How do I copy an App from my wife's phone to mine

My wife has a free App from a 3rd party authorised provider that I would find very useful. Its a gateway to a government work related suite of password secured websites. She can't remember where it came from and no amount of searching can find it. Another collugue has it on his iPad but can't find it to put on his phone.
I've tried looking on her iTunes but it doesn't appear in her apps or iTunes .ipa files. Non-apple files may be stored somewhere else but I can't find them.
We have seperate laptops with our own iTunes on each. If its possible we could cpy direct from phone to phone or via one of the laptops or eamil/stick from laptop tolaptop whatever.
eHow has answered the question http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_4864095_transfer-iphone-apps-another-iphone.html except that the author has got completly muddled in describing the computers and phones involved that her instructions are incoherent if you don't know what you are doing - try and work out what she means by 'target' phone.
Any advice gratefully accepted.

With your phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

How do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID

how do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID ?

Do you mean
" Macbook with different Apple ID " ?
If you bought Aperture on your iMac from the App Store using a different AppleID, sign into the Apple Store on your MacBook with exactly that Apple ID. (Use the "Store" menu. First sign out and then sign in with the other ID)
Then reload the "Purchased" page. You should see now Aperture ready for download. Install it.
Then sign out of the store and back in with your regular AppleID on that Mac. If you are notified of updates, you will have to switch between AppleIDs again to install the update.

I updated to ios7 on my iphone 4 and now cant install apps and one app says waiting for 2 days now. Also it started ading apps from my wife's phone onto my phone even though we have separate apple ids.

We do not share an apple ID and her phone is now logged in with her account and I have since backed it up on itunes under her account as well. I have turned off automatic downloads on her phone but they still keep downloading. I delete one app and then another one just appears on the phone.

How do I copy an app from my iPhone to my desktop iTunes?

iTunes tells me there's an update for my iPhone. I click on update. It tell me that there are apps on my iPhone that are not on my computer, and that I should copy them to the computer before updating. I sync the iPhone, and then get the same message when I start the update.

With your iPod connected ...

Check the Sync Music box
Pick the Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres option
Select the playlist(s) you want to add to your iPod
Then click Apply.

How do I copy a book from my wife's iPad to my iPhone?

I purchased a book using my wife's iPad and would like to move a copy to my iPhone. How does one do that?

If her iPod is set up to sync automatically with iTunes, then simply configure the iPod so that the track is removed from the Shuffle during the next sync operation. For example, if the iPod is configured to only sync selected tracks, then make sure the track you wish to remove doesn't have a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library.
If you manually manage the iPod's contents, you must manually move the song from the iPod via iTunes. Plug the Shuffle in, and then click on the small black triangle next to it's device name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to open up a submenu. From there click music. Locate the track you wish to delete. Highlight it and hit Delete or choose Edit -> Delete.

How do i get my apps from icloud to my phone after a restore?

I did a restore on my iphone and pictures and contacts came back, but I lost all my apps and have to redownload them. Is there any way to just get them from the backup onto my phone instead of downloading one by one again? thx

An iTunes backup, which you performed, doesn't include the apps.
For finding your apps again, I recommend this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

Transfer purchased apps from my wife's account to mine

Recently, my wife and I decided that we would sell her iPad to one of our kids. I have an iPad2 and would like to know if I can transfer her apps (purchased under her own ID) to my iPad.

If you log into the App Store on your iPad using her account, you should be able to download her purchased apps directly.

HT1766 We have 2 iPads. I want to copy purchased apps from one to the other. Proper? How?

I want to copy purchase apps from one iPad to another. Possible?

No sweat. Sync both to the same computer's iTunes. You'll have to configure the sync characteristics separately. The iTunes keeps track of which is which by S/N. You might wish to rename one or both so that you can keep track.

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III. I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad. We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC. How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
