Share apps between devices

when I buy an app in the Ipad it is supposed to show up in my Iphone. But i doesent. i have enabled I cloud and in the Appstore I have enabled "share apps between devices".

Ther are many apps that are built just for the iPad only. You may want to chech to see if those apps you have state that they are designed for iPhone and iPad. Many times, you have to buy a version for each device.

Syncing apps between devices

I'm having difficulty syncing some apps between devices so that data is saved. I recently purchased an iPad mini for my daughter and want her to have some of her existing game apps to play, and then delete from my iPad. Anyone encountered the same, or any solutions?

I'm having the same problem with apps not syncing between my iPhone 5s and iPad Air. I made sure under settings > iTunes & Apps Store that automatic Download is on and selected for Music, Apps, Books, and Updates. Have you gotten a resolution to that issue?

How can i share apps between iphone

how can i share apps between iphones?

If they are syncing to the same iTunes library you can just sync them to the other phone using iTunes. (However, if the other phone has been syncing to a different computer/iTunes library don't do this or you will create problems as iTunes will delete all iTunes media off the phone and replace it with the media in the new library when you sync.)

HT4436 iCloud for app between devices

how to i turn off compatibility of an app between devices? under iCloud settings, I turned off "notes", but it's still connected between my mac and iPhone. for example, when I edit/delete a note on my phone, it edits/deletes the note on my mac… Does anyone know how to turn it off?

If you turned of Notes in Settings>iCloud and changes to your notes on your phone still appear on your Mac, you must be syncing notes with another provider rather than iCloud. Open the Notes app and tap Accounts at the top. Tap each account listed to see what account your notes belong to (iCloud only syncs notes that belong to the iCloud account; the iCloud account won't be listed if you turned off Notes in Settings>iCloud).
If you notes belong to another account, for example a Gmail account, you would need to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap the Account, then turn off Notes syncing with the account in order to stop syncing with your Mac.

Can I share apps between my iPad and husband's ipod touch

I have owned an iPad 2 for a couple of months now and am gifting my hsuband with an iPod touch for our upcoming anniversary. Will we be able to share the apps purchased for the iPad, i.e. Angry Birds, on the iPod or will it need to be purchased again?

Dear plan,
I now have two iPads, which I also (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's, but I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
Thanks!

Sharing apps between devices

How can you share paid apps between my devices?

If both devices are logged In with the same iTunes account you will not have to pay a second time. Browse to the app you already paid for in the App Store. You will see there is no price on it,meaning you can download again for free.
To automatically have apps download on both devices when you install to one device, go to settings - iTunes and app stores - and turn on the switch for apps. Do that on both devices and whenever you install on one, the other one will get the app too.

That happens because in Settings>iTunes & App Store you have Apps turned on under Automatic Downloads. If you don't want this, turn this off. This can be configured on your iPad too.

That's what iTunes is for. Download purchased apps and music to your iTunes library (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), and import music from your CDs to your library, then sync the iPad and iPhone with iTunes to transfer what you want. You can also configure Automatic Downloads on your Mac by going to iTunes>Preferences>Store.

How to share apps between 2 iPod Touch

I want to share apps with my daughter - is this possible? If so, how can this be done.

Apps can only be shared on devices using the same iTunes account. So, in order to use the same apps on the other device, you'll have to sync it logged in with your account in iTunes.
Set it up as desired and sync. iTunes will remember the settings for each device.

Can I share Apps between Macs on the same Home Network?

I tried to do this today by trying to import an App that my wife bought for her Mac. the system went as far as importing the app, but then when I went to try and open it the machine told me that I didn't have the authorization permissions to use the app on my machine.
what I'm wondering is whether that message has to do with the security settings on our network or computers or whether it is coming from the Mac App Store itself. Does anybody know? Is it possible, in the first place, to share Mac Store apps between computers with different user IDs on the same homw network?

