the phone with the changes I made on the computer in address book. Make sense? How do I do that? Because I don't necessarily want to wipe out everything on the phone because I don't know if that has been transferred to the address book... So If I added some phone numbers within the last month (i don't remember the last time I synced my phone), then I would loose them if I chose to replace information on the phone with what's on the computer (there's an option to do that under info when syncing).
    Does that make sense? Please let me know it this is at all confusing. I'm really trying to resolve this before Saturday early morning ... My mom is going out of town and it's her work phone, so I need to figure this out for her. Thanks a bunch!

        mnjclark,
    I'm glad to hear that you have found a work-a-round so that your device works while making calls meanwhile being connected to Bluetooth to your automobile.
    At this time, based on the way the device was manufactured, there is no setting available that will allow this change to be permanent. When the device is rebooted, the settings may be adjusted which will require you to manually change back to CDMA only mode if needed.

  • Is there a phone application for the iphone that is more Senior friendly then the Apple app that comes with it?

    My Dad who is 81 is finding his iphone difficult to use. At first I was surprised that he struggles to use it. He had no problems using his old style cell phone. But after trying to teach him how to use the iphone I can now see why he struggles with it.  If the phone could have the features I've listed below it would make things so much easier for him.
    1) With the exception of incoming phone calls, the phone app always opens to the same screen. This screen gives the choices of Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keyboard and Voicemail  in big blocks in the center of the screen. 
    2) There is a setting for the speaker so that it can be set to always be on. If the user doesn't want the speaker for a particular call or voice mail message  there is a  button on the screen to turn it off temporarily on the upper right corner. 
    3) The dot button used to listen to a voicemail message is a bigger dot. And it remains visible after listening to the message. It changes color rather then completely disappearing after listening to the message.  
    4) The upper left corner is reserved for only edit or to navigate back buttobs.  The phone app has a greeting button in this spot on the Voicemail screen. A better place for recording a greeting would be in settings.

  • How to contact the author of an application on the iPhone AppStore?

    Is there a link on the iPhone AppStore to send questions or suggestions to the developer of an application?
    (If not, why isn't there one? )

    Thank you Varjak!
    So it's as I supposed...
    Unfortunately I don't have iTunes installed on this PC, so that's why I searched on the iTunes webpage...
    And indeed I don't understand why they don't provide the same link on the iTunes webpage. (maybe to "encourage" you to open the iTunes application, or maybe in order not to provide links between the iTunes page and the developer page, links which would be processed by the search engine bots and the page ranking algorithms...)

  • Where can I find the iPod application for the iPhone?

    My son (3yrs) just deleted the iPod application to watch videos and to listen to music on my iPhone 3Gs. Where can I find the download to reinstall this vital application? The fact that the application is called iPod and there are millions of hits for the iPod makes the search very tedious...
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It can't be deleted, it's been moved to another page where you most likely can't see/find it, so do this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

  • Is there a way to transfer applications from the iphone to pc w/o syncing

    So my hard drive failed and I didn't have a back up of itunes. I was easily able to get songs and video by opening up my ipod video as a hard drvie through explorer. BUT...
    My applications aren't on the ipod. I tried going in backwards in the iphone but I couldn't figure out how to. I can get almost all of the apps from the app store because they don't charge you to re-download applications but I have one that isn't in the app store anymore. Anyway for me to get that off the iphone onto my computer?
    Thanks for all your help!

    Isn't it nice when there's an easy solution? Thanks for the !

  • Buying Applications via the IPhone 4

    I have been using ITunes successfully with my IPod Touch for a few years now. I've just got my 1st IPhone 4 and everything seems ok, but I'm having a problem downloading applications from the App store. Keep getting the error unable to connect, but I'm able to search and view the App Store, the problem only happens when I try to buy / download.

    Have you tried accessing your account details from within Settings|Store? When you buy an app it should try give you a popup for your iTunes password but it sounds like it is dropping at this point.

  • How to transfer new applications from the iphone to itunes?

    When I want to update the IOS to 7 Itunes I get an Itunes warning "There are new bought apps in the Iphone that hasn't been transfered to Itunes" ,
    How do I transfer the apps to Itunes?. All the apps are updated in both the Iphone and Itunes.

    Thanks very much.  First valid answer I've gotten despite my posts on LinkedIn and Facebook, totalling over 8000 "friend"-connections.
    BUT, is this really the best program?  I heard about "Senuti", and another one at Apple called Files Transfer... 
    I have no problem paying for which ever program does the job, but in todays world, it seems only 2% of all programs work, or does what it actualy says. 
    AND, how does this program you suggest, actually interact with iTunes, and MacBook?  In the future once all music is finally tranferred, do I get all the same folder, and order, which I've spend many many many hours setting up on my prvious iTunes...
    Thanks a lot.
