Buying an app for a different computer?

How do I go about ordering an App from the Mac App store for another user's computer? i need to "send" Final Cut to a remote workstation but the user is not permitted to purchase software. iOS/iTunes has "Gifting" apps. Can one do somethign similar for Mac Apps?

That would be akin to sharing an Apple ID which is never a good idea.
The Mac App Store does not currently support gifting of apps but a work around might be to purchase an iTunes Gift Card which can be redeemed at the Mac App Store.

"All cards work on the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store."
Keep in mind, iTunes Gift cards must be redeemed from the same country in which they were purchased.

    sales at AppStore are based upon 'users'= accounts; if the other Mac is running under your account, you can download and install a copy of iMovie 'for free' (the ToU of Appstore allow to  install purchases on as many computers you own = running under your account)
    If the other Mac is running under a different account, you have to log-in at AppStore under those account, and purchase it it.
    Quiet simple ... and cheap. And convenient.-

The thing is, the computer that was connected to the IPAD, we no longer have. So is there any way I can update it on my mac without erasing all the photos and videos?

  • Do i need  to buy an app for each device or one purchase.

    Do I need to buy pages app for every device or will one purchase do all my devices.

    One purchase for Macs and another for iOS devices. Note that if you're using a computer with Mac OS X 10.5.2, you'll need to either upgrade its OS or install the DVD version of iWork, which is separate from the Mac App Store version.

  • How do i download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer(32-bit)?

    How do I download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer (32-bit)?  The download page automatically detects my computer as 64-bit, but I want to download the installer for a different computer that is 32-bit.

    I ended up changing the user agent reported by my web browser to fool the website into thinking I was using a different web browser. On Google Chrome, press Ctrl-Shift-I to open the Developer Tools, then click the gear in the lower-right corner of the window. Check "Override User Agent" then select "Internet Explorer 7" from the drop-down.
    Once upon a time, you could download the 32-bit version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/, but the download link hasn't been updated recently and points to an old version of iTunes.
    If, like me, you think Apple should provide a link to the 32-bit version from the main download page, I would recommend giving Apple your feedback.

  • I have an iPad and my sister has a Mac. I'd like to buy an app for her from my Apple ID to her Apple ID but can't seem to do it. Any help please!!!

    I have an iPad and my sister has a Mac. I'd like to buy an app for her from my Apple ID to her Apple ID but can't seem to do it. Any help please!!!!

    HI Friend,
    I think Gift Cards found in iTunes can help you. You can give her a Gift Card as the same value as the app and then she can buy by herself.
    PS.: I never made it before, so please have a look about this in iTunes for further information before the purchasing.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?

    I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?

    No. You will not be able to work on documents that are stored in your iCloud.com account. You will able to download them from the cloud and revise them on your Mac. You don't need another app for that. You will need to buy the appropriate apps for the iDevices if you want to sync across all devices - Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
    The documents will sync across all devices that are Set up to use iCloud. You need to set up iCloud on the Mac and your iDevices in order for the documents to sync across all devices. You must be running Lion 10.7.2 on the Mac to use all of the features of iCloud.

  • Do I need to buy Keynote app for both iPad and Macbook Pro?

    Thus far, I use email to forward my Powerpoint from work (where I use a PC) to home (where I use a Macbook Pro).   This results in my occasionally having various forms of my presentations out there and I sometimes get confused as to which is the most current. 
    Using Keynote to "store" my presentations on the cloud when I'm not editing them would be great.  I guess I'm just wondering if I have to buy the app for my Macbook Pro AND buy it for my iPad, or would buying it for one device put it on all of my apple devices (including iPhone)? 
    Does anybody know?

    Yes, you do. The Mac OS X and iOS versions are separate products.

    The iPhone and the Mac do not run on the same operating system. IPhone apps do not run on a Mac. Mac apps do not run iPhone. If the developer has created an app for both the iPhone and the Mac they almost always sell them separately in the respective app stores.

  • I want to buy an app for a gift, from i phone is it possible?

    i want to buy an app for a gift, from i phone is it possible?

    I am able to Gift an App from my iPad and assume it would work similarly on an iPhone.  I go into the App detail and at the top right there is an option to "Gift this App".  Is this what you want to do?  Once you pay for it, It sends a redemption code to the email address of the recipient.  They click on it and it installs the app.
