Books on iPad in Canada

Where is the content in the iBook store in Canada? I only see a bunch of old public domain stuff.

Don't be too disappointed. True, Apple will have to deal with Canadian publishers for iBook store content. The way all publishing works, no matter which Author you read, is that the Author is first published through their publisher where ever that publisher may be (America, UK, Canada, etc...) then through brokerage deals and publishing rights published through international counterparts in sister Publishing houses. Canada is full of tons of sister publishing houses to American publishers. They're smaller than the big ones in America, but there are a lot more. So, to get half the content of the U.S. iBook store, Apple will have to deal with twice as many publishers in Canada. Not to mention Canadian exclusive publishers (thanks to Heritage Canada there a ton of these). This is time consuming, so expect to see purchasable content sometime in the Winter of 2010 or early 2011 (estimated). Fear not though. iBook uses the new open format standard of ePub. This format is widely used by many eBook distributors such as, Sony, Indigo and countless of smaller online bookstores (except Amazon who uses their proprietary Kindle format). So, to read your books simply purchase online and than drag the books into your iBook library on iTunes. That should be a temporary fix for now. I advise against using Kobo and Kindle reader for now, the experience is not nearly the same.

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

    Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

    If you got them from iBooks, then no. As far as I know, iBooks are linked to the Apple ID that downloaded them. If you got them via Kindle or the such, the apps may have a sharing function.
    If it's another app, then whatever  the rules of that app says is what works.
    If you're looking for e-books on a budget, check out your local library. Many have e-books you can check out for a period of time, and they either work with an app or are PDF files with some sort of time limit encoding in them

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

  • ITunes crashing when trying to sync books from iPad

    When trying to sync books from iPad to iTunes, iTunes crashes causing Microsoft error message. Any ideas?

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

    Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

    Have you tried GoodReader? It claims to handle very large file sizes and it's very good for annotations. It's my PDF reader of choice on the iPad
    From the GoodReader manual:
    File types to view in GoodReader
    There are two types of viewing engines - the ones that we've written ourselves, and the built-in device's standard viewing engine. Our own engines provide great flexibility and many additional features not found in the built-in engine (for example, opening very large files). The built-in engine is very powerful and knows many file formats, but has many limitations and no additional features.
    Files of very big size (our own viewing engine):
    very large PDF files (including password-protected). File size is not the limit. Revolutionary PDF Reflow (Extract Pure Text) mode. See Viewing PDF Files for details.
    very large TXT files. See Viewing TXT Files for details.
    high-resolution pictures and other graphic files (including slideshow viewing mode). See Viewing Pictures for details.
    And as a free bonus - files of normal size (iOS standard viewing engine):
    all file formats supported by Safari engine: Microsoft Office files - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML files and Safariwebarchives
    iWork'08/09 files - Pages, Numbers, Keynote (files must be saved with Include Preview option)
    .ai files saved with PDF Compatible option
    audio files (natively supported by iOS)
    video files (natively supported by iOS)

  • How do I open the square photo books from iPad in iPhoto Mac ?

    I began creating a square photo book on iPad (iOS7) and decided that I would create the book on my Macbook instead (Mavericks) - so I could access my full photo library.  However I can only see rectangular photo book templates on the Mac.
    Questions:
    - Is it user error or are the templates totally different on Mac and on IOS?
    - Is there any way to transfer a square photo book project from iPad to Mac via iTunes or iCloud?
    Thanks :-)

    Just about the only thing iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS share is a name.
    So, no, it's not user error, the templates are different
    and
    No, there's no way to transfer any book project.

  • HT5071 How do I get and english version of Jeremy Clarkson's newest book for ipad?

    How do I get an english version of Jeremy Clarkson's newest book for ipad?

    Just FYI, you've posted in the wrong place, this part of the discussions site is for iBook Author, you should post in iBooks.
    Anyway, if you're on your mobile device, you open IBooks (you may have to download the app from the AppStore, I don't think it's there by default), tap 'store', and search for 'Jeremy Clarkson'. Latest book I could see is "the Top Gear Years".
    If you're on your mac, the iBook store can be accessed via iTunes, downloaded, and then sync your iPad.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can i use my ipad in canada?

    How can i use my ipad in canada?

    You can certainly use your iPad in Canada. You'll need to find out from your cellular carrier though if you can use cellular in Canada with paying hige roaming charges.
    If there will be roaming charges, or if your carrier will not let you use cellular in Canada, you can still use the iPad. Turn off Cellular in Settings. You can still connect to Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

    When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
    Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network?
