Problems with app sizes in iTunes and on an iTouch

My iTouch is showing a large amount of memory for apps (10.5G worth shows on the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes when iTouch is connected).  However, this seems way too much.  I even went through the app list (shown on iTunes when his iTouch is connected) and added up all the apps that it's supposed to be sync'g.  They add up to less than 3.5G of apps (which is more in line with where I think the memory usage should be).
Is there something I'm missing here?  I have deleted a number of apps from the iTouch and ensured that they're "unchecked" in iTunes so they're not resyncing when I connect the iTouch, but it doesn't seem to make a difference in the memory usage.

I had an issue with a phantom 6G of storage space being used by TV shows even when no TV shows were on the iPod!  I could make the 6G appear and disappear by checking and unchecking the "Sync TV Shows" checkbox.
This is what I did to resolve the issue.  First I did a simple Reset (Home and on/off until the Apple logo appears) and it didn't help.  Then I did a Restore with a reload from the backup and that also accomplished nothing.  Then, I did a Restore as new with NO reload from backup and that resolved my issue.
IF you choose to try the same thing, here are some cautions.  Make absolutely certain that all apps, music, movies, etc. are present in the iTunes library.  Also make absolutely certain that all "regular" data, such as photos, pdf files, Word files, etc. are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive.  Be aware that you will probably lose all game data (scores, etc.).  I did not investigate a solution for that because I don't play many games and I really don't care about the game history.  Finally, be forewarned that it is a bit tedius recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.

  • Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

    Hi,
    I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
    I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
    My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
    Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
    Thanks,
    Jule

    Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain.  Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8...  I'll try 01, 02...
    Probably a good idea.
    The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs.  Then, iPod locks up.
    Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes?  What is the original source for these tracks?  Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes?  What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

  • Problems with Syncing Photos between ITunes and iPad

    Dear Mac Users,
    1. I have been syncing Ipad and my MacBook Pro using I Tunes a lot.
    2. My storage habits are Standard so all files are imported using iTunes and all in Pictures Folder, important using ITunes.
    3. Recently i add new Photo event to sync, it does optimization shows me total number of files, start copying and then stops and here is a message comes up:
    ''The IPad cannot be synced. The required file can not be found"
    4.Files are there , I see them both on IPhoto and on Disk.
    Can you help with resolving this issue.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Alkhas

    I assume it is a POP account. Each individual device should have the setting for what to do with an email when it's (automatically) downloaded: in Mail it's in Preferences>Accounts>Advanced:
    If it's not checked, mail will be left on the server indefinitely. If it's checked and the drop-down menu set to remove mail immediately that's what will happen; or you have a choice of how long before it's removed. The removal takes place when you check mail, I don't know whether iOS devices have the same setting or where it is.
    You can see that if it's set differently on different devices you may get confusing results. I would suggest setting to one month on all devices, if you can, so that each has a chance to access the emails.
    Just to prevent confusion: iCloud email does not work like this.

  • Problem with App Game data/progress and restriction passcode

    Hi,
    Here is my problem, for an unknow reason my 7 yrs old daughter was able to add a passcode for the restriction including SAFARI. Naturally, she doesnt know which passcode she put TWICE!!
    Since I want to be able to navigate on SAFARI the only way I found was to do a restore via iTunes.
    THE PROBLEM is that by doing so I will be losing ALL my apps game data/progress which I dont want.
    I have an IPAD 2 with the latest version 7.0.4.
    What is the solution to reset the restriction password without doing a full restore or how to do a restore without loosing my game progress/Data?
    Tx

    That's just not right... Why isn't there any kind of a warning? This is ridiculous, since you can never be 100% sure you can finish the downloading. Your dog can pull out the router power cord, or anyting can happen during these let's say 10 seconds...
    How about if I wait until a next update comes up, and I try to install it, would that solve the issue?

  • Problem with app review in iTunes

    Hello.
    We’ve got a reject for our DPS application due to the following reason:
    ======== just copied reject reason here: ==========
    We found that your app offers In-App Purchase(s) that can be restored but does not include a “Restore Purchases" feature to allow users to restore the previously purchased In-App Purchase(s), as specified in the “Restoring Purchase Products” section of the In-App Purchase Programming Guide
    "Users restore transactions to maintain access to content they’ve already purchased. For example, when they upgrade to a new phone, they don’t lose all of the items they purchased on the old phone. Include some mechanism in your app to let the user restore their purchases, such as a Restore Purchases button."
    To restore previously purchased In-App Purchase products, it would be appropriate to provide a "Restore" button and initiate the restore process when the "Restore" button is tapped by the user.
    ======== just copied reject reason above ==========
    This is our new application and we planned to make some first issues free for customers.
    As we know the “Restore Purchases" button will be automatically appeared in the application when we start to sell our issues, but we can’t do it for a while.
    How we can get “Restore Purchases" button in the application without paid issues published?
    Please help us.
    Thank you.

    There's no way to do this. If the app is new and has never been released to the app store then I suggest publishing a folio as retail so that it appears in the app and Apple can complete their validation; then, prior to releasing the app republish any of your folios as free.

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

  • Strange problem with App Id on developer account

    Hi,
    I have very strange problem with App Id on developer account.
    We have uploaded one project with App Id(com.yourcompany.app) and its ready for sale now. Now we have to release update for this application but we could not find that App Id(com.yourcompany.app) on developer account. But strange is that i could not see delete option for App Id.
    If i try to create new App Id with com.yourcompany.app name then it shows that it is already being used please select any other name.
    Does anyone has faced this type of problem.
    Regards,

    You shouldn't need to enter the App Id when updating your app. Could you please describe the page in which you're asked for the App Id, and describe how you got to that page?
    For example, if I wanted to update Version 1.2 of Ray'sApp, I would log into ITC, then click on +Manage Your Applications+ to get to the "Manage Your Applications" page. On this page I see the icon for every app I have in the store. I then click on the icon for Ray'sApp 1.2 to get to the page titled "Ray'sApp". Next I click the 4th selection to the right on that page: +Update Application+, click No and Continue on the "Export Compliance" page, and get to the "Upload Application" page. On that page I fill in Version Number: 1.3, Language English, Name: Ray'sApp, Keywords ..., What's New in this Version: ..., and the Apple Content Descriptions table. Then I upload the binary.
    Following the above example, show us how you got to a step that requested the App Id. Else you might refer to Page 86: Version Updates in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide. In that case, please explain how your update experience differed from the steps in the Guide.
