Icon for Apps vs. iTunes

Why is there a separate icon for Apps in the dock when iTunes has the same functions, or does it?

The icon is the Dock is for the Mac App Store, where you buy applications for Mac OS X. The iTunes Store offers apps only for iOS devices. So no, they're not the same.

    I just updated my iPhone 4s to IOS 7 and now all my icons for apps I had previously downloaded B4 the upgrade dont show on my home screen,does anyone know what happen and how I can get the icons back on my screen??

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

    Did you update your operating system?  If so, did it solve the problem?  I have not updated my OS because so many people complained that the newer Os's had problems.

  • Icon for app is in iTunes, but the app itself is missing

    iTunes says that it can not sync the apps in my iTunes library to my iPhone because it can not find the apps on my computer. So, I try to redownload the apps in the iTunes store and it says I have downloaded them already. I have the icon for the app in iTunes but my iPhone can not find them when they sync with the computer.
    My mobile application folder has been erased. What should I do to get the apps and their data back? The data for the apps should still be in the back up of the iPhone (which I did a wired back up to my computer, not iCloud).

    What device or mac are you using and with what OS?

    Hi

    Ap store icon shows 6 updates waiting to down load but when selected does not download page stays blank.

    Try this workaround

    Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • Change apple ID in iPhone for apps and iTunes

    I put my old apple ID in my phone when I set it up. The approval email went to an email address that is no longer in use. Now I cant figure out how to change my apple ID in my phone to my new apple ID. I see how to change the iCloud apple ID but all of my apps and iTunes is still tied to my old one.

  • Lost my iPhone 5S icons for App Store and iTunes Store

    I was syncing my iPhone 5S to iTunes on my laptop when I noticed that suddenly two important icons were missing from my iPhone's Home Page: the App Store icon as well as the iTunes Store icon. I need them back but don't know what to do. I've tried powering down my phone for two minutes then turning back on, no luck. I have no idea how to get these icons back. When I click on a link that is supposed to take me to either place, nothing happens. Please help!

  • Syncing prob:icons for apps won't sync from Mac to ipod touch G1

    I have a 1st Generation iPod touch, 32 GB and the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have tried several times to sync my laptop to my iPod...all goes well except it won't sync the icon pictures of my apps to my ipod...except 2 or 3. Please tell me what setting is wrong or what I can do to get the icon pictures on my iPod. Buying an updated iPod Touch may solve the problem, but that is not an option at the moment. This one is so old it doesn't have a cam or anything... but it still works very well.

    You say you have a 1G iPod. Those can only gas as high as iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    However, not there are few apps still compatible with the 3.1.3. Many have been udated so theay are no lnoger compatible with th 3.1.3.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • How to check availabe updates for apps in iTunes 11.0 (Windows)?

    In older versions of iTunes in my laptop, there is a place to click to check for available updates when I see there are updates in the App Store icon in my iPhone.
    Then the Apps updates are downloaded to the laptop and then I can sync the iPhone.
    But I just can't find such a button to download Apps updates in the latest 11.0 iTunes.
    Please help. Right now, I'm installing the updates via 3G which can be slow.
    Thanks,
    Taijiboy

    In ITunes Store there is a Library Button in the upper right hand corner.  Left Click on the down arrow on this button and a drop down menu will appear.  Click on the Apps Button which will open your Apps page.  On the bottom right hand corner is a button labeled check for updates.  Left click on the button.
    In your account there is an ITunes Store Button in the upper right hand corner.  Left Click on this button to toggle to the Library Button, then follow the instructions above.

  • Is there a way to get rid of grey 'waiting' icons (for app updates) which will not upload nor delete from screen?

    i have a 3GS iphone and have 4 apps which will not delete. i tried to update them but when the grey icon marked "waiting" appeared on the screen, the blue bar never filled nor loaded and has sat there for a few weeks without changing. i have tried to delete the icons but once the 'jiggling' starts there is no "x" on it. i can move it around the screen but not get rid of it.
    anybody have any answers? thanks

    Sign out of your iTunes Store Account... Then Reset the phone...
    You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • How can I restore icons for apps to my iPod Touch? After the OS upgrade, I had to reload apps. Some apps now do not show (can find in search but I want the icons back).

    I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and had to reload all my apps. They take more than the max allowed pages so I had some in folders prior to upgrade. Now some do not appear. I can search but they are commonly used apps & I want to restore the icon to the screen. How can they be restored? I now have enough in folders that there is room for all the icons.

    Just checked my info, I have an 8gb iPod Touch, 4G, using Version 6.0 (10A403)

  • HT202297 The Reminders app on my OS X version 10.9 doesn't seem to have badge icons for apps that are overdue.  How do I get the badge icons for the app?

    Being overtly organised, I assign due times to all my reminders on the reminder app.  Recently, I realised that the badge icons (detailing the number of overdue reminders) do not pop up anymore.  How do I get them to reappear again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There are two Applications folders: /Applications (in the root level of the hard drive) and ~/Applications (in your user folder).
    If you have a look at the bottom part of the screenshot, you can see where Chess is stored, and it indicates that it's stored in /Applications, so you are looking for applications in the wrong folder.
    Open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark Applications. Then, close the Preferences window and you will be able to access to the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar. Another option would be to go to View menu (on the menu bar) and type:
    /Applications

  • Why does iOS7 and Mavericks have different icons for apps?

    I love apple simple desige and intuitive approach.
    BUT why does not Contacts, Calender etc have the same icons anymore between your operating systems?
    This is not simple and it is not intuiative.....
    Alexander

    The removal of all the skeuomorphic elements from iOS and OS X is only partially complete. Doubtless we'll see this change as updates come out, though whether Apple will go with the exact same icons in both iOS and OS X for any given app remains to be seen. You can express your opinion to Apple via their feedback page, if you wish:
