HT1296 why i cannot sync app to ipad

i recently updated my ipad 2 iOS to 6.1, and because I also changes my computer, my ipad will not sync and so it prompted me to format my ipad to factory setting, which i agreed after backing up all my contact information.
after that, I downloaded my ipad apps from itunes store on my computer hoping that it can be transferred to my ipad2 via USB. i dragged and drop the apps that I want to place in my ipad and press sync button on the lower right corner of itunes, but it didn't work. no apps were transferred after I pressed sync, even though I have successfully sync my music from my itunes to my ipad.
can anyone help?

Did you try selecting the apps to sync in the Apps Tab of iTunes rather than drag and drop?
This explains how to select apps to sync.
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Select all of the apps that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If running iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar at the top of the screen to enable the sidebar.

  • Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

    Current setup
    - Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
    - iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
    - iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
    I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.  I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues.  I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
    I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday.  Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help.  Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help.  Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help.  I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
    Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way.  When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird?  Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF.  DING, DING, that was it.  Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday.  Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps.  Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
    Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"!  I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc. 
    I hope this helps many of you save several hours.  I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

    Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
    1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
    2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
    3. Restart iTunes
    4. Restart IPad
    5. Connect IPad
    6. Still I got the same error
    7. Restart iTunes
    8. Restart IPad
    9. Connect IPad
    10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
    Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.

  • HT4236 tring to sync photos from my pc to ipad but it says "ITune cannot sync apps to the Ipad "user's Ipad" because the apps installed on the Ipad could not be determined.  I don't know what that means.  Can anyone help?

    I'm sorry about your loss.
    Are you trying to recover data from this iPad, or to set it up as new (erase everything on it, and simply use the iPad as if it were brand new as your new iPad)?
    If the latter, you can place the iPad into recovery mode as shown here.  You may have to try this several times:

    I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."
    I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.
    ~~~

    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • TS1503 when syncing my ipad I get the message 'iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "..." because the apps installed on the ipad could not be determined'; what does this mean?

    when syncing my ipad I get the message 'iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "..." because the apps installed on the ipad could not be determined'; what does this mean?

    I'm pretty sure it's a bug in either iOS 6 or iTunes 10.7.  I kept getting it until I quit iTunes and re-ran it again.  I then started sync from the iPad itself.

  • Error message: itunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the ipad could not be detected

    I received this message: "itunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the ipad could not be detected" when trying to sync my ipad via usb with my windows PC - after the iPad applications failed to update when I selected 'Update All' in IOS6.

    Disconnect and restart the computer and reset the iPad:
    Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • ITunes returns Error Message cannot sync apps installed on iPad because the apps installed could not be determined

    Hello,
    I have been trying to fix this problem with no success for awhile. When I try and backup and sync my iPad Air iOS 7.1.1 iTunes keeps returning the error message
    " iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined"  iTunes is current with all updates and is running on a MacBook Pro 8,3 running OS X 10.9.3.

    Hi RayCanada,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I'm not sure what steps you have taken so far to troubleshoot this issue, but I have a couple of suggestions for you to try.  The first thing I would suggest is to quit all apps and sign out of the iTunes Store on your iPad, disconnect it from your Macbook Pro, and turn it off.    Then restart your Macbook Pro.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    Tap Sign Out.
    Turn your iPad Air on, and sign into your iTunes Store account using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the apps.  Connect it to the MacBook Pro using the Apple USB cable that it came with.  Try to sync again with your iTunes library on your Macbook Pro.
    Alternatively, you can download any iTunes Store purchased content using the same Apple ID directly to your iPad.  Here's how:
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Not sure which Apple ID you used to make purchases?  You can review your entire purchase history using your computer:

  • TS3274 why i cannot sync the iPad with iTunes

    Can somebody help? why i cannot sync the ipad with the itunes right after i have synced my iphone sucessfully.
    they are both with the latest vesions. the dialogue box keeps on "dong..dong...dong" all the time and is saying "itunes could not connect to this iphone. This iphone is no longer connected".

    I have no clue what "dong, dong, dong" means unless you actually referring to sounds cpming from the computer.
    Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update.  Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

    Hi mike,
    Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
    Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
    I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
    Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
    Nathan

    Also using iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. Crashes in the "syncing apps" stage. Happens on two different user accounts, one using an iPod Touch and one using an iPhone 5.
    Clean uninstall/reinstall doesn't make any difference. Safe mode doesn't make any difference (no plug-ins installed).
    Stack trace shows an unknown routine in iTunesMobileDevice.dll calling Microsoft C++ runtime routine _wstat32i64 with a null name parameter. This is definitely an iTunes 11.4 bug.

    *int _stat(name, buf) - get file status info
    *Purpose:
    *      _stat obtains information about the file and stores it in the
    *      structure pointed to by buf.
    *      Note: We cannot directly use the file time stamps returned in the
    *      WIN32_FIND_DATA structure. The values are supposedly in system time
    *      and system time is ambiguously defined (it is UTC for Windows NT, local
    *      time for Win32S and probably local time for Win32C). Therefore, these

    *Entry:

  • Why I cannot sync my iphone 4s photo to iCloud

    Dear All,
    Please help me?
    Why I cannot sync my iPhone 4S photos albums (camera roll) to iCloud?
    Tq

    You cannot go back because Apple has never provided a mechanism for downgrading any version of iOS to an earlier version. As roaminggnome suggested, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and, if the problem goes away, then synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.
    If none of that helps, your iPhone may have developed a hardware fault and will need to be take or sent to Apple.
    Regards.

  • HT1386 I have synced app from ipad to laptop.  How do I open the app or use it?

    I have synced apps from ipad to laptop. How dow I open the app and use it ?

    iOS apps will only run under iOS.  They cannot be opened, run or used on any other operating system, so they cannot be used on your laptop.  The sync and transfer of purchases apps is merely to keep a copy of the app as backup on your laptop.  While you can re-download any app you have from your iTunes/App Store account, that will only get your the latest release version.  If you want to keep older or previous releases around as backup, then your only copies will be the ones you've copied over to your laptop for safekeeping.
