Apparently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac, Twice. It appears in preview and desktop. cannot access nor register.Please advise?

Apprently, I downloaded "Kindle for Mac" twice. It appears on my Desktop and Preview. Cannot access not register it
Please advise?

Yes, I didn't think it was very good either!
You are correct in I should have said "Repair Disk" - Verify Permissions is not available on the maxtor drive ( it is dimmed) in Repair Disk.
Until now, the drive has worked perfectly, and I did not install any of Maxtors software when I originally connected the drive to this system, I just formatted it as a Mac Extended and it worked great. It was only after the fresh Erase & Install - even then it worked fine. It was only when I created a new account that the problem started.
What I have done is get hold of a demo version of a program called "Mac Drive 6" which allows you to read any Mac formatted disk or drive on a Windows system, - fortunately i still have my Windows XP Pro system which I have also connected to my home network.
So for the next four days (the length of the demo) I can access all of my files on the disk and copy them to my Windows system.
This is really great because I have all my data and images back which were my biggest concern.
I thought I might get another drive anyhow, and when I have everything backed up on a new drive and on the Windows system, I can then reformat the Maxtor drive and start afresh with it.
Thanks for all your help anyhow.

    Where do Downloaded Kindle for MAC ebook files reside?

    I use PDF Reader Pro, though it is not coming up in the windowsphone.com website.
    there is another one called a better PDF reader: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/a-better-pdf-reader/75ccaa96-e827-486c-82d2-fa6676c24a02
    and I also use File Hub: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/file-hub/eb83936a-6e24-4729-ba17-2100870ec17b
    but just like AH said above, you can tap+hold/delete and find the files if they are there.
    with the PDF Reader Pro: once I download and view a file, it will always show in that reader until I delete it.
    when I download and open a pdf, it gives me the option to open it with a list of the products that I have installed that can view them.

  • I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
    You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
    If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
    If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

  • Cannot download Kindle for Mac to MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5

    I am unable to download Kindle of Mac to my MacBook Air running OS x 10.9.5.  I have been unable to elicit a response from Kindle support and cannot the version from the App Store or from Kindle.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I've been working with documents in pages and recently downloaded word for mac. i open the pages documents and they appear to be corrupt. at least, a lot of the font is now in weird boxed pictures. what do i do?

    I've been working with documents in Pages and recently downloaded Word for Mac. Upon opening Pages documents with Pages, the documents appear corrupt. Much of the font has been replaced with boxed little pictures - yet they are identified as times new roman. What do I do?

    You got the new iphone?????   I have same problem.  I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was).  Have you found a solution?????   I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked. 

  • I just downloaded update for Mac OS X 10.6.8 and afterwards everything go smaller - how to enlargen back?

    I just downloaded an update Mac OS X 10.6.8 and everything got smaller; how do I enlargen it back to what it was?

    You should probably think about upgrading your operating system to the newest one, which is Yosemite. It has the latest version Safari running.

  • Kindle for Mac and Rapport

    Found that Lion OS not supported by Rapport, security software, yet!!
    Old Kindle app doesnt work in Lion, nor the Kindle for Mac downloaded from Amazon. Delete the Kindle App from your Mac then download it from the App store, then it works!!
    All these things are I suppose the teething troubles of a new OS but they are time wasting and drive me nuts!!!!!

    The App store is the Apple store for Apps, click on the capital A in your dock to go there. Type Kindle in the search box, its a free download but you will need to use your Apple ID. Hope this helps.

  • Kindle for mac not working with lion

    Since I installed Lion, amazons Kindle app doesn't seem to be able to sync nor download ebooks. Soulution anyone?

    As Josh said, this forum is for iPad questions and it appears you are asking about the Kindle app on Mac OS X. If that is indeed the case, then according to posts in Amazon's forums, this is a common problem for which there appears to be no solution at this time. Amazon will probably have to release an update to their Kindle for Mac application for Lion compatibility. Contact Amazon for more information.

  • HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

    I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update.   Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1.  Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional.  Advice?

    I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
    If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
    I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

  • How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    You have four options that I know of.
    1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
    2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
    3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
    4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
    Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • Font problem in Kindle for Mac

    I am having a dastardly problem with the Kindle for Mac software. The text gets compressed into a single black blotch of text.
    (See this image for a screen shot: http://flic.kr/p/9r6kqw
    I am at a loss. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have validated all my fonts. I have requested help from Amazon and they threw in the towel (albeit very politely).
    If anyone has had a similar problem and was able to resolve it, I welcome your insights.
    Many thanks,

    Aha! Both Georgia and Trubechet were missing from my system.
    I installed them from another computer in the house and -- tada -- the fonts in Kindle for Mac are rendering properly.
    Tom - you are my hero today. I can't tell you how many hours I have been fiddling with this problem. Thank you for helping me get it resolved.

    If you purchased the Perpetual Licensed version of Lightroom and received a 24 numeric serial number you will have to download the correct version from the link below.
    Before doing the new installation you will have to uninstall the existing version from your computer (it is the Creative Cloud version) since it is requesting you to "renew your membership" . This process will not interfere with your Catalog file, Preferences or your personal files, it will just remove the existing application. Both versions are the same application just a different download and activation process.
    Reboot your system then run the install of the Perpetual License download and input the serial number to activate. Things should be fine.
