Why wont any of my Apps sync to my touch?

I just updated he IOS on my ipod touch to 4.2.1 and downloaded updates to most of my apps. but now when I select apps to install onto my ipod they disappear from the app list on the ipod when syncing begins. they also don't appear on the ipod after syncing is complete. so I was wandering why this happens because everything is up to date. also from what i can tell my ipod touch is 2nd generation.

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier. Thus it appears that the apps that do not sync were updated to require a higher iOS.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Relax. Nothing is wrong.
You accidentally tapped-and-held a little too long and you entered what many people call "jiggly mode" - i.e. app reorganization and deletion mode. When in this mode, you can move apps around on your various home screens, create and organize app folders, and delete apps (by tapping the X).
Exit this mode by tapping your Home Button one time.

Why Wont Apple Fix AUDIO / VIDEO Sync Issues

This has been a problem for awhile. Thank god there is a application fix but im receiving an iTouch very soon and I'm not sure if the same problem is going to be on that to..
It might be how Quicktime reads .MP4 and .M4V Files but i can play the videos on VLC and Zune Software fine..
I see other people posting this exact same problems. I see no answers... Apple Knows this is an issue. Why wont they fix it.
From what im hearing it is the audio that is going out of sync from the video.
Now my Final Question is
"Is this just a Software issue for the computers or is it also a Software issue (Assuming that quicktime is the software on these devices) for the iTouch / iPhone ?

well i got my itouch today and it seems that the audio and video sync issues are only on the computer distributions of quicktime and not the hand held device versions

WHAT IS GOING ON CAN ANYONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
I've restarted my iPhone.
Restarted my iMac.
Re-installing iTunes.
Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
All with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Why can't I restore or sync my Ipod Touch?

I have tried many times to sync my Ipod Touch but it wont let me. then I went to restore it and it wont let me do that either. How come?

try connecting the iPod to iTunes in DFU mode:
First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
-Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
-Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
-After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
-After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.

After resseting my ipod, why wont any of my downloaded apps open?

I just got my ipod touch 5.0.1 yesterday, and I downloaded 11 apps, from the app store. When ever I touch an app, it looks like it's going to go into it, but it does nothing. I payed 15$ for these apps, and none work. I tryed to re download them all, twice each, and still nothing.
When i reeboot my ipod touch, some apps work sometimes, and some dont, vice versa.
Please help

Is this about your MacBook Pro or your iPhone?

Why wont my entire music library sync onto iTunes on my MacBook Pro? Why will only my purchased music from iTunes sync?

Background Info
I recently took my MacBook Pro 2011 to the Genius Bar because I was having issues with the logic board. Unfortunately the computer would freeze, emit three continuous beeps and basically render it useless every time I turned it on. Thus I was unable to do a more recent back up before taking it into the store. The first time I took it in, they said that the RAM and the logic board looked fine after running system diagnostics. They held onto it for about a week and when I got it back they had said that it was simply an operating system issue and that they had wiped it and reinstalled Mavericks instead of Yosemite which I had been running previous to my issues. However as soon as I took it home, the issues persisted and so I returned to the Genius Bar in hopes that they would see that the logic board was having issues. This time they sent it off to Texas to have all of the faulty parts replaced for a flat rate which included my logic board and optical drive. When I picked it up the lady at the Genius Bar said, "Good news, we didn't have to touch any of your files so they should all be on the MacBook." Alas they had already been wiped in an attempt to fix my laptop that failed. So all of my music from CD's as well as mp3 downloads of recordings done by boyfriend and other small artists not purchased from iTunes are gone.
Issue at Hand
I just got my MacBook Pro 2011 back after having it wiped by the folks at the Genius Bar. With only an old back up from 2 or 3 months ago on my external hard drive, I don't have a lot of my more recently downloaded music saved anywhere. All of my iTunes purchased are easily retrievable from iCloud and what not but mp3 downloads of personal recordings done by boyfriend and other small local bands, mp3's purchased on Amazon, mp3's purchased from Bandcamp, free mp3's from Soundcloud artists, etc. will not sync over to my MacBook. All of these songs are still on my iPhone 6 thank goodness but I would very much like to sync them over to my MacBook. If anyone knows how I can overcome this, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Basically anything not purchased from iTunes that is on my iPhone 6 will not sync over to my MacBook. I have tried to just manually back it up but only the purchased music will sync over to iTunes.

Why wont my recently added playlist sync to my iphone?

recently added playlist wont sync to iphone

I have the same issue with my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) on a Windows7 PC updated with the very latest iTunes. My other iPode (nano - old and new) sync just fine. Only my phone is affected.
I have one album I purchased from iTunes that won't sync via a plain playlist that I made just for that album. (The song files transferred to my phone as part of the "purchased" category. But I can't sync a playlist made on my computer containing those same songs.)
Another plain playlist I made for some spoken short story files in my library won't sync either.
There are no error message that appear while syncing; nothing stating that songs didn't transfer.
Also, if I try to make a new playlist on my phone and adding the "purchased" files to it, the album cover is wrong. The files will be available in the playlist that way, but with the incorrect artwork. (No idea what happens yet if I re-sync with this phone-make playlist.)

Why wont any of my songs start at the beginning?

Please someone tell me how to get my iphone 4 to play songs without starting 7 or so seconds into the song. And then it jumps back to the beginning. It plays my songs totally muddled up and I dont know why. I have been searchinbg the net for hours but all I ever find it is ""Remember Playback Position" not being checked" This box has never been checked to start with so this is NOT what is causing my problem.
On my iphone it shows that the song starts at "0" seconds, at the beginning of the bar. But it doesnt. |It starts at a totally different stage of the song. After a few seconds it then plays th ebeginning ofthe song! The samething happens with my childs Ipod. How can we get this sorted?

A simple Reset will often resolve many issues...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

I'm having the same problem too. I just reset my iphone 4S and thought that would help. Nope. I lost over 200 plus songs in my library since that ios7 update. My hubby is so lucky. He never updated his iphone from the i06 and he has no problems with his iphone nor his itunes. I really thought something was wrong with my iphone.

Why doesn't the messages app sync with iphone

ive recently upgraded to montain lion and i cant seem to get the messages app to sync with my iphone. if i use the messages app on my macbook i cant continue the conversation my iphone. what am i doing wrong?

Hi,
You can also set the iPhone number by adding the Apple ID to the iPhone.
This links the iPhone Number to the Apple ID.
Soon afterwards a pop up messages will appear on the Mac saying the iPhone is using it's Number and the Apple ID (if it has not appeared in five minuted restart Messages)
Accepting add the phone number to Messages as a "Send From" and Receive option.
On both the iPhone and the Mac version of Messages you can then chose the "Send From " ID or iPhone number.
