Thanks

You can sync itunes content to ONE computer at a time.
This is not true of contacts and calendar.
You can indeed sync to more than one computer for calendar and contacts.

  • Sync iOS Apps to iTunes - Questions on how exactly this works...

    I'm going to put my questions up top, but my understanding of the current system is below, and may be relevant to the questions, if you'd like to read through it.
    How can I back up / restore a SINGLE app, including its data (e.g. a game save file), to either iTunes or the cloud... or anything else for that matter. Does syncing an app to iTunes serve this purpose?
    What IS the purpose of syncing an iOS app to iTunes? Does this sync include the data stored on my iOS device? For example, if I have a game in which I've made progress, is this progress stored on both my iPhone and my Mac once I've synced the app to iTunes?
    If data IS synced along with the app, how is this data managed? Say I have two iPhones, both with the same game but different progress in each. If I sync iPhone A with iTunes, then sync iPhone B, will iPhone A's data overwrite iPhone B's? Or are there two versions of this app floating around on my mac?
    If data is NOT synced along with the app, why on earth would I want a bunch of huge storage-hogging iOS apps that are identical to what I could download from the App Store taking up GIGABYTES of space on my MacBook's SSD?
    And finally, should the answer to question 4 be "there is no reason to store 42GB worth of useless apps on your 256GB SSD alongside your already gigantic iOS device backup files," how would I go about removing these apps stored in iTunes without iTunes trying to delete them from my iOS device every time I want to sync some TV shows or podcasts?
    My Understanding So Far:
    Of the many things Apple has addressed and improved upon over the years, backing up iOS app data has strangely not been one of them. As I understand it, the only way to back up an app, including its data (e.g. the save data for a game), is to do a FULL backup of the ENTIRE device. The only way to restore an app, including the data that you backed up, is to restore the ENTIRE device, all other apps included, to a previous state.
    The driving force behind these questions is that I'd like the option to delete an app from my iPhone when I'm finished with it - but I'd also like the option to re-download it in the future and pick up where I left off. In a perfect world, all these apps would automatically sync through iCloud or GameCenter, or at least have that option to "upload to iCloud" or "restore from iCloud." Even with these apps, I'm not entirely sure where the backed up files exist - somewhere on my iCloud drive separate from my iPhone backup, photos, contacts, etc? Is there a way to see a list of apps that are storing things in my iCloud drive, and even manage this data?
    So if I wanted to back up an app's data that does NOT automatically back up to iCloud, it seems my only option would be to install one of the many 3rd party Mac <-> iOS data transfer apps, and copy the contents of the "Documents" folder to a designated directory on my Mac. Then I could delete the app off my iPhone. Say in the future I re-download the app - I'd use the same data transfer app to copy the backed-up data to the re-downloaded app's Documents folder, and we're back in business. The only downside is that if it's been a while and the app has undergone updates, this backed-up data might be corrupt or no longer relevant. Plus, it's kind of a hassle.
    When I discovered iTunes was syncing my apps to my Mac, I thought it might be serving as a way to back up my apps, data included, to my computer. Okay, it seemed like a little overkill to sync the whole app along with the data, but when I discovered that you could UPDATE the apps within iTunes, I thought apple had solved the problem of storing backed-up data for out-of-date versions of an app - simply update the app in iTunes, it does what's necessary to your backed-up data, and when you want to put the app back on your iPhone, voila! Your old data's there, AND you've got the most recent version! But apparently this is not at all how iTunes app syncing works.
    As I NOW understand it, when iTunes "syncs" an app to your Mac, it includes only the app's core data - the same as if you'd just downloaded it from the App Store, and it does so for EVERYTHING you've purchased, ever, whether or not it's on any of your iOS devices. I can see how this could be convenient if you live on a farm and want to restore an old app to your iPhone without an internet connection, but I don't think it's worth, unexaggerated, a FIFTH of my hard drive. Worse, I can't figure out how to get rid of them.
    TL;DR
    So, if you're still with me, what is the purpose of iTunes App Sync, and if it's as useless as I think it is, how do I get rid of it for good?

    You can upgrade to Snow Leopard and skip over Leopard, and only upgrade to Lion later if wanted/needed. snow Leopard specs/requirements below.

  • My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music.

    My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music. Help. I no longer have a Mac. I want to keep the music and videos I purchased. Since it is an iPod classic (80GB) I cannot even use the iCloud. Is there a way to move my ipod's music so I can reformat it to my pc?

    WIndows is asking you to reformat the iPod's hard disk because it's probably in the Mac OS X Extended Journaled file system format which the Windows OS can neither read or write to.  Reformatting will erase all content from the device and rebuild the filesystem as FAT32 unless you specify it as NTFS (which you shouldn't do).
    If you want to be able to use your iPod to copy music from your Mac to your PC, you'll need to either pre-format it as FAT32 using Disk Utility on your Mac and then copy everything over to your PC, or use third party software such as XPlay that allows a Windows PC to read and write to a Mac formatted iPod.
    Perhaps you could take a look at this article for other ways to copy your iTunes library and files from your Mac to the PC.

