Syncing selected apps from iPad to iTunes

Is there a way to transfer only selected apps from iPad to iTunes? I would like to transfer only apps that need an update so that i can update it with iTunes instead.

You can only install new apps on iTunes and transfer them to iPad,you cannot update apps that are already on your iPad using iTunes.

Abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes

How to abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes when sync process? Every time when I sync my iPad Mini (iOS 8.1.3.) to iTunes (Mac OS, 12.0.1) every app is copied to iTunes media on my Mac. How avoid this unnecessary process?

If you only delete the files from your Mac via Finder, but leave them listed in the Apps part of your iTunes library, then they will not be copied back from your iPad when you sync again (unless there is a newer version on it).
If you do have to restore to a backup at any point in the future then to restore to an iTunes backup you will need the apps on your computer (a backup does not contain the actual apps, just their content/settings), and you may not be able to redownload them from the store (e.g. if the developer has removed them). An iCloud backup also doesn't contain your apps, it will redownload what it can from the store.

Backing up Apps from ipad to itunes

Hi - I have an old ipad vs 1 which hasn't had it's OS updated for ages. When I connect it to my computer, and want to update the os, I'm told by itunes that all the apps will go, and to back them up. The problem I have is that I have an iphone with all its apps backed up to itunes. I can't find a way to just back up the apps on the ipad to itunes without syncing the whole lot, which will mean that all my apps from my iphone will go onto the ipad, which I don't want. Basically, how do I manually back up the apps from my ipad.
Thanks,
Mark.

Doing File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) will copy any apps (and any other purchases e.g. music, films etc) that aren't on your computer's iTunes over to it from your iPad. Copying purchases over to your iTunes library won't affect a device's backup, and backing up your iPad won't affect your iPhone's backup.
Before starting the update you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button. The update process should take a backup, empty the iPad, install the new iOS version, and then restore the backup so that the previous contents are copied back (but for a restore to work fully you need all of the relevant apps on your computer's iTunes as they are not included in a backup, just their content and setting, which is one reason why you should do the Transfer Purchases).

I synced my videos from ipad to itunes on my pc, but where can i find my videos i synced to my pc? it's been deleted also on my ipad since i accept to delete it as well.

where can i find my videos i synced from ipad to pc? i can't locate where it has been saved. it's no longer found in my ipad and can't find it either on my itunes where i synced the files. this videos are not the one saved on the photos but in the videos folder itself. please help me with this.

Syncing copies content from your computer's iTunes to your iPad. If they were films and/or TV programmes that you bought from iTunes which were in the Videos app and you've copied them over to your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases ? or a taking a backup should have prompted whether to copy iTunes downloads over) then they should be in the Movies and/or TV Shows part of your library.
If not then you might be able to redownload them, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

My iPad 2 wont sync selected events from iPhoto via iTunes

I have never had any issues with this until recently. My iPhoto library is too big and I didn't want all my photos on my iPad so I started using the Sync Photos from: iPhoto and checked the Selected albums, events and faces option. I have only selected from the 'events' window. All of them sync fine except for two events. One event has 376 photos in it but will only sync 6 that I duplicated and cropped. I have since deleted the duplicated photos and now the entire event wont sync. The other event has 435 photos in it but will only sync 16. I wondered if it was the formatting as a lot of them are 'raw' quality, but after going through other events that doesn't seem to be the case. I have plenty of room on my iPad so that is not the issues, I have also tried deleting all photos from my iPad and re-syncing everything, or just those two events, neither of which worked. I have read that you should delete the iPod Photo Cache, which I did but it didn't contain any photos anyway, is that because I tell it to sync straight from iPhoto and not from the 'choose folder' option?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution from riderworks on another thread worked. thanks a lot!

Old computer crashed. Bought new computer. Downloaded itunes. How do i get my apps from IPAD to itunes on new computer?

my old computer crashed. I bought a new one and downloaded itunes. When I try to Sync my IPAD, I am asked if I want to replace the apps on my IPAD with the apps on the computer. There are no apps on the computer except the few that are installed when you have a new device. I am afraid of losing all of my apps and info on my IPAD. How do I sync and not lose anything?

You need to transfer all content from the iPad into the iTunes library, backup the iPad, restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes. If you had the iTunes library stored or backed up elsewhere, that would be the ideal thing to use, but apparently you don't have I backed up so .....
It is all explained in this discussion.

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad which will be replaced with the photos on my IMac.You see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

How do I sync an app from my iPod Touch to iPad 1 without losing its data?

I am using a baseball simulator app called 9 Innings on my iPod Touch. Is it possible to sync this app from my iPod to my iPad 1 without losing all of the data? (season stats, milestones, etc.) When I tried to sync it to my iPad, I had to start all over from scratch. Any help? Thanks.

App data and app settings are contained in the iDevice backup and not stored in iTunes on your computer. Syncing the app will not sync the game save progress to your iPad. The progress should be saved if you restore the iPad from th iPod backup. The only problem with this is - if you restore the iPad from the iPod backup - all of the data that was on the iPod will now be on the iPad.
So if you absolutely have to have the game synced to the iPad with all of the saved data in place, the only way to do that is to restore the iPad from the iPod backup and then sync the game to the iPad - or download it again via the purchased tab in the App Store.

When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder. When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library. When I hit "apply" I got this message:
Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
(By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
Thanks for your help - Pat

I have the same problem. I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad - clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad. WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

Do you have music in iTunes?
If you have, you do the same like syncing apps.
iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, click the Music tab (at the top), check Sync Music and the songs you want on the iPhone. When satisfied, click Sync (bottom right)
