Why are iOS apps appearing in iBooks on my Mac ?
Hello,
I got a problem with iBooks application on my Mac (Mac mini mid 2011, OS X 10.9).
Recently, I noticed I had lots of icons which are not books or pdf files in my iBooks library, but apps I downloaded on my iPhone from the app store. You can see it on the attached screen shots.
They appear as 'downloading', but they never download…
I tried to quit and launch again iBooks, restart my Mac mini… but nothing changed.
Do you have an idea of how I could fix it ?
(Without reinstalling the system would be better…)
Thank you.
Guillaume
You can backup your iTunes library any number of ways. An external hard drive using Time Machine or any other backup software would be one way. You can also backup the library to DVD. Read both of these articles.

Of course you can always download the apps again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you purchased them with.

Why are deleted apps appearing in Background App Refresh?
I have deleted the apps using iTunes on my computer but two apps, which do not appear anywhere else, have just showed up! I really don't like them being there so any help you can give me as to how to get rid would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance
I have this issue as well for every running app I've tried (i.e. Endomondo, MapMyRun, RunKeeper) since the iOS 8 update. I've filed support tickets for both Endomondo and MapMyRun after @AppleSupport told me to contact the app developers directly. As of ~10 days ago, both support teams told me they're aware of the issue and working toward resolution. Nothing since then.

Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
I link to a mac computer.
I have IOS version 6.1.3
I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
Please help!!Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?
Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?
Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads. -
Why are most apps only for apple products?
Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there. Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple. Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development. -
Why are my apps stuck in "waiting" mode?
Why are my apps stuck in "waiting" mode?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons... -

Hi ariasm21,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the App Store on your iPhone seems unresponsive or app updates are not completing, try the steps below.
First force close the apps using these steps:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close

Next, restart your device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try updating an app again. If the issues persist, you may want to troubleshoot your internet connection next:

All the best,

Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over.
Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

Why are my apps not downloading?
Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked
Same problem here. Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music. Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes. Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad. It still hasn't worked. I changed me credit card, but without success.
The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all. -

Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?
Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account? I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes. Thanks for any help!
Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!! -
I have created an ibook in ibook author and it appears in ibook on my Mac. How do I get it on my iPad. It is too big to email.
You can install MAMPon you mac (free web server, no configuration needed).
Put ePub file in Applications/MAMP/htdocs and you can download locally (quicker than Dropbox, Mega, etc...)
On your iPad's nevigator type:
http://mac_local-lan_IP:8888/NameOfYourBook.epub
You can see local IP on: System Preferences/Lan or System Preferences/Sharing
iPad and Mac must be in the same lan/wifi network.
Best regards.
