Transferring your iPhone Apps to your iPad couldn't be easier

Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
Click the "Apps" tab
Check the "Sync Apps" check box
Select the Apps you want to sync
Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner

Now that your iPhone Apps are transferred to iTunes, you just need to Sync your iPad with iTunes

Connect your iPad to your Computer
In iTunes, click your iPad in the "Devices" section on the left
Click the "Apps" tab
Check the "Sync Apps" check box
Select the Apps you want to sync
Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner

Note: for instructions on How to Keep iPhone synchronized with multiple iTunes libraries, please refer to our dedicated post

Contrary of what many people believe ( or fear ), there's no problem syncing as many iPod devices to iTunes as you want

Just connect any device ( iPod, iPhone or iPad ) to your Computer
In iTunes, click your iPhone or iPad in the "Devices" section on the left
Use tabs such as "Info" or "Apps" to set up your synchronization settings
When you are done, click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
Now, connect another iPod, iPhone or iPad and you'll be able to set its sync preferences independantly from the first one. iTunes is able to manage several iPod devices separately without mixing anything up

Notes & possible issues

If iTunes warns you that your iPhone is linked to another library and asks whether you want to sync /delete it, don't do so, unless your iPhone is empty as this would erase its whole contents
Instead, if one of your iPhones is synced to another computer ( library ), start by preventing iTunes from synchronizing iPhone and then Import iPhone content to iTunes
Then only, you can sync your iPhone with your computer
In case you need to Populate iTunes based on iPhone, please follow our step by step instructions
To manage two sets of iPhone Contacts and Calendars on a single computer, you need to create two user accounts on your computer
