My "Choose Application" list of apps is replaced with iTunes list

I have a problem with something being corrupted in the "Choose Applications" dialog. Instead of a list of apps, there is a dropdown menu called "iTunes" and there is a list of songs where the application list should be. Has anyone seen this error, and is there a database file that I can check for corruption or replacement?
Thank you.

You should be able to change iTunes to whatever application that you want.
The next time you get the "Choose Application" dialogue, select the application in the list of application on your computer.
If that does not work, please post a screen shot of the window in question.

What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word "installed" next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes list of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?

What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word “installed” next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes lists of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display? Both devices have iOS8.0.2 installed. Both are having problems downloading some books that had been purchased previously for other devices. And, before installing iOS8, the full list of had been downloaded to the iPad mini with iOS7.
Finding out what the greyed outness means may help me figure out how to get all my books loaded on both devices. Any suggestions how to do that also would be appreciated.

Thank you. Your explanation of why the word "installed" is greyed out makes sense. But that raises the further question of why then is it shown at all. There are other apps on both devices that can not be removed,and they are just not shown. This is the only app that has the greyed out "install" notation. All of the other apps shown are either identified by "remove" meaning it is installed and can be removed; "install" meaning it is not installed but can be; or "update" meaning it has been replaced by a more current version which can be installed.
All of the books that I want to install have been on an iPhone4 that was replaced by the iPhone6, and were on the iPad Mini with iOS7 before iOS8 was installed. Installation of iOS8 on the iPad removed all of the books and only a few of them were later added by syncing with iTunes. Since most of the books I am interested in are free or of small cost, I would be happy to delete all of them from iTunes and then reinstall the ones I want directly on the devices. But I have not been able to delete them and when I try to install them on a device I am told that they already have been downloaded. Very frustrating.

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I agree. I liked the previous map app. The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think. No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin. Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had. Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

Am I doing something wrong ?

my question is
how long to charge the iPhone battery when it is new?
Some say it is 6 or more hours
thanks for the help
As I said, you won't hurt a lithium-ion battery by not fully charging it prior to use. These batteries don't have a "memory" like older nickel cadmium batteries do so it doesn't compromise it's ability to fully charge by using it with only a partial charge. You also can't overcharge it; your charger will go into "trickle" charge mode once it reaches about 95% charge and remain that way. If you want to wait to use it, charge it overnight. If you don't, just charge it for a couple of hours, the fully charge it once you don't need to use it for a while.

Dialogue "Choose Application" After Launching App.

Hi
For a long long time I've had a problem where with some applications upon launching them I get a dialogue which says "Choose Application" in the title bar and then below that it says "Where is [Name of App]?". This dialogue box has the window for navigating the Finder (like an Open dialogue) and there is a button on bottom right with the word "Choose" on it. I have had a solution which is to find the application and then "choose" and that solves the problem it seems for that particular application.
However there is one application which presents this problem and I cannot solve it by that method. The application is 1Password, in particular the plugin on the web browser which, when invoked, will bring up this dialogue. I have taken this up with 1Password and they have recommended I reinstall my browser plugin, which I had already done. However I don't think the problem is with 1Password, it is something odd about my OS. Amazingly the same problem is on my MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro.
I used the Onyx utility to rebuild Launch Services thinking that might help, but it has made no difference.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to a solution.
I have Mavericks OS 10.9.5 on both computers.
Thank you.

Susan,
We need to know exactly how much RAM you have and exactly what you have your monitor resolution set to.
If you have less than 2GB of RAM, forget it; I know the ReadMe file says you need a minimum of 512 MB, but that's unrealistic. It's enough for Photoshop CS3 to launch, but not to work comfortably and consistently. The monitor resolution should be at least 1024x768.
20 GB of available disk space in practice is marginal for the Mac OS X swap files (especially in case of one of the Leopards) to share with Photoshop's Scratch Disk. I'm not surprised you're crashing. Just for reference, I have a separate, dedicated internal 160 GB hard drive just for Photoshop's Scratch Disk alone.
Also, any time a hard drive—any hard drive—approaches 80% used space, you're in deep trouble already.
With a bigger boot drive or making much more space available in your current one, an external hard drive as Photoshop scratch disk, maximizing your RAM to as much as the machine will take (if it takes at least 2GB) and downgrading to Tiger 10.4.11, your G4 PowerBook should run CS3 just fine.
If CS4 ran on Panther, I would even downgrade to it from Tiger; I have no use for Spotblight and the Dashboard anyway and have permanently disabled both. In the case of Leopard, If I were ever to run it, I would disable the massively intrusive Time Machine and Spaces as well.
That's my personal opinion based on equally personal experience.
Good luck.

