[iTunes/iOS] 12 days of Christmas App for the Mac users?

Hai,
I'm a little bit confused right now, so maybe you guys/girls could help me out.
I have an iPod 2nd gen, past year I could download the 12 days of christmas app for my iPod, but now I can't anymore, that's a pity! - Apple, everyone is a user for your products, everyone has paid. Please fix this.
But, for those who haven't a iPod or iPhone, they could download the apps and the music from the Mac App Store, source: MacRumors.com:
'For those without an iOS device, Apple says to come back to iTunes on December 26th to download gifts from your computer. Though the U.S. customers are excluded from this promotion, App Store developers frequently use the holidays to hold sales on their apps. AppventCalendar is another daily free app promotion that has already started daily app freebies.'
But I don't really understand this. There isn't a app in the Mac App store like this, and 'to come back to iTunes on December 26th' Why? There isn't an app?!
Help me!

pdroth, Yes, I am aware that only the pilot is free. I did find it and downloaded it but my next question is that when it was done downloading it said "your purchase is complete" This better not have charged me. Did it?

Hi...
If you are referring to iBooks on iOS based devices, no, they cannot be read on the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.

3rd part subtitling apps for the mac

Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party subtitling app for the Mac, preferably free? OR if all else fails a free PC app?
I am looking at Bell Nuit, but from reading their material I can only get graphical files, instead of a single subtitle file.
This is my first project with DVD Sp and of course it involves subbing 10 minutes of conversation heavy video, so if you have any tips I would greatly appreciate those, and I look forward to being part of this great board!

You can always subtitle directly in DVD-SP (though it 's not recommended it might be appropriate in this case with a short film).
STL Edit is probably the cheapest Mac solution. On the PC there is Subtitle Workshop which is free...

Why do they make apps for iPhone and dont make matching apps for the mac?

So I lovvvvveeee my MacBook Pro! I have wanted one for many years and finally got to get it. I have also been a iPhone user for many years, sense the 2nd. one came out. I have a huge issue though! I love all the different types of apps that they both have. I just dont get why it is that you can use a app for the iPhone that doesn't crossover to my Mac. That is so dumb! If they make it for one product say the iPohne then they should make it for all of them! Why don't they do so?????

Hi Jenn,
I see you already had a discussion about this and its really terrible that newsstand isnt there, but i thought I might share a few apps that do exist on both ios and mac in order to sync the two or atleast make your iphone a bit more of a sidekick to your mac or viceversa as I faced the same problems (some of them are stock apple apps but they are the best solution in my opinion).
Calendar: Use the normal reminders and calendar apps on the iphone and mac, they do a neat job syncing up
Browser: Chrome, you do need to have a gmail account for this but icloud for safari isnt as good as chromes syncing for your bookmarks and open tabs and saved passwords.
To Do lists: Wunderlist/Producteev, I suggest two here because both are excellent with the former more aesthetically appealing but the latter allowing for more functionality
Mail: Mail for Mac is generally good, but the syncing here is achieved by setting up as IMAP so make sure you always setup all your accounts as IMAP.
Notes: Dashnote, the stock notes on Mac are a bit inaccessible at times and you often lose them, so i suggest using dashnote, please note that dashnote is a widget in the dashboard on the mac and not a dedicated program but it is an app on ios
Music: Stream to me / itunes match, both of these are paid services but they allow you to share your music across both the iphone and the mac and they seem to be worth it for the price
News articles and interesting weblinks: Pocket, not a lot to say except for that its nice
Storage, and arguably a good way to read pdfs and docs on your iphone: google drive/skydrive
Messaging: Apple messages, skype
There are many more apps but these are just the ones i know and use. Hope you find some of these apps handy.

You'd be more likely to get a useful answer if you explained how the built-in Contacts application fails to meet your needs.

Anyone recommend an email app for the Mac

No. I don't use Entourage. You will find other email applications at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Will there be an iTunes U app for the mac?

I am considering ditching my Ipad for a MacBook Air with the extended battery life. With Mavericks coming, most everything I can do on the Ipad, I will be able to do on the Mac...with the exception of handwriting (which I can do without) and Itunes U. Itunes U is great and I would like the functionality of the app on my Mac. Will that ever be coming?

