They can be sorted by device type, all, or list.
The only thing that can be done in is list view to select "Genre" and it will sort by the appropriate type.
Frankly, if the apps are more easily recognized by the icon, go to the All view or device type view.

  • What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

    What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

    Depends upon what you mean by change.
    If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
    If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

  • After upgrading what happens to the apps on my 3G?

    I just received my iPhone 4 and put my backup from my iPhone 3G on. It works fine, and there is no more AT&T service on my iPhone 3G. I intend to use the 3G as an iPod Touch. I understand the SIM card needs to stay in the phone for this, even though it is not activated with AT&T.
    What happens to the apps that are still on my 3G? They are still working. I assume they will stay there until I need to sync. Then I will have to set up a new iTunes account, under a unique computer user name, for the 3G and buy the apps all over again for the 3G.

    Nope, the apps stay there until you delete them.
    I currently sync 2 iPhones and 2 iPod Touch units all to one iTunes store account, and per the Apple licensing, they all can run apps I have purchased. I had a similar question as you when I first started using multiple devices, so I sent an email to the app author for the app I wanted most to do this with. His response was that this is Apple's terms, so if I didn't want to purchase a second license to use his app on a second device, then I didn't need to (but he wouldn't stop me if I wanted to either). In the end, I found this app author to be very dedicated to his app, and very responsive to my comments/requests, so I did purchase a second copy of his app (yes, I had my wife create an iTunes account and purchase it under her account).

  • What happens to my apps when I switch iCloud accounts on my phone?

    I'm trying to switch the iCloud accounts from an old one that's acting up to a new one that I've created. When I started to, though, I got worried because it said something about Documents as I tried to delete the iCloud account that was already there.
    When you change the iCloud acconts on your phone, what happens to your apps?
    1.Are they all deleted?
    2. If not, do they just stay and never get updated, or do they all reset?
    3. Is there any way I can transfer the purchases to my new iCloud so that I don't have to buy them again?

  • What happened to my device icons?

    I have two external drives connected to my iMac, and when I am at the iMac I have a Flash Drive attached. When you open a window they appeared on the left side under the word "Devices" along with Macintosh HD. Well, they have disappeared. (see images below, the first shows I have three devices attached, the second shows an open window and nothing is listed under devices) And since they disappeared when I do a search it doesn't seem to search the external drives, it is like they are not there. What happened to my device icons? Before, I could just click on the right-pointing arrow next to the icon for my Flash Drive and it would expel it. I can drag the Flash Drive icon to the Trash, but I am wondering if there is something really sinister going on in my iMac. It's a 6 month old iMac running Yosemite.

    It looks like the Devices section in your sidebar is hidden. Place your cursor over the "Devices" text in the Finder sidebar. You should see just to the right of the text the word "Show". Click Show and the Devices should reappear in your sidebar.

  • What happens to the apps if I sync to another pc

    ok here is the question, I know that if I sync apps to another pc they will going to erase and reinstall the apps from purchased apps section but what happens to the saved data or games.. as an example; I have Hay Day game.. the game is at a certain level right now and I want to keep it that way.. once I sync it, it will be erased and reinstalled.. will it save my game progress? or how can I save it?

    Game settings and other data is part of the backup:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    A manual backup before you sync for the first time will save your content to the new PC.
    Follow this user tip by wjosten to save your data and settings to a new PC:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    or this one by turningtest2:

  • What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

    I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments.  I looked into preferences and no option there.  I have to go into the menu to attach a file.  What happened?  That seems to be a pretty basic function.

    You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.

  • Fresh install of Lion, what happens to iPhone Apps?

    HI all,
    I want to do a fresh install of Lion on my Mac. What is going to happen to all of my iPhone and iPod touch apps when I do this? Is there a way to back them up and then add them back to iTunes when I'm done?
    I already have all of my photos, movies, music, Mac app .dmg's and documents backed up on a 1TB drive (not time machine, just manual). But what about my iPhone Apps?
    I have spent a lot of money on these things and I do not want to have to buy them all again.

    Try a safe boot by holding down shift key during boot

    What happened to the punchinpunchout app?

    Only if you knew what company or individual made the app. You would have to contact them. If you don't know, I would suggest Restoring your device from a backup at a point where you had this app.

  • What happened to the "globe" icon for my server?

    We have a network that we all are connected to. I have my computer connected all the time. All of a sudden, I noticed that the icon for my server looks like a console icon. What happened and how can I get the "globe" icon back? Does this mess things up for files on the network? I've tried rebuilding the desktop, trashing the desktop and finder .plists, restarting my computer, and trashing the DisplayServices .plist. Any other advice? I sure would appreciate it.