Why do all of my icons on my desktop get replaced with itunes icons?

Seriously, this is annoying. every time i install itunes, every single program/shortcut on my desktop and start menu is replaced with an itunes icon. please help me?

Hi Guido,
I did the following steps more than 3 times, always getting the same result:
Import a picture of my libary (import resolution set to 4MP)
duplicate the picture layer, and set the top one to invisible
extracting a part of the lower picture using the lasso tool and the refine edge tool
setting the extracted part as a new layer above the old one
(editing contrast or bluring the lower layer, I was not always getting as far, sometimes it already deleted the layers one step above)
The tool selected when the issue occurred was nearly always either the boxed selection or the lasso selection tool. I had 3-5 layers at the moment it occurred. One of them set to invisible the others to full opacity.
Also I noticed, that when selecting or extracting the part of a picture, it takes far longer to load and the application sometimes gets unresponsive during that time (after this, sometimes also the layers disappeared).
Thanks for the quick answer!

App Install error with iTunes 7.7 (Facebook and MySpace Apps)

Whenever I try to sync either the Facebook or MySpace apps from the App Store, I receive the following error:
The application "Facebook" was not installed on the iPhone "Ray's iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000013).
and
The application "MySpace" was not installed on the iPhone "Ray's iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000013).
I've tried deleting and redownloading the apps multiple times. Anyone else had this problem or gotten around it?
Thanks - Ray

I downloaded a few free apps also and it didn't take. When I tried downloading it again it said that it's already downloaded and I have to sync the phone up with iTunes and click Store -> Check for purchases.
Well I did that, but the Store is still down so it didn't sync it with the phone. I'll keep trying.

Restoring new iPhone 4S from iCloud backup has created an app sync nightmare with iTunes

I've restored my new iPhone 4S from iCloud and plugged it into my computer to sync over the apps so they wouldnt have to redownload via iCloud. Hit the initial ok dialogue button, which had an auto-sync apps option checkmarked under it (this was the only dialogue option and only checkmark). Now iTunes wants to reload all apps and erase app data.
The phone is peforming as expected, downloading the apps one-by-one from iCloud, however, I won't be able to sync the phone, as leaving apps sync checked will rewrite all apps (erasing app data and adding apps I don't want on my phone), and unchecking apps sync will delete all apps from the phone. I've tried removing the ~/Library/iTunes/ folder, hoping it would force iTunes to re-initialize the sync config. This didn't help at all.
Any suggestions? I really don't want to re-restore from iCloud, but thinking I'm gonna have to and hope that not checking the auto-sync apps (when the phone is plugged in for the first time) will fix the issue. It's rather mindnumbing that there doesn't appear to be a less painful option for the simple task of setting up a new device from an old device iCloud backup. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this is hard to follow.
Larry

Ok, so this is pretty infuriating. I've gone ahead and restored from iCloud again. This time when I plugged my phone into iTunes for the first time, I unchecked the option to automatically sync apps. As expected, the Apps are not set to sync now, however, the computer does not display the apps loading on the phone, so if I did go ahead and turn on App sync, I would end up losing all app data. It appears that I will have to let all apps redownload from iCloud before I can do anything regarding syncing with iTunes. I can't believe this is the only option. I suppose I could turn off iCloud backup on my iPhone 4, allow it to create a local backup, then local restore onto iPhone 4S, then turn on iCloud backup. That seems a little too band-aidish to me, though.

Edit: Yes, I have 10.7.2 and all available system updates as of today (10/14/11).

Trying to sync my ipod to my iMac but it tells me that everything on ipod will be replaced with itunes on the mac

Trying to sync my ipod with my iMac in itunes but its telling me that everyhting from my ipod will be replaced with my itunes library. Hoe do I get the stuff on my ipod to my itunes?

