Can IOS apps be viewed on iMac

iOS apps will not run on a Mac. You may store backup copies of the the apps in the iTunes content libraries by syncing your iOS devices with the Mac. You can see what apps are in the content library from within the iTunes app, as well as, update the apps when available.

  • Remote iOS app no longer wakes iMac up after Lion install

    Hello there. I installed Lion on my iMac and updated iTunes to the (most recent) Lion-compatible version. I also have an iPhone 4 with the most up-to-date version of the iOS and the Remote app. I used to be able to launch the Remote app from my iPhone and play music from my iTunes library on my iMac, but if my computer has gone to sleep the Remote app will not find my library and will time out looking for it.
    I was able to remotely "wake up" my iMac with my Remote app (both from my iPhone and iPad) before Lion, but ever since I installed Lion I cannot do that. If the iMac is "awake", I'm able to connect with the Remote app just fine. It's only when the computer has gone to sleep that I cannot. Anybody else with this problem? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, no. I still have the problem. Although it seems to be happening less often (not sure if this is a symptom of more recent OS updates, both on the iMac and iPhone). It's infuriating. If you stumble upon a solution, please share!

  • Can ipad apps be used on iMacs?

    I'm new to Imac. If you've purchased apps for the ipad, can those same app be used on the Imac? For example, I have Numbers on my Ipad but need the program on my Imac as well and did not want to have to purchase it again. Thanks

    No, and not vice-versa. They are two different hardware platforms requiring different operating systems.

  • Can iOS app run as daemon and access iPhone functions?

    I wanted to make an app that stays in the background at all times such that it can send SMS messages at scheduled times. I've tried other apps to do this, but they all use a third party server to send the messages. What I want is for the phone itself to send the message(s) on a pre determined/user defined schedule.
    If this is possible with the iOS SDK, then I'm going to start learning iOS development from scratch. If it's something that cannot be done, then I won't bother.

    It can't be done with an App that Apple will approve.

  • I want to create and then email holiday cards from my iMAC.  All I can find are IOS apps.  Are then any OS X apps to do this?

    I  want to create and then email holiday cards from my iMAC, preferably in spanish but english would be OK.  All I can find are IOS apps.  Are then any OS X apps to do this?  Thanks!

    Two apps that I have that do different types of greeting cards.
    The Print Shop Pro.
    Swift Publisher
    And, if I remember correctly,  the free image editor, Gimp, has templates for different greeting cards, also.

    everytime i click on the view in itunes button/link on the itunes website so that i can download apps, nothing happens. I accendentally  clicked on the button other than open itunes and now i cant fix it

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sifnout and sign back in
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I bought a new iPad 3 in USA in July but now I cannot access my apps store. I can't update or view the apps store. Secondly it keeps on telling t

    I bought a new iPad in July in USA and it was set up by the Apple store in Houston, now I can't access my apps store neither can I view all my purchased apps.
    Secondly, every time it want to update my apps that I bought years ago, it tells me to go to Nigeria store. I don't know why I must change to a store to update my apps
    Thirdly, I think it's unfair to pay the same amount of Money for an IPad with those in USA and the you can't even download the good apps. It seems  the apps in the Nigeria store are those they don't want in the USA . Why can't we have the same quality apps considering we paid the same amount of money to buy this iPads. I think this is very unfair to us.

    The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
    This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
    Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
    I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
    I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

  • HT4461 Can I transfer my iphone aps to my new iMac?

    Can I transfer my iphone purchased apps to my new iMac?

    Yes, but only to store them on it; iOS applications can't be run on a computer. Having bought the iOS version of an application doesn't entitle you to download the Mac OS X version for free; the developers need to create and maintain them separately.

  • Is there an OSX application which will allow me to run iOS apps on my iMac?

    I'm consistently finding great new apps for my iOS devices to control any number of household utilities and entertainment systems. Is there an emulator tool for OSX for which I can use my apple id to load and access all of those great iOS apps on my OSX based iMac?
    For example I have apps which control my pool, home scale measurements, lighting, entertainment system, etc. It would be really convenient to have access to all of those tools on my iMac rather than always having to find an iOS device.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Check w/each manufacturer to see if they make an OS equivalent.  It's what I do when I see an iOS app that I  am interested in to use on a Mac.

  • Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

    Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

    I assume that you mean Numbers, in which case the iPad version can be used on the iPhone (if you've got the current version of Numbers then you will need iOS 5 on your iPhone). It can't be used on your iMac as that is a different operating system, you will need the Mac OS X version for that - but you can use spreadsheets created in Numbers on the iPad in Numbers on the Mac and vice versa.

  • Can I use iCloud storage for iOS apps?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use iCloud to save/load data across devices with iOS apps created using Air.
    I know there is a lot of talk about now meeting the Apple data storage guidelines eg http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
    What I can't understand is if I actually want to use iCloud to save data a user has created in my app (ie condition 1 of the storage guidelines - user generated data, cannot be re-created by application).
    If I was to save this user data to the <Application>/Documents directory...
    a) would it be backed up by iCloud and meet Apples requirements?
    b) if my application was installed on another device is there any way, using Air/AS3, to know that a file has been updated and read the file?
    Please let me know if this doesn't make sense... still trying to get my head around how it all works.
    Thanks.

  • Can i use purchased sound effects off iTunes in an iOS app? - copyright issue

    basically I'm making an iOS app, and i need a sound effect that i purchased off the iTunes store, aka from some company. Can i use this sound effect in my app without being sued a lot of money? If i payed for the file i should be okay correct?

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:
    "You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
    We do not give legal advice on this Forum, but I think the statement is pretty clear.

    how can I use microsoft word, power point and those apps in my new iMac ? i bought this iMac yesterday so am new on tho and i would like to know

    If you absolutely must have the Microsoft applications, you can purchase and download them from http://microsoft.com/mac.
    Free software suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice offer similar functionality (word processing and spreadsheets).
    Or you could do worse than look at Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which should already be installed in your Mac and can export to Microsoft formats if need be.
