Moving apps from one iPad to another

Can I move paid apps from one iPad to another?

Yes. Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the new device with the iTunes library containing the content.

How do I transfer a paid iPad app from one iPad to another?

I am not sure where is the best place to post this question, but here it is anyway:
The school I work in has 37 iPads split between 2 mobile carts. For a variety of reasons, the staff wands the iPads divided up by classroom. No problem. The problem is that they would like the paid apps on the ipads moved around so the grade level apps wind up in the appropriate classrooms. This is logical.
My problem is I have no real idea how to free up iPads from one iPad so that they are available for transfer to another ipad. I use Apple Configurator to acquire paid apps from the Volume Purchasing Program and download/install them initially to iPads.
One knowledgeable individual gave me this advice:
"If you placed the apps on the ipad using Apple Configurator, then you should be able to attach the initial iPad to AC, unsupervise the iPad, and the apps' licences should be available for redistribution. Then connect iPad #2 to AC, turn Supervision on in AC, then add the specific app to iPad #2."
- - - - That sounded too good to be true. I tried it and found out that that process does not free up app licences (at lest when I tried it). What I think is the problem is that I don't know Apple products and iOS well enough and missed steps. (I am from the Netware/Microsoft AD/Windows computing environment.)
Could someone help an old grunt out and possibly provide a detailled set of steps how to transfer paid app licences from one iPad to another? I appreciate any help. Thanks

I can't answer your question and chances are that you could be here a long time before someone that can help will chime in. So from one old grunt to another, I think you would be better off posting your question in this forum. These folks should be more familiar with the type of thing that you are seeking help with.

Hi Technician7,
It is true that you can "return" app licenses to Apple Configurator and redistribute that license to another iPad. The key is that both iPads must be "Supervised" in order to return the app license. See this from Apple:
Removing apps from devices
If you use Apple Configurator to remove a redeemed VPP app from a supervised device, Apple Configurator marks the corresponding redemption code as available. It can be reassigned to a different device supervised by this copy of Apple Configurator for this Mac only. It is not available for redemption by other Macs or iOS devices.
If you unsupervise a supervised device, all apps will be removed from the device and the redemption codes used to install those apps will be marked available for reassignment. If you simply remove a device record from Apple Configurator, the redemption codes for any apps on that device will not be available for reassignment.
I hope this answers your question!

Moving app from one screen to another fails very often

I'm using the feature to manually move apps from one screen to another on iPhones. It works very smooth without any problem on these devices.
On my iPad 3 I've some trouble with that feature. 1 out of 20 tries works. It makes no difference if moved slow, fast or concentrated - it fails too often.
Spoken with other people using iPad leads to the results the problem also exists on iPad 2. So what happens? You switch to edit mode by holding the "Home" button and wait until the apps are vibrating. Now you put a finger over an app, hold them and move them to the right or left display border. Instead of switching to the next screen the icon jumps back to it's original position. Different people tried it on my iPad and all of them failed in the given rate.
Workaround is to use the shortcut bar on the bottom or to use iTunes from Mac or PC. I've also noticed that most of the time a "close" request of an application (by hitting the "-" sign on an app icon) failed if the app is on the border of the display. This happens randomly and you feel you missed the "-" sign so repeating the operation. But if you concentrate on it you will notice it doesn't respond properly.
As a result my impression is the touchscreen functionality is not as good as on iPhone. Where I have no problem at all with both operations. As other people also suffer from this issues it must be related to the iPad screen.

Yes by restoring the iPhone from the backup of the Pod. The app has to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore.

Having Trouble Moving Apps From One Page to Another

I can easily move apps around on the same page. But I can't seem to move an app from one page to another. They stop at the side of the screen and won't move to the next page. Is there a secret to this or does it take fancy dexterity?

