ITunes - My App Updates - 5 apps always there although they're updated

The "My App Updates" in iTunes has 5 apps that don't appear to register as updated. They're updated on my iPhone, they appear updated in iTunes, but they're always shown as needing an update. I believe all 5 started the behavior about the same time about a week ago.
Other apps appear to update normally.

I've restarted the phone. Haven't reset and won't restore unless I'm desperate (loose too much info on phone).
Phone itself has the right app versions and is operating correctly.
iOS 4.2
Not hacked or jailbroken

I can't use my itunes install app,always appear 'will install'

I can't use my itunes install app,always appear 'will install'. But can sync books, and download via wifi..

I have the exact same problem. I have a 80GB Ipod Classic and i'm using Vista. My Itunes works perfectly until I plug the Ipod in. Same thing with the My computer Page. I've tried to restore settings on my ipod, now it is empty but still shows 12GB taken, I don't understand why.

My ipad2 was stolen today and I was not able to wipe it remotely. Apple deauthorized it but since I had a bunch of apps on there, are they still accessible?

Your apps are stored in your iTunes Library on your computer. If you recover the iPad or purchase a new one just re sync your apps / music etc.

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!

When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

ITunes 11 apps? where'd they go?

downloaded new itunes 11. the app button that used to appear on the sidebar is gone. how do you update apps with iTunes 11?

Not only did you help solve my question, but you helped me with other issues too. Very helpful. Thanks!
This issue goes to show the stupidity of computer software designers. Why change how things work, at their essence, in terms of how lay users actually interact with their product? They just expect us to be able to find things when they screw up while trying to prove their worth to their employer.
I appreciate your help.

Apps: download them but they don't appear in iTunes

hi guys,
when I donwload an app via itunes i see it dowloading into a "download" temporary folder right below the "itunes store" tab on the left of the itunes. Apps stay there for a while then disappear and i can't even find them in the apps tab of itunes.
And still, when i check my hard disk i can see them in a folder called "mobile apps" into my "itunes" folder.
I want to download apps from itunes instead from iphone. I download them but I just can't find them on itunes once downloaded.
What's wrong with all that?
I have an iphone 3g, 2.2.1 fw
thank you for your help.

I see a large number of messages about iPhone apps "crashing" and authorization issues. I was frustrated for many months about some, many or most apps "crashing" at startup after installing new apps. In my case "crash" means that the initial screen of the app would briefly appear and then the iPhone would revert to the original screen shown before the app was started.
Newly downloaded apps would always work. You could remove any app then download it again and it would work. At some latter time you might sync with iTunes and after that many apps would start "crashing" again.
What a frustrating experiance!
BTW, my computer runs WindowsXP, I think that not using a Mac is likely to be a key part of people's issues!
So, the summary of the issue is:
Download a new app on your iPhone. Sync with iTunes on your Windows system. Look at the list of applications iTunes is aware of. Note if iTunes does not have a complete list. Over time note how apps not on the list start to "crash" on startup.
I've finally found a solution that appears to resolve my app crash issues:
Sync your iPhone to iTunes. Deautorize and reauthorize your computer. Note how the iTune applications list has added more items including your most recent App Store downloads. Sync your iPhone again using the button on the iTunes Applicaiton screen. Enjoy the fact that your apps on your iPhone now all run OK. Remember to deauthorize and reauthoirze your computer when you sync after you install more apps on your iPhone.
The apporach above has changed my experiance from frequent frustation to no more issues.
Not sure if it matters but I've yet to add any actual music on my iPhone. I do have some podcasts. Perhaps if I had music that needed authorization that would change things. Also, I have no apps which cost money. Again, if I had for fee apps maybe that would change the situation.
It seems like there are a lot of folks having app "crash" issues. The Digital Rights Management authorization seems to be in the middle of the issues. My guess is that iTunes on Windows with iPhone does not get quite the same attention as on Mac. These issues seem to cause many folks to be frustrated. Suggested solutions include a complete system reset which allows the iPhone to "work correctly for a few months".
As far as I can tell latest updates of all SW involved still show the issue. If it really has been resolved or it's somehow my user stupidity my appologies for wasting other's time.
Since I've found a solution that's not too painful I'm happy. However, Apple may want to improve the user experiance for the masses.

ITunes backup app

I've updated to latest version of iTunes and iPhone software. Keep getting a 'Choose application' window flashing up saying 'Where is iTunes Backup .app'. There doesn't seem to be any great consistency to when this happens, and iTunes isn't always running when it does happen. Anyone able to help on what this is about?

