Syncing music says will delete apps on iphone

I'm trying to sync music to my IPhone 4 and when I select songs and choose 'apply' a warning message pops up that says 'Are you sure you want to delete x number of apps from IPhone? This will delete the apps and their data? Cancel or Remove'
Has anyone else had this? Am I just not syncing things correctly? My apps are set to sync automatically, I haven't changed anything to do with Apps settings during this sync...
Thanks!

I have tried that but, as the apps does not appear in my iTunes, im not able to download them again. Then i will have to buy them (new) again and some of them not longer excist on iTunes store.
best regards
Mikkel

ICal sync- alert says will delete all past entries- Yes, I have my Keep Appointments set to "forever" AND I've tried changing the date range in desktop mgr- HELP

I just did the update for the software on the 8530. This is a new problem since the update. I cannot lose my old entries, so I am unable to sync at all now until Blackberry addresses this bug.
I have read through all of the "fixes" but none of them work.
My Keep Appointments setting has always (and I verified is still) set to "forever"
I went into the advance settings on the MAC desktop software from Blackberry and tried changing the date range to the suggested 14 days past and 365 days future. I even tried changing the past days parameter to "1" in hopes it would simply ignore old entries... It still wants to delete 435 past entries.
I have to keep these.
Help, Blackberry! Your "update" to the software is overriding my settings and has made the sync function unusable.

Christina,
Thanks for the reply. I unchecked all calendars in iCal and synced and it still gave me the same notice. So then I went into the iTunes window and checked the sync only certain calendars box (instead of the all calendars box) and left all the calendars unchecked and clicked apply but when I click on sync it automatically reverts to all calendars.
When you say you unchecked all calendars did you mean in iCal? And what did you have your iCal settings at in your iTunes sync window?
I appreciate your help,
Andrea

i am unable to sync music from my computer to my iphone 4S i receive an error message stating that it requires 11.1 or later and that i need to go to the itunes website to download that, ive done that and still am unable to proceed.

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

Cant sync music,says the required disk can not be found

cant sync music,says the required disk can not be found

What are you trying to sync your iPad ot? Your question s a little misleading, meaning if you are out of the U.S. - that implies to me that you live in the U.S. and your computer is here, so once again - what are trying to sync to?
If you are trying to sync to another computer and I assume it would be your own computer - try another USB port on the computer. Before you attempt to sync again - Quit iTunes and reboot your computer.

HT3775 how do you sync music from the computer to my iphone,thank you for your help?

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO SYNC MUSIC FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY IPHONE 4
THANK YOU

Connect the device using USB and open iTunes.
You can add nearly anything from email accounts, photos, movies and your music.

I had installed some applications on my iphone from my friend's pc, but now when i downloaded some apps on my pc andtry to sync it says the installed apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one from my pc. how can i retain all and copy new apps

I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
now when i downlaoded some apps on my pc and try to sync , it says that the existing apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one in my itune library.
what is the way that i can have the existing apps on my iphone to remain and also install new apps when i download without losing the installed ones

I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
Were these apps downloaded via your own iTunes AppStore account or your friends?
now when i downlaoded some apps on my pc and try to sync , it says that the existing apps on my iphone would be replaced by the one in my itune library.
That's correct. iTunes will delete any apps you have not downloaded through your own iTunes account. If you did use your own iTunes account, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases... to move the apps into your own iTunes Library.

Re-download the apps through your own iTunes account (pay for them if necessary). Apps cannot be shared between different iTunes user accounts.

Ipad - Sync photos and it will delete Apps..what the **** is going on

I have updated both my iphone and Ipad2 to latest operating system, but tell me apple what the **** were you thinking?
1) Now I can't sync my photos on to my Ipad from my laptop, if I do it will delete all my Apps!
2) Icloud appears to be a waste of time - it does not up load photos at all
3) All photos that were on my Ipad have been deleted.
Honestly what a mess Apple, you have launched this update without sorting out the bugs users are having sever problems!!!, what I want to know is how are you going to resolve this!!. We pay top price for your equipment and this is waht we get...Rubbish

I lost absolutely nothing when I updated my iPad - never have - with any update.
Did you ever transfer the purchases from the iPad into your iTunes library in the past? If you had done so, I don't think that you would have received that message.
Transfer Purchases.

