Getting apps from my iPad to my iMac???

I have an ipad 2, that was synced to my mac book pro, which I sent to my son out of state. I have an imac that has all of my itunes and is my master comupter. I have not synced my ipad to my imac. When I look at my apps on itunes, i dont see all of the apps I installed on my ipad. Im worried to erase and sync (although I want to) in fear of not being able to recover my apps that are on my ipad? Any sugguestions?

ONLY if that particular app is universal.
Most apps are not for use on ipad and iphone.  You would have to buy the version for each.

    how do i download apps from my ipad to my imac

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    They should be downloaded when you sync your iPad with iTunes on the iMac.
    If not, connect the iPad and iTunes will open on the iMac. Then, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, and your downloaded apps will be downloaded to the iTunes library on the iMac

  • Can I transfer pages app from my ipad to my imac or do i need to buy the program again

    I am looking at buying an Imac and i was wondering if the two programs installed on my Ipad (pages and keynote) would be able to transfer from the ipad to the imac or would i need to purchase them again?

    if you do buy it then you can use icloud to share docs between the ios and osx versions
    but often it will make a copy as the formats are not 100% compatible which is odd

  • How do i get my apps from my ipad onto my imac? i am logging into itunes but cannot get apps

    plse help

    You do realize that the apps for the iPad cannot be used on the Mac, right? They are two different operating systems. iOS apps for iOS devices and Mac Apps for Macs.
    You can only store iOS apps in the iTunes libraries on a Mac.

  • How do I get apps from my iPad to my new I phone 5?How

    How do I get my same apps from iPad to my new iPhone 5?

    You can sync the iPad to itunes, then sync the phone and check the apps you want on the phone. Or, if using the same apple id on both devices, just redownload them onto the phone.

  • Trouble backing up ipad - getting apps from other ipad

    I am backing up my ipad and my daughter's ipad (no family sharing set up when this happened) and she has her own apple id. Both ipads backed up to the same itunes account.
    I back up her ipad and it automatically downloads apps from the itunes which are on my ipad. How do I stop this happening. Drives me nuts as I then have to manually delete these apps and she has to re-organise everything.
    The same thing happens on my ipad.
    What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Rachel

    Well, once you have selected the device that you have hooked up, and then selected the Apps option, you will see all of the apps that are currently on the device on little displays of your Home Screens as well as a list of all Apps in the Library. Next to those Apps you will see one of two settings to start with:
    Install: This indicates an App that is in the Library but not on the device. You can click on this to cause the app to install on the device when you do the sync. When you click it, it will change to "Will Install" until you do the sync. After the sync, it will then show as "Remove" (see below)
    Remove: This indicates an App that is currently on the device. You can click on this to cause the app to be removed when you do the sync. When you click it, it will change to "Will Remove" until you do the sync. After the sync, it will then show as "Install" (see above)
    They are basically toggle switches:

  • Getting apps onto new iPad

    How do I get apps from an iPad I sold to someone else onto a new iPad that I purchased?
    Thank you

    Sync them from iTunes, if you were syncing with iTunes. If you weren't, download them again in the purchased tab of the App Store. You will not have to pay for them again if you use the same Apple ID.

    you should have been backing up as well and you could restore from a backup in order to get all of your app data and device settings back.

  • I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad and getting the phoos o my IMac. ou see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac.

    I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad which will be replaced with the photos on my IMac.You see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

    The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
    To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
    If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

  • How do i get pages from my iPad to show up on my iMac?

    how do i get pages from my iPad to show up on my iMac?

    You will need to use AirPlay to see that.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    How do I get apps from my MacBook pro to my ipad

    If they apps were bought on iTunes on your Mac then you can connect the iPad to your Mac, select the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and use the Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync them to the iPad - or you can re-download them directly on the iPad via the App Store app.
    If you bought the apps in the Mac App Store then you can't sync them to the iPad as Mac apps are not compatible with the iPad

    How do I get my apps from my ipad to macbook pro

    You use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes. This will only put the applications into the computer's iTunes library for storage or transport; running them on your computer requires the Mac OS X version, which is a separate product, and if the developer chooses, a separate purchase.

    how do I get apps from imac to air. Just purchased an air

    There are several ways to do it. The 'cleanest' way is to install them fresh on your Air. Anything you purchased from the Mac App store, you can install on your Air by logging into the App store with the same Apple ID.

  • Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

    The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
    Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
    If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
