    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

    I don't know what generation of iPot touch I have. If I am unable to download my paid apps because my iPod is too old, I'm not going to be pleased.

    Sorry, there is no upgrade for your model based on what you've posted. See below:
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • If i have purchased garageband for Ipad... can i download the IOS version on my iphone 4 without paying again?

    If i have purchased garageband for Ipad... can i download the IOS version on my iphone 4 without paying again?
    Or do i have to pay again?
    thanks,

    If you've previously paid for the iOS version, you can. If you've previously paid for the Mac version but not the iOS version, you can't.

  • I recently had my computer stolen and not my purchases from I tunes store were backed up. I've been told there is a way that I can re-download my missing tracks from the store without having to pay for them again. Is this true, if so, how do go about it.

  • I can't download OS X Lion from the purchases tab in app store

    I bought a "new" used imac running Snow Leopard. I want to upgrade to OS X Lion that I have purchased in app store. I can see it in the list, but when I click on download, it keeps telling me to sign into the account you used to purchase it.......ummm I am...that's why I can see that I purchased it

    Hi,
    No, it is picking up my Apple id. I have re-entered it several times. It shows all the apps that I have purchased. It was a clean install, and I used Migration Assistant to move things over from my MacBook Pro. If I click on download on my Macbook Pro in the app store, it wants to re-download the app, which is strange in itself. I don't have any system discs with it. Although I do have a original disc of Snow Leopard. Just seems odd to me that I can't download Lion, but I can buy ML.
    Somewhere on a thread, I found where it says you can hold down the option key while clicking on purchases and that will be a work around....not for me. 
    And of course you can no longer purchase Lion, (even though I already did). It does give me the option to purchase Mountain Lion though.

  • TS2446 I am having problems with mt App Store. I can't download any free apps because it's telling me my Apple ID is disabled what can I do

    What can I do I have gotten the security problem solved so when can I start back downloading my free apps. And do I have yo give my credit card information in order to download free apps

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use.
    For the credit card, how was the account created ? Unless the instructions on this page were used when creating the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then you will need to enter credit card details before the account can be used to download any item from the store. If you do enter credit card details then you should be able to remove it afterwards : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918

  • I have leopard 10.5.8 can i download online snow leopard from the official apple store ?

    Hi there! I have Mac OSX 10.5.8. I really need mac osx snow leopard!!! 3 days ago a shop assistant in the offical apple shop said that i can dowload snow leopard from official apple site ? Can i? How?

    No. Snow Leopard comes on a DVD which you can buy from the Apple Online store. However, I can't find a store for Russia. Do you have access to Amazon? They're available from there also (usually). Around €30, R1250.
    The pack and front of the disc look like this -

  • My iPhone will not download more than 50mb from the app store.

    I have fast iPhone LTE unlimited service from my provider. If my download is larger than 50MB I have to switch to wifi. At work my wifi connection is 2.5MB and my LTE service is 20MB. How do I stay at the fast speed for the download?  Was this an oversite on apple's side?
    Waiting for help.

    it's supposed to be that way so you don't kill your data plan.

  • TS1424 apple id password on my iphone is different from my itunes password.  I am unable to update my apps on my iphone Can someone assist on updating apps.

    You are typing in the password for your iTunes account, not your email account ? If you are then try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Can't download OSX mountain lion from the app store

    I keep trying but the download wheel starts to spin then nothing...

    It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

  • Is there a way to download Logic Pro 9 from the app store, as I have already purchased the Logic Studio CDs?

    Hello!
    I purchased the Logic Studio CD set in a retail store two years ago or so, and I was wondering if there was a way to have the app store recognize this purchase so all I need to do is download Logic Pro 9 from the app store when I get my new iMac (without a disc drive) this month?
    Thanks much,
    Elliott

    Hi
    Short answer: No. You cannot convert "DVD" licences to Appstore ones.
    I'd suggest that you:
    Make Disk Images of the DVD's on your current Mac, and use those for future installs
    Make use of the "Remote Install"/DVD drive sharing feature
    Buy and External DVD drive
