Can I view / read books brought from iBookstore on my Mac or PC?

Just like the songs brought from iTunes which can be listened in iTunes on Mac or Windows-PC.
Thanks in advance!

Can I view / read books brought from iBookstore on my Mac or PC?
I'm still in a "sampling" mode for the most part, but free content I've downloaded from the iBookstore (i.e., Project Gutenberg ePub books) play in all of the desktop readers I've tried thus far.

  • Why can't I read books purchased from itunes on my macbook pro?

    I find it very upsetting that books purchased from itunes on a Macbook pro can not be read on a Macbook Pro.

    Many MacBook Pro users are professional authors, reseachers, teachers, ... and we need to manage large libraries of copy protected digital material (journals, book collections, protected imagery, ...) , which we directly reference and include (with citations) in our writing and analyses.
    Laptops and desktops are the only viable options in terms of screen real estate (multiple monitors needed), application availability (image analytics, serious statistics, real 2D and 3D modeling, ...) high speed storage attachment (the cloud can't handle many needs) and processing horse power. iPads and iPhones are a few generations away from being adequate for many such activities, which Apple had traditionally supported.
    This particular oversight by the  folks behind the Apple iTunes bookstore business, stands in stark contrast to what used to be our vision of the premier professional creative platfom. I find this deeply dissappointing and inconsiderate of our long term investment in apple technologies.
    Asking folks to simply abandon their investment in copy protected ebook material, purchased on iTunes, is just wrong.

  • How can I read books purchased from iBooks on my Mac?

    I'm completely new to the whole Apple world and have ran across this issue.  How can I read books, that I've purchased through iBooks on my iPad or iPhone, on my Mac?  Surely this is possible, but I just can figure out how Apple intends for us to do this.
    If someone could please help me out with this information I would appreciate it.

    Or I can just purchase them from a competitor such as Kindle and read them on my Mac
    Sure seems short sighted on Apple's part not to have this functionality.  This will drive my purchasing decisions to Kindle.
    I'm sure that there has been plenty of negative feedback already directed to Apple for this decision.  Does anyone know whether or not they have listened and if they have any plans to correct this issue?

  • Can we view Color & SIZE1 field from MARA in MM43??

    Can we view Color & SIZE1 field from MARA in MM43??

    Hi Ashish,
    In MM43 on Basic data screen scroll down to see More Basic Data push button.
    Once you enter in More Basic Data screen you have field there for size/dimension.
    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.
    Thanks,

  • Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos.

    Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos. I wanted to see if I could view them from the hard drive. Thanks

    Hello, eco1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location.  If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • Can I buy Kindle books directly from my ipad?

    Can I buy kindle books dirctly from my ipad mini?

    Although you can't shop for Kindle content directly from the Kindle reading app, you can shop from the Kindle Store using the Safari browser and deliver Kindle titles to the Kindle reading app on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

  • Can I import address book info from mac 10.5 to 10.7

    Can I import address book info from Mac 10.5 to 10.7?   It tells me "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Address Book 4.0.6."

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Try moving just the folder at Mac HD/users/~/Library/Application Support/Address Book from 10.5 to the same location in 10.7.
    Or in Address Book on the old Mac go to the File menu and choose Export Contacts Archive, copy that file to the new Mac and in Address Book on the new Mac go to File menu Import, browse to the archive file on the new Mac and choose it.

  • Why can't I read or write from my external hard drive?

