IPod apps transferable to iPad?

I've seen a couple of questions similar to this, but I want to be more precise about what I want to know.
I bought an app for iPod Touch, and eventually I buy an iPad 2. I was told at the Apple store that I won't have to pay for the app again in order for me to install it on the iPad. Which is true, since I already tried it.
Now, here's my question, if I download the same app via the App Store in the iPad, with the same user ID, but instead of downloading the iPhone/iPod Touch version, I download the iPad version (again, I'm referring to the same app), do I have to pay for it?
The reason I ask is because I was charged for two apps I had bought for iPod Touch previously, and I'm guessing I was charged again because these were iPad version. Is this correct or an error from the system?
Thank you in advance for your answers!

If it is a different app i.e. there are different iPod and iPad versions of the app (they should have different names) then they are separate purchases and you will be charged for both. Only if it is the same app will you not be charged for downloading it again.
There are basically three types of app : iPad only; universal; iPhone/iPod Touch.
If there is a separate iPad version of the app (which quite often have HD in their name) then if you want them you will need to purchase them - there is no free download of them, and no trade-up option in the store.
If the apps are universal apps (indicated by a '+' symbol against them in the App Store) then there is one version of the app which has processing within it which recognises the device that it is on and will configure the display accordingly - there is no need to re-download them from the store unless you no longer have them on your computer.
If the app is only designed for the iPhone/iPod Touch then it will still work on the iPad but it will just take up an iPhone sized portion of the screen, unless you press the '2x' button which will appear on the screen which will effectively double the size of each pixel in both directions (so therefore may appear pixelated).

Please help if you can: I accidentally deleted the IPOD app for my IPAD 3. I need it to enable HOME SHARING. How can I restore or reinstall it? It is not an app I bought, it came on the IPAD from Apple.

Do IPod apps work on IPad?

Do IPod apps work on IPad?
thanks

Yes - as long as they are compatible with the iOS on the iPad. If the app needs 5.1 on the iPod - you have to be running 5.1 on the iPad as well.
The iPod specific apps will appear in half size on the iPad screen, but can be enlarged by tapping a 2X button that will appear in the corner of the screen. However, the screen image will be pixelated and the resoultion will not be all that great as a result.

How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad? I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.

where did they put functionality of the iPod app within Music?

With iOS 5 it was redesigned and renamed as Music

I created Playlists on iPod App for my iPad 2. After a recent sync my Playlists I created and saved were gone! Why? What do I need to do to Save those Playlist so theynare not lost nduring sync. THANK YOU

I created Playlist on my iPad (iPod App).....but they disappeared after sync process with my laptop. Why?
What should I have done so they don' t go way?
Doesn't make sense to redo them every time.

Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

Ipod app disappeared from Ipad

The iPod app was replaced with the Music app.

How to enlarge my iPod apps on the ipad

I downloaded my apps from my iPod, but they are small on the iPad. I was told that they are compatible. So how do I enlarge them?

Look for those buttons at the bottom right of the app's screen for non-universal apps.
Apps compatible with both devices will be denoted in the App Store with a + symbol.
Some developers do not make universally compatible apps, but have a separate (usually called HD) version for the iPad.

How to turn off autoplay in iPod app on an iPad

Hi Everyone,
I want to use my new iPad as a backing track player for my duo cover band. We've been doing this for months with my MBP and you can just uncheck each song in a playlist to keep iTunes from automatically playing the next song in the playlist. I can't find a way to do this on the iPad. I'd also like to be able to stop the iPad from automatically playing a song by tapping its name in the playlist. That could quite embarrassing if you accidentally stopped playing an existing song in the middle and started up a new one. I found TraxxPad, which is an app for using the iPad for this purpose, but it doesn't have feature that shows the run time and time remaining while a song is playing, which is a really useful feature.
The iPod on the iPad would be fine if there was a way in preferences to turn off these 2 features. Does Apple not think that maybe sometimes you might want to listen to just one song without the next song in the playlist automatically playing?
Thanks for your help.

IPod (music) app on the iPad is terrible, or am I missing something?

