Synced Apps from iTouch to PC - Apps gone from iTouch

I just purchased an iTouch for my wife and set up some basic apps for her before giving it to her. In iTunes, I synced the apps I purchased with my PC and the apps then disappeared from the iTouch. How do I get these apps back on the iTouch? I see them in the PC on the iTunes page...but see no way to get them back to iTouch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Were all the apps purchased from the same iTunes account? From your description it sounds like different iTunes accounts are used. Have you tried authorizing the computer for the accounts?

Syncing apps from one itouch to another

hello i am new to the ipod touch. i was wondering if i can synch apps from a friends ipod touch to mine and play them or do you need to buy the apps from itunes. If you can synch how do i do that.

It's not possible to sync direct from iPod touch to iPod touch (not iTouch).
There's a good reason for that - copying paid-for applications and games that are not yours is called software piracy and is illegal. Same as it is for music, movies and desktop programs.

A friend of mine conected my iphone to her itunes..all my apps where gone,i got hers and since then i cannot sync anything from my itunes to iphone..please help

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?

Cant sync apps onto Itouch, symbols are grey

When I downloaded apps from Itunes, I couldnt sync the apps into my itouch, the symbols are grey. Why and what can I do about it? ( I recently upraded my Itouch to IOS 5.0.1,and I cant sync apps since then.)
the picture is somewhat vague,the black parts are the apps that I can use, the greys ones I cant use them, I cant find them on my Itouch either.
Thanks for your help.

- Do you have restrictions set that preven syncing the apps? (Settings>General>Restrictions)
- Is the computer authorized for the account that purchased the app?
- Is this the computer you last synced with?

Syncing apps only from mac to iphone

Hello
I've gone though all my apps in itunes on my mac and deleted all the ones I no longer need.
I now have a tidy much smaller list.
I would like to sync this new list, and in doing so, remove any others from both my ipad and iphone.
The end goal is an identical list of apps across all three.
Problem is, I do not have a 'sync apps only' option. If I choose sync it starts copying across images, mail etc.
I have selected the iphone on the left, I go to apps, then I have whats on the iphone.
I just want to sync the list thats on my mac
Do I really have to export a list from itunes, then manually cross refer and delete one by one from the iphone to get a copy?
Possible?
Any help much appreciated. Spent a good while searching the net, yet I do not have the 'sync apps' option.

There's no way that I know of for syncing signatures from mac to device.

How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

How do I delete all or multiple synced apps from iTunes where the app has already been removed from iPad?

I have recently purchased the latest iPad and been trying lots of apps. These apps are synced with iTunes on a regular basis. I want to delete synced apps from my iTunes backup that I have removed from my iPad.
I am aware of a manual way of removing apps from the iTunes backup but it is far too painful and cumbersome. You have to select the iPad under devices, click the apps tab up the top, and then see which items are not ticked (which runs very slow I might add, but it is a big list). After noting them down, I then visit the apps section under library on the left, highlight all the unwanted apps, right click and delete.
Unless there is some special way of doing this that I am un aware of, it would be really helpful if the libary application view had a column which informed me which ones were still on my iPad. I could then sort by that column, and then delete all the removed apps.

Yes, delete all the apps currently in iTunes, then transfer all the apps currently on the iPad back into iTunes. Of course it will take some time to sync the apps back into iTunes, but it satisfies your desire to remove all apps from iTunes that are not on your iPad without the need to laboriously note what is and is not there. In fact as a bonus after removing all the apps from iTunes you could open the ..\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder and delete any remaining orphaned files that might still be there, before you transfer purchases.

How can I prevent iTunes 12 from syncing apps?

I know that syncing apps to your computer backs the app(s) up so you don't have to download the apps all over again, but for me it doesn't hurt to start all over downloading all the apps one by one. I have an iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2, one day I started syncing the iPhone to the latest version of iTunes 12 on my Mac running Lion (10.7.5). I was trying to sync new music onto the phone but iTunes insisted on syncing all 50 or so apps, half of them about 500MB or more, then on the halfway mark iTunes would not respond, I force quitted, reopen iTunes, and get a popup saying "The iTunes Library.itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." I had to grab all of my music, books, and tones folder to my desktop, delete my iTunes library folder, and rebuild my iTunes library all over again putting all of my media back into the iTunes library folder. I did this so many times, sync, quit, rebuild library and get the same results. This irritates me because not only does it consume time, but it takes up space on my mac. Is there any way to prevent iTunes from syncing all of my apps to my Mac?

