    • Most apps for your iPad can not be played on your Mac. Check to see what the app is made for. If it says for iPad and iPhone but does not say Mac, it probably won't work on the Mac. That is why I started this thread to begin with.

  1. It's an interesting point, but I think the truth is that there simply isn't a demand for those kind of worthless time-waster apps on the Mac OS like there is on a mobile platform. Or rather, we already have Flash for that. Chances are that your 'ugly meter' or whatevr already has a flash version online somewhere, so use that. Most of those crappy useless apps are just ports of flash stuff anyway.

    To be honest, I'm gad the Mac app store isn't full of crap. The merging of iOS and OSX is not neccessarily a good thing, despite Apple's efforts to push things in that direction.

    • I would not want the Mac app store full of crap either but would still like the choice to use apps that I find interesting on my Mac should I choose to. To have the choice would be good.

  2. iPhones and iPads are extremely popular, so more developers develop apps for those devices than for Macs, which are quite popular in the US and Europe but not much elsewhere. Plus, the operating system on a Mac is Mac OS X, which is entirely different from iOS on the iPhone and iPad. To bring an iPhone app to Mac, a developer has to rewrite his app and make it compatible with OS X, and many developers don't have the resources or time to do that.

    I'd suggest that you use your iDevices for using the casual and fun apps, and your Mac for work purposes or watching videos, etc.

    • I like your answer but I have no iDevices. I only have a Mac and feel it would be a shame to get an iPhone or iPad just to run certain applications. Your answer though, does though make sense and it helps me to understand why the majority of apps are for the iPhone and iPad and not the Mac.

      Thank you for your answer.

  3. I'm afraid you are in the wrong place for your question..

    [Unless there are developers around here..] We can neither change nor answer why most iOS Apps are solely available for iOS and not for Mac OS X.

    You should better contact each individual developer and tell them that you'd like to see their Apps on your Mac OS X device.

    • Thank you fort your answer.

      I thought someone here would know the reason why, or you never know, there might be a developer who looks at this site and might see my question. At least I now know that there are simulators that will allow you to use iPhone and iPad apps on a Mac. I did not know that before.

      • Well, I'm afraid this won't help you much either..

        In order to run iOS Apps within the Xcode Simulator you need their 'Source Code' (the original Xcode Project files).

        I doubt any developer is willing to give them out.

  4. well you need itunes to download and then to sync to ipad or iphone, and use them on the device.

    Normally they are written for ipad/iphone.

    if you want to run iphone or ipad applications on Mac you need a simulator

    • Thank you for your answer. This is the 1st time I've ever heard of simulators where you can run iPad and iPhone apps on the iMac.

      Very interesting.
