Jen,
Just so I'm clear, your iPad is reporting that it contains 131 apps but when iTunes is running with Apps as the selected media, it is only reporting 73 apps? If that is the case, connect the iPad to the computer running iTunes, place focus on the iPad device, and open the iTunes File menu, select Devices, Transfer purchases from iPad. It sounds as if you've downloaded apps directly to your iPad and those weren't set to automatically download to iTunes at some point in the past. I don't know if this transfer operation will get the number of apps consistent between your iPad and iTunes but it's all I know to do. I'd strongly suggest you reply to all if you have more questions because having the viphone crowd consider your questions is much more reliable than just depending on me. I hope this helps.

Then I connected my iPad the device that has everything needed. It said it synced and made the little noise to let you know it was finished. I went in to the iPad and went to the list of apps. It says there are 131 apps on the iPad but in the list only shows 73. I don't know where to go from here to put everything else back so I can move on to the next device and get this process completed. Sorry for all the trouble. Just getting a little frustrated.

The first thing I'd recommend is that you open iTunes, press ctrl + the comma key to open your iTunes settings. That should open on the General tab and you should arrow to the Downloads tab until it has focus and make sure that automatic downloads is ticked for items such as music, apps, movies, books, etc. that you download to your individual devices so they will be automatically transferred to iTunes when connected and synced. If you made an encrypted iTunes backup of your iPad and restored that backup using iTunes to your iPhone and iPod, I would have thought that the devices would be at the same starting state as to apps and other media content. Next, connect each of your devices to your computer with iTunes running, make sure that the device has focus in iTunes which should be indicated because the Summary item of that device will be selected and arrow down through the media types such as music, podcasts, etc. and make sure your sync selections are consistent among all devices. For example, if you only sync selected playlists, make sure those are consistently marked among all devices. I suspect you sync your entire music library and if so, make sure that is marked consistently with each device connected to iTunes. If you follow the above steps, I would think your content among all devices should be consistent. Alan Lemly From: Jen .

I guess the part I find hard to understand is when I connect my iPad mini the device with basically everything I want, not everything shows up. When I connected my new phone and went through the list of apps it said were on the phone the same thing happened not everything showed up and some of the apps had install now and when I hit space it then showed will install. If the phone synced, wouldn't everything showed up and wouldn't everything be installed.

Richard addressed your first question about restoring from a backup of the device containing your most complete content to the other devices. I'm not sure if that is your iPod or your iPad but you'll know what to start with. Are you planning on running the same set of apps consistently on all three devices? If yes, and when you delete an app you don't want it on any of your devices, I think going to iTunes with no devices connected, pressing ctrl + 7 to navigate to your apps in iTunes, tabbing until the library tab has focus, tabbing until you hear the name of the first app in your library spoken, and using your arrow keys to navigate among your apps until the one you wish to delete has focus, and finally pressing the F10 function key to open a context menu an selecting delete is the way to go. This should remove the app from your iTunes library so that when you sync apps between iTunes and any of your devices, they should be removed. If you think you'll often have different apps running on different devices, I'd recommend you delete unwanted apps from the device itself instead of using iTunes. I hope this helps but post back if you have more questions.

With the new itunes, I don't know the answer to the second part. Richard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jen .

I want everything that is from my iPod to my on my new phone and iPod. I mean all the music and apps. I don't use the cloud but backup to iTunes. What is the easiest way to accomplish this. Also in iTunes on the computer, what is the easiest way to delete apps you no longer need or don't want on a specific device. Thanks for any help.
