HT201272 Transferring APP from pc to iPhone 5

I purchased an APP on my pc, however it does not appear on phone, even after syncing. How do i transfer it?

If it's compatible with your phone (i.e. it's not an iPad-only app) then you should be able to sync it by connecting the phone to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then using the Apps tab on the right-hand side to install that app. The app should appear in the listbox of apps on that tab, does it have an 'install' button against it ? If it has 'remove' then that implies that is somewhere on your phone, in which case double-clicking it on that listbox should show where it is via the screen mock-ups on that tab (if you can't find it on you actual phone where that shows it is then is it hidden by a app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?)
Or you can re-download it directly on the phone via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it.

  • Transfering App from Comp to iphone

    I have download an app onto my laptop for my iphone, but I cant figure out
    how to move it over to my phone!
    I know it should be easy, but Ive been trying to figure it out all morning!

    PS the app should definately run on my iphone

    Restrictions on your phone should be OFF. Installing Apps On, but all of these will be greyed out if restrictions are off.
    So, you've tried de-authorizing/authorizing your computer, no change. Accounts on your phone & itunes match, correct? Apps all purchased using the same account, correct? If so, do this:
    1. Open Computer from the Start menu.
    2. From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    6. Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:
    C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
    7. Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
    8. Restart your computer, launch itunes & see if you can sync content now.

  • How do I stop itunes from transferring apps from my ipad or iphone to my pc ?

    How do I stop iTunes from transferring apps from my iPad or iPhone to my PC ? I have App sync turn off and I have add files to library turned off. Yet every time
    I sync iTunes transfers all my apps to my PC. I have 20-30 gig of apps on each. A lot of them are 1gig each and it takes for ever to sync , plus I don't want 100 gig of apps just sitting on my hard drive for no reason. Any app I ever want is always available in the cloud so what's the point of having them on my PC in the 1st place?

    I'm pretty sure that the space is used up on your computer's hardrive.
    Anyway my solution to this nuisance of apps/itunes transfer was to allow itunes to download the apps from my phone...
    ...First of all I had tried to uncheck a few boxes in itunes a) automatically sync when device is connected (in the summary section) b) prevent devices from syncing (edit>preferences>devices) and c) Automatically sync new apps (apps section of device)
    HOWEVER, when I would click sync in any section, apps tried to transfer to itunes from my iphone.
    So after all my apps went on my computer (approx. 9 GB), I checked the boxes back, disconnected my device and deleted all the apps from itunes and my computer simultaneously (by clicking del/move to recycle bin).
    Now when I connect my iphone it does it's backup/sync thing automatically ...but no apps try to transfer
    Note: apps from your library cannot be set to sync with your device
    I can now also click sync in any section and no apps transfer.
    (This problem started when I downloaded an app from itunes rather than my device and I later transfered the app to my device. My apps section in itunes is completely empty now and no apps appear in windows explorer either)
    the only thing I am unsure of now is; what's going to happen if I purchase an app from itunes on my pc again ...I'm guessing I'll have to repeat the process (might want to avoid that)

    Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

  • Transferring apps from iphone 4 to iphone5

    I have a new iPhone5 & successfully transferred contacts & other data successfully fro my old iPhone4, but haven't been able to transfer the apps from my old iPhone.  I transferred purchased apps to my Mac, but my iPhone5 isn't compatible with the version of iTunes I have, it indicates I need version 10.7, but my Mac has OS X 10.5.8 which isn't compatible with version 10.7.  I'd really like to be able to manually sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes, but haven't found a way to download iTunes version 10.7 since I need version OS X 10.6.8 or later. 

    Are you on wifi?   You can always sync with your PC if the apps are local and that would speed it up dramatically.

  • I wanted to transfer apps from ipad to iphone, eg 1password.   Unfortunately, following the syncing process, the apps have been transferred but can't get into them and if I can, they don't have the contents in them, they're just the empty app!

    Can you advise how I can sync apps from ipad to iphone without losing data.

    Data does not sync between devices, so you can't do what you want to accomplish.
    If you want to sync 1Password, then install it on both devices and use it's iCloud sync feature.

  • Transferring data from 3GS to iPhone 5 without original laptop

    My wife has a 3GS which was kept in sync with a laptop running xp. This laptop has died and she has just taken delivery of an iPhone 5. She can use my mac and would like to migrate from the 3GS to the iPhone 5. I have never done this before but my theory was to plug the 3GS into my iTunes and right click and complete backup. Once this is complete I was going to plug in the 5 and set it up as a new phone restoring the backup as I go. Is this the best plan or is that not possible ?
    I presume she will need her own user profile setup on my mac so that she can have her own iTunes setup and not disrupt mine
    Any advice welcome

    How do I download all my apps from my old iPhone onto a new iPhone?

    Hi pijidak,
    You can either sync the new phone directly to iTunes on the computer you sync with, or you can click on the App Store icon on your new iPhone. Then click on Updates, and then on Purchased. You will see the list of all apps you have purchased via iTunes with a little cloud next to them. You can selectively download whichever ones you wish as long as you have a Wifi connection.
    Cheers,
