Syncing a single app onto itouch 3.1.3

i recently downloaded an app off of a forum site, and i tried to sync the app onto my itouch, but it said it couldn't complete the sync, and it gave me an error message. any help?

You should only always download apps from the iTunes store. Unless the link redirected you to the store; that would be a different story.

  • Syncing iPad-loaded Apps Onto iTunes; Loading Them to iPhone

    Problem: I'd like to move apps purchased on the iPad to iTunes, so that I can then load those (iPhone) apps onto the iPhone.
    Syncing the iPad to the iTunes computer doesn't seem to do it.
    ETA: iTunes is on a PC.
    Ideas?
    ETA Answer: In iTunes, right clicking on the iPad device, select "Transfer Purchases." That did the trick.

    If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with your iPad, the app should be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPad with iTunes after doing so.
    If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, with your iPad selected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. After this, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
    After transferring the apps to your iTunes library, the apps will be available under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer selected apps to your iPhone. Select the apps you want installed on your iPhone followed by a sync.

  • 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?

  • HT1386 Everytime I Try To Sync Music Or Apps Onto Ipads Or Ipods, itunes Keeps Telling Me To Authorize My Computer.  When I Do Authorize My Computer, It Then Tells Me That The Computer Is Not Authorized.  What Do i Do Now ?!

    Please Help !!

    Hey TYellowknee01,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes Authorization when syncing your devices. The following articles provide the most relevant troubleshooting:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • How can I sync only certain apps after a restore instead of all of them?

    I've been serisouly frustrated with iTunes trying to find a way to sync only the apps I want to sync. But iTunes insists that I sync every single app I have downloaded in the past to my phone and I don't want all of them on there. Now after restoring I have a bunch of apps on my phone waiting to sync and now have to either restore again or individually delete all 155 of them. Are there certain settings I'm missing here?  Please help!!

    Thanks for the help I did not receive
    Hey, glad I didn't help.
    I mean, you waited a whole 38 minutes for someone to volunteer their assistance.
    FYI:
    Select the iPhone in iTunes.
    Click the Apps tab.
    Click Sync apps and tick the apps you want to sync.
    Click Apply at bottom.
    You're welcome.
    After literally digging for forever.
    Something less than 38 minutes is forever? (time it took to post first question, find answer, get upset and post 2nd time).
    Oh, and thanks for posting how you resolved the issue so others (who may not get an immediate reply) will know how to solve a similar issue without getting upset.

  • Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

    I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
    Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
    Thank you in advance.
    Brian.

    Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

  • Ive downloaded some apps onto my pc yet only 1 has synced to my ipad, it says something about theres a problem with my billing, yet I purchased the 1 app I got for $20, but 1 free app and another paid, wont sync, i di have money in my account

    Right click on your iPad's name in the iTunes app on your computer and choose to transfer purchases. That should transfer anything that you have bought with the App Store app on the iPad to the iTunes app on your computer.

  • HT201269 I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another

    I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another phone, and if you try to sync, you will lose all of the information on the iPhone." I am a Windows user. This Sync process is VERY confusing.

    How can I possibly get these two new ringtones onto the iPhone without wiping out everything else on the phone? This Sync process is nuts.
    I have Backed Up the phone twice. Why would iTunes try to wipe out the phone?

  • HT204053 when i get my itouch repaired if i lose anything will the iCloud will be able to sync back my apps and music back on, if so how?

    when i get my itouch repaired if i lose anything will the iCloud will be able to sync back my apps and music back on, if so how?

    Create an iCloud backup before sending it in for repair.  Also consider making a second backup on your computer using iTunes (connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer purchases).  If you have photo stream photos that you want to save, save them to your camera roll before backing up and they will be backed up too.
    When you get it back from repair, restore the backup as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.  Your iPod should then look just as it does now.

  • Unable to sync apps onto iPhone 4

    Hey guys,
    Just recently, I haven't been to sync some of my apps from iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4. Whenever I try to sync them on, I get a message reading "Unable to install the app "[insert name]" onto the iPhone "[insert name]" because its resources have been modified. I haven't been playing around with any app modifications, and my iPhone is not jailbroken.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, and even deleting from the iTunes library and redownloading the apps, but I still keep on getting the same message.
    The only way that I am able to get some of these apps onto my iPhone has been to download directly onto my iPhone, but I can't do that with larger apps (200mb+), even with Wifi.
    Any help guys?
    Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please?

  • Why ipad reloads every single app when syncing?

    I've had a really annoying problem and I don't know why it's happening. My ipad has iCloud back up turned on, but if I connect to itunes to add a new app for example, when I press apply, iTunes resyncs every single app on my ipad which takes 2hours or more.
    What on earth is going on here? It never used to happen before iTunes 10, can't tell you how annoying it is, as it means i cannot manage my apps manually anymore.
    Thanks

  • Had iPad apps on iTouch and they ran fine. synced several times

    I have a new iPod iTouch. I have downloaded several  iPad apps on iTouch and they ran fine. I synced several times with not a problem.  Now the iPad apps have disappeared off my iPod ITouch. I have not deleted them and the iPad apps remain in my library.  Not sure why they have disappeared and I can't get them to download back to iTouch. I have deleted the iPad apps from my library and re-downloaded but they won't sync.  I had a previous iOS and updated to iOS6.1.3 version.
