Whenever I read these forums about people buying apps for their Mac products sometimes I see people refering to iTunes. Other times they refer to the App Store. From the perspective of a software consumer are these effectively the same things? What's the difference between them? etc.
Download iTunes 12.4.3 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards)
Late 2012 Mac mini, macOS 10.13 Beta 6;  Watch, watchOS 3.2.3; iPad Air 2 & iPhone 6+, iOS 11.4 Beta 6; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 10.2.1;  Airport Express
You are not alone, I have some money in my iTunes store but can't use to purchase app on apple store or vice versa. The only thing ever change with apple is iPhone versions which is basically bigger size, smaller size and then bigger again. Google store is taking over. Who knows when a tech co is not innovative, it will join the club with Blackberry, Nokia, Motorola etc...
You live in a dream world. Let us know when the folks at Google store have paid US$70 billion to app developers with apps in their store. Perhaps you missed all the Apple innovation by way of new hardware and operating systems announced yesterday in Apple's keynote address opeining the World Wide Developers Conference in San Jose with 5000+ developers in attendance.
Okay, I right swipe on my home page and find search. I type in "iTunes". The list comes up showing Connect, iTunes Store and iTunes Apple no "iTunes".
I'm trying to download my iPhone pictures to my WIN 10 PC. Google search says load iTunes and click on "File". I could not find a "File" icon to click in any of the above apps.
Please help.
Hi ...
iTunes sells apps optimized for iOS based devices such as iPads, iPhones, and the iPod touch.
The Mac App Store is for apps that run the Mac OS X ie., Snow Leopard, or Liion.
Two different operating systems.
Your billing information is the same for both the Mac App Store and the iTunes Store.
You're welcome 🙂
I think the question is what is the difference between App Store and iTunes (store) as shown both on an iPad, not Mac App Store. I am confused by them as we'll but it appears the former sells apps a lot while the latter the entertainment.
Still doesn't make any sense. If the App Store is for Macs then why does it appear on iphone?
You are confusing the Mac App Store, accessed with the App Store app on a Mac, with the iTunes App Store accessed with the iTunes app on a Mac and the App Store app on an iOS device.
On a Mac or Windows desktop/laptop, you have your iTunes program to interface with your mobile device (iPad/iPhone). You also purchase apps and media through the iTunes store when your iOS mobile device is syncing with your desktop/laptop. But once you use your iOS mobile device to make purchases, you have the App Store for purchasing mainly apps and games, and your iTunes store for purchasing music, movies, books, and other media. They made it that way on the mobile device to segregate the apps from the media purchases.
When you ask a veteran Apple customer where to purchase apps and media, he/she'd quickly say, "You can download them on iTunes."
When you ask those who are recent owners of an Apple product, he'd say, "You can download games on the App Store and music on iTunes Store."
To set the record straight:
iTunes - desktop/laptop program for downloading media and mobile apps
iTunes Store - mobile app for downloading media
App Store - mobile app for downloading iOS apps and games
Mac App Store - Mac OS program for downloading apps and games for your Mac OS device(s)
So... is iTunes and App Store the same? From a platform-specific perspective, no. From a functional perspective, yes.
iTunes, App Store Same Thing???
