How do I play a game I have downloaded to iTunes?

I can't figure out to actually play a game I have downloaded to iTunes.  Sorry, I am new to this, and I would like to play on a game on my desktop, but can't figure out how to do that.  Is there a way to save it to my desktop so I can just click on it when I want to play?

It sounds like you have downloaded a game from the App Store in iTunes. These Apps can only be run on iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods) and you can check the App's specifications on the info page in the App Store to see which specific devices the developers have made the game for.

  • When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

    When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine".  The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv.  The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since.  All my other downloaded films play.  I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7.  Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
    - itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
    - starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
    Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

  • How can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

    how can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

    Apps downloaded through iTunes will only run on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPads. Plug your device into your computer, open iTunes, and click on it in the bar either at the top or the left side. Then, click apps at the top, and click install next to the app you want installed.
    If you are looking for apps to run on your Mac, you need to download them through the Mac App Store, not through iTunes.

  • How can I play apps that I've downloaded with iTunes on my Windows laptop?

    I have downloaded the itunes for 64 bit windows, as my laptop is running windows8.1. Is there anyway I can play apps from apple itunes store or have I downloaded and installed the itunes software wasting my time for nothing. I downloaded Hay day, clicked on the icon in the itunes app but all it does is higlight it or if I right click it just gives my info as you would expect. Am i doing something wrong or just wasting my time, Thank you in advance

    Apps that you download via iTunes are designed for iDevices (iPod, iPhone, iPod). They will not work on any traditional computer.

  • HT4009 How can I remove/delete apps I have downloaded in iTunes?

    Hi,
    How can I remove/delete apps I have downloadedin iTunes?
    I have the Lite versions that I try and then buy the PRO version.
    Now all the LITE's are cluttering my account.
    Also some of the apps that I downloaded are not required/wanted now. Can I delete them?
    Thanks

    You can delete them from your computer's iTunes and/or from your device, but you can't currently permanently delete them from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding (the ability to hide items directly on a device doesn't appear to work in iOS 6)

    Go to the App Store on your iPad and search for Zynga games. Some are free (but you have to watch advertisements after each move) and some need to be purchased.

    I have a second generation I Pod touch.  How do I know which games I can download from the Apple Store?

    Hello, Suzanne. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Unfortunately there isn't a list available at this time for applications that are specific for your iOS/Software version.  However, once you know which iOS/Software version you have installed, you can browser various applications and look for ones that meet your system requirements.  I have included a screenshot below on how to look for this information.

  • 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.

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the itunes to my new pc.  How do I sync my Iphone without loosing everything??

    My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive.  I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer.   I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ????  Can someone advise?

    Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings:  Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone.  This will transfer your purchased items.
    For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility.  Find  discussion of them here
    Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge.  This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • HT4528 How do I attach a song I have downloaded to be the ringtone for specific contact

    How do I attach a song I have bought on Itunes to be a ringtone for a specifica number?

    You'll have to create a ringtone from it first as it is not in the correct format.  Do the following:
    Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes and, wait for the name of your phone to appear, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    If you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.
    Locate the song in your iTunes library, right-click on it, select "Get Info", on the Summary tab check if it says "Kind: Ringtone".  If it doesn't, then you must convert it to a ringtone, then sync it to your phone.
    Convert the song to a ringtone following this video as a guide: Create free ringtones with iTunes 10 video - CNET TV.
    Sync the ringtone to your phone by selecting it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings, then clicking Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  The ringtone should then be on your phone.

  • How do i install lightroom cc - i have downloaded the application but lightroom  5 still opens instead

    how do i install lightroom cc - i have downloaded the application but lightroom  5 still opens instead

    Lr5 will install on your computer just fine and the installation will not be "mixed up" with Lr3.
    Why do you think it's a mix of both?
    In case you are wondering because you sometimes see a different Basic panel in Lr5 and sometimes not, this is dependant on the Process Version (PV) of the image.
    With PV 2010 or 2003 Lr5 will display the same Basic panel (the same sliders) as Lr3; but when you update the photo to PV 2012 - or for newly imported photos - the Basic panel and the sliders will change to the new version.
    There is a flash icon below the histogram for images that don't have PV 2012. Naturally you can see and change it also in the Camera Calibration panel / Process version.
