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.
Fully up to date with the latest

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

  • Handoff works only from Mac to Iphone

    Then handoff from Mac to iPhone is not working but does work from iPhone to Mac.
    It used to work previously but haven't used it in a while until I needed to yesterday.
    I've tried resets and so forth but no luck getting it to work from Mac to iPhone.
    There is one thing that bugs me and that is the wifi part. Handoff worked (& currently works from iPhone to Mac) without turning wifi on (turning it on does not solve the issue). Should it work without wifi?
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,
    Leonardo

    it appears that you are not alone...i have been using Handoff since it started and have just noticed that today it is not working....I have a macbook, iPhone and Mac and usually it is working fine between all three, but today it appears that it is not...
    interestingly, yesterday I got a random notice that i was signed out of iCloud..when in fact I wasn't...dont know if there is something bigger going on.  i've tried turning handoff off and on again but nothing.  don't really want to start signing out as i don't know what i have stored on my mac

  • Yosemite iOS8 airdrop only from mac to iphone.

    I Have a Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013 with yosemite installed, and a iphone 6 with iOS8.
    My problem is on my macbook airdrops work fine, i can see my iphone and i can send a file from my macbook to the iphone, But not the other way around.
    On my iphone i can't see my macbook under airdrop. i have tried change the option only contacts or all, both on the mac and iphone. that doesn't help anything.
    i have tried turning off the firewall. that doesn't help anything.

    Nice you worked that out, but i have tried this. It's not working for me. I permanently get "connection unsuccessful.
    After the iphone found your macbook, does it work all the time or only when you pair it.?
    This is a screenshot from my macbook.
    go to About this mac > System Report > Bluetooth.
    Discoverable: Off
    I'am wondering if that has anything to do with why the iphone can't find the macbook.

  • Can't sync new contacts from Mac to iPhone with 2.0.2

    Hi
    I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. After that, I added some new contacts to my Mac. They are not sync'ed to my iPhone. The 'old' contacts are though: I erased my contacts from my iPhone and re-synced, and all the contacts that were there before I updated the software came back to my iPhone.
    Note that it works from the iPhone to the Mac: I added a new contact to my iPhone, after the system update, and found them in my Mac rapidly after.
    How bizarre is that??
    Of course, I checked, and my contacts are checked on in the MobileMe page of the iPhone.
    Any idea/help?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    @ Laurent P.
    Some things to try.
    Reset Sync History. To do this on a Mac, open iSync in your Applications folder. Once open, click the iSync menu and choose Preferences. Small window opens with a Reset Sync History button. Does not delete any data, just don't expect your next sync to be super quick.
    Also, under the Info tab in iTunes, choose the Advanced option of replacing everything on the iPhone with what is on the computer. If it works, be sure to uncheck that setting. I think it is a one time check only thing, but be sure.
    Wait...
    I just noticed you said MobileMe...if you use MobileMe to sync your stuff, flip Contacts Off then back On. If that doesn't work, delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone and re-add it.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset (both buttons for about 10 sec. ignore slide to power off), and reset network settings.
    Also, does the Mac contacts show up in MobileMe? If they don't, go to System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync tab and check your settings. Perform a sync too. Under the Advanced button you can Reset Sync Data and choose to replace MobileMe stuff with stuff on your computer or vice versa.

  • How do I sync certain songs from Mac to iPhone?

    I have a Mac and my husband and I both have iPhone's therefore we have a lot of music on our computer and I do not want to have it all on my phone.  I have tried in the past to pick and choose songs from the computer to the phone but I just can't seem to figure it out properly.  If you can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!

    Make a playlist and sync that playlist to your iphone.

  • Can we download apps only from Mac App Store ?

    In windows, there is nothing like an App Store. We can simply download apps from anywhere and even pirated apps work smoothly. Is it the same for OS X as well? I might buy a MacBook this month so I wanted to know this.
    Thank you!

    Mac App Store is an option, not required.
    It's unwise and unethical to download pirated software.

  • Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs.  What am I doing wrong?

    I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
    Where are the extra songs coming from?
    The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
    Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
    Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
    I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
    When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
    Uncheck the "Sync Music" box.  Accept the "Are You Sure ...".  That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right.  (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
    Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs.  Do what you like with them.
    Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply.  That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

  • Can't transfer apps from Mac to iPhone using iTunes

    I need to transfer an app from my Mac to my iPhone because the vendor bodged an update. I've deleted the broken app from the iPhone and now want to sync apps with my Mac as it has a working copy of the app. However when I go to the syncing screen there are no apps visible:
    But my Apps are all there on the Mac:
    Don't know when the problem started as I normally keep the apps up to date on each device over wifi.
    Any ideas chaps?

    Apps you purchase from the Mac App Store can only run on the Mac OS X.
    Apps purchased from the iTunes store run on iOS based devices such as your iPod.
    In other words, you can't run the game for your Mac then copy it to your iPod.  Two differenct operating systems.

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.
