Sync deleted my free christmas apps
I downloaded the free games from the 12 days of Christmas app directly to my iPhone 3G and the first time I tried to sync with iTunes it told me I only had 4gb memory and had overloaded my phone. It then deleted the 3 free games and a separate free app. Now when I try and re download them it is saying I have to pay.
The free app I can get again as it is free but can anyone help with getting the games back for free as I was quite enjoying them and would rather not have to pay for them.
You can re-download purchased apps for free, as long as you use the same account used to originally purchase them. Click buy, a popup will appear asking if you want to buy, click yes, another popup will appear saying you already purchased, do you want to re-download, click yes.

Latest sync deleted most of my apps including paid for games
my usual sync with itunes just decided to remove most of my apps a few of which were payed for..
i didnt even mean to sync i just plugged it in to charge..
what the ... ????You could use Time Machine to go back in time when your iTunes still had the apps and restore the folder from this backup. The folder is called "Mobile Applications" in user/music/itunes.
Or download them again for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 -
Would erase and sync delete all my contacts, apps, messages and photo?
Can someone please help me!!! Thanks!
I formatted my laptop and now i downloaded this new iTunes. I am using a Sony laptop.
I just want to add new songs into my iPhone. I selected the song list i wanted from itunes, and the clicked "sync music". Here comes the erase and sync option.On your PC just log on to the iTunes account you originally used to purchase the apps and re-download them. You do not have to pay again but you may get a receipt that says $0.00.

I'm having problems with iTunes reinstalling Apps that I want on my iPhone, but not my iPad. Furthermore, my household uses home sharing and if an App is on one iPad, iTunes puts it on all the devices. I found that if if I'm in iTunes with the iPad connected, I can delete Apps by unselecting the box for the App and then syncing it. All unselected Apps will be deleted this way, but that's where my problem starts. With the very next sync, all of the previously deleted Apps are then reinstalled. It seems that as long as the App is in my library, iTunes will reinstall it. I tried deleting the Apps directly from the device, and they're still reinstalled. The only way I can delete the Apps successfully is by deleting the App by unchecking the box and then syncing. Then I must delete the App from all devices in my home sharing network as well as my library. Here is where it really gets frustrating. If I want the App back on my iPhone by reinstalling it directly to the iPhone, iTunes will add it back it to my iPad with the next sync. My only option so far seems to be to keep the Apps on all my devices, or none of my devices. To make matters worse, I have many of my daughter's Apps on my iPad and she has many of mine on her Mini-iPad (because of home sharing). Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I've been having the same problem with my iPad most recently, and I think I may have an answer. I have a lot of apps installed and more that are not installed. I sync with iTunes once every few months; however, I regularly update my apps directly on the iPad. Whenever I sync with my computer, iTunes will copy the latest purchases from my iPad (including the latest updates) to the computer.
What I've noticed is that iTunes only copies a few apps at a time. I'm guessing this is to speed up the syncing process. Every time I press Sync, even just having completed a sync, iTunes finds some more apps to copy over from the iPad. Imagine with 50 apps updated on the iPad since the last install, even if iTunes copies 10 apps per sync, it still takes 5 syncs to copy over all of the apps. I've also noticed that every time I try to remove an app when iTunes is going through these rounds of copying from the iPad, my removed apps get reinstalled.
The solution: sync iTunes repeatedly until it has copied all apps from the iPad to the computer. Only once that has been completed should you try to remove the apps you no longer want on your iPad.
Hopefully this will all be taken care of with iOS 5 and the wireless syncing! -
I download apps directly to my iphone. When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?
If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

What does it mean when a purchase is billed to "store credit"? Is it one of those iTunes gift vouchers? Only reason I ask is because I downloaded Ken Follit's FREE book from the 12 days of Christmas app and seem to have been charged 10.99 for it!?
Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck -
I downloaded the 12 days of christmas app and yesterday I got my first free gift. I was very excited, today I went to get my free gift and it costs 24.99. What is up with that?
pdroth, Yes, I am aware that only the pilot is free. I did find it and downloaded it but my next question is that when it was done downloading it said "your purchase is complete" This better not have charged me. Did it?

Hi,
I am using latest version of iOS (5.0.1) and iPhone 4.
My question is stated in the title. I wish to sync iTunes according to my current iPhone settings (i.e. backup my current settings from my iPhone to iTunes), not reinstall apps which I have already deleted.
But when I "sync" my iphone with iTunes, apps which I deleted since the previous backup suddenly appeared in my iPhone.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.When you sync your phone check the Apps tab in your iTunes sync settings (not the Apps folder under Library on the left sidebar) and confirm that the apps you don't want on your phone are unchecked prior to syncing.

ive recently updated my IOS, which deleted my music and apps, and it is now not allowing me to press sync, any help?
The next iOS update won't change this.
Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?

I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air. Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie? I need to free up space on my Macbook Air as I don't have any space left. I've ordered an external drive in order to move photos and video there to free up space. In the meantime I have to make some room for incoming emails and to open programs. I've already deleted some documents.
You should find out which app you are using when you double click on a movie.

Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup. -
