Downloading Iphone Apps On Mothers Computer

I dont have internet on my computer so i downloaded itunes on my mothers computer and logged into my account and then downloaded the apps i wanted
now how do i get them onto my iphone without losing all my apps?
Am i right in thinking that i cant use these apps because i dont have internet on my computer even though i legitimately bought these apps using my account on my mothers computer? :-s
Surely there is a way to add these apps to my current apps on my iphone or somehow transfering them (even though this is rediculous) to my computer to be synced to my iphone?
Any ideas?

If you are using your mother's computer to sync your phone, you will have no problems adding the new apps to your phone.

I downloaded an app to a computer that is synced to my iphone. So I copied the app to my ipad synced computer, but it does not recognized the app. How can I get the app onto my ipad library?

The Mac App Store allows you to install a purchased app on any computer if you sign into the same AppleID in the app store. You will not need to purchase again. In fact, all you need to do is sign into your account on the 2nd and subsequent computer and then click on the Purchased icon at the top and you'll see a complete list of apps you've purchased. If an app is not installed on the current computer, the button on the right will become an Install button.

HT201272 I have just downloaded an app to my computer through itunes. It shows up as downloaded to my ipad, which I don't have. I want it on my computer. I follow all the instructions and always come to a deadend. Help! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store 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.
Why do you want it on your computer, apps won't run on a computer.

My iPhone 5 won't let me download certain apps. They show up on itunes but not on my phone, if I download the app from my computer it loads on my phone then immediately disappears. The 'FREE' button is white in the app store for certain apps. PLEASE HELP!

I'm so frustrated and in desperate need of help, I don't know what else to do! Certain apps such as Tumblr (I've previously had the Tumblr app on my phone) and Vine will NOT dowload on my phone. I've tried deleting all apps from both my iPhone and iTunes, I've tried restoring my phone then backing it up, I've tried downloading the app from iTunes while my phone is plugged into my computer, etc. When I search the apps in the app store they show up but the 'FREE' button is white and unclickable, it's very frustrating. When I download it from iTunes while my phone is plugged in I can watch it download, but when it's done it immediately dissapears from the screen and from my phone. When I plug my phone into iTunes it say I have the Tumblr and Vine apps, but I assure you, I do not. I have deleted and tried to add them so many times but it never works. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

HT201272 I previously downloaded iphone apps and stored them on my phone and computer. Now I want to download them to my ipad but my iphone bit the dust. how can I get previously purchased apps to my new ipad.?

I purchased an application that offered all kinds of books, imbedded within, at no cost...now on IPAD all like books, study guides, are imbedded for purchase. I dont see why I have to pay for the application twice...It was Olive Bible : offering on my phone at least 5-10 different translation, plus 20+ books by the old Church preachers dating back to the reformation forward. Please advise how to access my iphone apps...already paid for...to install on my ipad.

If they are still in the store and you are signed in with the same account (and they are compatible with iPads) then you should be able to download them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app - you may need to tap the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of that screen and select 'iPhone Apps' instead.
Or if you have on your computer's iTunes you can connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync them to your iPad.

Error while downloading iPhone app updates

Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
Did you find a solution yet?
I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

Ipad won't automatically download iphone apps

I have an iphone and an ipad. Both sync with the same computer (an Imac). I usually use my iphone to download apps while the ipad is powered off. I want tthe iphone apps to automatically download to the ipad when the ipad is connected to my home wifi network (Apple Extreme)
I have many iphone apps in itunes (on the computer) that will not sync or download automatically using the wifi.
The apps are stored on the icloud, but they won't download automatically to the ipad either.
I see the apps in the "Purchased" section of the Itune Store app. They are "Iphone apps not on my ipad". I have to select them one by one which is a pain.
The ipad will not sync the same apps to the ipad when it is synced to my home computer.
Is there a way to download or sync all those iphone apps automatically?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

You can turn on automatic downloads 'on' on the iPad in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6). And/or when connected to your computer with the iPad selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Apps tab under the list of apps there should be a tickbox for automatically syncing new apps - if that is ticked then each time you connect the iPad to your computer it should install any new apps that are on your computer.

Cannot download iPhone apps. HELP!

Says, "unable to purchase, please try again later"
Will not let me download ANY apps. I don't know what the problem is....can somebody help?

I have seen that message, but then see it download and install anyhow. Just saw it once though.
Not much you can really do on your end execept maybe reboot if you want to try that.
Anytime anything doesn't work right, acts buggy, lags, crashes, or if you feel just doesn't seem right, reboot the phone.
I reboot every morning when I undock phone to leave. The OS is very new and will continue to have bugs (just think of Windows 95 and how the running joke was how long can you go before you have to reboot).
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

Syncing iPhone Apps with New Computer- avoid erasing old apps?

My old laptop was recently stolen, and I just replaced it. However, when syncing my iPhone to the new computer, all music was lost. No problem, I had a backup on my iPod/external drive, hurrah.
However, I did not backup the .ipx files for the applications. Do I need to redownload all the apps, or is there a way to sync it to the new computer without nuking all the old apps (and the stored data/settings)? Thank you!

The apps will be 'nuked' - at least, you can redownload them for free.

Next time, back up your whole library, better yet, your whole HDD!

I am not able to upgrade, on my Mac, to Mountain Lion. There is no option in the itunes library for me to download ANY apps onto my computer, only to iphone, ipod, itouch etc. Please help. Thank you

Thank you

You don't use the iTunes Store for your computer. You use the App Store. But to do so you must upgrade your computer to 10.6.8 provided you have an Intel model.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
             Identifier 5,1 or later.
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.

You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor

Can't Download iPhone Apps - Network Connection Times Out?

Having problem downloading apps from iTunes for my iPhone 3GS via my desktop computer running Windows XP on a network with a Windows Server 2003 and a T-1 Internet connction. The apps appear as "available for download" on he iTunes page. The connection starts but nothing downloads. Error message says "network connection timed out." I checked password and is fine. I checked with IT guy who confirmed we have no firewall issue. He thought probles was with ISP but ISP says there no proxy or any blocking. When I try downloading directly to iPhone via WiFi in same network, (via Linksys 54G router) I also have the same problem. Yet, if I turn off the WiFi, the apps download fine to the phone. (I also cannot stream YouTube videos or Pandora music to the iPhone via the WiFi though those do appear to work on the desktop). Any ideas?

Thanks Diesel. But as I wrote above that is what I suspected. So I had my IT guy come in to double check and he confirmed that the firewall was off and that we do not use a proxy. I also ran the diagnostic from iTunes Help and re connectivity it reported firewall off and no proxy. I connect fine to the iTune Store and to the update server, etc. only timeout when downloading purchases from store. My IT guy thought problem was with our ISP. But I opened trouble ticket with them and they reported back that they are not blocking a d ran traceroute from their server at NOC to iTunes with no problem. They suggested was a password issue with iTunes but I double-checked and confirmed that is not the problem...

Downloading iPad apps into Mac computer?

I downloaded some free and not free apps into my iPad. I have since sold my iPad. I still have 13 apps listed in my iTunes library. Is there a way to download these into my computer? I do not have an iPhone or any other portable device except AppleTV 2.
Thanks,
Mike

If you mean can you open them on a computer then the answer is no, iOS apps will only work on iOS devices. You can however store iOS apps in iTunes so that if you buy an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch in the future you will be able to sync them to your device again.
All apps, whether paid or free, can be downloaded again free of charge whenever you wish.
