Having trouble syncing apps

I have had an iTouch for quite a while. Just bought an iPad. The apps will not auto sync to new iPad. All apps are checked but will not sync.

Try this...
1. Open and update iTunes.
2. Go to iTunes>Preferences: 'check' the 'Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically."
3. Then go to FILE>Transfer purchases from "so-and-so's iPad"
You should now be able to get all the iPad apps into iTunes and manage them manually. You will have to re-sync, but at least you're re-syncing with the apps you want and not just your old apps. Also, do not fear, a back-up will be made of your current iPad setup in case something should go wrong.
Hope this helps.

Still having trouble syncing apps to my touch

2nd generation touch. Tried deleting free app and then reinstalling. It shows it's syncing on touch and then an error message pops up and it says unknown error has occurred -53 Has anyone had this problem and was able to fix it? Thanks for your help.

welcome to the discussion area, mafv60 and happy new year !
you could try this:
1) shut down iTunes.
2) shut down your iPod Touch normally and disconnect from your computer.
3) launch on iTunes.
4) with the iPod Touch still off, reconnect it to your computer.
a sync should happen now.
any help ?

Having trouble syncing Apps download on iPhone 3Gs to computer, HELP?

I have had an iPhone 3G for almost a year now and have downloaded numerous Apps. Some that I have purchased and other that were free. I want to download the new iPhone update and restore my phone but don't want to lose the Apps I purchased. I switched apple accounts about 1/2 a year ago because it was linked to an email that I used in high school and created a professional one for college. Is their any way on identify the account used to download certain Apps and if the email address it may be linked to no longer exists is there anyway to download the App without being charged a second time? The main reason I would like to do this is my HDD crashed and after installing a new one my iPhone no longer recognizes it.

Can you give us the exact error message, please.
Otherwise there could be a thousand different things going on!
In the meantime try the reset if you haven't done that yet (maybe it helps, at least it's quick): press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons and releasing them, when the Apple logo appears on the display.

I am having trouble syncing one app I downloaded to my ipad to my iphone. Finally got it to computer, but now it won't sync to my iPhone

I am having trouble updating apps through iTunes, iTunes shuts down when I try to sync.

I am having trouble updating apps that I have on my iPhone through iTunes. I go through the update then when syncing I get an error message iTunes has to shut down. The only way I have been able to work around is to delete the app and download it again. If I don't do this the app says waiting on my iPhone.

I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

I am having trouble syncing my files in my CC storage between devices. If I upload files on my iMac, they don't appear in my CC iPhone app. Why? This is maddening, as I need to work between devices. Please advise.

Error: "Unable to sync files"

Having trouble syncing all of my apps from my computer to my 3Gs iphone. Computer says that I have 13 pages of apps, phone only has 11. How can I sync the other pages to my phone?

Having trouble sycning apps to phone.

Your apps are probably on the iphone. Have you done a search?
There are only11 pages available to show apps. The apps are on there, they just cannot just be displayed on the page, unless you put them in folders.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I am having trouble syncing my books in itunes to my new iphone 5. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Having trouble syncing books in my itunes to my iphone. I must be missing a step. Can someone help me? Thanks.

How are you trying to do it ? If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S if using a PC.
To sync books, connect the phone to your computer and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of iTunes select the Books tab :
You should then be able to select which books/PDFs that you want to sync to the iBooks app (and/or which audiobooks to sync to the Music app).
Is that how you are trying to do it ?

I have mail Ver. 7 and I am having trouble syncing my work gmail account

Hi,
From the time I have upgraded to Mavericks, I am having trouble syncing my gmail emails. After the mail update my personal mail accounts from gmail are working fine but I am still having trouble with my office gmail account. I am receving new emails in my web browser inbox but not in the mail application. Also, I could only see the new messages if I quit the mail application and relauch it. Please suggest any remedy?

So you don't want any help from your fellow users, then. OK, that's fine. But #1 is not a "recourse", it's just a complaint.
As to #2, if you don't want to call Apple Support again, you can use Apple's Support Feedback page:

Having trouble syncing iPad to get movies onto it.....any ideas?

For some reason I am having trouble syncing movies onto my iPad. They are in my iTunes library, I check the box hit apply/sync then nothing.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Been there, done that...........
It appears that when I sync it seems the sync is syncing the computer with the iPad not iPad with computer.
I have delegated all movies on iPad when I check some movies on iTunes it adds the purple bar at the bottom and availability of space decreases accordingly. When I hir apply/sync it goes through the process then when finishes step four the purple bar at the bottom goes and available space increases again.

HT4235 Having trouble syncing itunes playlist to ipod

I am having trouble syncing my itunes playlist to the ipod touch. When I connect the ipod to the computer and open itunes, the ipod shows that it is in the sync process. However, the playlist does not show up. The Diagnostic Test shows "no ipod found". I installed the newest version of itunes and have reset the sync history.

Hi windylina,
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
After connecting your iPod touch to the computer, choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have see the options to sync "Entire music library" and sync "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". If the latter is selected, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. It may be that the specific playlist you are referring to is not checked.
For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

I am having trouble syncing my iphone 4s to the Itunes 9.2.1.I tried to update the Itunes ,but my mac is too old and would not accept the latest version of itunes.Is there anything more i can do ,short of buying a new computer?

Syncing an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3 or earlier requires at least a G4 Mac running 10.5.8.
Syncing an iPhone 4S running iOS 7 requires at least an Intel Mac running 10.6.8.
If your computer can't be upgraded to the required OS version, buy a secondhand or refurbished one which can.
