ITunes apps won't sync with iPad without deleting all the apps already on the iPad!

I've been using my iPad with iCloud sync for a while and now have decided to go back to iTunes sync. I have a bunch of apps i downloaded on the iPad from its app store and want to keep them. However, when i go to the Itunes app section (which is grayed out) and select the sync apps button, all the apps on my iPad in the preview screen disappear!!! How can i sync apps from my computer and keep the apps already on the iPad?

Ditto. Even the new 2.0.1 firmware made no difference. I've had no luck with iTunes in this dept at all. I can download apps to the phone, but they won't sync back to iTunes. If I download apps to iTunes, not only will they not transfer to the phone, but all the apps on the phone get wiped w/o warning.
I've tried the following per Apple suggestions, but to no avail:
- Reset iPhone (the home and lock button method)
- Remove (I manually deleted all content little by little)
- Reset Settings (done thru software, don't know how this differs from "reset iPhone" above)
- Restore - a Huge pain in the *** for nothing. Took forever and obviously I then had to manually put all my songs, ringtones, contacts and photos back on it.
What else is there left to try?

My hd itunes movies won't sync with my ipod classic

my hd itunes movies won't sync with my ipod classic so how do I get the sd version now?

Hello tuneup1,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If an SD version of your purchase is available, you will be able to download it from your purchase history. For more information, see the following articles:

How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
Thanks a ton.

How do I know if it's on my computer?
If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.

I have a new imac how do i connect my phone to this computer if its registered with another without deleting all my content

i have a new imac how do i connect my phone to this computer if its registered with another without deleting all my content. when i go on itunes it says that i can sync but will erase all the content and replace it with whats on the mac.

Read this and follow carefully:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

For Christmas I got a new computer after my other computer broke so I am wondering is there a way to sync my iPod touch that I already had with my new computer without deleting all my app data because I have over 200 hundred dollors of games

I got a new computer for Christmas it is a gateway and I have downloaded iTunes on it I need to know if there is a way that I can sync my iPod touch with my new computer without deleting all of my app data I don't have my old computer It crashed so u can't even turn it on

You should be able to:
Use Edit > Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
Connect the device to iTunes.
Backup the device to the new computer.
Transfer your iTunes purchases into a newly authorized library.
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
Restore the device from the backup.
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps. When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.

I just updated my itunes (windows 8) and now it won't sync with my iphone. It doesn't even recognize the iphone.

iTunes on my Windows 8 computer updated on January 22, 2014. Since that time it will not recognize or sync with my iPhone 4s. I have removed and the downloaded my iTunes and the problem persists.
Help!

I followed the thread and used the link provided to download iTunes version 10.6.3 (again). The same error message keeps coming up, telling me that I do not have it installed. I tried restarting the computer following the install, but it still won´t acknowledge that 10.6.3 is installed. Any other solutions?

IPad2 won't sync with iMac...only my iphone4 shows in the device window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network!

iPad2 won't sync with iMac and only my iphone4 shows in the devices window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network! The iPad will sync when plugged into the Mac however looses connection and disappears from the device window when unplugged.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

ITunes library won't sync with iPhone 5s

My problem is on an iPhone 5S 16GB running iOS 8.0.2...
Recently I had to remove my music from my iPhone in order to create space to apply the iOS 8 update. When I went to add the music back to my phone, there are songs in iTunes that won't sync. All of the songs I am trying to add back were on the phone before the iOS 8 update was installed. Up to this point I have not had any problems adding or deleting music from the phone / library.
FYI, I am only using genuine Apple cords to connect to my computer, so generic cables are not an issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8

Same issue here, but on an iPhone 4.
Tried multiple combinations of unchecking playlist, reboot mac, reboot phone ... nothing worked.
Re-initialized the phone and bam .. music is synching.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

I synced my ipad and deleted all my apps!

i synced my ipad and it deleted all my apps! I figured out how to get them back but now all my progress in the games is deleted! I thought apple was the best electronics company, but this really ticked me off!

There was definitely a warning that this would happen before you started the sync. It asks you if you are sure that you want to replace the stuff on your iPad with this library. Please take the time to READ everything whenever you're doing something on the computer. Most guys just click ok or cancel on everything without reading and then wonder why their computer is infested with viruses and all kinds of spyware junk.

