Itunes removed all my apps from iphone

All my applications that weren't on iphone when I bought it have been removed from my iphone. They don't show up on my iphone app sync page but there are listed in itunes under applications. Each one has an exclamation mark next to it. How do I get them back onto my iphone? And why did this happen without my prompting?

the ( ! ) means those files were moved and iTunes lost track of them. Doug has a script http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=bringoutyerdead but i'm not sure if it will work with apps.
if you cannot locate those files at all, be aware that purchased apps can be re-downloaded for free.

I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

Assuming all the device(s) have been synced to this computer as its Home computer. The easiest way would be to delete all the apps from iTunes. After which connect your device(s) to the computer (iTunes) and transfer purchases from the device(s) by right click (control click) the device name in the left sidebar and the click transfer purchases. When done only the apps on your device(s) will be in you iTunes library.
Hope that helps

ITunes refuses to transfer apps from iPhone 4

iTunes refuses to transfer my apps from my iPhone 4 to the comp. It transfered the songs no problem but whenever i try to transfer the apps it goes though this "speed" transfer process. It takes like 30 sec or less to "transfer" all my apps into my itunes. Ive tried various options like changing out cords and using different ports. I deleted the idevice info in the program data folder etc, etc. Yet nothing works. Im using Win 7 and iOS 4.3.5.
please help! id like to have my apps actually in my itunes.

How do I retrieve all my apps from iphone 3 to put on my iphone 4s

I purchased a new iphone 4s today and transferred all my photos, phone numbers etc via my back up on itunes. But for some reason all my apps did not transfer to the new phone. Can anyone help with this?

No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. After you restore your 4S from the backup of your old iPhone, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. So, connect your 4S, iTunes running & sync your apps & other iTunes content to your new phone.

ITunes removes podcast playing list from iPhone

This is a truly odd behaviour IMO - adds salt to injury in light of iPhone placing order of podcast oddly (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2552626&tstart=0)
1. Create a play list consisting of podcasts on the iPhone. Everything works nicely on the iPhone until
2. Sync with iTunes.
Boom! Your podcast list is now in iTunes but disappears from iPhone!

Kudos to iTunes 10.1 or/and iOS 4.2! The bug is now fixed, with extra bonus - and a new bug.
Before the update, another frustration was that I couldn't add any episode from iTunes U to a playlist. (Not sure if this is possible in iTunes.) Now, not only iTunes is no longer removing playlist with podcasts, but it now allows iTunes U to be included.
In fact, not only it allows both podcast and iTunes U, iTunes 10.1 even recovered all the contents it rejected in the past, and restored my test playlist to include everything I attempted to include that is still on the iPhone.
The only problem is: I could no longer maintain any edit I made on iPhone. As the restored list became so big, I cleared the list, added the few items I wanted. But as soon as I resync, the long, unwieldy list comes back!

When I try to sync photos from iphoto from my Macbook to my Ipad 1 I get query do I want to remove all my apps from my iPad and that all data included in those apps will be deleted. Help

When trying to sync some photos from Iphoto to my ipad I get a message asking me if Iwish to continue as all my apps will be deleted if I do. How can I overcome this?

Has your iPad been synced to a different computer?
Do you have apps on your iPad that were purchased with a different iTunes account than the one you use on your computer?
Have your ever successfully synced to your own computer before?

ITunes Match removed all existing songs from iPhone

Be careful. I now have 14G free on my iPhone! All my previously synced music (3032 songs) is gone! I have just the 167 songs I have bought from iTunes!
Watch out!

A bunch of MacWorld advice suggested that it would leave the tunes on there that were there already.

IOS 5.1 removes all the music from iPhone

Updated my iPhone to iOS 5.1 and all the music got removed. No I need to spend hours to get it back. I'm not buying the music from iTunes because iTunes store is not available in my country. Even if it was avaiable still some of the music cannot be found there. Did anyone else encoutered this as well? what is the solution? What to do to prevent this situation to happen in the future with iOS 5.2 or iOS 6.0?
PS
I've updated OTA

Never lost my music in all the years updating my phones. Did you sync your phone with a different computer that doesn't have your original itunes library? Thiings do get erased that way.

Remove Apple Watch app from iPhone

I just updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8.2. For some reason I now have an Apple Watch app on my phone. How do I remove it? I don't intend to ever purchase an Apple Watch. Why on earth would Apple automatically install something like this on a phone?

This app is part of the Apple default software and can't be removed. However, most users put it into a separate folder, just like the other apps that they don't want to have on the screen.
You may give Apple some feedback about that, if you think that there should be a possibility to do that:

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help.

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?

On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control

Using Itunes, I copied all my apps from my Ipod touch to a new Iphone 4. Problem is all the apps on the Iphone are starting up like a new install. I would think my "password" app and "lose it" app would have the past data transferred to the Iphone.

Any messages?

How can I remove all the music from my iPhone?

I want to remove all the music from my iPhone 5 (Current iOS) and then load a completely new set of songs from my Mac (Current OS).
How do I do that ?
Even when I define a specific new playlist and tell it to apply only that it still does not remove the unwanted songs.
Thanks !

I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

Syncing Apps from Iphone to Itunes and vice versa, quick question.

Hello, so I had a small question to ask about transferring apps from both the iphone to itunes.
Basically, I downloaded an app from the app store ON my iphone.
I've made a lot of progress and have a lot of data in this app.
The(Sync app) box was never checked on my itunes, so I transferred my purchases from my iphone to my itunes, and now i've downloaded a few more apps (over 20mb) ON itunes that I want to put on my iphone.
Thing is, when I click "sync apps" it gives me a warning saying something along the lines of "Apps in itunes will replace all in iphone, including data"
Now, i've already transferred my purchases, so all the apps from my phone are on itunes, but if I sync, will I lose the DATA in my apps on my iphone? Or will the data remain in those apps?
Basically, will syncing my apps replace my settings/data/progress of the apps I have on my iphone?

There is no data in the apps themselves. Your app data is stored in the backup file iTunes creates. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
From Page 179 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iphone_userguide.pdf, "You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data."
So, make a backup before you click the "Sync apps button. Then, you may have to restore your phone from that backup to reload the data.
