How do I selectively sync apps to new iPad?

I just got my first iPad, so I'm a complete newbie with it.  I've downloaded a boatload of apps into iTunes (most free), but want to sync them to the iPad just a few at a time.  There are some I definitely want to keep, but I'm sure there are others I'll want to trash.  In any event, I want to try out just a few at a time.  So how can I select those I want on the iPad without loading them all onto it at once?  Drag-and-drop?
Thanks in advance.

Connect your iPad with your Mac or Pc.
Yoe should find your iPad on the left row under devices.
Click on it.
Now click on the Apps button you find top of the right screen.
All your downloaded and installed apps should appear in a list.
Now you can select or deselect them.
Hit the sync button you find down right and iTunes will install them on your iPad.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • The option to sync apps is no longer available in iTunes, though it used to be. Can anyone tell me how to access the sync apps button please?

    Can anyone tell me how to access the sync apps button please? I used to be able to select it but it is no longer visible.

    You have to connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes Sidebar.
    If you don't see the Sidebar, toggle it on in iTunes menu View > Show Sidebar.
    Take a look at this screenshot on updating apps.

  • How NOT to cross-sync apps between devices?

    Hey gang-
    I backup all my iOS devices to iTunes on my desktop iMac.    I like everything about that except the fact that if I update an app, for example, on my iPad, iTunes then updates that app on my iPhone on the next Sync.    For lots of reason, I don't want to do that- for example some updates I like on iPhone and not on iPad, or vice versa.
    Sooooo, I'm looking in iTunes and trying to figure out which setting will prevent this happening.  I'm looking at the Apps tab with my iPad connected, and I'm trying to figure out do I uncheck the very top choice "Sync Apps", or the one at the bottom of the list "Automatically Sync New Apps"    And what is the difference?   I get a rather scary Alert when I turn off "Sync Apps" that makes me think iTunes might not Backup my apps if I do that.
    Thanks gang!
    Dave

    Open itunes, connect a device, go to the apps tab, select only the apps you want on that device, select sync app or they will all be erased.  If you do not want every new app that you download to be added to your device, tehn deselect that option.
    Each device will only sync what you select

  • How to I get my apps off iphone/ipad and into itunes without syncing?

    I had my computer crash and recently restored it. I transferred my music back in via a hard drive and now that I am about to resync my phone, I either have to erase the phone with what is in iTunes, or erase what is in itunes with the phone. I have different info in both, so can I pull my contact info and apps off the phone into itunes so when itunes erases the phone, everything is back on?
    Or, do I have to erase itunes with phone info and then just reload music from hard drive?
    During the crash, I bought an ipad and synced it to a different computer so will need to sync it to this one instead and I have a few apps/podcasts/movies on it as well so don’t want to erase them and may have to do the same thing.
    Thanks!

    All apps on your iPhone and iPad should be in your iTunes library on your computer, which should be included with your computer's backup per the instructions included with this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    With Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for each device's sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with either device, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync the device with iTunes after doing so.
    If the apps on each device are different, with your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Repeat this for your iPad - Transfer Purchaes From - the name of your iPad.
    Then you will need to select Sync Apps under the Apps tab making sure all apps on the connected device are selected below. This will not prevent the device from being erased of all iTunes content with the first sync.
    If all apps on either device were in your iTunes library and your iTunes library was backed up per the instructions included with the link provided and restored from said backup, no iTunes content on either device would be erased with the first sync with iTunes.

  • How to load a Numbers folder on my iMac to iCloud so it can sync with my new iPad

    How to load a Numbers folder on my iMac (os x Yosemite v 10.10.2) to iCloud so it can sync with my new iPad (8.2)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have Numbers installed on your iPad, first go to System Preferences -> iCloud, and make sure that iCloud Drive is enabled.
    If so, open a Finder window and choose iCloud Drive in the left sidebar, so you will see a Numbers folder. Just open it and put your Numbers documents there, so they will be synced between your iMac and your iPad (providing that you already have Numbers on your Mac).

  • I have an 8500a how, once I select the apps I want and add to the printer. How do i get them to wor

    I have an 8500a how, once I select the apps I want and add to the printer.  How do i get them to work? And is it always this slow....

    Hey jmknights!
    While I can't speak to how quickly the apps will work, I may be able to help you with how they work. Once you have the apps added to the printer you would select the app you want to print from on the printer's front panel. Once inside the app, select what you want to print and if all goes as it should, the printer should begin printing the requested information within a few seconds.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to get an app on new iPad after the app has been pulled from app store?

    I have the vlc player app on my iPad 2 and want to put it on my ipad3. Since it has since been pulled from the store, how do I get it on my new iPad? I is no other app that I have found that can replace it.

    I did that before I bought the new iPad and was able to transfer all my other apps, somehow the app never made it to my current iPad. I'll try again and let you guys know once I get home to my laptop.

  • How do I delete synced photos from my IPad 2? My computer is no longer holding a charge and I would like to delete photos I synced without my computer

    I hope that it is not true that I cannot delete photos thaI synced to my iPad. I cannot use my computer because it is not charging. How do I remove synced photos from my iPad without the use of my ITunes?

    This is a problem. Normally you do need to connect to the computer you've synced ith previously to delete albums that were copied from that computer.
    In the case where the old computer fails, crashes or is sold or discarded, you need to get all of your stuff off the iPad and onto a new computer. Visit Apple support to learn how to do this. Once you establish a new tunes library on a different computer you can sync and delete the photo albums you no longer want.
    Another option is to restore your iPad to its original state. That will delete everything including photos, non default apps, music, videos, etc.
    Once reset and erased you can download all purchased apps again.
