Can I get the paperback version of the books I bought on IBooks?

Can I get the paperback version of the books I bought on IBooks? Cause I spent so much money on it, I don't want to buy it again.

The price you pay for e-books is a fraction of what you would pay for a new paperback or hardcover book
While I agree that buying the ebook does not entitle you to a print edition, just as buying a hardback does not entitile you to the paperback or the ebook.
I will argue that in many cases publishers are NOT making ebooks much if any cheaper than the print edition, especially considering manufacturing, distribution, and inventory costs ARE a fraction of the cost for a print edition.
I'm not saying they shouldn't price books that way, I'm just saying they are not always much cheaper than the printed editions.
Been reading ebooks since 2001, starting with a Palm PDA, through several Palm generations, and two iPod Touch generations.

  • I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes it. Does someone know how to fix this?

    I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder and can see the original files and even copy them from Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes the HD, and when I try to work with the picture, it doesn't let me because it says that the master is in a volume that's offline. Does someone know how to fix this?

    Just to clarify:
    Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
    If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
    If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
    If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
    Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
    Right click on the first image of the selection.
    From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
    Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
    Click it.

    Highest an eMac can go is 10.5.8...

        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor

        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Trouble is appl no longer sells it, you have to search eBay & such for the full retail version, not any grey Install Disc.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

  • How can I get a zip version of the quicktime install?

    Our corporate pc policies do not allow downloading .exe files.   They must be zipped up.   How can I get the quicktime installation in a zip file?

    Download on another system, zip it, transfer to the PC's via a USB stick (or move it to an online service like Dropbox).
    You may find that the PC has software that blocks it anyway, so it is safest to speak to your IT staff & ask them to install it.

  • Can you get a free download of the new Pages through the appstore if you already have an earlier version of iworks from a disk?

    I have loaded mountain lion on my iMac and have an old version of iWorks on my machine.  It appears that all my Pages documents won't open unless I get the new version of Pages off the App store.  Does anyone know if that is a free download if you already have purchased iWorks previously on disk?  Thanks.

    No. The iWork (no 's') apps are a separate purchase. You should not have to buy any of the '09 apps again to work in Mountain Lion, you just need to update them.
    iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    Alternatively, you can download the standalone updater here.

  • I downloaded a Trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI.  Now the trial has runout and I've signed up for a subscription.  However, my software still needs a serial number.  How can I get a serial number for the installed software?

    There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

    how can i get an older version of facebook for iphone 3g the new version isnt compatible with the current 3g IOS

    If you didn't save an older version on your computer from a previous download, then there is no way to get one.
    You can access the mobile web page through Safari.

  • Can i get an older version of firefox for my android device the site i need to access only supports up to 3.6

    I need to gain access to a work web site that does not yet support firefox 4.0 can I get an older version for my android device

    Sorry, Firefox 4 is the first version that was developed for Android. But you can install this add-on and then set your "User Agent" preference to "desktop Firefox" to make web sites think you are using Firefox 3.6:

  • How can i get a later version of i movie after 7.1.4 but not the latest one for yosemite.

    i dont want to update to yosemite.  i have version 10.8.5 snow lion and i like it.  have read a lot about yosemite that i didnt want to mess with, such as i tunes 12, i already hated what they did to i tunes when we lost cover flow.  even though i have updates through the mountain lion update my i movie is still version 7.1.4 and i wanted to know if there's any updates i could get up to mountain lion for i movie. 

    probably this should help: (Its a direct link to download)
    iMovie 9.0.9
    As the system requirements shows, it can run on OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later.
    Actually you can even go to the 'Mac App Store' on your device, it should automatically show you the compatible version for the OS you are using.

  • Does anyone know how i can get the older versions of the ipod software

    Does anyone know how i can get the older versions of the ipod software on my nano because my nano had a feature that when i held down the menu button for a couple of seconds, the backlight turned on.......well ever since i downloaded the most recent software, everytime i hold down the menu button, it goes directly to the menu(which im not very enthusiastic about). Can anyone please help me if you can? I appreciate your help=)

    i agree with you 100%, i really want that feature back! it was so useful being able to turn the backlight on and off whenever i wanted. unfortunately im in the same boat as you are as i dont know how to get the old software

  • I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again

    I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again?

    No.
    Adobe only offers a Platform Swap on current software: Order product | Platform, language swap
    CS3 is also too old to have an "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or supported by Adobe.
    You do, as a CS3 owner, qualify for a 40% discount on your first year of a Creative Cloud Subscription though: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe does still offer CS6 (4 versions away from current & no longer receiving updates) as a "one time payment/download" perpetual license: Creative Suite 6
