Why can't I get my apps off my iPhone to download to my new iMac computer?

Why can't I get my apps on my iPhone and iPad to transfer across to my new iMac computer?

Becky ...
Apps that run on the iPhone and iPad are iOS based. Apps that run on your Mac are designed for the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
In other words, apps that run on your iPhone and iPad cannot run on your Mac and vice versa.

  • Why can't I get Pro Tools LE to create a session on my new iMac?

    Summary
    I can't get Pro Tools LE to open a session on my brand new iMac.
    Detail
    Pro Tools launches but when I go to create a session it seizes up, the beach ball spins and I have to Force Quit and send yet another note to the Apple teacher. It does this without fail. I've tried to rectify this by saving to different locations and different external hard drives. The problem remains the same.
    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, stripping the computer of anything that says "digidesign," etc... it doesn't work.
    I am using the same Pro Tools with the same OS and the same Digidesign hardware on a MacBook Pro without a problem. Go figure.
    _*The Kit*_
    _The Troubled Computer_
    iMac
    Version: OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
    Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    _The Untroubled Computer_
    MacBook Pro
    Version: OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    (the previous model - all aluminium)
    _The Digidesign Interface_
    MBox2 / USB connection
    _The External Hard Drives_
    iMac: Maxtor One Touch 4 Plus 600GB / FW800 > FW400 with a converter
    MacBook Pro: Maxtor One Touch 4 Plus 750GB / FW400 > FW400
    _The Pro Tools LE Software_
    Pro Tools LE 8.0.3
    I know what you're thinking... Snow Leopard is the problem. Right?
    But the MacBook Pro has proven that theory wrong. The marriage between SL and LE8 on that notebook works fine.
    As for LE on the iMac... At first it was 8.0.1 but now it is 8.0.3.
    I upgraded to the supposedly Snow Leopard compatible Pro Tools LE 8.0.3 (pre-release) thinking that just maybe SL and LE8 weren't having as much fun together in the iMac bed as they were in the MacBook Pro. The result was identical -- stuck in Nowheresville.
    I've been to the Digidesign discussion boards and the best I've been told so far is that my 3 day old iMac is a dud. On the other hand, away from Digidesign intoxication, some of the pros in the biz around town have said it's probably Pro Tools. Pro Tools they say is, at best, troublesome.
    I'm planning on bailing out of Pro Tools altogether eventually and moving to an Apogee Duet with Nuendo 4 as I'm annoyed that I spend more time as an amateur paint-by-numbers technician than actually doing the job I'm paid to do. I'm also unhappy with expensive upgrades, lost paid for plugins due to upgrades and being railroaded into buying Avid gear only as demanded by the software.
    But, in the meantime... I'm stuck with it. My own suspicions are that the cause of my troubles is the external hard drive and the FW400>FW800 conversion configuration but I'm not about to blow a few hundred bucks for a new hard drive based on a hunch that may not work. Your thoughts?
    Any suggestions other than anything that involves screwdrivers and a cavalier mindset with the just out of the box hardware by a complete novice such as I are most welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I have the same problem.
    First I tried PT8LE 8.0 - didn't even start, afterwards i tried 8.0.3pr (1.25GB) - the same result. Now I downloaded the 8.0.3 normal (1.6GB) and it starts, but after I get to open/create new session dialogue box it just gives me the beach ball of death...
    When I force quit PT it won't even start again and gets stuck at loading plugins (and there are just the bundeled one, no third party - it's a clean install of the whole machine).
    I too have a week old 27" imac i5 with 10.6.2. On my old 24" with 10.6.1 it's runnig smoothly.
    My external drives were off during this so I guess it's not a thing of the FireWire ports.
    So I guess it's nothing positive or helpful, but You're not alone with this

  • Why can't I get certain songs off my iPhone??!

    16 gig iPhone 4S, running iOS 7. I can't delete these stupid songs from the phone and no matter how many times I re-sync they don't go away!!

    These are probably songs that you have either deleted in iTunes, or deleted from the phone that were synced to the phone at one time. This is how it determines to put the cloud symbol beside them. iTunes Match is that way as well. Of course, if you would have mentioned the cloud earlier, it would have ended earlier too. Glad you got it sorted.

