Syncing iPad-loaded Apps Onto iTunes; Loading Them to iPhone

Problem: I'd like to move apps purchased on the iPad to iTunes, so that I can then load those (iPhone) apps onto the iPhone.
Syncing the iPad to the iTunes computer doesn't seem to do it.
ETA: iTunes is on a PC.
Ideas?
ETA Answer: In iTunes, right clicking on the iPad device, select "Transfer Purchases." That did the trick.

If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with your iPad, the app should be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPad with iTunes after doing so.
If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, with your iPad selected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. After this, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
After transferring the apps to your iTunes library, the apps will be available under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer selected apps to your iPhone. Select the apps you want installed on your iPhone followed by a sync.

Awesomeness!
Search your hard drive for a file containing ITL in it. That is the file extension for the itunes database file. You might need to set Win Explorer options to show NOT hide file extensions.
Once you are sure you know where that file is, press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes. Keep holding the shift key until you see a question about choosing or creating a library. Choose the ITL file you found during your search.
Is this on a Vaio?

Since I have iCloud enabled and have backed up to the "cloud," can I delete all apps from iTunes without them being deleted from my iPod?

Ok, so I have iCoud enabled on my iPod Touch, and I want to delete all my apps from iTunes without them deleting from my iPod, but iTunes says this:
Please tell me if this is possible. Thanks!
P.S.- When I get my iPhone next month, will all apps and "stuff" be there if I delete all the apps from iTunes and I turn off atomatic downloads to?

No. The iCloud storage feature is only for mobile devices. If you need more space get an external HD formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto Library to it. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library on the EHD to open. Once you've confirmed that the library is OK and working properly you can delete the library from your boot driver.
However, if you don't have a backup strategy in place you should consider doing so as soon as possible. A second EHD that's about 2X the size of your boot and first EHD is needed so you can use Time Machine to make hourly backups. Remember there's only 2 type of hard drives: 1 - those that have crashed and 2 - those that will.

You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

When will you make an IPad YouTube app. There is one for iPhone and when you use it for the iPad the quality is bad since you have to zoom in. Please fix

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

New laptop, old iPod Touch, how do I get apps onto iTunes?

Hi. I have recently bought a new laptop, and want to sync my apps in iTunes to my 9 month Touch, but when I select Sync, iTunes tells me; "+All existing applications and their data on the iPod <my ipod> will be replaced with applications from this iTunes library+".
As this is a new iTunes install, won't it completely wipe all my apps? Short of hunting down all my apps in iTunes and re-purchasing them, how do I get to a point where I can sync apps?

Don't sync your iPod until you have your purchases back onto the computer and your restored your library or you will lose the contents from it. iTunes will let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can also be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store

What does it mean "Will Install" when I tried to install/sync an iOS app in iTunes and how long is the wait until the app is installed/Sync on my iOS device

I am testing an iOS app developed by my team. When I tried to update the new version, I kept receiving the "Will Install" status. What do I have to do to get it installed as soon as I sync the device? If I have to wait for whatever reasons, how long do I have to wait for the status to change. I am using iTunes 11.0.1 (12). Thanks

I found that I had "restrictions" turned on under general settings. Turned them off, rebooted the iPad and it was able to install apps from iTunes.
Hope this helps you.

How to stop ipad copying apps onto computer?

Hi.
I downloaded an apps on itunes on my laptop. I then connected my ipad2 onto it in order to copy the app i downloaded onto the device. However, it keeps on copying all the apps on my ipad onto my copmuter. Because I do not have enough disk space in my harddrive to store all the apps, so how can I copy the app I downloaded onto the ipad without having to copy all of the apps from it into the haddrive??? please help
thx

in iTunes with your iPad connected select your device then navigate to the Apps tab at the top and selecet only the apps you want to sync with your iPad.
Also, uncheck the box to automatically sync new apps.
That should do it.

Syncing iPad to iPod from iTunes on external hard drive

I had all my music stored on my laptop but was running out of space so I transferred it all to an external hard drive. That's when everything went pear shaped! Tried to sync it all but messed it up. Now I have all songs on iPad, but it won't sync new stuff to iPod plus there is only new songs ( recently purchased ) on iTunes. Would love to know how to sync up iPad to iPod and iTunes so it all matches. Have tried the iTunes info icon but still can't get it to sync. Has anybody had problems with external hard drives when it comes to syncing iTunes?
Thanks in advance
Penny

If your library is full of broken links then try fixing them with my FindTracks script, otherwise see this post by forum regular Zevoneer for options on transferring files from the iPad to your computer.
Alternatively, if your iTunes database is missing files that should be in it then perhaps there is a previous iTunes library file kicking around your internal drive somewhere that could be restored and reconnected to your media. It all depends on exactly what you did to start with. Switching to a new database tends to get things confused as iTunes will want to wipe the device and start over.

How come when you had updated & installed ios6 to your ipad the apps store & itunes is not available in the Philippines.......please consider Filipino ipad & iphone users who have been downloading latest apps from store everyday...need your PROMPT ACTION

Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

Syncing a single app onto itouch 3.1.3

i recently downloaded an app off of a forum site, and i tried to sync the app onto my itouch, but it said it couldn't complete the sync, and it gave me an error message. any help?

You should only always download apps from the iTunes store. Unless the link redirected you to the store; that would be a different story.
