Sync Space Problems as removed apps being added back

I had a problem with the original laptop in which I had itunes on so I haven't backed up or sync'd my phone for over 6 months. I finally got around to moving the itunes file to another computer. Now when I try to sync my phone it is trying to add the apps back that were deleted off the phone but were still on the last time on itunes backed up of the phone. So now the Apps are being added back and before it can complete the sync it runs out of space and cannot complete the process. Help how can I get around this, thanks.

You'd think that deleting an app from your iPhone and then syncing the iPhone would tell iTunes that you don't want that application on your iPhone any longer - but that isn't what happens. iTunes is your home base for applications and media. You have to tell iTunes what you want added to your iOS device or removed from your iOS device.
My habit is to connect my iOS device and immediately select the option to sync newly purchased items from the device to iTunes. Once that's done I select my device in iTunes and look over the applications and media to see that everything I want/don't want is correctly indicated. Then I sync again.
Step 1 gets all the updated and newly purchased stuff into iTunes. Step 2 makes sure I get only what I want (and exactly what I want) on my device.

Do I still need to sync my phone to remove apps and other content

I used to have to synch my iPhone with iTunes on my computer to remove apps and things like podcasts from my phone so they did not up storage space. Is this still true? I seldom use my computer and just leave iTunes open for household sharing.

None of this will change if you choose to hack your iPhone.
Jailbreaking is considered "Fair Use" by our government and this is the one and only meaningful sense in which it is legal. It is legal, period. Any discussion of license agreements has nothing to do with the legality of jailbreaking.
Apple can have their own terms of use/license agreement and it can (and does) go beyond what the government will allow/disallow. But you risk no civil or criminal penalties for jailbreaking.
And... as already discussed, jailbreaking is not a physical act, not permanent, and you can unjailbreak at any time and Apple would be clueless.
So do that.

My music files keep being removed after being added to iTunes

I have had my macbook for about a year and only recently has it started to remove my music files from its originial folder when i add it to itunes. I have looked at all the settings and can't figure out whats going on. Any advice ???

ITunes can convert the files for you. Set up mp3 as your import format from Edit > Preferences > General tab (enable the menu bar if needed with ALT or CTRL+B), then right-click on a selection of files and use Create MP3 Version.

Upgraded to Firefox 4 browser from 3.7 ..and had problems. Removed it and went back to 3.7. I have Windows XP!

I upgraded to Mozilla Firefox 4 from 3.7. I have Windows XP on my computer, and I had all kinds of problems. I had to remove 4.0 and reinstall 3.7. Will there be improvements made so I can eventually upgrade? Geo Grodesky

Xircal beat me to it. What is wrong? What have you tried.?
Have you used the Help page and the Search Firefox Help box above? If you work your way through the questions and answers you'll see so many common themes - memory usage, buttons combined and moved, Menu Bar gone or no Firefox Button, problematic extensions, Status Bar gone, Incompatible third party toolbars etc.
Sounds a lot but there are so many easy fixes. With some simple customization and a new theme, I've got Firefox working beautifully and looking good, too.
Do you know about Firefox Safe Mode and New profile as tests for more difficult problems with your setup, rather than Firefox.
I'm just a an occasional passer-by but there are expert volunteers here eager to help. You need to make the effort now or before long Fx3 will not be supported and you'll need to make the jump to Fx5 or 6. I can't see Mozilla reversing many changes.
I hope I've caught the attention of other users, too.

Can Store and apps be added back to Windows 10 Enterprise?

I had a hardware failure (storage controller in VM environment) during a mailbox move request to a new DB. After fixing that and rebooting, the old database came up and is fine which is great. The new database is in a dirty shutdown state right now with a few completed but most are still queued or in progress. If I try to remove the request on the completed mailboxes it has a message along the lines of, couldn't connect to mailbox database, it could be dismounted. Do you want to orphan the move request for user XYZ?
Will this cause any problems? I would like to remove the move requests and proceed recovery and repair of the dismounted DB. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Josh

Was reading though the windows 10 EULA and there is an expansion of a previous restriction.
What it says you can't do with windows 10:
Section 2 c (v):
use the software as server software, for commercial hosting, make the software available for simultaneous use by multiple users over a network, install the software on a server and allow users to access it remotely, or install the software on a device for use only by remote users;
Windows 8.1 Pro for comparison has this:The software is not licensed to be used as server software or for commercial hosting, so you may not make the software available for simultaneous use by multiple users over a network.You can understand why they would add these new restrictions to make people pay for Server OS when...

