Is there a way to sync apps without this stupid "all or nothing" mentality?

When syncing with iTunes, my options are to A, uncheck "Sync Apps" and have iTunes prance in and remove all my apps, B, leave it checked and have it load every app I've EVER downloaded to the iPad, or C, manually delete EVERY app I don't want from the virtual iPad in iTunes before syncing, which would be a pretty terrible method for a company whose products are supposed to "just work".

Just select only the apps you want and you never have to do anyhting.  Those apps will always be there until you either uncheck sync app or deselect the app.
Always leave everything selected that you want to be on your device.  You never have to redo anything.  If you leave everything selected and "  DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING", then it will not touch anything.

  • Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

    s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message: 
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

    I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
    Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
    If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
    My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

  • Is there any way to sync apps from different computers in one ipod touch?

    Hi
    So, I have synced my iPod touch with iTunes in my mac and now I want to install some applications that my brother has in his computer.
    *Is there any way I can sync applications in my iPod touch using different computers, without losing the apps that are already installed in the device?*
    Thanks a bunch for your help!
    Best,
    Ezequiel

    Wow, that was fast! thanks!
    So, if I do that, I'll transfer all the apps from the iPod to my brother's computer and then I'll just need to sync everything back to my iPod... and I'll also need to do the same thing with my mac, in order not to lose the apps that I copied from my brother's pc, right?

  • I have 1 ipod but  have diffrent acounts. my computer is setup for my ipod 4th gen that i had stolen and i would like to sync all of that music to my older nano. is there a way to do that without wiping out all my old songs that were on my nano?

    so i have one ipod and it is a 2005 ipod nano. i have plugged into my computer and i cant get to the music on it. i am trying to burn it onto a disk or even a diffrent folder on my computer so i can just have select songs on my ipod. the reason i have 2 diffrent accounts is because i made a new account for my ipod 4th generation and it got stolen. so now i have my older ipod. is there a way to get it onto my computer with out wiping all my old songs on it?

    iPods do not work with "accounts."  They work with your iTunes library.  You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod.  One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time.  iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
    However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content.  Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to?  If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library.  Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library.  You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
    If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

  • Is there a way to sync apps and pictures between iphone and ipad.

    I am going back to work in a few weeks and I am looking for a way to sync the iPad/iPhone so that I have quick  saccess to see my son and keep track of his baby app that I use. Plus I want to be able to have easy access to any photos takne with the ipad so I can see them immediatly with the iphone. (if any of that made sense)

    i have the same exact question, so I'll just stay posted except I have my songs stored on an external hard disk connected on my Mac Mini.

  • I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts.  I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine.  IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

    I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc.  I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine.  The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore.  Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad? 

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • Is there a way to install "apps" without using the store? (No Internet, intentionally)

    We have an industrial control system that is
    purposely cut off from the Internet for security purposes.  We want to install the RDP app on tablets.  Is there  way to do this without an Internet connection?  Has MS even considered such a scenario?

    Hi,
    We need the internet connection to install Store app, this is designed by default.
    Since we need internet to logon with the Microsoft account and can't download the offline installer as desktop app from Windows Store.

  • Is there ANY way to sync app/game data between iPhone and iPad2?

    I just got a new iPad and sync'd all my apps onto it however I didn't realize it wouldnt sync the game data (levels etc). I don't want to start from scratch on my games if I want to play them on the iPad.
    It's not looking good for a solution but I figured surely someone has found or created something (don't understand why Apple didn't!)
    The main app I want the app data sync'd on is Cat Physics.

    It depends on the game - some will sync scores over Game Center or over their own server (the crossword puzzle app I use gives us two options - their own server or Game Center). You'll have to contact the makers of Cat Physics to find out - Apple did create this functionality in GC, but it's up to the developer to chose to use it.

  • Is there a way to update app without submitting to AppStore

    First of all, a FYI for you guys who are waiting too long for Apple review team, you may request the team to review your app quicker rather than waiting for 10 days. You may find additional info here: App Review - Support - Apple Developer
    However, I seen some games that had big updates by just downloading and restarting the app, no update from AppStore needed. So how did they do that? Can we create a container and download the swf elsewhere from the internet and deploy in our app?

    Apple do have an "expedited" option, but you can only use that a few times. Eventually they turn you down.
    I believe that no app is able to download interpreted code, but, you could be smart in your programming. You could have exchangeable graphics that can be replaced by online versions, or you could control the flow of an app with XML, that you can replace from an online update.
    I think that's what other apps are doing, to make it seem like you got an update without going to the app store.
    Another thought, you could have the future content in the app already, and then reveal that to the user over time.

  • Is there any way to sync app data of my ipad with my iphone using icloud?

    I've used my pc to sync but i don't want to always have to turn on my pc just for sync. Also temple run 2 data hasn't been transfered to my iphone.

    Open itunes on you pc, connect ipad, select what you want sync.
    You can only sync to one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone.

  • I inadvertently typed in a wrong account number which now shows up in the Account # drop down box. Is there some way that I can clear this (or all) entry and still let Firefix remember search and form entry? Thanks Mike Callahan

    The Scottrade web sight requires an account number as well as a password to log in. I inadvertently typed in an incorrect number and would like to eliminate it from the 'remembered' accounts. My only solution seems to be to turn off Remember Search and Form Entry but that impacts the correct account numbers and all other web sites as well.

    Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • Is there a way to sync the Notes app on my iPod Touch with the Notes on my desktop without using iCloud

    I've been reading some of the other threads about this issue, but most, if not all, suggest using iCloud. I'm wary of setting up an iCloud account because I've heard that "once your information is 'in the cloud' it can't be deleted", and I just don't know how true that is.
    Is there a way to sync the two apps by some other means that bypasses "the cloud"?

    I think that cloud privacy concerns are overdone - especially with Apple who don't have a vested interest in snooping through your data like Google does!
    Do you use email?  It's stored in the cloud on the providers servers - no matter who the provider is.
    Do you use SMS on a phone?  They're stored on a server somewhere!
    Do you use the internet?  The logs are stored at your ISP for some period of time - tracking everywhere you've been.
    Thats why I am comfortable to use iCloud for most of my documents.  If I want to transfer files very securely, I put them in an encrypted disk image on Dropbox.
    Cheers,
