Syncing apps on iPad

I have just purchased a second iPad. Can I sync previously purchased apps onto the new device?

iCloud obviates the need to restore from a backup.
You sign on with the same Apple ID used to purchase the apps and the apps will appear magically on the new iPad. It's quite fascinating to watch
If you use iCloud. I prefer to trust my purchase to my iTunes library and my Time Machine backup as well. It was not fascinating to watch, but I was concerned with results and my method worked flawlessly thank you.
Without any further info from the OP - I always recommend the iTunes way. And I believe that you have to be backing up to iCloud if you want to restore th iPad to the exact condition of the old iPad. I may be wrong about that, but if you don't backup to iCloud then I'm not sure that all of your app settings and data will be restored.
However, since I have no experience setting up a new iPad using iCloud only, I will defer to you knowledge.

Itunes 11.4 crashes when syncing apps to ipad / iphone

hey everyone, maybe the knowledge of the many may help, as I am rather at a loss right now!
after installing itunes 11.4, my trouble started! running 64 bit version on windows 8.1 - and latest iOS on both devices
all windows updates installed, all drivers for whatever is running on this machien are also up to date
connecting either ipad or iphone to computer, when itunes starts to sync, it gets to the point of "syncing apps to iPAD", it tries to add the first app - and crashes for good!
and yep, I went thru all the suggested thingies recommended on here:

windows pops up "itunes has stopped working" ... so I headed over to the Windows Event viewer, and for the moment, itunes crashes, I find these two entries in the log file - tried a search on here, google as well, to no avail:

Also using iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit. Crashes in the "syncing apps" stage. Happens on two different user accounts, one using an iPod Touch and one using an iPhone 5.
Clean uninstall/reinstall doesn't make any difference. Safe mode doesn't make any difference (no plug-ins installed).
Stack trace shows an unknown routine in iTunesMobileDevice.dll calling Microsoft C++ runtime routine _wstat32i64 with a null name parameter. This is definitely an iTunes 11.4 bug.

*int _stat(name, buf) - get file status info
*Purpose:
*      _stat obtains information about the file and stores it in the
*      structure pointed to by buf.
*      Note: We cannot directly use the file time stamps returned in the
*      WIN32_FIND_DATA structure. The values are supposedly in system time
*      and system time is ambiguously defined (it is UTC for Windows NT, local
*      time for Win32S and probably local time for Win32C). Therefore, these
*      values must be converted to local time before than can be used.
*Entry:
*      _TSCHAR *name -    pathname of given file
*      struct _stat *buffer - pointer to buffer to store info in
*Exit:
*      fills in structure pointed to by buffer
*      returns 0 if successful
*      returns -1 and sets errno if unsuccessful

Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

Current setup
- Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
- iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
- iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined. I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues. I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday. Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help. Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help. Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help. I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way. When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird? Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF. DING, DING, that was it. Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday. Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps. Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"! I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc.
I hope this helps many of you save several hours. I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes
8. Restart IPad
9. Connect IPad
10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x

I have synced apps from ipad to laptop. How dow I open the app and use it ?

iOS apps will only run under iOS. They cannot be opened, run or used on any other operating system, so they cannot be used on your laptop. The sync and transfer of purchases apps is merely to keep a copy of the app as backup on your laptop. While you can re-download any app you have from your iTunes/App Store account, that will only get your the latest release version. If you want to keep older or previous releases around as backup, then your only copies will be the ones you've copied over to your laptop for safekeeping.

How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

How to sync apps to iPad which is synced by another computer( not mine) without losing the last apps on the iPad

When you plug in the iPad iTunes will want to restore it/wipe it, so if you do not have the apps in your iTunes then you can copy the apps from the iPad to iTunes when plugged in by right clicking the iPad and selecting "transfer purchased..." which copies the purchases into iTunes.
However as iTunes will only sync to 1 iTunes, it will then want to wipe your iPad, so you need to make sure you have everything in your iTunes that you want back on your iPad.
This is to stop people taking their iOS device to a friends and then taking their paid songs/video/apps.
If you still do not have all of the apps in iTunes, you can either download the Apps via the iTunes store or try and find an application that lets you sync from the computer to the iPad and via versa in place of iTunes.

1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

I get the following message when I sync my iPad "iTunes cannot sync apps on iPad as apps cannot be determined" How do I fix this?

My iPad backs-up on my computer no problem but I get the following message and my apps will not sync. " iTunes cannot sync apps because the apps insatlled on the ipad could not be determined". Can anyone help me to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Did you try and choose Restart instead? You may need to uninstall and re-install it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

ITunes' "Sync Apps" and iPad do not match.

