The number of apps that show on itunes dont match

How come the this list (1st picture) says i have 296 apps but the second list (2nd picture) says i have 278 apps.  I have compared both lists and I dont see why the first list has 18 more apps. 

OK, my post was deleted, so I am sorry, it won't happen again.
Anyway, I will rephrase myself, hopefully this one won't get deleted.
You can have as much as ZERO or ONE app icon only, and still be able to access all apps.
I don't understand why no third-party developer has created official Springboard Launchers. Are custom Launchers a breach of the Apple license agreement, or what? Palm OS and Windows Mobile has launchers, why won't iPhone OS have them?
Of course, it would be nice if Apple made 16 or even 20/24 pages available in a future update. There is plenty of room for that below the app icons, and the page bullets are small enough to accomodate this.

  • Is there a limit to the number of apps that can be Hidden from view in Family Sharing?

    I've just set up a Family Share and have issued invitations to a couple of family members.
    I'm trying to take full advantage of the "Hide" feature that's available in the Purchased list in the App Store app, mostly to hide really old apps that I haven't used since the beginning of time.  These apps have been long gone from any of my iOS devices, and it has always bugged me that they still appeared in my Purchased list. It's pretty cool that Family Sharing allows people to hide some of their app purchases from others in the group, as this also allows folks to hide apps that they also don't want to see in our own lists.
    The first couple of dozen apps that I decided to hide stayed hidden. However: now, no matter what I try, I can't hide any more apps.  I swipe on an app to reveal the Hide button; tap the button; the app disappears from the list; I go to another screen in the app; I return to my Purchased list: and the most recent Hidden apps are still listed.
    This is driving me nuts. I'm wondering if Apple has imposed a limit on the number of apps that anyone can hide; or if there's something I can do to force a hidden app to stay hidden.
    Advice will be gratefully accepted.

    Not a bad suggestion, but it does not explain why an app refuses to REMAIN hidden on my iPhone -- as I explained in my first post:
    > I swipe on an app to reveal the Hide button; tap the button; the app disappears from the list;
    > I go to another screen in the app; I return to my Purchased list: and the most recent Hidden
    > apps are still listed.
    Given the clunkiness and general unreliability of iCloud - which rarely "just works" - it doesn't surprise me that hiding an app on one device doesn't mean the same app will be hidden immediately on other devices logged into the same account. I've learned to be patient and wait hours for changes to anything synced via iCloud to be reflected on other devices in the sync loop.  But again, this in now way explains why apps were not staying hidden on the device that was used to hide them. 
    I've finally managed to hide all the apps I wanted hidden, after many hours of waiting and multiple attempts at hiding.  I am in no way confident that these apps are going to REMAIN hidden permanently, or until I choose to unhide some of them; only time will tell if iCloud decides to behave and accept my series of "Hide this app" commands to be honoured permanently!

  • How do I limit the number of emails that show in my active mailbox?  There was a way in Settings on ios 6, but i can't find it in ios 7.

    How do I limit the number of emails that show in my active mailbox?  There was a way in Settings on ios 6, but i can't find it in ios 7.

    You need to delete your current hotmail account set up on your iphone.
    Once this has done click 'Add Account' and select the new 'outlook.com' tab.
    Set up your hotmail account again from scratch and this will then allow you to select how many weeks/months of emails you sync to your phone.
    Im not sure if anyone else had a similar problem to me prior to iOS 7, but if i deleted an email from my hotmail account on my iphone - it wouldnt sync with my actual hotmail account. So when i logged in online all the emails I had deleted on my phone would still be showing as unread.
    But by setting the account up as above, they now sync perfectly.
    Well for me anyway

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

    Hi Janice
    If you are talking about the Hard Drive, click on the Hard Disk on your Desktop to highlight it and then from the Finder menu > File select *Get Info*. You can also press Command + i to get the same dialogue box to open.
    There you will see, the Capacity of the Hard drive, how much is used and how much free space remains.
    If you are talking about the RAM, that shows in the first opening window of System Profiler.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?

  • Is there an app that shows on your locked screen what time the auto-lock was activated...so you know if anyone has looked at your phone?

    Id like an app that shows what time your iphone was locked, so you know if anyone has looked at your phone while you've left it, say on a desk at work?

    If your location on the map is off press the MENU button (lower left corner of your phone).  Then when the next screen appears Touch "my location" and it will move the your blue colored location ICON to your current location.
    Also, you can touch the tower ICON to see the tower's SSID, SID, and Received signal strength.  WIKI has good definitions for these acronyms.  If you go to CELLS (top of screen) you can also see the RSSI and the overview shows the signal strength in %.

  • I want to know if you can delete the apps that show up .. All the ones you look at or buy ? How do you get them off I pad ?

    I m wondering if you can delete the apps that show up that you have looked at or have purchased ? I have some that I'm trying to delete but don't know how to do it ...please help or let me know if it can be done ... Thanks

    To delete any apps but the ones that are hard wired into your ipad, hold your finger down on the app icons until they start to wiggle. When they do, you'll see red circles with white X's in them. Tap on that and follow the prompt to delete the app.
    If you can't delete apps, look in settings, general, restrictions and make sure that deleting apps hasn't been locked out.

  • Is there a limit to the number of Apps you can download to your iPod touch?

    I just downloaded a batch of new free apps the the App store to my Mac and then synced my iPod and it showed in the progress bar that it was transferring the new Apps to my iPod but when I checked it most on the new Apps weren't on there. Is there a limit to the number of pages you get on the iPod to add new Apps? I actually have 9 pages full now and if the other apps I downloaded are on the iPod where would I find them?
    They are a nightmare to reorganise into groups on the same pages.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    9 pages of apps is a LOT, though I have to admit, I'm about halfway there.
    It doesn't affect how many are SOLD/downloaded... it only affects how many can be used at ONE TIME.
    But you see, will you actually be using ALL 9 pages worth of apps at the same time? Not likely. And as time goes by, you'll find some apps aren't as useful as you thought. While others prove too useful and end up replacing a few others.
    For example, there are dedicated Facebook, LiveJournal, MySpace, etc apps. But if you don't do anything specific, and only blog, you could use one of the third party apps that allows you to blog to most, if not all of them from the same app.
    Do you need a separate app for football, then basketball and baseball, if all you do is see who won? Again, there are other apps that'll give scores for more than one sport... and even include various stats (RBIs, TDs, etc).
    Of the 80+ apps I've downloaded, I've flat out deleted from my computer a handful (cause they stink). And I've "put in reserve" a few others (sort of useful).
    Yes, I agree, there needs to be an easier way to organize them.
