How do I get an app on my mac laptop that is on iphone

don't know how to get apps on my Desktop of my mac

The cloud is just a different form of back up and of syncing. Not everyone has unlimited downloads. And there is certainly nothing stone age or archaic about using the most rapid method possible. The wired USB connection from a computer to an iOS device is much faster than OTA syncing.
Only a fool would come here and suggest countermanding Apple's instructions that everyone needs to backup everything, even what is available or stored in the clouds. If someone relies solely on iCloud for their backup of iOS content and that content is removed by Apple, for whatever reason, then that content is lost, never to be recovered if the user does not have their own redundant, hard backup.
Case in point; many folks prefer VLC on the Mac (and maybe the PC for all I know) for video viewing. When VLC was made available in the iTunes App Store for iOS devices, the developers had an internal fight and Apple quickly removed the app. Only those of us who acquired it quickly while it was available have it. And only those of us with our own self-maintained content backup can recover it if an iOS device has an issue or mishap and is wiped of all content.

    How do I get my apps on my macbook to show on my iphone?

    The Apps that you bought and use on your Macbook are based on the OS X operating system.  The Apps your iPhone can use are based on iOS as an operating system.  They are not compatible.  You will need to purchase iOS versions of the Apps you want for your iPhone from the iTunes Store.
    Hope this helps

    How do I get the App Store?  I bought Snow Leopard 10.6.3 so that I could download Lion so that my MobileMe email account would work again.  Installed Snow Leopard and no way to get Lion because I don't have an App Store.

    You need to update to 10.6.8 to be able to get the App Store, and to be able to download Lion (10.7)

  • How do I get my music on my Mac to my iPad and iPhone

    I Have a bunch of songs on my Mac but they are not on my iPad or iPhone. How do I get them from iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your music isn't in iCloud.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
    If the content isn't purchased from iTunes you will need to sync it from your Mac:
    Connect the device to iTunes on your computer (you can do this with a USB cable or by wifi if your software is up to date). Select your device from the 'Device' list in iTunes (Top right corner in iTunes 11) and navigate to the 'Music' tab. Ensure that the 'Sync Music' checkbox is checked, select the items you want on your device and click apply/sync.

  • How can I get my app store and itunes to work in my iphone without dumping everything?

    I have already dumped my phone twice to get itunes and the app store to work and it only lasts for a small time.  I don't want to dump all my info again and then get everything back to what it should be just to have the stores go down again.  Every time this happens some of my other apps don't work like they are suppose to work.  When I try to ask for help from "professionals" I am treated like no one knows what I am talking about, but every other person I know that has an apple product is having the same issue.  I don't know why it is not being fixed and why I am having to dump everything once or twice a week to keep my ipod and iphone working properly.  You have to dump everything and not restore from back up to get it work.  This is becoming completely unacceptable.  If anyone knows any tricks at all please let me know. (And I have tried the deauthorizing and reauthorizing stuff... it will only let deauthorizing and will not let me sign back in) Thanks.

    You get the develop module to function properly by installing the standalone installation of Lightroom. If the develop module is disabled you still have the creative cloud installation. It will have to be removed. You can download from here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Performing this uninstall/reinstall will have no impact on your images or the work you have done in Lightroom. The catalog and your images are left intact.

  • HT204003 How can I get .pkpass files on my Mac to Passbook on the iPhone?

    I've used Passbook sucessfully on my iPhone before (boarding passes).  However, I just downloaded an .pkpass file from a web site to my Mac, and I can't get the pass to the iPhone.
    If I double-click on the file, something called Pass Viewer asks if I want to send the ticket to my Passbook.  I say yes, and it appears to work.  If I double-click again, the view says that ticket is already in my Passbook, but it doesn't appear on the iPhone.
    I'm logged into the iCloud on the Mac, and I have iCloud support enabled on the iPhone for Passbook.  Why does the Mac believe the pass has been sent, but the iPhone can't see it?
    -- ross

    Did you try the reccomendation in the article you linked from?
    Tap Settings > iCloud and turn off Passbook.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and turn on Passbook.

    If that doesn't work, maybe you can drag the pkpass into an email and send it directly to the phone.
