iPhone Apps sync with iPad

My husband just bought me an iPad today and when I synced it for the first time he told me to sync it like it was new. But I have some apps on my phone I would love to also have on my iPad but now that it's synced my apps are all acting brand new on my iPad. For example I have a password app and on my phone it's all filled out but on my iPad I have to redo it. How can I sync the apps to my iPad with all the info that's already in the app. I hope this makes sense. Do I need to reset my iPad and start over?

iPad, iPhone OS 3.1.3

The apps install on a new device like new they don't carry your user data with them. I would suggest restoring your iPad with the backup from your iPhone. I'm not sure how it will work but I know when I first synced my iPad iTunes asked if I wanted to setup as a new device or from my iPhone backup. This might do what you want it to do. Post back if you try it.

Also if your password app has a desktop companion app check to see if u can do a wifi sync between the two to fill your iPad app. 1password does this but you need both paid apps on your computer and your iPhone/iPad.

Ya I got that option to but synced it as a new device and not from the backup. When you synced yours from your iPhone backup did all the info from the apps transfer to your iPad? If I reset it all will it give me that option? Ya I have 1Password pro but not for my computer, would be nice if I did. I'm just afraid to reset because I've done stuff with my iPad already but I also don't want to have to redo all the info in certain apps, like the password app, stylish girl (that app took forever for me to set up), occassions.

You can return to your backup by restoring again. After the restore is complete, iTunes will ask if you want to use your backup.. You definitely should if you want keep your personal data intact.
