How can I play app games for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

Is it possible to play app-games made for iPhone and iPad on my iMac

The iPhone and iPad run iOS and the Mac runs OS X.
Apps written for iOS will not run on Mac.
Only if the developer has written a version for OS X will it run on the Mac and you would have to buy and install that version of the Mac.

  • How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?

    How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?

    Go to the iTunes App Store, sort the applications by release data, and look at the older ones; these are likely to be compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the iPhone is a 3GS or newer model, it can be connected to iTunes on a computer and updated to 6.1.3.

  • Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

    My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
    The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
    All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
    Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
    However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
    I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
    Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

    Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
    So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

  • How can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

    HHow can I print from iCal on iPhone and iPad?

    Hi EScott,
    This is an easy fix. You indicate that you get these emails just fine on your desktop, so they are not getting lost. They are just not making it to your iPhone or iPad. This tells me that you need to change the preferences of the accounts on your desktop machine. Each account will have a setting for what to do with mail on the server after you have checked it. The choices are to leave on the server,  or to delete it.
    If you have it set to delete, it won't be there when you later go check your mail from your mobile device. Most of the people I see post here with email issues have the opposite problem from you. They check their email from the phone during the day, then can't get it on the desktop later. It sounds like your iPhone and iPad are already set to leave on server.
    All you have to do is go into your mail client on the desktop and in the individual preferences for each account change this setting. You may also want to check how you have deleted mail set up. It also can be set to be removed immediately, at a later time (like a week, month), or never. If you have it set to delete it won't be in your trash folder.
    Good luck.

  • Can't trust this computer for iphone and ipad with Itunes

    hi all
    after updating to ios 7.1.1 on both my iphone 4s and ipad I keep getting this message when I connect my phone or ipad to my iMac
    :iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
    then this : Do you want to allow this computer to access information on “davidbarton’s iPad”?
    If you don’t allow access, you will not be able to manage or sync your iPad with this computer.
    I click trust on the device and then continue from within iTunes and I get this : iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission.
    I have started getting this too after running disk utility and verify disk permissions, then running repair disk permissions
    : The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).
    *** is going on please and how can i fix it, anyone?
    thanks

    Yes.
    Anything you uncheck in iTunes remains the same with iTunes regardless which device you are syncing.
    I make use of iTunes playlists for the music I want transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have selected playlists, artists, and genres chosen. I select the iTunes playlists and/or artists and genres that I want transferred to my iPhone. I also have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences. This way if I want to remove a song or songs from my iPhone without removing the songs from the playlist I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone, I can uncheck the song or songs in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. Or I can remove a song or songs from the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. To add additional music to my iPhone, I can add the music to one of the playlists in iTunes I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone followed by a sync.
    You can have the same playlist or playlists transferred to both, or different playlists transferred to each, but whatever is deselected in iTunes will be reflected on both with sync only checked songs and video selected for your iPhone and iPad sync preferences.

  • How can I text someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

    How can I
    someone from my iPhone and iPad if there phone is not an apple product?

    The iMessage app on an iPhone can send SMS messages when an iMessage path is not available; on an iPad it cannot, because SMS is an adjunct to the voice telephone system, which the iPad does not use.

  • How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

    I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad.  I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
    Thank you!

    Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
    On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

  • How can I sync magazine purchase between iPhone and ipad?

    Just subscribed to a few magazines on the newsstand via my iPhone but can't see them on the ipad? What's the way out? Thanks.

    Hey Lkr100,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to sync calendar events between your iPhone and iPad (3rd gen). I would recommend using iCloud, which you can read about here:
    Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.

  • How can I play video on my iPhone and have it display on my iMac?

    I don't own a tv.  But I do own an iPhone 5s and an iMac.  I'd like to mirror the video I have access to from my phone onto the iMac.  How can I do this?

    Hello Kailua,
    I know that you can mirror you iPhone's display onto a Apple TV, as can you with the Mac, but I do not think you can mirror your iPhone to your iMac.
    Sincerely,
    Devin

  • How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV?

    How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV? What Wires/cables do I need? I understand it depends on TV but do I need cable for video and also a cable for sound??? Please help, thanking you.

    You need one of the Apple AV Cables:
    Composite: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB129ZA/B
    Component: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB128ZA/B
    Note that with this cable, you can output videos and photo slideshows, but not games, etc. - it doesn't show everything on the screen, only outputs videos and photo slideshows.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.
