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.

Why are the emails in my "trash" folder deleted automatically every Saturday?

Why are the emails in my "trash" folder deleted automatically every Saturday? The employee at the Apple Store told me to contact my email carrier, but they told me it was an Apple issue.
iPhone5c iOS 8.1.2

I keep Outlook Express running on my desktop all the time. The emails come into the inboxes of both my desktop and my iPhone. Once the emails are received on the desktop and I read them on my phone, they automatically go into the trash folder. If it really is trash, I manually delete them and they go over to the other trash folder. Then I can empty all of them at once. If it's really important, sometimes I manually move it to another folder. But then Saturday comes along and the trash folder all of a sudden becomes empty.

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

Why are songs appearing in my pictures on my laptop after syncing

I have had my iphone 5 since March this year. I have never had trouble with my syncing with either until itunes did a recent update. Since then every time I sync my iphone to either icloud or my laptop, all sorts of music from my itunes library ends up amongst my photographs in my pictures library on my laptop. It appears the more I play on that day the more appear on my laptop. Its getting to the point where it is taking up a lot of space and i have noticed that even as far back as last October, there are now music/itunes files within my photos - that never used to happen!!! It takes an eternity to delete them all and I am getting a tad frustrated!! Any ideas anyone??? Cheers

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?

Itunes says my music files are 6gb, my user/itunes music folder says its 23gb. I am trying to move it from old/new mac with 8gb ipod

I am trying to move my sons library to his new mac using his 8 gb i pod as a hard drive.....
itunes 9.0.1 says his music files is only 6gb. But when I go to transfer his itunes folder it says his music folder is 23gb. I know I can home share transfer but his wireless is down. Either way I am wondering
1) why is Music folder so large compared to my music library?
2.) Can I simply move the 6gb of music and the playlist info etc....using his 8gb ipod?
3.) Can I delete his previous library files ?

No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

Entourage 2000 - sent emails are not appearing in "sent items" folder

I am using Entourage 200 with POP account. I have the preference for "save copies of sent messages in the Sent Items folder" clicked since I install it a year ago. But a couple of days ago, all my sent emails have vanished. Even new emails I compose and sent out are not appearing in the "sent items" folder. I did hit "option" when openning the program and everything verify ok. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions/forum for Apple's Mail and Address Book applications, you probably won't get much help here with your question.
What is the size of your Entourage database file? Entourage uses a single large database to store all application data and I believe Entourage X has a 4 GB database size limit.
Does hit the option key when launching Entourage perform the database rebuild function? If not, do a search with Entourage help with "rebuild" for instructions.

Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
Which is your situation?

My downloads are not appearing in the download folder

(using mac) My download window--I can click on items that are there and "show in finder" and then they appear in the finder...but otherwise, my downloads folder has no new items in it and even if I search with the right file name, it will not appear.
I recently--the same date that the most recent file is appearing--went from one Mac to the other. No idea what is happening..

Did you check the settings for the download manager?
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember download history"
You can also see all downloads in the Downloads folder the Library (History > Show All History).
You can also check the <b>browser.download.manager.retention</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it still has the default value of 2 (manually remove downloads).

Why are apps taking up so much memory?

My iPod has recently started telling me that I'm low on memory and no matter how many apps I delete it seems to make very little difference. I then started deleting music because I thought it would probably be more effective but at the moment more memory is being used on apps than on music and "other" put together.
I only have 20 downloaded apps and yet they're taking up 3.7GB of space. From what I've seen this sounds completely unreasonable so what is going on? Is there a way that I can find out how much memory each app is using?
Many thanks for any helpful answers.

Apps generally speaking take very little space, unless you have something like a location Map database downloaded (think GPS app), or maybe a game that has tons of screen images. Otherwise apps really do not take up much space, which is why when you delete them it does not make much of a difference.
So, again, unless you have one of the above mapping or very large game apps, you need to look to something else for the source of your storage usage.

Why are apps unable to determine my location?

A number of apps tell me they can not determine my location. I have location services turned on for these apps and an active wi fi connection. Why is this happening? How do I fix this problem?

I have tried many things to reset the iPad and the network. So far, the iPad still thinks it is in New York. What is strange is that my iPod touch recognizes the correct location (02420) and both devices are using the same home wi fi network. If this is a problem related to the node not being in the database, how do I add it. I do not have an iPhone.

Why are apps on iPhone 5 short?

I had to go to the Apple Store yesterday because a button was non responsive. I had already uploaded iOS 7 on the old iPhone 5. The tech at the store swapped out my phone for a new one and told me I would have to install the new software on this phone since iOS 7 was so new. I got home and did what he said. Now, some of the apps when I open them are shorter than the screen and other simply crash as soon as I open them. I can correct this by deleting and reinstalling the app. Why is this happening?

When apps are not fullscreen, they havn't been adapter to the iPhone 5 screen, which is larger than that of the iPhone 4/4S. You will have to contact the app developer - he is the one who has to adapt the app.
As for apps crashing: If this happens repeatedly I would suggest that you restore your phone over iTunes, as this definetly is not normal behaviour.

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.)

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.