Trying to figure out what my options are here (and what might have happened to cause this)...
Currently, the "Sync Apps" box under the Apps tab in iTunes is unchecked. The image displayed of the iPad reflects the correct number and placement of apps on my iPad.
Checking "Sync Apps" changed to a much-reduced set of apps, with placement that is WAY off.
While I'm interested in what might have caused this, what I'm more interested in is figuring out how to get the two in sync. I can't run the risk of losing data on the iPad and, if possible, I'd prefer not to select apps one-by-one in iTunes (there are about 100 I need to sync). Any thoughts?

HT1296 why i cannot sync app to ipad

i recently updated my ipad 2 iOS to 6.1, and because I also changes my computer, my ipad will not sync and so it prompted me to format my ipad to factory setting, which i agreed after backing up all my contact information.
after that, I downloaded my ipad apps from itunes store on my computer hoping that it can be transferred to my ipad2 via USB. i dragged and drop the apps that I want to place in my ipad and press sync button on the lower right corner of itunes, but it didn't work. no apps were transferred after I pressed sync, even though I have successfully sync my music from my itunes to my ipad.
can anyone help?

Did you try selecting the apps to sync in the Apps Tab of iTunes rather than drag and drop?
This explains how to select apps to sync.
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Select all of the apps that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If running iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar at the top of the screen to enable the sidebar.

Failed to Install - when syncing app to ipad

Newly created app, after bringing it into itunes and syncing I can see it start to load on the ipad (icon appears with a loading bar) but then I get an error message "Itunes Sync "app name" failed to load". Tried re-compiling, removed icon, restarted ipad, no joy. No errors when compiling in Flash.
Other apps I've made will install, so I don't think it's the provisioning or certificate. Using "Quick publishing for device testing"
Any ideas of where I should look for problems? I'm new to ios development.
TIA

Solved: The App ID in the provisioning profile was off - it just had the name of the app not the "com.name.app", reapplying the profile fixed it.

I can´t sync apps from iPad Mini 2 (iOS 8.1) to iTunes 12 (Yosemite)

Hi guys!
I have an iPad Mini 2 with 8.1 OS and any apps buy with iPad Store. I want to sync it with iTunes 12.x but I can´t.
In iOS have check iTunes options sync and iTunes see my device. In iTunes don´t see Ipad apps and I don´t known who is the problem...
What´s the problem?

iTunes is a mess. On the sidebar on the left there is a "On My Device" section. It shows everything *except* the apps. Above that there is a "settings" section. That's where the apps are. That's a "setting"?
The device handling needs a complete overhaul. There are many many people who have had an iPad or iPhone for some time, but do not own a Mac. Based on climbing Mac sales, clearly some of those people are deciding "I like this iPhone so much I'm going to get a Mac!" So they get one and run into this train wreck.
Even now, with the iPad selected, I go to the View menu, select View Options..., and.....nothing. No window, no dialog, no indication of anything. Turns out that menu item is not applicable when a device is selected. Even with the original 128k Mac (my first Mac) they had this sorted out - dim the menu item when it's not applicable. Here we are 30 years later and they get it wrong.

Syncing apps to ipad

I have several apps which appear on Ipad home screen but have "Waiting" underneath the icon.
One is Google Maps.
When I try to sync it goes so far through the process then stops saying "Cancelling sync"
I've tried re-booting, removing 3rd party apps, re-installing them, all with the same result.
Updating to Mavericks has made no diffrence at all.
All these apps sync to my IPhone perfectly.

Hey Donald & Gillian McDonald!
I have an article here that can help you download those apps again from your list of past purchases on your Apple ID:

If you do not wish to download the apps, you may need to reset your iPad and attempt to sync again:

Can't sync apps to iPad.

My young daughter accidentally deleted a few apps from my iPad. I tried adding them back in by plugging it in to the computer and syncing to iTunes. The boxes next to the app are checked off like they should be on the iPad, but they aren't. I tried doing an iPad search for the specific apps and nothing showed up. I tried deleting the apps from iTunes and re-downloaded (they are free: onstage am, Netflix, photobucket) them, but it still won't work. Any ideas? Thanks!

Check restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. If you disabled installing of apps, that may be the issue. However, if your young daughter was able to delete the apps, maybe you don't use restrictions.
You can restrict deleting of apps as well and you might want to consider that.

How do you sync apps from iPad to macbook

I want to save my apps on the Mac, so that I can transfer them back to a newer iPAD

You can use the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes to copy them over to iTunes and have them ready to sync back to the new iPad.
