Why are app downloads limited to 20MB?

Why can't I download an application that's larger than 20MB over 3G?

I downloaded a 1GB file yesterday over 3G with Downloads Lite. It just blows my mind that I'm allowed to download a 1GB file but when it comes to a 25MB game, that's just simply out of the question.
When will Apple fix this nonsense? AT&T doesn't even offer unlimited data plans anymore (which is good for those who are grandfathered in since I pull ~5GB a month) so new iPhone owners are limited to 2GB a month anyways. Who cares how the consumer uses it?
Anyways, back to downloading 100MB files over 3G until Apple addresses this outrageous limitation.
EDIT: Oh man, this is going to take a while! http://imgur.com/hholi.png

Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

I am new to ITunes. I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?

Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?
All one gets from the download drop-down menu is:
(480p), (240p) or (360p) for example and the name of the video of course.
The way it is now, I cannot identify the type of video I am downloading as I could before.
Thanks!

Ubi,
Your assumptions are incorrect. Not all Youtube videos are offered in other formats; some are only offered in FLV format. Generally, only the very HD ones are offered in MP4. The format in which videos are offered are the decision of Youtube and/or the original poster of the video.
I opted to not pay for the VDH converter. There are FREE converters that will convert FLV to other formats, but they do not interface with VDH. Even the VDH converter is a 2-step process (in both manual or automatic mode). The converter that is included free with VDH will put an ugly icon/watermark on your converted video--every frame of the video. To find a free converter, just Google "free flv converter" (with the quotation marks).

Why are Apps taking up space on my Mac in iTunes when I have iCloud?

The Apps in iTunes on my Mac take up a lot of disk space. Why are they there at all? I use iCloud to backup my iPhone and iPad. iTunes Store keeps my purchase history. So, why are the Apps taking up space on my computer?

Why are Apps still not syncing between my iPhone 4S and iPad 4?

I have a new iPad 4 and I also have an iPhone 4S. I have enabled 'Automatic Downloads' on both, but for some reason, I can download Apps on one device and they're not showing up on the other. The only thing I can figure is that maybe some of the Apps downloaded on the iPad, for example, aren't compatible with the iPhone 4S and therefore they don't automatically download. Or, and I hope note, there's a glitch in the system :-(
I like to have all my stuff sync'd to the extent possible, but this automated App synchronization doesn't really seem to be happening as advertised.
And yes, I did go into iTunes on my PC and enable the automatic downloads there as well on the Preferences tab.
Some example Apps that didn't download from my iPad to my iPhone are USA Today, Men's Health Mag, UPS and Quick Scan barcode scanner.
Any help is much appreciated.

I may recall that you might have to charge your device in order for the automatic download to work. But I'm not 100% sure, it is worth trying out.

Why are apps appearing in my music folder?

Just wondering if I can delete these ".IPA" (iOS App) files and .XML files that have appeared in my Music folder. I'm on a PC, so the files are assigned to iTunes, but I still don't know why they're here. I think they appeared after I synced my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) with the computer. There's also over 300 "ITC2" files which I have no clue about. All the app files are apps I have on my iPod, so that much makes sense, and some of the "ITC2" files are the same name as the 2 books I have on my iPod. All the others are just things like "4C9515F643471A36-D9A5A87B5F4A4EDF.ITC2". I just want to know if I can delete them really.
Thanks
PS: Isn't leaving iOS app files lying around kind of asking me to share them for free on the internet? Just saying.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
.ipa files are your apps and should end up in Mobile Applications. .itc2 files are cached artwork and should end up in the Album Artwork folders. These are normal parts of the iTunes library and should be left alone. I can't tell exactly what you did when you connected your device but it looks like you allowed iTunes to transfer your purchases into your library. This is a good thing. If your iPod was lost, stolen or damaged, you would have the files needed to rebuild your setup on a replacement device.
The iTunes folder is normally created inside your profile's Music folder, with the iTunes Media folder inside iTunes. If the files in question are appearing outside of the normal folder structure outlined above then perhaps you have the wrong setting for the media folder.

