System Requirements are too terse - Is this a limitation of the App Store?

Greetings. I've noticed that several games, like Borderlands, +Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare+, Trine, +Civilization IV: Colonization+, and a few others list Mac OS X 10.6.6 as their only system requirement. However, the "more" description reads out more detailed system specifications.
Is this a limitation on the amount of information developers can use to describe their apps in the App Store, or is this something the developers are doing out of preference?

The information is provided by the developers. Format is a restriction of the web site.

  • App Store requires 10.9 but I cannot download Mavericks without the App Store.  HELP!

    I did a fresh install of 10.6 and the upgrades got me to 10.6.8 but the included App Store from the upgrades requires 10.9.  I cannot download Mavericks without the App Store.  How do I find an old version of App Store or install Mavericks without the App Store?  HELP!

    Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
    From the drop down menu click:  About This Mac
    Double check to make sure you see: v10.6.8
    Make sure your Mac can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    Read prior to upgrading to Mavericks >  Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!

    I kept getting this upgrade prompt from the App Store to upgrade free to OS10 Yosemite. So I finally did on my 4 year old iMac and now it appears to be stuck just spinning on that stupid ball that means trouble and it is not progressing.  Anybody got any idea what I do now?  Thanks.

    I don't think you would get a thing from the App Store running 10.3.x on a PowerBook. It would help if you told us what you really are using and what version of OS X you were running.
    It would also help to tell us what the "stupid ball" is. In fact it would be a big help to give us a thorough and intelligible description of your situation so we don't have to guess.

  • I don't have iPhoto on my ipad or iPhone. Apple says these are free but it is $4.99 in the App Store?

    I don't have iPhoto on my ipad or iPhone. Apple says these are free but it is $4.99 in the App Store?

    They are free if you have activated a new iOS 7 compatible device since 1st September 2013. When did you buy and activate your iPad and/or iPhone ? If on or after that date then try logging out of your account on that device by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if it then shows as free on it

  • TS1702 None of my purchased apps are showing up in my purchased tab of the app store.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    None of my purchased apps are showing up under the purchased tab of the App Store.  I want to redownload one but discovered none of them were showing up.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    Yes, there have been a fair number of posts over the past few days from people with similar issues - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end.

  • How do you remove the "purchased" items in the "not on this iPhone" tab in the app store icon?

    I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone. These are apps that I tried and didn't like or didn't work or were useless or whatever. There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them. This is a waste of resources on the iPhone, iTunes and my efforts.

    "I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone."
    You cannot.
    "There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them."  it does not need to be logical to you for it to make sense.
    It is a history of ALL purchases.
    People would be complaining that they mistakenly deleted it and now could never get their app back.  The entire point is to have access to any and all past purchases.
    Maybe when the final product is released you will get your wish.

  • I love a game name Magic line on the first generation IPAD but now I can not download this Magic line on the app store for my new iPad Air. How can I transfer the game on OLD IPAD to my New IPAD Air ??

    I have a game name MAGIC LINE on my first generation IPAD which I can not find on APP store now. How can I transfer that game to my new IPAD AIR ??

    You don't say which store you are looking in but I found this in the US store:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/magic-line/id410551094?mt=8

  • Why can't i find this in iTunes or the App Store??

    i'm not getting any results when i search for it either?? very curious.

    It only runs on an iPad. If you're on an iPad, search the App Store for Adobe Comp CC.

  • HT201269 why are alot of my purchases not showing in the app store?

    recently upgraded to Iphone 5s but alot of my very expensive applications have not coppied accross in the restore process, not sure if the process was interupted or not but when i try to download them it says I will be charged the full price?

    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • I can't stop the App Store from opening on my MAC Air when turning it on.  It didn't use to do this and I have no idea what I did, but I don't want it to open without me asking it to.  Help please.

    I must have done something that I'm not aware of.  Every time I turn on my Mac Air the App Store opens.  I don't want that, obviously.  It's not in my login apps (I checked in system preferences), and it's not in my dock and when I put it in my dock it didnt' show "open at login", and I never choose to resume my programs when shutting down.
    I am running the latest OS (10.8.4).
    So, there has to be something else that I'm missing.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

  • Certain apps are repeatedly launching the App Store

    Starting a couple of days ago, I have been having an issue with strange behavior in three gay dating apps: Grindr, Jack'd and Scruff. It happened initially in Grindr and then seemed to spread to Jack'd and Scruff.
    I am using an iPad 2 with the latest iOS update. My iPad has never been jail broken and I've only ever installed apps from the App Store.
    The behavior sometimes occurs as soon as I open the app and other times I can open it and use the app for a couple of minutes before the behavior happens.
    The unwanted behavior is that the App Store is launched, prompting me to download one of the following 7 games:
    - Midnight Castle - A Hidden Object Game by Big Fish Games
    - Evolution: Battle for Utopia by my.com
    - Farmville 2: Country Escape by Zynga
    - Jungle Heat by my.com
    - Cookie Jam by SGN
    - Fairway Solitaire HD by Big Fish Games
    - King's Empire (Deluxe)
    When this happens, I close the App Store and switch back to the app (e.g., Grindr), but as soon as I switch back I am redirected to the App Store for one of the above 7 games in an endless loop. This renders the app unusable.
    I have seen some other posts saying this behavior might be related to scripts in banner ads in the apps, but the three apps affected have different banner ads and it is always the same 7 game apps that I'm redirected to.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here and how to stop it? I've tried closing and reopening the apps and rebooting the iPad, but this did not have an effect. I stopped using the apps for a couple of days and when I tried again today they were working fine for about an hour or so and then the behavior started again.

    Skydiver119 and pjl123, thanks for taking the time to respond, but I really suspect something else may be going on here.
    If it was just one app with this behavior, then I would say it's a bad app and stop using it. However, when it starts with three different apps all on the same day, that`s too much coincidence for me. Even if an app developer were somehow in collusion to do something nefarious, it would just be stupid to render the app unusable. That's shooting yourself in the foot.
    I know that Apple claims that iOS devices can't get viruses, but this sure feels like a virus to me. It seems to be some kind of "click fraud" (game developers paying someone for number of referrals). I have no idea how the hackers are doing this, but it feels like something running outside the apps that is hijacking them.

  • When looking at my purchased apps within the app store, there is a section for "Not on This iPhone".  How do I permanently delete previously purchased apps that I never want to see/use again?

    How do I permamently delete previouly purchased apps from showing up in the "Not on This iPhone" section of the app store?

    These apps aren't showing up in iTunes.  They only show up in the purchased list on my iPhone.  But I guess there is no way to hide them in the App Store view?
