How can i Update iPhone Applications in iTunes tips

tips, I am facing an interesting problem with my iPhone. I was traveling and was staying at a place that did not have a WiFi connection. This usually causes no problems with my iPhone, but this time I had to update an important app and in order to do so I had to be connected to a WiFi connection due to the size!

Now what! Luckily, I had my Mac laptop with me and realized that I could use iTunes to update the apps on my iPhone. Of course, you still need a hardwired connection for you laptop, otherwise there really is no way to update the apps.

So here are the steps to update apps on your iPhone using iTunes in case you ever run into a similar situation!

Step 1: Open iTunes on your computer and make sure Apps is listed in the left hand menu under Library.

If it is not listed for some reason, go to the File – Preferences or iTunes –Preferences on a Mac and make sure to check Apps.

Step 2: Next click on Apps in the left hand side. Now, you will  see a listing of iPhone, iPod and iPad compatible apps.

Step 3: At the very bottom, you will see a link that says either "Check for Updates" or "X Updates Available".

Step 4: Click the arrow next to the number of updates and you will now see the apps that have updates available.

Step 5: Go ahead and click on the Download All Free Updates link. If there are any paid updates, you will see those in a separate section. You’ll be asked if you want to download all free updates, go ahead and click Update All.

Step 6: Once all the updates have been downloaded, you have to connect your iPhone to your computer. Once it shows up, perform a sync and all the updates will be applied to your iPhone.

That’s it!

Note: Overall, it’s a lot easier to update your apps directly from your iPhone over 3G or WiFi, but if you have no WiFi connection or it’s really slow, you can download all the updates to your computer and then sync them to your iPhone ! thats it