There are services.sync.prefs.sync prefs related to which prefs to sync and you can set the corresponding services.sync pref to false to prevent syncing that pref.
You can set the pref services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

ITunes 11.0.2 is forcing me to sync apps from my iPhone into my Mac AGAIN. This is the new version of iTunes so there is no option to uncheck syncing Apps- how do I stop it from copying apps into my Mac?

I'm using iTunes 11.0.2 on my Macbook Air running Lion, to sync with my iPhone 5. With this latest release of iTunes, there's no option to uncheck syncing of apps. For a while now, iTunes have been working fine- it didn't sync apps from my iPhone to my Mac... until this morning. I only have Podcasts sync checked and every day, I just plug in my iPhone and click Sync and it worked great- it only copied my podcasts to the phone.
Today, I did the same thing- downloaded new podcasts, plugged in my phone, and clicked Sync. It backed up my data, copied my podcasts, and THEN it starts to copy all the apps from my iPhone into my Mac. This is the first time it's doing this- I'm sure the team removed that feature from this latest iTunes and I think this is a bug. I unchecked the Apps checkbox from Library in Preferences- I click sync, and again it starts to sync all the apps, AND the Apps checkbox becomes checked again.
I've restarted iTunes many times and rebooted, didn't work.

I have the same problem on both my iPad and my iPhone and it also started with iTunes 10.0.2.

Just Updated my iPod Touch operating system to 6.0.1, but it no longer downloads from the iTunes store or syncs apps!

Earlier this week I updated my Ipod to 6.0.1 and since then I have tried to download several videos, songs, and apps, and on the download screen it just says "waiting..." .
Also, it won't let me sync apps from my PC, it just shows them loading, then underneath says "waiting.." - though it must be sais I have had no problem with music or videos.
Could Someone please explain how I can get items to download to my ipod again!
Thank You!

Syncing Apps from Iphone

Hey world wide internets.
My dilemma is that when I set up my iphone after restoring, itunes didn't automatically select to sync my apps with my PC. Happily unaware of this I have downloaded well over 3.6g of apps to my iphone. However now I want to update my Iphone to the latest software and upon attempting to do so I was alerted that I should sync my apps first. Although when I go to select the sync apps button it states that all the apps off my iphone + their associated saved information will be replaced with the apps from my itunes library! And when I do select this option it shows me what my iphone home screen will look like... it is default! I really want to update and I want to keep my apps. I know it used to say upon syncing 'Would you like to transfer app purchases to itunes' - obviously doesnt because I didn't tell it to in the beginning...
Is there a way to transfer all my apps off my iphone to itunes?

With your phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

Syncing apps FROM IPHONE TO ITUNES!!!

The Iphone allows you to download apps onto the phone __from the phone__ but I can't find how to sync those apps I bought via the phone with apps in my Itunes library...???!~!!! It appears as though I will loose those apps if I upgrade my software version.

And after transferring purchases from your iPhone and confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. Select Apply.
Now after downloading an app direct with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.

Syncing Apps from Iphone to Itunes and vice versa, quick question.

Hello, so I had a small question to ask about transferring apps from both the iphone to itunes.
Basically, I downloaded an app from the app store ON my iphone.
I've made a lot of progress and have a lot of data in this app.
The(Sync app) box was never checked on my itunes, so I transferred my purchases from my iphone to my itunes, and now i've downloaded a few more apps (over 20mb) ON itunes that I want to put on my iphone.
Thing is, when I click "sync apps" it gives me a warning saying something along the lines of "Apps in itunes will replace all in iphone, including data"
Now, i've already transferred my purchases, so all the apps from my phone are on itunes, but if I sync, will I lose the DATA in my apps on my iphone? Or will the data remain in those apps?
Basically, will syncing my apps replace my settings/data/progress of the apps I have on my iphone?

There is no data in the apps themselves. Your app data is stored in the backup file iTunes creates. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
From Page 179 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iphone_userguide.pdf, "You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data."
So, make a backup before you click the "Sync apps button. Then, you may have to restore your phone from that backup to reload the data.

Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

Hi,
I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
But the folder are not synced.
If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.

Syncing Apps from iPhone 3 to iPhone 4

I've just upgraded my phone 3 to 4 and managed to sync all my personal info apart from my purchased Apps. They no longer appear.
How do I get them back??

All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps. Did you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone 3G or 3GS sync preferences with iTunes? If so, all apps installed on your 3G or 3GS should be in your iTunes library. If not, you need to transfer the apps from your 3G or 3GS to your iTunes library followed by selecting Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone 4 sync preferences with iTunes, selecting the apps below that you want installed on your iPhone 4 followed by a sync.
