How to transfer downloaded apps to another computer?

i've downloaded some free apps on my work computer through itunes. is there anyway i, copied them onto a usb thumb drive and put them on my home computer (as i don't have access to internet at home). How can i get them to show up on itunes to sync to my iphone?
I also downloaded some apps on my iphone through the app store, but when i try to sync to my computer at home it says i need to authorize the computer. how can i do this?

Your home computer will have to be authorized with your iTunes/Apple account. Then take those files from the USB drive and transfer them to your HDD. Locate your iTunes folder, in that locate the mobile apps folder. Put the files in that folder. Now open up itunes, if it is authorized the apps will be there.
To authorize the computer you will need an internet connection to verify your account/password in itunes.

You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

How do I transfer my app to another computer?

I bought Live Interior 3D form the apps store into my iMac, and would like to transfer it to my iMac. How do I do that?

Hi ..
It's not necessary to "transfer" apps.
You can re download apps you have purchased from the App Store on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID for free.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

How to transfer an app to another iPad via a PC?

Hi, iPad gurus!
I've been asked for help by an acquaintance of mine. iPads are unfamiliar to me. I'm not even friends with sync of iPhone apps installed on my MacBook Pro.
Actually, I've got two questions.
Question 1:
Is it possible to download iPad apps with the help of a non-Apple computer (Sony Vaio)?
I mean, to be able to enter the store for iPad applications, then to send the app to an iPad somehow.
The reason why I want to use a non Mac gadget is that I think that it's more convenient to work with apps or with any data at anything larger than iPads, while at home. Moreover, imho, the device should be the largest available in the house. The acquaintance has a MacBook Air. But he's also got an access to a large Sony monitor with a full size large keyboard.
Question 2.
Now, there are two iPads (I'll give them the names: iPad #1 and iPad #2). The task is to install on one iPad (iPad #2) all the same apps that have already been installed on another iPad. I mean to synchronize, cutting the full path which has been passed by iPad #1 (that is, without the process of looking up for each separate app somewhere in the Internet or iTunes). When I was asked for help, I was unable to offer anything except to manually install on iPad #2 the same app, that had been on iPad #1. And you know, what I can't explain was that while I was busy installing Viber, another freshly installed app from iPad #1 appeared on iPad #2 without my efforts (Russian Yandex Navigator).
So, how do I arrange the sync?

Do both iPads use the same Apple ID?

How to transfer te license on another computer (CS5)

Hi everyone, i'm truly sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask, but I thought it was the right one!
I need to transfer the license of the whole CS5 Design standard on another computer, since the old one it's gonna be sold and formatted.
I didn't find the proper way to do it, so here i am asking.
Thank you for your help.
Linda

Hi Windycina,
I believe you still have the access to the serial number. If you do, Please use the following download link to download Adobe Design Standard CS5 (If you dont have the media with you) and use the serial number to complete the installation.
Other downloads
For the deactivation from the previous machine, please launch any one of the products ( say Photoshop ), navigate to help > Deactivate.
Cheers,

How to transfer an app from one computer to another?

I have 2 macs. I sync my iPhone on one, my son syncs his iPhone with the other. We use the same Apple ID for both. Problem is I have an old app, Tris one one computer, and Apple removed it from the app store, so I can't download it to my sons iPhone.
Is there a way to move an app over to his?
Thanks

You could try copy it into his iTunes app folder using a flash drive. Click on the Apps folder in iTunes on your iMac under Library on the left sidebar, control-click on the app icon you want and choose Show in Finder. Copy the .ipa file to a flash drive and note the location (path); copy it to the same location on your son's computer, open iTunes and see if it appears in his iTunes library. If so, authorize his computer for the Apple ID used to purchase it under Store>Authorize this computer (or it won't sync to his phone).
Or you could enable Home Sharing in iTunes, allowing you to access your library from the other computer (on the left sidebar under Shared) and share the app across your network (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

You simply install them via Creative Cloud like on the first computer after possibly signing out on the old one, if you no longer plan on using it...

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.
