Hi..
Apps that run on your Mac (OS X) cannot run on an (iOS) device such as iPads and iPhones.
Two different operating systems.

If I've bought an app for iPad which also is available for iPhone, can I then download it for free on my iPhone?
If it is exactly the same app then you can re-download it for free - all your previously purchased apps (that are still available in the store) should show in the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app on the iPad, or in the Purchased link on the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes . If the app doesn't appear in Purchased then you haven't previous purchased it with that account. The '+' indicates that the app is a 'universal' app i.e. it has processing within to detect what device it is on and will tailor it's screen display accordingly (so it will make use of the larger iPad screen and not just use an iPhone sized portion of the screen).

Xfinity X1 App for iPad, and iPhone show Out of Home
Keep getting Out of Home message from apps even though I am connected to WiFi and all other apps and services work. Getitng bounced around Xfinity support now holding for the 7th person at Xfinity now...... Have been sent to Internet, Wifi Gateway support, Xfinity TV, Internet support, and now to application department. Is there anyone in Comcast/Xfinity that knows what their applications do?

Well if it is known problem, then perhaps someone in the "brain trust" should notify their front line support personnel of the issue rather than treating them as cannon fodder for unhappy customers. What gets me most upset with the level of support from Xfinity/Comcast is just this type of issue. If the front line support personnel were given this information then I would not have had to speak with 8 (yes that is eight) different people who could not provide any answers, sent reboot commands to the cable modem, did not even know the X1 application existed, wanted to know which TV I was having the problem on, asked me for my address, and generally wasted more than an hour of my time! So, at this point, they are allegedly having a "Level 2" support person call me this afternoon. Should I anticipate that no call will ever come? If there is anyone from Xfinity/Comcast that monitors this board, I would greatly appreciate your insight...This was posted in the X1 Forum area @ 11:50am this morning: The teams have identified the issue and services should be restored throughtout the day. It may take several hours for the ip addresses of the impacted users to be refreshed. -
I installed the new iOS for iPad and iPhone now I can't connect to wifi
I installed the new iOS6 and when I try to connect to wifi it directs me to a non-active link on apple.com and doesn't let me go anywhere from there.
go to settings>Safari>Turn on Private Browsing
make sure to close all browers.
Connect to your wifi
then you can turn off private browsing if you want. -

ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong
I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4. I put iOS5 on both of them. My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices. I did this and the apps do not push to my other device. I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters. I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot
I believe you are misunderstanding. You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this. There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it. However, this is for new downloads only.
For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes. Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps. -
I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?
The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date -
I purchased apps for Ipad and can't find them
I had purchased an ipad and bought a bunch of apps for it, and was hoping some would transfer over to our new Mac if possible - but there is no trace of me purchasing them except on my bank statement. Where did they go? They are not on my "purchases" list.
I have never used the Mac App store but I am pretty sure that iPad apps can only be purchases in iTunes or on the iPad itself. There are some iPad instructional apps in the Mac App Store. Is that what you mean?
If you purchase something from the Mac App Store - without knowing for sure because I've never used it - I would guess that it downloads to the downloads folder on your Mac?
iPad apps would transfer from the iPad into your itunes library on the Mac when you sync, but frankly I am pretty confused by what you actually did and what you want to know. -
I cannot find the Kindle reader app for iPad and when I click on the link from Amazon there is an error on iTunes
Are you in the US? Not all apps are available in all countries. There is no way to download anything from a website, like Kindle. If it's not in your App Store, you won't be able to have it.

It got A new router today and wanted to turn on apple tv but my remote app on iPad and iPhone will not recognize apple tv. Btw- I do not have apple tv remote.
It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.
