Sync Error/Apps Erased

Tonight while syncing my iPhone I attempted to sync a couple podcasts. Once I checked the ones I wanted and hit apply everything went wacky. First off I got a sync error -50 and then my Apps were completely erased from my phone. I had never touched the Apps tab in iTunes. Also, somehow all the data stored in my apps was deleted too. So all the notes I had in Awesome Note were gone and the gas tracking I did in AccuFuel was gone, etc.
Is there anyway to get that information back? I've re-synced my phone now without problems after adding all the apps again through iTunes, but the podcasts were unchecked again and I'm loathe to try to sync them again. Is this a known issue when trying to sync Podcasts?

Contact Apple. They may re-authorize download of apps you've purchased.
Next time, pay attention to the warning messages telling you you might lose everything instead of just ignoring them.
Honestly, they did NOT put the warnings there just to annoy you. They actually mean something.

Audio midi sync error in logic and other apps

hey everybody,
after a system update, all my audio apps freakout when they have to playback midi channels. audio tracks work perfectly in all apps i use but using midi just clips the cpu meter all the way. in live for example which i use 100% midi, droputs and digital distortion will occur alsmost as soon as i press play. in logic it will take a few more seconds until the audio sync error appears asking me to check external devices. the thing is, although i usually output to my mbox 2, i have disconnected everything i use and have been trying it with the built in outputs and it's still happening.
please note all of this was not happening before the update and the exact same projects played back fine before. i'm positive it's something to do with midi. for example ableton live has been creating text files to its preferences folder titled midijitter etc. etc.
thanks for any bits help!
cheers

Hi,
I have the same problem. The problem happened after a system update (few days ago). I don't know which update caused this.(I updated several applications )
I re-installed Mac OS. I updated everything that the system updater suggested. And finally I tested with my applications. The problem still continues:
Sibelius, Pro Tools (and other applications using midi) can't play midi files correctly.
I also tested Quicktime; It can't play midi files correctly.
Thanks

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?

Syncing 1 App with iPad - erase and sync?

Hey guys,
I obtained a loaner iPad for a movie making competition I'm doing this week. Awesome device, but have one question.
The iPad comes pre-loaded with certain Apps. I want to put one of my apps onto the iPad. If I do this, will it erase and sync the app like I think it's going to, or will I be able to add one app without erasing any content from the iPad?
I think I know the answer, but it doesn't hurt to double check.

It willerase everything.
Just redownload the app from the App store.
Make sure you are signed into your iTunes account. Settings > Store.
Open the App store then tap Purchases across the bottom and redownload the app.
And since it is a loaner iPad, make sure to erase it before returning it.

I had the same issue. I closed iTunes, restarted the computer and then tried again. This time it would sync. Another thing I tried was switching USB ports I was connecting through.

If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
You must go through the iTunes app store.

Sync error "erased" songs, now ghost files have me over capacity

Last night when I tried to a routine sync to iTunes using my iPhone (4S), I got the dreaded neverending "Applying changes" error during the sync. This happened a few times in a row. Some help forum advice suggested unchecking the "Sync Songs" box to fix the problem, and that did work, but now there is no music showing as available on my phone (ie, the phone doesn't seem to "see" any music files). iTunes still "thinks" they are there, though, because now when I try to resync including the music it tells me the memory is over capacity, even though my iPhone is functionally empty of music. It seems it didn't recalculate the available disc space after the sync errors.
SO, how do I either delete what may be "ghost" music files on my iPhone, or alternatively how do I make iTunes recognize that there is more space on the device than it is currently "seeing"?

Hello aubiefan12
If turning off Sync Music and syncing did not remove the files as well as restoring from a back up. Then the only other option is to restore your iPhone and set it up as new and not rely on your back up as it may be corrupted and causing the issue. Alternatively you can back up using iCloud and use that back up to put back on after you have restored. Restoring from an iCloud back up does differ from an iTunes back up and may not bring back any ghost files.

Why does iTunes always sync old apps back to my phone when restoring from back-up?

I can't seem to stop this happening - I delete apps frequently from my phone as I find I have no use for them. I regularly sync my phone to iTunes and I expected this to mean that old apps would be deleted from there as well, the same as contacts and photos are modified. But whenever I've restored from a back-up, I end up with all my old apps back on. I'm currently restoring from a back-up and it's syncing 1560 apps back onto my phone! I only had 346 on there that I wanted! But obviously I do want it to sync apps back on because I really can't be bothered to download 346 apps again, but why can't it just sync the apps back on that were present on my most recent back-up? This seems to be one of the many dumb things that iTunes does...

