  • ITunes not showing app updates from iPhone

    I did some searches and found some people that have had similar, but not exactly the same problem.
    My iPhone 3GS shows that I have four apps that need updating. I don't like to use my data plan for updates if I don't have to, so I prefer to update via iTunes. The Problem is that when I go to iTunes, it does not show that these updates are available.
    Phone Software Version 4.3.3
    iTunes Version 10.3.1.55
    All the apps that have updates (according to the iPhone) are set to sync when connected to iTunes, but syncing them does not get the updates to show up in iTunes.
    If i go to the iTunes store through iTunes to try and re-download them, it already says "downloaded" and so I can't re-download them to get the newer version.
    If anyone knows where I can find the answer to this, please provide a link. I'm don't mind reading...I just had no success when I was searching myself.

    I have exactly the same problem.  I think it started some time ago (perhaps a couple of month).  Prior to that, I'll go to iTunes and get the apps again.   Now it says 'downloaded' but WHERE??????

    From the backup you regularly made of all your files on the computer.
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Movies that i bought on itunes dont show on iCloud

    movies that i bought on iTunes dosen't show on icloud , how do i get them back ?

    Films can't be redownloaded in all countries, and even where they can be not all studios have agreed to it and studios could also remove their films from the store (if some films show for redownloading but others don't then check to see if any are hidden). If you haven't got copies of them on your computer/device nor on your backup of your downloads and they are still in your country's store, then you could try contacting support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Firmware update failed - how to resolve remotely

    I bought my father an Apple TV so he could subscribe and watch MLB. Everything was working fine until the Apple TV attempted to update itself. Apparently the firmware update failed.  I need to know how to remotely resolve this for him. I can access his PC remotely so I read some info that you can update Apple TV via iTunes. I also need to confirm that the USB socket on the Apple TV is a USB Mini type. I'm assuming you can just plug the Apple TV into a USB socket and then from iTunes initiate the firmware update, much like you do an iPad. He's not very technically savvy, so I need to do this for him or have him call Apple support.
    Any suggestions or help is appreciated. 

    If he hasn't done so get him to do the old fashioned trick of unplugging teh mains power to it and restarting.
    If it restarts correctly the update can be reattempted.
    If it's truly bricked then return to Apple or restore using itunes will be necessary.

  • I am using an iphone 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

  • I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

    i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

    First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

  • I updated song titles in itunes but the changes dont show up on my ipod

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps saying there app updates but they dont show up on the download screen

    itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps showing app updates available on the sidebar but when i click to get updates, the update screen says there are no updates available

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.
