If I've already bought an app on my ipad, do I have to buy the same app again to use it on my Mac?

If I've already bought an app on my ipad, do I have to buy the same app again to use it on my Mac?

Ok... So, all my apps bought on my Ipad and Iphone that are compatible with the mac, i can just install on it with no additional cost...
If I get it right, thanks budy, you clear up my doubt!

  • If I bought Pages for my Mac, I have to buy the same application for the ipad

    I bought the application Pages for my iMac, I have to buy the same application for y Ipad also?

    Yes, the Mac Pages app is different than the iOS Pages app.
    Once you purchase Pages for iPad you can then use it on all your iOS devices (iPhone, iPod) but not on your Mac and vice versa.

  • I just want to kno how many time do I have to buy the same app?

    how many time do I have to buy the same app?

    You are going to have to articulate a little more clearly what your issue is. General statements like buying the same app every year is not helpful.
    What, exactly is your issue? What Apps are you having to buy over and over? If you cannot take the time to describe your problem fully and clearly, then we can't help you.

  • Why do you have to buy the same app on all devices?

    If you have multiple apple products like iphone, ipad, mac..ect. I understand the different versions of the OS but still, I would think they'd have a bundle price or something. I've had to rebuy the same apps over and over. Is there any way around this?

    Some apps are universal, most are not.
    As provided, these are entirely different platforms.
    Just as you would have to buy a movie twice of you wanted to watch it on a dvd player and a vcr.
    You would have to buy the same video game twice if you wanted to play on a Wii and a playstation.

  • HT1689 I bought an app on my iphone, and want to use it on my MacBook Air.  When I click on the icon on the MacBook, it won't open.  Do I have to buy the same app again for my MacBook Air?

    I bought a real estate app on my iphone.  I want to use it on my MacBook Air because of the larger screen.  I see the icon in my Itunes account, and when I click it to open it, it won't do anything.  Do I have to purchase the app again to use on my MacBook Air.  Thanks!

    The app you got only works with iPhones, iPods touch and iPads, but not with Macs. That's because Macs use a different operating system that requires different applications, so you have to purchase the application for the Mac

  • Why can't I use the app that I bought with my Apple ID on my ipad & iphone? why should I have to buy the same app twice???

    Please answer my questions.
    Thanks

    of course I am logged in with the same id of me on both my devices. and when I go to app store, and then purchased apps, I only am able to see the other applications but not the one that I bought some hours ago. This happening now for the second time with me. the first time I bought one app using my iphone and then couldn't find it through ipad, and now it is the same reversely.
    Normally it shouldn'tbe like this! but i dont know what is going wrong.

  • If I have apps like iwork- pages, numbers downloaded to my ipad do I have to buy the apps again to get them on my iMac? My iMac has the 08 version, my iPad the 09. I am trying to reconcile.

    Can I transfer apps from my iPad to my iMac- specifically I have iworks 09 on the pad, but 08 on the mac- I can't transfer documents to my iMac. Do I have to buy another copy for my mac or should i be able to use the app I purchased on the iPad? Please advise.

    You will have to purchase them for the Mac - the two operating systems are totally different and what works on an iDevice will not work on a Mac.

  • I re booted and lost all music and it wont show on the "purchased" in Quick links - but if I try to buy the same album again they ask "you have already bought this do you really want to but it again" well if I have bought it where is it them!!! grrrrrrr!

    Help!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • How do you get a playlist of music to work on the basic Photo App which comes with ipad 2 - to have to play the same tune over and over again with a slideshow is rubbish !

    How does one get a varity of music i.e a playlist to work on the standard Photo App which is shipped with Ipad 2  when using a slideshow ?

    if you have music in your library, when  tapping on slideshow a menu appears - Turn on music option.  when on a song should display below it - tapping it will take you to your library.
    Photo App will give you access to all albums as set in settings\Photo
    Camera - select camera roll - gives camera roll only but options for everything else
    Slideshow timings is under Settings\Photo

  • I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. the computer says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. how can I just get my files onto

    I am a first-time iPad owner/user. I bought a relative's original iPad. I want to leave the apps on it and add my own pdfs to read. My itunes account is really for my iPod. iTunes message says that if I "Sync" the iPad will be erase, and become like my iPods. If I make a new iTunes account, would the apps be erased when I tried to use it?
    How can I just get my files onto this iPad, and still have the apps that my relative left there for me?
    Thank you.

    iPads sync to 1 computer only.
    All media and apps are tied to the Apple ID that purchased them.
    Without your relatives ID and password, you cannot update any of the Apps.
    I am pretty certain he is also violating Apples terms of service by giving you the apps.

  • Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

    Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my purchases from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.
    And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
    So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
    What to do?

    Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town.  I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album.  They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing.  Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there.  So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
    If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it!  I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

  • HT1711 Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD play

    iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
    Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
    DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
    According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
    This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
    This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
    It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync.  See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.

  • If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??

    If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device?? 
    I'm asking because I purchased an app with an id that has been cancelled so I cannot update that particular app. I can purchase the app with my new id but I don't want to do so if its going to erase all the data I have with the previous purchase...

    Figured it out. Thanks.

    Check out your downloads and applications folders. Sometimes they get hidden.

  • I bought the CD of iWork's and have installed pages from it - to use version in Lion do I have to buy the app?? If I do, do I have to delete the other pages??

    I bought the CD of iWork's and have installed pages from it - to use version in Lion do I have to buy the app?? If I do, do I have to delete the other pages??

    All you need to do is run Software Update to make sure you have the iWork 9.1 update. It will update your existing installation of the three applications. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. Even if you think you'll never need all three of the applications, you cannot delete any. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
