Can I share apps between my iPad and husband's ipod touch

I have owned an iPad 2 for a couple of months now and am gifting my hsuband with an iPod touch for our upcoming anniversary. Will we be able to share the apps purchased for the iPad, i.e. Angry Birds, on the iPod or will it need to be purchased again?

Dear plan,
I now have two iPads, which I also (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's, but I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
Thanks!

Hi,
May i know which app in particular you are taking about.
If that is Adobe Reader you need to sign-in in Adobe Id and password and that should be it.

How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via wifi

How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via home wifi.

~/Home/Library folder that may be incompatible?
Yes, big time. Mail, for sure, has a different file/folder structure, and would not be happy.
Plus, a number of apps (Apple and 3rd-party) are "Sandboxed." That's a security feature, to prevent malware or bad coding from affecting things it shouldn't. Some of their files, including the preferences files, aren't even stored in the same places!
Or to other places I'm not aware of?
Probably. If you have two versions of the same app, they may or may not expect the same data setup.
To have one User folder for both OS's would save a lot of drive space
Not if you use some or all of woodmeister50's suggestions.
But I'm also not sure how I'd use Time machine with such a set up.
Just as you do now. By default, Time Machine backs-up everything (except things like system work files, most caches and logs, trash) for all users and all internal drives & partitions. By default, it excludes external drives.
You can change those defaults, of course, via TM Preferences > Options.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of multiple drives.
Presently I backup with . . . clones to other HD's
Good. Yes, clones are different. You need multiple "tasks" to back up multiple drives/partitions. But once set up, that shouldn't be a big deal.

How can i share apps between iphone

how can i share apps between iphones?

If they are syncing to the same iTunes library you can just sync them to the other phone using iTunes. (However, if the other phone has been syncing to a different computer/iTunes library don't do this or you will create problems as iTunes will delete all iTunes media off the phone and replace it with the media in the new library when you sync.)

All of my apps are in iTunes AND on my iPod Touch. in iTunes it the checkbox next to sync apps is UNchecked. should i check the box and have to reorganize all my apps or leave it "un-synced"?

all of my apps are in iTunes AND on my iPod Touch. in iTunes, under my iPod, the checkbox next to 'sync apps' (in the Apps page under my iPod) is Unchecked. if I check it, all my apps will be all over the place and I will waste hours trying to get it back to the way it was. I don't really have a reason to check the box but I don't know. should I check the box and have to reorganize all my apps or leave it "un-synced"?
by "un-synced" I mean how it is on my iPod and iTunes at the same time but its not synced
this happened b/c I had to make a new user acct on my only [Windows 7] computer and when i clicked transfer purchases, this happened.
any help would be greatly appreciated
And as you can see ( besides my problem here) i am out of dropbox space. it would be nice if you can click http://db.tt/TQiPs59V to make an acct to give me and you more space

You should ALWAYS make sure that everything is on your computer and backed up, most especially before any update. The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
If you have failed to do this, then you need to redownload:

How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad. I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
Thank you!

Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad. many thanks, Alex

Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad. Many thanks, alex

Greetings Alex,
You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost. Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this.
If you are being charged:
1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices. Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time, you'll be charged.
On the device you originally bought the app in question: Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on: Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer. You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice. Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process. Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Hope that helps.

It appears that I can not share documents between my iMacs and mac air without first opening document in an IOS device. Is this correct? If so then iCloud for me is a giant step backward especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

It appears that I cannot share documents between my iMacs and and Mac air using icloud without first opening document in and IOS device. Is this true. If so, then icould is petty much worthless for me, especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

iwork on iOS uses different file formats ( *.tef ) then iwork09 on Mac ( *.key , *. number , *.page ).
Uploaded documents to icloud.com must first be updated to the *.tef format and then re-written to the cloud system. The online service behind the iwork web-app does the re-conversion to Mac formats, pdf or Microsoft office. All that is happening "in the cloud", not on your Mac as he misses the engine to do the transcoding from the *.tef to the other formats. Mac simply does not know what *.tef is.

How can I share apps between i pads?

I am new to the I Pad.....how can I share apps which with my other I Pad or I Pod?

The apps should be in itunes on your computer. Just sync them to the other ipad.
Ipad and ipod apps are not usually the same. there are a few universal apps - shown with a "+" sign. you can use universal apps on ipods/iphones/ipads.

Can you share apps between accounts when using the same PC

My wife and I have always shared my account. made it easy to purchase and share. Howeever, with iCloud etc its becoming increasingly obvious that seperate accounts might be needed.
Can you share apps you purchase through differnt accounts when your using the same computer?
I now you can with music.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

Sync both devices to the same iTunes Library on your computer. Or just re-download iTunes Store purchased music from the Purchased tab in iTunes using the same AppleID.
