No deauthorise button available in iTunes account to sync apps between phone and iTunes

Message reads: "One computer is authorised to play content purchased with this Apple ID"  However there is no button to deauthorise one or all computers.  As a result i cannot sync apps back to iTunes from iPhone. If i do sync it will wipe all existing apps from the phone as the new version of itunes will not allow me to sync more than 5 computers.  I have only ever had iTunes on one laptop previously so i don't know why i am receiving this.  Is there a possible solution anyone can please recommend?

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so.  Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book.  iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars.  Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

  • Sync Apps between iPhone and ITunes before install of IOS6?

    I use an IPhone 4. I always purchase my apps directly from the IPhone, and never from my computer.
    The consequence is that there is no sync whatsoever between the actual screens/folders/apps on the IPhone and what is displayed on ITunes, in the TAB "apps".
    Last year, when I installed IOS 5, I killed all my apps on the IPhone, and it took weeks to re-install my apps and the folders.
    I am not prepared to suffer this exercise again, and I am even considering to skip the install of IOS 6 to avoid this pain.
    How can I mirror the content of my IPhone such that the apps and the folders content/position actually present in the phone are memorized in  Itunes?
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Patrick

    I figured out to click on the "transfer purchases" to get my apps synced.
    Now I have a new question.  How do I delete apps from the list that I do NOT want to install? 
    Thanks. 

  • ITunes 11 cannot sync iCal between phone and macbook?

    Is no one else having this issue? It seems that with iTunes 11 they have taken away the option to sync your calendar events through iTunes and now you can only do it through iCloud. Well if you're running OS 10.6 you don't have iCloud. Is there anyway around this? I uninstalled iTunes 11 and installed 10.6.3 but then it wouldn't open because my iTunes library was created by a new version. So I just gave up and went back to iTunes 11. I have a lot of events on my macbook's iCal that would take forever for me to transfer manually, especially since iOS 6 still doesn't even allow you to copy and paste events. I'm beyond frustrated. Does anyone have an easy solution to this? I've tried GMail but all of the tutorials were confusing, and when I tried to set up my GMail account in iCal on my Macbook pro and it kept giving me errors and saying it couldn't communicate with the server or something. I believe all of this is a huge oversight by Apple and it's alienating a lof of users.

    I have the same problem. This is very recent, and seems to be because I upgraded the OS in both cases. Before I did that, everything was fine. So, now, any event that I input on the Iphone 3GS fails to show up on the Macbook Air. Not only that, when I tried the override button in Itunes, as my calendar entries in the computer were now newly made, it would not synch it on my phone.
    The final straw is that any calendar invite I get, refuses to be assigned on my calendar...
    Took it to the Apple Support folks here, and after 3-4 hours, all they did was what I told them I had already done - to do a full restore...  nothing happens. In fact, whenever I do this, I get an additional repitition of calendar entries from the older events... so, I have 6 anniversaries of my own now, and 3 birthday renditions of my friends - on the same date... !

  • ITunes not syncing properly between machines and devices

    My setup used to work just fine before the updates to syncing, now it is just a big mess.
    Before:
    iTunes install on my Mac tied to my iPad used primarily for video content and video podcasts.
    iTunes install on my Windows machine tied to iPod/iPhone used primarly for audio content and audio podcasts.
    Each one was in it's own little world and everything just worked.
    Now:
    Both iTunes installs are getting the full list of podcasts from each other and their devices, so my audio podcasts are now showing up on the Mac and video podcasts are showin up in Windows.  I don't really care that is happening, but the watched/played status is not updating properly across the board.  For example, if I watch or listen to a podcast that status is not updating everywhere.  Worst case is that on some occasions, items that I have already watched/played are reverting back to unwatched/unplayed status.
    Is there a way to get syncing working properly, or do I just need to turn all of those options off and go back to just direct syncing between machine and device?