  • I got a new iPhone , why can't I get my apps from my cloud ?

    I got a new iPhone , why can't I get my apps from my cloud to go on my new iPhone from App Store it's asking for a credit card the apps were free and are in my cloud already ,so why is it asking me for a credit card and it will send me to my settings and that's were it asks me and if I don't put one in I can't get my apps!

    While you could create a new ID without a credit card by following the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534, I would recommend you first try contacting Apple support to find out what you can do to use your existing Apple ID without using a credit card (if it didn't have one before).  You can set up a call with them by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption>How to recover missing purchased items.  The call will be free but you will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.  Alternatively, you can contact iTunes store support by email here: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • What is local storage? Why can't I get this app?

    So I'm trying to get the sims free play app on my ipod4g. It requires 569MB. So I click download and it says I do not have enough local storage. Which I clear do cause I just deleted almost everything off my iPod. I have 1.0GB of free storage left. I don't get it??? Why can't I get the app???

    You do NOT have enough space.  Most apps require 2 or 3 thimes the space required in order to install the app.
    You will need 1.2 - 1.8 gb or so free

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

  • Why can't I get in-app purchases?

    Why can't I get in-app purchases?

    We are having this same problem with our Iphones and before you ask yes these phones are allowed to make in-app purchases. This is happening for all apps not just one or two and all of our Iphones. We have even asked several of our friends with Iphone and they also are unable to make in-app purchases. We can go into the app and go to the in-app purchase area and we see what is available but we are unable to make any selections.  We have contacted apple care and they have had us reset the settings for in-app purchases and we still get have the same problem. Since this is happening on all our Iphones 3s, 4, and 4s. It leads me to believe that it is an issue with the Itune store not allowing in-app purchases. Is any one else having this problem? Had this problem but was able to get it fixed, what did you have to do to get it where you could make in-app purchases.
    Thanks

  • Why can't I get my email from my iphone?

    WHY CAN'T I GET MY MMAIL FROM MY IPHONE?

    Without a Blackberry Data Plan you can't get email pushed to your Curve.  While on your wi-fi network you are able to access your email, but away from that link you need a data plan.

  • HT5622 Why can't I get this app to download?

    It said it downloaded but the app never popped up on my phone, I go to the app on the apple store and it says play. I click the play button and nothing happens, can anyone tell me how I can get the app onto my iPhone?

    Hi Hunterb96,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is it possible that the app has been placed on one of your six Home screens?
    Does the app appear in a spotlight search?
    If not, you can download it again.

  • Why can't i manually switch apps off?

    Work iPhone 4S on 7.0.2.
    It's laggy as ****. Why can't I manually switch off apps I don't use like maps, reminders & tomtom?
    On Android I can go into each app and switch them off when I don't want them in use. Why can't I do this on iOS?
    So far, I'm not liking Apple much.....

  • Why can't i get Skype app on iPhone 4s

    Hi
    My mum gave me her old iPhone 4s.  It's the first time I've had a smart phone so I am a bit new to it.  I tried to download Skype for iPhone, but it said my phone couldn't have it.  I had the same with BBC Radio iPlayer.  Some apps say I don't have the right operating system - I get that, but why do some apps just say my phone can't have a certain app?  Is it because I am wirth giffgaff and am not on a contract but have sim only and then buy monthly goody bags?

    ok, first, thanks to all of you for all the help so far.
    second, this is turning into a kind of nightmare!
    i decided to try using my mum's new macbook to use iTunes to update my iPhone.  first, it didn't have iTunes installed so i had to install it.  now i have done that, and tried to update my iPhone but i just get a message on my mum's computer saying i have the most recent version of 4.2.1 and there will be another update at a certain date (can't remember it.) eh?  what's that about?  i'm not tech-savvie and am completely flummoxed. i thought i'd update it to a newer version. how can i update my iPhone?  all i want to do is get some basic free apps! 
    also, i hear what you're saying, and it seems the phone must be an iPhone 4 not 4s, but the box etc all say 4s.  another weird factor.
    i'd really appreciate some help, please.
