Hello, Mark,
I too was a bit confused on how to accomplish this. Firstly, you'll not only want to make a backup of your iPad to your computer, but also make sure to use the "Transfer Purchases" option. You can find this by right-clicking (hitting the applications key or shift+F10), and arrowing down until you reach this option. Press enter on it, and all the things you've bought using your iPhone will transfer to the computer. This includes apps, music, iBooks, ringtones, and any other things you've bought on your iPad through the Apple stores. Next, plug in your iPhone, and highlight it in the sources treeview or that new weird default layout of iTunes 11. Press tab until you reach the "Apps" radio button, and press space. After doing so, press tab until you reach an item called "Apps table tree view" or something like this. This is a list of every app you've transferred back to your computer. Arrow down the list. As you do so, you'll notice that your screen reader says checkbox after reading out the app's name with each press of the down/up arrow. Checking the box will tell iTunes that you want that app to be synced to your iPhone. Unchecking the box will tell iTunes that you don't want that app to be synced to your iPhone. After checking/unchecking the apps you want/don't want on your iPhone,, tab until you reach the "Apply" button. Press this, and your changes will be synced to your iPhone. Note 1: If you have downloaded apps on your iPhone that you have not transferred to your computer and which are also not on your iPad, do so before proceeding to mess with the "Apps table treeview." Note 2: The state of the checkboxes will not change, so if you decide you want an app on your iPhone later, you'll have to check it's box and resync with iTunes. I hope this helps. Have fun with your new iPhone!
