Can you purchase non-education books through the Volume Purchasing Program?, Can you purchase non-education books through the Volume Purchasing Program?

We want to distribute a book available on the ibook store through VPP.  When we search the VPP the book is not there.  Is it even possible to purchase non educational books through VPP?
Thanks

Looking at the examples posted in the documents, there are examples of qty 12 and qty 10, and no mention of minimum purchases.  There also appears to be no price break for apps purchased through the program.  So this is different from the 20+ program where you are getting volume discounts.  Clearly it's more valuable for the 20-and-over market -- can you imagine creating and managing 500 accounts with 500 separate bills when you buy 500 copies of a 99-cent app?  Aack!
The default way that the App Store is set up is totally oriented to individual private purchasers.  The Apple ID is permanently linked to the app purchased, and you must know the username and password of the Apple ID that installed the app in order to update that app on that device.  Oh, and you can't just use one Apple ID and password for every machine in your group.
I'm thinking of creating a naming scheme for Apple ID's -- one for each machine.  I'll create an email address for each machine and then that becomes the Apple ID for that machine's App Store purchases [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.  Give them all the same password.  Then all I have to worry about is if I need to shift around software and recombine them so that I end up with multiple Apple IDs on single machines...

  • Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

    Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
    I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
    However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
    Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
    Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
    If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
    And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
    I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
    Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.

    You are welcome, Sharon.
    You should be aware that the newest version, CC, is only available as a subscription.
    CS6 can be purchased at Adobe, or second hand, see below.
    Older versions such as CS5 can only be bought second hand, with a licence transfer through Adobe, requiring that the licence has not been used as a basis for an upgrade.

  • I purchased a book through iTunes and it downloaded. I synced with my iPad. It shows the book is downloading but that has been going on for two hours and i still can't open the book.

    I purchased a book through iTunes. I then synced my iPad and went to iBooks. I clicked on the book and it shows downloading but that has been going on for almost two hours and i still can't open the book. What gives? I have done this before no problem.

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).

  • How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:

    Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by. (edit: Actually they are more likely to frequent the regular Photoshop Forum.)

  • Ive got an mac book pro i bought the lead to connect to tv but is there a lead where you can have the sound from the tv and not through the laptop?

    ive got a mac book pro i bought the lead to connect to the tv but is there a lead for the sound to come out of the tv and not the laptop?

    Depends which Macbook Pro, depends what cable you have. MBPs from 2010 onwards can transmit audio through their Displayport connectors if you have an HDMI input on your TV and an adaptor which also transmits audio. Not all Displayport-HDMI adaptors do this. If you're trying a VGA input on your TV, that will not carry audio.
    If your MBP is older than 2010, you will need to use a separate audio cable to connect from your computer's 3.5" mini audio connector to the appropriate audio input on your TV.

  • Can you add 3g to the ipad mini later if you purchase the non cellular model?

    I am interested in buying an ipad mini but I'm not sure whether to get the ipad mini with cellular data. So does anyone know if I can add the 3g later to the ipad mini if I purchase the non cellular model?
    Thanks,

    No you can't, and the ipad mini is 4g LTE. It doesn't come with the hardware to enable cellular if you don't buy one with cellular

    Hi naderanissi
    This is just a user - to - user support forum so no one can help you with payments.
    The Apple Store accepts different forms of payments in different countries. If you do not have the option to pay with a debit card then you must choose another form of payment.
    Try calling Apple at the phone number that appears in your Apple Online Store.

  • I purchased a book through iBooks and it turns out it wasn't the audiobook, which is what I needed. Is there anyway I can get the $12 or so about put back into my account since I am having to also buy an audiobook?

    I was suppose to buy an audiobook but ended up buying the book which I thought was the audiobook. Since I'm having to purchase 2 books(and I only need the audiobook) can I get a refund on the book? How exactly does that work? Or does that work at all?
