Install 2 of the same app

Why can't you install two of the same game app on the ipad?  Do you have to purchase another device in order to get the app?  If so, do you have to create another apple id on the different device to keep it from showing already installed?

You can only run one instance of an app on an individual iOS device.
If you have a second device, and you are using the sasme AppleId for the iTunes& App stores (which you can do), then you do not need to repurchase the app. You can simply download it. (This is sometimes NOT the case for in-app purchases; depends on teh app).

  • I just re-installed an app. It ended up installing 2 of the same apps. It won't let me delete them. What should I do?, I just re-installed an app. It ended up installing 2 of the same apps. It won't let me delete them. What should I do?

    Can you help?

    Are you able to open one / both of them ?
    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if one or both of them disappears when the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    iPhoto for iOS is no longer being offered by Apple and has been replaced by the Photos app. It is not compatible with iOS 8.  This Apple document may help:  Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support

    It shows up in the store as a universal app, so you should be ok to go.

  • Since Apple already has a SMS/MMS app for the iPhone, which can be used over WiFi, can the same app be installed on the iPad 2?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, and realized I do most of my SMS/MMS messaging at home, when connected to my WiFi. Then I began to think, if I'm using the messaging app over WiFi, can the SAME app (which, personally I like much better than the third party apps) be installed on the iPad 2 (which I'm still waiting from back order)?

    Incorrect.
    SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    "Dumb" phones or phones not in the smart category that don't have internet access in any shape, form, or fashion can exchange SMS/MMS.
    Since SMS/MMS (a poor man's email with cell phones since it is very limited) is a cash cow for carriers and very profitable, why wouldn't cell phone carriers be interested in including SMS/MMS as an additional option (and of course at an additional expense) with a data plan only for the iPad? They certainly are interested in it but they can't since SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    Get me the IPAD SMS app
    Take your whining someplace else. The self-entitlement displayed here by some is laughable.

    Can't help you with that.

    Who does this iPad belong to? If someone else used their account then they paid for the apps. You will need to buy and pay for apps using your own account which means that you will no longer have access to the apps installed by the other person.
    3) I also know I installed some apps on my own account but when I try to update them, the installer guy,s apple I'd comes out. Is there A way to change that?
    If this iPad belongs to you I suggest you reset the iPad to factory defauts and just use it with the apps that you've paid for. You will be able to re-download the apps from the iTunes app store after the reset.
    Follow this guide to reset the iPad to factory settings.

  • Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

    I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
    I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
    I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
    From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
    So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
    I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

    Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.

  • Can I put the same app on more than one iPad?

    I'm not sure I can even do this or how if I can.
    Situation is I got a New iPad and my wife 'inherited' my iPad2. We use ONE Apple iTunes account. I've dup'ed the iPad2 over to the New iPad. We use two computers and each has iTunes on it. No problems at this point.
    Now I added an app to my iPad, and my wife wants it. She went to the app store and it shows as 'already installed'. Again, we're both using the same account (I don't want 2). Looked at Previous Purchases, same thing, already installed, grayed out.
    So the question is can I do what I want, that is install the same app on 2 iPads? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Irv S.

    Sure - as long as you use the same apple ID on both devices you can download it to both devices. Why is is greyed out on her iPad is not clear to me - other than the app is actually on her iPad via Automatic Downloads and she doesn't realize that its on the device. Is that possible?
    Search for the app on her iPad- swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the App at the top in the search field. Does it show up?

  • Is it possible to have two app icons for the same app?

    I work with Assistive Technologies that enable people with various disabilites to use computing devices, such as the iPad.  Some people do not have the fine motor skills to precisely tap the intended app icon.  If I had a page full of app icons that launched the same app then I might have a workaround.
    Thanks in advance,

    Mike,
    At the moment, no. The app store won't let you re-download an app already installed, and they all come in single icons.
    The accessibility settings enable a zoom feature, but if your clients have difficulty tapping an app, they may have issues using three fingers simultaneously to zoom in/out.
    There is a voice ability, but I've just spent the last 10 minutes playing with it and successfully called everyone in my phonebook (And i only wanted to open iBooks)
    If you turn the iPad landscape you still have the same amount of apps on the page, just spaced out a little more, giving more margin for error/ But this still requires the same 'touch space area'  to activate the app.
    This might be something Apple could look at, with pressure from users such as yourself and your clients.
    Hope this helps, even though it;s not really a solution

  • AppStore telling me the same app requires "updating"?

    Hey all,
    I've downloaded from the App Store the newest version of The Sims 3, however both iTunes and my iPhone 3GS are still telling me I have one update to download, and it's the same application. I tried re-downloading/syncing, yet it keeps telling me the same app needs to be downloaded. I've tried downloading through iTunes, and through the iPhone itself (connected to a WiFi network as the app is over 10MB).
    This happened a little bit ago, when it was telling me there was an update for Evernote, and once downloaded and synced, it kept informing me of this update.
    Is there an issue at the moment somewhere? Have I run into some sort of bug that should be reported? Is there a fix/workaround?
    Thank you.

    Both my wife and I have had same issues recently. When I first noticed it, it was the same time frame that they made changes to the AppStore (read about in blogs about how some changes upset developers as they changed how apps are listed) and since then, it seems to happen often. I just have to install again and eventually it stops saying I need the same app.
    Sort of wonder if they made yet another mistake with an update.

  • Is installing mountian lion the same as doing a clean install of an iOS

    is installing mountain lion the same as doing a clean install of an ios?

    Haven't a clue what an ios is, but reinstalling SL, Lion, or ML replaces all OS components and the basic Apple apps, such as TextEdit, Safari, Mail, and Terminal. What it doesn't do is touch any user data, settings, or other apps.

  • I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

  • Why do i constantly get 1009 and 100 errors even though i'm updating what i previously downloaded from same country and from the same app store??...its just simply awful

    It has been like a month since i can't update my apps which i downloaded from the App Store...now i keep getting error1009 followed by error100 even though i'm still living in the same country and using the same account and updating from the same App Store...this is getting awful,painful and very frustrating???is there any solution...even if when i try to download from third parties,i just get sent back to the same awful App Store...So WHAT is the Solution??????????

    I would delete the apps that you are trying to update. The MAS should then offer to install the app and it will install the updated version.
    If you are afraid of completely loosing the app then either copy the app to an ext HDD or put it in the Trash, but do not empty the Trash until you are sure that the MAS has installed a new version.

  • Create a new user account without share the same apps

    Does someone knows how to create a new user without having to share the same apps that i have installed on mine user account?

    There are two Applications folder on the Mac. One is at Root and the other is in Home directory.
    Any applications in the Applications folder as Root level can be executed by all users of the Mac.
    Any applications in the Applications folder in your Home directory can only be executed by you.
    Why do you really care anyway?
