Updated apps won't sync to Ipod Touch

I've been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I update an app that I already have, the updated app won't sync to my touch and I get an error message. However, new apps downloaded from itunes work fine, they just are not current. Any help?

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- NextI would restore from backup.

New apps won't sync to iPod touch

So, i downloaded some new apps and am having a new problem - i check them to have them sync from iTunes to my iPod touch, but after clicking 'apply' and watching the new apps "installing", the app then unchecks itself and is nowhere to be found on my iPod. I tryed restoring the iPod but that didn't help. there are no restrictions set on my iPod either. am i doing something wrong? iTunes says my software is up to date...

If you have the latest version of iTunes the Check for Update in the Summary pane in iTunes under your iPod should say 4.2.1 is available if you have a 2G iPod. However, from you having only iOS 2.2.1, you probably have a 1G iPod. You can identify your iPod here:

If you have a 1G iPod you can only go as far iOS 3.1. To get that go here. It is a paid update:

Apps won't sync for Ipod Touch 5th gen and Itunes 11

I need some suggestions on how to fix this. I have removed and reinstalled itunes with no success.
I updated Itunes and now I can't sync apps on the ipod. I am manually selecting the apps. It syncs apps for another 4th gen ipod but wont for the newer one.
It will sync music but not apps.

Yes I have synced before with no problem to the new Ipod.
Music is syncing okay.
In the APP tab in itunes it thinks it has synced the apps, they just haven't actually appeared on the ipod.
The apps have synced to an older ipod.
I updated Itunes, I was going to try to go back to the earlier verision of Itunes but because of another issue (no hard drive space) I deleted my restore points and can't get back earlier itunes.

Apps won't sync on iPod touch

I can see them in iTunes, but they won't sync on the device. Any thoughts?

I would try redownloading the apps directly to your iPod by:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
If you follow the instructions you will not be charged again.
Then try transferring the the apps to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

Updated apps won't sync to my mac iTunes

Hey Guys,
I have recently updated my MBP to a MBP retina and I used to be able to auto sync all the apps that I update on my iPhone 5s or iPod 5th gen or iPad air to my iTunes but ever since i started using MBP retina it won’t work anymore. I can’t possibly download the same apps on each device just because the updated apps won’t sync to my iTunes, I used to do all the updates on one device and then sync everything to my iTunes and then sync my other devices to my iTunes and then I would have the same updated apps on each device and in my iTunes,
Could someone please help me?
I’m going crazy here…

You might try Resetting All Settings, Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings and then reset as a new phone.
This will not erase any of your content but it sets the phone back to factory defaults on everything.
Worst case you may need to restore the phone form iTunes as a new phone and then restore from a back up to get your content back on your phone.

Are you on a Mac? I found this [Type -36 error (I/O Errors (bummers)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2433]
This file is having difficulty while either reading from the drive or writing to the drive. The file
may have been improperly written data to the drive or the hard drive or disk may be damaged.
This is almost always indicative of a media error (hard error on the disk). Sometimes (rarely) it is transient.
Solutions: Try copying the file to another drive. Use a disk recovery software, such as Disk First Aid to examine the disk. You can try rebooting with all extensions off. Once in a while this will allow you to read the data. The file in question should be restored from a backup that was stored on a different disk. Regular backups can reduce the time to recover from this error.
Hope that helps.

Apps will not Sync with iPod Touch

Hi,
I bought three new Apps this morning thru iTunes store. They will not sync with my son's i-Pod Touch. (The Apps are compatible with the iPod Touch). When I plug the iPod into the computer and I click on the Apps tab at the top, the screen is grey and I cannot click or unclick the 'Sync Apps' button. What can I do?
Thanks for your help!! It is much appreciated.

- Is the iPod connected to the computer it was last synced with? Syncing is different than manually managing music.
- On the iPod go to Settings>Store and see who is signed in. To change, just log out and sign in the correct account.

ITunes On New Computer Won't Sync To iPod Touch

A couple months ago I got a new laptop. I was able to transfer all my songs over from the iPod Touch (5th Generation) to the computer successfully (including plays w/ a program I downloaded). I made changes to the library since then (deleting some songs and adding some new ones). Today for the first time since I got the new laptop, I tried to sync iTunes (updated) to the iPod 3 times but it wouldn't make any changes. I've yet to update the iOS (my iPod is 2 iOS's behind). If anyone can help, thank you in advance.

