I bought and downloaded PAGES on my iPAD.  Why can't I seem to use it on my iMAC? Isn't there a simple way to just share it from my iPAD to my iMAC?

As stevejobsfan said.  But also if your profile is correct and you are running system 10.7 on your iMac, you will not have much portability between the two either.  Think of them as 2 different programs that just happen to have the same name.
OS 10.9 Mavericks' version of Pages has greater compatibility with the app version of it.  But there are a lot of consequences to moving to Mavericks which should not be done lightly.  Read around a bit on it before making any decision to upgrade.

  • I bought and downloaded pages and the icon was on my screen.  It is now gone and i can't find it. Help!!

    I need help finding my Pages download.  I am new to Mac, I've always owned PC's.  When i go to the app store it confirms that I downloaded Pages last night.  I was actually trying it out last night.  Today the icon is gone and I don't know where to find it.

    Thank you, that worked.  do you know how i can make it stay as an icon with the rest of the icons?
    Or, While Pages is running, click and hold the Pages icon on the Dock and select Options > Keep in Dock.

  • Bought and Downloaded Bad Video...What can I do?

    I just downloaded the highlights from the 2006 Fiesta Bowl and the audio is out of sync from the video at the end of the clip. The beginning is fine, but the end is almost 2 seconds off. I know it's only $1.99 but I would greatly appreciate someway to either get a refund or, and more preferably, get a better copy of the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT1657 If I rent move and download it to my iPad 3 can I watch it later in a tunnel were there is no connection to the Internet?

  • When I download anything to my desktop why can I only open it using firefox

    I constantly save to my desktop. When I try to open either a folder , site, article etc I can only open it if I right click and open with Firefox

    Good news! I think reinstalling Firefox fixed the association between HTML files and Firefox. In the future, if it happens again, you can try the double switch of your default browser. In other words, change it to IE, then change it back to Firefox. Might not actually be quicker...

  • HT1657 If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad.

    If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad. Can I still watch it if wifi is no longer available?

    Normally once a rental has completely downloaded, you no longer need a connection to the iTunes Store to play the movie. Some people have, however, tried to play a rental and been instructed to connect to the iTunes Store. I have not been able to spot any pattern in when it works and when it doesn't, so all I can say is that it should work but may not. I know that's not a good answer, but it's the best I can provide. Perhaps someone else here will have better insight into the issue.
    Regards.

  • I bought and downloaded the Movie Hannah on my iPad, but it only plays about 2/3 and freezes... Is there a way to re-down load?

    I bought and downloaded the Movie Hannah on my iPad, but it only plays about 2/3 and freezes... Is there a way to re-down load?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged when I use my apple id. What should I have done to share the apps?

    I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.

    Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
    I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem.

  • An app I purchased and downloaded directly to my Ipad is missing and not in my app files on my PC.  When I go to the app store to re-download it I can not the says I have already downloaded it.  How do I get my app back?

    You should be able to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page - if that says that it's already downloaded, then that implies that it's already on your computer
