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.

How do I stop itunes from transferring apps from my ipad or iphone to my pc ?
How do I stop iTunes from transferring apps from my iPad or iPhone to my PC ? I have App sync turn off and I have add files to library turned off. Yet every time
I sync iTunes transfers all my apps to my PC. I have 20-30 gig of apps on each. A lot of them are 1gig each and it takes for ever to sync , plus I don't want 100 gig of apps just sitting on my hard drive for no reason. Any app I ever want is always available in the cloud so what's the point of having them on my PC in the 1st place?I'm pretty sure that the space is used up on your computer's hardrive.
Anyway my solution to this nuisance of apps/itunes transfer was to allow itunes to download the apps from my phone...
...First of all I had tried to uncheck a few boxes in itunes a) automatically sync when device is connected (in the summary section) b) prevent devices from syncing (edit>preferences>devices) and c) Automatically sync new apps (apps section of device)
HOWEVER, when I would click sync in any section, apps tried to transfer to itunes from my iphone.
So after all my apps went on my computer (approx. 9 GB), I checked the boxes back, disconnected my device and deleted all the apps from itunes and my computer simultaneously (by clicking del/move to recycle bin).
Now when I connect my iphone it does it's backup/sync thing automatically ...but no apps try to transfer
Note: apps from your library cannot be set to sync with your device
I can now also click sync in any section and no apps transfer.
(This problem started when I downloaded an app from itunes rather than my device and I later transfered the app to my device. My apps section in itunes is completely empty now and no apps appear in windows explorer either)
the only thing I am unsure of now is; what's going to happen if I purchase an app from itunes on my pc again ...I'm guessing I'll have to repeat the process (might want to avoid that) -
How Can I Transfer an app from my iPad to iTunes?
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4. -
iTunes ask asks if ok to delete apps on iPad and sync with iTunes but when I say yes it looks like it will delete all my apps and just sync the factory installed ones.
ThanksStan...
Try the instructions here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Make sure you are using the same Apple ID you used to purchase the apps originally. -

How can I cancel a newspaper app? I have deleted the app from my iPad and itunes
How can I cancel paying weekly for a newspaper app?
You may end up having to delete the stalled apps in order to redownload them, but in the meantime.....
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
Try a reboot as well - hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
And .. You can finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad. -
Trouble Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to iTunes 10.2.1.
I have yet to update my iPhone 3GS to the newest OS because of an on-going issue I have been having with syncing my purchased apps on iTunes 10.2.1. Despite having authorized my computer and re-installing both iTunes and Quicktime, every time I try to sync my apps, I receive an error message that says that it was unable to sync my purchased apps because my computer has not been authorized. Since I did authorize my computer, this is obviously not true. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for how to fix it? Thanks!
Maybe this will help:

How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)
Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we plug in to Itunes (at different times) it synchs the apps from one Ipad on to the other. We don't want this. I have uncheked the box for Automatically synch apps, but it still does this.
How do I get Itues to see each Ipad as a separate item, and not try to keep them "equal" as far as apps installed?Remove the apps from iTunes with your device connected. You can basically deselect the apps that you don't want on each device. We have three IOS devices on one AppleID and they don't all have the same apps.

I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help
What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and a separate 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so the 2 libraries are completely separate? Thanks
You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

Im trying to update my apps from the ipad in the app store section and when i press update the ipad tells me that im not connected to the itunes store??
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Deleted the iTunes Store app from my ipad
My student deleted the iTunes Store app from my iPad. How do I get it back??
It might do (but I don't know much about configuration profiles). The other options in the Settings > General > Restrictions screen are ok e.g. if you don't have a restrictions code set then they are all 'green' and greyed out e.g.
and if you do have a restrictions code set then the slider on each setting be changed e.g.

I bought an app today that doesnt function as advertised. My iPad does not sync to a computer. I do not use iTunes unless forced to. Is there a way to delete an app from my iPad directly? Also, why can't I delete permanently something from iTunes??
To delete an app directly on your iPad, press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
As to why you can't currently permanently delete something from your account then it's because Apple don't yet allow us to (possibly because people would then accidentally delete things and they wouldn't then be able to re-download them for free) - you can hide previous purchases from your purchase history to make them less visible (and it's only fairly recently that we've been able to do that) : hiding and unhiding.
