Q: Why can't I purchase iOS 7 games from my Mac?

Why can't I purchase iOS 7 games for my young daughter from my Mac? Sure you can purchase / gift an app while using an iPhone, iPod, or iPad but it seems that you should be able to make a purchase from the Mac from within the App Store. Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

What happens when you try to buy them ? You should be able to buy apps via the App Store section of the iTunes store on your Mac's iTunes - does that not work ?

You can either sync them from your Mac's iTunes to her iOS device (if that is the computer that her device is synced to), or redownload them directly on it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it.
