Unable to sync? If i restore all apps gone?

When i try to sync i get over capacity problem, and i havent transferred all my apps to itunes, and sometimes i get cannot be synced, so what the **** am i suppose to do, if i restore i lose apps and have to repurchase them seriously? this is this a joke, is this how apple makes their money?, surely their must be a log on the account so i dont have to re purchase

Yeah, this is how Apple makes their money - especially when the app developer gets 70% of their chosen sales price for a paid app, and they house and distribute all free apps at no charge.
All apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library for a number of reasons with this being one of them. With Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. One of the reasons why it is a good idea to sync your iPhone with iTunes on a regular basis and often.
You can re-download a paid app and you won't be charged again for the paid app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

Can we restore all apps and music from our Purchase Hist in our ITunes acct

How do I restore all apps and music that have been purchased back on to an IPOD touch? The IPOD was locked and we had to reset it and now we have lost all of the apps and music that we had purchased from April 6, 2010 to now.

What has happened is the IPOD Touch account was originally set up on a laptop. That laptop crashed and we had to then set up the account in question on a Desktop. The IPOD was never synced. The IPOD was diabled because my daughter typed in the wrong password numerous times. So my 15 year old reset the IPOD and it wiped out all of the apps and music. Now I do not know how to restore everything.

I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original). Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc. However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded. Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

Hello there, Tamghosh.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Particularly:
I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Unable to sync a few of the apps.

Have 2 Iphones and 2 IMacs. Both phones, when USB connected to power and using WiFi, produce a message saying "Unable to sync 6 (or 9 apps, depending on which phone). See ITunes." That's the entire message, no listing of which apps won't sync and no help going to ITunes Store.

Hi 950972,
There's some magic that's tricking you. Basically, if you switch out.println() for System.out.println() you'll see that BOTH urls start with satellitescheme://. What is going on is the URLs that are produced by the Sites UIs always are built with satellitescheme://.......#satellitefragment. Then, what happens is Satellite Server will process the result and substitute the strange string with one that corresponds to your URL assembler (and in this case you're using the GSF assembler).
In your substring code, you're breaking the special string and are chopping the encoded URL. Satellite Server doesn't see the prefix and suffix combined, so it's not trying to do the substitution.
So that's why your'e seeing what your'e seeing.
A bigger question, however, is why you are trying to process the URLs that are generated by the APIs. I would guess that some sort of substitution is going to happen, but that shouldn't usually be done. What are you trying to do? I'm sure we can find the proper way of accomplishing your goals.
Regards,
Tony

Ipad 2 restored itself, all apps gone

Got my ipad 2 16GB WIFI on release date and have problems after version update from 4.3.1. First problem was the ipad frozen with black screen and white apple logo in the middle. I had to plug into itunes and do a restore. logged on my facebook on 7th May 2011 looking for help.
After the restore the next problem was even worse. all my apps were gone and ipad was reset itself to its manufacture setting happened on 10th May 2011 also logged on facebook.
after version 4.3.3 update the same problem keep on happening, with all my apps gone and ipad reset to manufacture setting. comment on facebook on 17th May 2011. This time with a message ; 'connect to itues'
Needs some help here please.
Alan

In the Advanced tab of iTunes' Preferences what is the time and date of the backup you used for the restore? It sounds like you have a backup that does not contain your dat and such. It may be that when you were having trouble updating a backup was made. Looking at the date might provide some information.

Old iPhone, new iTunes/Mac; App sync warning about losing all apps and data

I have an old iPhone with plenty of apps on it.
I have a new Mac/iTunes that I have setup and "successfully" synced with my phone.
However, on the Apps tab in iTunes (within my phone device section), the Sync Apps checkbox is not checked. If I check this box, I get a very disconcerting warning:
-- Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone "Some Guy's iPhone" will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. --
My goal is to update iOS4.2, but I can't do that because it warns me there are things on my phone that aren't on iTunes. Yet Transfer Purchases isn't doing anything useful.
I have also Reset Warnings and reattached my phone to sync. Nothing new and exciting happened.
So, will I actually lose everything if I do the update? Will I ever be able to control my apps from iTunes (via Sync Apps)?
Does Apple realize how non-intuitive and difficult the whole iPhone-iTunes management thing is? This is so counter to their philosophy.