Syncing is one way only computer iTunes -> Apple devices (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad) except content bought from the iTunes Store.
You need a 3rd party tool to transfer music from iPod to Mac (Google for options)

In-App Purchase, downloadable with iTunes?

I downloaded GPS Navigation 2 - skobbler and made an in-app purchase (all maps of the world). But the files are several GB big and I don't have a wireless connection, so I'd have to download it through the cellular connection?! Can I download those files (in-app purchases) with iTunes? Downloading them through 3G connection will take forever and cost me a fortune...

Is there a web version of the list of apps featured in the iTunes App Store?

I like seeing the apps that Apple features in their App Store, like their Collections, or Best of 2013, or their category lists (like "Get in Shape" for the Health category). However, I think the store is a little clunky and I just want to quickly browse latest apps.Is there a web-based version of these lists or are they listed on Apple's website anywhere?

The only Apple sites that I know of are less useful than using iTunes itself (or Mac App Store if you are referring to Mac Apps), they only list apps alphabetically or by popularity :
iTunes : https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8
Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/mac/id39?mt=1

Changing list of apps for Open With

When I select Open With on a .jpg file, there are over 30 applications listed which is really annoying. I can't work out how to edit this list so that only the ones I want to appear do so without having to uninstall any software - it must be stored in the preferences or something but I just can't seem to work it out.
Any help appreciated.
PK

Short of opening up the individual applications and changing a file therein (which I have done, but don't recommend) you cannot change the list. When you start your computer the system goes through the applications you have and queries them, by reading their Info.plist file, about the sorts files the application claims it can open. The system then includes the application in the launch services list for applications that handle those sorts of files. I'm afraid about half the applications in the universe are capable of opening a jpeg, and most say so. So they get listed in Open With, and, if you have a backup drive that includes copies of your applications, those will appear on the list too. I heard that the system isn't supposed to be that thorough, but I've had it list an old, forgotten, application that was buried 6 folders deep, none of the folders being an application folder, on a backup drive...

Install apps: direct or with itunes?

Hi,
I am trying to determine if it is better to install applications directly on the iphone via WiFi, or to install via itunes. Is one way better - or safer - than the other?
For example, I am traveling and was thinking of installing Truphone on my iphone, but am away from my computer. Should I install an app on my iphone directly, and then sync when I return? And when I sync when I return, will the app transfer?
I read that there have been app update problems if you install directly on the phone...
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

I often transfer via the Mac and then install to the G3. The App will not install to my phone until I click the check box with Applications and perform sync. Rest assured the app won’t get deleted in this manner and besides; you can always reload the App from he App Store. Just choose to purchase, and the Store remembers that you already purchased it, and will notify you as such and then down it comes. I also download over EDGE and it loads just fine in most cases so its pretty much a wash, either way.
Regards,
~DD

Remote app on iphone with Itunes library / Erratic connection problems.

I have been using Remote app on my Iphone to manage Itunes for months with 100% pleasure and 0 trouble.
For a few days, it has some erratic behaviour like having difficulties to connect to my Itunes library.
In such case if I touch the Change Library button on Iphone remote screen, it connects quite instantly...
I have a simple wifi network generated by my adsl box and a single computer.
The remote setting option "stay connected" on Iphone is On.
Generally when I get connected if I quit remote on Iphone and restart it within a minut it will find the library in a jiffy most of times ... but sometimes not.
I disabled firewall : no change.
I scratched all remotes in Itunes and paired the Iphone again : no change.
Does anyone with some idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Jean.

Almost the same issue here. And this only started yesterday.
Initially iTunes would not pair at all, but I went into add/remove programs (Win 7 PC) and ran a repair on Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, and iTunes. I did not remove or reinstall any of these applications.
After this my iPhone remote app would be found by iTunes, the passcode accepted, plus the library showed up. I thought I'd cracked it...
But after a few minutes - usually when the screensaver kicks in on my PC - my iPhone loses connection to my library and WILL NOT reconnect unless I restart iTunes.
I have to say that over the years the remote App is without doubt THE most buggy, inconsistent and erratic piece of software I have ever used. If there was a decent alternative I'd have ditched it a long time ago.
Looking forward to a solution from one of the experts here (not expecting Apple themselves to even respond!).
