ITunes $$ apps on 2 pcs but only one iPod touch- Help!

Help! Did I screw up and lose $20?
My wife has an iPod Touch 5, with an iTunes acct on her pc. I have occasionally downloaded eBooks for her, using my own pc, overdrive, and iTunes. That works fine.
Today I thought I'd surprise her with a gift of an app, Sibley's bird guide to be exact. I bought it with my own iTunes acct. Then when I went to sync it with her iPod Touch, I got a message that the sync would replace all the existing apps with the one app in my list. That would wipe out several she paid for, and many free ones she has set up and uses regularly.
Is there any way I can load the Sibley app and not mess up her existing apps?

Solved! The folks at iTunes store were kind enough to credit me back for the purchase. They explained how to buy a gift app and have it sent by email, which I did. My mistake was buying the app first and then trying to transfer it as a gift.

  • App got good review but only one star

    Hi everyone:
    I have a App in AppStore and so far got almost perfect reviews (only one 4 star, others all 5 star). Today, a user left a review which said many good things about my App. Totally positive. But he gave me only one star. I think he forgot to checked the star after writing the comments.
    Is there anything I can do about this?
    Thanks,
    ff

    Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. At least anyone reading the review will realise that it is a mistake.

  • Itunes on two sites, and only one ipod? help please

    have itunes at home (on a mac) and at another location (on a pc) - simple enough, but my library is at home and i have limited tracks at the other venue. but when i plug in the ipod the alternate itunes wants to make it the default "home". my question is am i able to change this to act only as a secondary "hub" as it were, i cant seem to find anything in the pref's to do this.

    hi,
    firstly - thanks alot for the reply, it is good to know there are people willing to help (i tried another forum and got nowhere.)
    secondly - trying to change the preferences on the windows based machine, it does not allow alteration until the ipod is connected, but when i do connect it it asks me to change to it (being the windows pc)the default library - and when i decline the ipod is not connected to itunes. being new to the mac experience (both ipod and computer) i know there is prob an easy way round this but i am afraid i cant see it.
    any chance of an idiots guide?
    thanks for looking and the help so far

  • Only one iPod Touch backup kept

    Hi. Each time I sync my iPod Touch, iTunes backs it up, as expected. But it only keeps once backup. So the next time I back it up, I lose the previous backup. I understand that I can get the old backups using Time Machine, but would like it to just keep the backups. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this the normal behavior?

    iTunes only keeps one backup created during the sync process for each device. This will explain backups, what's included and how to use them: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • App Store not working on 1st gen iPod touch HELP NEEDED!!!

    I have a 1st Generation iPod touch and I have been using App Store very often to download apps. I do not have my iPod syched to my computer, so I cannot download apps with it. I just use my iPod's app store. Up until the other day, it has been working. I tried to download an app, but it showed no screen shots, and by tapping the price to download it, it did not do anything. It did this on every app I tried. Every time I try to download an app, it doesn't work. Is it because my iPod is so old? What is the problem?

    Try resetting the iPod..
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, try here >  Apple - Support - iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant

  • Duplicate Copies of Music Files (but only one in Library)  HELP!

    Hopefully, someone can help me out here!
    I have a "missing" 13 gigs or so on my hard drive, and I was trying to figure out what the problem was.
    I thought it might have something to do with my music b/c that is about what I have on my iPod......soooo, I went a did a search to see if I had the files in two places.
    My search results (just did a search for all music on the computer) show that I have two of the exact same files for all my iTunes music...each in the exact same location.
    In my iTunes, it just says I have one of each, though.
    I tried deleting one of the duplicate files to see what would happen, but then the song wouldn't play (got the little !mark).
    Has anyone else gone through this? (I've done searches, but I can't seem to find the answer)
    I'd really like to get rid of any superfluous files!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Mandalyn.
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I tried deleting one of the duplicate files to see what would happen, but then the song wouldn't play (got the little !mark).
    I really hate answering a question with another question but ...
    What happens when you restore that file and then delete the other file for the same song?

  • HT1349 How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad, but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync.

    How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much

    You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
    First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
    Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
    Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
    Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
    After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
    You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
    If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above.

  • I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

    I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and a separate 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so the 2 libraries are completely separate? Thanks

    You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
    I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
    Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
    You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

  • Ring tones visible, but only one selectable

    I made some custom ringtones using the Ringtones app.  These did not appear when selecting Sounds::Ringtone
    or individual contacts, so I transferred them to itunes and then dropped them onto my iphone.  (I tested them
    on the mac:  The icons say "RING" and are playable.)  They appear in itunes under DEVICES::my iphone::Ringtones
    (and of course in Ringtones app).  So it looks like they are in the phone.  ONE of them appears under Custom when
    I select sounds, or ring tones for a contact.
    Seems odd that they appear to be on the device, but only one shows up for selection.

  • HT1725 Purchased 3 tracks from album, but only one track has downloaded properly

    Purchased 3 tracks from album, but only one track has completely downloaded, but system says that all 3 downloaded, how can I complete tracks?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

    I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad.  I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe.  In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac. 
    Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
    Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small.  What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

  • I down loaded a 3 Part audiobook but only one part plays on my ipod touch. All parts did play when first downloaded. Whats gone wrong?

    I down loaded a 3 Part audiobook but only one part plays on my ipod touch. All parts did play when first downloaded. Whats gone wrong?

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
