Itunes says it has downloaded my apps but they don't show on my screen

My daughter and I each have an ipod touch--hers is downloading apps but mine is not. It says it is doing it when I plug it into the computer (I have opted to manually sync items since we share an itunes library) but the apps are not on my ipod.
help please?

I have realized what is probably the root of the problem. When I saved my photos on to my PC I transferred them using the 'cut' method. So they do not appear on the phone. But the phone still seems to have them saved somehow, but I cannot access them.

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

How do I install purchased apps on ipad2? It says I have purchased the apps but they are not installed.

I have just purchased an ipad2 and purchased 2 apps. This is my first ipad. The ipad says I have purchased these apps but they are not installed. I don't know how to install them. Also I can only see them if I go to either the app store or the game center and click on purchased. I would like them to show up on screen that shows when I open the ipad but maybe that only happens when they are installed?

Did you purchase them directly on the iPad or on your computer's iTunes ? If on your iPad in the App Store app then have you checked to see if they are on a different homescreen by swiping the homescreen to the left ? If they are on a different screen, and there are spaces on the first homescreen then you can move them :
Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds until the icons jiggle .
Arrange the icons by dragging them (don't drag too quickly). You can't leave gaps between icons on a page
to move them to a different screen drag them (not too quickly) and then hold them so that they are overhanging the edge of the screen - after a couple of seconds or so the display should change to the next/previous screen (depending on which edge you are holding it) and you can then place the icon.
Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
If you downloaded them on your computer then you can either connect your iPad to your computer and sync them across, or go into the App Store app on the iPad and re-download them via the Purchased tab (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)

Can't believe that I can't run movie videos simultaneously on my ipad. Just spent all weekend trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on apple this must be easy!

Can't believe that I can't run music videos simultaneouslly on ipad. ust spent 2 days trying to do it. Downloaded 2 Apps but they just keep freezing. Come on Apple this must be easy to fix!

first then this is a user helping forum only users like you read or write here if you want apples ear
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
other then that it's unclear what you are trying to do or if it's 1 or 2 things
playing music videos simultaneously would imply you trying to play more then 1 at once, this is not something it support out of the box I'd say.
then there is the 2 apps, are you refearing to apps which should let play many music videos at once?
and do they freeze when you try to download them, or when you try to start them,
and maybe the name of the apps, in question would make it easier for people to help.

ITunes says updating files on my iPod, but podcasts do not show up.

I have an iPod Classic 80g. It is set to manually manage files and disk use is enabled. Recently I had to reformat my PC and reinstall the OS and other programs. Prior to this I was able to click and drag the video podcast I subscribe to directly to my iPod. Now, after the reformat, when I drag the new podcasts to my iPod, iTunes says its updating files my files, but when its finished there are no files added to my iPod. When I try to add it again, it no longer says it's updating, but still nothing happens. I have checked in all available folders incase it was adding to the wrong place, but it is nowhere to be found except fot being temporarily in the recently added folded. All other media types like movies and music import without a problem to my iPod.
Please help.

I found this answer on http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-197870.html
I tried it and it worked. I am not tech savy, but I am in the process of downloading all of the other shows this way. Once I entered in the url in the "sync podcasts", it then allowed me to place all of the newly downloaded podcasts under podcasts. I played around for a while, so not sure I can walk you through it, but it will work.
Once I had synced the podcast, I went into podcast, dbl clicked on the original subscribed podcast show, that brought up the other shows and I downloaded them, one by one. Am trying a mass download, but cannot seem to do that.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, you have to subscribe to a podcast and select "Sync podcasts" for it to show up under "Podcasts" on the iPod. Even podcasts downloaded through iTunes won't show up here if you don't subscribe/sync but just put them in a playlist.

I've downloaded audio books successfully to my iPod, but they don't show up on my iTunes.. and I want to delete some.

