Re: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

I know what you mean, Rose, I don't use ITunes any more than I have to since 
so much can be done anymore over the phone itself. I'll go in now and then 
to make a computer backup in case I need one or maybe add ringtones.

Well, I have not found an update button in iTunes 12.3.  I do them over the 
iPhone mostly and use file/transfer purchases periodically.


They keep making iTunes more and more difficult as far as I am concerned.
I use Windows 7, latest iTunes, Jaws 17 for the most part.  I absolutely 
hate iTunes but use it to sync and do backups.

I don't know if it works any better on a MAC, as I don't have one.

Subject: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in
iTunes

Hello All,

I am cross-posting this to both the Mac Visionaries and v iPhone mailing
list because I think the steps described below will apply to both the
Windows and Mac versions of iTunes.

Today, in iTunes for Windows, I received a couple of download errors when
attempting to update a couple of apps.  The errors, effectively stated, that
the download URLs were invalid.

NOTE 1:
I use Jaws 16 for Windows on this particular PC.  I make extensive use of
the Jaws Touch Cursor to interact with both iTunes and the iTunes Store.
The computer in this scenario does not have an actual touch screen.

Summary:
My solution was to cancel the download session, then right-mouse click on
each of the problem apps which displayed a list of options including one to
show the app in the App Store.  Once there, I simply clicked the download
button for the app at which point it downloaded properly.  Upon checking for
updates, again, the problem app was no longer listed.

NOTE 2:
The reason I update my apps via iTunes on a desktop is because, as of iOS
9.x, updated apps are no longer automatically copied from the iOS device to
the computer during sync sessions.

Steps:
The scenario in iTunes for Windows goes something like the following:

1.
Open iTunes and go to the Update apps section.  A list/grid of all the apps
that have updates available should be displayed.  If not, then click the
Check for Updates button.

2.
Select Update All.

3.
As the apps are successfully updated, they will be removed from the
list/grid.

4.
If there is an app that cannot be updated for various reasons, a dialog box
will be displayed with a cursory explanation as to why the download failed.
At this point you can attempt to resume the download, at which point it will
be successful; if not, go to the next step.

5.
If any of the apps fail to download, iTunes will be placed into pause mode.
Your only option at this point will be to attempt to resume the download at
which point failure will occur again.  The only way to get out of this loop,
at least, the only way I have discovered, is to close iTunes.

6.
Re-open iTunes.  You should immediately be returned to the most recently
viewed area of the application.  In this scenario, the Apps update area.

7.
At this point your update list/grid will only contain the apps that have
failed to update.  Right-mouse click on each app.  From the resulting
Shortcut list, select "Show in iTunes Store".

8.
Once the app is displayed in the iTunes Store, simply select the Download
button.  Upon successful download, the app will no longer appear in the Apps
Update area of iTunes.

Good Luck,

Mark

Sieghard,

Not to debate this as it has been well documented by Apple and the community at 
large that, as I posted in an earlier email, to quote myself,  "As of iOS 9.x, 
previously synchronized apps are no longer copied from an iOS device to iTunes 
on a computer during sync sessions."

I am not certain what you are experiencing but I can tell you that, on all of 
the computers I support, PC and Macs alike, once an app has been transferred to 
the computer, it's updates are not transferred during sync sessions.

Ari,

As of iOS 9.x, previously synchronized apps are no longer copied from an iOS 
device to iTunes on a computer during sync sessions.

Therefore, if you have a VoiceOver accessible app on your iOS device, I 
strongly recommend that you update the app in iTunes, should any future updates 
break the iOS app.  My suggestion presumes that you would want the most recent 
VoiceOver accessible version of an app stored on your computer.

Mark, I'm a little bit confused. What's going on with iTunes 12.whatever and 
iOS 9 and syncing apps from your phone to the computer? What happens if you 
update the app on your phone, then sync your phone to the computer, while also 
doing a transfer purchases? I don't update certain apps often, in case there 
are accessibility problems, so I like to keep a spare older copy in another 
place on my computer. I also like to have apps that I do update on a regular 
basis sync to the computer. Call me weird, but I don't like relying on iCloud 
backups, because when you use them, they just pulled the latest versions of 
apps from the app store. This is a problem if you have apps that are no longer 
in the app store.


