Windows 7 App Sync Problem

I installed Windows 7 back in October and my calendars and contacts sync just fine. I have never been able to get apps or music back on the phone. When I click on my apps and pick the location I want them it appears fine, but when I click "apply" it does a synce and the apps fall off the screen locations I put them and they do not sync.
Anyone have any idea what I need to change to get the apps and music on my phone with windows 7?

I figured it out. Itunes thought it was a new computer because of new software. I just had to authorize it as a new computer. It works now.

  • ITunes on Windows 8 Syncing Problems Solved!

    NOTE: I have only had this problem on Windows 8, not Windows 7, so if you're having trouble on Windows 7, this might not help you.
    If you are experiencing the issue where your device never fully syncs, disconnects halfway through, freezes after "waiting for changes to be applied," then I believe this solution will help you.
    Follow these steps:
    1) Locate your iTunes.exe file. This can be found by the following path: Start--> All Apps (little arrow that appears on bottom left of screen when you mouse over it) -->This PC (on the far right) --> whatever drive you installed iTunes on (if you are not sure, it is the C drive by default) --> Program Files (x86) --> iTunes --> in this folder you will see a file labeled "iTunes.exe" or just "iTunes" make sure you're NOT on the "iTunesHelper" icon for the next step.
    2) Right-click on the file and hit "Properties"
    3) Click the tab labeled "Compatibility"
    4) Check the box labeled "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
    5) Click the drop-down menu just underneath that check box and choose "Windows 7"
    6) Now check the box labeled "Run this program as an administrator
    7) Click "Apply"
    8) Click "Ok"
    9) All done! Now try syncing whatever device was giving you trouble and it should work. My iPhone had to sync about 3000 songs and it failed about halfway through, but all I had to do was restart the sync and it finished the remaining 1500 or so.
    Just thought I should offer this tip for those of you running Windows 8 and having syncing problems .

    Yes that is a standard fix:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Viber Contacts and Contacts App Sync Problems

    Problem:
    I see all the contacts only in Viber contact list, but do not see them in my contacts app
    Question:
    How to make all contacts from Viber contact list appear in contacts app?
    How do I sync or what do I do, so my dad has his contacts back?
    Me (iPad) and my dad (iPhone 5s) are using the same apple ID, (but we live in different countries), recently all of the contacts from his phone has been transferred to my device. This has never happened before, so I decided he just pressed something that has synced our devices.
    About 1500 of his phone contacts has been added to my contacts - after I deleted them, they were also deleted from his phone. I tried to backup from iCloud (the last restore was 2 days ago, while I still had his contacts), but it did nothing - I still had only my contacts. Then I restored backup from my macbook and the contacts appeared, all of his and mine, but the problem is that they appeared only in Viber and none of them appeared in Contacts App. I tried syncing again with iTunes and iCloud, but got the same old contacts without his, so I had to restore backup again.

    UPD: I've put contacts back to contact book by going into vibe settings and choosing which contacts to show.
    But the sync problem still persists: If I connect to wi-fi or computer it syncs and Im getting my old contacts, not contacts from both devices
    How do I import all, new list of contacts back into iCloud?

  • Ovi Suite and Windows Contacts sync problem.

    The sync process randomly misses phone numbers (Phone -> Windows).
    I tried removing all the contacts into the Windows library and restarting the sync, but the same problem happen.
    Any idea?

    Dear Marina,
    You said "So this issue is more like a Window Contacts application limitation".
    I disagree; This is the limitation of the imagination and experience your developers have.
    How stupid should someone be, not be able to figure a simple logic that if a damn field is not available, use any !^%@$# Windows Contacts field which is available?
    When your software cannot do a one to one matching of the fields, Nokia Suite shouldn't even call it Sync with contacts application, and place Windows Contacts as an option!
    Windows Contacts syncing has always been a way for people to share their contacts among devices! What you have done is proven how dumb your software developers can be!
    A simple, very simple solution is to fill in any field which is available to at least maintain the integrity of the data!
    A little more intelligent solution, which might be too much for Nokia's developers, is to try and fill in Work or Home fields and then force fill in the fields it couldn't find. This way a contact with only a "Telephone" number, will at least have a number saved!
    Did that sound harsh? It is really irritating when you see how simple logic gets ignored, rendering an application that has had its roots around for decades, useless.

