Sick of apps not syncing... What next?

I am sick to death of my apps not syncing/downloading between my devices.
In summary: iPhone 4s and an iPad. Both on same apple id and both have iCloud turned on and the apps, books and music sliders in settings>store are on across both devices.
My apps will sometimes appear on my iPhone when purchased on my iPad but will NEVER appear on my iPad when purchased from my phone. I have even set a new password so that it meets the new requirements for passwords thereby containing uppercase, lowercase, numbers and characters but nothing.
I have taken both devices to "out of the box" state but nothing works.
I need this to work but it fails to do so and I am now running out of ideas as to what to do next.
Help?
Is it in iTunes that something is going wrong or am I clutching at straws?

I am having the same problem too!!!! I spent 2 hours on the phone with apple care last night, another 4 hours this morning and 3 hours in the store this evening. The store got it working temporarily and then I got home and it stoped working. I believe itunes isn't keeping the passwords logged in and it's preventing the devices from syncing becuase it works if I log into check my acct from each device and then quickly download something. I have a ticket with the engineers, so hopefully i hear back soon.

If you are getting emails from these forums then you probably accidentally clicked on one of the links on the forums page where all the questions are listed e.g. at the top right of each forum's page there is text box with Actions and Notifications in :
So far you've posted in the iTunes Store forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store#/
And the Using iPad forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad#/
If on either of those forums that box says 'stop email notifications' instead of 'receive' then click on it and it should stop that forum sending emails to you.
There are full instructions on this page for stopping emails, as there are other places where they might have been set 'on' : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3661

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Just bought a macbook air and my contacts from my iPad have not synced what can do ?

just bought a macbook air and my contacts from my ipad have not synced. what can i do ?

Using iCloud Glen ?
If so, on your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Select: Contacts
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data.
For the iPad, make sure Contacts is switched on. Tap Settings > iCloud

Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized. I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file. It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual.

My iphone is not syncing what can I do?

my iphone is not syncing what can i do?

Hard to say with so little information.
What does "will not synch to itunes when i connect it to my computer" mean?
Does itunes recognize your iphone?
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If it does see it, then what is the problem?
What have you tried?
What was the result?
Error message?

HT1925 My iphone is not syncing, what to do?

I need to sync my I phone with my apple itunes account and am not able to do it.
There was a message for reinstall itunes and accidently i have reinstalled itunes after downloading it, now my iphone is not syncing, what to do

I understand you to be saying the iPhone shows up in iTunes (e.g., you see the iPhone's Summary page), but it does not show up in iTunes' Preferences > Devices.
From the iPhone's summary page in iTunes, click "Back Up Now". That should place it there - on the Preferences > Devices tab.

TS1702 mailpro app, developer not responding, app not working, what's the next step?

mailpro
really useful hotmail, msn & the new outlook mail client
working fine until last week
tried all the stuff support recommends
switch phone on and off
delete app and reload app
contact developer
developer doesn't respond and now
the app's been taken down in the uk store
this is a paid app, we should expect something
for our money, either support from the developer,
or apple ( who took our money )
what's the next step?

thanks very much apple
you will do absolutely nothing about this ....
after a two week email discussion with your support team
you will not
a. contact the developer
b. offer a refund
c. give me an email address for customer complaints
I am disgusted at the attitude apple displays to its customers,
and the complete lack of support offered.
I can have one off telephone support for $49
....... for an app not working
I want a working app ( already paid for via apple app store)
or a refund for the non working app with no support
I will not be purchasing any more apple products in the future

Ipod Touch Apps NOT syncing (Bonus: manually managing smart playlist)

Can Someone Please Explain this to me simply?
1) I have a 32GB ipod Touch and it will NOT let me do anything with my apps from my itunes. I click on my ipod touch under devices on itunes. Then I click on apps next to summary and the entire section is grayed out in a way that I can not sync my apps nor arrange them how I would like to. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
PLEASE help me with question 1.) FIRST
2)This question is just a little more general but I have been searching and not able to find the answer, but I like to manually manage my music from my itunes to my ipod touch in a way that my entire itunes library does not load on my ipod touch. However, I have a few SMART playlist in which I click and drag the entire SMART playlist to my ipod touch. However, I have a SMART playlist set up for recently downloaded/purchased songs in my itunes, yet every time I drag that SMART playlist to my itunes it adds ALL of the same songs including the new ones instead of simply only adding the new ones and skipping the songs already on the device...how would i fix this?

I seem to have found a way to fix this. For every app on the touch, I deleted the copy from Applications in iTunes and resynced to have iTunes get a new copy from the device. This seems to have corrected the problem.

Email app not syncing Godaddy email accounts.

All,
I have the S3 and approximately one week ago, the email app stopped syncing my 2 Godaddy email accounts. The email app for Gmail is still working.
I've gone into
Settings > Application Manager > All > Email > Clear Data
and then again setup my Godaddy email accounts. This then syncs all the email again and I will get all current messages in my mail spool. However it goes right back to not syncing anything new.
I've tried putting it in airplane mode as I saw a post that that may help, but no. I've also removed the battery and let it sit, to see if that had any affect, but again no.
Has anyone else ran into this and if so, what have you done to correct this.
I am aware of the godaddy app, however I'd rather not use this, I kinda prefer the native samsung email app.

