Corrupt iBook on desktop

Hi there. How do i re-download book purchased on iTunes that is corrupt on desktop but OK on iPhone & iPad?

Hi Jo,
To delete a book on your iBooks app, just select your book that is giving you trouble and then hit the delete key on your keyboard. Then it would be a matter of downloading the book again by clicking the cloud button that is left in its place. Take a look at the articles below for more information and steps on how to do it.

Word Web App can't open a document (corruption) but Word Desktop can

Hi,
My team and I are currently working on integrating a custom WOPI-Host and everything is going pretty good. While testing out different documents that will be used in the system to see the supported features and the reaction of Word Web App we found
a document that is problematic.
First things first, we took a document that was in Word 97-2003 version (.doc) and converted it in Word Documents (.docx). We had to actually use the Word Desktop Convert functionality because using "Save As" wouldn't work. We found
out that the document had Custom XML Data which was the reason that the "Save As" didn't work. So we did 2 version of the document in docx version. One that kept the Custom XML Data and one that didn't have it.
Now when we try to open the documents in the Word Web App, both trigger the same error: "Sorry, Word Web App can't edit this document because it appears to be corrupt.". What I don't really understand is that I can open them in the Desktop
version of Word without any problems. Also, if it was simply the Custom XML Data that would prevent Word Web App to open the document, how come the version of the document without these Custom XML Data is still considered corrupted by the Word Web App.
If needed, I can send the documents in question (probably by email since I don't see an option to attach them to this question).
Thanks,
Patrick Racicot

Hi,
I understand you can't open the Word documents from Word Web App, but may I know how you converted them? What is that "Word Desktop Convert functionality"? Would you please detail the steps of the conversation?
When you try the "Save As" method, any prompt or error? Can you keep saving just ignoring the error?
Before the conversation, I suggest you try removing the hyperlinks in the original .doc document, then convert the document to .docx format, check if then it can be opened from the Word Web App.
Feel free to post back to provide more information.
Thanks,
Melon Chen

Can't enter text in iBooks fields (desktop app)

NOTE: I dunno how replies here are routed back to the post-er. If this site uses the email address tied to my apple store account I won't get your reply.
I am asking here about the Mac, or desktop, version of iBooks. Why can't I add or edit text in the document info fields?   <see inserted screen shot>    Most of my PDFs are song lede sheets or lyric sheets I have created. I often need to tweak the Title and/or Author info. Again -- I am NOT talking about eBooks but about PDF documents and PDF collections that the user stores in iBooks. Modifying the text in these fields via iTunes was a snap.   When Mavericks renived iBooks from its original iTunes portal to a standalone app, it dissed all the special test I had entered into the author and category fields. It kept the file name and nothing else.   All my PDFs entered the new iBooks showing my name as the author (??)
I have tried CMD-I cliicking on the files ... OPT-I....CTRL-I ...other keystrokes. I find no way to pull up a file info window or other interface that lets me edit these fields. I can't even change the NAME of the document without opening it, making a SAVE AS> copy to the desktop, changing the file name on the desktop, then reimporting the newly named file to replace the old one. Ugh! Is that really how Apple designed this desktop version?    -- David in Kansas City
[Yes, yes. I user other PDF-management apps that are great and more versatile. GoodReader is probably my favorite. But I had enjoyed iBooks to this point as a base station -- a central location for all PDF files]   The ones I want to annotate or modify in other ways are sent over to GoodReader]

Hi Nick,
Was the 'auto find' feature added by a Safari add-on? I don't recall Safari doing that by default. It sounds like that add-on is now interfering with the newer Safari - uninstall it if possible.

How do i transfer an ibook from desktop to macbook pro

I have a second hand mac book pro and need to transfer my ibook files from a desktop to the laptop. How do I do it?

