Why can't I get the same apps on my mac as on my iPad?

I have a few apps on my IPad that I would like to have on my mac but when I go to the app store they are not there.

iPad runs on iOS and Mac runs on OS X. They are different operating systems.
There is iOS version of iWorks and OS X version of iWorks with similar names
likke Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
Best.

  • Why can't I get the "Install App" button in the app store to work for OX Mavericks?

    I am trying to install OS Mavericks and I can not get the "Install App" button to work in the App store.  When I double click it runs for 2 seconds and then stops.  I am running OS Lion 10.7.5 now so I should be able to install and run OS Mavericks.  What am I doing wrong or can anyone tell me what I need to do?  Thanks!

  • Why can't I get the same photos and videos I have taken and edited in photos or I photos when I see them in my laptop the photos are unedited in laptop I can see edited photos on in my iPhone not in laptop

    Why can't I can see edited photos and videos. On my laptop why only the original version of the photos are maintained

    Have you copied those pictures from the iPhone to the computer? 
    If PhotoStream is enabled on the iPhone and computer, they will sync between all devices with PhotoStream enabled.  And if that is the case, are you editing the photos in PhotoStream or in Camera Roll?

  • Why can`t i use the iMessage app in my mac?

    every time i try to sign in, it tells me that there is an error. i dont know why!!!
    that happens as well with my facetime on my mac!!!

    found this
    I had the same problem, and found the solution in other thread:
    "This worked for me: (make sure Facetime is closed)
    1. In Spotlight type in "Keychain Access"
    2. There will be a certificate issued by Apple iPhone Device CA - This certificate was signed by an unknown authority. Delete this certificate (or move it to the desktop, out of the keychain access store)
    3. Launch Facetime and login - this time there will be no error..."

  • Why can't i download the same apps on mac as i can on iPad/iphone?

    or can i?

    No. Some developers have created versions of Apps for both the iOS Platform as well as the OS X platform. For instance Apple has versions of Pages, Keynote, Numbers, etc for both platforms, but they are different versions for the different operating systems.

  • Why can't I update the iphoto app on my mac (says not available in Canada)?

    When I click on my iphoto it says it cannot open because it needs to be updated, yet when I try to update it in the App store it says it is not available in my region (Canada). This makes no sense, why shouldn't I be able to have/use iPhoto anymore?

    Here's another possible means to get iphoto 9.6.1 posted by Terence Devlin:

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    "Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
    Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
    "Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
    You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
    You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.

  • 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.

  • I have just signed upfor family sharing. Is there any way you can get the same app on two devices but not have to share it? My sons both want clash of clans but they don't want to be on the same village and they can't both be on app at the same time?

    hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

  • How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

    How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

    The only way to synchronize is connecting to FaceBook. I just set up my girl friend's iPhone to connect with FaceBook, which then updated the phone's level; then I downloaded the app (again) on her iPad and selected connect to Facebook. I'm not sure what the downfall of synchronizing through FaceBook is.... all I can tell you is it worked and now her iPad shows the same level as her iPhone. Good luck!

  • Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain active ?

    Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain "active" ?
    I'm using iTunes 11.4 on a Mac Pro with OS 10.9.5
    In good old iTunes 10.7  there was a slider on the right side that you can move up and down to locate songs.   That same slider is there, (but much smaller), with iTunes 11.4, but it seems to deactivate itself for reasons I do not understand.
    I have found that when I go to the lower right corner and resize the iTunes window the slider will appear briefly.   If I don't act very fast, that slider vanishes and I cannot scroll up and down.
    Thanks !!

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
