How do I get my iPhone apps to run on my Macbook Pro?

I want to use on app to edit photos on my macbook. Having a giftcard, I decided to purchase this app on my macbook, (even though i had already had this app on my iPhone). I pressed 'Buy App' and it did take money out of my giftcard balance, but it didnt say that I had purchased the app. But I'm thinking, I must have, because it took the right ammount of money out of my account! But it didnt download, or appear in my downloads. So, then, I decided to sync my apps from my iPhone to my Macbook, and it did, so I can see the apps in my iTunes...but i cant use them on my Mac. Any ideas on what i should do? Ive tried everything I can think of doing. Thanks!

If you purchasd an App from within iTunes, it is designed for an iDevice, not a Mac. Mac compatible Apps are available from the Mac App Store.

  • How do I get my iPhone iMessages to sync with my macbook pro iMessages?

    I don't get imessages on my macbook pro unless I start the conversation first. How can I get my iMessages to sync together?

    I don't have the option to enable messages for phone numbers or emails in my iMessages Preferences. I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro running OS 10.9.3, with all updates offered.  So I can't sync my messages from my iPhone to my Mac and vice versa.

    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

  • How can i get in work my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

    how can i get in use my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • HT202159 How to I get to iPhone app support on my mac?

    I am having a problem with interrupted iPhone apps, but it is so much easier to type an READ on a larger screen. How can I get to the iPhone app support from my mac? -bc

    No. When i went back from this screen I followed a link and filed an apple support case.
    ID # 368186115. I expect I will get a telephone call trying to hit me up for $50. I wonder how many people have encountered this problem and just haven't yelled loud enough.
    You know I really like iPhone, but it has some limitations.  Trying to communicat by webpage is difficult for my 65 year old eyeballs. So I much prefer my 20 inch screen on the mac. But when I click on the app icon I get to the mac app store. I feel like I am in the wrong context and I probably am unless I simply missed a selection window that would allow me to switch to iPhone support. None-the-less, I suspect that they are 2 pods on the same floor of the same building. I mean, fancy meeting you here. And thank you for your concern.

  • How do I get back iphone app information from a DELETED Time Machine Backup disk

    Hi People,
    here is what happened:
    I have been using an iPhone App (Audio Memos Free - The Voice Recorder) to record song ideas (I am a songwriter). I have been using it for years.
    I backed up my iphone to itunes, and backed up my mac on Time Machine. After a month or so I did a fresh OSX install on my mac, copied all of my files back from Time Machine into my mac, and tried to set up Time Machine. I was not able to do so, so I had to format the Time Machine Backup disk and doing a "fresh" mac Time Machine Backup.
    After a week or so, my iphone asks me something like "you do not possess the rights for one or more applications". do not know what i did, but after 1 minute my iPhone was wiped out of all my apps and app contents. I had also the icloud app sync, so i did not worry, recovered from icloud notes, contacts, and all other things. so i did another backup to itunes.
    Now i discover icloud did not recover or save the "Audio Memos Free" app content. I know the data are hidden into the Time machine Backup HD, but i do not know where to search for the itunes backup in it.
    I know it is in library, but library won't show up.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    PS there is a chance that, even without a data recovery, my latest itunes backup was containing these songs, but i do not know how to fish that out of the Time machine drive.
    Thank you in advance.

    I would email iTunes Customer Service:

  • How do I get update iphone apps update without itunes match?

    I'm not a Luddite but ... Don't want Cloud, too many problems, and don't want to update to iTunes 10.7 if match is included. So the question becomes how do I get updates for my apps without the new iTunes store agreement. I feel as though I'm dealing with Micro-you-know-who and having a bunch of garbage shoved down my throat. And looking through all the questions about software not working properly... I've been there before. What is going on with Apple? Makes me really nervous.
    Help, please .............

    Match is optional (in fact you have to pay extra for it) - so carry on as before.
    iCloud is separate from iTunes and is used for syncing - it's generally recommended you use a separate Apple Id for the stores(s) and iCloud anyway - that way the family can share music & apps but sync individually.

  • HT201272 how do i get my iphone app upgrade i paid for, when i didn't have the download setting on , on my iphone 4?

    I paid for an upgrade to the ringtone maker and my download setting was off, how do i get my purchase downloaded to my phone without having to pay for it again?

