Is it possible to install an app obtained via a MicroSD card or Bluetooth?

Suppose I'm in an area where there is very little Wi-fi or other internet access (e.g. rural Papua New Guinea).
Or, an area where the internet is strictly controlled or monitored. So the Marketplace is not an option.
People around me are using their cheap cell phones to share photos via bluetooth, and music and videos via SD cards.
Question: can I also distribute an app via MicroSD card or Bluetooth?
I've tried this with some Java phones and found that installing an app from either of those sources is disallowed.
What about on FirefoxOS?
The Firefox OS web site says you can update the OS from an SD card.
One of the FAQ's at http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZTE-OPEN-C-3G-Unlocked-Firefox-Smartphone-Cell-Phone-Dual-Core-GPS-WiFi-AT-T-/291243074570?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43cf70a40a suggests that you cannot install an app from an SD card, at least on a ZTE Open C.
But I'd like to get more of a horse's-mouth answer, if possible.
Is this something that Firefox OS leaves up to the discretion of each phone manufacturer?
Or is it considered such a security risk that Firefox OS will not allow it on any phone?
Thanks,
Lars

Hi, huttarl!
Beyond the Firefox Marketplace, your options for distributing apps are unfortunately rather limited.
To my knowledge, Firefox OS does not support any Bluetooth/microSD card app installation. However, you can install an app to a phone by connecting the phone to a computer via USB cable. This is often used by developers but may suit your needs: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager See this article on the Mozilla Developer Network].
I hope that helps! Please feel free to post back with more questions.

Hi mncazzaro,
Furthering on from Ztuka, this limit is set for paid applications. You can re-download it up to 10 times by signing into Nokia Store and accessing My Stuff. In case you have lost any purchased content items in your My Stuff, for example because the item has been unpublished and removed from Nokia Store, please contact Nokia Care for further assistance (http://nokia.com/support and choose Contact Us). Give a short problem description, your Nokia account username and the name of the content item you wish to re-download.
Note that your new device must be compatible with your previous downloads.
If you have further issues with this, try the following:
Check your settings in application manager and make sure that "Software Installation" should be set to "All" and "Online Certificate check" to "off ".
Alternatively, you could try a workaround by downloading the apps on your computer and syncing it through data cable.
Hope this helps and please report back with your outcome.

A user account specific issue like this has me wondering if there's an issue with the iTunes preference files in your son's Windows user account, renee. (There's a different set of those in each different account. So a preference file issue can cause trouble in one user account but not another.)
Even if you're not getting a -50, perhaps try the following document:
[iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3288]
(Adjusting the Parental control preferences should be done inside your son's Windows user account. The command line technique can be done from within either account.)

How do I install an App on 200 iPods for University Students

What kind of options are there for installing the same app (a free app) on 200 different iPod Touches?
We have 200 new iPod touches that we need to get into the hands of 200 nursing students. We would like to load the Skyscape Resources app on each of the iPod Touches before giving them to the students.
We have a computer lab with 50 windows xp computers. Each student has their own network login.
So, is it possible to install the app for the students ahead of time or do they each need to create / sign into their own iTunes account first? Do they then have to use that same computer whenever they want to sync or can they use any of the computers in the lab?
How do I do this?
Thanks ahead of time for your consideration in this matter.

Hopefully you already know about Apple's Education websites; but in case you don't start at http://www.apple.com/education
http://www.apple.com/education/leaders-administrators/mobile-learning.html may be a starting point to address your issue. I know at a recent NSBA (National School Boards Association) I attended there was a presentation on using touches in the classroom. Good luck!

Installing Oracle Apps 11.5.9 on Fedora Core Release 1

Hello.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows whether it's possible to install Oracle Apps. 11.5.9 on Fedora Core Release 1 or anyone who has already installed Oracle Apps. 11.5.9 on Fedora Core Release 1.
If so, do you have any advise, do's/don't etc...
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Vandana.

Vandana,
If you check for all documents, the wordings used will be "11i is certified on Linux x86". However, note that this always means RedHat AS or ES. Fedora is not certified.

Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet?

a mobile version of the OS but not on the parent OS? Kindly explain if you can!

Is it possible to install apps on an external drive?

Hi.
I'm leasing an Imac for 2 years, and then can trade it in for the next generation.
Rather than have to re-install the apps, is it possible to put them on an external thunderbolt or 800 firewire drive?
Thanks.

Most applications only install on the boot drive, though with some it's possible to move them after installation, or to choose where they install. The best approach is probably to just install them on the boot drive as normal, then clone your entire hard drive to an external drive when it comes time to upgrade your system. You can then use Migration Assistant to move your applications, settings and documents from the external drive to your new system, or just clone it back (assuming that the version of Mac OS X on the
Note though that in two years, it's quite probably that your current applications will need to be upgraded to be compatible with the version of Mac OS X then available - certainly 10.7 Lion and perhaps even yet a newer version by then - and you'll quite possibly need to reinstall at least some the applications anyway.

HI Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
Thanks

Is it possible to install App Store apps without an internet connection?

My wife and I both use the same Apple ID for everything. If she were at home, this would be a no brainer; but she is now stationed in Afghanistan. She currently does not have access to the internet.
So...is it possible for me to download some games from the app store then copy them to a jump drive so that she can install them on her lap top over there? Her new laptop was 'authorized' through our iTunes account before she left the states.
Thanks for your assistance.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Simple drag & drop apps that are mostly what are available in the Mac App Store (MAS) should be fine to burn to CD/DVD or a USB thumb drive and install on another Mac. I would test the apps to make sure that it works for those that you wish to send to her.
I wouldn't put any weight to the BS about fine print. Apple's terms of use for the MAS are that you can install the apps on all of the Macs that you own or that are in your control. There is no restriction on the location of those Macs; home or office, USA or Afganistan!

Is it possible to update an old version of 10.4.11 to a newer version on my ibook? and to install the app store?on my ibook

Can anyone help me update my old ibook version 10.4.11 to the latest version and possibly be able to install the app store on it?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
Back up your data before upgrading. No iBook can have the Mac App Store installed onto it.
