Why can't I put the app purchased on my iPad onto my iPhone?

I purchased an app on my iPad.  (This was before I installed iCloud.)  I went onto iTunes to move it onto my iPhone, and I couldn't get it on my iPhone.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Please help!

If you're browsing the App Store on your iOS device, it should only give you apps compatible with that particular device.
If you're browsing it from iTunes on your computer, t's always a good idea to check if the app you're looking at is device-specific.
Happy shopping!

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

    I had to send in my iPad in to get the volume button fixed. In the meantime, I've been given a substitute iPad (both are from the school at which I work). How do I put the apps from my original iPad onto the substitute iPad?

    Sync the substitute iPad to the same computer iTunes that you used previously to sync the original iPad.

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    If you have a problem with an app that the developer can't/won't help you with then you will need to contact iTunes Support, either as described on the page that you posted from, or via the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem

    Upgrading the OS does not remove your apps and purchases.

  • Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

    why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
    Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

    10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
    Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

  • Why can't I get in-app purchases?

    Why can't I get in-app purchases?

    We are having this same problem with our Iphones and before you ask yes these phones are allowed to make in-app purchases. This is happening for all apps not just one or two and all of our Iphones. We have even asked several of our friends with Iphone and they also are unable to make in-app purchases. We can go into the app and go to the in-app purchase area and we see what is available but we are unable to make any selections.  We have contacted apple care and they have had us reset the settings for in-app purchases and we still get have the same problem. Since this is happening on all our Iphones 3s, 4, and 4s. It leads me to believe that it is an issue with the Itune store not allowing in-app purchases. Is any one else having this problem? Had this problem but was able to get it fixed, what did you have to do to get it where you could make in-app purchases.
    Thanks

  • How can I transfer all the apps purchased from one account to another?

    Good day,
    I'm just wonderin' can I transfer all the apps purchased from my old account to a newer one?

    No, apps (plus other content bought from Apple such as music and films) are tied to the account that bought / downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

  • Why can't i access the app store on my iphone 5

    Go to settings, then scroll down to appstore and itunes store. Then tap id and sign out. Next, sign in again.
    Or restart the device by holding power button until red slider appears. Slide it. After the iphone turns off. Hold the power button to turn it backon. Then try the solution above.

  • I can't connect to the app store with my iPad

    I can't connect to the App Store with my iPad. The App Store icon is displaying 3 updates available but when I click on the icon I can't connect.

    HaiTan --
    We're all other Apple customers here, helping each find solutions.  So we can't fix it.
    But try again tomorrow.  All Apple servers are undergoing a huge number of hits.  I think tomorrow or even the next day, all upgrade, update, and activation servers will be in better shape, as well as the App Store.
    Any time millions of people want to do exactly the same thing online, there's always trouble, LOL.
