How to add apps (free or paid apps) to my iTunes account (via iTunes on PC) for later download on iPad?
How to add apps (free or paid apps) to my iTunes account (via iTunes on PC) for later download on iPad?
In App Store, some apps may go on sale (become reduced in price or completely free), and these offers are usually available for limited time. I may want some of these apps but can’t download & install them immediately on my iPad for certain reasons (e.g. lacking strong Wi-Fi coverage or lacking free space on iPad or iPad is out of my reach).
How to purchase these apps from my PC via iTunes, to be added to my account and become available for me to download on iPad later?
Deleting from your computer is not necessary and I would not advise it since again it's wise to have a backup. But otherwise, yes, once you make a purchase from any source, the app should in the future be available for downloading from the Purchased area in the iTunes Store app on your iPad. This presumes of course that the developer of the app has not removed it.
One note:
delete the downloaded app file and this will remove it from my PC (and automatically become removed from my iTunes library)
This is the reverse of the correct procedure. If you really insist on removing the app from your computer, delete it from within iTunes. iTunes will ask if you also want to move the app file to the trash. Deleting the app file manually will not automatically remove it from your iTunes library.
Regards.

Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!! Please help!!
Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.

If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

Try downloading any NEW free or paid app from the App Store. This will refresh the system and hopefully your other apps will work, too.

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.
Call 1-800-275-2273...ask to talk to "Customer Relations"...no one else.
Good luck. -

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Transfer apps from my iTunes account to iTunes account of different person
Hi,
I will sell my iPhone 4 with my apps to another person.
How can I transfer my apps to his iTunes account as I will not have a new iPhone and do not have use of my apps anymore ?
Is that possible and how can I do that ?
Regards,
JerryiTunes content downloaded with more than one iTunes account can be in the same iTunes library, which requires constantly logging in and out of each iTunes account with iTunes as needed. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer.
What you can't do is transfer iTunes content that includes DRM protection from one iTunes account to another iTunes account. All 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the apps. You can't switch the DRM with 3rd party apps downloaded with one iTunes account to another iTunes account, or combine the DRM with apps downloaded with more than one iTunes account. The same applies to any other iTunes content that includes DRM protection. All music purchased from the iTunes store used to include DRM protection but no longer, but all movies and tv shows purchased from the iTunes store continues to include DRM protection as with 3rd party apps which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the content. -

How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program? To explain further... I have a young son who is on my iCloud family sharing program... I am excited to be able to share SOME of my music in my iTunes library, but there are some songs and music videos that are not age appropriate for him and currently there is no way to restrict him from viewing and downloading anything off of my iTunes library. Yes, I suppose I can delete the songs he shouldn't have access to, but I don't think I should have to do that... I paid for them and still like them and listen to them while I work out or am without my kids. Is there a way for me to personally select which songs/videos I would like to "hide" from my children in an effort to shield them from inappropriate content?
Hello ggg39,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have some content in your iTunes library that you would like to restrict access for the child set up on Family Sharing with you. To do this, you can set restrictions on the child’s device as described in the attached article.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Now kids under 13 can have their own Apple IDs. As a parent or legal guardian, the family organizer can create an Apple ID for a child and add the child to the family group automatically. Ask to Buy is turned on by default, and the organizer can also limit the content kids have access to on their devices through Restrictions on an iOS device or parental controls in OS X and iTunes.
For more information on restrictions and how to set them up, please reference the next attached article.
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?
I want to be able to transfer my apps from my original itunes account that I have on my personal iphone 3 and work ipad 3 to my work iphone 4S ,as well as purchase more more apps for the work iphone with the original itunes account. Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)? It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password. When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct. Puzzled!
I have another question for the community. My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her. I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address? Thanks -
