Iphone app organization???

"And it’s easier to organize all the apps on your iPhone or iPod touch, because now you can do it right in iTunes"
Thats what it says, but when i plug my iphone in then sync it then I go to applications on itunes, I cant change my home or any other screen on my iphone from itunes... it doesnt appear next to the app list as it says it should??????
iphone OS 3.0 iTunes 9

I'm not sure why this discussion is marked solved. I just had to install the latest iTunes on my PC, connected my iPod Touch, transferred purchases, but the apps tab remained grayed out. In the grayed out form, the order of the apps on the home page was identical to what it is on the iPod Touch. When I clicked sync, iTunes immediately started to reorder the apps, mostly blank, and produced an unchecked list at the left side. As I checked each app, the app appeared almost randomly onto the home pages at the right.
Is there no way to recover the app order from the iPod? None of the 3rd party apps that recover music playlists have app ordering features (that I can tell).
Is this a fundamental bug in iTunes? I can't imagine why iTunes would want to impose a random ordering of apps when it could simply preserve it. (The fact that it shows the apps arranged correctly means that it could read it off the iPod).
I realize that there are mobilesync backup files that you could have backed up and restored (if you had been doing full backups of the system). However, in my case I was placing data on a different drive and things did not restore cleanly.

App organization in iTunes does not transfer to iPhone

I have an iPhone 3G and just purchased a new Mac Pro. I successfully transferred all my songs and apps from my old Mac to the new one. However, when I synched my iPhone for the first time, it placed all of my apps in alphabetical order (except for the native iPhone apps on the first screen).
I used iTunes to arrange the apps back the way I wanted to, but when I clicked "apply," it synched the phone and put them all back the way they were on the phone (alpha order). I used to be able to arrange apps on my computer, then transfer that setup to the phone.
This doesn't seem to work anymore, and I can't figure out why.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I highlighted the albums that hadn't tx and then <command i> (get info) assigned a genre to each album, then clarified the sync instructions to include entire music library, then everything went over.

App Organization...

Hello,
I am very new to this discussion forum, so please bare with me. I already use iTunes 9, and I have the newest iPhone OS. So, I am well aware of how easy it is to drag and drop icons to the desired pages in order to easily organize your apps.
I am a total app junkie. I don't waste my time with a lot of the free ones, I have mostly paid apps, and I have well over 320 installed on my phone. In other words, I have a nice little investment in my apps, most of which are games, a lot of productivity, and quite a bit of communication and network tools.
I keep all of my music on my 100GB Zumo Cloud Drive - it has worked great for me. With that said, I already have 9GB of apps on my phone LOL... As I said, I am addicted to my apps!
My main complaint is with organizing and REMEMBERING what apps I have on the phone, especially when I am away and not docked with iTunes. I usually launch apps from the Finder, and not using the icon, so that's no big deal. But remembering which apps I have on my phone, especially since I have long exceeded 11 pages and all of my apps are not represented by icons, proves frustrating at best.
What I have done so far, is keep an alphabetical list of all the apps installed on my phone, as a note in Evernote, and I have the Evernote icon on my first page on the phone. Then, when I wish to retrieve a certain app but can't remember the name, I launch Evernote, find the app, then exit to the Finder, and I type the name of the app in.
Does anyone out there have any better ideas on app organization? I would be so grateful and happy to find an easier way. Many friends of mine have "jailbroken" their phones, and they have many third party apps that organize the contents into folders, much like a PC or a Mac. However, I have no such desire - I would really rather not jailbreak my phone. I like the way it works right now, and I really like iTunes. But once you get into so many apps the way I have, it becomes a quasi-nightmare to keep things organized.
So again, ANY ideas out there would be very VERY much appreciated. Thanks, I hope you all have a terrific day!

I really don't think there's much anyone can add to what you've said. Apple does not provide a good way to organize your apps other than putting them on different pages and since you have so many, your only way of launching them is using Finder. The remembering part is up to you. i.e. it's your choice to have so many that you can't remember them. I only have about 75 and can't remember all of them... I can't imagine trying to remember 320. If you want something better, I think you have only two choices... delete some apps or jailbreak.

How do I back up my tunes and iPhone Apps?

How do I back up my tunes and iPhone Apps?

Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

p.s. I don't know anything about the iPhone or the iPhone apps so I am not sure if they are stored in the same folder structure or not.

