If I download an app on iTunes and sync with my iPhone it shows up as 'waiting'

If I buy the app on my computer using iTunes, then sync my iPhone with my computer the app shows up as "Waiting" and its faded out until I get to a Wi-Fi network (or 3G if I have service) so it can redownload itself. If I buy an app off of the iPhone sometimes it works just fine and other times it does the same thing with the "Waiting" until I resync my iPhone with iTunes. It's like every app I download, I have to download twice...

I assumed somebody would suggest that, but that is not the issue that I wanna make.
Often I browse apps like appsfire or appsgonefree on my ipad and I end up downloading apps that I know I'm gonna use on my iphone and vice versa. Or I'm at work downloading some app from a web link on my work PC, knowing that I'll find it installed on my ipad when I get home.This is a feature and it's actually convenient for me, so I don't really want to disable it.
But I also find myself reinstalling apps on my devices when I sync them with itunes, just because I have forgotten that I initially installed them one my phone and deleted them because I didn't like them.
So, what I'm asking is, shouldn't there be a flag or something, that, when enabled, permitted you to choose If you wanted to uninstall an app from all devices and libraries?
Isn't this a logical request?
Surely, I mustn't be the only one that is annoyed by this omission in iOS!

  • What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
    Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
    You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
    For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.
    This info for Leopard courtesy of TexasMacMan;
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • None of my iPhoto Albums appear in iTunes for syncing with my iPhone

    I have dozens of Albums in iPhoto. When I open iTunes to sync with my iPhone, NONE of my iPhoto albums (none of my Aperture albums, for that matter) are present. I cannot figure out why not, nor do I see any discussions of this problem. HELP!!!!

    moabCowboy,
    Is there a particular reason you are using an alias to repoint the iPhoto Library, instead of telling iPhoto to look directly to the library on the other drive?
    If not, you can tell iPhoto to look at the iPhoto Library on the other drive directly by holding down the option key when you launch iPhoto.
    The iPhone does require iPhoto 4.0.3 to sync photos from iPhoto to the iPhone.
    If still not showing up to sync photos over, this article has additional troubleshooting steps for when iPhoto apps don't show up in iLife applications:

  • My itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

    my itunes wont sync with my iphone at all, even after i did all of the steps given to me by apple. what should I do?

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • Adding Vedio to iTune and Sync them to iPhone

    Hi
    i dont know why when i chose vedio files to add them to iTunes to sync with iPhone thay are not added just 3gp files are added and iTunes dont sync them it says iPhone dont support such type, and when i use some softwares to convert vedios to iTune vedio types such as mp4 they are not added when i try to add them to vedio library, also when i add 3gp files to my vedio libaray then convert them to iPhone format by iTunes the voice is very destorted in the new file any help ?

    Welcome to the forums.
    After you convert your files to MPEG4 how are you adding them to iTunes? You must drag and drop them from Windows Explorer over into the iTunes library -- open up both Windows and do this and I promise you they will show up (in the "Movies" tab).
    3GP cannot be synced to the iPhone without conversion, but using iTunes to convert isn't always the best way. If you have Quicktime Pro that may be the best solution.

  • Is there a way to see what files iTunes just synced with my iPhone?

    OK, I've been working with my music files trying to find some sort of work-around to iTunes not updating or deleting my lyrics on my iPhone.  I been working on one music file at a time.  I'll make a change of some sort, then have iTunes "Sync" to my iPhone which is connected directly  to the laptop.
    I've only updated ONE file, but I see iTunes syncing many files.  The first time I can see why, but I'm doing my syncing mere minutes apart, so after the first sync, I would think the only thing to be "synced" would be the one music file I just changed, but I keep seeing others.
    The problem is, the list of files being synced goes by too fast to read.
    Is there a way in iTunes to see a list of what files it just synced with my iPhone?
    I'm using iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 Home Premium system.

    What exactly does the Library item contain?
    Have you thought of changing the Library item to a Server Side Include instead?
    Takes all the tedium out of updating by letting the server do the mundane work for you.
    Create one text file (containing the current Library item code), add a single include statement in all website pages to include the text file. Upload. The entire website is then up-to-date.
    To update all affected pages in future, you merely edit the one small text file (the Include), upload and you're done.

  • ITunes wont sync with my iPhone anymore

    I'm not sure what happened, but iTunes won't sync with my iPhone 4 anymore at all. I changed my DNS server settings on my Mac and iPhone (because of stupid Comcast) and now I can't sync using wifi or usb. I reset all my settings to how it was before and it still doesn't work. I'm all out of ideas and its starting to pisss me off so any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

    i found the one that worked best for me was step 5 because right after the most recent itunes update, my 5s only came up on my pc. the instructions for step 5 are a bit tedious but it works great. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Missing All Apps in iTunes AND can't update iphone software

    APP PROBLEM- just happened today
    There are zero apps showing in my app folder all of the sudden. My phone shows that 77 updates are available, and yet, not a single app shows up in the apps folder itself. When I click "check for updates" in the app folder, again nothing.
    IPHONE SOFTWARE PROBLEM- been happening for months
    When I plug in my phone to update and sync it says I have software version 4.1 and "A newer version of the iphone software is available (v 4.2). Click to update" so I click "update" and then it says "This version of itunes (9.2) is the current version". Well I didn't click update itunes, i clicked update for the iphone software. So I can't update the software. I have a 2nd gen iphone.
    The only change that's happened is I think I tried downloading the newest version of itunes and it said my operating system is too old for it. So, itunes 9 opens fine, my music is in there. All of my apps have disappeared and I can't update my iphone software. Please help.

    Thank you. So, as far as the iphone update, I'm out of luck unless I get a new operating system, right?
    Yes, I tried restarting my computer to see if they would reappear. I just checked the library on my hard drive and I can't see any applications there. They are still not coming up in the apps folder in the itunes library either.
    Any ideas?

  • I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes, I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes

    I recently downloaded the latest version of Itunes.  As soon as that was finalized, my Ipod stopped showing up on the screen when I was in Itunes and I can't sync new songs and audiobooks to it.  How do I get my Ipod to work again?  It charges up and plays just fine, it will not sync or update with Itunes.  There is nothing showing on Itunes that I can manually sync it, either.  That option can't be clicked on.  I have no other devices other than the Ipod that syncs with Itunes now, I used to have an Iphone, but I don't anymore
