  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

    Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

    You remove them by using itunes on your computer with your phone attached.  Click on the photo tab and uncheck the folders your previousy synced and then sync again

    What kind of apps are you trying to download? How are you trying to download them? Are you having trouble going from computer to iPad (as the title says) or into the computer (as your post says)?

  • How do i get downloaded apps from my computer to my ipod without wifi?

    I am not the most tech savvy and am having difficulty with my ipod and no wireless. I feel like there has to be a way to add the downloaded apps and such to my ipod touch without wifi. I know that once it is reexplained to me I should be able to get it!

    Plug your iPod into your computer and open iTunes

  • Just bought a 5C iphone and when I when I tried to download everything from my computer it won't let me because I need to upgrade the IOS.  Unfortunately my apple computer is older so it won't let me download.  What else can I do?

    I just bought a iphone 5c and when I tried to use my computer to download the syncd version of my phone I found out I needed the latest version of the IOS.  I tried downloading the latest version and it won't let me do it unless I upgrade.  What else can I do?  I don't want to buy a new computer....

    If you want to synch your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you will need to meet the minimum requirements.  If this requires you to upgrade your computer then you will need to do so.  System requirements for the iPhone 5c are clearly posted on Apple's website and this should have been considered before you bought your phone.  There's no way around the system requirements.

  • Apps from old icloud account won't work with new apple id-Help

    I restored a number of ipads from an icloud backup, to include both bookmarks and Ipad apps to my team
    I then logged out of both the itunes and icloud accounts associated with these apps, and gave the ipads out to team members.
    They each made their own Apple ids to the personalise their accounts.
    However now some of them are having the problem that the original apps we installed on the first account don't work.
    Is this likely this will be a problem for them all? or is it a just a case of those affected having to do a reinstall.
    Thanks

    Hi Demo,
    Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
    I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
    My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
    The iPad is first generation
    OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
    Thank you in advance for your time

    The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
    No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
    as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

  • My iphone 3gs have a problom because i tryed to downloud apps from my computer without apple id so i tryed update it to ios5 when i made an apple id and the phone restarted dureing the update and i restored it but now i can not activate it why is that ???

    my iphone 3gs have a problom because i tryed to downloud apps from my computer with out apple id so some times it restart and the spring board always get crashed so now affter i made an apple id  i tryed to update it to ios5 but the phone restarted  in the middle of the update so restored the files from my computer but when i tryed to activeate the phone from wi fi it said activeate server is now unavilable and when i tryed to activeate it from itunes it told me there is no sim card why is that

    My phone is an iPhone 3gs too, and last night actually it said the same thing, "No Sim Card" and my friend and I started panicking but I did what I call a "Forced Reboot" where you hold down the Home and Power buttons until you see the apple logo. DO NOT RELEASE UNTIL THEN otherwise you are just shutting it down. So, I did that and it worked again....

  • Why i cannot log in my account on ipad and cannot download app from ipad?

    why i cannot log in my account on ipad and oso cannot download app from ipad??

    I don't totally understand what you are trying to do. Do you have an Apple ID and have you registered a valid credit card with iTunes?

  • Why can i not download apps from australia

    I live in the UK and wish to download apps from Australia like TENplay but unable to, why is that and when will apple allow us to do so?

    It's not Apple's choice. All content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple to sell on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country to use its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the UK store, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple can't sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
