Transferring apps to new iPad?

Does anyone know if you can transfer your apps to the new iPad 2 from your iPad 1? They are downloaded on my computer so I don't see why not, but making sure before I buy the new iPad.

Make sure you have a current backup of your 1st gen iPad in iTunes. When you get your new iPad, do a Restore to the new iPad and most info installs to the new iPad. You may have to sync a few apps. Mine was pretty seamless in the process and my contacts copied over just fine (I didn't have any notes, so I can't speak to that).
The only thing - if I recall correctly - that does not transfer over is your passwords; you will have to enter them again - which makes sense for security reasons.

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)

Transferring to a new ipad

i have a lot of saved documents on my existing ipad and I want to buy a new one. Will all the documents I have saved on this ipad be transferred to the new ipad when I restore my last backup?
thank you

I don't use automatic backup or sync but keep all my pdf files in a folder on my computer. iTunes then allows me to transfer all of them from the computer to the ipad, or the other way round.
I think you click on Apps - Adobe reader, and at the bottom, there is an Add button. Then you navigate to your folder on the computer and select all the pdf files.
The old version crashes whenever it has transferred 40-50 files, but the new version does not and can transfer all my >1000 pdf files in one go in a few minutes. If you already have some files on the ipad, it asks you to choose to either skip or overwrite files with the same names.
You can also drag the files from the ipad to the folder on the computer, I think.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have been using iCloud. Did you have "sync books" selected?

TS1702 My hbo go app from new iPad .. Then after full reformat of device I now can't download hbo go app. What's up

My hbo go app from new iPad .. Then after full reformat of device I now can't download hbo go app. What's up?

Thanks for helping
Hbo go isn't currently installed. It dissapeared from iPad home screens but not from settings. Waited for update. When it finally came I saw hbo icon during update then when it finished the update it dissapeared again.
Saw it in my apps on my computer. Tried to sync it back. No luck.. Reformatted device .. Tried to download hbo go. The install button in the app store won't highlight. I notice max go app won't highlight either. or photon flash browser too. Weird stuff. Does it not work on new iPad ?

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.

If apps are still showing the price: sign out>reboot>and sign in again

We are trying to load apps on new iPad and it is taking forever. What can we do?

We are trying to load apps on new iPad we just bought and it is extremely slow. What can we do to resolve?

As they are loading, presumably you can see circles with a bar in the middle indicating progress (or lack thereof).
My suggestion is to pause all but one app by clicking the bar in the middle of each app you are going to pause.
Then let the one app complete loading. The progress will be shown by the circle getting bold and eventually the entire circle will be bold and will change to saying "Open".
Then repeat this process to load the next app, etc.

Transferring content from apps to new ipad

Sorry if this is the wrong section
I jus bought a new ipad, and i was jus wondering hw to transfer those apps content from old ipad to the new ones.
The contents I was referring to was stuffs like games histories, such as the levels and achievements. (i got a game called bubble mania, and i got quite far in it, i dont wanna redo it all over again. Hahas)
As well as contents in an apps called the "ppstream". (i kinda downloaded 10+ gigabytes of movies in it, so redownloading it is quite a hassle)
I used the backup using itunes, and it does reinstalled all those apps i used, but all the apps are empty so its kinda useless.
Did i did the wrong backup? or are they any more extra steps that needed to be done?
is there any way to make a complete copy of the ipad or clone it to the new ipad?
Thanks in advance

You have to have a current backup of the old iPad before you restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad. Read this and see if it becomes clearer to you. You should probably transfer purchases as well so that all of your bases are covered.

Transfer purchases from the old iPad, backup the old iPad and sync one last time. Then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes.

Restoring Only Some of my Apps to New iPad

Getting a new ipad air today and want it to be "clean" but I do want many of the apps and data for those apps from my iPad 2 backup. Is there a way to only restore selected apps or does a restore just restore everything?
Thanks!

Hi Jacki!
If you are restoring from a backup, then all of the information in that backup will be placed onto the device. The information about what is contained in an iOS backup can be found in this article:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
My suggestion would be to clean up your iPad 2 first, then create a backup, then restore the new iPad Air from that backup. More information on backups can be found here:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

How to transfer apps to new iPad ios 8.1from old ipad

BOuchy a

The following has information on transferring to a new device: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
As noted in that you can sync using iTunes to transfer apps.
If you only want the apps and don't want to sync you can open the App Store app, tap on Purchased at the bottom, and download previously purchased apps.

Cannot install "iTunes Movie Trailers App" on new iPad

Hello all,
I just got the new iPad (3rd Gen.).
I am trying to install the iTunes Movie Trailer App (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-movie-trailers/id471966214?mt=8)
For some reason, after clicking the install icon, I get an error Pop-up screen that says "Action could not be completed".
I have installed plenty of other Apps with no issues at all.
Is this App only for U.S. users (I am from Canada)?
I suspect it is something like this because my son also cannot install this App on his iPod touch.
Any ideas?
Christian

I am actually seing it in Canada.
Nevertheless, it should be able to say "Not available in your region" before I even get the possibility to download.
Like for example, if I go on the MTV website, I cannot view their videos, they give a proper message.
For sure they would be able to do the same in a more user-friendly message.
Another good example, go see this App for the BBC, first thing they say: Exclusive to the UK.

Simple, one line says it all.

Photoshop like app for new iPad...

I'm needing a bit of help here from all you guru's of the iPad world..I'm a iPad newby crossover from the Xoom crowd and am looking for the best iPad app that will let me do the same basic functions that my Photoshop CS5 I use on my PC does...import a picture or photo in and resize it or put a text layer in on it, or create a new blank layer and add color to it with a paint bucket tool and add some text to it or layer in a picture or photo into the work. How about some graduants to the layer. I do a lot of custom logo, avatars, and game sigs work and my CS5 for my PC works super for my work...is there such an app out there for my new iPad like that???

Really appreciate all your help here guys but as I said, I've been doing a ton of research and have found what I need. FYI...PhotoForge2, Photogene, Signiture iPad, and the new Photoshop Touch all will add text to anything you want but all but the Photoshop Touch have various limited applications they can perform or accomplish.
After trying all of these and an FYI for Ralph, the last program I picked up, the new version of Photoshop Touch, does it all and darn near all the important things needed that the CS5 on my desktop does. Truly an amazing program for an iPad format. I was very pleasantly surprised and was well worth the $10 bucks it cost me. A thumbs up for James with his suggestion and it was perfect! Thanks again guys!
