We have 3 ipods synced to the same library. I downloaded "idownloads+" on one ipod. It shows that it installed on the other ipods, but it doesn't show up on the screens. I've deleted, readded & synced the ipods several times, but still not there!
iPod touch (4th generation)
Did you do a Spotlight search for the App on the other 2 devices? To do this, swipe to the high from your iPod's main home screen of Apps and type in the name of the App. It has likely moved to another page of apps or was placed in a folder of Apps.

It doesnt come up on the spotlight search. But if I go to the App Store & bring it up, it says that it is downloaded.
It says that for each of the devices?
If you head to Settings -> Store is Automatic Downloads turned on for Apps?

Yep. Its only on the ipod that I orginally downloaded it on. For the other 2 (all 3 are synced together with the same library), when I plug them into the computer and itunes opens up, it shows that the app is downloaded. When I click on Apps, and try to manually move it onto the ipod it goes through the whole process of installing. But when it finishes installing, the app is no longer on the actual ipod screen, although it still shows up on the computer screen. I don't know what the heck is going on!!
So when you browsed out to the app in the App Store on the other two devices, it said Installed instead of Download/Purchase?

Excuse me for butting in... Just had this thought...
Have you checked in Restictions on those iPods...
let me check that...
And you looked for the app on all other pages of Apps and in each folder of Apps?
Perhaps this article can help with trying to sync the App to the device via iTunes.

Thank you for the suggestions! The restrictions were enabled on those 2 ipods. Never would have thought of checking that. Thanks again!!
Glad to hear that. 🙂