I think the iPod app on the iPhone is pretty great, but the iPod app on the iPad 2 is really, really awful. Am I missing something? My main issue with it is that you can't browse by genre. There is a Genre tab at the bottom, but when I tap then and then tap a genre, instead of getting a list of artists in that genre, what I get is a little popup window that lists every song by every artist from every albums within that genre. It's completely worthless. On the iPhone I can tap a genre and then see the artists in that genre. Tap an artist and I see the albums by that artists, then I can tap on a specific album and then play it. That's what I want to do. Is there some way to do this with the iPad version that I'm missing?
Even the Artists tap is far from ideal. If you tap that you do see all of the albums by that artist, but they are all listed in one popup window and you can't tap an album and just see the tracks on that album and just play that album. You can start playing on a certain album, but when that's done it will go onto the next album in the list, and that's not what I want.
Is there any way to get the iPhone's iPod app behavior that I like?

I agree. It is certainly one area that can be significantly improved on the iPad.
Send feedback to Apple on it.

IPad iPod App working horribly after update

After the update, my ipod app on my ipad 2 has been working horribly. When I click on a song, a different song will play, and when i try to go back a song, it skips and repeats. There is just so many problems. When im listening, a song will come on and then it wont play, even if i press 'pause' then 'play'. Also, all the lyrics that I imputed into iTunes is not showing up on the iPad. My lyrics are there, just not on the ipad and there isnt an option for lyrics selection.
Overall, this update was fine, just many problems with the iPod App.

Yeah, I'm stuck in the same place. Last week the Ipod app crashed on open. I ran the video app and it worked when I played a podcast. After that, the Ipod app then worked. All was well for a while but now NEITHER the iPod app or the Video app will launch successfully. Note sure really what to do this time.
The last time, before I figured out that video fix, a complete restore did not work. Granted, I restored from backup for I don't want to restore as NEW since I have hours invested in inputting data in financial apps that I really don't want to lose by really starting as if it was a new ipad. Sadly, they don't yet have good backup restore options in some of the apps.

Ipod app freezes up

Not sure why the ipod app on the ipad 2 keeps freezing up for minutes at a time. Really frustrating, this ipod apps stinks. The one in the iTouch is more responsive.
Also, any way to make the app not display the art full screen after starting a song. This is also really annoying.
Thanks

The album art being displayed is the way that the app works. Tap the album art and then tap the left arrow (back) at the bottom to go back to the iPod main screen.
Quit the app and restart
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the iPod app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't help try resetting your iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If the app continues to freeze, it may be that you have a corrupt song in the app - maybe a song that you imported from a CD and that could be causing the problem.

IPod app refuses to open

Got a problem with the iPod app on my iPad. After syncing with iTunes the iPod app attempts to open but then quickly closes. Also, any app that uses music tracks( I.e. The alarm clock) will not open either. I do not have internet access other than my iPad.
Any ideas on what should do.
Thanks

Things to try:
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
3) Apple support at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
Or you can take it to an Apple store to see an expert.

IPod app says syncing but not connected

I am at a hotel with wifi and I had my iBook iPad and iPod touch all connected to the wifi network. When I touch the iPod app on my iPad it says syncing on the bottom and cancel syncing in the center of the window. The iPad is not connected by a USB cable to my iBook. I cannot connect them and sync so knave been using MobileMe for calendar, contacts and photos. Why does the iPod app say syncing? I have used both force quit and reset on the iPod app. I disconnected the wifi and it still says syncing. Help!

It is a pre intel iBook so I do not connect it to my iPad. I use MobileMe to sync calendars, contacts, bookmarks automatically. I can access photos and documents through the cloud. I don't know whty the iPod app thinks it is syncing. It is not connected. I even broke the wifi connections on the iPod touch and the iBook. I can not make the iPod app stop saying it is syncing even though it cannot be doing it.

Video playlist with iPod app

I thought that I used to be able to make iTunes video playlists and play them with the iPod app on my iPad.
Now it seems that all of my videos are only available in the iPad Video app but none are organized into a playlist.
iTunes shows the iPad video playlists with videos and the playlist show up on the iPad app on the iPad but they are empty.
What am I missing?
Can I organize videos into playlists on the iPad?
Thanks,
Richard

I am having the same problem and since the upgrade it's been a huge disappointment to me. I wish some developers read it and work and solving it ASAP. Not being able to organize videos in playlists rendered my ipad completely useless for me. It's an upgrade nightmare i wish it goes away soon. Good luck to us.