Preventing help files being added to start menu after installing an application in windows 8.1 enterprise

Hi Guys
when we install an Application in windows 8 family, we see that in addition of Application executable file, user manuals (.chm) and PDF & other files related to that App are added to start menu (when we click down Arrow which shows all programs) and
so the start menu gets quit messy.
is there any settings to make only applications executable file be added to start menu & prevent other types of files related to that App being added here?
thanks in advanced

Hi John,
This issue is related to the programs package we installed.
• An installation package contains all of the information that the Windows Installer requires to install or uninstall an application or product and to run the setup user interface.
• The developer can specify installation context, and based on these properties, Windows Installer automatically redirects the values of folder properties and registrations to locations.
• The shortcut is added to the profile by these context
We could right click these file and could find out they are the shortcut mentioned above.
For more information about Windows Installer, please refer to the following article.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
Now this doesnt work.
The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
This doesnt work either.
I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
Im running:
Macbook Air 2012
OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

Have read posts re the iOS 6.1 mess up... but how do I fix this? It says 6.1.1 is there to correct this problem but it is not on iTunes to download. I cannot updte apps, download apps and have had to remove apps because they keep crashing! Very angry!

I cannot update apps, download apps and have had to remove apps because they keep crashing!
I have turned off, removed apps, tried to reinstall them. iTunes can't download them either, the updates for them won't work.
Never had problems with iPhones until now and this has really annoyed me... Apps have cost me money have had to go because they won't function
the error messages say that data cannot be downloaded at this time and it is ot because I do not have free space because I have removed items to make sure there is room!

What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

How do i prevent removed apps from syncing when connecting to iTunes

I've "removed" apps from my iPad to free up space but when I connect to my computer, the apps "appear" to still sync.
To the upper right of the screen, it will show there are 65 apps (I removed 20 apps). These are active apps and that is correct When I click on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (the Apps section), it shows there are 85 apps taking up space on my iPad.
Also, where the apps are listed, the apps that were "removed" from my iPad air have an option to "Install". I don't understand why they're still syncing. TIA for your help!

This does not help but it does offer some insight. I have NEVER noticed this before. Take a look at the dialog box in the is screenshot. Note that it says that even if the app is deleted from the iTunes library, it will not be removed for any iOS devices when you sync.
As an experiment, I deleted the AOL On app from my iTunes library and followed the prompts to put the app in the trash - not keep it in the mobile sync folder. I synced my iPad - and the app is still on the device even though it does NOT appear in my list of apps in iTunes when the iPad is connected and selected. I have never seen that happen before.
If the app is not in your library, I always assumed that it would be erased when you sync since it is no longer in iTunes. I deleted the app in iTunes and then deleted it on the iPad and then synced again and now it is gone everywhere.
Bizarre....

Syncing removed apps and settings cannot get some apps, settings and scores back

When syncing with iTunes 10.1.1 it removed apps after backup and sync, I lost settings , apps and scores
Tried restore did not work. Using W7

No significant changes to PC, upgrades to newer version of iTunes and patches to OS. No warning about apps being removed, most apps are re- installed by dragging from iTunes back to phone but lost strings and scores also one app from big fish games seems to think I have not purchased full version
Thanks

IPad - removing apps problem

Why am I getting a message saying that the iPad doesn't have enough free space, when I am removing apps to make more space? It is plugged into my Macbook, and i hit Sync, then get this message.

You are syncing to remove apps and you are getting a message that you don't have enough free space to remove apps...is that what you are saying. That doesn't make sense.

Typekit desktop sync removes rather then adding font

I am encountering a very strange problem.
I had used typekit desktop sync which worked fine. In the middle of creating a document the font suddenly stopped working. As I try to work through this problem, I notice when I try to readd the font (after removing it) it consistently says "5 font files have been removed" even though I just selected them to sync to the desktop.
Instead of adding them when desktop syncing is selected, it removes them (even though they were never present). It is very strange and I could not find a topic relating to this.
Any ideas?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.