  • Windows app, javascript problems

    Hi ,
    We're building a windows app, and we have some issues with executing Javascript in the app itself (not the folios)
    i understand the alert function doesnt work because its a browser function - therefore wont work within an app.
    but we have a 'reload' link on our custom store page that uses the location.reload function and we cant get that to work either - probably for the same reason.
    The code we use is this:
    <a href='javascript:window.location.reload()'>Reload</a>
    And this is the error message we get:
    "No apps are installed to open this type of link (bridge)"
    Does anyone have any ideas of how we can reload our store page?
    Thanks
    Vauneen

    You should put your code in an onClick method, not in the href.

  • IPhone 4 apps sync problem

    Hello,
    This is what I have and with what I have to work it.
    - iPhone 4 v5.0.1
    - iTunes v10.5.1.42
    - HP Pavilion Slimline with Windows Vista Home Premium
    Every single time I plug in my iPhone 4 into the computer and I open the iTunes 10, both items start to sync with each other without me doing nothing. I have already uncheack every single option I can find to enable auto sync. But actually the sync do not bother me, I was actually happy that this lil dude can talk with other Mac products and be happy.
    My problem, and the very issue that bring me to open this threat its, every single time my iPhone 4 sync with my iTunes 10, the Constacts, Calendar, Notes sync like a charm with Outlook, smooth and sweet with a dream, but the iTunes erase all my apps from the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4 download into the iTunes 10 the few app I have buy from App Store between my last sync and now. And thats REALLY ******* me off, how can I make, what can I do to tell the iTunes 10 to let the iPhone 4 apps in peace?
    To prevent the erase, every single time I plug in my iPhone 4 and open my iTunes 10, I have to be quick to stop manually the autosync (before I lost all my apps, again) and manually make a right-click and transfer what I have in the iPhone 4 to the iTunes 10, and then manually sync the two. The is a way to keep the apps in the iPhone 4 and just tranfer the new ones as a Blackup into the iTunes 10?
    I can always can manually download the apps again from the iCloud, but... if I have many apps that take forever. Every single time I sync.

    As this is not my first Iphone nor my first Itunes device that really doesnt help me. I'm well aware of how to sync, and do pretty much anything Itunes allows, and with the knowledge I have aquired form the years of using Itunes am not very happy with the new Itunes. My problem still persists unable to sync, and storage still showing less room than actual. Thanks for the try though. I'm going to attempt to uninstall again and hopefully it works.

  • Kindle app sync problem

    For the last month or so, I have been unable to sync my Kindle with the iPhone app. I have had several unsuccessful and long sessions with Amazon support which involved lots of hoops including deleting and reinstalling the app, resetting the Kindle, etc. As we left it several weeks ago, the Amazon rep was to refer the case to their engineers. I am still waiting for a response.
    This problem developed about the time of an update to the app (July 2), so I suspect there may be some bug in the update although I was told that my problem is "islolated." I would be interested to know if anyone here is now having this problem and when it may have started. I would also be interested to know if anyone is not having this problem

    Mine are not.
    I can do everything that I want to on each platform but cant sync them up.
    Bookmarks are (is) the thing that I notice most often. Normally, I add one on the iPad and there it is on the Kindle when I pick it up; now its not there. When I hit sync, it tyys to then I get the "sync failed" alert. I can live with it, but it is bugging me.

