Buying apps from different computers - how to get everything on the iphone

Hi,
I have an iphone which I sync mainly with my home mac for music, videos, photos, and apps.
I also sync the iphone with my work windows PC for contacts and calendars.
Both the mac and the PC are authorised on my same iTunes account.
From time to time, I buy apps from my work PC, when they're on sale and because they're too large to download under 3G. (no wifi at work)
But I don't know how to get those apps on the iPhone then ? I didn"t try to sync the iphone with the PC for apps, as I am afraid this will break everything.
I tried to copy the .ipa files from the PC to the mac with a USB key, but then iTunes on the mac don't seem to "see" those IPAs...
So what is the solution ?
Thanks in advance,
best

You need to drag them into the open iTunes application window.

    Hi..
    Try a reset...
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

  • Is there any way to sync apps from different computers in one ipod touch?

    Hi
    So, I have synced my iPod touch with iTunes in my mac and now I want to install some applications that my brother has in his computer.
    *Is there any way I can sync applications in my iPod touch using different computers, without losing the apps that are already installed in the device?*
    Thanks a bunch for your help!
    Best,
    Ezequiel

    Wow, that was fast! thanks!
    So, if I do that, I'll transfer all the apps from the iPod to my brother's computer and then I'll just need to sync everything back to my iPod... and I'll also need to do the same thing with my mac, in order not to lose the apps that I copied from my brother's pc, right?

  • Can I combine bookmarks etc from different computers when syncing Firefox or will the main computer erase the other devices' bookmarks, etc?

    I have different bookmarks on the different computers that I want to sync. I want to have all the bookmarks on all the devices. Is this possible when I sync? Thank you.

    Hi!
    Yes, Firefox Sync merges and adds all the info in all the profiles. It doesn't delete the information on any of them. That way you will have the information from any of your devices in the rest of the devices.

  • How to get everything off the iPod and onto a New Drive "C"

    Yeah, I lost my "C" Drive, My Documents, My Music, iTunes Music Library, everything.
    I have a HUGE Library of Audio Bibles, Audio Books, Lectures and other Spoken Word material currently residing on my iPod. I had to build most of the tagging and artwork for it myself as much of it pre-dates Gracenote.
    Is there a procedure I can utilize to copy the material from my iPod onto a New "C" Drive?
    Or should I start digging out my back-up disc's and get ready for a long weekend of re-construction?

    this is an option
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    or
    you can download third party software that will allow you to take the information on your ipod and trasfer it back on to your computer.. you can find these programs at www.versiontracker.com
    a few that are free for windows are iPod->Folder 1.2 or YamiPod - 1.0.1
    if you use a mac I suggest senuti
    all of these can be found on www.versiontracker.com
    good luck

  • I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to go and buy apps from Itunes and App store it askes for ssecurity codes because it is the 1st time using it. can not remember. How do I reset it or find them?

    I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to buy apps from apps store and Itunes it says this is the 1st time doing it so wants me to answer security questions. Granddaughter put 2 in the ipod but can't remember them. how do i either change them so I know what they are or just take them out again?

    Strange; yesterday there was a link via which you could get a reset email sent, but today that link is missing. So if you've forgotten your answers, there is no way around the problem without involving Apple. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • I'm trying to share a new Canon printer wirelessly between my HP laptop and my iMac.  I've successfully printed from both computers, but, I get errors trying to print on one after I've printed on the other.  Any ideas on how to get them to both to print?

    I installed a new Canon printer several months ago that I was told by the salesman could be shared between my iMAC and HP laptop.  I have successfully used the printer wirelessly from both computers, however, it gets hung up switching between the two and I'm not sure what to do to get it to be consistent.  Any ideas?  

    You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

  • I have an Apple ID created in India. I will be living in US now on. So when I try to buy apps from here, I get a reply saying, I need to change my store to US. So do I have to create a new ID or can I in anyway continue with this same ID ?

    You can use the same ID but you will need a U.S. based credit or debit card account.
    This applies to the Mac App Store as well as iTunes...

    Hi, I'm living in the US for a while but I just have french credit cards, how can I buy App from the App Store US??

    You need a payment method associated with the country you are in.  I would purchases an iTunes Gift card in the USA and use that as your payment method and then delete the card from the account.  You may also have the change the addess in your iTunes aaccount t a USA account.

    Is that a way to purchase app from different country store?

    Well, if you are in India, and are using a credit card registered there, and associated with your userid and the India app store you should be able to purchase an app from that app store.
    If you are in the UK and attempting to purchase from the India store you may not be able to even connect...you might try and see if you can and what happens.

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

  • Gathering documents from different computers?

    Im writing a project on about 100 pages, we are seven students writing it, and we are all contributim by writing from different computers using different writing programs. This means that I have to gather documents with different margins, spacings etc. when im finnishing the projekt.
    How can I make all margins, spacing etc. the same? And exactly what should I remember to change, in order to get the document to look like it was written from one computer?

    Well my first initial thought would be close to what you are describing, to gather all documents in one document, mark it all and start changeing, but what I want to make sure is to what settings I need to be aware of, are there other than margins, font, spacings? There are different spacings from when you hit enter to a new line to when you press the tabulator to indent a new line. Just clicking on the i button and then the T, alot of different settings comes up concerning different spacings, linings etc.
