New iTunes 11 - rearranging app is a pain - please improve

The new way to rearrange apps in iTunes 11 is really really painful. It used to be an easier and quicker way to easily move apps around and rearrange pages and folders. Now it is really a mess - very slow and just painful. Please Apple - this is not good enough. It is a mess to look at and very hard to use. Have you (the programmers / designers) tried to use it yourselves?
Please - please - make it better or like the old setup.
kind regards,

Wouldn't use that...

When I sync my ipod with the new itunes, will my apps on my ipod disappear?

The original itunes I was using is no longer available because the computer it was on is now broken so I ended up creating a new itunes on the laptop but I haven't updated my ipod because I was afraid that all my apps on my ipod would disappear..if I had free apps I would be fine but I have some apps that I paid for so I don't want to update just yet. So when I sync my ipod with the new itunes, will my apps on my ipod disappear?

oohitsnicolee,
I just want to summarise a little here so that other can be sure what is expected when comes to this issue....
1. To transfer your purchases from iPod, iPad or iPhone, 1st U have to connect your iPod for this instance to your PC. Once connected, you should see your iPod name appeared on the left column in iTune. Do a right click on your iPod to Transfer your purchase to this NEW iTune. Since is a new iTune, all your Apps from your iPod will be transfer to here...
2. Once transfer is completed, you should see all Apps in iTune now. Before you syn, you may choose what you want to syn to your iPod by checking the box next to the Apps. So eventually those that are not check will remain in your iTune together with those you have syn. Since they are purchased Apps ( Free/Paid ) it will remain in your account unless you choose to delete them via iTune.

New iTunes for managing apps

Dislaimer: I am NOT an experience iTunes user!
Question: How do I see my devices in a way I can manage the apps on them in the new iTunes?
Background:
I updated my iTunes yesterday to 11.01.12, the "new, even better" one.
I understand it makes my music experience that much better...but I don't really have any music.
About the only thing I want to do with iTunes is see what apps I have, re-arrange them (from one screen to another on my actual device), etc.
The main reason for this is that I'm trying to migrate from my iPod Touch 4 to iPhone 5, and for some reason, when I did the back-up, it only moved over native apps, not anything I'd downloaded. So I can drag and drop them from the apps screen when I can see my devices.
But there's the rub. When I first plug in my devices (to my computer), I can see them. But as the new iTunes doesn't seem at all user-friendly to me, I can't figure out how to see the devices (and it won't show them unless I unlock them first with my PW..a problem I never had before! The first image below is what I see when I first plug them in (no idea why it only recognised one device this time, they both just got plugged in). If I click on the iPod button, sometimes it will take me to a screen where I can actually see what's on my iPod, but sometimes it just goes straight back to the list of Apps -- and I can no longer see how to get back to my device -- see in the second image, the button is gone!
Is there a way to go back to an older version of iTunes?
Or another place I can go in iTunes to see my devices when I want, without having to have them re-sync all the time?
Thanks!

Ctrl B to show the top menu
View > Show Sidebar
View > Show Status Bar
Click on black arrow in Search box and untick Search Entire Library
Should look and work like iTunes 10
Your devices will show up in the left hand panel

Will re-syncing iPhone to a new iTunes installation delete app data?

As per topic above. Recently reformatted my computer before I was able to do any backups (Just couldn't get into Windows).
Now I have re-installed everything and have synced my iPhone with a new iTunes library, but I have not synced my apps as I am scared that whatever data on the apps on my iPhone will be deleted.
Will this happen?

Basically wjosten's advice worked for me. I had wiped my MBP and installed Snow Leopard but forgot to make a backup of my itunes library. My main concern was the app data. I followed the instructions but chickened out at step 8 when iTunes warned me that it would erase the phone and ..." so I cancelled to just make sure I had everything right but it went ahead and made some weird sync anyway which left about 20% of my apps on the phone. So I restored from that backup I made at Step 6 and this time said ok to the sync at step 8.
But then I checked the sync apps checkbox but either didn't realise or something happened that meant all the apps were unchecked. Next thing I see is "removing {app name}" which started freaking me out. I'm not sure what to do from this point so I started checking all the apps and pressed apply. However, it may work better if you cancel the sync but even better would be to have all apps checked in the first place. In the end end though I didn't loose any data - even on the apps that I saw getting removed just moments earlier. WOOHOO!!
One side effect of this is that the apps are not in the same screen order as before... but that is either my fault or a very very small price to pay
So this method works but you have to have the guts to click ok
Also, be careful of your voice memos - I'm not sure if the instructions here cover those but they are not paid content so I would make sure you use something like http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/ to back them up.

How can I update the apps. with the new iTune, that's really silly especially I have two iTune account for different countries

I used 2 iPhones and a iPad, 2 Apple ID for different countries so that I can download apps. from different country. Its a pain and sometimes no possible to update the apps. on the ISO devices. Apple really needs to fix this aspect. Also the new iTunes is so difficult to use, please bring back the old one.

When Itunes opens
1) Click on drop dow list button top left under the player controls
2) Select Apps
3) At the bottom right there are two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps
An Alternative is when iTunes opens in the top menu Click on View, Show Sidebar. Then you will see your apps page as in itunes 10. Click on that option and as before you should have two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps.
NB this is all within Itunes NOT the iTunes Store

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Syncing to new iTunes library without losing app folder organization?

I reinstalled the OS on my PC and after installing iTunes and pointing it at the iTunes folder on my second drive, it nevertheless lost my iTunes library. I was able to re-add all my content by adding the My Music folder to iTunes, but I lost my playlists. I was okay with recreating those, but...
When I chose to sync apps, iTunes said it would replace the apps on the phone with the ones from the libray. And all my folder organization work will be lost.
Is there any way to associate my iPhone 4 with the "new" library but maintain the folder organization I have?

A manual backup will help. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. This will save all settings, data, photos and much more to your computer. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer our purchases the same way, choosing transfer purchases this time. All apps and purchased media fro the Store will be copied to the new iTunes library.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your PC to be able to merge calendars and contacts after the first sync, which will wipe your phone. But you can restore from the manual backup you made before.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

Itunes will not open on computer says it has stopped working and it must be closed. My computer tells me its an incompatible app. Is there a problem with the new itunes or is it my computer?

I have recently downloaded the new itunes. My computer will open itunes but then a screen pops up that says Itunes has stopped working and must close. This happens every time and i can not by pass it. I am afraid all my music is gone as well. I found on my computer that its an incompatible app. What does that mean exactly? Was itunes installed incorrectly? I have had itunes on my computer before and worked just fine and had no problems. Is it possibly a computer issue or Itunes? Need help thanks

Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

How can I sync my ipad apps to a new itunes?

I recent had to wipe my computer and reinstall itunes. When I connect my ipad to my laptop is asks if I wants to sync with this new itunes library and that all my data will be lost.
Is there anyway to transfer my apps to my existing itunes?

I did but the iTunes library file was corrupted. Is there another file?

Can I move an IPad to a new iTunes account without losing the apps?

I currently have two devices on my itunes account, and would like to move one the devices to a new itunes account (not mine). Is it possible to do this without losing all of the apps that have been acquired on that device?

You can only have one library per user account on a PC/Mac.
So, if you need to create a new library, then create a new user, and transfer the content you want over to that new user. Then sync.
Can you clarify a little more what you're needing?