HT1420 I have 5 computers already authorized with my Apple ID. How can I add one more. My home has 1 IMAC, 2 Macbook Pros, 1 Ipad and 2 Iphones. Why are you now limiting me to five computers on my Apple ID when I am clearly an Apple product supporter.

I have six products in my home. I can only authorize five using my Apple ID. All my products are Apple - 1 IMAC, 2 MacBook Pros, 2 Iphones and 1 IPAD. This doesn't seem right - We are so Mac'd out in our home and yet we are now being limited to the number of products we can have using the same Apple ID. Any advice as to how to find a workable soliution to this?
Thanks

Authorise Only Applies to Computers... Not Devices...
You state you have 1 IMAC, 2 MacBook Pros, ... this = 3 Computers... you can Authorise up to 5 computers.

Why do app downloads time out? iTunes 10.6.3.25

I have VZW FiOS, running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on Windows 7 and everytime I download app updates to iTunes they time out - it does not matter if there is 1 app, 3, 30, or more - I find I'm constantly clicking on dialog boxes and the "resume all" button in the downloads window. This is the only progra. Using the same connection on my iPhone they do not time out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Okay I waited 2 weeks and in that time I had one multiple app download session where I disabled my firewall and still had the issue so I reenabled my firewall. I'm in the process of downloading a total of 48 app updates and thus far it has not kicked out the error. This is telling me that the issue was on Apple's end and it appears to be fixed. I'll give it one more multi-app download session. Thanks for the help and the suggestions.

Why are apps taking so long to download/update in the app store?

Applications i am trying to download or update in the app store on my macbook air (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) take days/weeks to load at least half on average. Why is this happening and how can i speed the downloads/updates up, it's frustrating.

It's probably your internet speed, or something on your computer is impeding the speed. Try to do the updates from safe mode. OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Why are apps purchased on my iPod also downloading to my iPhone

We received a new iPad for Christmas and now every time we purchased an app on the iPad it also starts downloading on my iPhone five. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

On you iPhone, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and under Automatic Downloads turn Apps to Off. (Also turn Music and Books to Off if you don't want these to be automatically download either.)

Why are apps showing in music and playlists

never saw it before, but my apps are showing up in my music list and playlists - any idea why and how do remove without deleting the app? thanks.

They were bought by the same account and you haven't changed countries ? Some film studios don't allow re-downloading, but you should be able to copy/sync them between your computers/devices - film studios and other content providers occasionally remove their items from the store, so there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item from the store.
If they are still in your country's store then you could check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

Iphone3gs to iPhone4s, why are apps missing?

Hey anyone know why My iTunes is asking to download an app(Instagram) from my cell to iTunes? I have been looking for it to use.
I have reset network, I have deleted app from cell and iTunes, reinstalled both, yet it would download just before it finishes it would disappear.
Any ideas?

Am I missing something here?
Yes, apps sold in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices; iPhones, iPads and iPods Touch.
Apps sold in the Mac App Store are for Macs.
iOS apps don't run on Macs and Mac apps don't run on Macs. If a developer has developed an app for both operating systems, they are sold separately in their respective app store.

Why are the downloaded files unable to be extracted?

I've downloaded, or attempted to download the first app 3 times. An hour later a message stating that the files are unable to be extracted. I have Windows 7 and don't understand how interesting this thing can be if it's this hard to simply download the stuff I've already paid for. Not looking forward to Photoshop. Please help.

The downloads are huge and if you have an iffy internet connection they are probably stopping before being fully downloaded, which the extraction process can detect and give an error about.
You might try another browser or at least clear your cache on the browser you’re retrying on, so it doesn’t continue to use the partially downloaded file.
It also could be a virus-scanner or other internet-protection that is blocking access to the file once it is downloaded, so you might disable those sorts of things for the time you’re downloading, although make sure you’re download from an Adobe site, not somewhere else.
