Transfer apps from ipad to new macbook

hi ,
i recently purchased a new macbook pro , when i connect my ipad i get a pop up saying that this ipad was synced with a different itunes library if i wanna sync with this library all my apps and data will be erased . i had also recently changed my country from india to U.S but that resulted in all my apps in the purchased menu to disappear . so if i erase all my data and apps in ipad i cant retrieve my apps back (i contacted the itunes support but they cant do anything to give me a redownload ) so MY QUESTION IS , is there a way to transfer all my apps to my macbook from my ipad
thanks
yours desmond

The best solution is to copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer (or the backup you keep against loss) to the new one.  That's how it is set up to be done.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Cannot transfer apps from iPad to new computer

    Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Air and have been trying to transfer the apps from my iPad 1 to it unsuccessfully. I've been struggling for over a week now and it started off well then stopped at an app, so I deleted it from the ipad, and then after that it would stop at the next app in the list. I've deleted like 11 apps so far from my iPad but it's not helping! I tried to transfer from iPad onto my old laptop (windows) and I realised it's stopping at the same app. I freed up space on the hard disk but still nothing. I've made sure that the itunes is authorised with the correct account and done everything. Rebooted the ipad and the computers.
    I can't upgrade to iOS5 untill I have all the apps installed. I'm making the Macbook my main computer and will eventually stop using the other laptop so am transferring everything over. I've done alot of searching on this forum and I haven't found a single solution to this issue. It's very very irritating. Could somebody please help me out here as I'm reaching the end of my tether.

    Try this, if you have not already.   Connect the pad to the computer.  In itunes on the mac, open the file menu on the top, and click on transfer purchases from......
    Then on the summary tab for your device, click on back up to this computer.
    If you have a bunch of pictures, open iphoto and bring those up while you are at it.
    Just to make sure everything is working, do a sync.
    Then, start the upgrade process.    You need to make sure your itunes version is 10.5, if you have not already done so.   Good luck.  The process can get frustrating when there are a lot of variables in play, such as wswitching computers.
    But once you get it right, the upgrade is fairly painless.

  • Abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes

    How to abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes when sync process? Every time when I sync my iPad Mini (iOS 8.1.3.) to iTunes (Mac OS, 12.0.1) every app is copied to iTunes media on my Mac. How avoid this unnecessary process?

    If you only delete the files from your Mac via Finder, but leave them listed in the Apps part of your iTunes library, then they will not be copied back from your iPad when you sync again (unless there is a newer version on it).
    If you do have to restore to a backup at any point in the future then to restore to an iTunes backup you will need the apps on your computer (a backup does not contain the actual apps, just their content/settings), and you may not be able to redownload them from the store (e.g. if the developer has removed them). An iCloud backup also doesn't contain your apps, it will redownload what it can from the store.

    How can I transfer apps from iPad 2 to iPad 3?

    Sync them via iTunes. All your apps should be backed up in your iTunes Library anyway.

  • How to transfer files from ipad to new computer

    I am trying to find out how to transfer files, (Music, Videos, Ect.) from my iPad to a another computer. I lost all my files on my computer and it won't let me recover my files from my iPad and save them on my new install.

    Honestly there is no real way unless these are items you have purchased from iTunes.  There is an option to Transfer Purchases from iPad but these are only going to be Apps, Music, Videos, etc. that you purchased and downloaded from the App Store/iTunes (you can also do the same by just opening up iTunes on your computer, going to iTunes Store, then going to Purchases, and downloading your purchases).
    If they are files that you haven't purchased through the App Store/iTunes then you won't be able to transfer those back to your computer.

  • I wanted to transfer apps from ipad to iphone, eg 1password.   Unfortunately, following the syncing process, the apps have been transferred but can't get into them and if I can, they don't have the contents in them, they're just the empty app!

    Can you advise how I can sync apps from ipad to iphone without losing data.

    Data does not sync between devices, so you can't do what you want to accomplish.
    If you want to sync 1Password, then install it on both devices and use it's iCloud sync feature.

  • HT1848 Trying to move files from iPad to new MacBook

    Hi.
    I'm trying to move my music etc from an iPad to my new Macbook. My previous computer (PC) died some time ago, so I have no backups of the info on my iPad. (Well, a backup from about a year ago!) I lost my iPad data once before, after doing an OS update on it, and it was only my own ideas and not AppleCare that helped me to sort the problem out. That said, I'm a bit nervous now that I don't have any backups of the data.
    OK, so I've tried following the steps in the article about this. I've also turned off the automatic sync function now because I'm scared it'll immediately sync to an empty iTunes. But even having done this, I'm still getting the 'sync in progress' message on my iPad. The Macbook isn't giving me the message to 'transfer', but asking if I want to update the OS on the iPad.
    So ... Is the iPad actually sync-ing if it says it's sync-ing or is it just in the initial stages of connection and hasn't done anything yet? Can I leave the devices connected?
    And if I just say no to the OS update, will I then get the message I'm supposed to get?
    *** Oh, and it was opening iPhoto too. I've now followed the instructions to stop this from opening. Would that have been why I was getting the 'sync in progress' message?

    You can use a third-party Mac application like Senuti to move music from your iPad to your iTunes library.
    It's normal for iPhoto to start when you connect an iPad with photos in its camera roll.

  • Transfer music from iPad to new iMac much too slow

    I want to transfer my music and videos, but not my apps, from my 128 GB iPad Air to my new iMac/Mavericks.
    I tried to do this by
    Connecting the iPad to a USB port on the iMac
    Initiating "Transfer Purchases" from iTunes
    Unfortunately, this is ridiculously slow, it would take hours I estimate. For one think I have about 40 gig of apps and that takes forever to transfer. I thought that iMac supported USB 3?
    Is there some reasonably quick way to do this? I can't sit around for 8 hours with my iPad hooked up to my Mac, I need it.

    There are a lot of complaints about this. The bottleneck seems to be the iPad Air.
    Syncing is slower on iPad Air

  • Transferring files from iPad to new Macbook pro

    My last computer broke so I invested in a Macbook pro. I have an iPad and I want to transfer files from the iPad to the Macbook, How do I do this?

    There are a number of ways to do it and some of that depends on the type of files that you want to transfer.
    You can email files from with the app in which they were created on the iPad. The app should have some sort of action icon at the top of the screen - or a share button - from which you can initiate the email. You can use DropBox or another cloud service. You can also use iOS file sharing with iTunes if you have an app on the iPad that supports file sharing.

  • How do i transfer files from pc to new macbook pro running yosemite

    I want to transfer documents, pictures and iTunes library from Dell pc running Windows Vista to new MacBook pro running Yosemite.

    Use the Migration Assistant, or move the files manually through file sharing or an external drive. If you've already set the MacBook Pro up and use the Migration Assistant, the files will be put into a different user account.