All my iPhone apps shut down unexpectedly

All my iPhone apps shuts down after a random number of seconds.
Below are what I did a few days ago and might had led to the problem:
I transferred my purchases to iTunes and synced them --> no problem
I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 --> no problem
I installed "the little crane that could" version 4.4 --> starts but hangs
Updated "the little crane that could" to version 4.4.1 --> crashes and shuts down
Removed the app to reinstall again --> not on App Store (knew later that Apple removed it for this bug)
Installed again from my synced apps on my computer --> starts but shuts down unexpectedly
Up until the last step, all my other apps were fine, but I think after I did that all my apps are shutting down unexpectedly including App Store, Contacts, and even during phone calls voice is muted for a second and I get back to home screen. I thought that this usually happens when I am connected to either WiFi or cellular data because I feel this happens when my iPhone is trying to load, sync, or connect but I found it happens even in Airplane mode.
I tried all the options I found on the Internet like:
Restarting iPhone
Rebooting iPhone
Removing and Reinstalling the App (now it is back to App Store after fixing the bug)
Closing all open apps by double clicking the home button
Deauthorizing, then Authorizing my PC and syncing
Downloading a free app
I did not try to restore my iPhone because I do not want to lose my data and because some people said it did not help.
Do you have other solutions than the above?

I tried the last solution and restored my iPhone, deleting all apps, and all apps data.
Luckily I had most of them synced with iCloud so I did not lose much, but I had to reinstall, organize, and configure every and each app again.

IPhone Apps Deployment

Dear all,
I need some informatin regarding to the deployment of the iPhone Apps. Thanks for your time and sharing any kind of related info.
As a software vendor, our company is to develop an iPhone App for a number of different clients (other organizations). What kind of program should our company engage, iOS Developer Enterprise Program or iOS Developer Program? We don't like to distribute the app through the App Store and we don't like to wait for review and approval in the time of urgency.
Let's say if it is OK for us to distribute through App Store waiting the review and approval as needed, will there be any difference? What are the must-have apparatus (hardware and software) that we should have (e.g MacBook, xCode)? Is there any link that we can get the information concise and clear?
Thanks for your kind attention.
Best regards,
Zaw Min Tun

Because the Apple software in the iPad doesn't allow it. The 'iphone app in a window' is as it is until Apple changes it. A developers only recourse is to recode the display routines for the iPad and while many have done so a larger number have not.

I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

Anything is possible.

IPhone app store downloading problem

I have iPhone app store downloading problem (iOS 5). I could not download or update any software successfully from yesterday. Every app shows "waiting for download" but nothing happen for two days. It seems my app store does not connect to server. I use same account in my iPad, but it works normal. So, what happen to my iPhone? Please help me!

Hold the home button and lock button for 10 seconds to reboot the iPhone.

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

I found an answer to this on another page (I was having the same problem) This worked for me:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

Trouble adding printer to HP ePrint Home and Biz iPhone app - can't find printer's email address

I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart c6380 to my iPhone. I already downloaded the app and my printer is connected to my wireless network, as is my iPhone, but I can't add my printer to the app.
When I go to "Manage ePrinters" and try to add a printer with the + button I see 3 choices:
Add ePrinter from list: "No ePrinters available"
Add Manually: I can't find the printer's email address even using the instructions found at the ePrint center.
Add from WiFi Network: My printer isn't shown in this list so it does not support auto discovery.
So I'm guessing that if I could just find my printer's email address that would connect it to my iPhone for wireless printing, but I can't for the life of me find it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hello amybett,
I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that your printer is not Airprint/ePrint capable. However, the good news is that with the HP ePrint Home and Biz iPhone app it does not need to be Airprint/Eprint capable, as long as it is connected to the same network as your phone.
Here are the steps you will want to take to print something:
1. Setup the app by completing the email registration and entering the code (which I believe you have).
2. Select the item you wish to print using the menu in the app (Photo Albums, Saved Files, Web Browser, etc.).
3. Once you select the item you should see the item and a large "Print" button under it.
4. If the printer you want to print to is not listed above the "Print" button, select the icon on the right (wrench/computer) and select the printer you wish to use (along with other settings).
5. Tap on the "Back" button in the top left corner, then tap "Done" (blue button in the top right corner), and then tap the "Print" button to print your item.
Let me know if you are still having trouble after following the guide above.