Thanks,

RE: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

[M. Taylor]

Ari,

1.
Devices running iOS 9.x or later will only sync with iTunes 12.x or later.  

2.
It is the iOS version that determines what is copied/updated during the 
synchronization session, not the version of iTunes on your computer.  

Therefore, devices running iOS 8.x or earlier will sync in the traditional 
manner while those running iOS 9.x or later will sync using the new protocol 
described in this thread.

It's really that simple.

Ah, I get it now. Now, here's where things get tricky for me. I'll be getting a 
new laptop soon, and installing iTunes on it. I am still running iOS 8 point 
whatever on my 4S. Will I be able to back up apps to my new computer using The 
latest version of iTunes and that iOS version on my 4S? I don't plan to stay 
with iOS ate, as I'll be getting a new iPhone 6S soon, and when I do, I'll use 
this new method of syncing apps to the computer once I get my iPhone 6S with 
iOS 9 on it, but for the initial sinking of app versions on my 4S that 
currently work with VoiceOver to the new computer, would this work? Sorry if 
I'm confusing you.

Re: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

[englishrider91]

Ah, I get it now. Now, here's where things get tricky for me. I'll be getting a 
new laptop soon, and installing iTunes on it. I am still running iOS 8 point 
whatever on my 4S. Will I be able to back up apps to my new computer using The 
latest version of iTunes and that iOS version on my 4S? I don't plan to stay 
with iOS ate, as I'll be getting a new iPhone 6S soon, and when I do, I'll use 
this new method of syncing apps to the computer once I get my iPhone 6S with 
iOS 9 on it, but for the initial sinking of app versions on my 4S that 
currently work with VoiceOver to the new computer, would this work? Sorry if 
I'm confusing you.


Thanks,
Ari

Hello Ari,

In your scenario, you are absolutely correct.  However, if you invert the 
scenario, you will discover that the reverse affect is also true; said reversal 
being the following:

1.
You update to version 3.0 from version 2.9 on your iOS device.  Now, because 
you want to make certain that you have a backup copy of version 3.0, just in 
case a future release breaks access, you update to version 3.0 on your computer 
via the iTunes Update feature.  

2.
Now, you update to v3.1 on your iOS device.  Upon doing so, you discover that 
VoiceOver access has been compromised.  In this situation, you do not update 
your copy on the computer which is v3.0.  Instead, you delete v3.1 from your 
iOS device and copy the older version from your computer back to the iOS device.

As you can see, from the steps above, , you only update apps on your computer 
when you have confirmed that they work well on your iOS device.  Keep in mind 
that while you cannot copy an app from an iOS device to the computer, you can, 
however, copy an app from the computer to the iOS device.

Wouldn't updating the app in iTunes just get you the inaccessible version, 
though? I mean, say there's version 3.0 of an app on your iPhone that works 
perfectly now, but the 3.1 update breaks it, and you heard about the problems, 
so you haven't updated the app yet, and don't plan to until the problems have 
been fixed. If you update the app in iTunes, won't you get the inaccessible 3.1 
version on your computer?

RE: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

[M. Taylor]

Sieghard,

Not to debate this as it has been well documented by Apple and the community at 
large that, as I posted in an earlier email, to quote myself,  "As of iOS 9.x, 
previously synchronized apps are no longer copied from an iOS device to iTunes 
on a computer during sync sessions."

I am not certain what you are experiencing but I can tell you that, on all of 
the computers I support, PC and Macs alike, once an app has been transferred to 
the computer, it's updates are not transferred during sync sessions.

Ari,

As of iOS 9.x, previously synchronized apps are no longer copied from an iOS 
device to iTunes on a computer during sync sessions.

Therefore, if you have a VoiceOver accessible app on your iOS device, I 
strongly recommend that you update the app in iTunes, should any future updates 
break the iOS app.  My suggestion presumes that you would want the most recent 
VoiceOver accessible version of an app stored on your computer.

RE: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

[M. Taylor]

Hello Keith,

This new syncing protocol is by design, according to Apple, in an effort to 
increase security and other reasons.  

However, as a result of public backlash, such as when Apple removed the beloved 
Camera Roll, etc, Apple has been known to reverse itself, from time-to-time.  
Only time will tell.

