Hi,
Can i move my rosetta stone software from my imac which runs 10.4.11 to an iPad 2?
I haven't yet bought the ipad but i want to take it with me while i travel but want to make sure that this is possible first.
I bought the software legally and have all the discs. It isn't an app.
Also is there any way to plug in an USB connector into an iPad 2?
Can someone help me please?
Thank you.
iMac (20-inch Late 2006), Mac OS X (10.4.11)
No applications from any computer can be run on an iPad. Only apps from the App Store can be download and installed on the iPad. The iPad has a different operating system than a Mac or Windows so none of those softwares will work on the iPad.
That's a bit crappy isn't it?
I like apple products but sometimes they really get on my nerves with their individuality and 'unique' way of ruining perfectly simple operations.
But thank you for your help.
Back to the old drawing board!
It has nothing to do with being a bit crappy - we are talking about totally different operating systems. If you were a Windows user and you had Microsoft Office on the PC and then decided to switch to a Mac - you wouldn't be able to install Office for Windows on a Mac either. And it would not work the other way - from Mac to Windows.
As Demo said this isn't an Apple thing. It is the way the world works. Software for one platform doesn't generally work on another platform.
It is something to take up with Rosetta Stone. They do make a Total Course HD application which is free. However it looks like you need to pay for some kind of monthly subscription to hook it up with your account.
Which also makes sense. Nothing is free. Rosetta is a company that needs to make money to pay its employees. They could have included the cost of this service with the inital purchase of the system, but then all the people who don't have iPads would be complaining that they had to pay for something the didn't/couldn't use.
Yeah i get that windows and mac are not compatible but i would have thought that an iMac and an iPad would be since they are both made by the same company. I had no idea that they didn't use the same operating system.
Thanks for your help though.
Okay, i will look into the total course app and have a look and see if there's anything i can do.
The course disc pack cost £450 so i think I've paid enough but I'll have a word and see what they say.
Thanks.

Can i transfer Rosetta Stone Software from my iMac to an iPad 2?
