If you purchase content on your phone, not in your iTunes library, before syncing, with your phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

ITunes deleting my apps!

I have an iPod Touch (2.2.1 version) and all of a sudden it has stared deleting about a quarter of my applications when it syncs.
When i plug my iPod in, I look in the Applications tab and the ones that are deleted are unticked. But no matter how many times i check the box its always unchecks itself and deletes those certain apps.
I really don't want to download them again as my internet is quite slow and further downloads makes my internet much worse.

I have the same issue. It started after downloading iTunes 9. 3 applications that I had had no trouble with for months in prior iTunes versions just uncheck themselves upon syncing with my iPod Touch, original. I tried deleting the apps from within iTunes, quitting and re-running the software, and re-downloading them from the iTunes store. Nothing changed.
The 3 application I'm having trouble with are:
Facebook
Stopwatch
Now Playing

ITunes deleted all apps and all saved data lost...

I connected my ipod touch to my computer and it started to sync. I was watching the info at the top when it started deleting all my applications. I clicked on the applications tab, and almost all my apps were unselected. I let it finish, and when it was done, I only had about 10 apps left. I reconnected it to the computer and selected one more app to put on my ipod, and it didn't bring all the saved data with it. I have now lost a years worth of stuff. I tried restoring from backup, but the latest backup was from after it deleted all apps. Anyone know how I can get all my saved data back to my ipod? Also, why would it get rid of all those apps. I know I didn't deselect them.
Thanks for your help.

When syncing, Itunes deleted my apps!

It turned out that itunes copied my apps but I found it strange that they disappeared ftom my ipad. I had to drag them back and they were reseted; I lost all my login data and preferences on each app. why did this happen and how can I avoid it?

I think I found the problem. When I tried to synch photos to my ipod touch and I clicked apply, the synch all the apps automatically was probably clicked also which made my apps go from my ipod touch to my itunes. I was able to synch again my apps but some of them with data (like my air canada app with my data for my flights) did not have the data anymore. I had to start again. Is there a way to save your app with the data?

ITunes deleted my apps during sync

I looked up other people's problems but nothing that I saw quite matched what I was exaclty looking for.
I plugged my iPhone into my Mac and noticed my Apps haven't been updating. So I went in to sync my apps with my iTunes library. It said I had apps on my phone that were not present on my computer. Would I like to transfer those apps to my computer. I said no because I had recently deleted some I did not use anymore.
Apparently, all the apps i didn't want to sync didn't sync. So that's ok.
But their was one app, helps keeps certain photots private, is now gone.
I had a ton of pictures inside that app. Is their anyway of recovering the app?
IDK if doing a restore from a previous back up would work because I just backed up my phone as i did the sync.

That's why you don't have a backup in iTunes, you are backing up to iCloud instead. (For future reference, you can still perform a backup in iTunes if you are backing up to iCloud but it has to be done manually. To do this, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and select Back Up.)
To restore to your iCloud backup you have to erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Data. You then go through the setup assistant again as you did when your phone was new, but when given the option, select Restore iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure to connect your phone to wi-fi and to your charger as restoring from an iCloud backup can sometimes take hours to complete.
Prior to doing this, sync your phone with iTunes to transfer any recent purchases. Also import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts and calendar (such as by syncing them with iCloud: Settings>iCloud>Contacts and Calendars>On). You will also need to save any other data more recent than the backup as it will overwrite all settings and data on your phone. (For example, sync or email any recent notes, voice memos, etc.). Once you've done all this, proceed with restoring your phone from your iCloud backup as described above.

ITunes deleted my apps from my Mac after syncing my iPad

I have had my iPad for almost a year with no problems syncing (apps,music,etc purchased on my iPad). I recently tried to sync my ipad and all of a sudden iTunes started deleting all of the apps I had purchased on my ipad. The apps (Angry Birds,etc) were not only deleted from my iPad, but they were erased from my iTunes library. I have searched everywhere on my Mac's hard drive and I cannot find any of them.
I know that I can look back through my purchase history and then redownload the apps, but I would rather 'undelete' them if it is possible. I also unfortunately did not back up anything. Lesson learned I guess.

I think I found the problem. When I tried to synch photos to my ipod touch and I clicked apply, the synch all the apps automatically was probably clicked also which made my apps go from my ipod touch to my itunes. I was able to synch again my apps but some of them with data (like my air canada app with my data for my flights) did not have the data anymore. I had to start again. Is there a way to save your app with the data?

ITunes deleting iPad apps on sync

My iTunes is automatically deleting all my iPad apps when I sync. In order to get them back I have to close iTunes and reopen and re-sync. Anybody else experiencing this?
Furthermore I AM LOSING ALL MY DATA in each app. Not happy.