Hello Ari,

In your scenario, you are absolutely correct.  However, if you invert the 
scenario, you will discover that the reverse affect is also true; said reversal 
being the following:

1.
You update to version 3.0 from version 2.9 on your iOS device.  Now, because 
you want to make certain that you have a backup copy of version 3.0, just in 
case a future release breaks access, you update to version 3.0 on your computer 
via the iTunes Update feature.  

2.
Now, you update to v3.1 on your iOS device.  Upon doing so, you discover that 
VoiceOver access has been compromised.  In this situation, you do not update 
your copy on the computer which is v3.0.  Instead, you delete v3.1 from your 
iOS device and copy the older version from your computer back to the iOS device.

As you can see, from the steps above, , you only update apps on your computer 
when you have confirmed that they work well on your iOS device.  Keep in mind

Hello Dave,

The reason to update an app in iTunes on your computer is to preserve a 
VoiceOver accessible version of the app should a subsequent update break the 
app on the iOS device.

Previously synchronized apps are no longer copied from an iOS device to iTunes 
on a computer during sync sessions.

Subject: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

Hello All,

I am cross-posting this to both the Mac Visionaries and v iPhone mailing list 
because I think the steps described below will apply to both the Windows and 
Mac versions of iTunes.

Today, in iTunes for Windows, I received a couple of download errors when 
attempting to update a couple of apps.  The errors, effectively stated, that 
the download URLs were invalid.

NOTE 1:
I use Jaws 16 for Windows on this particular PC.  I make extensive use of the 
Jaws Touch Cursor to interact with both iTunes and the iTunes Store.
The computer in this scenario does not have an actual touch screen.

Summary:
My solution was to cancel the download session, then right-mouse click on each 
of the problem apps which displayed a list of options including one to show the 
app in the App Store.  Once there, I simply clicked the download button for the 
app at which point it downloaded properly.  Upon checking for updates, again, 
the problem app was no longer listed.

NOTE 2:
The reason I update my apps via iTunes on a desktop is because, as of iOS 9.x, 
updated apps are no longer automatically copied from the iOS device to the 
computer during sync sessions.

Steps:
The scenario in iTunes for Windows goes something like the following:

1.
Open iTunes and go to the Update apps section.  A list/grid of all the apps 
that have updates available should be displayed.  If not, then click the Check 
for Updates button.

2.
Select Update All.

3.
As the apps are successfully updated, they will be removed from the list/grid.

4.
If there is an app that cannot be updated for various reasons, a dialog box 
will be displayed with a cursory explanation as to why the download failed.
At this point you can attempt to resume the download, at which point it will be 
successful; if not, go to the next step.

5.
If any of the apps fail to download, iTunes will be placed into pause mode.
Your only option at this point will be to attempt to resume the download at 
which point failure will occur again.  The only way to get out of this loop, at 
least, the only way I have discovered, is to close iTunes.

6.
Re-open iTunes.  You should immediately be returned to the most recently viewed 
area of the application.  In this scenario, the Apps update area.

7.
At this point your update list/grid will only contain the apps that have failed 
to update.  Right-mouse click on each app.  From the resulting Shortcut list, 
select "Show in iTunes Store".

8.
Once the app is displayed in the iTunes Store, simply select the Download 
button.  Upon successful download, the app will no longer appear in the Apps 
Update area of iTunes.

Good Luck,

Mark

RE: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

[M. Taylor]

Ari,

As of iOS 9.x, previously synchronized apps are no longer copied from an iOS 
device to iTunes on a computer during sync sessions.

Therefore, if you have a VoiceOver accessible app on your iOS device, I 
strongly recommend that you update the app in iTunes, should any future updates 
break the iOS app.  My suggestion presumes that you would want the most recent 
VoiceOver accessible version of an app stored on your computer.

Mark, I'm a little bit confused. What's going on with iTunes 12.whatever and 
iOS 9 and syncing apps from your phone to the computer? What happens if you 
update the app on your phone, then sync your phone to the computer, while also 
doing a transfer purchases? I don't update certain apps often, in case there 
are accessibility problems, so I like to keep a spare older copy in another 
place on my computer. I also like to have apps that I do update on a regular 
basis sync to the computer. Call me weird, but I don't like relying on iCloud 
backups, because when you use them, they just pulled the latest versions of 
apps from the app store. This is a problem if you have apps that are no longer 
in the app store.


