Can you read books on Mac laptop that were purchased on iPod touch?

I bought a few books through ibooks on my Ipod touch, but there are some forms that I want to print and recipes that I would like to see in the bigger screen of my laptop, but although they show as purchased on my laptop I cannot open them to read them.

If you wish to read books on your Mac, get the Kindle App for Mac, and purchase books from the Amazon Kindle Store. 
In contrast to the restrictive iBook format, Kindle books can be read on Mac, iOS devices, and many other platforms.

    can you read books on the ipad in direct sunlight ?

    Not very easily no. If you can get a non-reflective screen cover it might be a bit better, but it probably still won't be as good as, for example, a Kindle device is.

  • Two mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch. Sync apps?

    Hi there, between my wife and I, we have two Mac laptops, one iPhone and an iPod touch.  The iPod touch is new- is it possible to get the apps that have already been purchased for the iPhone, onto the iTouch?

    you can use home sharing to transfer media files (incl. apps) between the two Macs. if you and your wife use separate Apple ID's to purchase content, authorize the wife's machine for yours and yours for hers.
    is there a way to make both portable devices work with both macs?
    by design, iOS devices sync with only one library at a time.
    i am hoping the "home sharing" feature will be the answer but so far i have not been able to make it work.

  • Can I use more than 1 laptop to download iTunes for iPod touch please

    Can I use more than 1 laptop to download iTunes to iPod touch?

    My daughter disabled her iPod we took it into the shop to reset it but when I'm starting to add details again it says connect to iTunes we have never used a laptop with this as ours is broken. Someone has offered to do it on their laptop that's why I have asked. Is there no way we could use another laptop in the future. We only buy iTunes cards for it at the moment.

  • How do you get your ring/text tones that were purchased back on your phone

    how do you get your ring/text tones that were purchased back on your phone

    Hey there oops31,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to know how to get tones that you’ve previously purchased on your iPhone 4s. The article linked below outlines the options for downloading past purchases and includes information about syncing tones from iTunes to your iOS device.
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
    If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.
    Cheers,

  • HT5544 Can you read ibooks on mac pro laptop?

    If I download the ibooks app to my mac pro laptop, and then purchase an ibook through itunes, can I read it from my mac pro laptop or do I need an iPad, iPod or iPhone?

    Hi rosemaryfromdelta,
    No, you cannot read iBooks on a Mac. However, you can read Kindle books on a Mac. Download the free Kindle application, set up a Kindle account on Amazon, and purchase your e-books through the Kindle store on Amazon.
    P.S. - if you do ever get an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can also download the Kindle app to them, and you will be able to read any books you have purchased on those devices as well....
    Hope that helps!
    Cheers,

  • Can you read books purchased on iTunes on your pc?

    My iPhones has a cracked screen. I am waiting until march when my next update is avail to upgrade. I would like to purchase a book on iTunes and read it on there as well. Is this possible or do I have to use iBooks, newstand etc..
    Thanks.

    To read ibooks bought from Apple you need the iBooks app, so you need an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch - so far Apple haven't made a Mac or PC program with which you can read them. If you buy the book from, for example, Amazon then they have a Kindle program for your computer with which you can read purchases from them

  • HT4059 I can no longer read books using ibooks, i have the second gen ipod touch

    what other app can i use to read books other than ibooks this app is no longer compatible with my ipod

    So if you spent money on one of these two devices, its just a poke in the eye? No solution to simply wanting to read books you paid for? Is it being suggested that old ipods can't handle books?  There's no possible way to make them compatible?  Is Apple's solution "just buy the newer one" like everyone just has that kind of disposable income.
    EDIT: my mother has this issue, and she asked me "What is the solution to problems like this?" and I replied, "Android"

  • Can you wake up your Mac remotely to control it from iPod using VNC app?

    I have the VNC app that allows you to connect to your Mac or PC and control it from your iPod. Your iPod screen displays a miniature version of you computer and by using a selection of tools you are able to do everything on you Mac remotely. The problem is that when you go away or are away from your computer you don't want to have to leave it running continuously so the preferred option is to let it sleep and wake it up remotely when you need to access it. I tried calling Skype on my Mac from another computer but either just leaves a message or rings but doesn't bring the Mac out of sleep mode. This little VNC app is amazing and very useful only if I can get my Mac to wake up so I can connect to it. If not, great app but useless... at least for me.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Kev

    How about using SSH to remote secure shell into your Mac? That might wake it up.
    Touchterm is the touch app to use for ssh.

  • Can you add a percentage for the battery usage on the iPod touch like the iPad and iPhone

  • Can you read/write to Mac partition from Windows 7 partition with bootcamp?

    Hi there. I am about to take delivery of a new Air and want to install Windows on it. As accessing both simultaneously isn't important to me, I don't mind using boot camp and would like the performance gains (if there are any?) of booting straight into either.
    The question is: would I be able to, from Windows, access and edit (have full access to) files stored on the Mac partition?
    Furthermore, does anyone know whether I could run itunes on both using the same set of files (i.e. exactly the same itunes whether in OS X or Windows?).
    Thanks very much for your help. I have heard contradictory things so wanted to see what the real answer was!
    Thanks,
    Tom.

    iTunes has to be somewhere you can write. There are some tips on iTunes probably in the devoted forums.
    But writing to Mac partition (HFS+) requires 3rd party driver. Same for writing to NTFS from Mac OS.
    I would not recommend MacDrive8 for allowing Windows to write to Mac HFS, but that is and was the first to do so. Paragon-Software has been creating some file system drivers for Windows, Linux and now Mac to go both ways. Most of their products are in the backup & recovery and partitioning area.
    Apple has added read-only feature to allow accessing HFS but the feature (and it is not really a service or driver that you can turn on/off or choose to not install, it is part of the Boot Camp package) has been known to need to be renamed/deleted. Not always but will sometimes trigger BSOD. Maybe reading a file with a file name? doubt it but I rename "AppleHFS" and "AppleMNT" so they don't load or function in Windows 7.

  • HT4236 I am trying to delete some photos that I imported from my computer, but I can't find a set of instructions that work for my iPod touch 4

    I can't seem to get rid of some photos that I imported from my computer. Could someone guide me on the precise procedure?

    1) Connect your iPod to your machine and open iTunes
    2) Select your iPod from the Itunes sidebar. If the sidebar is unavailable (View > Show sidebar)
    3) After you click your iPod device, navigate over to the 'Photos' Tab
    4) Uncheck 'Sync Photos from: ____'
    5) Click sync in the bottom right hand corner and the photos will be removed from your iPod.

    It depends where you bought the book...
    If it came from the Kindle Store, you can read it on your PC by using the Kindle for PC app.
    If it is an iBook that you bought from Apple, it can only be read on an iOS device.  Not only can you not read it on a PC, you can't even read it on a Mac!!!
