Launchpad:  Are iphone apps usable

Is this only for organizing apps or can you actually have access, open and use iphone apps on your computer.  I'm assuming the apps would be synched ?!?  There is an iphone app I would love to be able to use on my computer. 
Thanks

Having said that, some of the more famous apps have created support for your computer, however it is unlikely they talk between each other/sync though depending on the app, they might. your best bet is searching for the app you want in the app store on your computer and cross your fingers they made something for the computer platform.
Things like Twitter and Angry Birds are available.
If you see a good use for the App on your computer, then you might want to contact the people who make it. Most of the time, they're very good and replying to your queries on trying to make support for new platforms.
hope this helps.

  • How are iphone apps distrubted to the 5 devices of the developer program?

    I know I can authorize up to 5 devices for my developer program. But how exactly are those apps distributed? I have a member of the team who will be offshore. Do the devices have to physically connect to my dev machine that is loaded with SDK? Do I send over the .app or something? Or does he have to install SDK and build from source?

    They will not need to do development, only testing. My only option is ad-hoc? Are the files sent to him? What are the other distribution methods?

  • Are iPhone app's able to work on iPod touchs?

    I have been trying to get angry birds on my 1 and 1/2 year old macbook pro, but I can't seem to find that app anywhere. Also, I have an iPod touch and am wondering if I download the iPhone app will it work on my iPod?
    Thanks

    Most iPhone apps work on the iPod touch.  You have to look at the description to see if it is compatible with an iPod touch and the momodel/gneration iPod you have and it iOS.  The Angry Birds app for the iPhone says it is also applicable to iPod touch with iOS 3.0 or later.

  • Ipad won't automatically download iphone apps

    I have an iphone and an ipad.  Both sync with the same computer (an Imac).  I usually use my iphone to download apps while the ipad is powered off.  I want tthe iphone apps to automatically download to the ipad when the ipad is connected to my home wifi network (Apple Extreme)
    I have many iphone apps in itunes (on the computer) that will not sync or download automatically using the wifi. 
    The apps are stored on the icloud, but they won't download automatically to the ipad either.
    I see the apps in the "Purchased" section of the Itune Store app.  They are "Iphone apps not on my ipad".  I have to select them one by one which is a pain. 
    The ipad will not sync the same apps to the ipad when it is synced to my home computer.
    Is there a way to download or sync all those iphone apps automatically?
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You can turn on automatic downloads 'on' on the iPad in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6).  And/or when connected to your computer with the iPad selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Apps tab under the list of apps there should be a tickbox for automatically syncing new apps - if that is ticked then each time you connect the iPad to your computer it should install any new apps that are on your computer.

  • Do iphone apps require access to my network?

    I juat bought a new android phone.  All of the apps that I have tried to load from the google play store require access to my network and contact lists that they do not need to run the app.  I still have time to switch carriers and change to an iphone.  Are iphone apps less intrusive?

    Some apps require Internet access, many do not. Without knowing what apps you would wish to run, there's no way we can say with certainty whether the situation you'd encounter on an iPhone would be significantly different, though Apple enforces much higher levels of restriction on when and how an app can access your personal data such as contacts info.
    You may be able to get more information and opinions if you ask in the iPhone forum rather than here in the iTunes for Mac forum. The more specific you can be regarding the apps, or at least the type of apps, you'd be interested in, the more detailed an answer you'll be likely to get.
    Regards.

  • App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row.

    App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row. Even when I go to the specific app and press Update, the update begins to install then aborts with this error message.iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1. Also very long delay typing each keystroke in this message.

    That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

  • I can't find older emails in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT I am able to see them on my Mac Mail version of email. sent emails are OK.

    ... for the past few months i have noticed that emails in my inbox Yahoo mail account older than a few weeks keep disappearing. i cannot find them in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT i can see them on my Mac Mail version of email. Emails that i have stored into folders in my yahoo account are still there... same with my sent emails... it's just the Inbox emails.. strange, very strange. I don't know how to 'move' the emails from my Mac Mail  back to my Yahoo account.

    Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

    I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • What are the apps featured in the new iPhone 5 TV AD?

    The new ad for iphone 5 featured a terrific apps for singers, please help me to find what apps are. Are those apps goor for ipad as well?

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • My iPhone 4 with cash card is slowly emptying the balance of the card. Only Wi-Fi is normally ON, most other things OFF. Are the Apps responsible for this, or is something wrong with the phone itself? How can I stop the "thief"?

    I have this exact same problem. One solution is having your friends change their fake aliases on Facebook to their real bloody names, but I realise this is no easy fix.

  • I can't find musics or movies on Itunes store. There are just iPad and iPhone apps. No musics or movies. Just iPad and iPhone options

    When I start the itunes store, there are two options on the screen: iPhone and iPad (iPad came set as default). So, when I search musics or movies, I can't find nothing, just some iPad and iPhone apps.
    What can I do to find and buy musics and movies?
    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am new in the mac world.
    Thanks for the attention.

    Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

  • My IPhone 3GS Display is backwards all my writing is backwards way around so are my apps (Like a mirror image)

    Hi Hope sombody can help me please..
    My IPhone 3GS Display is backwards all my writing is backwards way around so are my apps
    (It's like a mirror image) When I put my phone near a mirror everything is displayed fine.
    I now have to leave my phone on all the time cos if I press my top button it will display backwards again and then I after keep pressing it loads of times. I have got the latest updates and I have re-booted my phone from scratch I'm running out of ideas. I have phoned Apple up and they have just told me to press my home button down with the other one to re-start it. No Joys :-(
    This phone is not jailbroken,I'm on 02 pay as you go it was bought from new 2 years ago from the 02 shop.

    Sounds like it's dying.  Bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty exchange for $149 or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap.... I'm confused ...

    Any thoughts on this , I'm worried that someone has cloned my device Id  and is phishing , or would there be just a major glitch in the GPS ? I have turned off the location app and turned it back on to see if it was a glitch still comes up to the same location about 100 miles way to a place I have never been.  Help !
