Itunes synchs all apps on ipad and iphone

All,
sorry if I am double posting but couldn't find the same problem I am facing..
I have an iMac with latest itunes and patches..
Both Iphone and Ipad are running ios 4.2.1
The mac is my main platform for itunes but I also use a windows XP box at work.
I sometimes used that XP box to synch movies or books with both ipad and iphone and never had a problem as I am not synching them with that box..
recently, when I go back to the mac, it selects "all" the application by default to synch ... I have to deselect them one by one ...
so I have 2 questions ...
- Why is it behaving like this ? Is there any changes made ?
- how can I bulk delesect unwanted apps ? Currently I go on the springboard display in itunes in order to remove the application I don't want (as like this I can see the "to be" newly installed apps.
Tks in advance for your replies..

I'm observing the same problem. iTunes is nearly frozen, especially podcasts make the system extremely slow, no downloads possible at all. Opening an album song list is also painfully slow. All this prevents me from buying from the store. Apple should be interested in this. Please note that I'm not using iTunes match!

Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?

Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?
I have tried numerous times to connect to ITunes Store to update my current apps and continue to get this message. Apple has determined that it is not a device problem or an Apple problem. It has to do with ITunes. Can anyone help?

I am having no problems downloading from the app store today. I just tried it again. However, I read some of those other discussions as well and there have been times when the iTunes or App Store has been out of commission. Don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to acknowledge it because that is not going to happen. That is not how they operate.
You can report it to them here ....

ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong

I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4. I put iOS5 on both of them. My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices. I did this and the apps do not push to my other device. I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters. I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot

I believe you are misunderstanding. You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this. There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it. However, this is for new downloads only.
For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes. Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps.

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

delete off any apps that are asking for the wrong apple id and download/sync them over from the correct one

HT204074 I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone. Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone? Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?

Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining). I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices. Data storage is still same.

I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac. I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each). I do not store tunes or videos. After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size. Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen. If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right? Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device. It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system. So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups. With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
Can I expedite this? Well of course you can. If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now. Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

ITunes stopped syncing videos to iPad and iPhone

I have a bunch of TV shows purchased from iTunes store on my laptop (MacBook Air, OS X 10.8.2) which I routinely sync to my iPad and iPhone. After ungrading my iPhone to iOS 6, the sync stopped working to both iPhone and iPad (which I did not upgrade yet) with iTunes saying that I can not sync these videos because I do not have permission to play them on this computer. This is incorrect as this computer is authorized to play them, and I can actually play them on this computer. I've done all the tricks I've found suggested - reset iPhone (which I didn't think would work since the iPad is affected too), deactivate and activate my iTunes account, and am stuck. Thoughts?

Hey there kuyosh!
After reviewing your issue, I have an article to suggest that will help you troubleshoot the issues with your iPad. The following article will help you do some basic troubleshooting on any iPad issues you may be seeing and their interactions with syncing to the computer:

The specific section you want to pay attention to will be "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad." If you are still having issues after following the steps in that section of the article, you will want to restore the iPad by following the instructions in this article:

ITunes shows no photos in iPad and iPhone

I got 13000 photos in iphoto they dont show in ipad and iphone. 10.9 on mac, 7.0.3 (11B511) on iphone, 5.1.1 on ipad (it is an old one).

Sorry if am not clear.
!- On the mac I have in iPhoto about 13000 pictures with album, maps, faces, etc. It work very well.
2- I go to itunes, swtch to iphone, Go to photos and verify that I have checked "All photos, Albums, Event and Faces". I press sync.
3- After it is finished I go on my iPhone in Photos. It says: "No Photos or Videos" and few sentences describing how to get photos. For my case it means to sync using itunes.
I have looked on the iphone during the whole process, as far as I can aproximately see during step 4 of 6 it creates an empty space for each Album, Face, etc. During step 5 it fill those spaces with the photos. During step 6, whem it say finishing sync everithing disapper and you get "No Photos or Videos".
As a matter of curiosity, one time I had a power failure at the beginning of step 6. After I had some of my photos normally in iphone but when it re-sync I was back to "No Photos or Videos"..
It is exactly the same on the ipadbut but the wording of the message is different having the same sense.
Note that before Maverick, on Mountain Lion, it worked quite normally.

I downloaded an app for ipad and iphone hoping i can play it on my mac air laptop but it won't play...any thoughts?

Hi..
Apps that run on your Mac (OS X) cannot run on an (iOS) device such as iPads and iPhones.
Two different operating systems.

ITunes(?) wiped out half my apps on iPad and iPhone today

iPhone 4, iPad2 - both set up for wifi sync to my iMac. Latest and greatest software all around.
My last sync (on purpose) was last night. Plugged both devices into their chargers just as I got ready for bed. Got up this morning and all was well on both. Nothing wrong to see.
All morning used both devices and nothing seemed wrong. After lunch I went to my Mac and noticed some sort of a error message icon next to my phones device entry in iTunes. I clicked through it without taking much notice and went on with some work in another app. About 10 minutes later I looked back at iTunes and notices the the Apps tab for my phone looked wrong - way wrong. More than half of my apps had vanished. A quick visit to my phone in the other room confirmed that somehow half of all my apps were gone. My phone was NOT plugged into power at the time. Next the really weird part.... I checked the apps tab for my iPad and - same story. Better than half my apps gone.... Another trip to my iPad confirmed that they were gone on the devices as well. Again. The iPad was not plugged into its charger.
Now. One device I can chalk up to some human mistake on my part. Two devices with the same issue and I'm thinking bug... I thought wifi sync only kicks in when I have the devices plugged in. But somehow iTunes wip these apps without them being plugged in. As a test I checked the box for one of the apps in iTunes and hit apply. And again - without being plugged in the app was synced back to my iPad.
To fix the problem I had to do a complete restore of both devices. After many hours I have the both back the way they were this morning. I've also disabled wifi sync for the time being. Not sure what other detail to add. But I feel like there is a iTunes wifi sync bug out there someplace

Perhaps there is some corruption on your iPhone. You could try to restore it: iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

Buy app for iPad and iPhone?

If I've bought an app for iPad which also is available for iPhone, can I then download it for free on my iPhone?

If it is exactly the same app then you can re-download it for free - all your previously purchased apps (that are still available in the store) should show in the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app on the iPad, or in the Purchased link on the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes . If the app doesn't appear in Purchased then you haven't previous purchased it with that account. The '+' indicates that the app is a 'universal' app i.e. it has processing within to detect what device it is on and will tailor it's screen display accordingly (so it will make use of the larger iPad screen and not just use an iPhone sized portion of the screen).