Syncing apps is a transfer/copy process, not a true sync process as with contacts, and the same for all iTunes content.
All apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library. If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically along with being selected the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. If you delete an app direct on your iPhone, the app should be deselected automatically under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so - so the app won't be reinstalled on your iPhone with a following sync with iTunes. Your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is included with your iPhone's backup.
No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be erased via the iTunes sync process.

How to stop to sync ipad apps with itunes without loosing everything?

My iPad is synching it's apps with itunes. Now that we have icloud, my ipad already has a backup in the cloud, and the PC backup of my apps is no longer useful. My goal is to stop my apps to sync with itunes on my PC because it is useless, it takes a lot of space on my hard drive (with many apps other 1-2GB each), because it drains my network bandwidth when it syncs, and finally because it makes my music synching with itunes extremely long (because it needs to sync all apps when it sync the music), and all of that without any use.
I tryed to simply uncheck "sync my apps" , but itunes wants to delete all my app and app data if I do so. I searched online and found out that some tryed to let itunes erase them, then use the icloud backup, but it seems that the icloud backup also backup the "sync my apps is checked", so it is not working. I tryed contacting Apple directly but for itunes they say we have to use the Fast Land, which cost money, which is conter logic (why should we pay to report bugs and get support for an unworking product that should work properly in the first place?), and also very frustrating.
I got poor support by Apple over the years, but I now that the best support often comes from the people that uses the product itself, and that is why I am trying to get the answer from you guys over the support communities.
None of us is paid to help each other, so thank you in advance for your time!
PS: Apple; fast lane needs to be free, it's not normal to have to pay to get the service every company in the world gives freely...

How do I keep these computers in sync in iTunes without iTunes re-arranging my iPhone home screen and corresponding app icons?
You don't. Each sync-able item (apps, music, contacts, calendar, etc) can only have one source. You don't see it because all of the iTunes libraries have the same apps, but if they didn't, it'd be adding and deleting apps too. So each type you sync, the one you're currently syncing with becomes the authority.
Since you state that your goal is for all the libraries to match, there's no reason to be syncing them all. Pick one, designate it as the authority, and on the other two, don't sync apps.

HT201372 Failed to start erase of disk due to error (-9999, 0). A error occurred erasing the disk.

Is there an updated document ?

Oh, createinstallmedia only runs on OS 10.9! Oh! The 9999 is if you try to run it on an earlier OS! Oh! Linc means to update the current drive to Mavericks, and then one will be able to run createinstallmedia, if one has first saved away a copy of the installer.
But if, like me, you are trying to create an installer to do a clean install on an empty drive, without replacing the earlier OS on your current drive, then...
You must use the slightly more complicated instructions you can find all over the place that look like
Right click "Install OS X Mavericks.app" and show package contents
Find a certain .dmg file and double click
Find a hidden .dmg within the drive that mounts from the first .dmg
Double-click or use "mount" on the hidden .dmg within the .dmg
Use Disk Utility to "restore" the second disk image onto the erased USB drive
Then replace an alias folder with a copy of a huge folder within the first disk image
I had success with the "Option 2: Use Disk Utility" section here.

Since iOS5 upgrade, I have a lot of sync errors

Hello all,
I really need help here. Here is the story.
1. Plugged in my iPhone to upgrade to iOS5.
2. I did a backup first and everything went ok
3. I click on update and the process started and everything went fine until...
For some reason, when the restore process was going on for apps, instead of re-uploading only the apps I had installed on my iPhone, it decided to re-install absolulty everything I ever downloaded on the App Store. Well, all apps that I have in iTune. I don't have all of them installed on my iPhone. This resulted in the fact that the restore kind of bugged because my iPhone was full now (no more free MB space). The process was stopped and their was nothing I could do.
Question: Why... oh why iTunes decided to re-install all of my apps that I had deleted on my iPhone.... Previous sync on my PC never did that.
I am not sure why, but I decided to unplug the usb cable during the restore. I didn't really know what to do else. iTunes was bugged because of this anyway.
I then went in the Apps section of iTunes and manually deleted every old apps I don't use, so it won't try to re-sync them to my iPhone.
But now, every time I try to sync my Apps to iPhone, I alwas have (-50) or (-53) errors. Their is absolutly nothing I can do. I tried to Re-install again iOS5 fresh install, but it doesn't work, same error that comes again.
So I have iOS5, but I am unable to sync nothing from my PC and I tried to google those errors and all information I had was to uncheck the "Sync Photos" or "Sync Ringtones" and check again. Problem is that nothing is checked in my iTunes now but to Sync Apps.
I really need help and I don't know what to do.
thank you.
I have iPhone 4.

Again, where are you seeing the date?
Select one of the imported photos, type Command + i and check in the iPhoto Info drawer to see what the EXIF capture date is for those photos.
If the date is correct then you're looking at the file created or modified date and not the EXIF capture date that's embedded in the image file itself.
