itunes won't sync all apps to ipad

[wuphie77]

I received a new ipad because my original one stopped charging via AC adapater and itunes wouldn't recognize it. So when I got the new one, I performed the sync, but only a few apps came over. I can see them all in itunes, but they won't sync. I thought about downloading them again, but I think I will be charged. I tried it with a free app and it did not come up as "already ordered". Any ideas?

Do you have more than one itunes account?

No, only one account

You won't be charged if you use the same iTunes account. The iPad is just not very good at telling you that you already have the app before you press the "purchase" button. Rest assured it ALWAYS comes up with a message afterwards which said you already purchased it and won't be charged.

But before you do that, are you getting an error in iTunes? When you connect your iPad and select it in iTunes, change to the "Apps" tab (3rd in the list), do you have all the apps you want to be installed ticked in the column of apps? If they are ticked and they fail to install when your press "sync", you should get an error in iTunes telling you why. If so, what's the error?