    If that doesn't work you can use Migration Assistant - of course that will move all the application to the new computer.

  • How do I get Microsoft office from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

    I have an older paid for version of Microsoft Office. I believe it is 2011? Anyhow, I got a New/used fully updated Macbook Pro and I used my Time Capsule to transfer all my data from my iMac to my laptop, but much of the music is absent, as well as my purchased apps. How do I get these over? I do not have an optical drive so it is not as easy as reinstalling.

    If it's Office 2011 you can download a Trial at www.mactopia.com. You can then use your license key to make it a fully functional version.
    You can also download EasyFind 4.9 and use it to locate all the relevant Microsoft and office files located elsewhere on your old drive so you can transfer them to your new one.

  • How do I get the absolute best performance out of my MacBook Pro while playing Minecraft/Java Based Games?

    I pretty much want to know how to boost my laptop performance for the lowest price. Is there much to do after upgrading to 8 gigs of RAM and a Samsung SSD? Also is there anyway to upgrade a MacBook Pro early 2011 2.0 GHz i7 Graphics card?

    you run into the limits of XP and built in graphics.
    I would hope that you found in all these years how to install and get new moddified gpu drivers.
    XP is limited and is 32-bit where each app gets 2GB address space also.
    Windows 7 64-bit (or 8 even free for now to test out) otherwise wait to buy a new Mac.

  • How do I use an iPhone with an iMac and a MacBook Pro?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4S. I will be travelling and would like to sync my iPhone with the iMac or MacBook, depending on where I am.  I am on the cloud and manage my music manually. I'd like to be able to sync and download app updates via iTunes. Currently I sync via the iMac, will I lose my music if I attempt to sync the iPhone with the MacBook?
    Thanks (and, yes, I know there is an obvious answer somewhere but I can't find it)
    Kron Dos

    I was afraid of that. That's why I posted the question before trying to sync and losing everything. Too bad as I just bought a MacBook Pro and would really like to have mirrored devices across the board. Either Appke's technology isn't up to it or they have some obscure secrecy reason to prevent it.

  • How do you get an audio CD to play on a MacBook Pro?

    I've actually looked around the site and see others have had the same problem with their mac, unfortunately I don't have the technical expertise or the time to get stuck into the long winded and confusing steps required to sort this problem. There is no option for me to email an Apple worker and I didn't particularly want to post this here, but it seems it's either this or wait two days to have Apple call me... Not what I want at all.
    I have a Macbook Pro 13" late 2011, running OSX 10.7.2, which is two months old and in perfect condition. I upgraded from a Toshiba Satellite which cost me under £300 in 2008 and was excellent when it came to playing CDs... Funnily enough.
    After paying £999 on an admittedly fantastic laptop I am rather appalled that such an expensive piece of kit would be incapable of playing audio CDs when iTunes seems to be one of the largest selling points of the Macintosh. I am wondering if this fault is intentional as it may force iTunes users to resort to the iTunes store rather than importing CDs?
    I'm not expecting a solution to be posted on this thread, at least not one which I am capable of utilising, this is merely an attempt at venting my frustration over the issue seeing as I can't find an option to email Apple directly.
    However if anyone reads this and knows of a solution that doesn't involve buying any extra kit (£999 seems to be enough for something to play CDs) or require in depth know-how  then that would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Byron

    Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.
    My settings are to open iTunes when an audio CD is inserted and in iTunes my settings are to import it.
    With all due respect I'm unwilling to entertain the idea that my drive is faulty, it's only been used a couple of times (plays DVDs perfectly, and I've doubled checked that tonight after the computer failed to recognise audio CDs) and the laptop itself so far has been thoroughly well looked after.
    I've looked around the net and there seem to be plenty of people with the same problem as me, it seems unlikely that their machines were all shipped with faulty drives.
    From what I understand it seems to be that audio CDs that have the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo printed on the box have no problem playing on a Mac but CDs without that logo will not show up in iTunes or Finder. But going through my collection of CDs none of them seem to have the logo printed on them so perhaps that's an old standard? In which case this issue is a major shortfall of the Macintosh. However my opinion is far from expert and in any case I'm just speculating. The whole issue is confusing and frustrating and I do thank you very much for taking the time to post your help.
    Best regards
    Byron
