Why are the apps i download larger in size than they are supposed to be

When i download an app off the app store, the app is larger in size than it is supposed to be on my pc and on my ipod.
For example i might download an app that says its 100mb on the app store but when it installs on my ipod or pc it will take up about 200mb.
This problem started happening when i updated Real Racing 2 from my ipod over wifi. It is like when i download something from my account it installs the app but doesnt delete the download.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem or what this problem is will be very helpful.

Oooft thanks for rapid responce!!  It is same account as purchased app, defo compatible (3 of them used to be on ipod then disappeared)  and this is only computer I've ever used with ipod.  I also did a software update just incase and tried dragging and dropping them into device but it won't let me!!!!!  I will try the restictions thingy!

    iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync.  Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1.  What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on?  From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space

  • How are the pWWN list populated in DCNM even before they are logged-in to the switch?

    Hello All
    DCNM v6.2.3
    I see that the hosts are not logged-in to the switch, however via DCNM when I try to create device alias I find the pWWNs populated which are not logged-in. How are the pWWN list populated in DCNM even before they are logged-in to the switch?
    Thanks

    This is definitely not happening automatically ? would be magic ! you can do it of course manually.

  • Why is the app store downloading a complete OS x Lion to my 10.7.3 late 2011 MBA?

    My Macbook Air 10.7.3 seems to be operating well.  Why is the App store completely updating my os? (4.04GB download)

    If you have a copy of an older installer left on your system, it's updating the installer to 10.7.3.

  • Why are the apps I download from itunes .ipa files?

    I understand that .ipa files are for jailbroken idevices, but when i download apps (all free so far), and i go to (eindows explorer) my music\itunes\itunes media\mobile apps, all the files are .ipa files.
    Not me or anyone else in my family have had anything to do with jailbreaking or cydia. Is it the fact that they're all free apps?
    thx

    i am qwerty wrote:

    That's not correct. All Apps are .ipa files.
    An App for a jailbroken device may well be in .ipa format, but that's not relevant to you if you haven't jailbroken your device.
    Someone writes an App for Apple iDevices. By definition, it's an .ipa file.
    The App is submitted to Apple who effectively vet it for behaviour unacceptable to Apple.
    If the App passes Apple's vetting, it gets into the Store and you can purchase it, either for a cost or for free
    If the App is not passed by Apple - or not even submitted to Apple because the author knows it will not be accepted, it isn't in the Store.
    Jailbreaking allows people to install Apps that Apple have not accepted into the Store. It doesn't seem to dawn on many people that the reason Apple may not have accepted an App may be because it will harm the iPod, make the iPod unreliable or compromise their security.
    You have no need to worry. My additional comments about jailbreaking are to serve as a warning to anyone else who reads your thread in order to deter them from jailbreaking. Further reading can be found here;

  • Ummm... where are the apps I downloaded?

    I successfully upgraded to 2.0 and I see all the icons from the January upgrade (that I didn't have before) but I don't see any of the actual apps from the app store that I downloaded. Monkeyball, etc.... where do I go on my iPod to access these?
    Sorry if this is a dumb question and I'm missing something obvious!

    After the update and sync of all your old stuff, you have to sync again to put your purchased apps on your ipod. You should have an Applications tab in the ipod device section in itunes. Make sure it's checked to sync those items. Once they're synced, they'll be icons on your ipod like everything else.

  • Why do the backups do not become obsolete even if they are out of retention

    Hi,
    I'm reading 'Frequently asked questions on Rman backup retention policy [ID 463875.1]     ' and found
    >
    We can have different conditions due which the backups would not become obsolete. They are :
    1) There is an offline datafile in the database because of which the all the archivelogs or the archivelog backups needed to recover the datafile will not become obsolete.
    >
    Question is how to deal with that situation .
    I've dropped offline datafile which belongs to tablespace , so my retension policy is not working anymore .
    I dont care about that tablespace and datafile but still have to deal with them being offline every full backup .
    Regards

    That's a problem with the iPhoto book and it's handling of the photos.  One user worked around it by arranging the photos in the order he wanted in an album and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option to set the date of the photos sequentially so the book would list them in that order when added to a bookl.

  • 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.

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

  • Why do the apps my daughters download to their Touch's download to my iPhone when I sync my phone? We all separate Apple ID's.

    Why do the apps my Daughters download to their iPod Touchs Sync to my iPhone when I plug it into to Sync with iTunes?

    You can but you're not going to like it (takes a bit of work). I'll give you two options: one is a definite fix and one is a sort of fix...
    1. If you really want to solve this issue and be organised then you should create different computer user accounts for all the constituents in your household. Once that's done move all of their music, apps, books, videos out of yours and into their's (by using an external hard drive or USB drive).
    2. This is a sort of fix. If it's only apps you are concerned about, there is a option to not automatically sync newly purchased apps to your phone. Plug your phone into the computer and go to the phone preference's Apps tab. There is a option to auto sync apps, just make sure that's not checked.

    You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor.  Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

  • 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

  • HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.
    Regards

  • None of the apps I downloaded are opening. The screen just flashes a little, and goes back to the home screen,

    None of the apps I downloaded are opening. The screen just flashes a little, and goes back to the home screen,

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