Have you tried syncing again with iTunes in order to transfer your photos back onto the iPad? If the photos are still in your iTunes library, select them to sync, while the computer is connected to the computer and while iTunes is running - and then sync again.
Apple can't hear you rant here. this is a user to user forum only.

Need to sync my ipad without deleting apps.

ok, so i've been put in chrage of updating my moms iPad. so i plugged it into her comp and ran iTunes, thinking it'd be easy. apparently not. it gave me the standard "this iPad can only be synced with one library" message, even though I'm signed into her account on her computer, which is authorized for her itunes account. the only thing I can think of, is maybe the iPad is synced to her old windows laptop, and now it doesnt want to sync with the mac one.
my dilemma is, I dont want to sync with the newer computer if it means that will delete the angry birds saves on the ipad, which my younger brother has spent probably weeks of his life building up. if i do that everyone will be livid. so, how do I fix? i'm about to update iTunes and see if its just a bug, but im wondering if that doesnt work, would I be able to reinstall iTunes on the old computer and set it up, so that the apps may update to that one, then see if there's a way to transfer an iTunes backup from one computer to the next?
*hates the iTunes sync cartel* if the above doesn't work, would there be any chance this could be fixed when iOS 5 comes out, assuming i refuse the 4.3.3 update now and wait? the iPad is on 4.2.1 at the moment, by the way.

In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer including syncing with an empty iTunes library, all iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer will be erased from the iPad first.
You can transfer her iTunes library from her old computer that was used to sync with her iPad to her new computer per the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Or iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize her new computer with her iTunes account with iTunes if this has not already been done. With the iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of her iPad. Make sure all 3rd party apps on the iPad are now in her iTunes library on her new computer - namely this game everyone would be so distraught over if the game status were lost.
After this, create a backup for her iPad without syncing on the new computer. Right-click or Control-Click with a Mac on the iPad under Devices in the iTunes source list. At the menu window that appears, select Back Up.
Before the first sync, under the Apps tab for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes, make sure Sync Apps is selected and all apps below are selected.

Sync existing contacts from Adressbook.app with iPhone fails

Hi!
Syncing works as advertised between my Mac, .Mac, Addressbook.app and my iPhone for ALL NEW CONTACTS, no matter where they are created (iPhone or Mac).
However ... if I choose to sync an old contact from Adressbook.app with iPhone the sync process in iTunes will always stall!
My setup, looks like this:
I sync a dedicated group of Addressbook.app with iPhone. Whenever I choose to add an old, existing contact from my Addressbook database to this group the next sync and all ongoing syncs will quit unexpectedly. iTunes will show a message telling me that iPhone disconnected.
The only way to cure this behavior I have come across is to manually
* enter a new contact with the existing data in Addressbook.app and adding it to my iPhone group
* delete the existing contact in Addressbook.app
* sync via iTunes
This is VERY annoying and tedious.
Anyone with a solution besides resetting sync history in iSync? This doesn't seem to help.
Thanks

Hi Shady!
I don't think that clearing the sync history is the only cure to this problem. At least it does not help for me. I believe that the problem with contact syncing is not monocausal, hence the cure with the sync history won't heal the manifold of root causes.
My situation is as follows:
What works great when syncing back and forth between the iPhone and the addressbook.app
. *Adding new* contacts or updating contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Editing or updating existing* contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Adding new* contacts +in addressbook.app+
What does not work at all:
. Choosing any existing (created before using or syncing with iPhone) contact and sync it with the iPhone
I sync only a certain group in addressbook.app, not all contacts.
The only way to cure this problem for me so far: Adding a new contact on iPhone or addressbook.app, which is a pain given that all the contact data is already present.
Interesting enough this was not a problem from the beginning. During the first couple weeks or months I could choose any of my "old" contacts and grow that group as I saw fit and everything worked flawlessly...
Very disappointing...

Why is iTunes re-syncing songs I already deleted off my iPhone?