Ok I understand all that, so the iTunes needs to save the apps and the iTunes backup saves the app data.
so I'm plugging my iPhone in, selecting backup with iTunes as that's what I want, I also want it to save apps where I have them and everything.
so I'm selecting my phone going over to Apps as ticking sync, this is telling me this "are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data in the jog know will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library"
Is that going to delete my apps from my phone? I don't have a single app on the computer.
I want it to copy the my apps from my phone to the PC and the app data in the backup.
Sorry for being a bit dumb here
Thanks :)

HT5100 How to get iTunes U files from iTunes to the iTunes U app, not music app

I've downloaded a full iTunes U course on my iMac using iTunes. I have an iPad and iPhone bothe with the iTunes U app. All software is up to date. The course is viewable on my Mac and in the music app on my iOS devices but not the iTunes U app. How can they all sync?

All you need to do is the following:
1. Select iTunes U tab from your ipod in itunes
2. Check the box next to "Sync iTunes U" at the top
3. Make sure the box next to "Automatically include" is UNCHECKED
4. Select any course; check every box in the right menu.
5. Click "Apply" at the bottom right of screen.
***If you notice the percent of your videos may increase (at the bottom of the screen that shows the percentage of your music and videos, etc.), don't worry because after it is done syncing it will fix itself.
6. Look at your ipod menu on the left toolbar...iTunes U should show up. At this point you can sync all courses and they will appear in this menu.
7. NOW you can delete them.
For some reason it doesn't work to sync automatically, so if you have a lot of courses, then it ***** for a bit, but at least you don't need to erase your entire ipod.

Itunes won't update ipod with videos.

Everytime i go to upload videos, my Ipod itself won't have them on there, although they'll be on my computer/itunes. Also, my ipod will delete every single video on there within a few days. How can i solve this?

iPod touchs (and iPhones and iPads) do not have a disk mode and thus the article you cite does not apply.
To sync see:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If the iPod does not appear in iTunes:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

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.

ITunes - App Store - There are updates available that ain't available?

First of all, I'm starting to think that the iPhone ***** big time, but that's a whole other story...
So, here's my issue: Apparently there are updates to my applications available. So says iTunes and also the App Store app on the iPhone, both of them reporting the same number of apps available.
I'm quite sure that there was a button to "update all" on the iPhone on 2.0.1 and 2.0, but that seems to be missing? (but not the point anyway)
Then, in iTunes, the applications view tells me that there are updates available. When I click that link on the lower right that usually redirects to the update page, iTunes tells me that there are no updates available for my account?!
How can that be? Either there are or there ain't.
Is there a way to fix that problem? I would have updated the applications trough the iPhone, but as there are many (44) and I would have do update them one-by-one, I'd like to go an easier way...
I'm really patient, but I start to hate my iPhone. As it is now, it is just a ******* expensive piece of junk. :-((

I have fixed a similar issue in my iTunes. Here is my thoughts on why it happened and the fix.
I had recently added a second computer w/ iTunes with which my iPhone is now synching. I wanted to move my music library synching from work to home.
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I was synching:
Info, Contacts
Info, Calendar
Ringtones
Music
Podcasts
Video
Applications
On the 2nd PC (@ Home) I began synching:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (this nicely caused all of my iPhone Applications to be copied to this PC, in case of a need for a restore from home)
After beginning synching on the 2nd PC (@ Home), I disabled synching on 1st PC of:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (This apparently caused the issue)
The issue with phantom updates was showing up on the 1st PC (@ Work), but I was not synching Applications here. Apparently, I had updated some Applications from the 2nd PC (@ Home) and iTunes detected this and saw a need to show that my iTunes Applications needed updating. Something not in synch between iPhone - iTunes - App Store I believe.
The Fix:
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I enabled synching of Applications and then performed a synch. The phantom updates went away. I noted during the synch that my iPhone apparently updated some of the applications in my iTunes library.
I hope this helps or enlightens others having this difficulty.

ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
Thanks!!

I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

ITunes 8.1 -- Update apps causes repeated window to log in

Everytime I click on Applications and "check for updates" I am met with a login to account window. I put in my password and the window disappears then pops up again. It won't stop.
Things I've tried:
Rebooting
Logging into iTunes account through account name button first (could do it, but didn't fix the problem)
Any suggestions?

Well, at least I am not the only one stuck in this login query loop. That is SOOO frustrating.
I have tried everything I could think of, from de-/reauthorizing my mac, loggin in and out, deleting that SC Folder to doing all this with an admin account, restarting and so on etc. etc. etc. Nothing works.
Not being able to update my iphone apps seems to be related to the iTunes 8.1 update. I wonder why there are not more people complaining about this. If I'm part of a minority I guess I'll have to wait a long time before this gets solved.
I had a similar problem before related to upgrading songs to iTunes plus - which never got solved: when I eventually get my ITMS to show me how many songs I have eligible for an iTunes plus upgrade and I do buy them, I always get a second login data query that is supposedly needed to "update" the list of songs eligible for an upgrade. I get stuck in a loop there as well. I don't know if this is related to the much more annoying app update problem. Anyway:
PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS! Thank you.
