I can't open the iTunes apps I've downloaded onto my Macbook

Hi.
I've downloaded a half dozen apps from iTunes onto my MacBook Air and I see them in my iTunes library under "Apps." But when I click on them nothing happens except that they get highlighted. That's it. I can't open them and use them. How do I open them up? There must be something simple I'm not doing. I've downloaded other apps and they're on my launchpad.

You cannot open them.
They are for iPhone/ipod touch/ipad.
Itunes sells no apps at all for your computer.

  • I can't open the iTunes app at all, it wouldnt even try to load it up.

    im trying to download music but I cant find the actual app anywhere on my phones I have also tried to open it via App Store and on the apple website but nothing is working.

    Hello JazminesWorld,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot locate the iTunes Store application on your iPhone. This application cannot be deleted and the following steps will help you locate it. 
    I would first suggest searching for the iTunes Store application using Spotlight search. If the application is located with Spotlight, then it is on your iPhone but maybe in a different spot that what is usual. It may have been move accidentally and I would advise checking every screen of apps and all folders of apps to locate iTunes Store. 
    Search with Spotlight - Apple Support
    If Spotlight search does not find the iTunes Store application, it may be restricted. Please use the attached article to make sure iTunes Store has not been restricted.

    Have a great day,

  • "You can't open the application App Store because it might be damaged or incomplete." Help?

    I'm not exactly sure what happened but for some reason my App Store won't open anymore. Every time I try the message "You can't open the application App Store because it might be damaged or broken" pops up. And for some reason iPhoto is completely missing from my Macbook today as well. How do I get these two back and in working condition again??

    I'm going by your profile v10.6.8
    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
    If necessary, you can re download iPhoto.

  • TS1368 I can not open the itunes store on my ipod touch

    I can't open the itunes store on my ipod touch after syncing. It starts to load and just stops. It does not give me an error message.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • TS1424 I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone to iOS 7.

    Hi there, could someone help me here please - I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7. The problem occurred about 5 days later after the upgrade. There are no error messages. As I tap on the icon it opens just for a fraction of a moment and then goes off and back to the main screen. Other apps are working just fine. I tried following the troubleshooting steps as suggested by apple support, but that didn't help unfortunately...
    Thank you

  • I can not open the mac app store from my macbook pro, I can not open the mac app store from my macbook pro, I can not open the mac app store from my macbook pro

    Help...
    I can not open the mac app store in any way from my mac book pro
    please help

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

    I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

    You might have two different things going on at once here.
    Starting with the registry settings message.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    I am having the exact same problem.  MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple.  After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
    My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged."  There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon.  Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion).  Did not work.  I also updated the software from "Software Update".  Rebooted.
    I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was.  I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
    Anyway, anymore ideas?  Even Apple is stumped.
    (In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

    Just did some more reading.  I was going by the icon in the dock.  When I checked in Finder, there it was, fixed and brand new!!  Thanks, anyway.

  • Can I open the Mail app without configuration an email address?

    I'm trying to open a .eml file, which seems possible in the Mail app.  However, I can't open the Mail app without configuration an email account.  I don't have an email account to configure; just want to open the file.  Or, let's suppose, I just wanted to browse the interface?  How to avoid the account setup part?

    Just enter anything short & plausible in as few fields as you can get away with : '[email protected]' works here, you'll get a brief 'not responding' or such at each stage, but it does allow you to use Mail.

  • I CAN'T OPEN THE "CONTACTS" APP

    Hello,
    Since I bought my iPad2 I can't open the "Contacts" app, when I try to open it just closes.
    And because of that I'm having problems to send emails.
    I just updated the software for the iOS 5.1, but the problem continues.
    Could you help me?
    Thanks!

    Hello King_Penguin, I tried to do it, but when I toggle the contacts "on" and merge it on iCloud, it returns automatically to "off" and exits the screen.
    Thank you.

    Having installed Aperture, iPhoto won't open. When I try it fails with the message "You can't open the iPhoto.app because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any help please?

    OK, fixed it.  Found that iPhoto is now BACK in the App store.
    Found iPhoto app in Finder and dragged it to Trash.
    Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.
    Didnt expect to find iPhoto in App store as last time I looked it wasn't available.