Hi cdgrammer!
I have an article here that may help answer your question:
iTunes U: Frequently asked questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5100
Specifically, this is the section I considered relevant:
Can I download from the iTunes U catalog using my computer?
Yes, you can browse and download from the iTunes U catalog on your computer, but some content may only be available using the iTunes U app.
This content can be found in the iTunes Store, which is accessed through iTunes on your computer. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow. I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day. There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
here are some of the things I'd love to see:
- support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
- an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
- industry compliant tagging
- robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
- robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
- global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
- integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
- integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
- an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out. Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
- integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac. I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
So, yeah, somebody get on this.

Multiple instances of the same BSP app for the same user

Hi,
I currently have a BSP application which has a main page which consists of three frames. Each of the frames within the page is linked to its own controller, with one other controller controlling the whole page.
due to the nature of the program i need to access information from one controller in another. To do this I create a reference to the controller whose data I want within the controller that needs access to it. This works fine under normal processing, however when the application is executed / called up twice by the same user, the controllers for the initial instance of the application are de-referenced...
Does anybody know why this may be occurring...and how to get around it?
Thanks
Mike Law.

Whenever you open a browser anew, then there is no session data that the browser can send in any way whatsoever, therefor a new session on the server is started.
If you open a new window from within the first session this might not be the case, you can run multiple windows in the same session.
Either way, I would recommend to search the forum, there have been discussion about this (or a similar) topic, e.g. accessing the same model instance - it would be best if you look for them, read them, and if you have any questions left come back for more
Cheers,
Max

Can I use my account to buy an app for another Mac user?

I'm a registered user in the UK and have bought apps there. I'm currently in New Zealand and my hosts are Mac users. I want to buy them some software as a gift and install it on their machine, not mine (mine is back in the UK anyway). Is there any way of doing this?

Somehow I did it! After being rejected when I tried to sign in with my Apple ID on the grounds that I wasn't in the UK, the App Store offered my Pages in UK currency. I gave my password again and Bingo it started to download Pages into my friend's Mac. I think this is some kind of loophole, but it does appear to have worked. I am slightly puzzled about how I got here, but I did...

Is there not an app similar to the iTunes movie trailer app for the mac? i perviously owned a macbook pro and had a built-in app for movie trailers this was one of my favourite parts of the mac system.

i am trning to find the movie trailer app that was built in on my late model macbook pro. if this isnt still an option, i would like to know my other options.

There is a way to see (in small window) short bits and parts of video movies, where they exist, in the iTunes application from the store page in there. My older Mac with earlier version of iTunes lets me browse Music, Movies, TV stores, from the sections on the iTunes application; years ago there was more direct content. They used to have a site page for some of those clips... I haven't looked lately.
A screenshot of a video clip ^ from the iTunes Movie store, via iTunes in my Mac.
If you browse the items for sale/rent, a few have a tiny triangle on them and this opens the little window where a preview runs. A few actual movies will have an option to see a preview or trailer-like video in a similar small window that opens up over the store screen.
The older iTunes application in earlier Mac systems had various other features. In order to view movie trailer kinds of content streamed from the internet, you may have to look into a third party application or a web page.
There may be a list of applications included with certain models of Mac portables
and if you can find that name, that may be a talking point. The Store has lists of
what software may be included in the most recent Macs in each products info.
{There was no mention prior to your reply...
that you did not want to make movies, btw.}
Good luck & happy computing!

I have store credit in iTunes but want to buy an app for my mac from the App Store. How can i use the store credit?

So i redeemed an Apple gift card worth £70 to my itunes account but i want to use it in the App Store to pay towards Logic Pro X. I can't find a way to transfer the credit, or find any evidence that its spendable in the app store.
Has anyone had the same problem?

When you purchase iTunes content, the balance from your gift card will be deducted automatically.
You can check the balance of a redeemed card here > Account Home - Apple Store

Wow, for the Mac Users in the house... check it out.

You gotta check this out.

WOW. That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
BTW, I lost track of many, many hours using your

It's a LOT of fun! Great job!

HT201359 What does it mean when a purchase is billed to "store credit"? Is it one of those iTunes gift vouchers? Only reason I ask is because I downloaded Ken Follit's FREE book from the 12 days of Christmas app and seem to have been charged 10.99 for it!

Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.
