PLEASE help! Apps won't sync!

my computer crashed a while ago. I got a backup thing and re-installed iTunes, and i'm having various problems, but my main problem is that my apps won't sync. I go to check the box so I can sync it and it won't allow me to. There is no app store app on my ipod, either. I'm not sure what happened but its really frustrating.

okay, that's what I thought. I think she didn't quite understand how much it would mess it up. So does it get complicated after the password?
My experience, is that Mom's understand way more than you ever give them credit for. But you don't really find that out until much later in life. Never discount anything your Mom says.

Please help, apps continue to reappear when I sync multiple devices after I permantaly deleted from itunes

PLease help: apps continue to reappear after I permantaly delete them when I sync multiple devices.. How do I fix this?
I have tried everything..

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

The only way to permanently remove an app is to delete the app from iTunes on your computer and delete the app from every device that has the app. If you don't, then when the devices are synced to the computer it will be transfered back to the iTunes library on the computer from the device.

Updated apps won't sync to my mac iTunes

Hey Guys,
I have recently updated my MBP to a MBP retina and I used to be able to auto sync all the apps that I update on my iPhone 5s or iPod 5th gen or iPad air to my iTunes but ever since i started using MBP retina it won’t work anymore. I can’t possibly download the same apps on each device just because the updated apps won’t sync to my iTunes, I used to do all the updates on one device and then sync everything to my iTunes and then sync my other devices to my iTunes and then I would have the same updated apps on each device and in my iTunes,
Could someone please help me?
I’m going crazy here…

You might try Resetting All Settings, Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings and then reset as a new phone.
This will not erase any of your content but it sets the phone back to factory defaults on everything.
Worst case you may need to restore the phone form iTunes as a new phone and then restore from a back up to get your content back on your phone.

Applications tab doesn't work - apps won't sync

I'm starting to go a bit bonkers. It's been a while since I updated iTunes, and the Applications tab still doesn't work right. Is it just me? I can't click on anything/manipulate anything in that part of iTunes. And when I download new apps through the app store and tell my iPhone to sync, it doesn't sync the apps, even though "Sync Applications" under the Applications tab is checked.
I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I've restored my iPhone. I've done both things a few times and you know what? Sometimes that makes it work. But if so, it only works one time. I can use the Applications window to check which apps I want synced and move things around onto different screens. But then if I click on another tab/navigate away from that window, it stops working. And I have to restore my iPhone again just to sync my apps.
Any suggestions? Help? Is it just me that's having this problem? Thanks...
iTunes version: 9.0.2 (25)
iPhone software version: 3.1.2

Wouldn't I lose all my paid apps if I go under a different account?
Still not working... only when I restore my iPhone to factory settings and reupload everything do I get my new and updated apps and have a working Applications tab. Then, if I quit iTunes and open it again later, I can't manipulate/change anything under the Applications tab, and my apps won't sync with the rest of the stuff on my iPhone. So maybe the solution is to leave iTunes open and my computer on FOREVER.
I'm seriously getting ticked that this isn't working right. Anyone else have this problem? Or just scuttlebutt and me?

Updated apps won't sync to Ipod Touch

I've been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I update an app that I already have, the updated app won't sync to my touch and I get an error message. However, new apps downloaded from itunes work fine, they just are not current. Any help?

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- NextI would restore from backup.

Please help apps. Crashing on 64 gb 4 gen touch. Run 5.0.1 I know the temp fix of logging in but want to fix report shows "low mmemory crash" which is not true

Why do you say "not true"? The 4G iPod only has 256 MB of memory and out of memoty errors are not uncommon with iOS 5.
memory is different that the 8, 32 ir 64 GB or storage on the 4G iPods.
To resolve double click the Home button and delete the apps from the mulitasking dock that you are not using and the power off and back on the iPod. You have to do that periodically.

It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

All my apps won't sync to my ipad.

I received a new ipad because my original wouldn't charge and now all my apps won't sync, only a few will. How do I get all of them to sync?

As far as I know, iTunes will still not change anything until you click on Apply in the lower right corner. I fiddle with my settings all the time - just so I can get a sense if what to expect should I make any changes - and I have never seen anything happen to my configuration unless I click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Not only that - you have turned off auto sync so as far as I know you still have to click on sync or apply in order for the iPad to sync with iTunes.
That doesn't mean it will not happen, I've never seen it happen - is all that I'm saying. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what will happen, but the only reason that I can of why the apps will not transfer is because of the manual manage setting. I could be wrong about that as well.
Look at this discussion - which I have referred quite a few users to read. I know this process has worked for a number of people that have read it and used the instructions in it. Maybe we are missing something - what that would be - I'm not quite sure, but take a look.