Thanks,
Ari

why not just update your apps, through the update tab on your phone. I find 
it much easier!

Hello All,

I am cross-posting this to both the Mac Visionaries and v iPhone mailing
list because I think the steps described below will apply to both the
Windows and Mac versions of iTunes.

Today, in iTunes for Windows, I received a couple of download errors when
attempting to update a couple of apps.  The errors, effectively stated, that
the download URLs were invalid.

NOTE 1:
I use Jaws 16 for Windows on this particular PC.  I make extensive use of
the Jaws Touch Cursor to interact with both iTunes and the iTunes Store.
The computer in this scenario does not have an actual touch screen.

Summary:
My solution was to cancel the download session, then right-mouse click on
each of the problem apps which displayed a list of options including one to
show the app in the App Store.  Once there, I simply clicked the download
button for the app at which point it downloaded properly.  Upon checking for
updates, again, the problem app was no longer listed.

NOTE 2:
The reason I update my apps via iTunes on a desktop is because, as of iOS
9.x, updated apps are no longer automatically copied from the iOS device to
the computer during sync sessions.

Steps:
The scenario in iTunes for Windows goes something like the following:

1.
Open iTunes and go to the Update apps section.  A list/grid of all the apps
that have updates available should be displayed.  If not, then click the
Check for Updates button.

2.
Select Update All.

3.
As the apps are successfully updated, they will be removed from the
list/grid.

4.
If there is an app that cannot be updated for various reasons, a dialog box
will be displayed with a cursory explanation as to why the download failed.
At this point you can attempt to resume the download, at which point it will
be successful; if not, go to the next step.

5.
If any of the apps fail to download, iTunes will be placed into pause mode.
Your only option at this point will be to attempt to resume the download at
which point failure will occur again.  The only way to get out of this loop,
at least, the only way I have discovered, is to close iTunes.

6.
Re-open iTunes.  You should immediately be returned to the most recently
viewed area of the application.  In this scenario, the Apps update area.

7.
At this point your update list/grid will only contain the apps that have
failed to update.  Right-mouse click on each app.  From the resulting
Shortcut list, select "Show in iTunes Store".

8.
Once the app is displayed in the iTunes Store, simply select the Download
button.  Upon successful download, the app will no longer appear in the Apps
Update area of iTunes.

Good Luck,

Mark

Hello All,

I am cross-posting this to both the Mac Visionaries and v iPhone mailing

Today, in iTunes for Windows, I received a couple of download errors when
attempting to update a couple of apps.  The errors, effectively stated, that

Summary:
My solution was to cancel the download session, then right-mouse click on

3.
As the apps are successfully updated, they will be removed from the

4.
If there is an app that cannot be updated for various reasons, a dialog box
will be displayed with a cursory explanation as to why the download failed.
At this point you can attempt to resume the download, at which point it will
be successful; if not, go to the next step.

5.
If any of the apps fail to download, iTunes will be placed into pause mode.
Your only option at this point will be to attempt to resume the download at

at least, the only way I have discovered, is to close iTunes.

6.
Re-open iTunes.  You should immediately be returned to the most recently

7.
At this point your update list/grid will only contain the apps that have
failed to update.  Right-mouse click on each app.  From the resulting
Shortcut list, select "Show in iTunes Store".

8.
Once the app is displayed in the iTunes Store, simply select the Download

RE: A Quick Tip for Those Experiencing Any App Updating Problems in iTunes

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ari,

In your scenario, you are absolutely correct.  However, if you invert the 
scenario, you will discover that the reverse affect is also true; said reversal 
being the following:

1.
You update to version 3.0 from version 2.9 on your iOS device.  Now, because 
you want to make certain that you have a backup copy of version 3.0, just in 
case a future release breaks access, you update to version 3.0 on your computer 
via the iTunes Update feature.  

2.
Now, you update to v3.1 on your iOS device.  Upon doing so, you discover that 
VoiceOver access has been compromised.  In this situation, you do not update 
your copy on the computer which is v3.0.  Instead, you delete v3.1 from your 
iOS device and copy the older version from your computer back to the iOS device.

As you can see, from the steps above, , you only update apps on your computer 
when you have confirmed that they work well on your iOS device.  Keep in mind 
that while you cannot copy an app from an iOS device to the computer, you can, 
however, copy an app from the computer to the iOS device.

Mark
