Have you ever synced your iPad with your computer? If you have synced in the past, then sync the apps to the iPad. If you have never synced this iPad with iTunes on your PC, iTunes is going to ask you if you want to erase the iPad and replace the content on the device with the contents in your iTunes library.


So have you ever synced with the PC before?


You can download the apps again for free in the purchased tab of the App Store on the iPad - as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with.

You can sync them via iTunes and a cable or you can enable iCloud and they will sync automatically. However, see note below.


Keep in mind that Apps that were added and run on your laptop will not run on your iPad. They are two different chip sets and two different Operating Systems. Although some developers make Apps that run across multi platforms i.e. iPod, iPad, iPhone, Laptops, Desktops. Go to the Developers help page and it will tell you what versions and what platforms/devices they run on.
