HT1977 Synching apps iTunes -- iPhone

I see all my apps under Library but do not see a top tab nor an option to "sync apps" anywhere. Help?

Select the device in iTunes.
The tabs will then appear.
Select the content desired to sync.

Question on synch between iTunes & iPhone

Had many entire cd's on iTunes & synched with my iPhone. This past weekend, I had to completely rebuild my computer, all software was installed as new. As a result iTunes has no music, and iPhone has them all. As I read the info box on iTunes, If I synch, It will erase all my iPhone tunes. Is there a way to move all the tunes from iPhone to iTunes. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can access and transfer the music with PhoneView if you can get access to a Mac.

Why aren't there more data-synching apps for iPhone?

I've been watching as new apps get added to the App Store (I've bought 20+ already, and got a bunch of free ones) and I'm surprised that people/companies aren't developing more apps that sync data. I'm thinking of things like ToDos and Notes. I see a bunch of apps to manage ToDos on the iPhone itself, but nothing "industrial strength", like Documents to Go and others that have been popular on other platforms. I see that Doc2Go does have a product coming for the iPhone, but it looks like they've left out Note synching, so that hole will remain.
Another data-synching niche would be for an iPhone app that syncs with products like Quicken, where you can have your entire financial portfolio available, and you could make updates on either side and then sync them.
Yet another - and probably most versatile and robust - would be an iPhone version of FileMaker Pro (or some other DBMS) where you could create data structures on the iPhone (or sync them from a bigger computer) and then add/edit/delete data on either side and sync them.
If it's just due to software developers ramping up to the iPhone platform, then I'm not concerned. What I do wonder about is if there are issues with either the SDK or the OS itself that make this type of application nearly impossible to develop. So far the iPhone doesn't seem as "open" as other platforms in terms of data management. I don't know what kind of file system it uses -- whether it's HFS+ or what, but I imagine that would be an important factor in developing data-intensive applications.
Anyway, I'm hoping eventually to see the business-oriented apps on the iPhone that will free my from my old HP iPaq.

Well one restriction is the the SDK does not allow access to the 30pin dock. So they cannot write anything that can transfer/sync like iTunes does.
Also this means some type of app must also be installed on your computer. Not to big of a deal, just means for stuff like Quicken they have to update their product as well to work with the iPhone. And since the iPhone's port is not allowed to be touched, they are going to have to do it over WiFi. Not too big of a deal but then you have to deal with users who don't understand their own routers or firewalls to open ports to allow such talking. Like some of the VNC apps on the AppStore to allow you to access your computer remotely. There are tons of bad comments about not working, but that is because users don't understand they also need a VNC server on their computer, they have to setup firewall to open port, and may also need port forwarding depending on their setup. Things many home users just don't understand.
So while possible (and I agree would be a nice setup for an app) the SDK restricts talking via the dock, so an App to work over WiFi really is only way, but is also very doable I think and a good idea.
Just so you know, the better forum to bring this up in is the Developers Forum ( http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164 ) May get better respnoses there and maybe get somebody to make something for you.

Error 42003 when synching apps to iphone

Aargh!
I am trying to sync my songs on my iPhone 4, but I can't get past the apps sync. iTunes complains that "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone 'My iPhone'. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store?"
When I attempt to authorize my computer (which was authorized the last time I sync'ed my phone a week or two ago), I get the message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-42003). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
I also get this error when I try to listen to a song in iTunes that I had purchased from the Apple store.
I have no trouble accessing the Apple store through iTunes. My account shows that I have 4 computers authorized for my account (5 is the max, right?).
I have double-checked the user id - it is the same one that shows in the app's "Get Info" (it's the same one I have always used). If I enter the wrong password, I get a password error, not the 42003 error.
I did everything in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 and still have the problem.
I have tried to de-authorize/authorize my computer from the iTunes/Store menu, but that also gives the -42003 error.
I have uninstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, and reinstalled iTunes -- still have the problem.
I have run iTunes/Help/Run Diagnostics and all the tests passed.
Naturally, this all happened 4 days after my 3 month iPhone warranty expired, so I can't talk to a real support person unless I want to pay them $29 for their unknown error. And one of the times I was trying to solve the problem, I accidentally clicked the "Don't authorize" button and iTunes DELETED MY ANGRY BIRDS APP!! Of all my apps, the only one that had any data I cared about is the only one that got deleted! My apologies for shouting, but I am so frustrated I could cry!!

I just updated to iTunes 10.2, and the authorization issue has magically gone away (note that Apple released iTunes 10.2 on 2011/03/02, but iTunes did not notify me of the update; I just happened to check for myself in a last ditch effort to resolve this problem). Not a very comforting solution, but at least Apple is now letting me have my duly purchased songs and apps back.
For future reference, this was actually a problem that I could have reported via email -- I apparently chose poorly when going down the online help path. Instead of considering this an iPhone issue, I should have gone to Support -> iPod+iTunes -> iTunes. Then, under "Get Customer Service," select "Authorization" -> "Troubleshoot authorization problems" -> "Tunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases". From there, you can send an email for support.