    How do I sync my iphone with itunes without losing everything on my phone?

    Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
    What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore
    If this is the case, you first need to Import iPhone library to iTunes and then, you'll be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes with no problem

  • IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes

    I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
    If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
    I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?

    I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
    1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
    2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
    3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
    Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
    Can someone please Help.

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • Applications no-longer syncing from iPhone to iTunes

    I've had an iPhone 4 since December 2010. Up until a couple of weeks ago it was syncing happily with iTunes and apps purchased/downloaded on the iPhone were transferring over to iTunes every time the phone was connected and a sync initiated. (although, sometimes multiple syncs would be required to make sure all apps transferred; but 'new' apps would appear in the library)
    A couple of weeks ago this stopped. I plug the phone in, select "sync" or "transfer purchases from iPhone" -- the progress bar at the top shows "copying [app name]" and goes through the process for all my new apps. It tends to hang on the last one for 20-30 seconds, before moving onto the rest of the sync process.
    After the "sync complete" message comes up, I check the library (and the file system) and none of the apps it said it was copying have been transferred. A re-sync or re-transfer of purchases shows it copying the same apps over again -- with the same result; nothing appearing in the library.
    I have, therefore, taken to duplicating my downloads in iTunes; if an app is downloaded in iTunes it seems happy syncing that back to the phone (and recognising that the app on the phone is the same as the one in the library).
    However, I'm now in a situation where a bunch of apps will not let me download them without re-purchasing. (i.e. I click on them in iTunes and get the "You WILL be charged for this purchase" message rather than the "you've already bought this, download it free")
    Apps previously downloaded and in the library transfer back to the phone without problem. It's just that apps downloaded on the phone will not transfer.
    I have de-authorised and re-authorised the computer. I have upgraded to the latest versions of the iOS and iTunes (at time of writing that's 4.3.1 and 10.2.1.1). I have cleared sync history. I've deleted and recreated backups. I've turned auto syncing off and on.
    I have not tried the following:
    1)uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it
    2)syncing the phone with iTunes on a different computer
    3)restoring factory settings on the iPhone (surely this would lose me all the applications, including the ones I'm being told I have to re-pay for)
    4)deleting my iTunes library (I do have a backup, but, would it let me delete all the apps and then re-import them from my backup? That said, the backup is missing the apps that won't transfer)
    With most of these, I've not tried it because "I fear I will lose everything"
    As far as I can tell, these problems started occurring when I moved my iTunes library to a removable drive (I have a 180Gb hard drive on my laptop, and coming up to 60Gb of it was being used by iTunes - so I transferred this to a 500Gb removable drive that I make sure I plug in (and has the correct drive letter) prior to starting iTunes or any syncing process)
    I've tried resetting the library location to the default -- it made no difference.
    While I'm "okay with" buying apps on the computer and then transferring them, it isn't ideal -- or the easiest solution; plus it doesn't sort out the apps that are currently refusing to transfer and are prompting for a re-purchase.
    My system is Windows Vista 32bit, 4Gb memory; 500Gb removable drive, 180Gb local hard-drive.
    Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

    As no-one has anything to add (yet); I'll add that this morning I've updated the iOS version to 4.3.2 (which appeared as available over the weekend); currently I'm still unable to transfer purchases (this includes things that I'd previously purchased, transfered to the phone and updated). Additionally, the first few attempts to sync following the update gave me the "not enought space to sync apps" message -- this is dispite itunes reporting around 0.30GB to 0.70GB prior to the sync attempt, and around 1.5 GB following the failed "not enough space" sync. (Right now I'm running a sync again and it looks like iTunes is reporting a correct/realistic amount of space)
    I've not heard anything back from anyone at apple (I flagged the stalling apps in the iTunes app store, which seemed to be the recommended thing to do for apps that were "previously purchased but not available freely to download"); and by the lack of responses here I'm getting the feeling I'm the only one with this problem.
    If something simple like deauthorizing iTunes, uninstalling iTunes, rebooting, re-installing and reauthorizing iTunes would fix it (and wouldn't lose any of my music, apps or videos) then I'd be happy to do that. Again, if I could do a factory settings restore on the phone and have it fixed (and I could get apps and in-app content back without a re-purchase) - then I'd be happy to do that too.
    If the solution would be to use a new install of iTunes on a different computer (authorized as myself, auto-syncing of devices turned off); and then use a "transfer purchases" to copy all the apps (including the problem ones) to the new library -- then using removable media, transfer them back into my library proper -- well -- I'd do that too (I'm sure I can borrow a work PC for a couple of hours to install/transfer)
    My big problem is that I've had no feedback as to whether anything like this would help; whether my purchases would be okay -- and so on. I also don't know why this problem is occuring; is it tied to the problem apps -- if I simply delete them, will the iPhone suddenly start syncing like it used to; or is there someother problem there that I'm not seeing? (As it's now the case that NO apps purchased on the iPhone will transfer, will it simply be the case that all I'll have done is removed a bunch of apps that I can't get back and have the problem still exist?)
    Once again, any ideas?

