If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well?

If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well? or viceversa..? If yes, can I retrieve the same app when I purchase a new iphone (ofcourse I maintain the same app id) free of cost?

Some can, some cannot. Most iPhone apps can be used on an iPad (though not all), but the reverse is true less often. Check the specifications and system requirements for the app you're interested in. You can easily add the app, presuming it's compatible, of course, to any new iPhone without additional charge either by synching it from iTunes or by downloading the app again from the iTunes Store.

Buy an App for iPhone can i also use it on iPad ?

At the moment i have my Mac Book Pro and an iPad2, i am soon to get an iPhone as well ....
I have been browsing through the iTunes App Store i fancy buying Pages and Numbers, i already have and use these on my MacBookPro, so if i buy these two apps for my (soon to be mine) iPhone can i use the same apps on my iPad2 as well, without buying them again ?
I bet this is the dumbest question of the day, because i would hope that one copy of each should be enough !. It must surely work along the same lines as buying music albums in iTunes, i can share the same albums across all of my devices !!!!!

There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer, and this included 3rd party apps for the iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone.

HT4759 just purchased an nextbook 7. Can this be used for icloud too? It runs on a android 2.3 OS.

Just purchsed the Nextbook 7 and I then purchased my first iPhone 4s. I am completely new to the iworld and i come in peace from the Microsoft world. I Think i've found my new home. This phone is amazing but, I would love for my tablet to be used in someway with it (ie... retreive books and share photos). Is this even possible?

Hi Terry.
The iPhone 4 is only compatitble with Windows based computers running Windows Vista or 7, or Macs running v10.7.2 in order to share photos and books > Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices

T500 - HDD for Ultrabay - can it be used for Recovery Media & Backups & Page File & data?

I'm learning to check first before buying things.
I am considering getting a generic ultrabay SATA adapter
http://cgi.ebay.com/SATA-adapter-IBM-THINKPAD-43N3412-R400-W500-X200S-R500-/130441260492
and a WD 7,200 HDD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136278
Can the ultrabay HDD be used for Recovery Media, and also Backups, page file, and other data?
And can the Backups on this HDD be deleted, so only the last backup is present?
Also, is it possible to use a HDD in the ultrabay slot, without an adpater? My T500 is a desktop replacement currently, so the HDD wouldn't need to be protected from movement or bumps.
Thanks for any ideas

For all of you who know less than I do, a HDD in the ultrabay slot can be used as a Recovery boot, and for the R&R backups.
These must both be put on the primary partition of the HDD.
I believe, but can't test or confirm, that another partition (logical partition) could be added to the drive and used for page filing and data.

I would like to create a fillable pdf for my employees that are using the ipad

I need to have my employees turn in forms/reports on a daily basis so I would like to create these forms where they could enter the input but are not able to alter the form (Adobe calls this a "fillable pdf")on the ipad and then be able to email it to me. Any ideas on a good app

PDF Reader Pro Edition says that it can handle PDF forms and allows emailing of documents:
http://itunes.apple.com/app/pdf-reader-pro-edition-for/id364502063?mt=8
I haven't tried it myself but it's gotten good ratings. You would create the forms on your computer using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Recently synched my iPad w/Mac computer and all my iPad apps were removed. Purchased 11 apps on 9/20/11 and paid for 10 of the 11. Can I get them back w/o repurchasing them?

I tried to edit my last post but did not get in under the time limit. Read this thread. It will give you all the information that you need to create your own iTunes library on the Mac.
There may be more information than you really need, but the instructions cover virtually every possible item that you would want to transfer over.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
Read my instructions and King Penguin's instructions. This was posted for a PC laptop user but it works the same way on a Mac - the instructions to turn off auto sync will be slightly different on the Mac - iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.

I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?

There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account.

Of course not. Number blocking must be done by your wireless provider.

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,
GB

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I have one apple ID for my MAC and another used for both my iPhone and IPad. Purchases from iTunes don't appear on either my iPhone or iPad only only the MAC. How do I sync the two IDs?

I have one Apple ID for my MAC and iTunes account and another that is used for both my iTunes and iPad. When I purchased music from iTunes using the Mac ID, the music isn't available on my iTunes or iPad. Neither lets me change my ID so how do I fix this issue so I can play the music on all three?

Hello chlanli
You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

I am trying to backup my iPhone but the email used for my Apple ID has been deactivated so I can no longer log into my account or back up my iPhone. How do I back it up otherwise? Or how do I change my email?

Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well?
