A simple question: I need to transfer apps from an iPad with iOS 9 to one with iOS 10. Should be simple, no? I've tried programs which claim to transfer apps from an 'old' iPad to a new one but transfer is always blocked. iTunes doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks for any help offered.
iPad, iOS 9
Apps cannot be directly transferred between devices. Instead, for Apps that are compatible and remain available for download, they are simply installed again from the App Store.
Purchased Apps are digitally signed - and permanently associated with the AppleID account from which they were purchased.

Thanks. I'm not looking to transfer 'directly' - indirectly would do fine!
Have you tried downloading apps from the AppStore onto an iOS10 iPad recently? Maybe there are some where it's possible, but none of those which I've tried. Which is why I need to transfer the ones I already safely have to a newer iPad. We can put men on the moon (or could) so a simple exercise like this must be possible somehow, with all the modern tech available to us.
Your time and helpfulness is appreciated.
Gone are the days when iTunes copied apps directly to a backup
If those apps aren't in App Store or on some access certificate then they are unavailable
P.S. Is a free app downloaded from the App Store a 'Purchased app', even though it wasn't purchased?
