Can't transfer app from iTunes to ipad Mini without updates transferring as well

I like to download the occasional app to iTunes then transfer it later to my iPad Mini.
However I find that later when I try just to transfer that app to my ipad,  iTunes insists on transferring updates of other apps as well ?
Is there a way to stop this ?

I don't want to download again as I have a download limit and some of these apps are very large and take a big chunk out of that limit.
This is why I download to iTunes on my pc so I can then transfer to other devices without affecting my limit.
It also makes a convenient local backup.

  • Can't sync apps from itunes to ipad mini

    i have purchased an app from appstore through iTunes on my computer but each time i try to sync it to my ipad mini
    it gets interrupted with the message "authorize this computer" although i have done that already

    iTunes is a mess. On the sidebar on the left there is a "On My Device" section. It shows everything *except* the apps. Above that there is a "settings" section. That's where the apps are. That's a "setting"?
    The device handling needs a complete overhaul. There are many many people who have had an iPad or iPhone for some time, but do not own a Mac. Based on climbing Mac sales, clearly some of those people are deciding "I like this iPhone so much I'm going to get a Mac!" So they get one and run into this train wreck.
    Even now, with the iPad selected, I go to the View menu, select View Options...,  and.....nothing. No window, no dialog, no indication of anything. Turns out that menu item is not applicable when a device is selected. Even with the original 128k Mac (my first Mac) they had this sorted out - dim the menu item when it's not applicable. Here we are 30 years later and they get it wrong.

  • How to transfer apps from iTunes to iPad

    my iPad has some apps purchesed from old appleID(I have no access to it). and I download some apps from iTunes by new my appleID.
    I can't transfer new apps to my iPad because computer dosn't authorized for purchesed items.
    any help please...
    thanks in advance

    We're almost there to you solving my question:
    1. My account was already authorized on my computer.
    2. From Amazon, I installed Kindle for Mac and once installed, my books from my iPad automaticallyand directly  downloaded into the application. From my computer Kindle, I opened a book and copied a page and pasted it into my TextEdit application, which will allow me to print the book cutting to my printer. Problem solved.
    3. As for the Pages App, following your link to the instructions on exporting to my computer, I was able to get a page into my iTunes and download it to my computer. However, when I tried to open the page on my computer, the following error message occurred: The document "Goals.pages" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format...." So, I went to Amazon to see if I could download a Pages App but to no avail. I can't rememmber if I purchased it from the App Store or via iTunes, but I should be able to transfer it from my iPad to any other devise of mine, free of charge. If not, I know that if I buy an Airprinter that I will be able to print pages from my Pages App on my iPad. However, would you know of a way to export my Pages, in the correct format, from my iPad to my Mackbook? Alternatively, if I can get iTunes to transfer this purchase from my iPad to my computer, then the correct format will exist but now we're back to where we started, with this action being obstructed with its error message...
    Thank you for your time helping me.

  • Can not transfer apps from Itunes to Iphone

    HI everyone, I noticed this just the other day and I can seem to figure it out.
    My Apps page in Itunes is greyed out and I cant navigate and add new apps from Itunes.
    Sync Apps is unchecked and if I check it I get a warning saying it will erase all apps on the phone and replace it with the ones on Itunes. I don't want to do that as I will loose all the modified data within the apps. (Game progress etc.) And I don't know if that will fix the problem, plus all the apps on the phone are the same as the ones on the computer so I would not gain anything from that anyway.
    I used to be able to change the order and remove apps from this page and now its greyed out. Any Ideas?
    Restrictions on the phone are set to OFF.
    ...anyone know how to add a screen shot to this forum so you can see what I'm talking about?
    thanks!

    Either you changed to a different computer to sync, or you changed something major on the computer so iTunes no longer thinks it is the same computer. The iPhone can sync iTunes content with only one computer at a time; if you change computers the symptom that you see is exactly the result.

  • How can I transfer apps from iTunes library from one computer to another?

    I have been unsuccessful in transferring my music over to my new MacBook from my PC Windows Vista. I even subscribed to MobileMe, but it wouldn't work! So, I have decided to take the time to copy all my music to CDs & do it that way, but how am I going to transfer my apps? If I sync my iPhone with my iTunes library on my MacBook once I have transferred the songs, won't the apps be erased on my phone? Is there a way using MobileMe I could do so? Please please please help.

    Do you have access to an external hard drive that you were using for your computer's backup with your PC which has enough storage capacity for your entire iTunes library?
    If so, using the external hard drive would be a good way to do this. You would transfer your iTunes named folder in your My Music folder on your PC followed by transferring the iTunes named folder from the external hard drive to the Music folder on your Mac - with iTunes quit when doing so. This will transfer all music, videos, 3rd party apps, playlists, etc. from your PC to your Mac.
    If most of your iTunes library includes music purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If all 3rd party apps do not transfer from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your Mac, you can re-download purchased apps with iTunes on your MacBook and you won't be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the 3rd party apps.

  • Can't download music from iTunes to iPad mini

    Hi,
    I recently bought an iPad mini and I'm having trouble downloading content from iTunes - both new music/films & from purchase history - but I can download apps just fine. It comes up with the following error "unable to download xxx at the moment. Please try again later." I can however download content onto all my other iDevices.
    Is there anyway of fixing this problem other than resetting the iPad? Been playing games on the iPad & will lose the progress in the reset process.
    Thanks!

    If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen so that you can see the iPad under the devices heading.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This will probably be helpful if you are using iTunes 11.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.
