Sharing apps from my iPhone with my iPad

Just got an iPad2, and currently have an iPhone.  Can I share purchased apps across both devices, or do I have to purchase them for each device?  If I can share, how do I do this?

There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - all music, movies, tv shows, books, etc. and 3rd party apps.
Under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, select Sync Apps and the apps you want installed on your iPad below followed by a sync.

    Rob is correct. The Download will be for the latest supported version.  If the iPad cannot support the newer version it will offer to download the most recent compatible version.

    Download then again in the App Store on the iPad. You will not have to pay for them again as long as you use the same Apple ID.
    Bear in mind that unless your iPhone apps are Universal apps, they will appear in their native iPhone size (half size) on the iPad. You will be able to enlarge them to fill the screen but that will double the size of the pixels which reduces resolution, however, they will still work.
    You could also transfer them into iTunes and sync them to the iPad, but if you synced with iTunes on a regular basis, I assume that would be something that you would or should already know.

  • Since the software upgrade connecting to hotspot from my iphone with my ipad is not working.

    Since the software upgrade , I cannot connect my ipad2 to my iphone 4s via the phones hotspot.  Regular wifi is ok.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I tried resetting the network settings on the ipad, but it didn't help.  The ipad sees the hotspot, but doesn't connect.  My phone service is with Verizon.

    I think I solved the problem.  I did a network reset on both the ipad and iphone.  So far so good.

  • How do i get my apps from my iphone to my ipad

    how do i get my apps downloaded to my iphone onto my ipad

    HELLO Babs3977,
                                  After you sign in with your apple i-tunes account on all devices you have to
    1.) Connect your I-phone, i-pad, i-pod to your computer
    2.) PERFORM A SYNC for each device. Once syncronized all devices should have the same apps and downloads on each device. Hope this helps. For hel anytime see post in my new forum at Reggie's Best and we will help you within 24 hours of posting your question. Hope this helps

  • If I already purchased apps from my iPhone with same account, where are they?

    I have purchased many apps in the last year or two with my iphone using apple apps but when I try to find those apps for downloading to my macbook air, they're not there. It makes it seem as if I need to repurchase them again using the same account. Is there something I need to do to find them?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You need to purchase them, because iOS and OS X are different and requires different apps

  • How can I sync my Contcts list from my iPhone with my iPad?  My contacts are my life, and I usually keep my phone the most up-to-date. I need both to be the same.

    How can I sync the Contacts list on my iPhone 5 to my iPad? 
    As a businessman, my Contacts are my life, as well as containing a lot of personal information. I usually keep my phone
    up-to-date, only taking my pad on trips, but it's essential that I have both the same.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.
    Note: your contacts should be in computer Outlook (Windows) or Contacts (Mac) application.
    If you have iCloud configured in iPhone, do the same for iPad.
    Setttings > iCloud >
         Account: your Apple ID
         Contacts: ON
         Documents & Data: ON

  • TS4006 How do I remotely unlock an iPad using this app from my iPhone once the user has connected to WiFi?

    How do I remotely unlock an iPad using the Find My Phone app from my iPhone once the iPad is connect to WiFi?

    I'm not sure about the apps, but to prevent theft, you'll also need to disable the power button and the ability to restore the ipad. You might also want to superglue in your Sim card because if they remove that, it wont be tracked unless they connect to WiFi.
    Also, I'm not so sure it is an app on the iPad. I think it is built into the mail, calendar and contacts options if you have a Mobile me account.  http://www.apple.com/ipad/find-my-ipad-setup/

    How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

    In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app.   Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.

    You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

  • I just bought an ipad. How do I get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone to my ipad?

    I just purchased an iPad 2. I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4s). I was told that I could get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone onto my ipad. I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

  • How to avoid apps from my iPhone installed on my iPad?

    I just bought an iPad 32Gb Wi-Fi, and as soon as I activated it I got all the apps from my iPhone installed on it, including the ones that don't work on the iPad.
    I deleted them from the iPad, but everytime I sync it with my iTunes I get them back again.
    Is there a recommended way to sync both an iPhone and a iPad using the same Mac? Or how do you handle that scenario?
    Thank you
    Simone

    Hi-
    Manually managing the apps will allow you to select which you wish to install/sync.

    Using the Applications Tab in the iPad iTunes window will allow you to select which apps are installed.

  • Does anyone know how to unbind an app (Imob 2) from a device? I am trying to transfer my account from my iphone to my ipad and no matter how many times I try erasing all information, restoring through itunes...nothing works.

    I am trying to switch my imob account from my iphone to my ipad and when I try to transfer, the ipad says that i cannot transfer another imob account to it because I bound the imob account to the device that is already on the ipad. This is driving me crazy. Every time I try to permanently delete the imob app from the ipad and download a new one, it opens to my existing app that I keep deleting. I wiped the ipad clean numerous times. I even tried using a different apple id to download it. Nothing it working. Why can't I get rid of the information stored in the app that is on the ipad? It's creepy how it won't go away. So if I sold the ipad and someone else tried to download their own game, they would not be able to because my original information that is saved on the game would keep coming up. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you tried contactint the app's developer?