I've successfully downloaded audio books to my iPod for years but now they don't show up on iTunes, not under Music, not under books or Audiobooks - nowhere!
And I want to delete some...

Hello, mimi2216.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This could be a result of Automatic Downloads not being enabled, the apps were too large to download via the cellular data network or a cellular data connection was not available at the time of download. The best option would be to download the missing apps via the steps in the second article below.

I download apps but they do not show up on home screen.

on app store they say downloaded. i have tried restarting, logging out/in. everything. any ideas? this has happened to multiple apps.

Apps that are downloaded do not necessarily show up on your home screen.

I purchase ringtones on iphone, but they don't show up as purchased in itunes and i can't transfer from iphone to itunes.

I have an iphone 3 on which i downloaded ringtones, two of which are not showing in itunes. I now just purchased the iphone 4s. When I synced the ringtones, those two were of course missing. How do I get itunes to recognize that I purchased those ringtones on the iphone 3?
Thanks!

Well Defcom, your last response didn't fix it, however, it helped!
You had me delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and com.apple.ichatAgent.plist. I did that and restarted with no luck. However, when I was in there, I found one other file that was related that you didn't mention, com.apple.ichat.plist. I deleted it too, restarted and boom, it works and she shows up now. Also, the fonts and such are working properly now too haha. So while you didn't solve it, you pretty much did! Thanks for your timely and helpful responses!

I purchased tones on my ipad, but they don't show up on my computer or iphone

Being that Apple doesn't allow my ringtones from my 5 to transfer to my new 6, I had to purchase new tones, from itunes. Well, I purchased the tones from my ipad, but now they won't show up on my computer, or my iphone 6. I set all of the machines up to sync wireless, and to share as well, but have had no luck. I am almost inclined to return this **** phone; can anyone please help? Thanks

I connected the ipad to the computer, but it is not the computer assigned to the phone (we have two different desktops). The older computer is where the ipad gets synced, and the new computer is where the iphone gets synced.
Is there a way to get the tones transferred to the new computer?

HT201272 iPhone 5 - I've downloaded and backed up ringtones etc to my pc but they've disappeared from my phone. When I connect my phone to pc they show in the tones but they don't show as previously downloaded when I go to iTunes in my phone. How can I ge

I've read the 'How to re-download' article but it doesn't address my problem. They just aren't showing either as purchased or downloaded on my iPhone...but if I connect my iPhone to my PC and select Tones from the dropdown list, they are all there. How can I get them to show on my phone or why don't they show...??
I tried to re-download one of them and I got a message saying..."you've purchased this before, do you want to purchase again?"
does anyone have an answers...??

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

ITunes says songs are copied to iPod, but they're not there

I'll preface this by saying I'm a newer iPod user (since March of this year).
I added a bunch of songs to iTunes tonight on our other computer that has XP. It said the iPod was updated and could be removed from the USB (first time it's ever said that, usually it says "iPod Update Complete" on iTunes, but "Do Not Disconnect" on the iPod). I go to listen to my iPod tonight, and none of the songs I added to iTunes are there -- not one. I'm not sure if this is related, but a couple days ago half of my songs in iTunes had the exclamation point next to them indicating the file was gone; search of the computer turned up nothing (most of the songs I added tonight were the ones lost).
Is it something I did?

Hello,
I am not sure, but please have a try
f your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC

Itunes 11 appears to download my CD but it does not show up in my music?

I insert my own CD. itunes goes through the importing process on each track, but when it is done, the new tracks do not show up in Music or Recently added. Where is it? I do not have itunes Match. Any ideas? I import my own CD's like this all the time.

I had the same issue and it seems to me, that the problem is the Apple cloud. The cloud symbol next to my music library wash showing an update after I imported a new CD. And only after this was done (which took a loooong time over my slow DSL line), the CD was visible.
Although I do not use iTunes Match it looks as if Apple is transferring my music library data to the cloud.
Best regards

When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.
