Question

I just bought an iPad 2 - I plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded a couple of apps using my wife's iTunes account.  Since I bought the device for work, I then set up my own iTunes account on my office PC.  The problem I am having is that none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad.  I can see them on screen #2 in iTunes and I know how to swipe to get to that screen.
I've tried everything mentioned - I authorized my office computer (but not my home one - could this be the problem?).  I turned on home network file sharing.  Checked to make sure parental controls are off.  I'm not sure what to do next.

Answer 1

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.
