Where Can I Find My Apps On My Mac Book
I see a lot of applications talked about on MakeUseOf that say they are for the iPhone and iPad that I would like to use. When I click on the link of the app, it takes me to the app that says it is for iPad and iPhone.
Everything works even my GMail account which never fully works on Mac or IOS, now I can even delete messages in Outlook with my GMail account and they really do delete everywhere, no more auto archive forever. I am so so glad I started using Oulook on my Mac and IOS device, seriously this is a great APP. Oct 24, 2017 Stop apps opening on startup on Mac.

Apps do not get placed in the dock when you download them from the Mac app store. They do get placed in Launchpad - so if you don't see them (especially after searching by name), then some sort of problem or corruption has arrived on your Mac. May 25, 2015 Basic: Visit the /Applications/ Folder in OS X to See Installed Mac Apps. The simplest approach to see what apps are on a Mac is to visit the /Applications folder, this will show all apps that users have installed through the App Store, that came bundled with the Mac, and that have been installed through most package managers, and by user drag & drop.
I have a brand new Mac desktop I bought in August of this year and I would like some of these apps. Would they work on my iMac or not. If not, why don’t they make these apps for the iMac to?
For example Ugly Meter and Am I Ugly are 2 apps I would love to try, but they say they are good for iPhone and iPad. What about making them for iMac to?
Please answer this question since it has been bothering me for a long time.
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.
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.
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.

JShimonov, Really great in teaching the fundamentalsUsually when downloading an application, I like to look at different viewpoints that other people had on the application.
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.
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.
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

The Find My app combines Find My iPhone and Find My Friends into a single app for iOS 13, iPadOS, and macOS Catalina. If you need help finding it, use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or use Spotlight on your Mac. You can also share locations or find missing devices on iCloud.com.
If you don't have iOS 13, iPadOS, macOS Catalina, or watchOS 6, set up and use Find My iPhone and Find My Friends instead of Find My, or log in to iCloud.com.
With Find My, you can locate and protect your Mac if it's ever lost or stolen. You need to set up Find My Mac before it goes missing. To turn it on, simply choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud. If you believe that your Mac was stolen, contact your local law enforcement.
Use Find My to locate your computer
Macbook App Store
If you set up Find My Mac before your Mac was lost or stolen, you can use it to locate your Mac on a map, or play a sound to help you find it. You can also use it to remotely lock or erase your Mac. To use Find My, sign in to iCloud.com on another computer or open the Find My app for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Locate your Mac on a map
Open the Find My app and select your Mac from the list of devices to view its location on a map and get directions.
Play a sound
If your Mac is nearby, you can have it play a sound to help you or someone nearby find it.
Lock your Mac
You can use Find My to mark your computer as lost, which remotely locks it with a passcode. You can also display a custom message on its screen.
Erase your Mac
You can use Find My to remotely erase all your personal information from your Mac.
What if my Mac is shut down or offline?
If your Mac is turned off or offline, you can still use Find My to request a notification when it’s located, or lock or erase it remotely. The next time your Mac is online, the actions take effect. If you remove your Mac from Find My when it's offline, your requests are canceled.
How do I unlock my Mac?
After you locate your Mac, you can unlock it with your passcode on iCloud.com. Make sure to use the passcode that you created when you locked it with Find My, not your device passcode.
Here's how to see the passcode that you used to lock your Mac:
- Sign in to icloud.com/find.
- Select your Mac from the Devices menu.
- Select Unlock. After you follow the steps to verify your identity, you'll see the passcode that you need to unlock your Mac.

You can look up your passcode for a limited time. If you forget your passcode or can't verify your identity to see it, take your Mac to an Apple Authorized Service Provider along with your proof of purchase.