The problem is that iTunes thinks your iPad is an iPhone - if you look at the device area in the list at the left of the screen, you'll see that there are only two entries beneath the name of the device ("Music" and "Movies"); for an iPad, there would be a "books" entry as well... When the device screen eventually comes up, you'll see that it talks about "iPhone" instead of "iPad".
Unfortunately, I don't have a a solution for you - this exact problem is preventing me from being able to sync to my iPad at all, and based on reading these forums, it's a fairly common problem that has no current fix. What I can suggest is that you watch the device list entry and if you only see an iPhone entry there (i.e, no "Books" category) you yank the USB cable immediately before it syncs. Based on what other people are saying, if you try again, eventually iTunes will probably identify it correctly, although this is not the case for me.
Good luck!

ITunes deleted my apps - I'm ******

Seriously. That sucked. Now I have to download all of them again (at least I don't have to pay). And I have to start Angry Birds from the beginning. I guess I'll have to spend a crap load of time reading up on how Apple is so smart and easy to use to prevent it from doing something so stupid.

Okay. I'm better, now. Growing pains, I guess.

Why did iTunes delete 2000 photos during Sync, even with 1 GB free space

I am having real headaches with Sync function in iPhone/iTunes. The 2 biggest problems concern Contacts and Photos.
Photos: I used to have 4465 photos on my iPhone, using 1.47 GB at a time when my iPhone still had 0.67 GB free capacity out of its 29.3 GB total. About a week ago, while syncing with iTunes, I saw the error message on my PC stating that there is not enough space on my iPhone to copy all photos. At the end of that sync, I was left with only 2072 photos using 0.78 GB, while the free capacity on my iPhone increased to 1.6 GB. I have synced at least 10 times since then to try and recover my photos, I have deleted the 2.4 GB photo cache, but exactly the same error message and issues happen. Please help get my photos back into my iPhone!!?
Contacts: my iPhone is the principal device on which I put new contacts or update existing ones. After syncing, sometimes I see that the new information entered into my iPhone is no longer there. And so I lose contact with people, since I have no other records! That’s really frustrating.
I have tried upgrading my iPhone software from current v4.02 to the latest v4.1, but for the 5 times that I have tried my WiFi has timed out, and so still not upgrade, as Murphy Law would have it!

I guess I should have included a little more info:
1. I only have 1 appleID
2. I only have 1 apple device (the one iphone, nothing else)
3. I only sync on one computer (VERY annoying you cant use more than 1!!)
4. I never have any other problems during syncing and don't change any settings
5. I downloaded the app again so it is back.
I am not asking how to get the app back, I just want to know WHY itunes deleted this app. This is the second or 3rd time it has happened and it is really annoying.
I also would like to get my files back. So again, I'd like to know why itunes deleted the app and if it deleted my files as well.
The most important part of this is to find out WHY this happened so that it wont happen again. It seems to be a pretty simple operation: Plug the iphone in, itunes opens and does a sync. It almost always works perfectly, I never change any settings. Yet every once in a while it deletes a newly installed app so obviously something is wrong. If I can find out what I did wrong, then I can avoid it in the future.
Thanks!

ITunes deleting iOS aps that are downloaded by device

If I download an app directly on my iPad or iPod. Then synch the device with iTunes, iTunes deletes the app from the device. Not sure what to do.

Have you tried to first download purchases from within iTunes?
In the menu go Store -> Available downloads (or something similar, my iTunes is not set to english)

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

ITunes store says app is 'downloaded'. It's been accidentally deleted from my mac, so iTunes can't find it. How do I redownload it?

Due to changing backup disks, some apps were deleted from my mac. iTunes says it can't find them, but when I look for them on the App Store, the button says 'downloaded', and there's nowhere to click to re-download them. Where do I go from here?

Hey NeilJones,
Thanks for the question. You’ll want to delete the app from your computer (even though technically it cannot be found). Once deleted from iTunes, you can return to your purchase history and re-download it:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
Click the app you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.
Download past purchases

How do I delete an app installed with an old iTunes account?

How do I delete an app installed with an old iTunes account? After syncing my iPhone with iTunes, the app is not listed in the App section.

To delete an app from your iphone, press and hold any icon until they all start wiggling. Apps that you can delete will have a circled x in the top left corner of the icon. Tap that circled x to delete. Tap home button to stop the wiggling.

How do you delete an app from your iPhone? Deleting it from iTunes is not working.

Deleting the app from iTunes when my iPhone is hooked up the my MacBook isn't working. How do I get rid of apps I don't like?

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.
