what do i do after app is downloaded Question: Q: photos app won't show iPhone photos. Trying to import photos from iPhone 6 to the Photo App on MacBook Pro. The iPhone shows up, open photos for this device is ticked, import to library (which is contained on external HHD). all good. Why don't the photos show up? The 'import selected' and 'import all' are obviously greyed out as it not seeing any photos. All software is updated (iTunes, iOS, photos ad iPhone). There are dozens of pics on the iPhone but they don't show up. Incidentally, I have also done APPLICATIONS, IMAGE CAPTURE.. same thing, images don't show. Thanks. Posted on Mar 11, 2018 4:46 AM.

"Updated" could mean the last version of the currently installed system, not necessarily the most recent system. Are you running macOS 10.13.3 and iOS 11.2.5 and 12.7.3? Are your photos and videos in the new space-saving HEIC/HEVC format (Using HEIF or HEVC media on Apple devices - Apple Support)? Why don't the photos show up? The 'import selected' and 'import all' are obviously greyed out as it not seeing any photos. Question: Q: Apps are "installed" but not showing up on iPhone. I'd search my phone (built-in spotlight) and check every page and no go. The issue is even more apparent now with Apple's built in app- management tool. I have a full page (16 apps) and none of them are showing up. I'd like to also note that they're all games (odd right?) and there's an entire page full of them, they show up as installed, I can move them around but they don't show up on the iPhone itself.

Question: Q: I imported a CD to my itunes, won't show up on ipod. Hey! So I imported a CD to my itunes library. I even put it in its own folder, however whenever I sync my ipod it doesn't show up there at all! How do I fix this? iPod touch, iOS 6.1.3. Posted on Apr 4, 2013 7:31 AM. If you are using automatic syncing , the new songs need to be part of the selection in the iPod's Music tab. Select the iPod in iTunes, and go to its Music tab (next to Summary ). NOTE: If Sync Music is not checked there (at the top of the Music tab) already, you are not using automatic syncing . You should post back for more info, and not to do the following right away. If your iPod is currently set to load songs manually , changing to automatic syncing may erase what is currently loaded. On the Music tab, it is typically set to Sync Music , based on Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres . Below that, you need to make sure your new songs are included in the selection. If you created a new "folder" (playlist) with the songs, you can select it under Playlists . Or you can select the album's Artist . Or you can select the Album itself. However you set up the Music tab as your selection of songs is what will sync to the iPod. Click Apply to do the initial sync. Going forward, any changes to the iTunes library that are related to the selection on the Music tab will sync automatically, when you connect your iPod or click the Sync button. Posted on Apr 5, 2013 3:50 AM. Helpful answers. I'm having the same problem, my sync music is not checked, because I wanted certain songs on my ipod touch, and now when I import a cd, it won't sync it to mu ipod (it's in my itunes library, but not on my ipod, also the songs are checked). So I don't know what I am doing wrong. May 11, 2013 10:18 PM. There’s more to the conversation. Loading page content. Page content loaded.

If Sync music is NOT checked on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, how can you expect it to "sync music"? If your iPod is set to Manually manage music , you need to load the new songs "manually," by dragging the song (or all the songs from the CD) from the music library to the iPod (in iTunes). Alternately, you CAN use automatic syncing (with Sync music checked on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes) and select the songs to put on the iPod precisely. Create a new regular playlist in iTunes and name it something like "iPod Songs." From your iTunes music library, add ALL songs you want on the iPod, including those new songs from CD. Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary ). Click on Music there. On the Music tab, set it to Sync music . Choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres . Below that, find and checkmark only that new playlist, with your "iPod Songs," under Playlists . When you click Apply , your selection of songs on the Music tab, which in this case is that "iPod Songs" playlist, syncs to the iPod, replacing its existing content. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that "iPod Songs" playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want. The next time you connect the iPod, or click the Sync button, iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod. So, the concept here is to "manually manage" that playlist in iTunes (instead of the iPod directly), and let iTunes handle updating the iPod. What Do I Do When One of My Favorite Apps Gets Pulled from the App Store? Dear Lifehacker, I just got a new phone, and I went to go download an app that I'd previously purchased, only to find that it was no longer available! I paid the developer good money, but it looks like they've taken the app down for some reason. So I can't install the app, and I can't get a refund. What can I do? Sincerely, Buyer's Remorse. Dear Buyer's Remorse, It really sucks when that happens. Sometimes even some of our favorite apps wind up vanishing from Google Play or the iTunes App Store because the company or developer behind them is acquired by a bigger company, just doesn't want to maintain the app anymore, or somehow runs afoul of Apple or Google and gets their app yanked.

