[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1756185, member: 83420"] @mesut Isn't it great to be awaiting such a lovely new iPad? As ferrarr (Bob) says, apps for all iDevices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) should be downloaded from iTunes. Go into iTunes, choose Apps from media list and then choose "App Store". This is where you get your apps - some pay-for, some free. They are all there. When you have acquired these apps, they are owned by you and can be installed on any iDevice you own. They will show up under iTunes > Apps > Library. When you get your new iPad, attach it to your MacBookAir via USB and be sure to insert the USB into one of the Mac's own ports rather than via a hub - just to be sure. You will have to activate your iPad, update the iOS to the latest (the iPad is likely to be on 10.3.1, the latest, but if not, it will tell you to update to that). It will take you through the whole process including your Apple ID, setting up iCloud and so on. Then you can install all your apps via sync. In my opinion, it's a good thing to keep all your iDevice apps up to date in iTunes whether you bought them from there or on the iPad itself. By doing this, you will always have a backup of your apps in iTunes. Another advantage of this approach - say an app becomes corrupted, and you need to reinstall it - it may no longer be available from the app store; but you can reinstall it from your iTunes backup.
