Transferring apps from 1 library to another

My wife & I currently have both our iphone 4 sync'd to the same library. This however means that all our apps & podcasts are shared also. I have created seperate libraries to try and resolve this, but cant figure out how to transfer the apps / podcasts from the original library into the relevant new library.
Can anyone help?
thanks

What do you mean? You bought the app using a different iTunes account? I think there is no remedy for that.

How do I stop itunes from transferring apps from my ipad or iphone to my pc ?

How do I stop iTunes from transferring apps from my iPad or iPhone to my PC ? I have App sync turn off and I have add files to library turned off. Yet every time
I sync iTunes transfers all my apps to my PC. I have 20-30 gig of apps on each. A lot of them are 1gig each and it takes for ever to sync , plus I don't want 100 gig of apps just sitting on my hard drive for no reason. Any app I ever want is always available in the cloud so what's the point of having them on my PC in the 1st place?

I'm pretty sure that the space is used up on your computer's hardrive.
Anyway my solution to this nuisance of apps/itunes transfer was to allow itunes to download the apps from my phone...
...First of all I had tried to uncheck a few boxes in itunes a) automatically sync when device is connected (in the summary section) b) prevent devices from syncing (edit>preferences>devices) and c) Automatically sync new apps (apps section of device)
HOWEVER, when I would click sync in any section, apps tried to transfer to itunes from my iphone.
So after all my apps went on my computer (approx. 9 GB), I checked the boxes back, disconnected my device and deleted all the apps from itunes and my computer simultaneously (by clicking del/move to recycle bin).
Now when I connect my iphone it does it's backup/sync thing automatically ...but no apps try to transfer
Note: apps from your library cannot be set to sync with your device
I can now also click sync in any section and no apps transfer.
(This problem started when I downloaded an app from itunes rather than my device and I later transfered the app to my device. My apps section in itunes is completely empty now and no apps appear in windows explorer either)
the only thing I am unsure of now is; what's going to happen if I purchase an app from itunes on my pc again ...I'm guessing I'll have to repeat the process (might want to avoid that)

Trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes.

I'm having trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes. My computer is authorized, but I get - Some of the purchased items on the (user name) ipad could not be transfered to your itunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.

If those apps were purchased with a different Apple ID and iTunes account that would be a reason why you get that message.

How do i recovery the apps to my phone after transferring apps from my iphone?

how do i recovery the apps to my phone after transferring apps from my iphone?

If you've download apps from the iTunes app store then you can only install them on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, you can't use them on a computer (PC or Mac)

HT1977 why i can't sync my app from library to my device?

why i can't sync my app from library to my device? i just see the app will install but not install in my device. can anyone show me how to install apps in newest Itunes?

When you reinstalled iTunes, did you remove and reinstall by the exact steps listed here? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
You will need to do it that way. That would be the only thing I can think of that would be stopping the transfer of purchases. If you go into Task Manager and Services, is the Apple Mobile Device Service running? If you go into Device manager when the phone is connected, do you see the Apple Device Driver listed under USB devices? Have you tried disconnecting the phone and then rebooting the computer, then doing a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots and the computer reboots, connect them again?

Transferring apps from Iphone 3Gs to PC so i can upgrade

I have tried everything i can find to transfer my apps from my iphone 3GS to itunes on my PC so i can upgrade the phone but nothing works..Right click on phone on left side of screen, click transfer purchases and it only transfers 1 app which was a free app....I have synced the phone/ back up a couple times in the past couple weeks but it takes 4-6 hours to complete and still only shows 1 app in my itunes library...I dont have that much on the phone..150 apps....50-60 pictures and address book...does it always take this long ? Help.....Jay

Just FYI, when I did this, I had to manually select all the Apps to reinstall after restoring the iPhone4 with my iPhone 3GS backup. Most of the data for those apps transferred over with possibly one exception - a game (Nanosaur 2) in which my save games all disappeared.
I guess what I'm curious to know is, when you restore from a backup, shouldn't the Apps automatically restore and be in their previous positions? I had to go back and manually rearrange all my Apps which took quite a bit of time.

Transfering apps from a personal dev account to an enterprise account

Has anyone had an experience with the subject?
My friend initially created several iPhone and iPad apps under his personal dev account and is ready to move on... He is thinking of registering a company and creating an enterprise account but is concerned with how he will be able to transfer all the apps... How long that would take, will the apps lose their ratings, will he still be able to notify existing users with the new versions, etc.... Should he transfer individual apps or there is an option of transferring the entire account...
Please share your experience or point me to a right source... My friend is apparently shy to ask himself, but I figured that pretty soon I will be facing the same question myself....
Thanks everyone for your responses

I will tell you my experience with this.
I'm doing some work for a stealth statup company.
They registered everyting under the company name.
They wanted to change the company name and re-release the app under a new name.
In effect, they had to "start over".
New developer account, new iTunes Connections accounts, etc.
It seems there is no "easy" way for an entity to simply change it's name.
So, for your friend, I would say, leave things already in the app store in his name.
Release new versions under the new name.
This might not work easily, as he may have to abandon / remove the old apps from the app store in order to release the app with the same name in the app store under a different company/entity name. Or maybe not.
I'd advise him to just call Apple Developer Support and ask....
"Can I re-release my current apps as a new version with the same name using a different compay name?"
The details being the app bundle will be different, com.old.myapp vs. com.new.myapp, as well.
The real answer will be if Apple allows the name-space collision from two entities.
In our case, our app and company name were the same, and when the company name changed, they made them separate, and also picked a new name for the app taking the product in a new marketing direction.
In your friend's case he wants to keep his popularity and ratings, and I don't know how Apple handles that part.
The question is more, can I transfer the ownership of my app to another entity without losing it's reatings?

