Download the app from the App Store on your iPad. To do this, launch the App Store app on your iPad and choose the previously purchased tab. On this tab, you will see your most recent purchases, including those done on a PC or Mac. Tap the cloud button next to the app icon to start the download. You are not charged again for apps you've already. Where you could once download apps onto your Mac and manage your mobile devices from there, you now have to download apps directly onto your device. Fine in some ways but not so great in others. So what is an iPhone or iPad owner to do? Question: Q: Organize iphone apps from itunes on mac I want to organize my apps on my phone (move apps around and put them into folders) from itunes on my mac. I'm not seeing an apps tab in itunes or the option that lets you move apps anymore in itunes.