2nd req: Moving apps iTunes/iPhone [diff computer]

Hi, second request:
I have two Macs. One was used to sync everything when I first bought the iPhone 3G. That Mac is now used only to sync iTunes and Apps. I'd like to move to syncing the Apps portion to the MBP and off the Mini.
Has anyone done this? I've tried searching, but I guess I'm not using the right keywords or phrasing to get good results.

Drag them to a disk/flash drive/etc then drag them onto the computer.
OR Connect the iphone, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

TS2830 the i phone cannot be synched because the iphone cannot be found

I tried to synch a new playlist last night and when I went to listen to it none of my music was on my iphone. The folders were there and the album and artist names but when I clicked on them individually there was no music. Not sure how but I managed to get the music to show back up tonight but the new plalist is not there and when i try to synch (wirelessly or connected) it either says unable to synch iphone because iphone could not be found or unable to synch apps because iphone apps can not be determined. Either way, the new playlist and the new content is not showing up and the phone shows the last synch as being June 2. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello shanangel,
Thanks for the question.
This issue can usually be resolved by restarting both your computer and iPhone. However, if the issue persists after doing so, we may want to refer to the following article:

I would like to use my deactiveted iPhone 3G for apps and music. How do I add music? When I synch with iTunes it won't add the selected playlists.

Synching 2 3Gs iPhones to one iTunes account on one computer

I have a few questions regarding synching two 3Gs iPhones with one iTunes account on one computer.
I had synched both phones (mine and my wifes) to our desktop computer but saw that apps were being placed on both of our phones and contacts were being added to both and duplicated.
1. If I try to synch my wifes iPhone to a her laptop with a new itunes account and it asks about erasing the data, will it get rid of the photos and contacts? I have looked this issue up and no one really seems to know.
2. If I try to synch both iPhones to the desktop with the original itunes how do I avoid the issues of transposing apps, contacts being added to both? Several answers out on the Net say to make two seperate accounts. Does that mean two seperate "iTunes" accounts? Or two seperate profiles on the desktop computer.
The main reason I need to do this is because my wifes iPhone is about two or three firmware updates behind. I would like to update her firmware and back up all of her apps and contacts. I am backing up her photos to Shutterfly just in case, because if something happened to those I might not be around to see iPhone 5. hahaha j/k
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions,
1. If you manually backup your wife's phone before you sync for the first time to the laptop, you can save all data and settings of the phone and restore from that backup again after the initial sync.
Here's how to backup manually:
Set up the same iTunes account on the laptop, disable autosync in iTunes/Settings/Devices.
Connect the phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup" iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to the new library.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

2. If you're syncing both phones on one computer, either create a second user account on your computer, log in and do the same manual backup process as described above, or, take the time to set up each phone individually, including the settings for calendars and contacts, which apps to sync, etc.
iTunes will remember the settings for each phone and you'll only have to do this once.
You can only use apps on different devices if you're using the same account you did at the time you bought them.

How do I sync apps FROM iPhone TO iTunes?

I don't want to lose all the folders with apps I have on my iPhone when synching to iTunes. The playlists, movies, etc. I can create without much headache.
I have right-clicked on my device and selected "transfer purchases," but when I checkmark "sync apps," I still get that annoying "are you sure you want to sync apps? ..." warning.
I'm running on iTunes 10.3.1.55 now because the upgrade to iTunes 10.4 locked me out of the iTunes Store and Apple couldn't figure out why
Suggestions?

are you positive,
No. I'm lying to you.
Of course i'm positive. I, and countless others download apps to their phones all the time that end up syncing back to their iTunes library on the computer.

HT1766 Forced to bring PC laptop back to factory condition. Reloaded Itunes, Iphone app image on ITunes is faded, unable to manipulate. Right clicking the device & clicking on backup doesn't let me manipulate my data. How do I fix?

Prior to the need to strip my laptop, my Itunes/Iphone backup and synch happened with ease. On the reinstall of Itunes, and the provision of my ID and password, I find that I can see a faded (greyed out) version of my apps, but I can't move them within Itunes, which I usually do to pop them in category folders. The songs and ring tones on the Iphone do not show in Itunes either. Any suggestions?
The phone functions fine by itself.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's what to do:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPhone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPhone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

Itunes 12.01.26 Crashes Synching Apps on NAS

I am extremely disappointed that Apples has still not provided a fix to
iTunes crashing when it starts to synch apps following the release of iTunes 12
The crash happens every time I try to sync and just because my iTunes Library
iOS on a NAS Server
All worked fine until after iTunes 11.4
Shame on Apple for not getting round to fix this issue as there are an
enormous amount of discussion forms and people who have reported this to Apple
We run numerous Apple devices but following this issue and the debacle with
IOS 8.01 we are now considering getting rid of all our apple devises
We still have two iPhones that are updated to IOS 8.02 that are showing they
need to update to 8.01 !!

Hey Lee Earle,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on OS X. The following resources provide some great trobuleshooting and isolation steps:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Matt M.
