You can't open iPod touch, iPad and iPhone apps on the Mac. They use different operating systems that need different applications, so it's not possible to use your iPhone apps.
Instead, you have to look for other applications in the Mac App Store or the Internet, because you can install applications from wherever you want

  • ITunes 11.0.2 is forcing me to sync apps from my iPhone into my Mac AGAIN. This is the new version of iTunes so there is no option to uncheck syncing Apps- how do I stop it from copying apps into my Mac?

    I'm using iTunes 11.0.2 on my Macbook Air running Lion, to sync with my iPhone 5. With this latest release of iTunes, there's no option to uncheck syncing of apps. For a while now, iTunes have been working fine- it didn't sync apps from my iPhone to my Mac... until this morning. I only have Podcasts sync checked and every day, I just plug in my iPhone and click Sync and it worked great- it only copied my podcasts to the phone.
    Today, I did the same thing- downloaded new podcasts, plugged in my phone, and clicked Sync. It backed up my data, copied my podcasts, and THEN it starts to copy all the apps from my iPhone into my Mac. This is the first time it's doing this- I'm sure the team removed that feature from this latest iTunes and I think this is a bug. I unchecked the Apps checkbox from Library in Preferences- I click sync, and again it starts to sync all the apps, AND the Apps checkbox becomes checked again.
    I've restarted iTunes many times and rebooted, didn't work.

    I have the same problem on both my iPad and my iPhone and it also started with iTunes 10.0.2.

  • Can i transfer my apps from my Iphone to my mac book pro--if so how??

    can I transfer my apps from my Iphone to my macbook pro???
    If so How??

    Depends on what you're saying...do you mean use the apps from your iphone on your Mac?  That is a no.
    If you mean can you back up your apps via iTunes and store them on your Mac...then yes you can.
    The How?  Sync via iTunes.

    Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

  • If I wanted to download my pictures from my iphone to my MAC without allowing upload from the MAC of old pics and without utlizing icloud how do I go about it? Thank you!

    Hi all!
    I was trying to download my pictures from my iphone to my MAC for storage so that I can erase them off my iphone but could not find an easy
    was to do this? The whole sync operation seems cumbersome and only allows you to upload photos from your MAC to your iphone - but that is the
    exact opposite of what I need! Also I have many pics so I don't want to use iCloud. All I want is just to take the pics from iphone and download
    them to my MAC? Am I asking for too much ? Can anyone help me?
    Cheers
    Yaniv

  • Are the apps from my iphone on my mac?

    If the apps from my iphone go to my mac through icloud, where are they on my mac?

    They would be in the iTunes App content library. They cannot be used on the Mac, only stiored.

  • HT201302 I have successfully downloaded my pics from my iphone to my mac, and they show having been downloaded, but I cannot view them.

    So I synched and downloaded all my pics from my iphone to my mac, and now for whatever reason I cannot actually see them.  I go into iphoto, itunes and cannot access them.  I see them in itunes and yet do not have th option to view.  Any ideas...?

    You'd need to create separate computer logins for each user.

  • I want to print photo's from my I3. They appear to be saved in photo cache but they wont open. Only way seems to be to e-mail to myself, any help?

    I can't print photos taken from my phone. After syncing they appear in a photo cache but wont open and the software from my printer can't do it either. Also tried searching and having Iphone plugged in whilst printing and the printer also can not find the phone to download.

    Photos taken with iphone are NOT part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

    Then follow the steps here:

  • I want to put my photos from my iPhone to the cloud but I don't want photos from the iCloud downloaded to my phone

    I want the photos from my phone to be uploaded to the icloud but I dont want photos to be downloaded to my phone.  Is there a way I can do that?  the photos are taking up too much space and I can't download the new IOS 6.

    If by 'Allfiles' you mean 'All My Files' then what you see is correct. The All My Files option under Favorites shows all the files in your user folder. All your documents, music, movies, pictures, everything. Under the View menu you have an 'Arrange By' selection that can arrange all your documents by what kind they are, by what Application owns them, or by name, date, etc.
    Since this isn't what you want, unselect 'All My Files' and choose the folder you want to see. BTW, those items under Favorites are user adjustable. You can drag a folder into that blue area under Favorites to add it to the Favorites and you can remove one by holding the Command key and dragging it from favorites into the desktop. You'll see the icon change into a cloud and when you release the mouse it will disappear.

  • My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

    My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

    You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
    You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

  • Why can't I download Apps from my iPhone to my Mac?

    When I synchronise I get a message that I have not authorised my computer and I get a list of Apps that cannot be downloaded. I realised I have 2 Apple IDs, one from my previous email account which I shut down 12 months ago and I must have created a new one when I got another phone 4s. So, it appears the Apps I can't download are those purchased via my new AppleID. I have now opened the sames iTunes on my phone but still nothing is happening. I do not have a wireless connection right now, but use a USB internet connection.

    When I started with my iPhone, I was adding contacts to the "On my iPhone" account because that was the default, and they didn't sync through the cloud. I changed the default account to iCloud and the new ones worked, but I don't think the old "on my iPhone" ones worked. Might have to export them and then import them. It's all fuzzy now and this was in IOS5.
