Trouble synching apps

i have recently bought a 32gb itouch off of my friend, i have synched music from my itunes library fine. However his apple ID keeps popping up on my itouch even though i have already signed in on the app store, also i am unable to sync the apps in my library to the itouch
if anyone has any suggestions on how i can get rid of his apple ID or how i can sync these apps it would be appreciated, thanks

It appears that there are apps on the iPod that were purchased with the account that pops up. Delete those apps. Those are licensed to the person who purchased them and not to you. They do not transfer with the purchase of he iPod.
Are your apps on the computer compatible with the model iPod and iOS on the iPod? Are restrictions invoked (Settings>General>Restrictions) on the iPod that is preventing their syncing? Are the correct boxes checked to sync the apps to the iPod?

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Trouble synching in iTunes 10

I'm having trouble synching my iPhone 3GS. I want to upgrade to the latest version of software for the iPhone but when I try, I get a message informing me that there are purchases on my phone that need transferring.
I have backed up my phone several times and right clicked the phone icon in the device section and selected "transfer purchases". It seemed to do that yet each time I still get the error message that purchases need to be transferred.
I have tried reinstalling iTunes 10. Also when I look at the applications tab, it is frayed out and I can't move any of the application between pages...
Any suggestions?

Nevermind, I was wrong about something....but if anyone's having similar trouble, this was really helpful. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12269053#12269053

Itunes 12.01.26 Crashes Synching Apps on NAS

I am extremely disappointed that Apples has still not provided a fix to
iTunes crashing when it starts to synch apps following the release of iTunes 12
The crash happens every time I try to sync and just because my iTunes Library
iOS on a NAS Server
All worked fine until after iTunes 11.4
Shame on Apple for not getting round to fix this issue as there are an
enormous amount of discussion forms and people who have reported this to Apple
We run numerous Apple devices but following this issue and the debacle with
IOS 8.01 we are now considering getting rid of all our apple devises
We still have two iPhones that are updated to IOS 8.02 that are showing they
need to update to 8.01 !!
APPLE WE NEED AN ANSWER TO THE iTunes SYNCHING APPS ON A NAS SERVER LIBRUARY
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Lee Earle,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on OS X. The following resources provide some great trobuleshooting and isolation steps:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhone and synching Apps

I have a number of Apps ion my iPhone that I have purchased and installed via the iPhone. I am now synching to a new computer. Music is fine, However, when I checked the synch Apps bos I was warned that all my apps would be repaced by what is on the computer. I have carefully arranged my apps on my iPhone the way I want them. Is there a way to have the iPhone control the iTunes instead of the other waty?

Connect the phone but do not sync. Then choose "Transfer Purchases..." on the File menu in iTunes. Once the apps are on your computer you can sync and they should not be deleted.

I am having trouble updating apps through iTunes, iTunes shuts down when I try to sync.

I am having trouble updating apps that I have on my iPhone through iTunes. I go through the update then when syncing I get an error message iTunes has to shut down. The only way I have been able to work around is to delete the app and download it again. If I don't do this the app says waiting on my iPhone.

I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

ITunes dont want to synch apps in 3GS

Two days ago, when performing a synch between iTunes and my 3GS iPhone, I noticed that the apps are in gray and it doesnt allow me to make any changes. Why is this? How can I synch apps from my Mac to my 3GS ?

Why did you create "a lot" of iTunes accounts?
You only need one iTunes account.

Was skiing with a lifeproof on and my phone did not get wet. On the ride back my phone was struggling to send/receive messages and had trouble opening apps. The screen froze and I hit the sleep button; since then, it has not turned on. Any suggestions on what to do?

It probably got too cold and shut down. Warm it to room temperature, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No!

Trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes.

I'm having trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes. My computer is authorized, but I get - Some of the purchased items on the (user name) ipad could not be transfered to your itunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.

If those apps were purchased with a different Apple ID and iTunes account that would be a reason why you get that message.

I'm having trouble synching my Outlook Calendar with my iPhone iniTunes
We use Outlook in my office so it’s the only Calendar I use, so I can share inter-office
Used to use Mobile Me and I terminated that. Prior to this Outlook synched fine.
Prior to having my iPhone I only had one type of Calendar in Outlook
I know have 'Calendar 5' on my Outlook, but that doesn't show up on my iPhone.
iPhone does give me several other numbered Calendars – but no ‘Calendar 5’
I need to figure a way to get all this synched correctly
very frustrating!
