How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?

Hi all,
We just got a second iPad.  Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID.  My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad.  Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID.  I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work.  Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.

You can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    If you plug in your ipod and/or iphone to your new machine, they should show up in the left column in itunes.
    You can ctrl-click on the device there and choose "transfer purchases".  It should then copy the apps and other purchases from your device onto the new machine.

  • HT201269 How can I transfer photo's from one ipad to another. I believe I can't use iCloud as the photo's were originally synced to the ipad via iTunes's

    I have some photo's on an ipad 2 that were put on there through syncing on iTunes,  I would like them to be placed on my new ipad. I understand that I can't use iCloud ?  Just to point out u no longer own the desk top pc from where I synced the original photos.  Hope this make sense!?

    First import the photos to a computer's itunes, then sync them to the other device.

  • How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
    You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
    Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
    In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.

  • How can i transfer my music from one account to another on a different computer?

    So i have an itunes account on dell laptop and i share that account with other famliy members.

Or is it possible to have one account but multiple icloud accounts?

    I want to start my own account separate from my parents. Can I transfer my music from one account to another? If so, how?
    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

  • How do I transfer the data from one iPad to another

    How do I transfer all of the data from one ipad to another one?

    The best way IMO is to sync each iPad with your computer. Having all your stuff backed up on a computer is a good idea anyway. Just read how many folks here are trying to recover lost stuff that could easily be copied back from either backup or iTunes on the computer.
    Sync both iPads to the computer. Transfer all photos to the same computer. Then sync again selecting which items you want on each iPad.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?

    When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
    Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps? 
    I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
    I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

  • How can I transfer my contacts from one group to another?

    I have recently discovered that most of my personal contacts have been synced with my work's MS Outlook. This brings two issues to me if I ever had to change jobs and hand over my laptop - 1) My personal contacts will be shared with an unauthorised audience, 2) If they delete my account I will never have access to my own personal contacts as well.
    I tried to see how I can transfer contacts from one group to another but I can't seem to get the hang of it. Can anyone help, please? All I need to do is associate the contacts that have been associated with my work's email account to one of my personal accounts.
    Thank you in advance!

    If you use an online syncing service for managing your contacts then you can simply clean up the contancts on one installation, and the changes should update on the second installation immediately. This will only work if you use iCloud, Gmail, or another service for storing your contacts.

    At work I'm using Firefox as my default browser.
    In my company the IT administrator installed new system s/w on companys main server and changed the user names.
    So now firefox lost all the information (profile) I already had on my pc.

    One with the old user name and one with the new user name
    Also I can not any longer login in my pc with the old user name because the administrator has changed also the domain name.
