ITunes wants to download too many apps to my iPhone.

After getting an iPad Air the other day, when I went to back up my iPhone, iTunes keeps trying to download all the big apps that came free with the iPad into the iPhone. I don't want Garage Band, Numbers, iPhoto, etc. on my iPhone. It doesn't have enough memory to hold them all. There must be a way to tell iTunes which apps are for which device.

Well I let them download, then deleted them. We'll see what happens the next time I try to back up the iPhone.

Does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

31 apps is nothing. I have 130 apps XD. Then again, I'm using an iPhone 4S which has more RAM compared to the 3GS. RAM is everything when it comes to speed. To use the app switcher, press the home button twice quickly and a list of your recently opened apps will appear. Then hold down on any app and all the apps will go to wiggle mode (like they do when you're deleting apps. Now, simply tap on the red icon that appears at the top left corner of any app you don't want running in the background. This will free up RAM and should make your phone faster.

ITunes wants to download new iOS update even though iPhone has already updated.

I updated my iPhone 5 to 7.1.2 through my phone settings. I connect it to iTunes so I can restore my phone because I like doing so to get a little bit of storage space back every now and then. Once I click Restore, it says iTunes wants to download the 7.1.2 update. Now my question is why does it want to download it when it says that my phone is already updated to 7.1.2. This is very tedious because the download shows up to at least five hours. My iTunes is updated to most recent one as well. I just want to be able to restore my phone without having to download this 7.1.2 update even though my phone is already at 7.1.2. Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

I've managed to log in - reset everything to English - and run a backup - which of course took ten minutes and then gave me an error -1 code at the end.
All of my apps seem to be sitting on my imac itunes but they are not sitting on my ipad anymore.
Going to try to sync one of them over to my ipad but I suspect that all of the content in them is probably gone....

I want to download a free app. But iTunes wants my credit card information everytime and I get declined. Why and how do I fix it.

I want to download a free app. When I sign in then I have to sign in again to iTunes. Then it wants my credit card information as it always does. When I fill it out it says I'm decline and try a different card. Why it do that when the app is free. When first started iTunes I had no problem downloading apps. Why now since I used a card a few times does it ask me for my card information everytime now. Can't download any free apps without being declined.

Hello Snoweagle57,
It sounds like you are trying to download a free app, and when prompted to enter a credit card it is declined. I would use this article to go into iTunes and change your payment method to None:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you are unable to select None, the following article may help you determine why:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Changing your Apple ID to your current, working email address will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address.

I tried too download too many songs unto my ipod

please help me.
I'm such a loser.
ha.
OK. so, I had about 960 songs on my ipod and I was updating it today and this a message came up saying that I had tried to download too many songs. The ipod could either choose the songs I wanted on my ipod for me or I could choose. I got confused, and said the ipod should choose for me. On itunes along with all my regualr songs there is now a playlist with about 900 songs of the ones they picked. When I updated my ipod the only thing that was on it was said playlist. So I of course freak out, go into itunes and delete that list. Once the list is delated I plug my ipod back into the computer and come back only to find that all the songs on my ipod are gone. everything. However, even though the playlist is gone the 900 something orginal songs still remain on itunes itself. After freaking out again, I try to plug my ipod back in to see if now it will put the 968 songs back unto the ipod, it doesn't. I delete some songs off my itunes that I can live without.. still nothing. I only have 3.73 GBs on my mini ipod so the space can't be taken up can it?
can I get my songs back on my ipod??

Use the instructions in this article to set the iPod to sync manually, and then drag the songs you want on the iPod to the iPod in the iTunes source list. The message you got means that your iTunes library is too big for all of it to fit on the iPod.

Does having too many apps (like more than 100) affect the iPod Touch 5g's battery

So with today being the App Store's 5 year anniversary, there are a LOT of top notch apps becoming free, which I have wanted.
However this worries me - can having too many apps downloaded affect my iPod Touch 5g's performance & battery life?
Extra Details:
iPod Touch 5g 32gb, just got it two days ago.
iI already have over 70 apps

I say they will only adversely effect performance and battery life if the apps do things when the apps are completely shut down. By shutdown I mean the app are not in the recently used row when yo double click the Homne button. By doing something I mean that sme apps are always checking for things like when you get a notification.

Too Many Apps Resuming on Startup

Hey so I'm having an issue that's seriously driving me crazy. Here are the symptoms:
-When I restart or shut down/turn on my computer, way too many apps are opening. Like I quit some apps, continue using my computer, eventually restart it, and the apps I quit re-open, even though they were not running when Lion shut down.
NOTE: This happens even if I uncheck "Re-open windows when logging back in"!! It still opens up all my apps again!
-When I do things in apps like sticky notes such as creating new notes/editing existing notes and then quit the application, it opens from the state it started at (all new notes dissapear, edited notes revert).
-I open apps such as minecraft, and it loses all it's saved data and reverts me to a save I made like a week ago, but all future saves are gone.
-In system preferences, if I uncheck "restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", then exit out of system prefs, when I open it back up it's checked again.
-I also tried turning Number of Recent Items: Applications to "Never" and when I restarted this was back to 10.
My Computer:
Macbook Pro (May 2011)
i5 Processor
8GB Ram
OSX Lion (latest version)
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
Emory
