Lost apps from iPhone and iTunes on sync

I lost all my apps from iTunes after a normal sync. How can I restore them? I tried deauthorizing and authorizing again but it didn't work. Does anyone know what to do?

Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

Hi,
I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
But the folder are not synced.
If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Apps in iPhone and iTunes can not get updated.

Apps store show 10 updates. But there is nothing can be seen in the update. Check the updates fails every time both in iPhone and iTunes .

Apps store show 10 updates.
Which App Store?
The AppStore for MacOS X apps
or the iTunes Store AppStore?
The updates you are seeing in the MacOS X AppStore would be unrelated to the IOS updates.
So where are you seeing updates?

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.

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes and back

I've transferred my apps from the iPhone to iTunes by clicking on "Transfer Purchases" That's all good so now they both have the same apps.
I've installed the latest ver of iTunes so ultimately it allows us to re-arrange the pages of apps on the iPhone through iTunes.
When the checkbox "Sync Applications" is unchecked I can see my apps as arranged on the iPhone, when I check it everything is different. That's not what I want as it tells me my settings will be copied from iTunes to iPhone.
What I want is for it to recognise my latest apps setup on my iPhone and THEN allow me to re-arrange it from iTunes before syncing.
How can I do this?
Extra info: This is for my MBP, I've synced it with my PC and I think that has the latest settings I'm not too sure.

As already mentioned, you can only sync to one computer at a time. To be able to go back to your computer, disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose Backup. Transfer your purchases the same way after that. Then sync your phone. All media content will be erased during this process, but you can restore your phone from the manual backup you made before.

Syncing apps FROM iPhone TO ITunes and retaining app folder structure

How can you retain the app folder structure you have painstakingly created on your iPhone (OS4.3) when syncing apps with iTunes?
It seems that it only works the other way - i.e. creating the structure in iTunes and having that copied to the iPhone when syncing apps.
I know this has been posted in various ways before, but there seems to be no answer, and Apple appear either not to understand the question, or its importance to so many users.
Anyone found a way of doing this yet - or Apple - please can we have this fixed?

Thanks Mr. Gnome I was aware of that - it was a rhetorical question as far as Apple are concerned, but I do hope someone out there may have found a way around this illogical glitch.
By the way, I think you meant your link to be...

Syncing apps FROM IPHONE TO ITUNES!!!

The Iphone allows you to download apps onto the phone __from the phone__ but I can't find how to sync those apps I bought via the phone with apps in my Itunes library...???!~!!! It appears as though I will loose those apps if I upgrade my software version.

And after transferring purchases from your iPhone and confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. Select Apply.
Now after downloading an app direct with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.

ALL apps deleted from iPhone and iTunes after newest iTunes download

ALL of my boyfriend's apps were deleted from his iPhone 3G AND iTunes after he downloaded the newest version of iTunes onto his PC. Does anyone know why this happened? Can he get all of those apps back somehow?
Thanks!

The only way all iTunes content on his iPhone can be removed is if he synced his iPhone with iTunes after the current iTunes version was installed and his iTunes library on his computer is now empty. A warning message should have been provided indicating this would happen if he proceeded with the sync.
His iTunes library on his computer is now completely empty - no music or anything else?
Nothing available in the iTunes named folder located in his Music folder?

Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
Now this doesnt work.
The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
This doesnt work either.
I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
Im running:
Macbook Air 2012
OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

Sync Apps between iPhone and ITunes before install of IOS6?

I use an IPhone 4. I always purchase my apps directly from the IPhone, and never from my computer.
The consequence is that there is no sync whatsoever between the actual screens/folders/apps on the IPhone and what is displayed on ITunes, in the TAB "apps".
Last year, when I installed IOS 5, I killed all my apps on the IPhone, and it took weeks to re-install my apps and the folders.
I am not prepared to suffer this exercise again, and I am even considering to skip the install of IOS 6 to avoid this pain.
How can I mirror the content of my IPhone such that the apps and the folders content/position actually present in the phone are memorized in Itunes?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Patrick

I figured out to click on the "transfer purchases" to get my apps synced.
Now I have a new question. How do I delete apps from the list that I do NOT want to install?
Thanks.

I cannot sync apps from Iphone to Itunes. Itunes says apps cannot be determined.

I have tried syncing my apps many times already and this first time Itunes says that apps cannot be determined. Has anybody else gotten this error messege on Itunes? If so how did you solve the problem withouth having to restore the iphone to factory setting?

See these previous discusssions:
iTunes cannot sync... apps not determined installed on...: Apple Support Communities

HT1414 updating app between iphone and itunes

I have an app on my iphone and it says to update using itunes, I updated on itunes and its not updated on my iphone. how can I update my app on my phone?

You didn't mentioned that you synced your phone with iTunes, just that you "updated on iTunes" (which I took to mean that you had updated the app in iTunes, not that you had synced your phone). At any rate, verify that you have checked that app in question as well as checking "Sync Apps" on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings, then sync your phone. If it still doesn't transfer, try unchecking that app followed by syncing (which should delete the app from your phone), then check the app again and sync again (which should transfer the updated app back to your phone).

Transfer apps from iPhone to iTunes not working

I have tried this on iTunes 8.0.1, 8.0.2 and 2.1, 2.2 firmware without success. For a good while now, I installed apps directly onto to my iPhone and never bothered to sync up regularly. As a result, I have over 20 apps on my phone that are not on iTunes. Last week when I finally sycn with iTunes, it usually hung on copying the first app for a long time and if I leave it on long enough, it shows that all the apps are copied. Yet when I check iTunes apps, they don't show up. I have tried this many times without any success. Does anyone know a remedy for this?

In iTunes, go into the AppStore (not on the phone, but computer) and just redownload them. If you paid for them once already, it will NOT recharge you.
Of course use the same account you used on the phone.
