How can I share purchased apps between different apple IDs?

Hi,
I bought a Mac recently and created a new Apple ID.
The Home Sharing for my Mac is 'on'. I want to copy my purchased apps from my Home Sharing account to my Mac. However, I'm struggling to do that.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks

A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

  • Can you share purchased apps between a Pre and a Pre 2?

    I own a Pre (Bell Mobility) and just got the Pre 2 (Rogers).  I probably intend on keeping both.
    Question: can the apps that I purchased through the App Store for the Pre (using the Pre's profile and email address which are obviously different than the one on the Pre 2) be installed on the Pre 2 without having to purchase them again?
    Thank you.

    Hello bwc565 and welcome to the Palm forums.
    My understanding of how the Palm App Catalog works is that purchases are tied to your Palm Profile, which is tied to an email address.  It *might* work if you were using the same device and moving a single SIM card between the devices.
    However, since you are using two different phone models, and have two separate Palm profiles, I don't think you will be able to move apps from your Pre to your Pre 2 without having to repurchase them.

  • 2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share

    2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests.  How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

    We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners.  How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time?  Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords?  Hepl!

    Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
    I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
    However, here is the Apple iCloud support website that is loaded with all sorts of information and links to even more information. This will get you started anyway ....

  • How can i share purchases I made on my itouch with my other touch?

    How can I share purchases I made on my itpuch with my other itouch?

    Just sync them to the other iPod.  The iPod has to be signed into the iTunes account that purchased them.  You can also redownload them.  See:
    If in USA:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If not in USA, just make sure you are signed into the iTunes account that originally purchased them and repurchase them.

    You should check with the software publisher. Although you will need a separate iPad version of the program, some publishers make the iPad version cheap or even free, knowing that you have to buy the Mac or PC version to get the most out of the iPad version.

  • My husband and I each have and ipad2, can we share purchased apps, or do we have to purchase them separately

    my husband and I each have and ipad2, can we share purchased apps, or do we have to purchase them separately

    If you use the same iTunes account then you can put the same apps on both devices. If you have your own separate accounts then as long as both accounts are authorised on the computer that you sync from then again you can put the same apps on both devices.

  • How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?

    Hi all,
    We just got a second iPad.  Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID.  My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad.  Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID.  I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work.  Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks.
    NM

    You can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.

    this is Not possible... Anything obtained on a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Transfered to a different Apple ID.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
