Syncing apps before 401 upgrade
Hi,
I've purchased loads of apps via the app store on my phone and have it set up how I like it. When I connect to iTunes it asks me if I want to install ISO401 and warns me to back up my apps - sound advice.
When I go to the apps tab in for my phone in iTunes on my PC and select "sync apps" it warns me "are you sure - all existing apps and their data on the iphone will be replaced by apps from this iTunes library".
Does this mean the apps I have downloaded directly onto the phone will be lost? Some of these are huge downloads, I don't want to have to do them again. And I don't want to have to mess around with setting up all the data again.
Help.
Every time you sync they should be getting synced to your computer. You should also ensure you are logged into the iTunes store on your computer so it knows your account info to match to what was used on phone when you downloaded them direct (this normally isn't issue as default is iTunes keeps you logged into store).
But try the Transfer Purchased Content from File menu before syncing and see what it does.

My ipod touch 4g wont let me sync apps.
I want to sync apps to my ipod but it won't let me!!
I have successfully synced apps before but just recently, i thought something was wrong because the app store dissappeared from my ipod home pages and it wouldn't let me delete apps (by holding on them and waiting for them to start shaking and by pressing the 'X' delete button).
So after this i went on the web and found out i could do it on itunes by going to my ipod and pressing the apps tab along the top. I did this and deleted the apps I didn't want.
I went to then put on some different apps and it wouldn't let me. I tried dragging the apps into the ipod as usuall but it wouldn't work. it would have what i was dragging but whenever i hovered it over my ipod it would come up with a little red stop sign on top of the app. I then went to the apps page on my ipod and it didn't look right.
As you can see it is all opaque. I didin't think it was meant to be like this. As you can see, i have .71 GB free which is usually more than enough for a couple of apps but for the problem. I dont know what to do. Please Help.no that is all good
i have no restrictions
the computer is authorized
the ipod is signed into the account
i really dont know whats going on.
i can also download apps from the app store on the ipod now but not through the computer on itunes -
Before I upgraded to iOS 6, there was a way to hide an application on my phone. When you did this is only showed up in Featured Apps in the App Store and specifically, would only appear in "Hidden Apps". Also, the app wouldn't show up at all on my device when I sync to the computer. I can't figure out how to hide an app anymore. Can anyone help? Oh and I'm talking about purchased apps...not the ones that come standard with the iPhone.
Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

I cannot get apps I purchased now sitting on my pc onto my iphone. They were there before I upgraded to 6.0.1. I backed them up on my pc and I can see the apps are all there. But after syncing they still don't appear on my phone.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.

Never synced before just upgraded and lost everything
Hi,
I tried upgrade my friend's phone on the another person's computer.
Successed.. Upgrading but I lost all contects and photos. I tried to back up and restore but i couldn't.
The phone i upgraded never synced before.
Is there anyway i can have photos and contacts back? Plz help meThis does not happen without ample warning. The first warning provided is the iPhone is associated with another iTunes library. This must be followed by manually selecting Sync Music under the Music tab or Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer and when doing so, a warning is provided indicating that doing so will erase all iTunes content on the iPhone first. This involves iTunes content on the iPhone only - everything on the iPhone is not erased with doing so.
Unless Sync Photos is selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer along with selecting photos on the computer's hard drive to be transferred to the iPhone followed by a sync, photos transferred from the computer the iPhone is normally synced with are not erased from the iPhone, nor are any photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, which are not included with the iTunes sync process.
Unless Sync Contacts is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer and a supported address book application on the computer is selected, contacts on the iPhone are not touched. The same for Safari bookmarks and calendar events.
The iPhone's backup does not include any iTunes content - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps, and the backup does not include any photos transferred from your computer. All iTunes content on the iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - the computer the iPhone is normally synced with. All photos transferred from the computer the iPhone is normally synced with should remain on that computer as well.
Where is your husband's computer? Forget about his sister's computer. He needs his computer to restore all content on his iPhone as it was before. -
Why can't I back-up my apps before upgrade after I've authorized the computer?
I'm trying to update my dad's phone and it would not let me transfer his apps to this computer even after I have authorized the computer several times. ( its the third computer out of five. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. There are 26 apps and I dont want to lose them all, I would like them to be backed up before I upgrade to ios 5.
-gregIs it because I'm using a new computer from the one I originally synced my old 3G with?
Ya think? -
Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?
The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

I'm using an iphone 4S with IOS 6. Before the upgrade I was able to share thigns from my news feed on facebook and change pictures (profile, cover) from my phone. After upgrading I cannot share or change pictures or articles. I've tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing fb app, but no success. Would appreciate any help, suggestions...Cheers
I've never been able to share FaceBook posts nor seen the option using the iOS FaceBook app regardless the FaceBook app and iOS version. I can Like and I can Comment, and if I select a link or video to view under iOS 6, I can use the Share option for the link or video, but not for a post.

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps with ios7
Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

Using iPhone 3G ,Version 4.2.1,Modem Firmware 06.15.00, In this phone i was using Facebook upgraded app and Smart Sync App. Suddenly my sisiter reset all setings and now I can't use the upgraded facebook app, for smart sync is asking for IOS 4.3,Need help.
Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

No app store after upgraded iPhone 4 to ios5. Can't sync apps in iTunes
App Store not appearing on iPhone after upgrading to iOS5. Not able to select 'sync apps' in iTunes while iPhone is displayed & all other tabs able to be modified.
Okay, so I tried something different... I deleted all of the music from itunes (but not the files themselves), then copied my entire music libray to a new folder, then reset the "sync history". I imported all of the music from the new location into itunes, then dragged it onto the iphone. I then got the message:
"are you sure that you want to replace all of the songs on the iphone "xxxxx" with songs from this library?"
I clicked "replace songs", but still, nothing transfered. -
How can I change the Chinese characters back to English appear on the bottom icons after clicking the App Store icon on the iPad? It was in English before I upgrade to iOS5.
Is the address on your account based in France ? The language of the stores should reflect the language of the country where your account is based, which isn't necessarily the same language as you've set on the device.
If your account isn't based in a French spealing country, then try logging out of the account (via Settings > Store) and then log back in (and also make sure that your address is correct and complete), and see if the language of the iTunes and App Store the reflect the language of the country where your account is based. -
I have just upgraded my ipad to ios 5.1.1. I did a backup to itunes before the upgrade. I have been able to get my books & music back onto my ipad but how do I get my apps back onto my ipad?
If the apps are not on your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Transfer Purchases prior to starting the update ?), then you could try downloading them to your computer (re-downloading) and then restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.
