iPhone Apps rant
Published September 24th, 2008 in AppleTalk, iPhone, rantsAnnoyed with this issue with the iPhone apps.
- Apps bought on the phone are not being transferred/backed up to iTunes - despite evoking Transfer Purchases from iTunes
- Appstore show that an update is available on the iPhone but iTunes is saying there are no such update
- To get an update I need to download the app through iTunes, DELETE the app from the iPhone then sync it
So basically apps can’t be easily updated, and if you buy apps from your phone, they may not show up on iTunes. So if you lose your iPhone you may just about lose all the apps you paid for. I counted 14 apps which I bought on the iPhone which are not showing in iTunes. Alternative of course is to ‘buy’/download the apps again through iTunes but really the whole thing is a mess.
You know what? I don’t really have the problems you are having with my iPod Touch gen2.
