Purchased app doesn't sync to iPad

Purchased app shows downloaded on by pc but it doesn't sync to my iPad and although it indicated it's compatible with iPad, in iTunes it only shows up in iPod purchases downloaded, not in iPad purchases. I found that at the time I purchased it I didn't have enough storage on my iPad for it so freed up plenty of storage and deleted the app and "repurchased" as instructed in iTunes troubleshooting. It again showed it downloaded but still only as an iPhone app and didn't sync to iPad.

See if the workaround in this discussion will solve your problem.

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk. Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

Can I install purchased apps on more than one iPad that i own?

I can't sync new purchased app from itune to my ipad

recently i brought new asus laptop with windows 8 OS. i have installed the itune into this computer. everything i purchase from apple store i can't transfer to my ipad. i can see all the app i had download before from my itune.
and if i download new app from my ipad then i can see it from my itune app window. but it won't work other way around. not even sync to new update for my original apps that i already have.
if i plug back into my old laptop with xp os, it work just fine.
anybody have any idea what is going on? some functions i might be missing to check?
Thanks

Hi there chouhappy!
It sounds like you want your apps to download onto your iPad automatically when you purchase them on the computer. This is a feature called Automatic Downloads, and you will need to turn it on for your new computer and iPad. An article about doing this can be found here:
iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
It sounds like you might be syncing your iPad with multiple computers as well. An article about successfully syncing with multiple computers can be found right here:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202
If you are still having trouble getting your apps from your computer to your iPad after reviewing those articles, you can always re-download the apps from your Past Purchases history:

Purchased apps deleted during sync; restoring from app store doesn't work

Hi. New iPad, syncing with OS10.5, iTunes 10.1.2
Purchased some apps (NYTimes, Pages, Sketchbook Pro) on iPad during trip. Came home and sync'ed. Apps deleted (along with data?), although free apps still present. Re-purchasing from iTunes allows me to pay full price. Account activity shows the apps were purchased. Download queue is clear. I'm logged in to my only Apple account.
I haven't yet tried to restore the iPad from iTunes, as I'm afraid of losing data.
I lost some paintings I did and a eulogy for my step mom. Any help restoring this stuff would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click: *Reset Warnings* and *Reset cache*, click OK.
purchasing from iTunes allows me to pay full price.

HT203167 purchased app doesn't show up in my purchases

although i have the app on my computer and my ipad. itunes says that i haven't puchased it and therefore won't allow me to upgrade. (if i locate it in the store it asks me to buy it). I have the reciept. whats going on?

Hi Dave, thanks for the quick reply.
That's exactly my point, I DO have the receipt, I also used the same apple ID (I only have one), that's why I think it totally doesn't make sense why it doesn't recognize it as a purchased app.
I tried clicking the "Report a problem" link several times but it just redirects me to a blank white page that says "frostycup=1".??? Trying this on the ipad and on the PC got me the same result of "frostycup=1".
I tried it again this morning and finally got redirected to an apple support site page, but it just prompted me to click "done" with the details of the app purchase, but it didn't ask what the problem was. Anyway,
went ahead and "reported" the problem already via Apple about 2 hours ago (I don't know if it's really reporting, as they didn't ask what the actual problem was).
No response so far (email or otherwise). No advise after clicking on the "done" on what's supposed to happen next or how long before they give me a feedback.
Should I just wait?

Purchased app not showing up on ipad

I purchased an app from the app store and it won't show up on my ipad. When I sync to itunes, the app shows up there. But it can't be found on my ipad, I've tried searching for it. I read that age restrictions can cause the app to vanish but I don't have restrictions enabled.

Gsigley-
From the Home page, scroll to the second page. If you find it there, press and hold on the icon until it starts to wiggle. Then you can drag it back to the first page.
You can also check this in iTunes. Select the iPad under DEVICES at the left of the iTunes window. Then select Apps at the top of the window. You should see your App layout, including any apps on additional page(s).
While you are there, be sure the App has its Sync Apps box checked.

New Purchased apps will not sync to ipod touch

Ok, my son just purchased two more apps to put on his ipad touch. they show up in our library, but will not sync. "Sync Apps" is checked, as is "automatically sync new apps". All other apps are checked and are showing in his ipod touch. These two new ones, will not sync. when you check the boxes for them from the apps screen, i get the "revert" and "apply" boxes appearing. I click on "apply" then it changes to "sync" and when I click that, it goes through the sync process, then unchecks the two new apps when done. of course these two apps have failed to sync. Music sync is working fine. Any help out there?

Are the apps compatible with the iPos e.g. is the relevant iOS version on the iPod (Settings > General > About > Version) and the apps are designed to work on the iPod - an app's requirements are shown on the left-hand side of its description page in the store.

I am having trouble answering my old security questions for my itunes account and it is creating a problem because I am not able to purchase apps/songs on my new IPAD. What phone number/email adress should I call to get a quick response to my issue?

I have recently bought an IPAD 2 for my girlfriend and have encountered a problem with purchasing apps through my itunes account. It is requesting that I not only enter my pasword (which I know) but answer my old account questions, which I have forgotten the answers to. It had since locked me out of changing my questions for eight hours. Is there any number I can call to prove that I am the real owner of my itunes account so my girlfriend will be able to use her ipad to purchase new apps without having to go through the trouble of using one of my other apple devices? Random information: I believe my questions were set back in 2007 when I purchased my first ipod nano, since then I have used this same itunes account for my own ipod touch and ipad 2 and my girlfriends iphone 1st generation. I have never run into a problem regarding my questions before on any of these devices

Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop.
In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well.
The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
accounts are installed and working properly.
I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
on my laptop.
The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
Can you help?

Hello ronontheright,
Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
Please take a look at the following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.
Best regards,
Fangzhou CHEN
