How can I sync only certain apps after a restore instead of all of them?
I've been serisouly frustrated with iTunes trying to find a way to sync only the apps I want to sync. But iTunes insists that I sync every single app I have downloaded in the past to my phone and I don't want all of them on there. Now after restoring I have a bunch of apps on my phone waiting to sync and now have to either restore again or individually delete all 155 of them. Are there certain settings I'm missing here? Please help!!
Thanks for the help I did not receive
Hey, glad I didn't help.
I mean, you waited a whole 38 minutes for someone to volunteer their assistance.
FYI:
Select the iPhone in iTunes.
Click the Apps tab.
Click Sync apps and tick the apps you want to sync.
Click Apply at bottom.
You're welcome.
After literally digging for forever.
Something less than 38 minutes is forever? (time it took to post first question, find answer, get upset and post 2nd time).
Oh, and thanks for posting how you resolved the issue so others (who may not get an immediate reply) will know how to solve a similar issue without getting upset.

Hi
The tick box seems to have disappeared from Apps when syncing - just bought a new ipad mini and don't want all my apps on it but without the tick box I'm not sure how to select only the ones I want. Can anyone tell me how I now select only certain apps.Hey Maggiely,
Thanks for the question. The following article may have the answer to your question:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Add apps to iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
Select Sync Apps, and click Install next to the apps you want to sync. If you have iOS 3.1 or later, you can also do the following:
- Drag apps from the list on the left to the Home screen on the right.
- Arrange your device’s Home screens by dragging app icons to where you want them to appear.
Thanks,

Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab. This article should be able to assist you with this.

HT1386 how can i sync only my contacts thru my computer but everything else with icloud
I have XP, how can I sync only my contacts thru my computer (with Itunes) but keep everything on Icloud backup?
1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"
>connect iPhone to PC
> on iTunes click your iPhone's name
> then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails
leave 'sync contacts' ticked
then you should be fine -
How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
I sync various Aperture photo albums to my IPad and iPhone. The problem is that when I have 'stacked' images (eg. one image showing in the album and two other copies 'hidden' underneath), all of the photos in the stack are copied to the ipad and iPhone. So instead of seeing just one version of an image, I see as many as are in the stack. How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
Thanks for your help!I solved my own problem.
The sync problem seemed to only occur on smart albums. There is a new check box option in Aperture 3 when making a smart album: "sync stack pick only." One click and the problem is solved! -
The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?
If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

HT4098 how can i cancel my zoosk app and not be charge at all
how can i cancel my zoosk app and nt be chanrge at all?
If it's an auto-renewing subscription then there are instructions on that page that you posted from on how to manage and cancel them. If you've already paid then, from the app's description page in the store :
No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.
So you can only stop the next payment happening -
My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -

what can i do...help!I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4 I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back? -
I had gotten this iPad 2 from one of my relatives who had already purchased some apps using her Apple ID, after I got the iPad, I downloaded some apps from iTunes on PC through my own Apple ID, when I try to sync them to my iPad, they tell me to authorize my computer, but I've already done that. So, how can I sync my apps to my iPad? (By the way, I don't know anything about the Apple ID of my relative).
delete/uninstall the apps that your relative downloaded on you iPad. to do that tap and hold on and icon til it shakes, once its shaking downloaded apps will havee (X) mark on them on a red bubble, tap on it to delete

I thought that originally too, but that's all changed with the pool of apps that are out there now. So now what I'm trying to do is to prove that technology is progressing to the point where a tiny, handheld phone can produce images that are nearly as good as photos taken with much more expensive and bulky equipment. I've got my share of expensive bulky camera equipment, but I'm finding that I'm having much more enjoyment out of using my iPhone from initial capture, to editing, to publishing, and achieving results that are nearly as good.
I do think you're working under a bit of a handicap. For example, lens quality. Here's an iPhone photo example of some wild turkeys in the neighborhood masked by flare that would be much better controlled on an SLR lens (click to enlarge - the flare is obvious, the turkeys are not):
At the same time, working under a handicap can definitely spur creativity, similar to the oft-cited example of swapping out your zoom lens for a prime to force yourself to pay attention to composition.
It's an interesting concept - I wish you luck! -
