Can't Open an iBook (from iBook Author)

I downloaded an iBook, one which was created in iBook Author. I get a message that simply says the file cannot be opened. (The document "iBook Name" could not be opened."
I imported the iBook into iTunes and tried to add it to my iPad. But the iBook does not show up on the list of books that I can sync to the iPad.
When I look at the iBook in iTunes, in the Books sidebar section, I can see the iBook. It is listed as a Book not a Protected Book.
I checked the permissions on the file and I can read and write this file, so it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.

iBook Author is for making iBooks, it cannot read them. 
That's interesting. I would never have guessed that iBooks Author couldn't open an iBook. Even one that was created in iBook Author?
Also, I figured out why I couldn't sync this book to my iPad. I had forgot that on this iPad I had not upgraded to iBooks 2. Which I've now done and it syncs just fine.
Thanks.

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • I can't open the store from ibook! Help!

    After the last ios update can't open the store from ibook!

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app via the multitasking bar and seeing if you can open the store when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iBooks app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can i remove my iBooks Author's account?

    Can I remove my iBooks Author's account?

    No, never ( under current agreements)
    What you can do is open your iTunes Connect account and  go to  price and territory  and de-select all countries. That removes your books from the store.

  • How can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone

    Hi,
    how can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone?  I ask this questions in hopes that I can eventually find a way to have the iPhone read a non "Enhanced" iBook to me.
    I used the Accessibility reader for a brief time but it's very persinickety.  Move the phone a tiny bit and it threw me out from page 70 and back to page 48.  Changing pages when you are in Accessibility is excruciating. Now, I cannot get back there at all.
    I downloaded 2 apps that claim they can read to me but the closest I can get in the instructions says I need to open the iBook from my Mac computer with my iPhone connected and then I will be able to open the iBook in the app called "Read text to me".  Only when I go to open the book on my Mac it says "This book can’t be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device."
    Thank god, I only have a brain tumor and am not yet completely blind.
    I've been to the Apple store twice, checked out a youtube page with all it's comments and I am still nowhere, over the course of a week.
    Can anybody help me?
    thank you,
    Ellen

    You cannot.
    Ibooks are only for iphone/ipod touch/ipad
    So, there are no third party readers/emulators in Mac OS X and Windows to read them from iTunes? I don't even own an iOS device. I just redeemed Action Comics' Superman #1 from Starbucks and iTunes.
    This one?
    Where the REQUIREMENTS spell out that an iOS device is needed to read it?

  • Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

    Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

    You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
    If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Can I open an ibook on my PC?

    Can I open an ibook on my PC?

    No, they can currently only be read on the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch - Apple haven't yet created a Mac or PC reader for ibooks. If you want to be able to read books on your computer then you could try other apps/stores e.g. Amazon have a PC Kindle reader for their ebooks

  • Where can I find free iBooks Author templates?

    Where can I find free iBooks Author templates? I'm trying to create a storybook for kids, is there a listing of such?
    Thanks!

    When I used the link  and clicked on Free there was nothing showing except  the loading  spinner ....which never ended. Reloaded and  tried the Photography link which was OK...
    Just tried today and the site is fully functional dont know if it was my machine or what!
    I did not try anything free, I get wary of new sites being  advertised in targetted forums and such and wanting email address's.
    I make my own template, $20 for one template seems expensive to me there are apps in the store offering templates far less expensive,  as do Jumsoft and I have no connection with them other buying  their set when iBA first came out.
    "Templates for iBooks Author" is a free app offerring 10 templates free! their  next version offers 20 I think for $10
    I think my  next project  should be a website offering templates a $3 each ! So far I have created 150.... 
    Edit:   Anybosy   wanting to learn more about creating or modifying template should  really check out KT's  tips and information on this link given above and repeated here...

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
    Windows 8.1 pro.
    thx

  • Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.

    Illustrator CC 2014 v18.0.0 (just installed today, 11/6/2014): I can't open files sent from Adobe Draw. The files send from Draw OK, but in Illustrator—which finally opens as advertised—I get an error message, i.e. The file "Dog - Drawing 1.draw" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened. This goes for all of my work, whether created in Ideas then opened recently in Draw, or files created in Draw from scratch.

    Illustrator files (.ai or .pdf)  that I save using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine on our network server. I try to open them on Mac.
    'The File "x.pdf" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'
    This may in some way be related to accessing the file over the server since when I transfer the file to my lcal drive I don't get the same error.  I still can't open the file but I get an error near the end of the opening process :
    "Could not read the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop adaptor"
    Again, I can open this file using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine.

  • Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.
