  • Itunes wont sync apps to ipod touch

    I bought a second gen iPod touch last Christmas for my son, and loaded it up with the preschool apps from my iPhone with no problem. However, after the initial installation, I have not been able to get any apps to sync from iTunes to the iPod. The apps tab shows the "Sync apps" box checked, but the whole page is grayed out and won't let me select or deselect any apps. Now, it also will not transfer purchases I have made from the iPod back to iTunes. I am running the 3.1.3 version of the iPod software, and all of the apps are iPod and iPhone compatible. All restrictions on the iPod have been disabled. Any suggestions?

    Same problem here. See also

    My iPod software is up to date, as is the mac OS (leopard), and I bought one new app (having checked its specs) and the app sync page in iTunes is grayed out. I tried deleting a couple of free apps -- a suggestion on another thread for a different problem -- no change. I tried deleting this app and re-downloading it.
    I haven't tried buying an app on the iPod to see if it will transfer to iTunes; have only purchased on computer and attempted to sync. Music is fine.
    Ideas, anyone?
    thanks...

  • ITunes wont sync apps from iPhone

  • ITunes wont sync apps

    Everytime I plug my iPhone into my computer, it syncs fine and will update but it won't allow my apps already on my phone to sync to my computer. It always comes up saying "Are you sure you want to delete..". Why is it doing this and what can I do to not lose the apps on my phone?

    Have you always had Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes before you installed any apps direct with your iPhone?
    If not, this is why you are getting the are you sure you want to delete warning message. If you have a single iTunes account - all apps downloaded with iTunes on your computer and direct with your iPhone were downloaded with the same iTunes account and all apps on your iPhone are not in your iTunes library on your computer, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. After the apps on your iPhone that are not in your iTunes library have been transferred, make sure these apps are selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes before the next sync. After doing this and keeping Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences, after you download an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.

  • Please help !!!!!! itunes wont sync apps to my ipod

    my apps cannot be determined ...What does that mean????

    You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
    You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

  • I am trying to sync my iphone 4. Get error :"itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined"

    I wanted to sync my iphone 4 (cdma).  I have synced it before successfully.  I am getting an error "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" and the apps and items follwoing apps in syncing (photos for example) will not sync. Items prior to apps synced (calendar/contacts).  I restarted both my iphone (currently on ios 4.2.8) and my computer, itunes was on 10.6.1, same problem.  I installed itunes 10.6.3, same problem.  I had been waiting to update ios to 5.1.1 and would like to do that now, but wanted to sync first.  Anyone have any ideas?  I am stumped!  Thank you.

  • ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined error message

    I've been getting the "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined" error message for a while. I have tried restoring my iPod but as soon as I try to sync it again (even with nothing changing in iTunes or on the iPod) I get the same error message. Whenever I want to add music to my iPod I have to delete everything and then wait hours for it to restore which is ridiculous. Anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this problem?
    I'm using a 3rd generation iPod touch with 4.2.1 software and iTunes 10.5.3.3

    The fact that there is so many discussions with no clear answer is the problem.
    I went back and looked through all the different suggestions and and tried them all to make sure I didn't miss anything. What finally worked for me was making sure all apps were updated on the iPod and making sure all apps were updates in iTunes (under the Library>Apps tab NOT under devices) and then syncing.

  • The software on iphone has expired + Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined + Can't restore = Help!

    Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
    First message I get when I connect the iphone is
    "The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
    Then it tries to backup but I get
    "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
    When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
    When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
    Tried that MANY times but no luck.
    This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
    I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
    Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
    When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
    I can access my music and everything from itunes.
    I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
    I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
    "The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
    Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
    This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
    Thanks a million times!

    I can't access it on the iphone as I said
    On itunes in summary I have  "Software version: 5.0"
    Yes I tried to restore it
    "When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
    "I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work."

  • ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined

    I have a 3rd generation iPod touch. I just downloaded the IOS 5.0, I seem to have all the features (reader, notification center, newsstand, etc.), but I recently experienced a problem.
    After getting the update and restoring my iPod, iTunes started reinstalling all my music, apps, and videos. It reinstalled all my apps last, and before that, I used iTunes to delete a lot of them and organize them into folders. I then re synced it. Midway through this, I had to leave, but I had heard that I could sync my iPod wirelessly if it was connected to wifi and an outlet, so I checked the little box and tried this. However, I then got the error message "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod '______' because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined". All my songs, videos, and 5,800 photos are on there, but half my apps are fully synced and usable, while the other half shows up with a loading bar at the bottom saying "waiting".
    Yes, I have the "Sync Apps" box ticked.
    Yes, my computer is authorized.
    Yes, I have verified that all the apps are in my iTunes.
    Yes, I tried plugging my iPod back into iTunes and manually syncing it.
    I would simply restore it and resync again, but the majority of my photos aren't on my computer, so if I did that, they would be gone. After I installed the IOS 5.0, and my iPod was restored, it automatically put all my photos back. If someone can tell me whether or not this is something that's automatic whenever you restore your iPod (whether it be manually from iTunes or from an update), that would also be greatly appreciated.
    However, what I'm looking for is simply a way to get my other 80+ apps back in working order without having to restore my iPod or anything too complicated.

    EDIT:
    I tried restarting my iPod... now it just says that the iPod cannot be synced because the required disk cannot be found.
    This update is seriously frustrating. I've heard from a lot of people that the wifi iTunes sync isn't working either.

    when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

    My itunes wont sync my ipod touch, when i click sync it says that it is syncing but it wont sync, im sorry but i just cant exacly explain it

    It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

  • My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

    itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

  • Itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c

    itunes wont sync music to iphone 5c, skips music portion of sync and gets stuck on "waiting for changes to be applied"
    also wont remove cloud downloaded previously purchased songs during sync, i have restored the phone from my old one that was destroyed, but other than that sync pretty much doesnt work at all for photos or anything else.
    plenty of available space on brand new phone
    IOS 7.0.4
    itunes 11.1.3.8

    After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and  I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.