My iPod won't sync on my newly downloaded iTunes after I rebooted my laptop because I got hacked! PLEASE HELP! I cant sync anything and it only comes up with Step 1 of 1 instead of the usual 4 steps

Hello everyone,my names Charlotte and I was wondering if someone could help me with my iPod not syncing to my iTunes properly.
Okay well basically,a while ago my laptop caught a virus and in the end I ended up having to reboot the whole thing.
(My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate)
However,because of this,it meant I had to download iTunes again, and so I did.
(I have the latest iTunes and iPod Touch version downloaded)
Then I found a way how to sync all my music from my iPod touch (not the 4th gen) to my laptop, so I did and put all my music and more (from albums I haven't downloaded yet e.t.c) onto my newly downloaded iTunes.
But anyway,back to the original topic. Because of downloading iTunes again and rebooting my laptop, my iPod Touch wont sync to my new iTunes and I don't know what I can do to fix this?
Another thing I did notice was on the 'Devices' option on the sidebar, it now says 'iPod Touch', instead of 'Charlotte's iPod'.
I'm really stuck on what to do because when my iPod does sync to my iTunes it says 'Syncing iPod Touch (Step 1 of 1)', when usually it should be of 4 steps, like backing up data and transferring purchases e.t.c.
Then it just finishes sync..
One thing I did do was de-authorize it and re-authorize it again as I found online that it worked for some people,.... for me it didn't. To be honest I didn't expect it to work as I thought it was just for anyone trying to hack/take away your music...but it was worth a shot anyway.
But please help!
I really want to put more songs onto my iPod
Many Thanks for reading this,
~Charlotte

Update: I deleted all my songs in itunes and then put them back on, and then proceded to sync my ipod again which worked! the songs are being put on

Apps won't sync with iPhone!

HELP!! Does anyone know why my iPhone won't sync my apps? My applications screen on my computer won't allow me to do anything-it has frozen! Everything else is syncing(music, videos) just not the apps. Please help!

Hello Steve,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
This question has been asked and answered several times. Check my post in this thread for steps to resolve this type of issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8957337#8957337
One thing I may not have mentioned in that thread. Is the option to Sync Applications actually checked in the Applications Tab for your iPhone? I've seen the checkmark absent in the past.

Apps won't sync

I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and recently when I download apps from itunes they go to the library but they won't go onto the ipod. The tick is in the box to automatically sync new apps but it doesn't happen. I also manually tick the box next to the app and click on apply so it syncs again but once the sync is complete the tick disappears and the app isn't synced. There's 3.6 GB of free space so a 54mb game should sync.
Because of this problem I then restored the ipod. I knew it would restore from the back up but didn't realise that I'd lose all progress in my game apps. Can this be restored? And now apps that were on the ipod before the restore won't go back on.
Help please.

Are the apps compatible with your model iPod and its iOS?
Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

My apps won't sync to my ipod, any ideas why?

I've downloaded a heap of new apps but they won't sync to my ipod. when i drag them onto new pages and hit sync, everything else will sync on but the apps remove themeselves. I hace no idea why, so if anyone else does know, please help me out.

Are the apps compatible with your mode iPod and its iOS?
Have you successfully synced apps from this iTunes library/computer before? While you can add music and videos from any iTunes library, you can only sync apps from the one syncing computer you can have.

Messages app won't sync on one computer

Dear Community,
I'm having problems with the Messages App on one of my 2 Business Computers. I do use a Mac Pro at work as well as one in my home office. Both are similar, running the latest version of Mavericks and do have the Messages App configured the same way.
However while iMessages from my iPhone or iPad do sync correctly with the home office Mac, the other one simply just won't sync anything! Nothing comes in and nothing goes out... altough when I try to send an iMessage from that computer, everything seem ok, but after 5 minutes the message ist listed with a red ! symbol which says "Your message could not be sent, Try again".
Anyone any idea?
Of course internet and iCloud is working perfectly on both computers.
Thanks for help!

I am having the same problem. iMessages sends and sync with my iphone 4s and ipad, but even though I'm signed in on my mac with iMessage, I can't send any mesages and they don't sync with the messages sent from my iphone. I am signed in with my AppleID on the mac, and I get the confirmation notices on my iphone and ipad, but I can't send send or receive iMessages on the mac.
I've tried the numerous fixes suggested in other articles, such as signing in and out on all my devices (starting with the iphone first), deleting plist files, uninstalling Flash player, resetting the PRAM, repairing disk permissions, booting in safe mode, but nothing works.
I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest version of Mavericks with Messages version 8 (4226).
My iCloud account is a different login than my AppleID I use for the iPhone, iTunes, and Messages, but that's because it's the AppleID that is tied to my cell phone number.
Thank you for the help.

Apps won't sync from itunes to ipod

Hi everyone, hopefully someone can help me with a frustrating problem!
As it stands I can download apps (via my ipod) and use them with no problems. However, I cannot sync ANY apps currently stored on my computer to my ipod. Ipod + itunes are both up to date, settings are the same as they always have been (working with no problems for the last year), music and video syncs fine.
If I remove an app from my ipod I cannot put it back on....all relevent boxes are ticked but apps won't appear in the ipod screen viewer within itunes.
Any help would be great thanks.

Have you reset your iPod and rebooted your computer?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
