Why are apps not syncing between my iPhone and iTunes?

Hi!  When I connect my iPhone to my computer and sync with iTunes, everything gets synced except my apps!  If I get a new app in iTunes, it will not sync across to my iPhone.  I have to download the app from the App Store on my iPhone.  If I delete an app from my iTunes, it does not delete on my iPhone.  I have to delete it myself from the iPhone.  I cannot move apps across iPhone pages in iTunes and have it sync to my iPhone, either.  Yes, my iTunes is authorized, and the Run Diagnostics all works with no errors.  What am I doing wrong?  What setting do I need to change?  Thanks!

I just want to clarify that the syncing process goes through all its steps:  preparing, contacts, calendars, notes, email accounts,... then "determining apps to sync" flashes really fast, and the syncing ends without doing anything with my apps!

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?

    Not sure exactly what you are going for...
    You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
    BTW...  apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
    It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!

  • Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

    I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

    First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.

  • Apps not syncing between iPad 3 and iPhone4S

      I recently noticed that my apps aren't in sync with each other between my iPad and iPhone.
      For instance, on the iPhone lets say I have Mail and Twitter accounts set up to automatically notify me when I have messages.
      So if my iPhone shows I have 4 mail messages and 2 tweets, my iPad would show no messages or tweets.
      This is similar to iPhone iMessage texts not syncing to my MacBook Pro iMessage app.
      I can't seem to find an answer to this as it was working before the iOS7 update.
      Any ideas?

    OK. I have solved it for my computer:
    First need to make sure that in iCal (on the Mac laptop) an iCloud account is activated (under preferences/accounts), then need to select one of the iCloud calendars (any one of them, doesn't seem to matter which) as the default calendar (again under preferences/general). Need to do same on iphone, if this hasn't been done previously (I had already done this though).
    After that, any new appointments made on the laptop seem to appear on iCloud. To move over the old appointments, have to select each one individually and change the calendar from the 'on my mac' to the equivalent iCloud one (all the calendars have an iCloud duplicate).
    Still getting a couple of duplicates around invited & repeat appointments, but should resolve eventually once I start making all my appointments on the iCloud calendars.
    Cheers ;-)

  • HT5295 Why dont pod casts sync between my IPhone and my iPad?

    The new podcast app is great but it seems that podcasts in the app should be synced to all devices via the cloud. Does it do this, mine does not.

    I think I have figured out how syncing works for podcast playback. The podcast must be downloaded and not streaming on both devices. The settings are individual for both devises as well so you must change each setting for each podcast (nice but also pain in the butt). It appears that the server looks to see which device the downloaded podcast was last played on and the time stamp then the next device you begin playing the same downloaded podcast on it will automatically move to that last played time stamp.
    The key for synced playback to work is to set any podcasts you have to auto download and specify how many you want it to download. Once the podcasts are downloaded on both devices playback will sync across both from the last played device.
    Seems there is some room for improvement here, ie option to sync settings, podcasts downloaded & subscribed, maybe in a future update.

  • How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all.
    So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
    Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
    Many thanks in advance!
    J

    In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
    There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
    It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
    It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
    If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

  • My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone

    My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone.  Everything for icalendar and icloud is turned on for all devices.  PLEASE HELP

    Settings>icloud.  Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
    If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page.  If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud.  If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

  • Why do apps not sync -- it says computer not authorized.  I tried unauthorizing my computer and then reauthorizing and I tried deleting the sc file.  It still says the app is not authorized on this computer.

    Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

    Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.