    Hey there, I recently borrowed my brother's laptop to use as a media station for listening to music from, and watching movies, in order to free up some space on my main macbook.  In trying to migrate some files over, I discovered that my hard drive, a 320 GB WD Elements drive, is having some problems which I've never encountered before.  It has always worked fine in the past, but now I can't transfer any files to or from it, from either computer.  In all of my troubleshooting, I've gotten various errors, (-36, -50), and various messages saying how the device can't be read or written from, or how some files contian unreadable data, etc.
    Disk Utility found an unused node when verifying the disk, and notified me that the disk needed to be repaired.  I then used Disk Utility, which said it was able to successfully repair it, but the same problem remains, and after verifying the disk, it still says it needs to be repaired.  I've tried to find any files that may be causing the problem, and was finally able to delete a seemingly troublesome file that was stuck in my trash bin from the external drive after trying various apps, (ie Trash It, Cocktail, What's Keeping Me?).  This didn't end up solving anything...I've used terminal to eliminate some other potentially problematic files, with no luck still, and I'm not too confident with Terminal so I don't want to be messing around too much without more guidance.
    Most recently, I've used Disk Warrior to try to solve the problem, but still with no success.  When I use the app to Check All Files and Folders, it does so for only a few seconds, then reports that "An unexpected error ocurred while attempting to perform file operations" for several files, and that several files' "Property list is damaged and cannot be repaired".  When using Disk Warrior to REBUILD the drive, the app pauses for about 15 seconds, then says that it can't be rebuilt because it is in use.  Again, I've used the What's Keeping Me? app to kill any activity with the drive, and the same error occurs.
    I've spent a lot of time trying to sort this out...It's very frustrating, and I have a lot of files that mean a lot to me on my drive, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks a lot!
    Ryan

    I have this problem too with my Western Digital 1TB My Passport for Mac.
    Downloaded Card Data Recovery - did not work. The software self terminated itself when the problematic WD is connected. Starts up fine when the WD is not connected by USB.
    Then I downloaded Remo Recovery. Starts up fine, scans fine and appears to save the files but ALL the files 'saved' are unreadable.
    Finally, downloaded Stellar Phoenix in a last ditch attempt to recover my precious video files. Starts fine, saves fine BUT it cannot save files above 200MB because the WD stops working every 10 minutes.So, did not solve my problem totally because I have so many files above 200MB.
    And yes, I PAID for all the software above. And the first two software are reluctant to refund me my money until their development team can ascertain whether it's a software bug, over online web conference. And because of the time differences, I can never get online with them. So, all my money gone.
    Until one day I opened Activity Monitor and noticed this 'fsck_hfs' starting up everytime I connected the problematic WD My Passport for Mac.
    So, tried to Force Quit 'fsck_hfs' and VOILA!
    A dialogue box popped up and says that the Passport for Mac cannot be repaired and that I can move and copy files from it but not save to it.
    PHEW!!
    At least I can access the files and save them to my Seagate 1TB although now I am having a problem opening FCP X project files rescued from the WD.

    Hi!
    This is a possible solution to your problem.
    import java.io.*;
    class AddressExtractor {
         public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
              //retrieve the commandline parameters
              String fileName = "default.html";
              if (args.length != 0)      fileName =args[0];
               else {
                   System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
                   System.exit(0);
              BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
              StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
              st.lowerCaseMode(true);
              st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
              st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
              st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
              int i;
              while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
                   i = st.nextToken();
                   if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {          
                        if (st.sval.equals("href")) {               
                             i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the  '=' sign
                             i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.               
                             getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
              in.close();
         static void getURL(String s) {     
              //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
              if (s.indexOf("http://") >  -1) {
                   s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
              //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
              if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
              //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
              //if no '/' then print all
                   if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
                        System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
                   } else System.out.println(s);
    }Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

  • Can BI Publisher read the images from the Database?

    Hi All,
    Can BI Publisher read the images from the Database?
    if yes how it can be achieved?
    Thanks
    Aravind

    Hi,
    There is an example in oracle db. Use the schema PM (Print Media).
    Select the corresponding table that contains the column AD_PHOTO.
    In your RTF template simply to print the image stored in the db use:
    <fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg"> <xsl:value-of select="AD_PHOTO"/>
    </fo:instream-foreign-object>
    RUn the RTF template and it should show you all.
    Cheers
    Jorge
    p.s. If this answers your question then please grant the points and close the thread

    In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution.  The steps do apply.  A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
    Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
    If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
    If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.
