How do I back up my applications to iTunes?

I somehow got my music to sync, but my applications are not.
I have just downloaded the newest iTunes onto my Microsoft PC, and already I am lost. HELP!

No, this should be the number one thing you are concerned about.
Until you get this sorted, there is a good chance you may simply lose everything.
Do you hav ean external drive?
If so copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ empty the trash and recover this space.
Do this then Apple menu > Software update.
Restart the computer
Then post back.

As you have iOS 6 you must be a developer and therefore should know that discussing iOS 6 outside of the private developer only forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to gain access to it.
So, post your question in the private developer only forums.

HT4946 how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes

how to view backed up SMS messages in itunes or on my pc

If they are included in the iTunes backup, you do not view them. iTunes backups are not viewable, they are intended solely for restoring to an iOS device.
If the device has been used as designed and the pictures were regularly copied off the device to the computer, look in the folders where you put them.
If the device has been used as designed and contacts were synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, look in that application or cloud service.

How Do You Back-Up an Application That You Paid For and Downloaded?

Getting ready to do my first back-up EVER. I'm actually using 10.4.11 still, and am backing up before I install Leopard. But I DON'T want to back-up EVERY SINGLE APP on my iMac, because I already have many apps on CD. But there are a few apps I've bought online and downloaded. How do I back up just those? Is it as simple as dragging the icon of the app from the Applications folder to the back-up drive???

Hi Smokerz,
Yeah, that's what I thought. Just dragging from the Applications folder doesn't take into account any files the application has created in the Library > Application Support folder and I don't know where else (but I wouldn't be surprised if there are other places and files, depending on the nature of the app.)
Dang. I've never saved the dmg file or the pkg file from anything I've downloaded. Live and learn.
And of course, any other insights or possibilities, anyone?
Thanks!

How to get back to a version of iTunes that works?

I made the mistake of installing iTunes 10 - now my iPod is no longer recognized. How can I get an older version of iTunes to work? Each time I uninstall iTunes 10 and install an older version it won't start up. I get the error message that it was installed by a newer version so it can't be opened. I don't get it. Is there a way to completely wipe iTunes 10 off my computer besides going through the program manager to uninstall it? Had anyone heard if Apple is working on a fix for this buggy version of iTunes?

montana,
First of all, make sure Windows is showing file extensions and not hiding them from you.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries\iTunes Library 2010-09-03.itl
That is my version 9 library that I updated on Sept 3rd. Yours can have a different date, but you get the idea.
Copy & paste it one folder up, into this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Delete the version 10 itunes file, since you are not going to be using it.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
Right-click and rename the copy of the itunes v9 file so the date part is gone
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library 2010-09-03.itl

How request money back form an application?

Hi all,
yesterday i bought a new apps called "Crazy moto 2" payed 2,34€ on app store.
this game is the same (same levels) of "hello moto" from the same developer. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
how request?
thanks

You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

How do I back up my iPhone through iTunes to an external HDD; my iTunes library is already on the external HDD

Hello, this is my first time posting a question to the apple support community.
I have a bit of a (possibly unique) problem. Due to space limitations on my internal SSD, I have moved my iTunes library to an external HDD. However iTunes still backs up my iOS devices locally (~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup). This is causing a problem as it is making my SSD very full, the only way to remedy this is to remove old backups manually. Is there anyway to backup these iOS devices to the external HDD where my iTunes library is?
Thanks very much!

I am a bit confused now. I did the download and extraction of the junction utility. Now I want to backup my 32 gb iPhone 5 to the external, not the internal hard drive of my computer. I didn't quite understand the example of the path they wanted me to use. Should I physically just cut and paste the folder of my backup from Settings and Documents, etc., or how do you get the junction utility to do that? I'm not following and I'm usually excellent with computers.
I'm on a PC, running XP. Thanks.

How do I get feedback on Application in iTune U?

I'm trying to apply for an application to provide content on iTunes U on behalf of the nonprofit I work for. We are an education nonprofit that develops content for and provides professional development to educators. Seems like a good fit for iTunes U. When I applied, I never heard back. When I went to try to apply again, I saw that it said application not approved. It seems like we fit all of the requirements and I see other organizations that do similiar work to ours. Just wondering if anyone has been able to connect with anyone at Apple around the application process and getting feedback on their application?
Thanks!

Might try sending an email to [email protected]

How do you back up photo's in iTunes from the iPhone?

Hi,
The buttons on my phone are screwed and need repairing. I've been advised to back up the phone but for some reason the back up isn't including all the photo's on there? Is there something that needs selecting on iTunes to import them over?
Thanks in advance

TS1368 i have just upgraded my ipad to iOS6 and my itunes has now chosen the itunes store Czech republic as my default iTunes store. I am currently in CZ but my iTunes account is a UK based account. How to revert back so it defaults to iTunes UK?

Help? How can I make my Ipad revert to my itunes uk account? Since upgrading to iOS6 it is using iTunes CZ as ny default (i am currently in CZ)

I had the exact same issue with mine. But I'm in Mexico. It was forcing me to use iTunes in Spanish even though my account is in the US. I turned my iPad off, then on again, and presto! My iTunes is back into English and my account is recognized again.
