Since updating to itunes 10.1.2 it tries to "re-sync" all apps to iphone

i just updated to itunes 10.1.2 a few days ago. ever since, when i plug my iphone 4 32GB (iOS 4.2.1) in to sync, itunes will try to install all the existing apps i have back onto the phone even though they are already on the phone and have not been updated. with over 1,000 apps on my iphone this obviously is time consuming (and unnecessary since a sync is only meant to copy over new or updated apps).
here is the situation:
1) i purchased new apps on my iphone
2) i did not purchase any new apps on my computer and did not update any apps on my computer
3) so the sync should only update apps FROM my phone TO the computer, not vice versa.
however, when the sync begins it will correctly start the step "transferring purchases FROM iphone", but then it will stop it before it completes (it only actually copies over 1 or 2 of the 10 or so apps i bought on the phone) and then it immediately goes into the step "syncing apps TO iphone" which i already pointed out nothing has changed or been added with regards to apps on my computer. this is when it "installs" all the apps from my computer to my phone which already exist and are up to date on my phone.
i went ahead let it do that sync overnight hoping that once it completes it wouldn't do it anymore. when i got up the next morning it was only HALF way through (again, i have over 1,000 apps on my phone). then when i unplugged it and tried to sync again it simply started back at the beginning. if it were truly syncing it would have realized it already did half of the apps and not start at the beginning the next time. so i have no doubt if i waited 16 hours for it to go all the way through, it would still just do it all over again the next time i sync. and there's no way i can be phone-less for 16 hours anyway.
this is extremely frustrating. i have had to stop the sync and restart it many many times for it to finally copy over to my computer all the apps i bought on my phone since it keep stopping that step after only doing 1 or 2 apps.
i have already tried doing a hard reset of my iphone and doing a shutdown and re-start of my computer. but this did not fix the problem.
anyone else having this issue or suggestions?

i have also now noticed that if i delete an app on my iphone, when i go to sync the process will not notify my computer that the app was deleted, instead itunes simply re-installs it back onto my phone.

  • After rebooting, iTunes tries to sync all apps onto iphone

    After rebooting my MBA (late 2010), the first sync of my iphone 4 shows ALL of my apps placed on my iphone up to its capacity.
    This has happened twice in the past week. The first time, I had to keep syncing the iphone and deleting the unwanted apps, working my way through whatever iTunes automatically loaded without my intervention. After I deleted all of the unwanted apps in my iphone, subsequent syncs were fine. Then, this morning, after a reboot, they all showed up again in the apps list ready to be synced to my iphone. I'd rather not have to go through the very time consuming effort of having to sync-delete-sync-delete... again.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Bump. Nobody knows?

  • Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working

    Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working.
    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.
    All mobile devices are up to date with ios, including 2 apple tvs (2 & 3), iphone 4s and 3gs, ipad1 & ipad2.
    I've rebooted twice, turned home sharing off, then signed back in. Still nothing.  Rebooted the mobile devices.  No joy.
    Curiously, wi-fi sync is also not working - the devices are not showing up in itunes unless I plug them in. 
    Please Help!

    Yes, you guessed. After some rebbots it stopped working again .So it seems it is not a Firewall issue. Kept looking and found a suggestion in a forum to disable IPv6, apparently iTunes for Windows doesn't work well with IPv6. So I did, and after several rebbots and tests, both Home Sharing and Apple TV 1st Gen are working. To disable IPv6, follow this link
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852
    It has an MS Fix It that will do it for you. Or if you wnat to go manual, follow this discussion, this guy was having the same issue several months ago
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3507281?start=75&tstart=0
    So far IPv6 is just being rolled out, and it will be a few years until everybody abandons IPv4 and go only with IPv6, so you shouldn't have any issues disabling it. And by then iTunes -I hope- should be fixed to work correctly with IPv6. Try it, and if you find any issues you can always enable IPv6 using another MS Fix it program, or manually reverse what you did
    Hope it is fixed this time!

  • Since updating to iTunes 11 music no longer shows up in Aperture Slideshows

    Since updating to iTunes 11 I can no longer see iTunes music in the Aperture browser for slideshows, it also seems that import of audio doesn't work.

    Do you see iTunes in other applications - Pages, iMovie? If not, you may need to rebuild your iTunes library, see:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    For me, iTunes '11 works very well with Aperture 3.4.3.

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

    I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

    If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

  • Cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11?

    cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11 - any suggestions?

    Thanks for your message.
    I have downloaded the latest iTunes [11.1.5 (5)] with no luck, unfortunately. As it did with 11.1.4 (62), iTunes recognizes my iPhone, I can select the music to sync, click sync, it appears to sync but remains completely unchanged in my iPhone music.
    Any tips are welcome!

  • Since updating to IOS 7.1.2 I can't delete any song from my iphone

    Since updating to IOS 7.1.2 I can't delete any song from my iphone (except 1 by 1). I've tried all the options in itunes (uncheck and manage my music manually) and in the phone directly with Settings/General/Usage and delete. Nothing works....

    First off, you might describe what happens when you try and answer a call. Then, let us know what user troubleshooting you have tried.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

    Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

    No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

    Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

    Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade.  No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all.  I gave in and tried the hair dryer method.  Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute.  Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again.  That was 2 days ago.  Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again!  Hopefully this will last.  I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try.  Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

    Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
    Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
    My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
    At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
    Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

    I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

    You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

    4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
    I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled.  Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
    I've had  iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
    Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.
