Bought app w/ itunes card not on my home computer

I bought a game app "stone of destiny" with an itunes gift card under my login name. But I bought it at my work computer(this isn't my main itunes) not my home laptop. I cannot figure out how to get it on my iPhone without having to delete all my other apps just get the one. Is there a way to get it on my iPhone? It doesn't show up under purchased in my iTunes library. Am I just going to have to rebuy the app on my laptop?
Please help me figure this out!
Thanks

By design, the iPhone syncs with _one and only one_ iTunes library for media content, including apps. Trying to sync to another library results in all the content being erased and replaced.
So yes, download the app on your home laptop and sync it, or buy it directly on the phone.
The good news is that you can do that for free, as long as you're using the same iTunes Store account. You'll be prompted for the free download after you click/tap Buy.

  • Hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch. i have bought apps off itunes and whenever i connect my ipod to my computer it syas that it is syncing.but the appa will not show on my ipo even though it has synced.how can i resolve this?

    hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i  am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • HT5622 How do I add an app or iTunes card as my payment method

    How do I add an app or iTunes card to my apple account

    If iTunes gift cards are available in your country then you can redeem them onto your account on your iPad via, for example, the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app
    Redeeming : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    I'm not sure what you mean by 'add an app' (?). You can buy/download apps on your iPad via the App Store app - tap on a app's price to buy it, and it should download onto your iPad's homescreen. You should also be able to redownload apps that you've purchased in the past (as long as they are still in your country's store) via the Purhcased tab in the App Store app

  • I have bought a 25Euro Itunes Card from Germany and i have a account which i made in Hong kong store, but everytime i try to redeem it a error comes up with "This code must be redeemed in the German storefront" What do i do?

    I have bought a 25Euro Itunes Card from Germany and i have a account which i made in Hong kong store, but everytime i try to redeem it, a error comes up with "This code must be redeemed in the German storefront" What do i do?

    Sell the German iTunes card to someone who can use it in the German
    AppStore and use the money to buy a card for the Hong Kong store.
    iTunes cards are only valid in the country of original purchase. You cannot
    use a German card in Hong Kong.

  • Bought apps from iTune but cant upload to my iPhone

    My iPhone 3G is ver 2.1 and iTune ver 8.0.
    After i bought apps from iTune, noticed it didnt sync to my iPhone.
    Also, noticed under my iTune Application tab, the check boxes are all grey off or disabled. Thus, i cant select any apps at all.
    Anyone face the same problem? And how can i resolve this?
    Thks.

    I must thank naf-101 for his advise. I tried once again and compared with my friend settings and indeed found that i have accidentally set password under Restrictions and turned off Installing Apps. Think i was playing with the settings when i first bought it.. thinking that settings prevents others from installing apps on my iPhone by other means.. without knowing it affects my own direct apps installation..
    Anyway, thanks for all the advise.

  • HT1420 I bought song with itunes card.  The song won't play on my computer or devices.  The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song.  However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

    I bought song with itunes card.  The song won't play on my computer or devices.  The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song.  However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

    and, what is even more strange...
    I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1.  Neither song would play. 
    I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM.  It let me do it for free.  Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger.  I had to pay for this one.  The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked.  So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!!  Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked.  So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work. 
    So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back?

  • Bought iPad, but iTunes will not open in Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was loaded from Windows XP SP 2.  Help

    The new version of iTunes will not open on new computer with Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was Windows XP SP2 carried over from old computer.  There seems to be some type of color incompatability.  Any help?

    Uninstalled old iTunes, deleted all old iTunes files in Program Files folder, except two that would not delete, and deleted all iTunes I could find in the registry.  Downloaded and install latest version of iTunes.  iTunes will open and quickly close with black windows, twice.  Troubleshooting says "incompatible Application."  Any suggestions?
