iPad stopped syncing apps from iTunes

Suddenly whenever I add new applications on iTunes (9.2) on my PC, they will not sync to my iPad. Everything has been working fine for months and this just appeared. I buy a new app in the app store, connect my iPad, layout where I want the app to go using the PC mockup of the iPad screen, then sync. Everything else syncs (photos, etc.), but no new apps are added to my iPad. I can buy the same app from the iPad using the App Store, but it will not sync from the PC. I also sync another iPhone and iPad to the same iTunes library, and they are still working fine. I have confirmed that the Apple ID in that is active in iTunes matches the one in Settings\General\Store on the iPad. Not sure what is going on. I'm trying a restore but if that doesn't work I'm stumped.

iPad, iPhone OS 3.1.3

I am not sure if you got this working or not yet, but a few things to try.

1) When you use the apps tab to arrange the apps and select new ones for the sync, make sure you click the "Apply" button before leaving the apps tab. If not, your changes may not be picked up.

2) If you still have the problem, you can try buying the app(s) with the ipad's apps store and using the itunes menu option of "Transfer purchases from iPad" in the File pulldown menu on itunes.
