Syncing and apps not showing up

HELP! I have purchased several new apps and hit sync. It syncs, then computer says "backing up iPOD" At this point, things just appear "stuck" It sits in backup mode forever, never making any progress. If I go to the iPod, none of the newly purchased apps show up (after sync). Have successfully downloaded apps before. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

When your computer says "backing up ipod" click the x button next to where it says it. It should skip the backing up process and install the apps. This worked for me and hopefully it might work for you

IPhone4 will not sync and does not show up in a device list.

My son's phone was originally listed under my Apple ID.
He has since created a new one and says he removed it.
He is now trying to go under mine again but Itunes does not recognize his phone is plugged in.
I tried checking his other id and it doesn't show any devices registered.
I read on here that it should show any device and when it was registered so you couldn't do the switch within 90 days.
I also checked mine and it doesn't show registered on there either.
I just want to sync it with my apple ID.
We have tried all the troubleshooting steps on here with the phone as well as uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the Mac.... and NOTHING.
Any suggestions????
Thank you!

Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

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?

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

HFM and Planning apps not showing up in workspace..

Hi All
We recently had the SSL certificate expired and after we renewed them, and restarted all the services, the HFM and Planning apps are not showing up in workspace Navigate->Applications. When I click on Classic Administration -> Consolidation Administration or Planning Administration , I get the following error.
"Please make sure that the Application you are trying to launch is registered with SharedServices.Shared Services must be running for the feature you are trying to access.Close the current browser window and try logging into workspace again after a little while.Contact your administrator for further information."
I also cannot open the HFM app in "Projects" in HSS, but can open Planning apps. ( not sure if that helps)
I m able to open the Planning and HFM apps using the Direct links, (not through workspace) and able to login and perform any task with in the application.
The issue looks more like workspace is not able to communicate with Foundation or shared services.
Can you tell me what would be the reason for apps not showing up in the Workspace and a possible resolution?
Thanks in Advance.
Raghu.

Synced videos do not show up on iPod

Every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, although iTunes says the videos are synced, they do not show up in the Video app on the iPod.
This is a fairly new problem. All these videos have been synced before and they all showed up just fine in the Video app, but as of late the iPod does not show them. Searching for them yields no results.
The videos are in a compatible format and do not have an extremely high definition. Again, I do not think the problem is with the videos, because previously I was able to view them all just fine.
I have at least 1G of memory left, 2G without syncing the videos.
I have erased and re-synced them in iTunes, to no avail. I can play the videos on the iPod from iTunes, but not on the actual iPod device. I'm using windows iTunes, and it is up to date. The iPod software is up to date. I don't want to do a restore because I've already done that multiple times for multiple issues, but if that's what I have to do, I will. It's a pretty old iPod. I'm syncing with a third-party Duracell cable, but I really don't think that's the problem.
I'm not sure what it means, but in iTunes I have checked the option that reads, "Prefer standard definition videos". Syncing with that option unchecked changes nothing so far as I can tell.
Thanks for all your help!

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

The option to sync wirelessly is not showing up on the summary tab

The option to sync wirelessly is not showing up on the summary tab when iphone is connected. Does anyone know why?

Here is a simple example
This square starts like this
No normaly once selected like that when you "grab the corner" the scroll bar will come up and adjust dimensions of the entire square. But when I do it it only changes one side like this
I want it to adjust all sizes like it used too without having to pull each individual corner to have a flat perspective.

Apps not showing in notification settings

I just bought my iPhone 6 two days ago. Running IOS 8.1.2
Why is some of my apps not showing in the notification settings.
Downloaded 15 games only 10 showing in the notification settings.
When I first download the apps and run it. It does not pop out any request to allow notification.

Is it the same apps or do they change? If it the same ones - it may be a developer issue
Do you know if an app that is not showing in the notification center of your phone shows up on someone else's iphone notification center?

I can't seem to get this. Sorry for being slow. I have created the 30 second ringtone, and it's in a ringtone folder under Devices (my phone). It's in the folder and if I double click it, it plays fine, etc. However, I can't, after syncing, find it on my Iphone4. Maybe I'm not syncing correctly, or I just don't know where to find it on the phone. I assume I have to find it on the phone in order to select it as my ringtone. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
