Need to revert a universal app to iphone in iTunes connect

The question is can we replace a Universal App with and Iphone app in iTunes connect and what are the steps. In this case the iPhone app is the app the Universal app replaced in the first place.
Our client claims you cannot replace a Universal app with an iPhone app but we cannot tell if that is a message they got from trying to do it in the store or hearsay.
Background:
Our client had another developer (actually a few even before that) deliver an IOS universal app that was upgrade from the iPhone app already in the store. It was built starting witht the code base for that original iPhone app in the store.
Unfortunately the developer had serious bugs in the iPhone version of the universal app that were missed by the client.
More unfortunate is that the client replaced the iPhone app in the store with the Uuniversal app without QA and so with the improperly functioning iPhone part.
They since took the universal app out of the store.
We have the source for the original iPhone version and thought we could simply build that and replace the broken universal app.

UPDATE: Ignore this is from 2010 and pre-dates Universal app type.
Although the original poster has not replied back this is a hackish tease for a solution:
Want to downgrade from an Universal app to just an ipad app..
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3277945/want-to-downgrade-from-an-universal-a pp-to-just-an-ipad-app
First make sure you change that setting both for the project and your target, if it is still unchanged just manually edit project.pbxproj in the xcode project bundle changing all occurences of TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY = "1,2" to TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY = "1"
also Minimum OS Requirements is determined by the deployment sdk setting (IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in the aforementioned file) , not affected by LSMinimumSystemVersion

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.

Having a Problem Backing Up Paid For Apps on iPhone to iTunes

Hi, I am having a problem finding out how to back up/sync the Apps I have purchased on my iPhone and have on my iPhone BUT did not purchase in iTunes nor do I have them in iTunes.
Basically, I did not purchase these apps on/in/through iTunes. I got them all while I was on my iPhone. Therefore they are not in iTunes or backed up anywhere else for that matter. And now I want to back them up somehow or "sync" them in iTunes if that is what your suppose to do.
BUT.......
Every time I try to "sync apps" or any other choice in iTunes while my iPhone is synced up it gives me the message that it will be deleting all the paid for apps on my iPhone and replacing them with the apps currently in iTunes (which is zero !) I am smart enough to know NOT to do that and learned my lesson several times with photos, and music how completely stupid and irrational the "syncing" process is with iTunes and the iPhone and how it makes no sense. (as in, why is it not just like a hard drive ? Drag and drop files to and fro your computer and iPhone that you want backed up or on or off your iPhone, etc..) ? What is with this LAME, stupid, completely convoluted "Sync" idea ? I know several people that constantly lose their contacts, photos, music, calendars, etc.. ALL because the iPhone and COmputer does not act like a normal Hard Drive.... I mean, what is Apple thinking ? Get rid of "Sync" man, its unneeded.
ANYWAY, enough of the rant - So I ask --- HOW do you back up your paid for apps if they are currently on your iPhone, but not in iTunes ? I have searched and searched and nothing is available to do so in iTunes.. what gives ? Surely there has to be a way, but of course is worded wrong with a horrible "action name" maybe ? Restore ? IDK, please help.
On a 16GB iPhone 4 (not the new ones), and running iOS 4.3.5. Latest version of iTunes.
Thanks in advance for all help !

LOL, thanks so much roaminggnome ! The one place/thing I did not see/understand I guess.
Done deal ! It worked fine. I am now all 100% backed up.
Thanks again.
modular747, thanks for chiming in and helping. I will keep what you said in mind. Although, this particular time all I was trying to do was back up/sync/transfer the Apps I did purchase on my account. I was not intending on doing that for the Apps that came with the iPhone. I figure those will always be there after every update anyway right ? So no need to back them up.
Anyway, thanks again guys, you both were very helpful..

How do I get Itunes to separate my husbands device from mine? We have seperate accounts but when I want to transfer my apps from iphone to itunes (after logging in) itunes lists transfer device as my husbands

I am getting a new iphone so I need to backup my apps to itune.
Then after purchase I will load them on to iphone5
My husband has a separate iphone separate Itunes/app accounts
I upgraded itunes. Then logged on to my account. But when I start to file/devices to transfer - it lists his account not mine.
Somehow itunes is associating my window log in with him and it lists our apps together (his/mine) under the library section/apps. I think I will end up with his apps and mine then he will end up with the same.
Any ideas how to get the device transfer to list my account?

Best option is to make each a user on the computer then it work as it should otherwise you need to change appleid in itunes between phones being connected

Updating Apps on iPhone via iTunes on a MacBook Pro

I am trying to update the apps on my iPhone via iTunes but the apps are not appearing on the Apps section to update. Could anyone help?

Hello SeamyMoore,
It sounds like you are not seeing your apps that you need to update in iTunes. I recommend reviewing the following article to download the apps from your past purchases. This will download the latest version of the app. Review the section titled "Using iTunes 11 or later" or "Using iTunes 10.7 or earlier:"
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

One App Two iPhones Different iTunes Accounts

I currently have an iPhone 5 and I will be upgrading to an iPhone 6. I'm going give the iPhone 5 to my brother. I purchased a TomTom Navigation App and I want the App to be available on both phones but managed through different iTunes accounts. How should I go about doing this, if possible?
If it isn't possible to do this because the App is linked to my iTunes account, can I, instead, manage my iTunes account on multiple computers? Or is it that one computer can handle multiple devices?
I read the following two forums but they are not exactly the same questions as mine.
One APP to Multiple iPods?
Can you use apps from one computer/iTunes accounts on multiple iPhones?

Suppose I authorize another computer to use my current iPhone 5 and sync apps to that computer. Then I get my iPhone 6 and sync my apps to this new phone. Then I change the apple ID on one of the two computers. Would leave the installed apps on both devices? I don't have the new iPhone yet as I'm waiting to get an unlocked GSM version directly from Apple so I can't try this right away.

NEED HELP! Trying to backup my iPhone to iTunes and transfer to another iPhone with more storage.

About 2 months ago I bought a new iPhone 4 with 8gb of storage. I have since filled it up with Apps and App Data. A friend gave me his old iPhone 4 with 32gb of storage. So, I want to backup my 8gb iPhone to iTunes, have my carrier deactivate it, then activate the 32gb iPhone my friend gave me, move my number to it, and then restore my 8gb backup to the 32gb iphone.
Here's the rub ...
Since I have had my 8gb iPhone, I have never synced it with iTunes. I upgraded the OS to v.6 over the air and downloaded all my apps the same way. I spent a lot of time setting up my preferences and personalization’s directly on the phone itself.
So, now that I want to back it up, when I connect it to iTunes, I get the "Welcome to Your New iPhone" screen with only two choices; one “Set up as new iPhone”, or two “Restore from this backup:” (Which currently reflects my wife’s iPhone 4 backup). ... I want to do neither ...
I just want to plug it in, and then back it up as mentioned earlier, “without” wiping it by setting up as new or restoring my wife’s phone to it.
Is there a way to do this in iTunes?
Thanks for all and any help! T.

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If I recall "set up as new phone" shouldn't change anything on it, it just tells iTunes that you don't want to restore a backup of an older device to it. That said I haven't been there often enough to be absolutely sure.
Sometimes it is a matter of timing... If your question drifts off the first page or two before someone who has a useful suggestion sees it then it can get missed entirely. Yesterday in particular was bad for anyone looking for immediate help but it looks like things are running more smoothly now.

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!!!

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.

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.
