Why is my iPod losing its apps? Why can't I sync them anymore?

What apps?
When do they get "lost"?
What model iPod and iOS?
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing them? Settings?General>Restrictions
What happens when you try to redownload them directly to the iPod (if the iPod has iOS 4.3 or later)
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

Why has playlist for videos been removed? As I have nearly as much movies as music that need to be grouped, why can I not group them anymore instead of going thru 500 icons to find what I want to see. This has to be fixed!

Dont even try player xtreme. Didn't work. Or video clip that was recommended for a dollar. Didnt work either to get around this problem!

Apple is not here.
It's a user to user forum.
Tell Apple about it here:

Why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

Why would you need to sync any more than just 1? What exactly is happening? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.
However, it sounds like it may be more of an Audible issue, in which case you should contact Audible's support.

HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Hi Drumsing,
As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
Hope this helps,

Why can't I sync my ipad air to my older Dell computer????

Why can't I sync my ipad air w/ my older Dell Computer?

Start iTunes on the computer.
Connect your iPad to the computer.
SELECT your iPad in iTunes. Look for the small device icon in the top bar of iTunes. Click on that.
A sidebar should be on the left.
Select the Music, Photos, videos, App etc. that you want to have on your iPad.,
Then click on Sync or Apply whichever shows.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

Why can I not sync all my songs on itouch. Previously had 4800 song on 32g itouch. after a reset reloaded same playlists..no format change same content itouch will now only hold 2800 of the previous 4800 songs

Why can I not sync all of my songs on my itouch.. Previously had over 4800 songs on itouch after a factory reset and new sync of the same unaltered files the itouch will only hold 2800 songs before it runs out of space.. Again same songs/files. any one got a clue?

Before you restored it, did you check that box on the sync screen that downconverts the songs to a slower bitrate? That's the only thing that I can think of other than you adding more of other things (apps, pictures, videos, etc.) this time around but not the last time

Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)

Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)?

If it's already in iTunes, you can reconver the video to an even more friendly iTunes format using iTunes' built in converter. Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the menu bar.
When the video(s) has/have finished converting, configure them to sync to your iPod.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

missyzz,
which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

Why can I not copy paste anymore in Dreamweaver CC?

Help! Why can I not copy paste anymore in Dreamweaver CC? It was working fine a week ago, did not install or delete anything in this time, the options from the pull down menu are ghosted, ctrl+c ctrl+v doesnt work. I could use paste special from the pull down menu and did. Paste special worked once, now is ghosted too.

Try renaming the Configuration folder to Configuration-backup.
The folder can be found as in http://www.dmxzone.com/go/16740/clearing-dreamweaver-s-cache/

What message are you getting, if any?
Is your iPad showing up in iTunes when you connect it? If not, unplug it from the computer and re-plug it. Sometimes it is best to try a different USB port.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