Get the ID of a dynamically created symbol from library, INSIDE another symbol.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the id from a dynamic created symbol from library.
When dynamically creating the symbol directly on the stage (or composition level), there's no problem.
But I just can't get it to work when creating the symbol inside another symbol.
Below some examples using both "getChildSymbols()" and "aSymbolInstances"
// USING "getChildSymbols()" /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ON THE STAGE
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols();
console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id')); // ok eid_1391853893203
// INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
var symbolChildren = sym.getSymbol("holder").getChildSymbols(); // Am i using this wrong maybe?
console.log(symbolChildren.length) // returns 0 so can't get no ID either
// USING "aSymbolInstances"" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ON THE STAGE
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
console.log(sym.aSymbolInstances[0]); // ok (i guess) x.fn.x.init[1] 0: div#eid_1391854141436
// INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
console.log(sym.getSymbol("holder").aSymbolInstances[0]); // Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = element
In this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5691824 is written: "mySym.aSymbolInstances will give you an array with all "names" when you create symbols"
Could it be this only works on the stage/ composition level only and not inside a symbol?
The following methods to achieve the same are indeed possible, but i simply DON'T want to use them in this case:
1) Storing a reference of the created symbol in an array and call it later by index.
2) Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards.
I can't believe this isn't possible. I am probably missing something here.
Forgive me I am a newbie using Adobe Edge!
I really hope someone can help me out here.
Anyway, thnx in advance people!
Kind Regards,
Lester.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response!
True this is also a possibility. But this method is almost the same of "Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards".
In this way (correct me if i'm wrong) you have to give it an unique ID yourself. In a (very) big project this isn't the most practical way.
Although I know it is possible.
Now when Edge creates a symbol dynamically on the Stage (or composition level) or inside another symbol it always gives the symbol an ID like "eid_1391853893203".
I want to reuse this (unique) ID given by Edge after creation.
If created on the stage directly you can get this ID very easy. Like this;
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols();
console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id')); // ok eid_1391853893203
I want to do exactly the same when created INSIDE another symbol.
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
Now how can I accomplish this? How can I get the Id of a dynamically created symbol INSIDE another symbol instead of created directly on the stage?
This is what i'm after.
Thnx in advance!

Transferring apps from iphone 4 to iphone5

I have a new iPhone5 & successfully transferred contacts & other data successfully fro my old iPhone4, but haven't been able to transfer the apps from my old iPhone. I transferred purchased apps to my Mac, but my iPhone5 isn't compatible with the version of iTunes I have, it indicates I need version 10.7, but my Mac has OS X 10.5.8 which isn't compatible with version 10.7. I'd really like to be able to manually sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes, but haven't found a way to download iTunes version 10.7 since I need version OS X 10.6.8 or later.

Are you on wifi? You can always sync with your PC if the apps are local and that would speed it up dramatically.

Trouble authorizing computer in iTunes and transferring apps from iPod

Every time I select "Transfer Purchases from iPod" from the File menu, it tells me I can't because my MacBook isn't authorized for the iTunes store. I only have one other computer authorized - my desktop - and I've deauthorized and reauthorized the laptop several times, supposedly successfully, but I still can't transfer my apps from the iPod.
I know that I can re-download apps to the laptop that I've previously purchased on the desktop or the iPod, but not only would that take a fair bit of time that I'd rather not spend (I have many pages of apps), but the couple times that I've tried it, I don't get the dialog box (offering to let me re-download for free the same apps that I've already bought) that it shows in the thread I found about the procedure.
So what do I do now?
TIA.

Please Help! Transfering Apps from Computer.

I just bought Lady GaGa Tap Tap Revenge! on my computer and I need to transfer it on my laptop but it keeps saying no! How can I do this???
Thanks

I don't really understand your question... You purchased the app on your computer and it won't transfer to your laptop or your ipod? If it won't transfer to your ipod and you don't know why first sync your ipod and then when it appears in itunes click the icon. Then choose the applications tab and under that tab you should be able to synchronize all your apps from your computer to your ipod or one that you choose.

Transferring apps from one itunes account to another

I bought the original IPad from a family member, so it was set up with there ITunes account and all of the apps that are on it. I would like to transfer everything that is currently on the IPad over to my computer with my ITunes account, without having to reset the IPad and purchase all of the apps all over again. I need to manage my IPad through my computer and ITunes account, not the one it was originally set up under.
I have managed to do this with an IPod, so I can imagine it would be possible with an IPad.

It's not possible to transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another
Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update
