How do I transfer an app from my iMac to my ipad

I have an app on my iMac that I wish to share with my ipad2, how can I do this.

I am having a similar problem. laptop crashed and we needed a new harddrive. Reinstalled itunes, downloaded "purchased apps" in itunes, then found I needed to "transfer purchases" and have done so and then backed up ipad in itunes. 
However, I still have apps that I purchased that wouldn't download in ipad and said would be available on computer in itunes.  I see them there, but all app boxes are greyed out and I cannot select those boxes.  If I somehow got it un-greyed, where I could check those boxes and uncheck the others, it wouldn't just add those, right - it'd delete the others?
Also, if I hit "sync apps" then it says it will erase ipad and apply the library, so I'll lose all info in apps.  In theory, I could (I'm guessing - tell me if I'm wrong and can't do this) tell it to go to the "back up" and sync, right?  But, It literally took 24 hours to "back up ipad", and I dont' want to have another whole day to restore to back up.  And, oh yeah, those apps aren't on the back up copy, so I'd not get anywhere but frustrated.
How can I get these apps on without losing my data?

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    If you plug in your ipod and/or iphone to your new machine, they should show up in the left column in itunes.
    You can ctrl-click on the device there and choose "transfer purchases".  It should then copy the apps and other purchases from your device onto the new machine.

    how do i transfer my apps from an old iphone to a new one

    If you need to keep the app data, i would suggest making an icloud backup, then restoring from that backup onto the new phone
    if you don't need to app data, you can transfer the purchases to itunes on a computer and sync them to your new phone, or you can just go on your new phone to app store > updates > purchased > then click the clouds next to each app to download them to the phone

  • HT1414 how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    Which apps? The iPhone apps you have selected/purchased on the iPhone App Store thru iTunes?
    Or the apps installed on the Mac?
    For the first case, simply connect the phone, start up iTunes if it doesn't do so on its own accord, click on your phone's entry on the list in the left column, select the Summary tab to make sure all is well, then click on the Sync button on the bottom edge of the screen. If you want, you can click on the Apps tab and arrange your applications how you like them prior to the sync, too.
    If the second case, no can do. iPhone apps run on iPhones, Mac apps run on Macs.

    How can I transfer an app from my computer to my iphone? I think I downloaded incorrectly and now the app won't let me download again. I find the app on my computer but I don't know how to transfer it - or if I even can.

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

  • How to I transfer my apps from my iPhone to my new computer (iTunes 11)

    Hi all,
    I just bought a new computer and I installed the latest version of iTunes on it (iTunes 11). But now I don't know how I can transfer my apps from my iTunes into my new iTunes library. I don't want to download them all again in the iTunes Store while they are installed on my iPhone!
    Any solutions would be great!

    Connect the device to your PC and launch iTunes. Press Ctrl+S to show the Sidebar. Find your device name in the Sidebar and right-click then select Transfer Purchases.

    If they don't digital-rights-management on them (if they do then check the site that you got them from for which apps you can use for them on your iPad) then you can add them to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Add To Library menu option - if using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then add them to its iBooks app via File > Add To Library.
    Then connect your iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and use the Books tab to select and sync the epubs to your iPad's iBooks app
