Have never been able to sync apps

Hi guys. I have never been able to sync my apps. I have tried ticking and unticking the "automatically install new apps" under the apps tab in iTunes. Under preferences: general: sources, I have made sure that Apps is ticked. When I try to back up the phone, there's a pop up message that says, "there are apps on your phone which are not in your iTunes library. Would you like to back up these apps from your iPhone?" Even though I select, "back up apps," nothing ever backs up.
Under device, in the Apps tab for syncing, on the right side, I see a screen shot of all of the pages and apps exactly as it appears on my phone. But on the left, where the list is, there is nothing in the list.
In the Apps tab under Library, there is absolutely nothing.
What is the problem? My guess: I have never downloaded or bought an app using my computer. I have always downloaded/installed/bought apps using the blue App Store icon on my phone. Could this be why I can't sync apps to the computer?

I deauthorized and then reauthorized my iTunes and this seems to have done the trick!

    i dont even know if im in the right community.
    anyway, the thing im having trouble with is syncing my notes. im pretty sure i have the most recent software for the iphone 3, i think. however, i've never been able to sync notes from the iphone to my laptop. i havent even had the option before. i do now, but on the info tab for my iphone, the one that pops up when it's plugged into the laptop, it has the option to check the box next to sync notes with... however, there's nothing on the drop down menu, so even with the sync notes with.. option selected, nothing happens.
    i have 350+ notes, so emailing them to myself is out of the question. any help would be much appreciated!!

    Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
    Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

    The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
    I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
    I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

  • HT5661 i have an iphone 3 i am selling .. if i go to erase all content and settings .. will the apps still be on the phone .. i've never been able to add apps to this phone and don't want to lose them

    how do i prepare my iphone 3 to sell ..
    i've never been able to download new apps so i don't want to lose the apps that are on there
    am i to reset all settings? or erase all content and settings? or reset network settings?

    Only the apps that are part of iOS will remain on the phone.
    If you're going to sell it, use "Erase All Content and Settings".
    If you're selling it, what difference does it make to you if the apps get erased? You don't have the legal right to transfer any apps you bought to anyone else.  Not to mention the fact that you stated you have never been able to download new apps...
    Why don't you just re-post the question in your native language.  There are so many contradictions in your post that i don't believe you're conveying the questions you think you are.

  • I have never been able to backup my iPhones to the iCloud, why?

    I had an iPhone 4 and now have an iPhone 4s updated to the latest iOS. To date I have never been able to back it up my iPhones to the iCloud. I have been thru all the iPads and now have the newest iPad and have never had problems backing that device up to the iCloud. They both share the same content, music, apps etc. My iPhone will get halfway and just stops saying it couldn't complete the back up, but gives no reason why...very frustrating especially for the high regards I have for the dependability of Apple products.  Guess I can't post pics, so here are the details..It gets to 1 minute remaining then stops. The message says " last back up could not be completed".. Last back up "never".  On the next screen it shows my iPhone and iPads combined storage of 2.2GB. My iCloud space say 2.7GB available of 5.0 on iCloud. Any ideas?

    What do you mean by this? Did you restore the phone from an iCloud backup? Did you configure your iCloud account on the replacement phone? Was the original backed up or synced to iCloud to begin with?

    I have never been able to upgrade my phone I always get an error message after it goes 2 hours on the computer someone told me I could do it wifi but I don't know where to go to start the download

    Make sure you have the right system requirements before you start to update the iOS, you will need:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

    I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS).  Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one.  But I want it to sync with my stuff.  What can I do?  I haven't been able to find help anywhere online...  Thanks!

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

    I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

    You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
    You can try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
    I would try on another computer.

    I have never been able to use the Macmail feature.  Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct.  Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in.  It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me.  Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

    Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
    Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

    You may have to get Pacifist...

    then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
    Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
    Ron

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • Cannot and have never been able to connect to a testing server

    Hello
    I am using Dreamweaver and am trying to set up a testing site using IIS.  I can’t get it set up.  It says I don’t have administrative privileges.  I am the administrator.  This is a home computer and I am the only user  of the computer. I am just a novice.
    I posted my problem in an Adobe forum.  I was told to enter a command in the  administrator command because I am not an administrator (this made me scratch my head???).  The following is what I was told to enter:
    icacls %systemdrive%\inetpub /grant  %userdomain%\%username%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %userdomain%\%username%:F
    it does not work and says there is no command for” icasis”  I am not sure what I need to enter, however.  For system drive I put “C”.  For user name I put the name of my computer. For user name I put my user name.
    This is what I ended up with and this is what I put in the administrators command prompt:
    icacls %C%\inetpub /grant  %Joe-II%\%jtb%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %Joe-II%\%jtb%:F
    I am sure this is wrong.
    In addition, in properties of inetpub wwwroot it says I have read and write for both administrator and iis_iusrs privilages (I set it up following a DW tutorial).
    So why can’t I set up testing server on iis? This problem has gone on for years.  I have newer versions of Adobe and operating systems and I have never been able to set up a testing server.  By the way, this is windows 8 professional.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  I would even pay someone to solve my problem but don’t know where I would go to do this.

    << Response was:
    Hello,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues.
    From the information you have provided, it would appear that your issue is based somewhere in the user account permissions configuration on your PC.
    I recommend taking the following steps to ensure your user account has administrative permissions:
    Open your "Start" menu and right click on "Computer" (or "My Computer" depending on your version of Windows).
    Select "Manage".
    In the new window titled "Computer Management", select "Local Users and Groups" under "System Tools".
    Select the folder labeled "Users" and find your user account in the right panel.
    Right click on your user name and select "properties".
    Select the "Member of" tab and verify that you see "Administrators."
    If not, you can select "Add" and then type "Administrators" in the field labeled "Enter the object names to select".
    Please update us with the results once you've followed these instructions and we can troubleshoot based on that further information.
    Be sure to let us know of any error messages or pop up windows you encounter.

    Perhaps one of the hits returned on a google search "setting up iis server" will help: https://www.google.com/search?q=setting+up+iis+server&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozil la:en-US:official&client=firefox-a.
    I sympathize, as I had a lot of trouble trying to set up a localhost server on a Win8 computer. Experienced many false starts. Finally got it working to the extent I could actually work on a WP site locally, but the set up is still weird in that when I uploaded all the new files to make them live, nothing updated. Ended up making all the changes again to the live site.
