Why does my ibook display only free book?

I noticed my ibook app only display free books. Could this be because my apple ID was registered under Malaysia?

Apple can only sell content in iBooks that the publishers have allowed them to - if they havn't been granted permission then they can only 'sell' free content. So if you are in one of those countries where there is only free content then you will need to buy and use a different ebook content provider (the terms of use of the stores say you can only purchase/download from your own country's stores). Do you have Kindle (Amazon), Nook, or other ebook retailers in your country ?

  • Ibooks store is only free books - all ancient classics

    I can access the ibook site on my ipad, but all it displays is free books - mostly ancient classics.
    How do I get books with a price? New books! I have an itunes account, as I have purchased many apps, so they must know who I am and who to send the bill to.
    What is the problem here?

    But I'll want content with I'm in Bolivia (where I spend much of my time).
    Will they block that?
    I don't think so. My problem was that I registered with the Belgian iBooks site - which apparently has no copyright agreements yet. Had I just left my account in the UK, I would have been OK (but I closed my UK bank account). I am in France now, and happily browsing books on the UK store using a UK bank.
    But this all seems a bit odd.
    If I log onto the UK Amazon site, they do not care where my bank account is. Likewise with Lulu. So why does Apple get all exited about matching your address with a bank account from the same country and only logging on to that country's iBook site??
    It is a nonsense, in this day and age.
    And it means that no Belgian or Dutch iPad users can buy any books yet, unless they can find a UK bank or credit card. That is just plain mad. Who do Apple want to stop customers buying their products, and enjoying their hardware fully???

  • Why did an iBook purchase only download one chapter and how do I get the rest of the book?

    Why did an iBook purchase only download the first chapter?What can I do about this?

    is it possible you only downloaded the sample? the cover image for the book will have the word Sample in a red banner across one of the corners.
    if you actually purchased the book and only received one chapter, then there should be a link in the email that iTunes sent you to dispute the purchase.

    Filedown has a nasty reputation in English-speaking countries - plenty of antivirus/antimalware apps block everything there by default, which is what Peter has done. It doesn't mean that your link is malicious, only that it's hosted somewhere that has been used to host malware in the past.
    I'm pretty sure, Peter, that there aren't any nonbreaking spaces there, because I'd wager that there aren't any spaces there at all. It's justified text, and the reasons why it will or will not break are sometimes obscure when using composers that aren't the J composer. Chinese text is usually entirely free of spaces, except in certain circumstances, usually involving European language inserted into Chinese text. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, InDesign will simply treat Chinese as if it were English, and only break at spots permissible in Euro languages. That's not the case here - it obviously breaks between two Chinese glyphs, so something else is up here.
    Which version of InDesign are you using? Are you keying the text directly into InDesign, or are you placing, or copying/pasting?
    If you're using an English version of InDesign, I would suggest trying to save your Chinese text as raw text or RTF and File -> Place that. If you choose RTF, try to mark it with Chinese language in your RTF editor (Word?) if possible.
    Is No Break applied anywhere in your text? You can check in the Story editor (Control/Command Y) to see what styles and formatting are applied.

  • Why does my computer display a spring coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything

    Why does my computer display a spinning coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything, the only way to get rid is to switch off and reload...

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

    Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
    When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

    Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

    Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.    The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

  • Why does UIView not display PDF's as well as UIWebView

    I do not want to use UIWebView for viewing a PDF for various reasons. The clarity of the document is clearly not the same when displaying the pdf pages with the CGPDF layer. Does anyone know what I can do.
    The basic example in the Apple iphone Quartz example demonstrates the problem. My code uses very similar code.
    The pdf's display fine, the clarity is off. It appears to be blurred or fax. Can anyone help me. I really need to fix this
    Thank you in advance

    Please note, the PDF file has no problems opening anywhere else, including computers that don't have the font being used. So it's being properly translated.
    In fact, if it was a missing font issue, the text would still be displayed, only in a different font. I'm saying NONE of the vector info is being displayed, only the pixel backgrounds.
    You wrote that is not what is happening on you iOS system.  You have used two browsers apples and googles and their PDF plugins  and they do not seem to be working like you PC or Mac computers.  The plugin operrate in iOS did you try iBook.  The Web files served up by the Web servers are the same unless there is special HTML code that detect that your on a iOS moble device. If that code exist on the server may serve up something different for your iOS device then it does for you computers.
    I do not know how to configure Chrome on an iOS device does not seem to exist. On your PC or Mac in the Crome address bar enter about:plugins you will see that PDF are handled by
