Downloading apps on 2 machines using the same account. - Help PLEASE ?

Hi, new here so Hi Everybody.
I have an iPhone which is sync'd with my Windows machine at home, all works fine.
I am at work and wanted to download an App that was 150meg. The app is too big via 3G so bought it via my work PC (and paid £12.00 for it !!!) using the same account login details as home.
Now, I am trying to get this app on my iPhone but i am unable to do this without erasing all the current apps i have on my iPhone...
Can anyone shed any light on this ?
Have i wasted my money ? Or can i download this app on my home PC when i get home ?
Is there any way i can get it on my iPhone without deleting the other apps ?
Any help is greatly received.
Cheers
Demsie

Try to redownload the app at your home computer. Since you can sync only to one itune library you can't downlaod and sync onto another without erasing the content from the other one.
If you use wifi on your phone you can downlaod the app directly and do the "transfer purchases" at home. (right click on your iphone in the device list)

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
Take it back and get your money returned. You
are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

Transferring "Previously free" apps to alternate devices using the same account

Hello,
Sorry for the confusing title of this discussion. Here's my question.
Free Apps are available through iTunes of course. Unfortunately, only the record of "purchased apps" can be seen on my iPad (even though my Apple ID is required to get them). Now if I get a free App, like that App and then decide to purchase that App, yes I can do so using my Apple ID. But what about those Apps that require you to purchase additional features (the base App is free, but additional features can be purchased)? I bought a specific App on my iPad for my kids and I bought an additional feature. I just bought two iPad Minis for my kids. Now I can only transfer the one App (minus the purchased additional feature) to the iPad Minis. Do I have reinstall the free App and then purchase the additional features twice? It's an important question because most of the educational Apps sell additional features.
Any suggestions? You're assistance is appreciated.

Hi jacyjflorin,
Having multiple iTunes accounts can cause confusion.
Would Restrictions on the iPads work for you?

I currently have an iPad and thinking of buying another for my wife. When I download books from iBooks will they download automatically on both iPads when i use the same account information?

If I have two iPads and download from iBooks, will they download automatically on both iPads?

You will need to download the book on each iPad. also you need to use the same account on both devices.

Can I load movies from one Mac to another using the same account?

I know that you can retireve purchased items, such as music, apps, books & TV shows and load them onto multiple computers, however I can't seem to do the same with Movies. I have purchased some movies on another computer, and want to transfer it over to a second computer, too, that uses the same account.
Can I do this?

Films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and I don't think that all films can be re-downloaded there). You can copy them over via, for example, a flash drive or external drive to your other computer and add them to that computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, or you might be able to copy them over home sharing if your computers are on the same network.

I am not sure which account the aps store asking. Can someone resolve this problem.

Contact App Store support. They're the folks who can help with Account issues.

I need to install cc on two macs. My Macbook Pro and my Imac. Can I use the same account?

I have two machines I use. One primarily for photography on the move and another for mostly Indesign work. Question is can I use the same account on both as it will never be simultaneous.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

I seem to be having the same problem on my brand new iPhone 4S. Everything was working fine on the phone until I updated to iOS 5.1.1, but now I no longer receive push notifications for the native Mail app, Instagram, or the Facebook app. I still seem to be receiving SMS texts and iMessages via push, but the aforementioned apps need to be opened before I can receive missed notifications (having them open in the background seems to make no difference).
Thanks for any help that you may provide!

did you try notifications under settings? You can customize it as per your requirement, for each application.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Hi,
Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.

Help!

Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

My daughter has a ipodtouch that we have set up now i need to set up a ipod shuffle how do i do this can i use the same account or start another one

my daughter has a ipod touch now i need to add a ipod shuffle i have no idea how to get started can i use the same account i can't even figure out how to sync it HELP

yes you can have multiple devices on one account just not in the same library before you sync it create a new library by:
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
Then add the songs you want
THen yuo can sync sync it by plugging in the usb cord the computer then plug in the ipod to the cord that it came with
