New user on iphone -- how do I sync apps from my itunes account?

My husband bought and used an iphone 3g, and bought five free apps. Then he gave the iphone to me. I have my own itunes account on my own computer, and have purchased free apps on my computer, but the apps don't sync to my iphone. (My music library from CDs and my address book do sync from my itunes account on my computer to my iphone). Any solution short of "restore"? I want to purchase apps on my itunes account on my computer and use them on my iphone.

The apps I purchase on my itunes account on my computer do not sync with (transfer to) my iphone. Here are some free apps I have purchased: NYTimes, weathebug, nearby, ypmobile, movies, free hangman. None of them sync.
When I sync by iphone with my itunes account on my computer, I get a dialog box telling me that there are apps on my phone that are not in my itunes account on my computer (my husband's five free apps). The box asks me to choose to "transfer", or "don't transfer", these apps. If I choose "don't transfer", I am warned that I will lose those apps. I have tried both methods "don't transfer" and "transfer" -- in both cases my new apps from my itunes account on my computer do not sync. In both cases my husband's apps on the iphone remain.
My itunes account on my computer indicates that I have successfully purchased and downloaded the apps.
I believe this problem is caused because an iphone can only sync apps from one itunes account. If true, than I need to know how to unconnect my iphone from my husband's itunes account.
I would appreciate any help.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • Syncing apps from one itunes account to another.

    Hey guys, first forum post so go easy on me pls
    The other day I decided to download some apps from my mums itunes account since I didnt have any money to pay for them myself. When it came to syncing/copying the apps from her account, it decided to delete most, if not all the apps from my own account.
    I had a read around and have "authorised" both my laptop and her macbook, and the iphone registers this. However, I tried to copy some apps from my account this morning and it seems it wouldnt have been possible without deleting the ones I had copied from her account.
    Is there any easy way around this syncing problem? Or will I just have to keep buying things from my own itunes accout?
    Any feedback is appreciated

    It's not possible to transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another
    Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update

  • How do I get apps from my Itunes account to my Ipad?

    I have apps on my Itunes account on my laptop and want to know how do I get them onto my Ipad2

    Have you ever synced your iPad with your computer? If you have synced in the past, then sync the apps to the iPad. If you have never synced this iPad with iTunes on your PC, iTunes is going to ask you if you want to erase the iPad and replace the content on the device with the contents in your iTunes library.
    So have you ever synced with the PC before?
    You can download the apps again for free in the purchased tab of the App Store on the iPad - as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with.

  • HT1977 How do i delete apps from my itunes account?

    Hello,
    Can some one please tell me how to remove apps that i have downloaded in itunes allready?

    If you want to permanently delete them from your account (as if you never had purchased them) do the following: Open iTunes on your Computer you synced the iPad with (or any other computer authorized with the Apple ID you bought the apps with). Got to the Option "Apps" (left hand side, pretty much at the top of the list), then find the app(s) you want to delete, right-click on them and choose delete. Hope this helps. The next time you sync your other devices with your iTunes Library (if you have an other device e.g. iPad) the apps will be permanently deleted from them, too. Hope this helps.
    If you want to just delete them from your device (say iPad/iPhone): Sync your devices with your iTunes LIbrary, select them in the left hand side options bar (under devices...you'll see it), then you will be presented with a summary page of that device. Select Apps (from the options menu at the top of the page) and unselect the App(s) you want to delete from your device. Sync your device again, and you're done.
    Hope this helps.

  • Syncing apps from separate iTunes account.

    I have an iPhone 3, iPod Nano, iPod classic & iPod touch.  I just recently got an iPad from work.  The iPad was given to me for business purposes, however I was told that I may use it for fun/personal reasons as much as I'd like.
    My issue, is that my boss would like to keep the iPad connected to his iTunes accounts, for security/business purposes, and I was wondering if there is a way to sync my apps that I have downloaded on my iTunes (and other devices) to the iPad, without making it not connected to the company's iTunes anymore.
    There are currently no apps, music, videos, photos etc. synced to the iPad at all.
    Thanks in advance,
    Justin

    I was able to sync my husband's iPad with my account so we could share apps.  The only issue we run into is when updates come for the apps I have to synch his iPad to get the updates whereas I can get them directly on my iPad.  Haven't figured a way for him to get them directly.  You should have no issues.

  • How do you sync apps from another itunes without erasing all your apps

    Ok so here is my situation, my usb is down so I am downloaded an application on another computer and uploaded it to Itunes. Now I got it loaded up and trying to sync it to my ipod but it wants to erase all my other apps and just put the one on. So how do I get just the one app on without erasing it, would appreciate the help, thanks in advance!

    I'm guessing you mean your wifi is down. Otherwise, I'd say just download it from the appstore on the touch.
    Also, if you log into your account on itunes and download an app, couldn't you log into your App Store account on the Touch and download it that way?

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • How do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:

  • How to delete all apps of a iTunes account from a iPhone, but keep them on my Mac?

    We are a big family and every one has his own iTunes account, but we got only one computer. We purchesed some of the apps twice (with different accounts), and if I sync, iTunes takes the apps from random accounts and loads them onto my iPhone. So sometimes I cant take the Apps I really want because my iPhone is already filled with content from 5 iTunes accounts.
    So how can I choose, from wich account I want my content?

    thanks, but lets say I want the apps from my mother, my father, my sister, my other sister, my brother and me. my other brother bought the same app as I did and iTunes syncs, I don't know why, the app from my other brother's account. so my iPhone would be packed with 6 accounts, but thats impossible. so how can I tell iTunes "sync these accounts, but not that one!"

    How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

    Hey sgallagher5200,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to remove an associated device from your account:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
    To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
