Show only iPad Apps

Grrrr!! iTunes is driving me nuts! Aside from it trying very hard to wipe everything it can at the slightest excuse, it's now displaying even more odd behaviour.
I've synced one of our iPads several times before, and iTunes has "remembered" what needs syncing.
Tonight I tried to transfer just one book and a newly downloaded app.
I dropped the menu to "show ipad apps only" as usual, and noticed it was taking forever to sync. I then noticed it was downloading iPhone / Touch apps, which we'd previously excluded. There are hundreds of them (kids)!
Why did it decide to transfer them when when I'd asked for only iPad apps?? Plus, it never did that before?? iTunes is becoming an exercise in patience, to say the least.

Mac OS X apps are in the Mac App Store, which is a completely separate application.

Apple TV menu shows only "Computers" app and "Settings" app?

We have ATV 2nd generation and it has worked very well until recently. We didn't use it for about a month or so and when we went to use it the other day, it turns on fine but our menu screen shows only 2 apps "Computers" and "Settings". No movies, tv shows, Netflix, MLB, nothing. When we click on the "Computers" app it asks to turn on Home Sharing. When I try to enter apple id and password through ATV it tells me that the id and/or password are incorrect. They aren't! Home Sharing is on when I check iTunes on the computer. In the "Settings" app I have tried restarting and resetting the ATV. It doesn't work. We are also unable to connect to iTunes from ATV. I enter the id and password and I get a message the iTunes is unavailable and to try again later. VERY FRUSTRATED! Has anyone had these issues??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    4.    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

Is there a way to filter content search in iTunes to show only those apps/music etc that are compatible with a particular hardware/software/firmware configuration.

It is annoying to download an app that subsequently states it is only for iPhone 4 or OS x.x.x
Is there some way of filtering content or content search to show only those items that are compatible with whatever hardware/firmware I happen to be using?
Interestingly in the Apple drop down list of Products the earliest iPhone shown is 3G !! Have they disowned all models they sold before that variant? I have an iPhone 2G. Works well, does what it says on the tin, have no reason/need to throw away and buy another. Yet they manage to provide firmware updates (now 3.1.3) for a product that is not listed!!!

And some more info I just found...
I found a web article that confirms that it is possible to clean ("sanitize" or "scrub") the files manually on Mac. It even provides a link that (I am assuming) details how to do it.
Unfortunately, the link doesn't work for me. Does the link work for anybody else?
Here's the article: http://lawyerist.com/remove-metadata-with-batch-software/
Scroll down to the 3rd section "How to remove metadata?" to see the link that I'm referring to.

Sync only iPad apps to iPad ?

Hello,
I have over 400 iPhone apps in my iTunes apps Library.
When I plug in my iPad, it wants to sync to the Library. However if I click Sync Apps - it selects all 400 of these apps, and would install them on the iPad if I let it. There appears to be no way to "Select All" or "UnSelect All" so it would appear the only way to not sync the iPhone apps to the iPad would be to individually click off each of the 400 apps tick boxes?
This is sheer madness!
There must be an "un-select" all option?
I only need to enable 5 or so iPad apps on this iPad.
Thanks
Paul

After you connect the iPad, check the Sync Apps box ONCE and wait. Wait. Wait. Apparently it takes awhile for iTunes to import or discover all the apps. (Mine were all checked to begiu with, and grayed out.) If you have lots of apps, it will take awhile. Finally, the Apps display un-grayed, though all apps were still checked. Then, I checked the Synch box (it worked!) and unchecked all the apps except those I wanted synced to my iPad. All works fine now. This takes patience and time, which we're not used to on a PC. If something doesn't happen right away, I tend to click, click, click, end task, relauch, etc., thinking there is a problem. Just imagine the old Hour Glass up there for 10-20 minutes (the more apps the longer!) ... the first time only. This worked for me and hope it helps others.

HT4539 Allow only iPad apps to down from the cloud to ipad

I have an iPhone and iPad. When I download an app to my iPhone, the cloud sends it to my iPad as well. I only want iPad apps on my ipad

If you've turned on automatic downloads on the iPad, then any app that you purchase/download on your iPhone and/or computer will be downloaded to it if it is compatible (e.g. you have the relevant iOS version on the iPad and it's not, for example, an iPhone-only app that needs full phone capability), you can't only specify it to only download iPad-only apps.

