Suggestion to Apple: Apps usable in iTunes

All of the other iTunes products are usable both on the phone and in iTunes on a computer...music, movies, etc. You should make the apps usable in iTunes on the computer as well!

Not going to happen - not unless the developer for an app compiles the app to be compatible with OS X on a Mac, and/or with Windows on a PC. And if someone were able to pay $.99 cents or an amount under $10 for an app written for the iPhone and iPod Touch and use the app on their computer, there would be no motivation to purchase an iPhone or an iPod Touch for many. Apple makes their profit off the sale of hardware - computers, the iPod, and the iPhone. The iTunes store is designed to be a break even for Apple with all profit made from the sale of hardware.

Ipad: all my apple apps ( mail, safari, itunes..) fail to open and stay in background

Ipad: all my apple apps ( mail, safari, itunes..) fail to open and stay in background

If you double click on the home button, that opens the recents tray and you can see all of the apps you have recently used. Click on one of those app icons when you have that tray open and the app should start up.
If you just click the home button again when the recents tray is open, it will take you back to the home screen and you will be back where you started.

I live in Zambia and there is no itune store here.I just upgraded my ios and now i want to install apple apps but unfortunately itunes store cannot recognize Zambia in my billing plan.Somebody help because i need most of these apps which i have lost.

How can i have a billing plan if my country cannot be listed in itunes store.Is there any other way i could download apple apps without a billing plan?

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.

[Suggestions to Apple] Year Composed and iTunes sharing...

I don't know if posting this is moot or not, but it would be great if iTunes had a info/view option to input "Year Composed" in addition to the "Year" which is used for the CD release. For example, I have a 2007 recording of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians but the piece was composed from 1974-1976.
Another suggestion I had was if iTunes could notify when someone connects to your iTunes library through iTunes sharing.

Thanks for the feedback. As far as sharing goes, I know people can't modify the library, but you only know when someone is connected when you try to quit iTunes. I'd like to know if/when someone connects just while I'm on iTunes. It's not a big deal though.
I know you can put info in the comments section, but the "Year Composed" would be nice for sorting options. Thanks for your input though.

Please help! itunes has stopped working. I followed all of the forum suggestions, deleted apple application support, all itunes files, downloaded the itues 64setup, uninstalled itunes & application supportrestarted, downloaded itunes, nothing. Same crash:

My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone

My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
Questions:
1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
Thank you.
DD

Hi Dahveed,
Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
In the end I was forced to upgrade.
I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project.

HT5622 Trying to load an app from the itunes store and asked to review the "Terms and Conditions and Apple Privacy Policy" as it has changed. There is no "Agree" selection available. Any suggestions? This appears to be associated with the iOS7 upgrade.

I have the same problem with my iphone 4 . I solve it with giving permission to the cookies on safari from the settings.

TS5376 Anyone have any suggestions?? Cannot get iTunes (or any other apple apps) to work now

Anyone have any suggestions?? I've run iTunes for years now, this last update "killed" the ablity for it to run automatically on my Win7 machine. I've unloaded EVERTYTHING apple on my computer 3x times now, reloaded, as admin - even paid for cleaners to make sure. Run all the Microsoft patches, updates, everthing I could find...NOTHING seems to be working.

Are you currently getting an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I have been trying without success to connect to my App Store and iTunes Store on my iPad. I have tried out all the troubleshooting suggestions to no avail. I hope Apple helps me out really soon.

I cannot connect to my iTunes Abdul App Store. Please help me out.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

HT204053 For some reason, I am unable to log onto the App store and iTunes using my Apple ID although it works on the actual website/browser. Why is this and what can I do about it?

I was struggling with creating an account without a credit card at first and then someone on here suggested I create my account through the actual website and I log onto the website without any trouble and onto Game Center, just nowhere else. It says "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store." and asks me to review my account information but when I click on review, it completely ignores my request. This is somewhat infuriating as I really would like to start using the App Store. Thank you for your help.

Hi annafrUk!

I have a US itunes id but i live in india and want to download apps from indian itunes store also, how can i do that?? can itunes accounts be merged?? if i create another id on itunes India app store will i lose all my US store apps???
please suggest??

You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV

HT2731 I have an Apple ID but I can't use it on App Store or ITunes

I made an Apple ID but every time I try to sign in to App Store or ITunes it says that my Apple ID is not signed in to ITunes Store

I think you'll need to do some steps to complete the registration for iTunes. Better contact support for suggestions my friend.

Multiple Apple id account apps on one itunes help

My family uses one computers' itunes for buying apps. Everyone in my family has their own Apple id account. Everyones iPhone is also backed up and has transfered their apps to the computer. Everyone in my family plays the game Tiny Tower. And their iPhones are most used on this computer other than another computer.
I want to update my iPhone to ios 5 from ios 4. I have backed up and transfered all my bought apps from my iPhone. I don't want to lose my saved Tiny Tower game data. Would I be able to get Tiny Tower back onto my iPhone after I update my iPhone to ios 5 with the exact same game data that I had on it before I updated to ios 5? Or would I have to restart Tiny Tower from the beginning.
Sorry if this is not the right forum for this topic.

As long as the app itself is on the computer's iTunes and you make sure that the iPhone is backed up (right-click, or Control-click if on a Mac, the iOS device in iTunes under Devices and choose Back Up) before you start the update process, then your apps and and their content should be copied back to the iPhone by the update process.
Before you start the update you should also make sure that all purchases (films, tv shows, music as well as apps) have been copied over to the computer via File > Transfer Purchases, and you should copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.

My apple ID is not allowing me to download from App Store or ITunes on my ipad, but works fine on my iPhone 4. Help!

I purchased my ipad last week and my ID has been working fine until tonight. When I try to download an app or song using the ipad, it comes up with an error message saying that an unexpected ardor has occurred. I can download apps on my iPhone 4 absolutely fine..... I am quite puzzled and not sure what to do!!! I have tried switching it off and on again and that hasn't worked either. Any ideas?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........