If you search on this forum and compare popular web hosting providers like Bluehost, Hostgator and Godaddy you will see many users have such problems with their email apps. First it seems your problem comes from your cellphone. But it is surprising that I had the same problem when I had a web and email hosting account with Godaddy and their customer service couldn't solve my problem and finally I moved my email hosting account to Bluehost and the problem automatically was solved, without any action!
So I recommend to you and any other users with similar problems to change your email hosting provider. Now that you are unhappy with Godaddy I recommend to try http://www.bluehost.com or http://www.hostgator.com companies.
I have the S3 and don't have any problem with syncing my Hostgator email accounts. So If I were you first I'd try Hostgator.

Enterprise ZMM App not syncing automatically

I have been deploying the ZMM Enterprise app to my end users devices over the last few weeks. What I have noticed is that the app states it will sync to the server automatically and without the app being launched. Yet in my environment it is not working that way. On Android the app seems to sync if the app is running but not in use. Once closed it stops running. On iOS if the end user doesn't have the app opened it will not sync. I lose all the location data as well as several other items that can be tracked. ie logs and such.
As anyone else seen this issue? Did I miss something in my setup and this should work correctly but I have a configuration error? I downloaded the app using https://zmmupdate.novell.com/apps
Also if someone from Novell is reading this... Why wouldn't you have this enterprise app placed on the ZMM server to be downloaded instead of going through Novell for the app? I have a separate post asking how to update the Enterprise app once it is in place with no response. I have read the docs and haven't found answers as of yet.
Thanks
Richard

Yeah if you use the enterprise app, especially on iOS, it's supposed to
report location, app inventory, and jailbroken status in the background
based on the connection schedule. If you're not seeing this I'm not
sure why. Since you originally had the app store app, even though
you've gone to the enterprise app, maybe try removing the ZMM app and
all the MDM profiles, then reenroll the device? Make sure to remove
enrollment before removing the app and profiles. See now if that works
after you reinstall the enterprise app and reenroll. If you still
don't have it reporting info in the background properly then I'd
suggest opening an SR.

As far as I know, you have to actually go and grab the new app for new
versions. You also have to go once a year and update the app because
Apple only allows enterprise apps to be signed for a year. As you
approach the one year deadline if you don't update the app you'll get
notices that the MDM profiles are going to expire.

I'm not aware of a way to do this but I'll ask.

Apps are a definite note. You can only manage apps that are pushed out
through ZMM. You can get a full inventory list to see what other apps
are installed but you can't do anything with them. I'm not sure about
iOS corporate resources but I believe it's the same thing with those as
well.

IPhone restored - Apps not synced

I took my iPhone 3G to the Apple store because it was freezing and just over all really slow and not doing what I told it to.
The Genius restored my phone and told me to set it up as a new phone when I sync it again. I had backed up my phone 2 days earlier so I have everything on my computer.
I synced it this morning but only 3 of 41 apps were synced onto my phone. I'm about to throw it out the window...I have applecare
Please Help!

Is this new? In the past I have easily restored all Apps with their layout and data to two new iPhone 3G.
I just today am trying to restore from an iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4 and the Apps are not coming across. I have tried it from two different backups and each one restored a few Apps, that and different ones each time.
Yes I know I can sync the Apps manually, but then I loose all my App data, like the hundreds of notes I have in Awesome Note and the hundreds of articles from Wikipedia.
The best answer I found so far were these below, but both require restoring from an old old backup (presumably before this problem was built into the OS?), so even if this works, you're getting a restore that's months out of date.

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10203174-233.html
Any better answers please let me know. I still have my 3G so can create new backups of my old phone but this seems to not help.

Why are apps not syncing between my iPhone and iTunes?

Hi! When I connect my iPhone to my computer and sync with iTunes, everything gets synced except my apps! If I get a new app in iTunes, it will not sync across to my iPhone. I have to download the app from the App Store on my iPhone. If I delete an app from my iTunes, it does not delete on my iPhone. I have to delete it myself from the iPhone. I cannot move apps across iPhone pages in iTunes and have it sync to my iPhone, either. Yes, my iTunes is authorized, and the Run Diagnostics all works with no errors. What am I doing wrong? What setting do I need to change? Thanks!

I just want to clarify that the syncing process goes through all its steps: preparing, contacts, calendars, notes, email accounts,... then "determining apps to sync" flashes really fast, and the syncing ends without doing anything with my apps!

Mavericks Notes App not syncing with iCloud

The notes.app stopped syncing with iCloud after installation of Mavericks for users with networked home folders. Was previously working properly with Mountain Lion.
Notes syncing is enabled in icloud preferences.
Signing out of icloud and signing back in does not fix the problem.
Unselecting the notes checkbox and re-selecting has erratic effects->a) sometimes crashing the notes.app unrecoverably (app won't reopen after force quite). b) sometimes crashing the icloud system preferences altogether.
All other icloud apps work fine: contacts, calendar, reminders, etc. (all except icloud documents which is greyed out for users with networked home folders see: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23544576?ac_cid=tw123456#23544576 )
Any fixes or work-arounds? We use our notes app extensively and this is really debilitating.

I was having the same problem with Notes not syncing. I also got duplicate notes. I found that spryt's solution fixed my syncing problem and signing in and out of icloud on my local devices finally fixed the duplicating notes problem. I am not using a networked home directory. Using Mavericks OS and believe the problem started with the upgrade.
I did notice one peculiarity: on my iMac, it shows that I'm syncing notes to "All [email protected]". However, on my Macbook Pro, Notes shows I'm syncing to "All icloud". I tried to change my iMac to "All icloud", but I can't seem to find that preference. I hope they are one and the same.
Syncing is almost instantaneous across devices including iphone and ipad now. If I find that I encounter any more problems, I'll update this thread.