Apps won't sync with iTunes 12.1.2

(iMac with OS X 10.10.3, iTunes 12.1.2.27; iPhone with iOS 8.3)
After upgrading to OS X 10.10.3, all the apps in my iTunes library were gone (music was still there). I transferred the apps on my iPhone back to the library, and downloaded the rest of the previously purchased apps from the App Store.
I then updated the apps in the library. In the iTunes App panel for the phone, those apps are now marked "Update". But when I sync the iPhone, the updated apps do not transfer to the phone.
Rebooted both computer and phone, no effect. Any ideas?

Ditto. Even the new 2.0.1 firmware made no difference. I've had no luck with iTunes in this dept at all. I can download apps to the phone, but they won't sync back to iTunes. If I download apps to iTunes, not only will they not transfer to the phone, but all the apps on the phone get wiped w/o warning.

ITunes 11 won't sync with my iPhone and iPad, but will with my iPod!

Why won't my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 sync with iTunes 11? My iPod Classic syncs fine, but iTunes 11 does not even recognize my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both are visible in My Computer so I know it's not a USB or connection problem.

Just guessing here as I don't have an Iphone or Ipad.
Try to enable Show Side Bar (Menu Bar - View - Click Show Side Bar) (Keyboard Short Cut Ctrl + S)
Can you see them now ?
Edit: // Some suggestions you can try from other discussions
verified that all the itunes services are running
apple mobile device, bonjour service & ipod service?
Finally tried to update driver and it said I had the latest driver for Windows 7. I then disabled it, hard reset on iPad (original iPad) and when it was back on it installed the driver on my computer. Enabled driver and GLORY! It finally works normal.

Apps won't sync with iTunes

Has anyone had trouble syncing apps with iTunes? I have a couple of apps that work fine on the phone, but when I plug the phone into my mac, iTunes will not sync. Also, when I download apps to iTunes, they will not synch back to the phone---any ideas?

New iTunes videos won't sync with Apple TV (1st Gen)

I have two Apple TVs (1st Gen) that have been working wonderfully. I've had no problem in the past downloading videos from iTunes even as recently as a month or two ago. However, after upgrading both my OS (10.8.2) and my iTunes (10.7) my most recent download (a series subscription) won't sync. I'm ruling out a problem with the Apple TVs specifically as it is happening with both. The message I'm getting is "[SHOW] could not be copied to Apple TV because it cannot be played on this Apple TV". This is the same message I get whether trying to sync the HD (720) or SD version. Thoughts?

You can re-download SD 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, uncheck the preference to download HD in the bottom right corner.

HT2513 Older iCal calendars (used with MobileMe) now won't sync with iCloud without creating duplicates. How do I sync to my other devices without iCloud?

I've been using iCal for years for my business and have over 15 calendars on it (to color coordinate projects) and used to sync them with MobileMe. Now that I've upgraded my mac and have Mountain Lion and can only use iCloud to sync Address Book, Notes etc - iCloud doesnt even acknowledge my 15+ calendars unless they are DUPLICATED.
I've turned OFF iCloud and tried to sync via iTunes telling it to sync to iphone/ipad from "Calendar on this Mac" - but it sees nothing. My device Calendars are blank (iCloud off on them too).
HELP!!!

I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
I did not test merging so far...
IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

Calendar.app won't sync with Google calendar after Yosemite update

I recently clean installed Yosemite on my 11" Macbook Air and my Google calendar will not sync with Calendar.app. Everything else on my Google account syncs with no problem, but the calendar refuses. I tried with another google account and had the same problem. Unlinked and re-linked the account in question, same problem. Turned off 2-factor auth, same problem. Tried with CalDAV, doesn't work.
In Preferences > Internet Accounts > Google Account in Question, the box next to Calendars is unchecked by default. When checking it, I get a progress wheel that spins for a minute or so and then...nothing.
I'm out of troubleshooting steps. Is there something I'm missing here?

I'm having the exact same problem after clean install of Yosemite too.
Update: I followed the suggestion on this thread and it seemed to solve the problem.
really weird... i just temporary connected to my phone's Personal Hotspot instead of regular home wi-fi,
and it started to sync!
