Ability to transfer purchased applications on 1G iPhone 2.0 to iPhone 3G?

Hi all,
I've had my iPhone since June 29th and was one of the fortunate ones who updated to 2.0 this morning without any troubles. I've already spent about $40 in apps and love the new software. However, I will likely eventually upgrade to an iPhone 3G (perhaps when a 32GB model ships) but after reading the below KB article about how the iPhone backup process works, I'm worried that I will not be able to use all of my purchased apps on the 3G when I switch. See below. This doen't seem right. Anyone have any ideas?
"Applications purchased from the App Store are included in the backup, however they can only be successfully restored to the same device that they were backed up from."

I am wondering the same thing. After all, you are upgrading your phone. If I (smartly) wait a week for all of the furvor and lines to die down before buying the 3G, will i have to repurchase all of the apps again?

    Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing it.

    Hi.  I'm trying to transfer purchases to update my iphone but the suggested options are either greyed out or don't exist.  How do I transfer purchases?

    Just to clarify -  When I follow the instructions to "transfer purchases from iphone to computer" prior to updating my iphone the options suggested are greyed out. The Transfer Purchases option under Devices in the File menu is greyed out. Can anyone explain why its greyed out and how I can make the option available?

  • Transfer purchased applications from one account to another.

    I recently created a new iD Apple but I can not transfer purchased applications from the old account to the new one. How do I?

    Purchased apps, music, etc. are forever associated with the Apple ID used when they were purchased.  You can't transfer them to another account.

  • Cannot transfer purchased applications to iphone

    hello all
    I've problem with itunes sync.
    here is what I'm trying to do:
    purchasing application from itunes store.(anything free)
    It downloads it to applications folder.
    I click to myiphone, opening applications tab. choising sync all applications and clicking to sync.
    there is no any error, it backing up phone and syncing. but there is no any new application in iphone.
    why it's not transfering the application i've purchased?
    ps. never could sync application from itunes, using iphone since 7-8months. always purchased from applestore of iphone.
    (os: 3.0.1 - itunes 8.2.1.6)

    Can you download directly from the app store to your iPhone?
    As a last resort you could try restoring the iPhone to defaults and configuring it as a new iPhone (don't restore from backup).

  • HT204266 can we transfer purchased applications to another apple id?

    I have an iphone 5 and I have purchased applications for my children. They now have an ipad 4th gen each and I want to transfer all their games to their ipads but they have a different apple id to mine. Can we do this and if so how?

    You can't transfer them to another account, all downloads from the store are tied to the account that downloaded them. If your account is authorised (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) on the computer's iTunes that they are syncing their iPads to then they should be able to sync them to their iPads.
    If you haven't got those apps on that computer then you should be to copy them over e.g. copying them onto a flashdrive and then doing File > Add To Library to add them to that computer's iTunes. By default your apps should be stored on a computer in a Mobile Applications folder somewhere under :
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes

  • How do i transfer an application on an iphone with the Data to an iPad

    I have got an application this application can be used both on iPhone and iPad,  i would like to transfer the data on this application from my iPhone to my iPad.
    Thanks.
    adetoye50.

    The data are stored within the app. It is not stored in a separate file. If the data are transferrable then the app should appear in iTunes under the Apps tab when your iPhone is connected to the computer. At the bottom is an area called File Sharing. If the app shares its data, then it will appear in the list allowing you to transfer the data to iTunes so you can in turn copy it to the iPad.

    If you are using iTunes, you cant transfer purchases in the iPod to the Mac, you need 3rd Party Software.

  • Unable to transfer purchased applications from Iphone 3gs to Computer

    As my computer crashed some time ago, I reinstalled the operating system and hence all my applications have disappeared from my itunes. I have already authorised my computer again but when my iphone 3gs is plugged in, I will receive a prompt saying that the purchases could not be transferred as my computer is not authorised. Deauthorising and reauthorising my computer does not work as I have tried that a few times already. This infinite loop is killing me.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I actually found a solution in another forum. I have two iTunes accounts. I authorized iTunes with my other account and it synced just fine. It's really kind of dumb that I have two accounts. One is simply a user name, the other account is the same user name as my e-mail address. ie: kevinsharp (1st acct.) & [email protected] Every other bit of info in the two accts are the same: cc number, address, secret question, etc.
    I really thought I had only one acct but I must have created another setting up my iPad.
    Hope this helps.
