HT204266 Do iPhone & iPad apps in my Mac will take space in my (Mac) Hard Drive if i download them from iTunes?

I download apps from my mac and then sync my devices to transfer the apps to the devices, but i was wondering if the apps in iTunes will actually take the same space of my Hard Drive than the space it says it will take in the device.

If the apps are on your computer, then they take up space on your computer.

My computer had a virus and needed to be wiped clean. all my itunes docs are stored on an external hard-drive so i downloaded a new itunes but it over-wrote my old one - how can i restore this without wiping my iphone? please help :(

Hi there,
My windows xp computer got a virus and needed to be wiped.
As i store all of my itunes and iphone stuff on an external hardrive i thought this would not cause a problem.
Got a bit confused when i tried to open itunes again from the back-up hardrive as it would not open.
Wrongly assumed that the best option would be to re-download itunes and move my old itunes info across - silly silly thing to do :/
The new download just over-wrote the old one and after trying a few of the suggestions on here to get my old library back - i still cant work out if its possible as it has been over-written.
I don't want to plug my iphone4 into my computer as i have heard that this can wipe your phone completely, so before i do anything, does anyone know what is the best thing to do from here? or how i could posibly recover my old library, playlists, apps, podcasts e.t.c
please please help

go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

How can I keep iTunes on my Mac but the Movies on an external hard drive and still have them accessible to my Apple TV etc through Home Sharing?

I have a 2TB external hard drive that I want to store my ripped movies on and free up space on my Mac. How can I do this?

Is there a reason you don't want to keep your entire iTunes folder on the external.
Everything will work just fine and it is simpler if everything in iTunes is in one location (the iTunes folder).
Copy entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to external.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
That is all you need to do.

I just synced my iPhone 3GS and lost songs..they don't show in my itunes account either and I downloaded them from ITunes to the Phone

I have a 16 GB 3GS ATT iPhone and just finished syncing and updating software to 4.3.5, BUT songs that I had on my iPhone do not show in to my iTunes account
AND have disappeared on my iPhone.
Where are they and how do I get them back????
I think I can use restore, but if you buy a song on your iPhone...shouldn't it automatically show in your iTunes account????

Sell iBook in iPhone/iPad app?

We are developing an iPhone/iPad app, now we are inrtessted to publish text with app purchase created by the iBook author,
Is that allowed to do that with considering the Eula.

If you sell a .ibooks file, it needs to be sold from your site using your transaction process. Your app cannot have a 'buy' button for that and can only be used to send the user to your site.
From the App Review Guidelines:
http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app, such as a “buy” button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad2. How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

Events entered on my iPhone 5 (7.1.1) calendar will not sync on my Mac 10.8.5. However events entered on the Mac will sync to my iPhone.

Thanks for the input. Did ensure both were set the same. They weren't. Synced settings, restarted iCal and iPhone. Still only syncing in one direction. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

I need an Ipad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system only uses internet explorer. Why is Atomic full version not available in the app store is there another browser that will do this

I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?

Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps.

Hey Dazr12,
Just send the following steps to your friend:
1) Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on your computer. The latest version is available free of charge from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
2) Click the following link to launch iTunes and display the Redeem page:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/freeProductCodeWizard
Note: If this link doesn't work for you, simply open up the iTunes application, click iTunes Store on the left, and when the iTunes Store homepage loads, click the "Redeem" link in the upper-right corner of the page.
3) Enter your 12-digit gift code and click the Submit button.
4) A message will appear confirming that your gift code has been redeemed. If you don't have an account, you can create one at this time.
hope this will work