  • Ghost Apps (Syncing Problem)

    Ok, I came across a very odd problem.  I have a 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch that had previously been synced to another computer with another Apple ID.  It had apps still on it.  When I synced it to my computer (new computer) with no Apple ID, nothing happened.  When I got an Apple ID, I tried to sync it again, (same computer) it did not offer to erase the apps from the previous account.  I kinda wanted to erase the old apps, so I could start anew.  So I don't want to sound stupid, but I could really use some help here!

    Okay, I found a solution that worked for me:
    I *reinstalled iTunes* (even though I had the current version installed on my computer). Luckily it didn't eraze the library or anything. I didn't uninstall the version before but 'repaired' it. Then clicked on 'Transfer Purchases from iPhone'. It still gave me the same error message. So I clicked on Authorize Computer, and even though it gave me the message that it was already authorized, afterwards the transfer worked.
    So, it makes no sense whatsoever, but this worked for me, and I now have all apps show up in iTunes on my computer.
    Hopefully this will work for you as well, Vicci42.

  • Iphone 3GS - windows 7 - syncing problems with windows live mail

    I brought a new iphone 3gs last week and tried to sync it with my new dell PC running windows 7 (with windows live mail).
    It wouldnt sync, so I read the forums and reset the sync history through itunes.
    This worked, and synced my iphone to the computer. It appears to have backed up all my contacts on the iphone to somewhere on the PC (cant find where) but it hasnt copied the contacts from windows live mail to the iphone
    Have I confused anyone??

    have you tried using imap instead?
    if you can access your email from the web page then sounds more like a problem with windows live mail and not your BT account

  • HT1386 Windows 8 Syncing Problem with Contacts and Calendars Office 2007 and iphone 4

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 17R and just did a sync with my iphone 4.  It wiped out my contact  and calendar listing.  I have selected the contacts and calenders sync option.  It is almost like the sync process can not fine the pst file on this new Windows 8 computer.

    For this particular issue, as suggested by yellowadept, go the the info tab at under the advanced section, choose replace contact information on iphone. This will over write any contact information on the iphone with what you have in address book on the computer.
    However, if you are interested in what part of the 111 contacts will be changed, you could open address book first. Then highlight all your contacts and click on file>export>as vcard. Then you could back up all your contacts to your desktop. After you export all your contacts then you could sync the iphone and allow the changes to see what changes were made. If the iphone actually changed anything, then you could delete all your contacts in address book, then import the vcards back in.
    Also, keeping a back-up of your contacts and calendars is a pretty good idea.
    Hope this helps.

  • App Sync Problem??? help???

    I've had these apps forever, but every single time I sync my phone they decide they need to transfer. It takes an extra 10-15 minutes every time I want to sync, when they're already on my phone/itunes! Why does this happen? Can I stop this?
    (iPhone 5S 32GB, iOS 7.1)

    Step 1: First take a backup all those apps
         C:\Users\{Username}\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    Step 2: Delete the app from the iTune
    Now apps will not sync anymore. In case if you want those app again use the backup

  • App Sync Problem

    When I buy Apps from the Apple store on my PC, I can't seem to get them to download onto my iPod touch? I set my iPod Touch to automatically sync so I thought the apps would automatically download when the computer performs it's sync operation when I dock my iPod Touch, but it doesn't.

    Radnick32,
    Try trashing your iPod's *Photo Cache* as described in this article to see if that helps.

  • Apps Sync Problem

    I have an iPhone 3G, and PC that I had to uninstall iTunes and reload it back into the system. Now 2 months later I'm trying to update my apps on my phone via the computer, but the Sync Apps tab wasn't checked. So when I check the "sync apps" button ITunes wants to overwrite the current apps and related data on the phone. When Sync is checked the layout shown is from a previous backup from 5 months ago. Any suggestions on how to resolve this without killing the current layout?
    I know this has to be posted somewhere on the site, but I can't find it.

    Since Sync Apps was not selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes which should have been selected from the start, this means all apps on your iPhone are not in your iTunes library on your computer. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    After confirming all apps on your iPhone are in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps and make sure all apps installing on your iPhone are selected below.
