Does installing an app over Itunes, then syncing it to my ipod use less storage space?

Does installing an app over Itunes, then syncing it to my ipod use less storage space, instead of installing it on the device itself.
If yes, how does this work, please explain lol.

Does anyone know the answer?

how can i transfer videos from my Windows 7 laptop to iTunes then sync it to my iPod 4th Gen? im having a hard time transferring vampire diaries series videos to my ipod.. only some of them were transferred and it did that when i tried syncing photos to my ipod..

You import them into your iTunes Move library and then sync them to your iPod

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
You may need a thrid-party progtam to convert them to a compatible formation.
Do the non-syncing ones play in iTunes on the computer?

If I click on one app in itunes then sync will I only have one app on my po

I accidentally deleted an app from my ipod touch. It's in my itunes library but when i tick it then click sync it starts deleting all apps on ipod, I panic and stop it.
If I left it going would it delete all my ipod and only leave me with the one app I told it to sync?
Is there a way of just moving one app?
Do the apps on the computer contain the progress as well?
Sorry but still new at this.

The only apps that will be on your ipod after you sync, will be those that are selected. If you de-select an app, then it will be deleted from the ipod.

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes? Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also? I haven't done this before with just an app. Thanks.

Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.

If I download an app on iTunes and sync with my iPhone it shows up as 'waiting'

If I buy the app on my computer using iTunes, then sync my iPhone with my computer the app shows up as "Waiting" and its faded out until I get to a Wi-Fi network (or 3G if I have service) so it can redownload itself. If I buy an app off of the iPhone sometimes it works just fine and other times it does the same thing with the "Waiting" until I resync my iPhone with iTunes. It's like every app I download, I have to download twice...

I assumed somebody would suggest that, but that is not the issue that I wanna make.
Often I browse apps like appsfire or appsgonefree on my ipad and I end up downloading apps that I know I'm gonna use on my iphone and vice versa. Or I'm at work downloading some app from a web link on my work PC, knowing that I'll find it installed on my ipad when I get home.This is a feature and it's actually convenient for me, so I don't really want to disable it.
But I also find myself reinstalling apps on my devices when I sync them with itunes, just because I have forgotten that I initially installed them one my phone and deleted them because I didn't like them.
So, what I'm asking is, shouldn't there be a flag or something, that, when enabled, permitted you to choose If you wanted to uninstall an app from all devices and libraries?
Isn't this a logical request?
Surely, I mustn't be the only one that is annoyed by this omission in iOS!

How do I install an APP from ITunes to my IPhone?

how do I install an APP from ITunes to my IPhone?

This is covered in the Iphone user guide. I suggest you read it as syncing apps is a very basic function of the device.

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

Thanks Turingtest2,
I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it. I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then. Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

I had deleted my Apps Icon from the phone as I was trying to update the new version iOS4.3.
However, after deleteing the Icon, I am not able to install the Apps Messenger again because I am not able to use the IOS.4.3 diagnostic password sent via email.
Installation was rejected because I need the iOS.4.3
Thanks for your help

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?

Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder

Does iCloud use up storage space on my MacBook too?

Does iCloud use up storage space on my MacBook too? When I copied files from an external drive to my iCloud drive, my available space on my MacBook went from 40GB free to less than 2 GB. I thought iCloud was separate storage where I can free up space on my MacBook.

To free up space you want to look for:
1) files you no longer need. Omni DiskSweeper will help you see what's on the SSD.
2) if you use iPhoto be aware that it has its own trash can. If you delete files from iPhoto you must then right click on the iPhoto trash can and select delete or the pictures remain on the hard drive.
3) look for movies, tv shows, digital photos and music you can move to an external drive or mini-flash drive and then delete from the SSD. These are very large files so you can free up lots of space with just a few deletions. Example: my entire Documents folder is smaller than one two hour movie.

Help!!! ISO5 installed and now my itunes store/sync won't work

Hi, a few days ago i installed the iso5 update, eversince then i have not been able to access the itunes store. When i plug my ipod in it says 'backing up', it regognised my ipod but so does computer to open files which usually doesn't happen. When i plug my ipod out it still says 'backing up' and itunes is impossible to use, my ipod still works fine. I have checked that i have the most up to date itunes 10.5. I have unintalled and reinstalled itunes 3 times. The second time last night it worked and I synced my ipod, then today by ipod started 'backing up' and now I can't do anything. Can anyone help, is there anyway just to revert back to IOS4, everything worked fine and I was happy, i dont need or want the up date, i found the apple page with the last IOS software but it says the download is avalible on itunes which i can access.
Has anyone had the same problems? and if so how have you solved them?
Thanks

I updated iTunes to v10.5 and then plugged my iPOD Touch 4 (32GB), which invited me to update from iOS4 to iOS5. The download trundled on for about an hour (as they do!), but during the download, or installation (I can't remember) which a flag appeared with 'Rescuing' or a similar phrase, and carried on downloadin. The download appeared to finish OK and then the sync cycle began. All my Apps, contacts etc synced OK, but the iTunes syc stopped after only a small fraction of my tunes were synced. A message came up 'sync canceled'. I have tried changing from 'sync' all tunes in Library to selected Playlists, but no joy. All the songs appear to be on the iPOD, but only those in bold play. The rest are in pale script and don't play. I was going to delete all my tunes from the iPOD and readd fron my iTunes library from scratch, but I don't know how to do that. Perhaps upgrading both iTunes & iPOD consecutively was pushing it!
I would be very grateful if anyone can help. Thanks
