ITouch Apps screen in iTunes out of order

I love the fact that I can rearrange the apps on the home screens from iTunes, but everytime I click to sync, it gives me the warning and then rearranges the order of my apps. If I put them back the way I want, it will rearange again on my next sync. Any Idea why this is happeneing?

Try putting your ipod on manual sync, instead of automatic. That way you can add and delete your content as you wish, plus it won't sync your apps.

  • Grayed Out Apps Screens in iTunes 3rd Gen iPod Touch Apps Screen

    I have downloanloaded at least 200 apps t my iPod Touch.  Been playing them for 18 months now.  Never had issues. 
    The situation is, the iTunes display window, when I have my iTouch selected, (after it's plugged in to my Mac and shows up in the left hand column), and I have the "Apps" selected, will shows 2 columns.  The left column that shows your apps you have in the iTunes Library on your Mac; and the right hand column that shows the multiple page displays of the windows which simulate what you should see on your actual iPod Touch display when you scroll through all your pages. After you "Sync" these should be identical if you have all the apps in the left window "checked" and you have "checked" the box just underneath the left hand column that states "Automatically sync new apps".
    The problem is I have apps downloaded which are displayed in my left column which are the apps in my Mac iTunes Library, many of those apps are displayed on the iPod Touch right side in a grayed out page display. 3 Pages and a fourth blank grey screen.  Everything has been synced.  Te grayed out screens that are in the right column in the iTunes window, (which should be the ones on my actual iTouch), are not on my actual iTouch.
    I have even manuaaly dragged one of the grated out apps again to the blank grayed out screen (right column), re-synced, just to see if it shows up on my actual iTouch.  No go. 
    I'm not sure how long I haven't noticed this problem, but I do know a year ago, it never did this.
    Is this coincidance that I am also having the slow down issues that a few people have posted concerning the new iOS 5 for the 3rd Gen iTouches.
    Not sure.  Didn't pay attention enough to the time frames.
    Any one have a suggestion(s) as to a solution, besides the obvious "Restore" in iTunes.  Did it already.
    By the way.  When I first open iTunes and these 2 columns are displayed, there are not any grayed out display pages in the right column.  Only after I "Sync"
    Thanks

    Retina display is only supported on 4th gen. The cheaper the screen is, the better the chance you have of getting ripped off. The safest way is to have Apple replace the iPod.

  • Apps screen blanked out in new Itunes

    I installed 3.1 and itunes 9. When I go to the Apps tab in itune with my iphone connected the apps screens are greyed out. I do not have restrictions on, and I have checked the preferences box to block auto sync. Ideas?

    Sounds identical to what has happened to me. I have 3GS, iTunes 9.0.1, OS 3.1
    iTunes acts normally when nothing is connected to it. I can see all apps and undate them. When I connect my iPhone to sync, everything will sync but the apps. They are present, but greyed and frozen. I can't manipulate them around like I would re-arrange my iPhone (which looks like a neat new feature in iTunes), I can't check or uncheck any of the apps to sync and update them with my iPhone. So far the iPhone seems to be working fine, and the apps on it still work, but they aren't being updated.

  • Itouch apps appear on computer screen greyed out

    When I plug my iTouch (4) into my (newly upgraded) iTunes program and click on "my iTouch" it shows the apps on the iTouch but they're greyed out and I have no access to them. The only option I had was to download new copies of my apps from the iTunes store directly onto the iTouch.
    Why can't I control the iTouch apps from my computer?

    I forgot to say that I just upgraded the iTouch to ver 4.something (the newest) and the Itunes to the newest version (10 something). Hopefully I won't have to go back to an older version to 'fix' this.

  • ITunes U courses listings out of order? Hegarty - Coding Together

    Paul Hegarty's iTunes U course named "Coding Together - Apps for iPhone and iPad" lists its courses in a confusing order, it seems. (See image below).  The number system is inconsistently applied and out of order, the dates are jumbled, etc.
    How can I know what order to take the courses?  (Believe me, I've tried to find the answer before posting this).

    Set your track numbers correctly (by right clicking, clinking 'Get Info' and clicking on the info tab), and make sure you also set the totals (e.g. 12 of 18 - the "of 18" is what I mean by the totals). This sorted it out on my iPod.
    This worked for me for my Teaching Company files. They were all jumbled previously because they took the track numbers from the default import from the internet. Once I changed it, no problem.
    It would be better if Apple allowed just a dragging, or if there was a quick tool, but at least this works.
    I had previously been using "Join Together" for stuff like this. I think I like this method better, though. I can still keep the individual lecture files on a playlist, but not have to worry about all the separate titles in a general listing.

  • Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why is the App screen grayed out?

    I click on my device (iphone) in Itunes and when I go to the App screen it is all grayed out and I can't do anything in there??

    Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions.  I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

  • Why is my app screen grayed out?

    When I have my updated (4.3) iTouch connected and I am looking at iTunes, why is my app screen gray and non-clickable? I can access every other page (music, tv shows, etc) but not apps?
    I must be doing something wrong, right?

    Got it I had restrictions enabled on my iTouch - to keep my toddlers from inadvertently purchasing apps.
    Shew!

  • If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    Just wondering, what context is this in?
    First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
    Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
    If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
    One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
    If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
    Hope this all helps a bit

  • After IOS8 can't connect to App Store or ITunes Store on IPad 2.   Tried logging out but now won't let me log back in!

    Completely frustrated and considering dropping Apple.  My IPad 2 is quickly becoming a brick after loading IOS 8.  No WIFI problems, IOS up to date, logged out of the App Store and ITunes in settings - but no app store access, no ITunes access and my photos now won't load to IMAC.  Any suggestions?  Jeez, I really liked my Apple products, too...

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

    audio and video do not syncronize.  all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows.  what do i need to do the syncronize them again
    they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
    another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded,   they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
    any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
    thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
    Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
    Restore the iPod

  • I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and Itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognixed by all these devices?

    I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • Is there a way to reorganize out-of-order tracks in iTunes 11?

    Hello all--
    In iTunes 10, if an album appeared with the track numbers out of order, I could just click on the track number tab within each individual album and the tracks would be resorted by track number. In iTunes 11, I can't find a way to do the same thing. For example, I imported an album and now it starts out with track 4, then goes to 15, etc., but can't get them to sort sequentially. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I tried looking at one out-of-order album in the "songs" view, based on a similar question, but every time I try to search for the album under "songs" iTunes shows the result under "albums".

    here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
    and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
    best of luck.
