I cant download an app i bought on my ipad to my iphone 4

I bought a app theough my ipad 1, snyced to my macbook pro but can't sync it to my iphone 4.  Help

Easier to download the app on directly on your iPhone rather than syncing. You won't be charged again. You must use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

    When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!

  • How do I keep iTunes from copying apps I bought on my iPad onto my iphone?

    I just got an iPad and I've had an iPhone for quite awhile. I put a bunch of apps on the iPad but they were all ones I already had on the phone. Then I added some new games for my son and next time I synced my iphone, iTunes put the new games on there too even though I didn't select to add them.
    Is this a setting I missed? Is iTunes trying to sync my phone with the iPad?

    With your device attached to the PC go to iTunes (on the PC).
    Select your device from the sidebar.
    Click on Apps (at the top).
    Scroll to the bottom of your listed apps and just underneath, you need to uncheck "Automatically install new apps"

  • I can't download an app I bought on iPad onto iPhone

    I recently bought an iPhone and I also bought an app on my iPad and I want it to be on my iPhone without having to rebuy it. Help?

    Then make sure that this version of the app you bought is also available for the iPhone and just sign in by using the same Apple ID download it for your iPhone again. (Sometimes there are some Apps which are available in a special iPad version which higher resolution so that you can not download them for your iPad.)

  • I put parent control on my sons apps so he cant download 17  apps, but I just found out if he restores his phone in itunes he can download an app then go back and back it up. Is there a way I can black restore on Itunes?

    I put Parents Control on my sons apps so he cant download 17+ apps, but I just found out if he goes on itunes he can restore his phone to orginal settings which wont have parent control on it. Then when ever he wants he cant backup his phone so it looks like nothing ever happened. Is there a way I can bloack restore on itunes?

    You can't block restoring in iTunes, but any restrictions you put on the phone are included in the iPhone backup, thus if your son restores from backup, he will restore any restrictions you put on the phone. His only choice, to completely remove restrictions, is to restore as a new device. You can also set parental controls in iTunes: iTunes>Preferences>Parental.

  • How to download new version of ios 5.0 in my ipod ? i cant download new apps and i cant connect to itunes store.

    how to download new version of ios 5.0 in my ipod ? i cant download new apps and i cant connect to itunes store.?

    Only with iOS5 or later you can update/upgrade directly from the iPod/iPhone.
    When your version of iOS is lower than 5, you must connect to iTunes and then update.
    It is best when you update iTunes to the latest version first.

    Try a restore via iTunes. You need to put your device in dfu mode to let iTunes restore. If you don't know to put it in dfu mode, google it.

    Hello, esienriqueiglesias.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would need more information regarding what exact error, message or behavior that you are experiencing when attempting to download applications.  However, some applications are large in size and require a Wi-Fi connection to download.  I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article below.  
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
