IPhone – transfer apps from iPhone 4S to iPad 3 using iTunes 10 on a PC

ipadiphoneitunes

I have an iPad 3 and a iPhone 4S both logged in with the same Apple ID. I have downloaded about a dozen apps on my iPhone 4S and would like to transfer these over to my iPad 3.

I have connected my iPad to my PC with iTunes, however I cannot seem to find the setting that allows me to transfer the apps I have previously downloaded with this Apple ID to my iPad.

I am using iTunes 10.

How can I do this?

Best Answer

If you want to simply reinstall the apps, look for the Apps tab in the iPad sync settings on iTunes, tick the boxes of the apps you want to transfer. If you want to copy your save files, etc. then try the following.

Note I haven't tried this

When you reset your iPad or plug it in for the first time, it will ask you if you wish to restore from backup. Try choosing your iPhone 4S's backup if it's in the list.

Also, you can simply re-download from the app store on your iPad at no charge. Instead of a price tag, you will see an Install button.
