HT4928 my purchased apps do not show up on my mac book but they do if i log in on my iPad,they are not hidden either, why is this?

I have purchased loads of apps on my Ipad including pages and numbers, I want to use then on my new mac book pro so i logged in to my app store account and none of the apps I can access on my ipad show up in my "purchased" area. they are not hidden under my account settings either, how do i get them on my mac book, I have logged in to the app store via my ipad and theey are all on there, am I being a dumb fool? this is the first Macbook i have ever owned and dont know my way around, any help please!?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apps for the Mac and apps for the iPad are different and they can't be installed on the other one. Also, the iPad apps you purchased are on the App Store, and the Mac apps you purchase are on the Mac App Store, so you can't get your iPad apps on the Mac App Store.
In your case, you have to buy Numbers and Pages for Mac on the Mac App Store, because OS X and iOS are different operating systems

  • Hi all, Since I updated to Mavericks I am having trouble with Safari showing all the buttons/clickable options, but they are gray and will not work. Specifically, the Trash Can/Delete and the "Move to" folder button simply do not work. Any ideas?

  • HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

  • I synced ipod to itunes (windows), it removed all my single purchased songs. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray

    I synced ipod to itunes (windows), itunes removed all my single purchased songs from my iphone. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray and I can't move them back to my iphone or to any other device.  I can't play them on the computer in itunes, I can't move them back to my iphone (where original purchase was made), and I can't move them into another ipod.

    I had the Itunes store do this to one song out of three I downloaded. I went back to the Itunes store and reclicked on the song to download it again. It ran the download again and got the complete song this second time. Then I just resynced with my Itunes and all is fixed.

  • Ipad and Iphone show offline on find my phone, but they are both on, what am I doing wrong

    My iphone was lost and im trying to locate it using find my phone however it says all devices are offline!
    I have my Ipad thats connected to the same apple id and the find my phone is enabled and im currently connected to my home wifi as well as hotspot, but, it says offline!
    What am I missing, please help me fix this so I can attempt to find my phone!
    Thank you

    If the location of the device is unknown, then it will show up as offline.  It's quite possible that your router has not been properly registered by your provider to show its location.  Also your device has be be turned on and connected to wifi.
    As for iphones, they shouldn't have this router problem, since they are also connected to cell towers.
    Did you ever test all your devices before, at home, to see if they could be located.  If they were found, then my hypothesis in the first paragraph is probably not correct.  You might test your ipad at another location, like a mall to see if you can find it using the Find My iPhone app.

  • My IPad 2 also will not connect to ITunes for  updates and purchased apps.  It shows Waiting for several minutes then says it cannot connect to ITunes.  All other wifi functions are working fine on it.

    I see this is happening to a lot of folks today.  Has anyone found a solution?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • Purchased movies no longer showing up in my itunes, even though they are in my past purchases.

    I am trying to figure out why movies I purchased (not rented) are no longere in my library. There are quite a few of them missing. Any ideas on how to get them back?

    In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option.  Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course). 
    Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

  • Not all files are showing up on my network hd, but they are there

    I have a PC and Macbook Pro networked in my house using an Airport Extreme. The HD shows up fine on both the PC and Mac (after a bit of problem with the HD format, it is now FAT32).
    I have backup software that automatically backs up a bunch of folders. After it finished backing up my music (about 9500 songs) I opened up the HD and only saw folders through D. I switched on the Macbook and it was the same thing. I tried manually adding the folders from my computers HD to the network HD and it said they already existed.
    I just plugged the HD directly into my computer (bypassing the network) and all the files are there.
    I am wondering how I can get to see all of the files that are on the HD, it is confusing my backup software so that it runs unnecessarily re backing up things that are already on the HD.
    Any help would be great

    The AirPort Extreme router can read and translate files that can be read on both PCs and Macs when connected to a shared disk. This is an important feature as it allows you to avoid using the very limiting FAT32 file format.
    Using FAT32 only makes sense when a hard disk or flash drive is alternately directly connected to both PCs and Macs.

  • Why are some of my messages not blue,but they are between iPhones?, Why are some of my messages not blue,but they are between iPhones?

    My friend and I are both using iPhones and our messages are not blue. Both of our I

    Hi Miss_emm04,
    If you have questions about the types of messages sent in Messages and why they may appear a certain way, you may find the following article helpful:
    How do I know if I am sending an SMS, MMS, or iMessage?
    The type of message you are sending is noted by the color of the send button and text bubble.
    A text message sent as SMS or MMS will show the word "Send" in green when typing and have a green text bubble.
    A text message sent as iMessage will show the word "Send" in blue when typing and have a blue text bubble.
    Some carriers may automatically convert long SMS messages (ones that would require multiple SMS messages to send) into MMS format.
    On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on the content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior on your iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS.

  • Photos: Shared tab shows "No Shared Photos or Videos" but they are there

    After taking photos on my iPhone, I have created many shared photo streams using my iPad and I have always used the iPad to view them.  But for some reason, now they don't appear on the iPad when I go into Photos app and tap on the Shared icon at the bottom.  All it see is "No Shared Photos or Videos" instead of the 15 or so shared streams I have.
    All my shared streams appear both on the iPhone and on my two Windows computers with iCloud.
    Any thoughts about what could be going on?

    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have downloaded audio books, but they are in my email. How do I get them into my iPhone 4? I thought it would be the same as purchasing items from the iTunes store. I just want to download audio books so I have something to listen to on long drives. Can

    I can't get my audiobook download from my emai on the computer to my iPhone. Can anyone help. I am useless at understanding how all this stuff works .

    Nothing has been deleted.
    The Library folder is just hidden now. Hold down the Option key while clicking on Go in the Finder's menu and you'll see that you can open the Library folder.
    Once opened, drag the folder to the Finder's sidebar, so that you open it more easily next time.

  • How do I install purchased apps on ipad2?  It says I have purchased the apps but they are not installed.

    I have just purchased an ipad2 and purchased 2 apps.  This is my first ipad.  The ipad says I have purchased these apps but they are not installed. I don't know how to install them.  Also I can only see them if I go to either the app store or the game center and click on purchased.  I would like them to show up on screen that shows when I open the ipad but maybe that only happens when they are installed?

    Did you purchase them directly on the iPad or on your computer's iTunes ? If on your iPad in the App Store app then have you checked to see if they are on a different homescreen by swiping the homescreen to the left ? If they are on a different screen, and there are spaces on the first homescreen then you can move them :
    Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds until the icons jiggle .
    Arrange the icons by dragging them (don't drag too quickly). You can't leave gaps between icons on a page
    to move them to a different screen drag them (not too quickly) and then hold them so that they are overhanging the edge of the screen - after a couple of seconds or so the display should change to the next/previous screen (depending on which edge you are holding it) and you can then place the icon.
    Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
    If you downloaded them on your computer then you can either connect your iPad to your computer and sync them across, or go into the App Store app on the iPad and re-download them via the Purchased tab (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)
    You can download a copy of the iPad manual from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • Hello , my previous purchased app do not occur again ,help me plz ?

    Hello , my previous purchased app do not occur again ,help me plz ?

    Have you changed countries since buying it, and is the app still available in your country's store ? If you've changed countries or it's been removed then you won't be able to redownload it - in which case do you have a copy of it in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library, or on your backup of your downloads/library, so that you can sync it back to your iPad ?
    If it is still in the store and it's not showing in the Purchased tab in the App Store app for redownloading then check to see if it's hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
