Can anyone tell me how to access the sync apps button please? I used to be able to select it but it is no longer visible.
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4
In iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>General and make sure the "Apps" selection button is ticked.
Thanks - but Apps is ticked under "sources" in preferences>general.
Do you have Restrictions enabled on your iPhone?
If so, so you have installing apps turned on as a restriction?
Hello. I have Restrictions set to "off". Do you think that is the problem
Restrictions being off means there are no restrictions.
Is there an Install selection next to an app under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes that is not installed on your iPhone?
Hi again.
No - the only option next to all the Apps is "remove".
That means all apps in your iTunes library are installed on your iPhone.
When I update an App on my laptop, but not on my phone, the option to update or sync Apps still is not available. If I download an update on my phone I use "transfer purchase" to update iTunes on the laptop, but nothing seems to work the other way.
If you update an app from your computer, the update will be sync'd to your iPhone on the next connection, though you may need to initiate the sync by clicking the sync button while connected to iTunes.
Not needed if an app that is already installed on your iPhone is updated with iTunes since the update will be installed on your iPhone automatically with the next sync after the app update is downloaded with iTunes on your computer . For the most part I download app updates with iTunes on my computer and the app updates are installed on my iPhone and iPad automatically for all apps in my iTunes library that are currently installed on my iPhone and iPad.
The new iTunes 11.0.3 has moved the button to the top when you select the Apps (left panel).
Thanks for your help - but the Apps don'y sync! Other items sync but I can't find a way to include Apps in the sync. I used to be able to......
Thanks - but I still can't see it! Can you tell me exactly where it shoudl be just in case i'm missing it?
You have to connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes Sidebar.
If you don't see the Sidebar, toggle it on in iTunes menu View > Show Sidebar.
Take a look at this screenshot on updating apps.
Thanks again. My page looks a bit different but I can get updates. But the problem is that the updates don't sync with my iPhone. I used to have a very clear setting for syncing Apps, but just can't find it any more. So I have to do updates on my phone and on my laptop separately (ie twice) if I want them both to be the same.
The option to sync apps is no longer available in iTunes, though it used to be. Can anyone tell me how to access the sync apps button please?
