My son got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and wants to buy a game, but most of them are for the iPhone or iPad (which he doesn't have). Is there a way to search the App Store for games that are available for the desktop only? I've searched and haven't been able to find a way but maybe someone else has.
You and your son are confused by the name App Store. There are actually two, one is devoted specifically to the iOS devices. The iOS App Store is accessed using the App Store app on an iOS device; iPods, iPads and iPhones and through the App Store section of the iTunes app on a Mac or PC.
The second, the Mac App Store, is dedicated strictly to apps for the Mac. The Mac App Store is accessed using the App Store app in the Applications folder on a Mac. There is often an App Store shortcut located on the Dock of most Macs. There is another in the menu.

Searching the App Store by compatibility?
