Can I put an app i bought for my macbook pro onto my iphone without buying it again?

I was just wondering if I bought an app for my Macbook Pro and I want to use it on my iPhone as well, is there a way to download it onto my iPhone without purchasing it again?

The issue is that apps that run on an iPhone run on the iOS. Apps that run on your Mac are designed for the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
An app that runs on an iOS based device cannot run on the Mac OS X and vice versa.

  • If I buy numbers for my macbook pro do I have to buy it again for my macbook air?

    I'm soon going to working on two apple laptops and I loveeee the concept that true Icloud my work automatically is accessible on all my devices in with the latest changes I made. However for me its a bit unclear if I have to buy keynote, numbers, pages, again for my coming new 2nd laptop. Can anyone tell me this??

    You only have to buy it once. According to the Terms of Use, you may install an app on as many Macs as you own or have in your control. Once you buy it an install it on one Mac, open the App Store app on the other Mac, go to the Purchases pane and download it again.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iOS apps are different than Mac apps, so you can't use a iOS app on a Mac. You have to purchase that app in the Mac App Store in order to use it with the Mac. They are different operating systems and require different apps

  • Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system 10.6.8?

    Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system OS X10.6.8?  I just bought a new printer and it requires minimum 10.7

    You cannot get Mavericks because it has been replaced by Yosemite. Your machine will work just fine with Yosemite, but you don't have to upgrade if you prefer not to.
    You should always maintain a backup. Hard drives fail, data are lost. A backup is a security blanket for your data.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
         capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

    I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
    I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
    Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

  • Can I put the 2Gb RAM (X2) from my MacBook Pro into my MacBook 5,1? The intel is different (2Ghz not 2.3) and the speed is 1067 not 1333. But they are both DDR3.

    Can I put the 2Gb RAM (X2) from my MacBook Pro into my MacBook? The intel is different (2Ghz not 2.3) and the speed is 2000 not 1333. But they are both DDR3.
    I have just upgraded the Pro to 16Gb and the MacBook is SO slow. Just wondering if I could use the old RAM.

    Full specification of MB5.1 RAM;
    204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM, non-ECC (non parity), unbuffered.
    MBP8.1, 8.2 or 8.3;
    204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM, non-ECC (non parity), unbuffered.
    PC3 is the same as DDR3. the number is peak transfer rate (approximated).
    Further reading suggests your swap may work, but it's not guaranteed. If you get 3 beeps on start up (or the sleep light flashing in bursts of 3), first check it's correctly seated, but be prepared to swap them back.
    If you encounter any instability or kernel panics, change them back.

  • What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
    What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

  • I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

    Hello bluefeather. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How do you have the iMac G5 connected to the Time Capsule (TC) ... by Ethernet or wirelessly? If wirelessly, try connecting via Ethernet ... can it access the Internet now? What version of OS X are you running on the iMac?
