Transferring apps

My son is using an old iPhone as an iPod and is using my account. He is getting an iPad for Christmas. And I want to get him his own account that is not linked to my credit card. Can we transfer some of the apps I have already purchased on my Apple ID to his new Apple ID?
Thx

You cannot transfer content to another id.
You can authorize a computer for more than one account and keep the content on that computer. From there, you can sync ot the idevices.

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)

HT1296 was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

One computer iTunes can support multiple Apple IDs. One iPod can also support multiple IDs. Don't do an "erase and sync." Simply add your Apple ID to the computer's iTunes and to the iPod. The only nuisance is app updating, especially if you do the updates from the computer, rather than from the iPod.

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)

Try turning automatic downloads off, then back on.

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.

TRANSFERRING APPS SYNCED FROM FORMER COMPUTER TO NEW COMPUTER?

I purchased an I-Pad 2 on 3/11 to replace the original I-Pad I bought last year. I synced it with my "former" I-Mac and transferred Apps I had purchased and synced to my "former" original I-Pad to my new I-Pad 2..
Then my "former" I-Mac crashed and burned and I bought a new I-Mac. Now I have all the original apps successfully installed on the new I-Pad 2, but can't sync them back to my "new" I-Mac. Is there any way I can do that?

Thanks for your input. I tried that, but since the apps on my current I-Pad 2 were synced with my former computer, when I try to transfer them back from the new ipad to the new computer I get a message that itunes can only be synced to one computer and that computer is now gone.
The apps remain on the ipad2 now, but I can't sync them back in to the new computer. I guess I'm out of luck?

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.

Transferring apps from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4.

I recently purchased an iPhone 4. I already have an iPhone 3GS which I still use. I wanted to download some of the apps onto the iP4 but it won't let me. Does anyone have any ideas or can't it be done? I have looked at similar posts but they aren't exactly what I am after. We have just purchased a new computer as well and I have got into the home sharing also. I have been able to transfer apps purchased on iP4 to the 3GS but not the other way around (i.e. any app I purchased over the last year or so on 3GS won't transfer to iP4).
When I go to sync the iP4, it will let me sync the contacts, music, podcasts etc but the app section is greyed out and can't click on anything. The picture of whats on the screen of iP4 is greyed out as well.

Please disregard everyone - it is now working and I have transferred the apps. Fyi, the only thing I did differently was to use the new phone's cord and not the cord I originally had for the 3GS. The original cord downloaded all the other things fine, so I am not sure why the cord supplied with the iP4 made a difference. Maybe the wiring is slightly different between the cord for the 3GS and iP4 - I am not sure.

Transferring Apps From iPhone To iPhone

if, for example, i bought an app on an itunes account, and I want my brother to get the same app (we are on the same credit card...?) can I transfer purchased apps?
I know that if I plug my phone into his computer he can choose file> transfer purchases, but that takes soo long, I want a way to select which app I want to be transfered...
sorry, Im sure its been asked b4
thanks

can I transfer purchased apps?
Not if you're using different iTunes Store accounts. The application's file can be located by control-clicking it in iTunes and showing it in the Finder, but it will still contain your iTunes Store account's username.

Xperia Z3C issue after transferring apps to SD card

Hi guys, hoping you can give me a little help here. I updated my Xperia Z3C to Lollipop the other day, which has been fine so far, but last night I moved a few apps over to my SD card to free up some of the internal memory in my phone (not using any third party app to do this). It seems as though something has gone wrong, as my phone restarted itself while one of the apps was transferring and now ALL of them are showing up as a blueprint icon with a little red SD card in the corner, and when you click it it says 'Application not found'. I assume this means the app data on the SD card is corrupt. As I have photos and music on my SD which still work I don't really want to format it, but not sure what to delete to make these icons disappear from my app menu! I'm not bothered about re-installing the apps, that's not a problem for me at all , but the main issue is opening the app menu and the first page and a half being nothing but these 'app not found' icons! I've attached an image. As they don't show up in the Apps list in settings anymore I can't get rid of them! Thanks for your time guys, hoping someone can advise! EDIT: Have just tried removing the SD card and restarting my phone, but these blueprint icons are still showing which is very worrying!

Regarding the blueprint icons after removing the SD: that's normal. Not all the app are convenient to move as part of it remain inside the device storage and just part of it get moved to the SD card, in fact that's the exact reason why also removing the SD card you still see the blueprint icons.
Why some apps are not convenient to be moved? Because some apps, for example, of 10mb of size will be splitted in two parts, one of 8mb in the device storage and one of 4mb in the SD card so the size will increase instead of decrease, and you'll save just 2mb of internal storage and lose 4 of SD space..
Is it really convenient moving apps to the SD card? No, not really. SD card after long time usage are prone to failure, they are not created to run applications for long time and if a SD card stop to work, you'll have to reinstall all the apps.

Transferring apps with with purchases on them.

I plan on getting an ipad soon and was wondering if I buy stuff on apps like ibooks, marvel, or DC on my iphone currently will the books and comics transfer over to the ipad as well or is it stuck on that one device? Also what about games? I have Final Fantasy 1 and 2 and my iphone and when I plug the ipad in into itunes will my save game files be transfered over or just the app its self and I'll have to start over? Also this last part might sound stupid but it is possible to only have certain things go from itunes to ipad and not iphone right? Like if I bought a tv show I can go into itunes and only check it so it uploads to the ipad correct?

ok i have a skill at explaining things like this though its may be long
1 ibooks, Apps, music, videos etc.. can all be transfered through itunes. done
2 App data, the original app its self will be transfered BUT All saved data will NOT transfer for example tap tap 3 the game will transfer but non of the songs, credit, acounts, weapons, and game progress will not, back to square 1
3 remember that itunes is in control, after syncing the item can be deleted but when you next sync your device you will be faced with the ultimatum on whether to transfer the item back onto itunes or to delete the item off your divice. if you want to transfer the item from one computer to another you can just save it in the image files (no itunes needed) [Computer\{name of iPad}\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE] but in doing this you can not open/use the item on the ipad >.< apple products can be soooo difficult!!!
well that was quick, hope i cleared most of it up

Transferring apps that have had subscriptions?

I'm hoping to use the new app transferrig feature to transfer apps from our current developer's account over to our own one, as we are changing suppliers at the end of August.
However, the 6 apps we will be transferring are on the newsstand and as such have auto renewing subscriptions, which from what I understand excludes them from eligibility to the transfer process.
That being said, I have come up with a possible work around which I may just have enough time to put into place - assuming it would work, hence my need for some guidance and confirmation.
Although the apps are currently live and on the app store with subscriptions in place my idea is to have them resubmitted and approved without any subscriptions, so that when live, and without the feature that makes them inelibigle, we can put them through the transfer process.
So my question is basically as follows: If an app has been reapproved without subscriptions, even though it previously did have them, and there will be people who have said previous version of the app on their devices with auto renewable subscriptions still in place, could they be transferred since in their present state they do not have subscriptions?
OR if anyone else has come up with a work around I would appreciate it, my priority is firstly to retain the names of the apps as I would like to resubmit the new versions with the names currently being used. Secondary to this, it would be nice to retain the customers that have already downloaded the previous versions.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate any advice on the matter as time's a ticking on this and I want to get the ball rolling asap!
Cheers
Sid
