How to update iPhone app from iTunes

The update to the Skype iPhone app is pretty big and was taking forever to download on my phone (5, iOS 7.1.2) so I downloaded it on iTunes instead. Phone is cable connected to the 'puter, and I've clicked "update" against the Skype app. It has switched from Update to "Will Update". My question is when? I've clicked Sync, I;ve clicked Apply, I've dragged the icon to the iPhone screen. Nothing happening. How do I get it to update?
Thanks!

I've never tried it the way you describe, but the following has always worked for me. Without the phone attached to the computer, open iTunes, click on Apps under Library in the pane on the left (if you have the Sidebar showing) or select Apps at the left of the top bar, and then click Updates in the top bar. Any apps that don't have the most recent copy already downloaded to your computer should appear. You can then Update All or select a single one to update. After completion, connect the phone and sync the apps to the phone.

  • How to update iPhone Apps with iTunes 11?

    I'm having trouble updating my iPhone Apps using iTunes. I've already transferred my purchases from my iPhone to my mac.
    I've downloaded updates for the iPhone apps, but for some reason I can't sync the updated apps to my iPhone.
    Is there an option to make sure my iPhone apps will sync from my mac to my iPhone and vice-versa?

    I clicked the Apps tab and when I'm on the Apps page, there's no checkbox or anything next to the Apps title on the page like the Music, Movies, etc pages. where do I go from there?
    I know that how we used to do it, but in iTunes 11, Apple removed the checkbox for sync Apps on the Apps page. So is there another way now to select "Sync Apps"?

  • How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

    how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • How do I delete apps from iTunes for iPhone?

    Okay, I delteted the app from my iPhone, but iTunes wants to reinstall it. No obvious way to delete the app from iTunes. Of course, when I find out how, it will be facepalm time.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the responses!
    Path to get to iPhone Apps in 10.6.7 is:
    Users::your_name::Music::iTunes::Mobile Applications
    It would have been easier to just search for the App name, duh. Hindsight is so 20/20.

  • How to update iphone apps over 100mb

    how do I update iphone apps over 100mb in itunes?

    Meg's answer is, as always, correct.
    I am confused by the "in iTunes" portion of your question.
    Are you asking how to download large apps using iTunes on your computer?  Or is "in iTunes" referring to iTunes on your iPhone?
    If you mean download large apps using iTunes on your computer (instead of your iPhone) and then syncing the apps to your iPhone, you might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > [Automatic Download] Apps = "Off"

  • How do I delete apps from itunes history and stopping autodownload to laptop?

    I've seen this discussion thread a million times over on the apple support forum. I want ot delete a game I downloaded for free on my ipad that are over a GB each in size. All I can do is hide them on my itunes account on the computer, but they keep on autodownloading each time I start itunes.
    I have unticked the automatic downloads boxes for music apps and books under preferences->store in itunes but they keep on downloading each time I start itunes. I DON'T WANT THEM APPLE! Just cos I made the mistake once to download them and then changed my mind, you're going to keep insisting I have them?! I have a limit on my broadband usage so don't want to download 5GB each time I open itunes thanks.
    Ridiculous....
