New apps indicated in iTunes on mac - what does this mean?
I am using iTunes 10.7 on a Mac running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion and sync with my iPad 3 running iOS 6.0.1.
I have 770 apps of which about 500 are ON THE iPAD and another 270 are in the purchased but not on iPad section on the cloud I guess.
All apps are up-to-date.
BUT when I go to to iTunes on my Mac, when I look in the sidebar I see next to Apps a gray oval with the number 107 in it. Now I have a similar gray oval (there is a special name for this "gray oval"…) for other things, like Podcasts or TV Shows. I know the number in those gray ovals means "Unwatched" and it is correct-- any Podcasts which I have downloaded or TV Shows which I have that I HAVE NOT WATCHED are so indicated.
BUT what does the number mean for APPS?? Someone told me it may mean "APPS THAT NEED UPDATES" - but ALL my Apps on my iPad 3are up-to-date and this syncs regularly with my iPad---
So what in the world is this number 107 indicating and how to get rid of it or what action to take to respond to it?
Thanks for any comments.
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

Thanks for the feedback! From your reply I think I may understand this better: I have downloaded 700+ apps and deleted over 200 of them. I show 116 in my iTunes that "have an update available" - but I believe these are all apps that I deleted, so they have NOT been updated on my iPad as they are no longer on the iPad. (But iTunes keeps essentially all versions on my Mac it seems).
OK why not just hit "update" for the 116 apps? Because I have 2 that I downgraded intentionally - and don't want to take the chance that ZITE 1.3.3 or Bloomberg version 1.x are replaced by the (in my opinion) poor upgrades.
I will try to reinstall a few of the "deleted" apps, then see if they have upgrades. If so I will do that and then see if this syncs to iTunes and thereby reduces the number of upgrades-- well indeed I'll look for the specific apps I have re-installed and upgraded! Then I'll report back here.
Thanks again,
Steve--

When trying to install a new app on my iPhone 4S, i received a message: "This is not a Test User account. Please create a new account in the Sandbox environment". What does this mean? I cannot update or download any app. Thanks
Common on jailbroken iPhones, not so on non-jailbroken iPhones. Thus, if your phone is not jailbroken, restoring from backup will hopefully fix the issue.

I just received my iPad2 today. When I turned it on it only showed a USB cable and the iTunes icon. What does this mean?
The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer running iTunes (version 10.2 +).

when I try to upload the latest version of iTunes, it tells me to enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi. What does this mean as I can't seem to find any such folder and now I cannot uninstall Itunes either
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Just updated my apple tv so I can use itunes radio. A screen appears with a picture of an apple tv plugged into an iTunes symbol. What does this mean? My apple tv is totally inoperable until I do what? HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
It means the update failed for some reason and it wants you to plug a micro USB cable into the service port of your Apple TV, then connect it to your computer and open iTunes. From there iTunes will restore your Apple TV to working condition. It's the only way to get it back when something like this happens.
For future reference I find that rebooting (restrating) my Apple TV just before updating assures a quick and error free update. -

When you recieve an email from apple saying "welcome to your new mac" what does this mean
hey people
i recieved an email saying "welcome to your new mac"
i have already got a imac and was wondering if this means someone has purchesed another mac?
thanksDid the email ask that you click on a link or provide additional information about yourself? If so it's a phishing scam. Delete the message and ignore it.
If you did buy a new computer sometime recently, then it's just a welcome email, nothing more. -
Itunes error message-what does this mean????
My eMac stopped working so I had to do an archive and reinstall. I did all the software updates and tried to play my purchased music in itunes. It said I had to authorize my computer and enter my password. I did and it gave me this error- "Could not complete your itunes store request. A required itunes component is not installed. (-42404). I checked and I have the latest version of itunes. I even tried to re-create my itunes library and that didn't help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or am I out of luck?Remove iTunes and reinstall iTunes.

After I get the abovemention error message, the only option I have is to click "OK". Doing that gives me a white blank screen with the only option to "Cancel". Clicking on that brings up an Update screen to update an app I never downloaded. What's going on? How do I get rid of this?
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

ITunes error! What does this mean and how to stop!
The iTunes Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file - that is the actual message
Try going to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, clicking "Macintosh HD" and clicking "Repair Disk Permissions"
Good luck! -

I'm a first time Mac user and I went to play my music on Itunes out loud and all the music I previously purchased will not play and then a pop up appears saying my computer is not authorized? what does this mean and how can I fix it?
You need to authorize the new computer that youre working with. First hover over the store button at the top of the screen and then select the authorize this computer button then a popup will appear where you have to put in your Apple ID and Password. Hopefully this works for you
