How do I move my purchased apps from my mac to my iPhone?

I just recently bought an iphone and i want to bring my apps from my mac and get them on my iphone also. but its saying i have to buy it again when i go on the app store on my phone.

If these are Apps that you purchased via the Mac App Store for use on the Mac, they will not be compatible with the iPhone.

  • How can i move my purchased app from apple id in russia to ukrainean app store when i change country

    I had my apple id in Russia and had a lot of purchased apps there. Recently i had to change a country of my apple id to Ukraine. So i have a question how can i move my purchased apps to apple id in Ukraine?

    You have been mislead. Other users report that what you have been told by the Hack is not true. The apps will appear to have disappeared, but if you try to update an app at first the MAS will appear to be selling you the app, but if you continue, as if to buy the app, the MAS will realize that you previously purchased the app and download it for free. You can test this for yourself using a free or inexpensive app.

  • HT1977 how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account?

    how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account? It bothers me a lot when I try to syn my device to a new computer and all the apps i've ever purchased get downloaded to a new computer even the ones I never use anymore.

    Sorry, but you can't permanently delete an app. You can hide them:

    but the app will still sync to your computer if the app is present on the iPad. If the apps are downloading directly to your computer and hiding doesn't do the job, you'll need to turn off automatic downloading.
    Regards.

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

  • HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

  • TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

    How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

    I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
    It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
    I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
    I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

  • HT201317 How do I move a photo album from my Mac to my iPad?

    How do I move a photo album from my Mac to my iPad?

    I understand that when you use this method it will wipe out all the existing albums you may have created on the iPad from photos taken there. I'm afraid to try it and I can not get any albums transferred using iTunes to my iPhone.My problem  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4492272
    I've been able move the photos to the iCloud photo stream in iPhoto, open the iPad photos app (after waiting for them to appear), click edit, then save them to an album on the iPad. I'm having at lot of problems (11/10/2012) syncing since iCloud has entered the picture.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

  • How can I transfer a purchased app from my laptop to my Mac Pro?

    Okay, here's the problem: I always sync and backup my iPhone on my Mac Pro. However, I recently bought an app from iTunes on my laptop. Both my Mac Pro and my laptop are authorized for my account. However, when I plug my iPhone 4 into my laptop to add the app I purchased (in the usual way, by clicking on the App tab and dragging the newly purchased app into my iPhone home window), iTunes asks me if I really want to delete all of my other purchased apps (forty-something of them). Of course, I DON'T want to do that, but I can't figure out a way to transfer the purchased app from iTunes on my laptop to iTunes on my Mac Pro (where all my other apps live). I called Applecare, and they suggested that I copy all of the folders from my Mac Pro/Users/Me/Home/Library/iTunes/ folder to the matching folder on my laptop, which I did, but to no avail. Do I have to buy the app all over again (on my Mac Pro or directly on my iPhone)????
    It just occurred to me that I might be able to back up my iPhone on my laptop in addition to my Mac Pro, after which I might be able to add the recently purchased app without a problem. But if the answer is so simple, why didn't the applecare person suggest this? Has anyone else run into this conundrum?

    If you bought an app, if you try to buy it again it will just download the app again. You do not get double billed for the app. So you could down load the app again on your iphone or on your desktop. Alternatively you could use Home Sharing to sync purchased apps, movies, music between the computers. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 explains how to enable/use home sharing.
    I hope that helps

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?

    When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
    Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps? 
    I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
    I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

  • How do I transfer my purchased apps from my old ipad to my new ipad?  All with the same Apple ID and Itunes account.

    I just purchased a new Ipad with 4G yesterday and I am trying to transfer my purchased apps from my old Ipad to the new one.  We have one Apple ID and one Itunes account that we are using. 

    Connect the old iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and then sync the iPad. A backup will be created when you sync the iPad and your purchased apps should transfer into your iTunes library on the computer. Just to be safe - manually transfer the purchases as well.
    After the sync completes - right click on the iPad name on the left side under "Devices" and select - Transfer Purchases. Let the process complete - and just because I am OCD - I would sync one last time. Eject the iPad and quit iTunes.
    Then connect your new iPad to the computer and launch iTunes again. You will be given the opportunity to set up as new or to restore from the backup of the old iPad. Choose backup from the iPad - let the process complete - and then follow that with a sync with iTunes to put all of the content that was on the old iPad onto the new one.

  • How do I delete a purchased app from iPhone 6 iOS 8?

    In trying desperately to sync Microsoft Office Outlook contacts for iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1 with my PC, I noted on the sync page that I needed to download Microsoft Outlook on my phone. I did so, installed it, only to learn that it does not work for "msn email accounts".
    So, now how do I delete this useless app from my iPhone 6?

    Read this: iPhone User Guide - Support - Apple
    Page 116.  Or search for 'delete an app' in that document.