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If ll the synced media like apps and music are on the new computer, just backup to iTunes and restore from that backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Iphone/ipod touch apps won't load on ipod touch

I have tried to download apps that indicate that they can be used on iphone or ipod touch with 2.2. My ipod touch is updated but the apps won't load. Any ideas?

i also have the same problem, i came across this topic hoping to find an answer. luckily i had just solved my problem. this happened to me twice... i resolved the first problem by restoring to factory setting which is not a good solution cause all my FREE downloaded apps were erased too. so i have to download again.... lately it happened again.. same problem.. but i have resolved it by updating my ups in app store... HOPE this wont happen again.... cause its really bothersome since there arent so many wifi spots here... programs i had are mostly free so maybe its one reason for this problem.... the last app i used b4 the problem was a pdf viewing app... hope this helps...

ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software. After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes. Reinstalling iTunes has not worked. I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.

App won't install in iPod Touch

I downloaded the app for Blackjack 21 Pro. When I tried to synch my iPod it said I needed new iPhone software. I don't have an iPhone. I have a Touch. The app page does say that 21 Pro will work on a Touch.
How do I install it?

OS4 installation instructions.
When I click Update on the iPod Summary screen, it tells me that iTunes is up to date. When I click iTunes => About iTunes, it tells me that I'm running iTunes 9, 9.1.1 (12). When I click iTunes => Check for updates, it says 'This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version.' So I'm moderately certain that I'm running the latest version of iTunes.
Step 2 says to click on the iPod in the Source List on the left. Did that.
Step 3 says 'In the iPod Touch Summary pane, click Check for Updates.' There is an image that shows a Check for Update button and a Restore button. I do not have those buttons on the iPod Summary pane. I have Update and Restore. There is no Check for Update button.

ITunes Won't Sync with iPod Touch

Since migrating to my new iMac my old iPod Touch would not sync with iTunes. After following the articles on reinstalling the mobile device support I found that the iPod would only sync with iTunes once before it was necessary to reinstall again. Not very helpful.
Anyway, the solution is here! Run software update, as there is an iPhone SDK patch ready and waiting for you. Downloaded and restarted the iMac, and hey presto we have an iPod again, hoorah.

Bingo! Worked for me too (running Software Update and installing the iPhone SDK update).
I'm also staggered that this isn't explicitly mentioned as a likely fix in the general troubleshooting page for this connection problem on this site. As someone who diligently -- but manually -- downloads all patches and updates, I never use Software Update, and yet I could not find the iPhone SDK update available to download manually.
Background: my 2nd gen iPod Touch refused to be recognised by iTunes after upgrading my machine to Snow Leopard. iPod recognised by iPhoto and in iTunes on another Mac. Tried every troubleshooting item on the list at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Notice that the suggestion to try Software Update is way down the list and is easy to disregard if you prefer to update your machine manually, as I do.
Given the number of users with this problem (I've read through dozens of posts looking for a fix for a good three weeks now) you'd think someone at Apple would reorder the troubleshooting list or at least highlight this option. Hopefully anyone else with this issue will stumble upon this thread, as I did, and get a happy result.

Itunes 11 won't sync to Ipod touch 2nd gen on windows 8

2nd gen Ipod Touch 16gb. It will not sync to Itunes 11.0.2.26 on Windows 8. Itunes can see the device since it appears in my list of devices. When I attempt to sync it, it goes thru the sthe 3 steps.
1. Preparing to sync
2. Waiting to sync
3, Finished syncing
I do not receive any errors but no music is sync'd to the Ipod.
I have updated the Ipod to the latest and greatest software. I have uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. I have reset the Ipod to factory default
I have performed the numerous possible resolutions posted on the discussion boards but nothing has resolved the problem.

Do you have the right boxes checked? See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

New Purchased apps will not sync to ipod touch

Ok, my son just purchased two more apps to put on his ipad touch. they show up in our library, but will not sync. "Sync Apps" is checked, as is "automatically sync new apps". All other apps are checked and are showing in his ipod touch. These two new ones, will not sync. when you check the boxes for them from the apps screen, i get the "revert" and "apply" boxes appearing. I click on "apply" then it changes to "sync" and when I click that, it goes through the sync process, then unchecks the two new apps when done. of course these two apps have failed to sync. Music sync is working fine. Any help out there?

Are the apps compatible with the iPos e.g. is the relevant iOS version on the iPod (Settings > General > About > Version) and the apps are designed to work on the iPod - an app's requirements are shown on the left-hand side of its description page in the store.

Apps won't install on iPod Touch 4G

I have a new iPod Touch 4G and have not been able to install apps or music. The only way I can get them is by installing and purchasing on my PC, then syncing. Any idea what is going on? I didn't have this problem on my previous 4G.
When I try to install, this is what happens (using a free app as an example):
Hit "free"
Hit "Install App"
"Installing" flashes, but then it asks for my ID & password
I have to then enter my Apple ID & password
It goes back to the "page" where I click "free" & the cycle goes on and on.
Thanks for helpign me solve this problem!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out anf sign back in
- Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that one ones prevent installing apps are not set.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
