ITunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.

Hello.
I get this error message
iTunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.
iTunes kann keine Apps mit dem iPhone synchronisieren weil nicht festgestellt werden kann welche Apps auf dem iPhone installiert sind.
Need Help

Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Have the first two been tried?
How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?

Can't sync apps or music iphone 4S ios_5

I can't sync apps or music to my 4S. I had upgraded my 4 to ios5, made a good backup, and tried to restore backup to the 4S. It says it is syncing (for an hour), but there are no apps on the phone other than built-in apps, and no music or audio content of any kind. Videos sync, as do contacts and notes.
I have tried the following:
Multiple syncs
delete itunes plist
delete and reinstall itunes
repair permissions (Power mac dual g5 2.0Ghz, 10.5.8, all software updated)
restore iphone 4S from scratch 3 times
tried the "dual restore" trick at least 6 times
Bought apps on phone and on computer (this has worked in past for certain itunes errors)
deauthorize and reauthorize computer for store
Here's where it gets weird - if I click the "apps" tab then 14GB of apps show up on the summary as loaded on the phone, but they're not. If I download a previously owned app, the data for the app is already on the iphone (1password pro, angry birds, etc.). I still can't sync so re-downloading all of the apps is not going to work for me.
I am at my wit's end - Genius Bar was unable to assist. Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same problem with the apps. I can't find the way to make them work on my IPhone 4s.
I have also tried:
Multiple syncs,
Restoring several times to factory settings and back to different back-ups
Plugging the USB cable in a different port,
Removed data (pictures and videos) to allow more memory space,
Uninstalling and reinstalling ITunes,
Deauthorize and reauthorize my computer
When my phone is plugged in and it's in sync mode, the apps tab on the ITunes is grayed out (meaning that is not getting included). We have two old 3G iPhone and an IPad that sync from the same computer and they work fine.
Please help if you have had any success!
Thank you!

Can I sync apps to two iPhone with two apple accnt?

As title, can I do that? How? thanks.

Apps can not be shared between two accounts. You can only use apps with the account you used to buy them. You can use apps on more than one phone if you sync to the same account in itunes on both devices.

How can I sync apps from my iphone to a new computer

I did a restore today on my 3G. When I synced it to my new laptop (After a backup) my Iphone is now missing all my apps.
I tried to resync it to my old computer and its saying im not permitted to do that. Can I get my apps off my old computer and into my new computer so when I sync they all return onto my phone?
Thanks

Yes - they are in ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications. First, in iTunes > Store menu, select Authorize Computer, then make sure you're signed into your iTunes Store account. Then copy the apps over from the old computer (use a flash drive, target disk mode, etc.). Then sync your iPhone to the new computer.

Itunes can not sync apps with the iphone [name], because it can not determine which apps are installed on the iphone.

After installing the latest Version of iTunes (10.5.1.42) on my Windows XPs PC it's not possible to sync my iPhone 3GS (not iOS 5!) any more - I get the error message above. It's possible to download music, apps, podcasts - but not possible to sync with my iPhone..
Any Ideas?

The software on iphone has expired + Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined + Can't restore = Help!

Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
First message I get when I connect the iphone is
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
Then it tries to backup but I get
"Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
Tried that MANY times but no luck.
This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
I can access my music and everything from itunes.
I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
Thanks a million times!

I can't access it on the iphone as I said
On itunes in summary I have "Software version: 5.0"
Yes I tried to restore it
"When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
"I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work."

How can I sync apps from Mac to iPhone and visa versa.

Hi,
Firstly I'm not having any problems syncing apps to my iPhone.
I'm very OCD and would like to have it so that If I install an app onto my Mac, it sync to my iPhone. And then if I delete it from my Mac and plug my phone in to sync, it will delete it from my iPhone.
Basically I want my iMac to be the hub of the apps, so everything I see on my iMac will be on my phone.
Let me know if you have a solution for this!
Tim

As far as installing is concerned, if you install an iPhone app on your Mac and sync your iPhone to your Mac using either USB or WiFi the app will be installed on your phone. You can also go (on the phone) to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn on Automatic Downloads for apps. Then whenever you buy or download an app on your computer or another Apple device it will automatically be installed on your iPhone.
For uninstalling, there are 2 ways to uninstall; one is on the phone (which you said you don't want to do) and the other is to connect the phone to iTunes, click on it, then on Apps, and uncheck any apps you don't want on the phone, then sync.

When syncing my iphone an error message appears saying "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" can anyone help?

I have the iphone 4 and when syncing my iphone an error message appears half way through saying "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" can anyone help? I cant back up my iphone as this appears every time :-(

As another post suggested, I restarted both the iPhone and the computer, and that fixed the problem.

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

Error 0xe8000050 while syncing app in my iphone and some app can not install

I have an iphone 3g with ios 3.1.3 but while i'm installing some app it, i get this error 0xe8000050 while syncing app in my iphone and some app can not install. what's the problem?

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
The last release of iOS to support the 3G was 4.2.1, which was released on November 22, 2010.
iOS 4.3, released on March 11, 2011, did not support the iPhone 3G.

I authorized 2 laptops to my iPhone 5 but one can only sync music while the other can only sync apps!

I have an iPhone 5 and I have authorized 2 laptops to sync with it.
The problem is I can only sync apps I have downloaded from one laptop while music from the other laptop. I can't sync music and apps to my iPhone from the same laptop.
How do I solve this?
Note: The first laptop I synced with is also shared with my wife's iPhone 4.
Thanks in advance.

you can only really sync your phone with one device, well strictly not true but its the better practice.
first point, be careful here.
second, plug your iPhone into the first machine and check the settings related to synchronising with 'that' machine.
then do the same with the second.
you will find that one is setup to sync apps and the other to sync music. I'd recommend that you go to the one that has your music stored on it, get it to download all of your apps and use this machine as your main machine from now on.
Using two seperate machines must be confusing and could lead to you suddenly loosing all of you data if you sync completely with one machine that does contain everything you want!

Connect your device to iTunes and in the the window were all the apps are greyed out make sure the 'Sync Apps' checkbox (top left corner) is selected.

Itunes can't read apps list from iphone so wouldn't sync

When I try and sync my iPhone 3G running 4.2.1, via iTunes 10.5.1, I get this message:
"iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone “XXX’s iPhone” because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined."
Every other sync in history has been uneventful. I tried powering off the iPhone and back on again.
I don't really have to restore my iPhone do I?
Any help is appreciated.

I didn't understand what you mean. Most of the songs itunes flags are songs I have had on my list for a long time. I did notice something else. After it sends me the message and stops syncing. I press the apply button and it seams to save the song. Then I have to start resyncing and I noticed it syncs the song that it just previously couldn't read. The problem is I have to do this 50 times to get through a sync. Also, Itunes never stops on the same songs that it did the prior sync.
