Apps that run on an IOS device such as your iPhone cannot run on the Mac OS X and vice versa. Two different operating systems.

    How, exactly, did you obtain this app?  iOS apps are not available in the Mac App Store.
    Do you mean that you got it from the iTunes App Store, via iTunes. and it's now in your iTunes app library?  In that case, syncing your phone with iTunes will transfer it to the phone

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

    Whenever I updated or downloaded a new app from the App Store, a message appears saying:
    "Account Not In This Store
    Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Swedish. store before purchasing."
    I made some research online and asked a few of my friends with the same problem. All they did was sign out of iTunes from settings>iTunes & App Stores or from the App Store itself and signed back in. It worked for many of them but not with my iPhone 4s. It really does get on my nerves to always sign out and back in to the App Store as it sometimes works and allows me to update and download or most of the time it doesnt.
    When viewing my Apple ID account on my iPhone (after entering the password) it either views my account or says:
    "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the U.S. iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store. Try your purchase again."
    So I press on OK then either switches me to the App Store app of its choice, or says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
    I tried restoring iOS6 hoping it was a bad installation, but i still have the same problem.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
    If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

  • Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • Hi, I still use an iPhone 4, ever since my recent update of iOS I cannot purchase apps from the App Store, and a message keeps appearing saying that, 'this item cannot be purchased from the US store, and please switch to the Malaysia store''.

    I keep getting this message when I try to update my apps and when trying to purchase new apps from the App Store. I checked my iTunes ID and it turns out that the country shown there is the one that I am actually living in. And it is the same as my billing address, but when I tried to update my apps again, I keep getting this message, 'you are not eligible for purchase of this item from the US store, please switch to the Malaysia store'. How do I solve this issue.
    Besides ever since I updated my phone iOS it has started misbehaving, quite irritably at times. Dropped calls, slow typing, apps open very slowly, apps cannot be updated with prompts coming up like, this app cannot be updated now, please try again. I had to delete quite a few apps and reinstall them again. I had a trouble free experience with this phone till now, but is apple losing its magic. 

    Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
    Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
    Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
    Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
    If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

  • How to get a Previously purchased app  from the App Store from a different account on the same computer?

    Recently had to replace my hard drive and some info has gone missing.  An App from the App Store for one.  How can I get it back now that I have a new account?  It wont let me sign on with the old one anymore.

    There's no need to create a new Apple ID just because the hard drive was replaced.
    Apps can only be re downloaded using the same Apple ID they were purchased with originally.
    You will have to re purchase the app using the new Apple ID.

  • I recently changed my e-mail address and have made the changes in my Apple account. But when I try to purchase an app from the App Store on my ipad, the sign in cue still shows my old e-mail address rather than my new one.

    Hi there. I am having difficulty buying apps from the App Store. I recently changed my e-mail associated with my apple account. when i try to purchase an app, the cue to sign in does not show my new e-mail, but still shows my old e-mail. when I put in my password, it does not work because my password is no longer associated with the old e-mail address. i don't understand why my old e-mail still shows up. Can someone help me?

  • HT1689 How can I get a refund on a purchased app from the App Store?

    I purchased an app from the App Store and did not get an email receipt.  After opening the app, I found it didn't do what I thought it was designed to do.  I can't seem to find out how to get a refund from my recent purchase.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Is there a way to access purchased apps from the app store on windows computer? For USB boot drive

    Having a problem with my Macbook (13", Late 2009 I believe) after attemption to update iOS to OS Mavericks. Have run into the grey screen of death, and have almost exhausted all options, including reseting pram, accessing fsck, and even using disk utility to reinstall the iOS. I believe that during the initial update (which is the root of the problem), there was some corruption within the directories which I believe can be contributing to my problem.
    I was hoping to find a way to access my purchased apps from the app store on a windows computer so that I can make a USB boot drive in order to rule out the hardware problem that I am currently speculating.
    Please advise, thanks in advance!

    Yes if you have the iPod and iTunes set up to sync via wifi. However, you have to do it from your one syncing computer and the iPod and computer have to be on the same network.

  • HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening

    I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with.  This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

  • I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at  no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

    I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at  no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
    I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
    I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
    Please help !!! 

    Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

  • How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

    How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

    Coupons as in iTunes Store Gift Cards? If you go to the iTunes store tab, there should be an option to "Redeem" in the Quick Links section on the right side of the home screen. Enter the code there to redeem the credit, and then download whatever you wish from the store.

    You cannot.
    The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

  • I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store,  without any problems.

    e-mail:         iTunes store uk

    subject:         iPad Problem
    Sirs,
    I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store, without any problems. Last week, however, receiving a prompt that updates were available, I logged on hoping to update, which resulted in the following window:
    >Account not in this Store.
    Your account is not valid for use in the US Store.
    You must switch to the UK Store before purchasing.<
    I have done nothing to facilitate this change in stores and have  no way of knowing how to switch back to the UK store.
    This is a recent development, I have not had any problems connecting to the UK store before, in fact it happened automatically. Can the fact that I am not actually in the UK now but spend most of my time in Indonesia? This has not effected my purchases from the UK store before, however.
    Please help.
    Best regards,