Funny thing was I did all that before trying to 'share' said app. That was why I was befuddled by the error message. I'm still not sure why I got it. Second time thru I added the Mac App Store to 'allowing incomming connections' under security preferences, then tried it again and it worked fine. I'm not convinced though that that had anything to do with why it worked on the second go round. I like to understand why these things work and why they sometimes don't, so I'm still a little mystified. But..... now it works. I installed Keynote, Pages, and a whole host of other apps off of my wife's Mac App Store page on my Mac with no hiccup at all. *Big Smile*
Thanks for the reference article.

HT3819 can you home share apps between iphones and ipads?

just wondering if we're able to share apps in the house hold. I have iphone 4, ios 5.1. My husband has iphone 4, ios 4.3, (still hasn't upgraded to 5....lazy.)
and we have an ipad2.
I'm just learning about the home sharing thing.....any help is appreciated!

Sounds like you got the answer you were looking for, but I wanted to add that when you have home sharing up on the computer and the home share account is activated, the home share account listed in iTunes has a little triangle to the right of the account name, and if you click that a submenu appears that lists the apps videos etc. on the other account you then can add those to your other devices/computers the same way you add songs, just drag them into your iTunes library listed at the top of the column.
I just wanted to add this to this thread since I found that it clears things up for other people searching for an answer.

Can you share apps between accounts when using the same PC

My wife and I have always shared my account. made it easy to purchase and share. Howeever, with iCloud etc its becoming increasingly obvious that seperate accounts might be needed.
Can you share apps you purchase through differnt accounts when your using the same computer?
I now you can with music.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

How can I share apps between i pads?

I am new to the I Pad.....how can I share apps which with my other I Pad or I Pod?

The apps should be in itunes on your computer. Just sync them to the other ipad.
Ipad and ipod apps are not usually the same. there are a few universal apps - shown with a "+" sign. you can use universal apps on ipods/iphones/ipads.

How to share apps between 2 iPads with 2 different iTunes account in 2 computers?

I apologize if this has been answered somewhere but I've spent a lot of time researching this and none of the questions exactly match my situation.
Situation: I have my own iTunes account, Mac and iPad. My Mom has her own PC, iTunes account and I just bought her an iPad.
Issue: I would like to share some apps with her, without her having to buy them all over again. Since I'm paying for all her app purchases anyway, I would rather not pay for Angry Birds twice. She has her own apps and music that I have no interest in, so we cannot share 1 iTunes account.
This is what I was thinking of doing from all the research I've read:- Since I can authorize up to 5 computers or 10 computers & devices from 1 iTunes account, can my Mom sign out of her iTunes account on her PC, sign in to my iTunes account, download all the apps she wants from my account. Then, she signs out of my account, back into hers and sync her iPad.
Questions:
1) This (should) mean that her PC is now authorized with 2 iTunes accounts - hers and mine. In other words, she gets to keep all her content in her iPad plus whatever apps she wants from me. Will this work?
2) It wouldn't wipe out all her apps/music/photos etc during the sync, will it?
3) Will update to apps I purchased in my iTunes account automatically also update in her iPad? Or will the update only happen if she signs out of her account and in to mine again.
4) If someone knows of a better way of doing this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks much
Jeff

I do something similar myself and it works quite well, so here are my answers to your questions:
1. Her PC would be authorized on both iTunes accounts. So yes, the arrangment you mention here will work.
2. No, nothing will get wiped out from her iTunes library or iPad.
3. The App Store on her iPad will simply ask for your password in order to update apps from your account. In these cases the authentication alert view will show your Apple ID instead of hers
4. Maybe instead of using the Purchases tabs (since on the iPad there is an odd restriction to only one account and changing it renders the feature useless for 90 days, why is beyond me) use Home Sharing between the computers if possible, or put what she wants on a flash drive to take to her house.

Silly question, but can you share apps between family members (iPhone)?

My wife has just purchased an iPhone awaiting del.
Question
can you share your apps or not?
if she has her own apple id...
I would think not as I cannot seem to find anything to suggest it.
But thought i would ask the community.
and is there away around it??????????
thanks again

EDIT: It seems Apple have changed the AppStore Terms and Conditions since I last read them thoroughly.
Here's the relevant sections:
If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
(ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
(iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days.
(iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than 5 iTunes-authorized computers.
