Can iPad apps be synced onto MacBook or Do I have to repurchase them

I have had an iPad for a while and have a good few apps on it. Recently purchased a MacBook and was wandering if there's any way of syncing the iPad apps onto the MacBook or whether I have to repurchase them.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Just plug the iPad to your MacBook, open iTunes and go to the File menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, so your applications will be transferred to the Mac. Note that you can't use the iPad applications on your Mac

  • How to avoid iPad apps to sync onto my iPhone?

    I just bought an iPad and am wondering, if I use the same account will it sync iPad apps that I will buy for it onto my iPhone via iCloud? At the momet we're running a macbook and 2 iPhones (nmine and my partner's) on the same account and apps one of us urchases sync automatically onto the other phone using iCloud. If I now use the same account to download iPad apps, that won't run on the iPhones, will iCloud still put them on the phones? Trying to avoid polluting our phones with apps that can't run on them.... can you advise?

    They will only install on the iPhone if you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for apps on the phone (Settings > Store) - and even if you have it turned 'on' only those apps which are compatible will be installed (so if they are iPad only apps or if you don't have the relevant iOS version on the iPhone they won't be installed).
    You may also want to turn off automatic syncing for apps when connected to your computer's iTunes (there should be a tick box on the device's Apps tab when connected to it).

  • How do I move iPad apps thru cloud to MacBook Pro?

    How do I move iPad apps thru cloud to MacBook Pro?  Was told I could by support & sales person.  Did I fall for a line?  Are they not compatible?

    Pages, Numbers and Keynote will all run on iPhone, and iPad... and they will transfer between these two devices after you purchase a license. These apps will run on your MBP but you will have to buy a license for each "iWork" app to run on your MBP.
    Any chance you might have misundestood this?
    Safari runs on all devices and your URL history will be available on all iPhone, iPad and MBO Safari installations provided you are using the same iCloud/AppleID and M/L.
    Does this sound familiar to your conversation with the salesperson?

  • Can ipad apps be found on iphone?

    can ipad apps be found on iphone. because on the ipad i have seen an app that shows a view of outer-space, the stars, satellites, etc.
    please reply to [email protected]
    Thanks

    You're question is a bit unclear. Did you try to download an iPad app to your iPhone and you can't find it? Or are you asking it you can download an iPad app to your iPhone? For the former, use Spotlight to search for the app. If the latter, it depends. If it's an iPad only app, no, it won't download to the phone. However, some apps are "universal", meaning they will work on both the iPad and the iPhone. They are designated by a little plus over the price badge.
    In the App Store, the description of the app will include what devices it will work on.

  • I purchased a ipad app (virtual history ROMA) but I don't have a iPad. What i like to do is install it on my grandson's iPad. Can I do that?

    https://getsupport.apple.com/ServiceOptionAction.action

    Of course you can do that!
    You just have to enter your Apple ID on your grandson's iPad and then conect it to your computer.
    You'll see on your iTunes library that there's a little label on the top left corner of iTunes that indicates you all you have on your library. Well, if you click on that, you'll see there's an option to see Apps. You click on that (remember, you must have your grandson's iPad connected) and you'll be able to see all the apps you have downloaded with your Apple ID.
    Then you have to go to the top right of iTunes and you'll find a button that shows the iPad connected. Click on that and it'll show up your iPad summary. On top of that page, you'll see some options. One of them says "Apps". You click on that one and there should appear the apps you have downloaded. Choose the App you want to install and simply click "Install".
    After that you can eject your iPad and enjoy your new App!
    Hope it helped!!

  • Does anyone know if I can transfer apps between my 2 apple ids? I have different ids for my iPhone and iPad?

    Does anyone know if I can transfer apps between my 2 apple ids? I have different ids for my iPhone and iPad?

    You can't, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't merge accounts nor transfer content between them.

  • Can iPad downloads be transferred to macbook pro

    can iPad downloads be transferred to macbook pro

    If by downloads you mean applications that run on the iPad, then the answer is no because the iPad and and MacBook have two very different operating system and an application file that will run on one will not run on the other (although some software developers have separate and similar versions for each).
    If you don't mean applications then reply with some more detail about what type of download you are asking about.

  • If I've purchased apps on my iPhone, do I have to repurchase them for my iPad?

    I have apps on my iPhone 4. Do I need to repurchase them for my iPad? (Hoping for a mini, but may get a 2 or 4)

    All your apps will work on your Ipad. Most are universal, so they work with both ipad/phone/pod. Some apps are Ipad only apps. Some are Iphone only apps, but will run on Ipad. Just smaller like a phone screen on your Ipad. You will see when you get it....Iphone only apps are a lot smaller...even when you hit 2X to blow it up, they look bad.
    Again, dont worry most are universal. On itunes you can see if the app is universal by a little plus sign in the corner where the price is. Or under your library it will sort them Iphone apps, Iphone and Ipad apps etc.

  • HT4437 Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air?  I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.

    Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air?  I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly

  • How do I make previously downloaded apps appear on the screen? Now, I have to open them in the App Store.

    I just upgraded to iOS 7. My downloaded apps no longer appear on the screen; I have to open them from wihtin the App Store. How do I get them out of there? The only option I see when I call them up in the App Store is "open."
    Thanks.

    Did you update your iOS via iTunes and the computer? If so, did you transfer purchases? Your Apps that were purchased via the App store on the phone should still be on the phone. Have you checked all of the home pages? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots, see if they are back. If they are on the computer, you can also connect to iTunes and sync them back.

  • Calendar on Ipad won't sync to MacBook Pro

    The Calendar on my MacBook Pro will sync to my Ipad, but additions to the calendar on my Ipad will not sync to my MacBook Pro.
    I have followed all the directions  on the Apple Support page:  IOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer. All software is up to date.
    When my Ipad is connected to my computer and Itunes is open, I then select my Ipad, then the Info button. 
    Under Sync Calendars I see the statement "Your calendars are being synced with your Ipad over the air from ICloud"
    Icloud is turned on on both my Ipad and my computer.  The calendar application is selected in both places.  In particular under iCloud in the Settings app on my Ipad and under iCloud in System Preferences on my MacBook Pro.
    I have also made sure ITunes is open and both my Ipad and my MacBook are connected to power and on the same WiFi Network.
    I have read numerous posts on the web and none of them seem to help.
    If anyone can tell me ANY WAY to transfer Ipad Calender entries to my MacBook I would really like to know.  At this point I would be happy to learn how to do it when my Ipad is connected directly to my computer and avoiding ICloud altogether.
    Thanks for any Info!

    Here are a couple of thoughts:
    1.  Are you using the identical Apple ID and password on your MacBook Pro and your iPad?  Are they the same on both devices' iCloud account as well?
    2.  You might try logging into http://www.icloud.com using Safari on your MacBook Pro.  Check the calendar there.  Does it receive the iPad's updates?  If so, meaning the Safari's iCloud version gets the iPad updates but the MacBook Pro does not, you have isolated the problem to the MacBook Pro.  If not, meaning the Safari iCloud does not get the iPad updates just as the MacBook Pro does not get the updates, you've isolated the problem to the iPad.
