Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

Yes you can (unless they are apps that require the iPhone's full phone capability - I have some apps on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
If they are designed just for the iPhone/iPod Touch then they will just take up that sized portion of the screen. There will be a '2x' button on the screen, but that effectively just doubles the size of each pixel in both directions, so it may then appear pixelated.

  • How to authorize songs under new account without buying them again?

    Okay, so for the past five years, I've been using my dad's account to buy iTunes. It sounds great in theory but now I'm in college and I live in a different city and I wanted to have my own account instead of using my dad's account for the rest of my life. Only it turns out that even if you've spent almost $1,000 in the iTunes store over the course of your life, Apple couldn't care less and they want you to buy all of those songs all over again.
    People have suggested authorizing my dad's account on my computer and that does solve the initial problem but at the same time, it makes having my own account kind of moot. I've tried downloading the songs to a disc and reimporting them with no luck, it still wants authorization. But the point is, I want my own account where the songs only need my authorization, not my dad's authorization which was the whole point in the first place. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Or will I have to keep using my dad's account until I'm old? Or will I have to buy over 1,000 songs all over again?

    But can I change the ID itself? Like right now it's (this is just an example) [email protected] but could I change it to [email protected]
    Yes. Go here -> https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo
    Your Apple ID does not have to be an email address either.
    Note that the previously purchased songs will still show the old Apple ID as the account they were purchased on but you will use the new info to authorize them.
    Right click - get info on one of the purchases to see the AppleID it was purchased with. This cannot be changed because the info is embedded in the song file itself.

  • I can no longer access apps on my new iPad that we're downloaded on old one.  Using cloud.

    I can no longer access apps on my new iPad that we're downloaded on old iPad.  Using cloud. 

    Are you trying to download them from your purchased list?  If so, make sure you are signed in with the Apple ID you used to purchase them in Settings>iTunes & App Store, and that the apps are still available for purchase in the App store.  Then you should be able to download them as explained here: Download past purchases.
    If that isn't your question, please explain further.

  • How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

    Hi,
    How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
    Thank you for your help in advance,

    Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help   thanks,

  • My old computer broke and I lost all my Itunes music. I have a new computer and I can get all my music from Itunes except for my ringtones. How can I download them again without buying them again?

    My old computer broke and I lost all my music. I have now purchased a new computer and downloaded all my music again through the store but can not figure how to download my ringtones again. How do you download your ringtones again without buying them again??? Thankyou in advance

    You cannot redownload ringtones.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?

  • I can't restore an App on my new iPad

    I purchased an app a while back.  Now I got a new iPad mini and when I downloaded the app on the new iPad ( with same Apple ID), only part of the app is available; the other levels are locked and available for upgrade at an additional charge.  But those same levels were already unlocked when I purchased the app the first time.  How do I get those levels unlocked again without having to pay again?

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Already purchased apps vanished from "Purchased" list in app store. How do I get them back without buying them again?

    I had a problem with my 3GS iphone. At the Genius Bar I was told the phone had to be reinstalled. Since I had backed up the phone I agreed. Afterwards they told me, I should not use the backup but reinstall everything fresh manually. Now I find that several apps that I have used frequently in the past and did pay for are not in my "purchased" list of the App store.
    It might have something to do with the fact that the apps I used to use are now optimised for higher iOS. I cannot install iOS7, but the apps that vanished from the list can still be installed. I just dont want to buy everything again.
    Does anyone have suggestion how to get back those apps?

    You can re download past purchases for free but make sure and use the same Apple ID and password.

  • (How) Can I use Existing Time Machine On New Mac Without Erasing Original TM Backups?

    I just got through doing a clean install from Mavericks to Yosemite and now I'm trying to attach and recognize the original Time Machine Drive (TMD)
    I chose to install as a new computer and did not choose a Time Machine backup option because the original TMD was not attached at the time of installation.
    Upon arriving at the desktop and connecting my original TMD, I was able to see it in finder but Time Machine did not automatically accept it.
    I am able to see the disk in Time Machine but it doesn't tell me that its got data on it .
    HERE'S THE ANXIOUS MOMENT:  If I select TMD, which is the original, will it overwrite all that orignal information, or will it continue adding to it?
    I've read under different parts of the forum that if you go through this process during the original setup and the Time Machine drive is attached to the computer then you will be prompted to inherit the old Time Machine. Since I didn't have the drive attached, I didn't see that.
    Now back to desktop and into the Time Machine utility:  This option to inherit doesn't seem to exist or is obvious.  The only option after selecting the drive in Time Machine  is "Use Disk".  If I click this, will it erase my original data or will it ask to inherit the drive?  It's not very clear what will happen after I click "Use Disk".
    Thanks so much to anyone who can help, Jeff

    Thanks for the link. I went there but didn't find any information on how to inherit the backup history.  The link says "If you’re replacing an old Mac and want the new Mac to use the backups from the old one, click Inherit Backup."  At what point in the migration process does it ask "to specify whether you (I) want a new Mac to inherit a backup"? It seems like I got quite a few levels into Migration assistant and the last click that I did not click seemed like it was good to start the process without telling me anything about inheriting anything.
    Any suggestions or did I not go far enough?
    From Apple Website below
    OS X Yosemite: If you want a new Mac to “inherit” your backup history
    You can move the backup history from one Mac to another, but after the new Mac “inherits” the backup history, you can’t use the backup history on the original Mac.
    You’re asked to specify whether you want a new Mac to inherit a backup if you do any of the following:
    Use Migration Assistant to transfer your settings from an old Mac to a new one.
    Use Migration Assistant to transfer your settings from a Time Machine backup of an old Mac to a new one.
    Clone the disk you use to start your Mac, or physically move it from an old Mac to a new Mac.
    Replace your computer’s main board.
    If you’re replacing an old Mac and want the new Mac to use the backups from the old one, click Inherit Backup.
    If you plan to continue to use your old Mac, click Create New Backup to preserve the backup history and start separate backups for the new Mac.

  • OS Change: How can I install/activate PS Elements 10 on my new Macbook without buying it again?

    I was using PS Elements 10 on my Windows (Vista) Laptop which has now a broken display so I bought a new Macbook Pro (without DVD drive). I now have problems with downloading old version (PS Elements 10) and activation because as far as I understood my old serial/license won´t work on MAC?

    Hi Tank,
    Let me address your problems one by one.
    If you are facing difficulty downloading from the link I gave you, please first login to adobe.com website. https://www.adobe.com/account/sign-in.adobedotcom.html?returnURL=https://www.adobe.com/ If you don't have an adobe id yet, you can easily make one by signing up. This adobe id would help you register all your adobe products and also many-a-times there are interesting offers.
    Once you are logged to the adobe.com, try downloading from the link again. It should work.
    For your problem of "write access", I believe its because the flash drive you used is write protected. You can always reformat your flash drive or as pointed by barbara in one of the post, you can get it done easily in any Apple store
    Now for the licence problem, I really do believe that you can still use your Windows Key for activating PSE10 on your Mac. You can drop a mail or start another post asking the top posters (barbara, 99jon or John R. Ellis for example) if you can use the key for your mac. If I were you, I would
    Download or copy the installtion file for PSE10
    install PSE10 on my Mac
    Use the free trail for 30 days.
    Try activation my PSE10 on mac using the windows key. If it fails, I would go for buying new key or converting the old one for Mac.
