Downloading Apps on Multiple Machines - 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

Hi Demsie. You have 2 options.
1. You can transfer all the Apps on your iPhone to your work computer and then resync the phone. You'll need to be sure to only sync the Apps with your phone and leave all other options unchecked or data on the phone could be lost.. Syncing replaces the contents of your phone with the contents of the iTunes Library. If your library has no music and you sync Apps and music, then you'll end up with no music on your phone. But if that does occur, you can always resync the phone to your home computer.
2. You can download the App once you get home, and sync it to your phone then. You can download all Apps again for free, as long as you are signed into the account that was used to purchase it.
Hope this helps!

Downloading Apps from other sites help please.(sideloading apps)

I have been trying to download Apps for my playbook from the Good E Readers site and have installed the DDPB installer but i am having problems with it.
When i try to install the App from pc to playbook using the installer it gets as far as half way then a little box comes up saying Done and the App is then showing on my playbook.
but when i click on the App on playbook a message comes up saying loading please wait but thats it.
so why is it only getting as far as half way when downloading from pc to playbook?
i have contacted them and they are not much help.
is there any other sites that i can download more Apps?

Another way that works with WiFi on Windows, Intel Macs and Linux.
You install Chrome browser on your computer that you are using to download and sideload apps to Playbook.
Then you add the extension 'Playbook App Manager' from Chrome's Spanner, then Settings, Extensions, then Get More Extensions (or Gallery if you have none yet)
Download the required .bar file from Goodereader.com (Playbook Apps) to your PC downloads folder.
Have both computer and Playbook connected by wifi to your router. (No usb cable!)
Ensure File Sharing and wifi sharing are enabled in Playbook (Settings, Storage and Sharing)
Put the Playbook in Development Mode (Settings, Security, Development Mode) and add a password, preferably your normal Playbook password.
Look at the IP address of the playbook by tapping the Development Mode icon when you top corner swipe.
It will begin 192.168. when using wifi.
Go to Chrome in the computer and go Spanner, Settings, Extensions, then select “Options” in Playbook App Manager.
Type the IP address you noted in Device Hostnames/IP
Click Save
Click on the IP address where it says ‘manage your devices’.
Ignore the big red warning and click “Proceed Anyway”
Enter your password you added in dev mode and click Log In.
A list of all playbook apps will appear.
Click on the Install button
Go to the folder where you downloded the .bar file from goodereader.com and click on open.
The app will be sideloaded.

TS1368 Extremely frustrated with error message when trying to download apps and updates. HELP please!

I have been trying to download a couple of apps and keep getting the message "cannot connect to iTunes." This is nonsense because I can access both the app store and iTunes directly. I've downloaded other items today with no problem. Now all of a sudden I'm getting this error whenever I try to download an app or update an existing one. And it doesn't help that that it practically takes an act of congress to access a human being to ask a simple question. I would very much appreciate any help I can get in resolving this issue. I have already tried rebooting my iPad and my software is up to date. Haven't tried it with my iPhone yet. Thanks.

You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As you know how to open the iTunes Media folder, go to this folder and open iTunes. Then, go to Apps in iTunes and drag the IPA file of the app you want to show up to the iTunes window, so it should be added.
If it doesn't work, delete the IPA, empty the Trash and you will be able to download the application.

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

My wife received a Acer tablet for Xmas,to connect it to my MacBook Pro I need to download a free app called Android File Transfer. Problem is i can't find it in the app store, can anybody help please?

Any help to the above question would be much appreciated.

Mac app store isn't the exclusive way to download apps in a mac, like it is the case in iPhone or iPod Touch. So if you can't find something in the app store, just google it and download from any trusted source you find.

Purchased episodes of The Killing Season 2 and tried on both ipad and computer - ipad can't download (too big maybe) and computer (Numb) is missing and others are not in sync. Downloaded most recent itunes. Help please.

Purchased the first four episodes of The Killing Season 2 and am so frustrated. Tried downloading on both my computer and iPad. Think they might be too big for iPad - says it's downloaded but can't open even though GB says there is enough. Am missing episode (Numb) on my computer and the ones that I have downloade to computer are not in sync with sound. Have downloaded newest version if iTunes. Please help.

Here's how to do it.
1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts and etc.

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

I cannot update apps on ipod. Help please.

So before, i already posted a question about this and i just figured out that it is my internet conection that has the problem, not the ipod.
It seems that my internet connection or router settings has a problem connecting to my ipod or i don't know... Please help.
Usually, when there is an app update, a number pops up beside the app store icon, right?
And when you open the app store:
WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it displays all the apps that needs to be updated
WHEN THERE'S NONE - it displays, ALL APPS ARE UP TO DATE.
My problem is...
When i connect to the internet at school, it shows the updates or the all apps are up to date when i go to the app store updates tab.
recently, i leave the update counter (the one beside the app store icon) until i get home so i can be sure there are apps that needs to be updated.
When i'm home and connect to the internet. Open the app store >updates tab:
WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it keeps on loading.
WHEN THERE'S NONE - it keeps on loading.
And when there's an update counter and i connect to the app store at home, it disappears.
Please help.. i cannot update my apps on my ipod. There isn't any problem with my device. I just restored it and i started again from scratch. No pictures, music, just apps.
HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU.

Please help.. Thank you.

Download app on different machines

Can I download an app from the app store on more than one machine? Or do I have to pay for it seperately each time?

You can re download apps using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase (or free) on all your authorized Macs.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