Hello.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link along with all other important data from your PC that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as photos, documents, etc.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Transferring your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac following the instructions included with the link provided along with authorizing your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes should prevent any iTunes content from being erased on your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac. Since all iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be available in your iTunes library on your PC, transferring your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac will prevent any iTunes content from being erased on your iPhone.
The only data that is wiped on an iPhone when syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on a new or different computer is iTunes content when not transferring your iTunes library from the existing computer used for syncing your iPhone with to the new or different computer per the instructions provided, and photos transferred from the existing computer. Photos on the existing computer should be transferred to the new or different computer along with your iTunes library and all other important data from the existing computer.
Photos in the Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process or touched except for being included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
Photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos and/or video in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Importing photos from a digital camera is not handled by iTunes and the same for photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll. With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for importing photos/videos from any digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card including from the iPhone's Camera Roll, or you can use the Image Capture application for this if you don't prefer using iPhoto for photo storage and management on your Mac. iPhoto will provide you the Events and Faces feature available on the iPhone and you can use iPhoto for setting a location for photos that were captured by a digital camera which does not include a location feature for the iPhoto locations feature.
Contacts and calendar events on your iPhone are not touched when syncing with iTunes unless you are syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported application on your computer. With a Mac, you can sync contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal. Before syncing contacts with an empty Address Book and calendar events with an empty iCal, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal before the first sync for this data. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendars/calendar events with iCal is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac.
If you don't have any music or movies in your iTunes library on your PC - all you have are 3rd party apps in your iTunes library on your PC, you can transfer all apps from your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac. First you need to authorize your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. After confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone are in your iTunes library on your Mac, under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes select Sync Apps and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below.

HT4859 How do I restore all apps and photos from I cloud on to a new iPhone

I can't find away to restore all my iPhone data for my iPhone. How do you download all my data???

Restore to your iCloud backup when given the option when you set up the phone. If it's already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your phone and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

Update, reset, Backup - all Apps gone

Hello,
I started the update on my wife's iphone5 connected to the PC with itunes. It stopped after 5 minutes. Iphone wanted the connections to itunes. After lot unsuccessful tries, i decided to set it back its factory settings. Then i restored it from the backup. All apps are gone. Everytime i connect the iphone to the PC, itunes cant recognize the iphone and wants to install as new or restore from saved backup.
I really dont know what to do!
T. La Roche (germany)

To redownload the apps you need to be using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the apps.
On the phone you can use the App Store app and find the purchased apps then download them. You will not be charged for downloading the apps again as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchased them the first time.
On the computer, normally iTunes stores a copy of all the apps you purchased. Start iTunes on your computer, connect your phone, select your phone in iTunes, and select the Apps tab in the row of tabs in the right window.
The apps on your iPhone will be listed under the Apps tab. Select the apps you want on the phone and click Apply or Sync.

All apps gone after forced restart of iPad

Hello,
I was just developing a bit with my iPad and after the debugger got hang I had to restart my iPad by holding down the home button and the lock button for some seconds.
After the iPad was booted up again, i noticed that all apps (expect the built in ones) where gone!!!
Unfortionatly my last iTunes backup was a long time ago (I know... i should have done it more often...)
But when I look at iTunes I can see a lot of "Other" space used (more that 10GB) so I think this is probably the space used by my apps...
It would just be really uncool, because I was for example using it a lot for taking notes (Noteshelf) and that would all be gone...
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks a lot

This did not help
I tried to backup some of my files with PhoneView and iExplorer but could not find anything... But iTunes shows me that there is a lot of space used for "other stuff"...
Any chance I can restore my files... I really want to have my Noteshelf drawings back!!!

