Unable to sync apps with iPhone

I recently updated to OS 4.2.1 and got the following when I tried to sync my apps:
The app was not installed on iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001).
I did try the "de-authorizing then authorizing" trick but it didn't work.
Not to mention that battery life now ***** really bad.
Saw a thread that suggested resetting all settings, restoring the phone etc, but nothing worked.

Did you check if "App-Installation" is activated in Settings/General/Restrictions on your phone?

On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

ITunes 12 crashes when syncing apps with iPhone 4

Does anyone know the solution to this issue, I know it has been around for ages and I can not find anywhere anyone who has resolved this.
When I try to sync my iPhone 4 apps with iTunes 12, iTunes crashes and leaves ghost icons on my phone. This did not happen on the previous version of iTunes. If I make the app versions identical in iTunes and the iPhone it will go through the rest of the sync process,eg adding songs ect. I have tried all the normal fault finding stuff like reinstalling and factory resetting phone with no joy. Can someone from Apple please confirm this is a known issue and if it is likely to be addressed?
Thanks in advance

I thought that would be the response when a iPhone model is not supported any more, thanks Apple

Unable to sync iCal with iphone 4S

What a mess!!
I had Mobile me. It worked great. When it was shut down I tried to migrate to iCloud but it didn't work, I guess because I am running Snow Leopard. So I tried to just use iCloud to sync and it didn't work well, I ended up with multiple entries, missing entries, etc. So I scrapped that and went to syncing through itunes. When I upgraded my iphone 3GS to a 4S any old calendars on my mac that were part of mobile me wouldn't sync to the new phone, and I want all my past events there too. So I manually moved all the mobile me calendars in iCal to calendars I created on my mac. I deleted the old, then I redid the colors so that everything would make sense. Certain calendars synced, certain ones didn't, and the issue was not only mac to phone but phone to mac as well. So I manually made sure everything was on my mac and then hit the replace content on this iphone button thinking that it would just put everything back on my phone and now nothing is on my phone! It erased all my entries on my phone. It's all on my computer but nothing will sync to my iphone calendar. This is not what I expect from Apple. I have been a faithful apple user since before OSX, the first ipod, before the imac, and this is a huge problem and one of the main reasons I came to apple to begin with.
Can someone help me!! I need these two to sync for work purposes!

Unable to sync apps onto iPhone 4

Hey guys,
Just recently, I haven't been to sync some of my apps from iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4. Whenever I try to sync them on, I get a message reading "Unable to install the app "[insert name]" onto the iPhone "[insert name]" because its resources have been modified. I haven't been playing around with any app modifications, and my iPhone is not jailbroken.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, and even deleting from the iTunes library and redownloading the apps, but I still keep on getting the same message.
The only way that I am able to get some of these apps onto my iPhone has been to download directly onto my iPhone, but I can't do that with larger apps (200mb+), even with Wifi.
Any help guys?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please?

Unable to sync apps to iPhone 3G

Hi,
Follow this article for instructions on completely re-installing the iOS operating system; it sounds like some file may have gotten corrupted during your iOS 7 install.
It's a good idea to back up your data first (to iCloud or iTunes), restore the iPhone to factory settings through iTunes, and then temporarily set the iPhone up as new to test the camera with a completely fresh copy of iOS. If it still doesn't work after re-installing iOS 7 and setting up as new, you may have a hardware issue.
Good luck!

ITunes cannot sync apps. with iPhone

Hi everyone!
I bought a new laptop lately, and I wanted to sync all the applications on the iphone with itunes, but it keeps saying, "please authorize your computer" - which I already did. Then all my apps disappeared from the phone, so I downloaded everything to iTunes again, and tried to sync, but it seems that the apps cannot be synced with the phone. I tried to download every program to the phone again, and then sync it again, but it still won't work. I reinstalled iTunes and visited the support page and tried everything regarding the authorization and deauthorization articles there (administration account, deleticn SC folder from program data etc), and it still does not work. I can see all the apps on the computer, but when I want to sync, it simply won't copy anything to the phone. So I have to download every program from app. store via my phone, and it works perfectly, until I connect the phone with the computer. I searched for an apple email address, but I cannot find anything (I live in Hungary, Europe, and I just realized that the apple support is really poor here).
Can somebody please help or just give me an official apple email address to write my problem to them as well?
Thank you very much!

I bought several apps, like 6 or 7, and the sync would error out, but the backups would be okay.
I guess I was trying to sync too many new applications at once. I ended up having to download my purchases via iTunes on my computer, then go to Apps on my iPhone in iTunes, and check one at a time, syncing after each, until all apps were installed.
If I tried to do anymore than one at a time, I would get iPhone not connected or trouble reading disk errors while syncing.

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

I have an iPhone 3S. I forgot to install iOS5 on it before to pass to iCloud. Now, I am unable to sync it with iTunes and update to iOS5. Is there a solution?

Hi jeffmbellucci,
If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

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...
