I can't sync Apps from my iTunes library to my iPod because when I select my device and click on the "Apps" tab for sync and other settings - the entire Apps tab is completely grayed out. I can't check or uncheck anything and even though it says it will delete Apps from my iPod as it is syncing them, no Apps are synced.

I purchased a new App - it is in my Library, but will not sync to my iPod.

All other tabs besides the Apps tab work - I can check, uncheck sync settings.

The only unique things I can think of that may have happened and might be related:
1. When I was syncing last night, I had to quit while it was syncing and shut down my computer.
2. Yesterday was the first time I synced Music.

I have checked that my Computer is Authorized, it is - it is the only one authorized out of 5 allowed.

Help.

iTunes can be confusing. See if this Tech Note helps:

Do a full restore and back up off of your last sync.I just had to do it with my iPhone. Fixed all my problems, for the time being anyway.