ITunes Sync with iPad restores deleted apps

I've thought I've locked this down, but I guess I am not understanding settings or such things. I have an iPad2 updated to latest iOS, and iTunes also with most recent update. I do not sync wirelessly. When I plug my iPad into my PC it automatically starts to sync with no problems. The part that I am trying to avoid is that it automatically reinstalls anything that I've manually deleted off the iPad whether it be apps, songs, documents, etc. . .
I am looking for iTunes to back these sorts of things up and to add changes on the iPad to the PC side of things, but NOT for iTunes to automatically restore things that have been removed from the iPad since the last sync. I've deleted a bunch of apps that I don't use and take up too much space. Same with songs and documents, but today when I plugged it into my PC, iTunes restored everything until I had out of space errors. That being said it created new pages to add all the restored apps to and now I have to go through and delete all those again. My fear is that after all the work I put into make these changes is that next sync it will repeat the same problem. Like I said earier, I thought I had made the proper setting changes, but apparently not.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer/files/docs/music/pics/etc.
Use this to put everything back on the hard drive.
The ipad syncs with one library. When you installed a new hard drive, the it became a new library. The ipads content will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. That is the way it works. Another reason why you should use your backup copy to put everything back on your new hard drive.

IPhone sync wants to install all apps

Haven't seen this posted anywhere else. I have an iPhone 3G, lastest software, not jailbroken. I am using a MacBook, latest OS and newest iTunes.
Sometimes when I plug my iPhone in to sync, iTunes wants to install all of the apps in iTunes to my iPhone. I have around 150 apps in iTunes and I sync around 40 of them to the iPhone.
Usually sync works fine, but sometimes it seems like iTunes doesn't know that this isn't a first-time install. So I then have to go through the iTunes app window and manually uncheck the ones I don't want installed.
Anyone else seen this, any ideas?
Thanks!

Unable to sync iCloud iPhone 5 Clear app?

I have the "Clear" app on my phone. I can't seem to get it to sync to iCloud nor my iMac. Does anyone have this app on their phone and gotten it to work with iCloud? If so, please share the steps. I've already gone to the developer site and feel I've done all of their steps. I'm probably missing something minor but can't find it.
Thanks much,
Ginger

Since you've lost all data, perform a reset. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat. Start PC Suite, then connect the E71 in PC Suite mode and make a new sync profile.

NOT SOLVED - Unable to sync with Ovi at all.

Update Edit : after the sync completed, Ovi came back with 'No Contacts Updated'.....Restart Nokia Ovi Suite. Error code 83860036. For a minute there, I thought it was sorted, but no.
After a right runaround, with advice from Nokia support to uninstall, reinstall, do the same again, then uninstall and use the nokia cleanup utility, then re-install....etc ....etc.
None of that worked.
But I did download and run ccleaner because of another problem on my pc, and used the registry clean up utility (backing up the registry first). it found about 1400 errors.
Now, when I connect my phone to the pc with usb, Ovi magically starts up and syncs automatically ;-))
So maybe after all it's not a Nokia problem, at least in my case, it looks like it was a registry problem.
I in know way recommend messing with your registry - all I can say is that it seemed to work in my case.
What I did:
Downloaded Ccleaner
Installed, clicked on the registry tool
Backed up registry (it prompts you to do this when you start to clean)
Cleaned every registry problem (it does it in one go if you want)
Restarted my pc.
Opened about 35 of the most common programs I use for work to check they still worked okay.
I didn't even think about Ovi at the time, it was only a day or two later when I thought I'd better try to sync the phone and pc again.
If I open Ovi first, then connect my phone, Ovi still does not work for me when I try to manually sync from the toolbar. Outlook was open at the time.
But before I reinstalled *again* I just connected the phone with Ovi and Outlook shut down, and voila.
Hope this helps someone out there.
