Why can't I install an app using my web browser?

Often I am at a computer where I can't install iTunes and I want to install an app on my iPad which is at home. For my Android devices all I have to do is click a button on a web page to have it installed. Why can't I do this for my Apple devices? At the library, or a friends house, etc - I may find out about a cool new app I want to put on my device - why should I have to wait until I can go home to get my device, or go to a computer where I can install iTunes? Web browsers are available so many more places than iTunes. This sort of user-unfriendly-ness makes me want to move away from my Apple devices.

Apple does not allow that.

Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently, and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

You really need to provide a little more information. Why don't you explain a little bit of what you have been experiencing, and maybe someone can offer some advice.
Are you signed into the correct Apple ID? Do the apps start downloading at all? Do you get the "waiting" or "Loading" icons at all?
What are you doing that isn't working?

TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
Help please!

I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
In the meantime I have also tried:
Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
But please remember that:
The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
Then started working unexpectedly in December
Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

Why can't I install Mac app store

Hi I want to install the Mac App Store to have the chance to Install OS X Lion. But eveytime I'm trying to go to the App Store it brings me back to the overall of Mountain Lion OS. Can you help me guys? Thank you!

I think that you have to be running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (or some version of Snow Leopard at minimum) in order to have the Mac App Store. Your tagline says that you are running 10.5.8 Leopard.

Why can I not install Firefox anymore using -ms?

I use to be able to install the downloaded versions of Mozilla Firefox using a simple switch on the command line. The switch was -ms. It worked great through, I think, version 24.0. No versions after that have worked. Is there a reason? It there an "easy" workaround? I've seen stuff that tells you create a config file and add it to the install. Surely there is an easier way? Anybody know something that will work? Appreciate any help with this.

Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I needed and is working.
Appreciate you taking the time to respond. :o)

Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip--> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
Somebody, please help!

Phil, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism. That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7. Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator. I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed. Jon

Why Can't I Install CC Apps With Vista?

I have Vista. I like it. I don't have any issues with CS6 and I don't care if you support it or not as I have never asked for support from you but I would like the option to download the programs I entered into a contract to be able to download (like Lightroom). No warning, just bam you don't have the right operating system and so you can't download the programs we agreed to provide you? I don't understand. Where can I get access to all apps?

You can find the system requirements for the Creative Cloud applications listed at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tech-specs.html.
The Creative Cloud application is not available to both Mac OS 10.6.8 and Windows XP and Vista users. You can find the specific system requirements for the new Creative Cloud application at https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
If your computer meets the minimum requirements for the Creative Cloud application then it will still be made available in the older version of the Adobe Application Manager.