There are plenty of… Unfortunately, it's just a fact of life—one we have to get used to. However, that doesn't mean you don't have options. Let's talk about how you can make sure you at least get what you paid for. Android Users. Backing up your apps in Android is pretty simple, so even if an app you've paid for and downloaded is pulled from Google Play, you can still grab it from your phone and install it on any future phones you may own. You obviously won't get bug fixes or updates since the app is now dead, so there's no guarantee that the app will work forever, but at least you'll always have the version you own available to you. Here are two ways to do it: Question: Q: Installed apps dont show up on iphone 5s. Whenever I try to download new apps or install previously downloaded apps from the App Store, I see the "Open" button after download is complete, but clicking on Open doesnt do anything. I dont see the newly downloaded apps on my home screen. Infact for some reason even Passbook which was earlier visible has disappeared from my home screen. I am using iOS 7.0.4 and have enough free space to accomodate new stuff. Any ideas? iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4. Posted on Dec 6, 2013 4:08 AM. All replies. Loading page content. Page content loaded. You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists. Dec 6, 2013 4:18 AM. Thanks. I tried a hard reboot but it didn't solve the problem. Still dont see installed apps on the home screens. Also dont see Passbook. Dec 6, 2013 4:53 AM. Sounds like you've messed with Restrictions. Check that you haven't turned them on in Settings > General > Restrictions. Dec 6, 2013 5:22 AM. No Restrictions are Off Dec 6, 2013 5:38 AM. Sign out in Settings > iTunes & App Stores then sign in again. Dec 6, 2013 5:58 AM. I tried signing out and back in. Still no luck. Also enabled "Automatic downloads". I can still see all "new" app purchases, but anything that I've already purchased earlier doesn't show up even after I redownload them from the App Store. Dec 6, 2013 7:14 AM. If you have tried and retried the options I gave you, I think you should restore: Dec 7, 2013 2:31 AM. Try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Dec 7, 2013 2:34 AM. I have the same issue and it's driving me crazy. I've downloaded cool apps but unble to use them. Jan 13, 2014 4:03 AM. Exactly the same problem has happened to me and apps don't appear on screen after downloading them from app store and also I can't open them even there! I think it's a popular problem for iphone 5s, please give me a helpful clue to solve this issue. Feb 8, 2014 3:08 PM. Had the same problem. I simply rebooted my phone and the apps showed up. Hope this helps. Mar 11, 2014 12:50 PM. Wanted to reply to this and say thank you to Alfred DeRose. SOME apps had disappeared and I when I went to the app store they weren't showing the update, install or the "download from cloud button". I tried updating them from itunes and dragging them over to the iphone, after updating them. nothing. Yes, at some point i had messed with "Restrictions" to avoid my kid from deleting apps and had mistakenly restricted the apps by age group setting. I checked here and saw your post. Voila! All apps appeared! Thanks again. Mar 22, 2014 6:44 PM. Your welcome! Happy to hear I could help. Mar 23, 2014 10:12 AM. Was there an answer found to this problem(posted by OP)? I am on an iphone4s and this is exactly my issue as well. Apr 17, 2014 3:55 AM. I had the same problem, so i can't find the apps on iTunes (i have 5s). But. I solved it (for me, hope it will help for you too). Just go to iPhone button in iTunes, and on the first page there are options, where to save backups to iCloud or to the PC (or mac). It was on icloud for me, but i created a backup to the computer (with the button in the right side) and checked the PC for the new place to back ups . It sincronised, and downloaded all the apps from my iphone to the pc, and now there are the aps in application page.
