My iphone keeps downloading a ton of apps that i used to have on my i pod touch when i plug my iphone into the computer

ddddd

I have a similar problem. I recieved an IPAD for my birthday, and my daughter updated my itunes library so i can use it with the ipad...and somehow all my songs (unpurchased from itunes, and downloaded from a large collection of CDs) ...and play lists were deleted. I still have them on my old ipod, and wonder how to get them back onto my computer so I can redistribute some of them to the ipad. I must be getting too old for this tech stuff, it gets less user friendly every year.

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

Copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to your new one.

I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.

My iphone went black and wont turn on and when i plug it up into the computer it just keeps vibrating. What should I do? PLEASE HELP ME!

My iPhone 5c has suddenly turned off and went blank. I then tried to plug it up to the computer to restore it but i cant because my phone has a password on it and i CANT TYPE IT IN. Also when i plugged it up it started vibrating again and again constantly. What should i do?

It is probably still worth while taking it to an Apple store for a possible OOW replacement and let them make the decision, as it was broken before the OP took the back off.
See note below...

When i plug my phone into the mac it shows me my screen and the apps on it, how can i keep these apps on my computer?

when i plug my phone into the mac i can see all of my mobile apps on an immitation of my iphone screen, how can i keep these apps in my itunes libraby on my mac as only a few are showing?

Ensure that you computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase the apps i(n iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

I've tried to download an app that I used to have but deleted. I get the message "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional charge." BUT it won't download.

Are you certain you have enough memory left on your device to accommodate the app? Also, are you certain that an iOS 8-compatible version has been released by the developer? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then try downloading it via an iTunes sync.

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time I lost all of my music and my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them back?

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.

Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

HT1923 I have a family of 7...5 of us all have either an Apple Ipod or Iphone and all of us have trouble plugging our devices into the computer n connecting to itunes!...What can we do to fix this????!!!!!!!!

I have a family of seven. Five of us all have Apple Ipods or Iphones. Everytime there is a new update for itunes or any of us try to plug our devices into the computer to hook up to itunes we all have problems or it won't let us!...It's getting to the point that we don't want to continue spending hundreds of dollars on Apple products that keep giving us problems. How can this problem be fixed???!!!

What is the problem? We cant help if you dont tell us what the problem is.
Do you get an error message? Do you plug the devices in and nothing happens? Is content not syncing?
Can you elaborate more please?

When I plug my phone into my computer it dosnt show up anymore. I want to download my pictures onto my computer, in windows

Hello arndozer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you connect your iPhone to your computer, an iPhone icon should appear in iTunes in the left column under Devices. But if it doesn't, this troubleshooting assistant can help.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Best of luck,

I signed up for iCloud and downloaded everything for it. According to my iTunes account, everything should be swell, but when I try to sign into the Cloud, it tells me my Apple ID is valid but it's not an iCloud account. What do I do??

Hi DesCoop,
You must initiallly activate iCloud from an IOS device or a Mac. You cannot inititally activated from a PC.
Sorry.

HT203175 I plugged my iPod into the computer and it says that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library, but it's not. So all my music and apps are gone. What can I do to remind the computer its the right iTunes library and get all my stuff back?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

ITunes was fine until I plugged in the iPhone into the computer

Now, it freezes up, and never does detect the iPhone. All apple usb cables look alike, but they also fall apart rather easily....so we're left with one between an iPod touch, an iPod classic, and an iPhone. I'm not sure if that is the compatibility issue or not.
The only key difference I can determine is that the computer I'm currently trying to jack into is Windows 7 based.
When I plug the iPhone into the computer, I don't get a real error msg attached to any kind of code, just a general "iTunes has stopped responding" in a little popup window giving me 2 choices: close the program, or search for a solution online and then close the program.
When I choose the latter, there is a search bar for ~5s and then iTunes closes. No solution presents itself.
This happens if iTunes is already running. This also happens if I let the act of plugging in the iPhone initiate the opening of iTunes.
Any ideas? Last check desktop iTunes was fully updated.
When I unplug the iPhone, iTunes functions normally.

I believe there is a problem with iTunes in the 64-bit version of 7. My husband initially installed the 64-bit version and then switched to the 32-bit because quite a few of the software packages he uses for work are not 64-bit compatible yet.
In 32-bit iTunes, he's had no problem syncing.

HT1567 When I plug my ipod into my computer I no longer am able to go to itunes and my ipod will not play the songs i recently downloaded. My ipod has a white screen. At one point i got a message that it was corupted.

when i plug my ipod into my computer it no longer takes me to itunes. my ipod screen is a white blank and i can no longer listen to tunes i have downloaded.
at one point i received a message that said it was corruped.

My ipod has a white screen.
This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen. What iPod model do you have?
When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
At one point i got a message that it was corupted.
Where and when did this message appear?

Ever since i plugged my iphone into the computer, all of my music has been messed up. The songs don't have the right album cover i guess they all just got mixed up somehow. i dont know but its annoying and im not sure how to fix it.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