    If you aren't willing to upgrade your MacOS to something newer than about 5 years old, then consider using BootCamp and Windows, then use a Windows version of iTunes.
    I personally recommend considering the MacOS update.  I have heard reports that if you call Apple on the phone, you might be able to purchase an upgrade to Snow Leopard for $30.  You could always find a friend who has a Mac with Snow Leopard or newer, and sign onto the Mac App store using your ID (but their computer) to buy a license for Lion or Mountain Lion, then after downloading it, use the Lion disc maker to make a bootable USB key to install the newer (and only $30) OS on your hardware.  With that, you would then qualify to run iTunes 10.7 or even iTunes 11.

  • How do I Sync iPod/T to iTunes when iPhone is 'Master'?

    The Situation...
    I have a new iPhone 4S synced to iTunes on my Mac.
    I have an old iPod Touch which was synced to a PC on its own iTunes some years ago but I have not synced it for years to anything.
    The iPhone is synced under one identity, the old iPod is synced on an older one of my identities.
    What I want...
    To sync the iPod Touch with my Mac using the same identity as for my iPhone.
    To get the same iTunes library currently syncing to iPhone to appear on the iPod Touch, i.e it is a perfect mirror or copy on both devices.
    If I purchase a downlaod to play on iPhone - that it then will play on iPod Touch after I synced it (the Touch)
    Do be able to do this without a convaluted complex preocess which takes hours of my time, and without any special additional software
    Your Help?
    Is this even possible?
    How can I do it quickly so t works without messing up my iPhone?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions...

    What is the risk if I follow your sugestion, of me losing data on my iPhone or iTunes?
    None.  I used to do it with my 3G iPod Touch and iPhone 4
    I understand that my Touch is pre 'iOS' and is back on whatever old 'version 2' is or something like that.
    Will the Touch be able to take all this data from iTunes given its old operating system?
    It will only sync what content it understands and can work with.  The rest will be left alone.
    Cold I not just instead create a special 'playlist' on my iTunes dedicated to this Touch (for another reason too - my Touch is only 8Gb and my iPhone is 32Gb!). What I am scared about is what happens when I pulg in my Touch to iTunes for the first time.
    That's definitely one way of doing it. Perhaps this article will be of assistance.
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    So what will I see on my MAc iTunes if I just plugged in that old Touch?
    Your iPod Touch will appear in iTunes.  iTunes will notify you that it must be erased before it can sync with the new iTunes library. So go ahead and let it Erase and Sync.  Even if you do set up the iPod to sync different from the iPhone it will have NO affect on your syncing preferences and such for the iPhone.
    I think I set that Touch up on iTunes on an old PC years ago under a dfferent Apple identity you see - so what shold I see and what should I do when I (if I) pluf that Touch in to my Mac iTunes?
    See above post.  It doesn't matter it was used on a different Apple ID previously. 
    In short, just go ahead and plug it in to your new iTunes library on the Mac.  Take your time and read any prompts that appear.

  • Unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi

    This might be me be being extremely dumb, but I am unable to sync my iphone with itunes over wi-fi. I have itunes 10.5 on windows, have iOS 5. When I plug my phone into my computer I have ticked the box on the device summary screen enabling wi-fi sync but when I go into my iPhone menu, the "sync now" box is greyed out and it just says that it will resume sync when my computer is available.
    Any suggestions>??

    Sign me up for a "me too"
    updated 1 iPad,1 iPod and 2 iPhone4s and sync works on all but my iPhone4
    Each iP* device has it's own Windows 7 system to sync with
    When I unplug the iPad, iPod or other iPhone, the device stays in the devices list in iTunes
    When I unplug my iPhone, it disappears from the devices list (which makes me think it's iTunes being petulant)
    Have tried rebooting bot windows and the iPhone, disabling the firewall and 'repairing' iTunes
    It's a 64 bit windows 7, FWIW, but the other iPhone 4 talks nice to a 64 bit windows 7

    Any idea why the other 3 that i downloaded were not synced in iTunes?

    You and the iPad can function with the Remote App from across the room, or in another room.
    However, your stereo system has to have a way to communicate or connect with the computer.   Unless it has some kind of wifi connector or has Bluetooth, I don't see how you can do this.
    There is no app or software to resolve this.   You need a way for the stereo to connect.