    Jason,
    Thanks for your response. I am using Exchange and syncing over-the-air, not using iTunes. As you suggested, I deleted the Exchange account and then set it up again - but that did not work. HOWEVER - observations that I made while doing what you suggested led me down another path, and I was able to solve my problem! So - thanks!
    In case anyone else has this problem, here is what my problem was and I how I figured it out (I hope someone finds it useful).
    My problem was not an iPhone-to-Exchange sync problem, rather it turned out to be an Entourage-to-Exchange sync problem with the calendar. Turns my entourage calendar folder cache was messed up and had to be "emptied". I found this article that helped me do that: http://www.helpdesk.ilstu.edu/kb/index.phtml?kbid=1453
    How I discovered the solution:
    As I said, my problem was that calendar items edited or created on the iPhone were not showing up in my calendar when viewed from Entourage. When I deleted the exchange account from my iPhone, the calendar items that were (as far as I knew) ONLY on the iPhone and had not been sync-ed to exchange should have been lost forever. When I put exchange back on the iPhone - those item showed up again. So either the database on the iPhone didn't get erased when I deleted the account or those items REALLY WERE in exchange all along. So, I used Outlook Web Access to view my calendar items in exchange by bypassing entourage - and sure enough, they WERE there all along. That isolated the problem to Entourage and once I figured that out the solution was pretty easy to find.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Sync conflicts between Exchange and Gmail/IMAP/Mobile Me accounts

    Hello.
    I have managed to configure my exchange account in Mail, and it seemed to be working fine until yesterday. Today however, I am experiencing some odd behaviour in my mail accounts:
    - My two Gmail accounts (IMAP, syncing through Mobile me) are moving incoming email straight to ALL MAIL and skipping inbox.
    - I am not receiving new emails from my exchange server to my exchange address, but to my Gmail address (not to the inbox but to All mail).
    Should I turn off syncing through Mobile Me since I am already using IMAP?
    I desactivated the exchange account and reset the sync data, now at least the Gmail accounts seem to be working.
    Anyone having these kinds of problems with the exchange

  • Why will Firefox allow me to have multiple tabs available, but not allow me to switch between tabs, and can only look at a new tab by closing the previous one?

    Whenever I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab won't open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get to a new tab is to close the one I am currently on, and even then it will only open the next tab in order of precedence, so I can not even choose which tab is the next to view. This problem is making it impossible to use firefox as a research tool which requires fast switching back and forth between multiple tabbed pages simultaneously.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

  • My phone and number is on another persons account.  If I start my own account, can I transfer the phone and number to it?  If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?

    My phone and phone number are on another persons account.  If I open my own account with Verizon, can I transfer the phone and number to it?  What steps do I need to take to accomplish this?

    I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

  • Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

    Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
    I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

    I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
    These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
    Which particular issue are you referring to?
    Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

  • HT1414 updating app between iphone and itunes

    I have an app on my iphone and it says to update using itunes, I updated on itunes and its not updated on my iphone. how can I update my app on my phone?

    You didn't mentioned that you synced your phone with iTunes, just that you "updated on iTunes" (which I took to mean that you had updated the app in iTunes, not that you had synced your phone).  At any rate, verify that you have checked that app in question as well as checking "Sync Apps" on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings, then sync your phone.  If it still doesn't transfer, try unchecking that app followed by syncing (which should delete the app from your phone), then check the app again and sync again (which should transfer the updated app back to your phone).

  • Syncing apps between to iphones on the same itunes account

    My wife and I both own iphones (3G and 3GS). We sync them in itunes using the same account, which works great for the most part. However, if she installs an app on her iphone and then syncs it with the mac, those apps are then installed on my iphone the next time I sync with the mac. I would prefer to select which apps are on my phone. Same thing goes for her. Any apps I install on my iphone are automatically installed on her iphone. Any input would be appreciated.

    That's the way it works. You just need to uncheck them in the list on the Applications tab, then click Sync one more time.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • HT4623 My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to download IOS if under settings there is no software update button available. Do I have to reset my iPad and lose data?

    My iPad does not have the automatic software update and I do not know how to get IOS 6 onto it. When I go into settings there is no software update button.

    If you are really on iOS 5 then look in Settings > General > Software update.
    Otherwise:
    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
