How to install app from computer, while retaining iCloud backup

Hi,
I have a copy of an old app (ipa file saved on my Mac) that is no longer listed on iOS App store. My primary method of syncing my device is through iCloud backup, which means I never sync it with my computer and if I sync now with Computer/iTunes then the device will get overwritten... Is there a way to install this app on my device, without having to go through iTunes?
I sent the file to my Dropbox account and tried opening from there, but that doesn't work at all.
The final solution would be that I turn off iCloud backup and use iTunes, but I don't want to have my system overwritten.
Please advise...

  • HT1766 how to transfer app from computer to iphone?

    hw to transfer app from computer to iphone?? please help me!

    Connect the iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which is Apps - if you select that tab then you should be able to select which of your apps to sync to the phone (assuming that the apps are compatible with the phone e.g. you have the relevant IOS version on it). If you have bought/downloaded apps on your phone that aren't on your computer's iTunes then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases

  • Installing Apps from Itunes to Iphone.,....

    Hi all,
    I cannot seem to find how to install Apps from itunes to my iphone. I needed a new iphone, and when i got it the songs installed and sync'd fine.
    The Apps however did not.
    You cannot drag and drop the Apps from the Itunes store to the iphone. Syning them doesn't send them across. I have updated them all within itunes to the latest versions.
    So someone please put me out of my misery and let me know how you can do it?!
    TIA

    Select your phone in the left column, under devices. Select "Applications" at the top of the main window.
    The list will appear below with a check box to select the apps you want synced. When your selections are complete, click the "Apply" button at the bottom right of the window.

  • How to uninstall apps from Creative Cloud App and reinstall it on your computer and CC App?

    Sorry, my English is not good. I have a Creative Cloud app on my computer. I used the CC applications such as Ps, Pr, Au ... of two days, but I had to do a system restore two weeks back. Now re-installed Creative Cloud on my computer. I do not have Ps, Pr, Au ... on the computer but on the App Cloud Creative sees them as installed on the computer. So I can not reinstall them because I do not give permission, it is only optional update, but I do not like, because they do not want on your computer. How to uninstall apps from Creative Cloud App and reinstall it on your computer and CC App? Please help, I have a little time.

    how to get apps from iTunes to play on my computer

    That is correct if there is a similar application made for the computer. It will not be sold through iTunes. Either you get it from the developer's website or look for it in the App Store or look for it at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads .

  • Installing apps from non-admin account

    I read an earlier post that installing apps from a non-admin account is a bad idea because SL applies the wrong permissions. I normally install from a non-admin account.... I don't see that the permissions on stuff I've installed are any different from apps that came with SL. Most everything is drwxr-xr-x. Was this fixed, or am I missing the problem.

    +"That isn't a problem at all. Applications should not require that the user have write+

    I didn't say anything about a user having write access permission, I was talking about read
    permissions. All apps installed in the /Applications directory should have group permissions
    set to admin or wheel (depending on the type of app), so the system can read them without
    problems. That's the Unix way.
    I completely disagee. The system already has read permission to all applications in the /Applications folder. It doesn't matter what the group privilege is set to. The "other" permissions are set to read only. System (root) can read it regardless. If you can show me an Apple tech article that says that apps installed in the /Applications folder should have their group privilege changed to "admin" or "wheel" then I would gladly take that back.
    +"Leopard does not put any ACLs on anything installed in the /Applications folder"+
    That's right, it doesn't normally, but if it finds an app that it does not have permission
    to read, it will assign an ACE(s) to it so that it can access it.
    I just tested that in 10.5.8, and it does not happen as you say. I can't try it in 10.6. I'd appreciate if you could provide a specific example where you can make this happen.
    Besides, all users, by default, have read only access to all applications. Unless a user specifically changes permissions on an app to deny read access to everyone, then this isn't an issue.

    I know what ACLs are and how they work. I have read through those and cannot find in any of those threads anything about what you had been talking about.
    +"That is also false. Root rights are granted by the user entering the admin username+
    +and password when prompted. It does not matter where an application is installed in+
    +order for it to be given root permission."+
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    "Application installers, Applications folder
    A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs,
    or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions
    being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or
    not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while
    logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure
    you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use
    with that account."
    That has to do with third party installer apps that developers have not written properly to conform to OS X standards. It isn't an issue with applications that install by drag-and-drop. It sounds to me like you have looked at the permissions that Apple has put on its own apps and jumped to the conclusion that third party apps won't work unless they have the exact same permissions applied to them. That simply isn't true.
    "Software access=user access
    Most applications executed by a user only have access to the files that the user has access to.
    Backup software, for example, may not back up Mac OS X system files that have root ownership."
    Utilities, especially disk utilities, are to be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder, for reasons
    stated above.
    No. That is completely wrong. Like I said earlier, an application is given root permission by user authentication. It matters not one little bit what the application's enclosing folder is. I personally have no third party apps in /Applications/Utilities; just what Apple puts there as part of a standard OS X installation.

    Have you even read those? I suggest that you do; because most of what you have written about how file/folder/application permissions in OS X is completely wrong.