Sometimes, not all the time thankfully, but sometimes when I connect my iPhone 4S to iTunes, it will sometimes re-sync previous songs I had already deleted from my iPhone. These are songs I did not want in my iPhone and obviously deleted them but sometimes iTunes will just sync it right back.
I can't just cancel the sync because it'll just do it again the next time I reconnect, I went to Auto Sync but I really didn't see anything that would change what is happening. It is very annoying because sometimes I will delete entire albums and iTunes will RE-DOWNLOAD everything right back to my phone and I have to go back and delete it again.

how do I avoid doing it and get the notification to stop coming up?
Do what it says and restore it.

ITunes Sync with iPad restores deleted apps

I've thought I've locked this down, but I guess I am not understanding settings or such things. I have an iPad2 updated to latest iOS, and iTunes also with most recent update. I do not sync wirelessly. When I plug my iPad into my PC it automatically starts to sync with no problems. The part that I am trying to avoid is that it automatically reinstalls anything that I've manually deleted off the iPad whether it be apps, songs, documents, etc. . .
I am looking for iTunes to back these sorts of things up and to add changes on the iPad to the PC side of things, but NOT for iTunes to automatically restore things that have been removed from the iPad since the last sync. I've deleted a bunch of apps that I don't use and take up too much space. Same with songs and documents, but today when I plugged it into my PC, iTunes restored everything until I had out of space errors. That being said it created new pages to add all the restored apps to and now I have to go through and delete all those again. My fear is that after all the work I put into make these changes is that next sync it will repeat the same problem. Like I said earier, I thought I had made the proper setting changes, but apparently not.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer/files/docs/music/pics/etc.
Use this to put everything back on the hard drive.
The ipad syncs with one library. When you installed a new hard drive, the it became a new library. The ipads content will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. That is the way it works. Another reason why you should use your backup copy to put everything back on your new hard drive.

HT1222 iOS 7 won't let me delete apps on iphone

Hi-
I have apps that are meant for iPad now on my iPhone. I do have an iPad, and updated it also. Not all the apps from my iPad are on my iPhone. Just a few. They are stuck in waiting limbo and are dark. I am unable to delete them-I click the x, click delete, and they are still there. Help!

I Thought with new iPhones and iPads we wouldn't need to connect to a PC to get to iTunes to fix things. I'm having the same problem as above. Two apps don't belong on my iPhone. They were on my iPad, they are in limbo and my iPhone will not update to ios7.2 because it says there are apps that need to update. This is my second iPhone 5s after trying to get a better iPhone because of Sensorgate. This is getting old. I've never had these kind of issues with my previous iPhones. I'm kind of wishing I never "upgraded". Any other solutions? Is apple going to address these things. When I talk to a "Apple Genius" they always ask are you updated on the cloud and want to factory reset my phone.. Nothing happens. No fix..

Is there a way to NOT delete apps from iPhone?

I know, odd question. However, sometimes my son gets a hold of my phone, holds his finger on the screen too long, and then he has the ability to delete apps. I can restore them during the sync, but I'm wondering if there is a way to shut this off without going the passcode lock route? I tried that and he started to make emergency calls!
Thanks for your help!

No, there is no way to disable the ability to delete or rearrange apps.

I am unable to delete apps on iPhone 5

After looking at other similar questions, I can find no answer.
For some reason, I can no longer delete apps from my iPhone 5 running 6.1.4. I am doing everything the way you are supposed to, but nothing. What I end up with is a bunch of jiggling icons, the one I am trying to delete has its "x" blacked out, but it doesn't delete. There is no message asking if I am sure I want to delete this app. I have to do a hard rest in order to get back to normal.
This happen regardless the app I am trying to delete, so there is no one offending app causing the problem. I've checked restrictions and am able to delete. This is just weird and more than a little bit frustrating. I do not want to keep going into iTunes to delete apps from my iPhone. I shouldn't have to anyway.
Everything else appears fine. No problems on my iPad or iPod Touch.
Any assistance will be most welcome!

I'd just ask folks to read my original post all the way through before giving a reply.
Thanks!