It takes a little dexterity but if you have 9 pAges of apps then it takes pure magic to move any to the
Tenth page. I still haven't been able to do it. I've discovered how to delete those pesky defAult apps though. You put them on the ninth page then drag another app onto page nine and push the other one right off. Disappears forever

"Customizing the Home Screen
You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock
icons along the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home
screens.
Rearrange icons:
1 Touch and hold any Home screen icon until the icons begin to wiggle.
2 Arrange the icons by dragging them.
3 Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
You can also add links to your favorite webpages on the Home screen. See “Web
Clips” on page 58.
Create additional Home screens: While arranging icons, drag an icon to the right
edge of the screen until a new screen appears. You can flick to return to the original
screen and drag more icons to the new screen.

How to transfer app from one iPad to another

How do you transfer apps you have paid for from one iPad to another

You can restore the new iPad using an iCloud or iTunes back up (assuming you have all of those apps backed up), or simply redownload them from the App store or sync via itunes.

How do I transfer apps from one ipad to another

Let me start off by saying that itunes confuses the crap out of me. I am a moderately saavy tech person and even spent a morning watching youtube tutorials a while back and still I can barely figure what to do in itunes. I get by.
So, my son had an ipad and we have bought an app through the app store that was around 30$. It was an educational thing, so an important one. Got him a new ipad yesterday and now I need that old app to be transferred onto the new ipad. Called the app company who said I needed to do it through itunes. So I hooked up the old ipad to my computer, it opens up itunes and asks if I want to update. I figure yes. Start the update. Says it will take 6 hours. Cancel the update. I click on the ipad icon in the top left and see at the bottom of the next screen, a sync option. I figure, ok, I need to sync this so that the app is now on my computer so I can then transfer it to the new ipad, right? I sync. I unplug the old and plug in the new ipad. I sync again, thinking, ok, now it should be there, right? Nope. I check the app list....it's not there. 5 dozen other stupid kid apps making food and hairstyles...no educational app. I plug the old one back in...this is useless. I can't figure out how to see the educational app on the old ipad through my computer....
What the heck am I doing wrong!?!

Syncing copies content from your computer's iTunes to the device.
If the app is still in the store then you should be able to redownload it directly on the new iPad via the Purchased tab in its App Store app.
Or, to copy the app from the old iPad (and other any other download that's only on the iPad) connect it to your computer's iTunes and use the File > Devices >Transfer Purchases menu option to copy it over :
To sync it to the new iPad, connect it and select it in iTunes, and select its Apps tab e.g. (if using the current version of iTunes)
On the right-hand side of the screen find that app in the listbox of apps and click the 'Install' button next to it, and then click the apply/sync button bottom right to install it onto the iPad.

Moving Apps from One Account to Another

When I moved to my new job I got a new phone. Not being sure what to do I set up a new BB Id with my new e-mail. Now I can't get my apps from my old account. How can I move those apps from my old account to my new one without having to pay for them again?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is a matter of using that old BB ID...apps cannot transfer between BB IDs, but BB IDs can transfer between devices, carrying along their purchase records.
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
Given that you've already created a new BB ID on the new device, you may also need this KB:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
I'm sorry that the process will be so cumbersome, but it is what it is.
Cheers!

How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?

Hi all,
We just got a second iPad. Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID. My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad. Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID. I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.
NM

You can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.

Moving Apps from one machine to another

I have recently gotten a new mac and I would like to move only some of the programs from my old machine to my new machine. Is there any way to do that? I definitely do not want to move everything.

How to transfer the progress of just one game from one iPad to another iPad

Hi everyone! When I purchased an iPad Air, I gave my old iPad 3 to a family member who kept one of my games and its progress, but changed every other App to suit his requirements. My iPad Air has all MY Apps, which are different to the ones on the iPad 3. Both iPads use my Apple account.
I want to somehow transfer the progress of just the one game from the iPad 3 to the iPad Air and I don't want to back up my iPad Air to be the same as his iPad 3, which I know will transfer the progress of the game, but it will also mean I will get a load of Apps I don't want and more importantly, lose all my Apps and the progress in all my games.
i.e. can I transfer one game and its progress from one iPad to another without altering/deleting/removing existing Apps on either iPad.
Phew ... hope the above makes some sort of sense to someone!!!
Thank you

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.
