Transfer Ipad apps on Iphone: do I need to buy again ?

Hi
I have bought a few apps on my Ipad. I want to transfer them on my Iphone 3 (they are mainly flash cards for my son). I have put them on Itunes, so far so good, but they won't transfer to my Iphone. They are Ipad apps, I now they certainly wouldn't fit on my Iphone, so my question is: do I need to buy them again if I want to put them on the Iphone ? It seems unfair to pay twice for the same thing...
thanks for your help

I assume that you've checked that they are iPad only, and its not just that you havn't updated the iPhone to have the appropriate iOS version for them.
If they are iPad specific apps then they won't go on the iPhone or iPod, and, yes, you probably will need to pay for them again if you want them on the iPhone.

    The iPhone and the Mac do not run on the same operating system. IPhone apps do not run on a Mac. Mac apps do not run iPhone. If the developer has created an app for both the iPhone and the Mac they almost always sell them separately in the respective app stores.

  • My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this?

    My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

    I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

    Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
    To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
    Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
    Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
    If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.

    No. Apps are associated with Apple ID with which they were purchased.

  • How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    If it's an app made only for iPad, you can't.  Some developers make apps which will work on both devices (the + sign in the download button indicates).  Some apps are made specifically for one device, and there may be separate versions for each device (so you have to pay twice!).  You can install an iPhone-only app on an iPad (but it usually doesnt look great), but you cannot put a phone-only app on an iPad.

  • If i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

    if i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

    It depends on how the developer chooses to release the new version. If they release it only as an update to the existing app in the iTunes Store then no, you won't have to buy it again. If they release it as a new app - usually they'll change the name slightly - then you will have to buy it again.

    Welcome to the Apple DIscussions.
    The licence is for one machine only, so, yes you will need to either purchase another copy, or a family licence.

  • How do I get Itunes to separate my husbands device from mine? We have seperate accounts but when I want to transfer my apps from iphone to itunes (after logging in) itunes lists transfer device as my husbands

    I am getting a new iphone so I need to backup my apps to itune.
    Then after purchase I will load them on to iphone5
    My husband has a separate iphone separate Itunes/app accounts
    I upgraded itunes. Then logged on to my account. But when I start to file/devices to transfer - it lists his account not mine.
    Somehow itunes is associating my window log in with him and it lists our apps together (his/mine) under the library section/apps. I think I will end up with his apps and mine then he will end up with the same.
    Any ideas how to get the device transfer to list my account?

    Best option is to make each a user on the computer then it work as it should otherwise you  need to change appleid in itunes between phones being connected

  • HT4082 Way to put Ipad apps on Iphone/Ipod

    Hello everybody: Does anyone know a way that works to put Ipad apps on Ipod 3? I desperetly want to play chocabo panic  It's the only game that I serusly want that won't work on my Ipod. I have know one to play with anyway. Any help would be apreated.

    Sorry jenmoon, but that app appears to only be made to work on the iPad. Many apps (as you probably already know) have been designed by the developers to work on all iOS devices. Apparently this one has not.
    Here is a link to the developer's site. Perhaps you can provide feedback to them via this site:
