Do I need to pay for the iPad version of an app if I have it for the iPhone

I received an iPad as a gift from my wife, and I also own an iPhone. Since there are some apps that work on both systems, do I need to pay again for an iPad app that I currently have on my iPhone? App in question is MLB.TV. I currently own it for the iPhone and would like to get it for the iPad (since I that the iPad version is really good). Do I need to pay twice for the same app?

The apps are divided into three categories on my iTunes:
1) iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad apps (These will transfer to your iPad and are optimized for iPad, automatically, or uncheck any you don't want on your iPad under "Apps" when your iPad is connected to your computer to sync. These apps have a + sign by them to indicate that they are for multi-platforms.)
2)iPhone and iPod Touch apps (You can use these also, on your iPad. These are usually vertical apps and you can select 2X after opening them on your iPad to make them bigger. The resolution may not be very good on these apps, since they are for the smaller screens.)
3) iPad apps (These have to be purchased specifically for the iPad. They usually look and perform great since they are made for iPad. There are many free versions of iPad apps which I already had on my iPhone and iPod Touch.)

Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning all off, and on. I have the newest version of itunes. Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks

Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.

If I download the iPad version of an app can I get the Mac Version for free

Just like on Iphone to Ipad, I noticed on the mac app store i own most of the big 10 dollar apps for ipad, i can rebuy them for free or will it charge me.
A good example is EDGE or Asphalt 6
Thanks For The Help

iPhones and iPads run the same OS. You cannot run software designed for iOS on your Mac, so you will have to re-purchase any software that has a Mac version, just as you would for most software if you owned a Windows version and wanted the Mac version.

Is it possible to make the ipad remain on an app screen rather than reverting to the home screen?

We have a credit card app on our Ipad2 that we want to remain available for use 24/7; the ipad is encased in a security holder and the 'home' button is not accessible. Therefore, we want the card app to remain as the only thing visible. Unfortunately, the ipad keeps timing out to the home screen which makes all other apps available to everyone. Short of removing all other icons, is there a way to make it stay within the credit card app?
Thanks

Apps don't time out. There is no specific time interval for app usage. If its going back to the home screen either the home button is being pressed (which you said is not possible) or the App is crashing.
In which case its something for the developer to look into.
You can find crash reports under Settings->General->About->Diagnostics and Usage->Diagnostic and Usage Data.
Other than that, I'm not certain Guided Access will relaunch the App in the event that it crashes, but you may want to look into it.

In eBay & YouTube, I get the message to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player; I have gone through the download and installation procedure several times, but still get the same message - why can't I install the latest version on Firefox?

In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

I upgraded to the iPad Version of Pages

I just wanted to add my voice to the already swarming people about my utter disappointment in the "Upgrade" to Pages.
First of all, When I saw it was a Free Upgrade, I immediately became suspicious. Apple only ever gives Free Upgrades or Free products when it knows its not going to go over well. (Bumper Cases), etc.   And it being free, they believe that they can defang the descenters.
Yet, I still held out hope that it would be an upgrade and ADD enhancements and streamline an already GREAT word processing program.    I Stopped using MS Word years ago, because I liked Pages so much more.   Once I got it installed, i found out, that I had upgraded to the iPad version of Pages.
Here is this revolutionary device, the iPad. Following the iPhone as the best new device in the History of Ever. AND IT WAS!...   What made it GREAT is that in general, it ran REAL software.   Not the nerf'd web browser of similar devices that really never worked. Steve Jobs made it part of the WOW when he said.. Here is this new Device.    IT RUNS THE SAME SAFARI as on the Mac (same general capabilities). It Was Awesome.
Fast forward to now, I have had an iPad since the iPad ONE.   Im an avid user of all apple devices. When they released Pages for the iPad, I forked over the $20USD to purchase it thinking HEY, it would be just like using it on the Mac.    Well, it wasnt. It was a nerf'd version.   But even still that was sorta understandable. A good word processor for a tablet even as advanced as the iPad, was sure to ge a difficult challenge.     Subtle updates, and such to Pages on iPad helped, but I can honestly say, Pages for iPad never worked for me as THE PLACE i wanted to go to build complex, full feature documents.
So Apple in their thinking outside the box manner (which usually turns out good things), goes and "upgrades" the Mac, Full-Featured version of pages to resemble the iPad version which had never been a great word processor to begin with.   What a mighty disappointment.
I understand that these days, Apple no longer innovates for the sake of innovation, their innovation is driven by the market.   For such a great company, with such a great legacy, it is such a disappointment.
Sorry Apple, you got this one wrong...!

When I checked out the on-line help for Pages, it distinctly mentions two types of document layouts: blank-template-based (like a simple letter) and placeholder-based (like a pamphlet).
With blank templates, you just type as if you're in a standard word processor (perhaps my use of the word "freeform" didn't help matters much).
With placeholder-based templates, you insert text boxes for where you want text to appear.
Here's some wording from Apple's own on-line help file:
If you’re using a blank template, just start typing to add text to the body of your document. If you’re using a template with placeholder text, first select the placeholder text; whatever you type replaces it. As you enter text, new pages are added automatically to accommodate it.
And as far as I can tell, new pages are NOT automatically added when using placeholder text.

I purchased a Slingbox HD and purchased the app for my iPad 2. I am wondering if I can load the app on my old iPad without having to pay $30 again?

Where did you download the app from?
I can't find it at the iTunes app store. If you downloaded the app directly from the app developer's site, you need to contact them.

I forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

After I upgrade to Mav. will I need to pay to upgrade Pages, Numbers, iPhoto etc. again. I have the older versions.

After I upgrade to Mav. will I need to pay to upgrade Pages, Numbers, iPhoto etc. again. I have the older versions.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It depends on the iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand) and iWork (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) versions you have.
If you have got iLife '11 and iWork '09, you will be able to update the applications for free, but if you have got an older version, you will have to pay for them in the App Store

For iOS the ipad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not.

I am responsible for handling the apps and not at all involved with or know how the folio creation process works.
When I build the app for iOS the iPad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not showing the folio.
Is this something related to the build process or how the folio was created?
The folio also shows up in the Android app (at least the phone I have tested with).
Thanks,

"Android and iOS viewers have different requirements for displaying folios. Any folio size you create can appear in an Android viewer. The articles are scaled and letterboxed as needed. However, on the iPad, the viewer displays only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPhone viewer displays only folios with a 3:2 or 16:9 (1136x640) aspect ratio."

Hello everybody, Im trying to update my ITunes on my MAC (laptop) to the newer version so I can then be able to update the latest updates for my Iphone-3G. I don’t require a complete reinstall just need to be able to update my itunes.
What I have tried so far is I had my MAC search for update’s and it said that I should update to (ITunes version 10 . 6 . 3 ) So I asked it to do the update but after 2hrs of waiting for it to download/update it then puts up a message saying the following- (In order to continue installation, please close the following application: ITunes).
When I tried to do this another message comes up that says- (The update ITunes can’t be installed. The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for Apple mobile device support. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
I have also tried to run the update while having closed ITunes before I even start the update but the same problem happens after waiting about 2hrs.
Some one that had the same problem said this might be happening in the older operating systems. But that does not make sense because surely Apple want customers who own a MAC and i-phone to still buy from iTunes.
My MAC is about 4-5years old. I have a i-phone.3G,
Can anybody help me please and Thank you?

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.
