Launch a specific app from the iBook?

I'd like to launch an application from a different developer from the iBooks Author document. Is this possible without popping up safari or itunes, if the user already has the app?

There's no way to associate a file with a specific app then....even across apple products (iBook>pages?) Well, that's a bummer.  I have found a work around (linking to a specific web page) but if that page moves, or goes away, the book becomes less relevant.
Thanks for the answer KT.

  • How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

    How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • Why have i lost my bookshelf from the ibooks app?

    My bookcase has dissappeared from the ibooks app, any ideas?

    Apple removed it and the 'book view' for some obscure reason.

  • Will iBooks ever be an Apple App from the Mac App Store?

    Will iBooks ever be an Apple App from the Mac App Store?

    Apple does not offer any sort of ibooks/epub reader for OSX , but there are 3rd party apps available and even freeware to import/export from pdf into epub,mobi,kindle and vice versa ( google "calibre" +"epub" ) . I personally love this Mac app called "BookReader" ( MacAppStore ) , which resembles the iOS ibook experience to the best in my oppinion . If Apple would have had such a tool it would most certainly be of this sort  :

  • HT4059 Hi, I'm trying to purchase a book from the iBooks store but when I open the app and go to open store it does not go to the library

    I'm not able to open the iBooks library

    Hello there, Summerrys.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to access the store from iBooks:
    iBooks: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about iBooks and the iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059
    How do I access the iBooks Store?
    An Internet connection is required. On iOS devices, iBooks includes the iBooks Store. Tap the iBooks icon and your bookshelf appears. In the upper corner, tap the Store button and the bookshelf flips around to reveal the iBooks Store. From the iBooks Store, you can browse books by title, author, or genre. You can also view featured books as well as books available on the New York Times bestseller lists (United States only). Tap on a book to see more details and download a free sample. When you buy a book, it will automatically appear on your iBooks bookshelf.
    If you are using the iOS 7 app, you may want to try some of the recommended steps in the following Knowledge Base article for troubleshooting the application:

    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • I can't search any videos on YouTube/Download any app from the App Store

    Hi,
    I am using movistar 3G network (Spain), full signal. Everything works fine, Stock app, Weather app, Mail, Safari... but I can't search for any videos on YouTube and can't download any app from the App Store.
    I can see videos on YouTube app but only the featured videos, when I try to search the ones I want to see I get an error message "Cannot connect to YouTube".
    The only problem is when searching videos on YouTube app.
    When I try to download an app from the App Store I get a similar error message, "The download can´t be done, connect to iTunes" more or less, that's the sense of the message.
    I can connect to the AppStore, surf it but when I press Install... I get the error message.
    I know that my carrier, movistar (Spain) has an issue with secure webs (https), it's impossible to surf any secure web by now but I don´t know if this is related with my problems.
    This happens with 2.1 and 2.2 firmware version.
    I have the iPhone set in spanish from Spain and the time is right. By the way, using WiFi everything works fine, everything, I can search for videos on YouTube app and download apps from the AppStore.
    I don´t know what more can I do, can someone help me? please. = (
    Thanks in advance.

    FWIW, the only part of Java not installed is the Java Runtime Environment. Launch the Java Preferences.app in /Utilities and DL it when prompted. Then, enable plugins and Web Start apps.

  • I recently changed my e-mail address and have made the changes in my Apple account. But when I try to purchase an app from the App Store on my ipad, the sign in cue still shows my old e-mail address rather than my new one.

    Hi there. I am having difficulty buying apps from the App Store. I recently changed my e-mail associated with my apple account. when i try to purchase an app, the cue to sign in does not show my new e-mail, but still shows my old e-mail. when I put in my password, it does not work because my password is no longer associated with the old e-mail address. i don't understand why my old e-mail still shows up.

  • After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct.

    After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct. I apparently need to switch locations manually, specifically for the App Store. Help?

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

  • Will iTunes U ever be an App from the Mac App Store?

    Will iTunes U ever be an App from the Mac App Store?

    Absolutely
    Another infuriating Apple dogma, especially for anybody using a 'magic trackpad': you can do pretty much everything you can do on an iPad, only faster and with a higher definition screen!
    Isn't it totally crazy that I haven't purchased a single iBook because Kindle provides me a good reading platform on my MacBook Air but Apple doesn't ???!!!

  • Launching an AIR app from another (when offline)?

    I have a pair of AIR applications that are meant to work
    together as part of an application suite. One feature is that a
    user should be able to click a button in APP_1 and launch APP_2 (if
    installed). To do this I created a "LaunchButton.swf" that loads
    "air.swf". This works GREAT when the user is online and "air.swf"
    is able to be loaded from "
    http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf".
    I tried to copy "air.swf" locally and use that instance but I am
    guessing that it doesn't work due to security restrictions.
    If there are any AIR engineers reading this (Oliver?) please
    let me know if there is a solution to "Launching an AIR app from
    another (when offline)?"
    Thanks!

    I think theoretically it shouldn't work, and doesn't by the
    response you give. Remember a functional work around isn't always a
    fix. What you've essentially done is loaded the air.swf into a
    sandbox bridge, bridging it between a web sandbox and an
    application sandbox, therefore you're able to call its methods
    without security errors. However, if the air.swf loads in another
    swf, maybe a helper swf, you won't be able to access any methods in
    that swf, neither will the air.swf. To my understanding, it's not
    grandfathered into the sandbox bridge, but retains its web sandbox.
    Before going crazy about the bad news I may have just given,
    wait until Ted returns to give you a response. I could be way off
    par here :) Good luck!
