I have a question. I just got a new ipad. However, I have had an itouch for a long time and have many itouch apps in my itunes library.
I just connected the ipad for the first time since I started downloading apps on it. I see the ipad picture to the right. If I check "Sync applications", it says "all existing apps and their data on the ipad will be replaced with apps from this library". Does this mean I will lose the ipad specific apps I just bought/downloaded directly from the app store to my ipad?
I know you can use itouch apps on the ipad, but I am afraid this first sync will cause me to lose stuff.
help!!
thanks.

It's so disappointing. I thought it's only me having the problem and I thought I could find an answer here. Easiest way to do it here, is to have a whole library of what I've downloaded since day 1. Then drag the necessary apps to iPhone/iPad/iPod based on UDID, instead of the kind of app. This is really frustrating. I'm not gonna sync my iPad2 from cuz it's probably gonna be my iPhone + iPad's trashes, it would be easier to start fresh. Seriously, no solutions?
Thanks! Of course. Percectly logical, not that it would have ever occurred to me. I agree that Apple could have been a little more proactive in terms of anticipating this issue. When I get my iPhone this will become REALLY interesting;-)
