IPhone :: 3GS Not Syncing With ITunes - Apps Hanging Up
May 30, 2012
My daughter's iphone 3GS (16GB) is not syncing with iTunes. I took off her apps because they kept hanging up when we tried to update them and when I tried to put them back onto the phone, they are not showing up.
I've had my new iphone for a couple of weeks and it's not syncing apps with my itunes on my macbook pro.
I get an error message saying that they couldn't be synced as I am not authorised on this compter. I've clicked on authorise this computer that hasn't worked and I have also tried deauthorising and authorising again.
I have a 3gs with OS4 on it, which i recently JB with the website method. I have downloaded apps onto my phone via installous and when i go to itunes and sync, it deletes all those apps. I have tried and stopping the sync, and then choosing: "Transfer purchases from" and it works with some of my jailbroken apps, but not all. The ones that dont transfer over to itunes dont stay on the phone.Also i noticed that all my folders on the phone disappear and i have to keep organizing all my applications (major pain).
I had to update my itunes, then I synced my iphone 4s to it to download some music and now my apps won't open on my phone. They flicker when pressed and nothing happens. I've tried powering the phone off and on and resetting it. I've also manually shut the apps down.
i am stuck in a tricky situation and would things first i know this is quite a frequently asked question as i have done a bit of searching on the net about it however could not not find anything that totaly matches myproblem, i have recently purchased a brand new laptop which runs windows 7 compared to my old desktop which ran XP, i have tried syncing all of my iphone 4s contents onto my new laptop's itunes library including everything not just music or videos and i got the infamous pop up "The iphone is synced with another Itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this Itunes library" the problem is that my original itunes library does not exist no more as my desktop was completly wiped and had XP redownloaded onto it again because it had a virus, which also wiped all of my hard drive so i cant even get everything i backed up off of my phone from it, i have managed to sign in to the itunes store and allowed my laptop to work with itunes,i have also transferred my purchases from my phone to my new itunes library but this only includes my apps and obviously not my contacts and photos and everything, i still get the pop up if i go to sync my apps from my library anyway, is there any way i can delete my original itunes library without it even existing anymore so that i can just start afresh and sync everything i have on my phone now directly to my new itunes library? or do i need to purchase this iphone rip/backup/store software that everyone goes on about or something? to be honest its really annoying my now as i just want to be able to sync everything like how i used to,
I have the new 5.1 on a 3gs. My iTunes is 10.6. When I synced them 10 out of 109 albums do not show up in Artist. They do show up in album with no artist title. The info and artwork are correct in iTunes. How can I make it sync right on my phone?
I lost many of my apps (330 apps and 32 folders), Why its so complicated for Apple to open more than 11 Pages on iOS 5.1?
When restoring iPhone to factory defaults, the same thing will occur...
So when you open Settings General Usage (after a while you see installed APPs) you notice that these apps either deleted (because of syncing), or got hidden(icons disappeared)
Is it so difficult for Apple to that? Or is it Apple's Policy not to do so?
What will go wrong if I open more than 11 pages for my APPs ? In my Samsung Galaxy I did opened more than 30 Pages ! Why using the bluetooth is complicated? Why it is not compatible with Non-Apple bluetooth products ??

When syncing an iPhone 4 - on the graph at the bottom of the summary screen (iTunes 10) what content constitutes "Other" contgent.After the last iOS update a lot of gig of this content appeared & I can't get rid of it because im not sure what it consists of.
Why does it tell me "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" ?? I'm the owner of the account,computer, and my IPhone. Why is it not letting me do anything?
Just backed up my iphone to the cloud for the first time. Unfortunately my son's phone is attached to my account and somehow his contacts were synced to my phone and I've lost my contacts. Any help to retrieve my old contacts?
I currently sync on a PC laptop that is not working very well and I want to sync with my new PC laptop. When I open iTunes it and start the sync process it wants to delete everything on my phone.How do I go about this without losing everything?
I have a jailbroken iPhone 3gs with Installous and also the appsync plugin. I have no problem installing and running apps using intallous but when I go to sync my phone to my computer via iTunes it always removes the apps I had installed. A friend of mine doesn't have this problem but he is also using an older version of the iPhone. Is this a normal problem or do I need to install another plugin?
I'm hoping someone can help me here. Is there a way to sync my notes from my iPhone 3GS iOS4 to iTunes so when I get my new iPhone 4 I won't lose them. I don't see an option anywhere.
I've got a iPhone 3GS running 4.0.1 and mac OS 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2.iTunes just won't let me sync my photos. I've tried to reinstall the 4.0.1 firmware, reinstalled iTunes but it doesn't work.I had this problem before when I tried to add a picture to the iPhone - but it didn't let me. So someone said - remove the iPod Cache Folder, so I did and now I can't sync any pictures.What happens is that when I press "Synchronize" - it synchronizes - but no pictures added.The Camera Roll is fine - it's just when I try to add something from a folder.I've tried different folders, removed everything to do with iPod Cache Folder. The picture I'm trying to add is a .jpg.I installed iPhoto to see if that makes any difference - but no .. it's still the same.On my PC it works just fine, no problem what so ever.Synchronizing music on my mac to the iPhone works fine too. What's going on?
My iPhone is jb on 3.1.2 and I have the latest version of iTunes (9.1.1.12) and for some reason it will take forever to backup or it won't transfer any of my apps from my iPhone. The hard drive on my laptop was damaged so I had to have it replaced along with the re-installation of vista so my songs, pics, etc were transfered except for any program which could not be done. Ibtried to use iTunes 9.0.1 but it said some new file was installed by a newer version of iTunes so it would not open, i tried rebooting my phone, iTunes, and even the laptop but it does not help, I have tried googling it and searching here on the forums and found no answer. So what can I do to fix it, I need a working backup and I need my apps or else I have download about 105 apps which will be annoying and long. I think I heard something about the newest iTunes which I have does not allow jb iPhones to sync.
While running a normal back-up and update on iTunes, I revieved an error message saying that my iPhone needed to be restored. All my iPhone information in ITunes is completely gone. My phone will not turn on and ITunes is giving me a message saying that my phone is in recovery mode. How can this happen while doing a simple back-up?
I have purchased and downloaded (through iTunes) six songs from a particular artist, and added these songs to two different playlists on my iTunes. However, five of them will not sync to my iPhone. They are checked, and I am able to play them through iTunes on my computer without a problem (Windows 7). However, on my iPhone, only the one song shows up.
I have deleted the songs and re-downloaded them, but they still won't sync. I also tried unsyncing all music, and then re-syncing, but they still don't appear. My iTunes and iPhone iOS are both completely up to date. These songs worked fine on my iPhone 3GS, but ever since I got my 4S, they've never shown up.
I had music on 2 computers that I purchased through Itunes. When I tried to transfer one set of songs to the other computer it synced (songs showed up on that computer's itunes), but now won't let me put those songs on my Iphone4s? How do I get those songs to sync with my phone.
I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I am taking my phone to a genius bar so needed to back it up first. When I plugged it in it says backing up and syncing step 1 of 4 etc etc Does this mean now that everything is saved onto my computer?? Including my apps and data?