Auto-Sync only iPad apps?

Is there any way to only sync iPad apps? I like to keep my iPhone and iPad on auto-sync but have no desire to run low res iPhone apps on the iPad.

When you sync the iPad to the computer it should recognize it as a new handheld. Just go through the motions of what you want on there and click sync. Each time thereafter you won't have iPhone apps on the iPad. It may help to select manually syncing what you want, rather than having it set to automatic.

HT4483 Purchased apps do not show in ipad app store

The IOS 7.0.6 update forced me to restore my iPad to factory defaults. When I tried to re-download purchased apps from the App Store, no apps showed on the Purchased Apps page.

If you've been able to download apps on it then you are signed into your acocunt on it. You haven't changed countries since buying/downloading them ?
Try tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and sign out of your account, and then sign back in (you should get a Sign In button where your id is currently showing) and see if your apps then show in the Purchased tab

AppStore only shows iPad apps in the category lists

In the iTunes appstore, if I go to any of the categories, such as 'navigation' it only shows me iPad apps. I don't have an iPad and would rather see some iPhone apps!
I can't find any settings to change this.
How do I get to see iPhone apps in the category lists?

OK, I've solved this. If you go to the US store there are "iPad" and "iPhone" buttons at the top of the store, whereas the UK store currently doesn't so you can't switch to "iPhone".
I fixed this by going to the US store, selecting iPhone and then returning to the UK store.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can only see New apps in iPad app store

Seems kind of pointless to search for apps on the iPad app store, when it will only show you the "new" ones. When I choose any category, then click the show all button, I don't get all, just the "new" ones ... never more than about 97 or so. searching the same category in iTunes for just iPad apps will almost always yield far more choices. for example I can only see about 97 utilities for the iPad from my iPad app store, but in iTunes there are 260 choices. They aren't iPhone apps either. Another example, if I show the games category on the iPad I can only see 27 New and Noteworthy apps, and 24 What's hot apps. No more. In iTunes I have an additional option of a subcategory, for example Action, there are 200 games released for iPad since March 31st available in that one category.
Not sure if I have a preference set wrong, it's just a bug, or if someone just wasn't thinking. Mayabe it's a bandwidth thing, but at least give me the subcategories or let me see the "next" 50.

Yes. How else do you access the App Store? I'm not aware that you can do the same thing from the iPad's App Store app. Nevertheless, whatever you browse from the iPad if there's "+" in the price it means the app can be used both on an iPhone and iPad.
I guess you finally understood the question
Why should I be forced to use iTunes to see all of the apps? The iPad app store should see everything just like iTunes.. This isn't an iPhone.
At least the link is some what helpful although quite slow going back and forth to app store to get details.

Ipad app store no longer shows updates

ipad app store no longer shows updates. was working fine until a couple days ago - whwt can I do?

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

Only seeing iPad apps in the store-categories

I ran into the following problem. Since a few minutes ago I only see iPad applications in the appstore when selecting a certain category. When I'm on the 'home-page' of the store everything looks normal. I can click iPhone apps that are in the top10 list for instance. But once I select any of the categories (from the menu above), like 'Photography' or 'Books', I only see a few iPad apps. Can't seem to find a button or something that lets me switch back to iPhone apps.
Btw, I'm using the european store.

Ok, found it already and posting the solution here because of the sheer stupidity of the way Apple didn't seem to think of this occuring...
The US store has gotten an upgrade in the sense of a nifty button on top that allows you to select either "Iphone" of "iPad". But the European store doesn't have that... I bet you can figure out where this going, right?
This morning, my friend, who has a US account logged in on my iMac and set it to "Ipad". He logged out, I logged in. Now one way or another iTunes remembered that he had set it to "iPad" and showed me the iPad apps in the European store. WITHOUT the button to set it back to "iPhone".
My friend logged into his account again, switched it back in the US store, I logged into my European account, and all is right with the world again...
Well, except for the fact that Apple didn't see this problem coming from a mile away...shame on you Apple.