If it's just one small book, eMail it to yourself, as an attachment.
Open Apple mail.
Open a new message.
Address the eMail to yourself.
Drag the book image onto the new message and it will be added as an attachment.
Send the eMail to yourself.
Open the eMail in your MacBook Pro.
Click on the attachment and open it.
This way you don't have to buy Firewire cords, that can be expensive and go to target mode, etc.
* Note: Some providers don't like zipped books in the mail, so attach it in .pdf, .html, .lit form.
** Note: Some providers have size limits on eMail.
             If yours does, go with dragging the image onto a USB Flash Drive.
             Staples, Walmart, etc. sell the size you need for less than $ 5.00

External monitor with ibook as desktop

Is there a way to close the lid of my ibook and use it as a desktop when I'm at home connected to an external monitor? Does that make sense?

I found the iBook G4 manual and could find nothing referring to the question you have. About the only info I could find sent me to the Mac's built in Help function. Below is the quote from the manual.
For More Information on Using an External Monitor or TV
Additional information on using and configuring an external monitor is available in
Mac OS Help. Choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar and search for “monitor.”

2.2 hyperlinks not working in ibooks for desktop

Hi there,
So, I'm using 2.2's new feature in which you can create a text hyperlink to another part of the book from a drop-down menu in the inspector.
It works perfectly in Author itself, and also when previewed on my iPad - so I know I'm doing it correctly. But when I preview or export the same file to iBooks app on my desktop, the links just jump back to the beginning of the chapter. Is this an Apple fail?
iBook Author 2.2

Thanks for responding. I'm currently waiting to hear from my developers BUT the X5 version works OK in the developer's browser and the RoboHelp 9 WebHelp does not.

IBook to Desktop

Basically this year in my dorm I found that i have a single room which means that I can have my iBook out without to worry about it. My question is I really want to max it out make it almost like a desktop when its in my room. If anyone has any suggestions on things that they have done that would be great.
Jon

I too use my Ibook as a desktop whenever I'm home. I wanted a real keyboard (I miss having the number pad) and a mouse. I picked up a Mighty Mouse, an Apple keyboard and a Icurve laptop stand. The Icurve is the best purchase I've ever made. Expensive for what it is but it lifts up the Ibook so the screen is at a much better height and allows for the keyboard to be partially slid underneath it for extra room. I also have my USB hub set up under it as well. The thing looks cool, makes it more comfortable to work with my Ibook and allows for great airflow to keep it cool.
The Mighty Mouse and Keyboard are nice too. The keyboard has two USB slots which is really nice, pluged my hub into one, my mouse into the other. Then I just have to plug the keyboard and my ipod cable into my Ibook and I have everything connected that I need all ready to go at my desk. Plus, I find it easier to type with the slight upward curve of the keyboard.

Ibook to desktop syncing best practices

trying to keep my ibook in sync with my g5 desktop. Client projects in addition to the entourage data files, etc.. I've come across numerous scenarios and recommendations. Anyone with any best practice suggestions, ie: software, syncing scenarios, automation, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Hugh
The settings that you are looking for are in Itunes. you can choose to sync only unlistened podcasts.
If you go to the podcast section in itunes, there is a filed that says keep and you can choose from the following options:
All episodes
All unplayed episodes
Most Recent episode
Then when you connect your ipod you will then see an optionto only sync the unlistened podcasts and you should be all set.

Pointer corruption on Remote Desktop 8.0.3

There are two aspects to my problem relating to mouse pointer display on my Retina macbook pro, running Remote Desktop 8.0.3.
1. When connecting to a Windows 7 machine, with high DPI setting enabled (Control Panel->All Control Panel Items->Display set to Larger - 150%), the mouse appears corrupted on my Retina mac display.
2. When the DPI setting is set to Smaller - 100%, the pointer appears blocky. Pixels appear double the size supported by my Retina mac.
Is it possible to properly support the high DPI setting of my mac on the windows RDP session, without corruption, or pixel scaling?

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm seeing the same on a Retina Display.
If the Windows machine is set to 100% DPI, the mouse pinter is the correct size 100%.
If the Windows machine is set to 150% DPI, the mouse pointer is actually set to 200% DPI.
If the Windows machine is set to 200% DPI, the mouse pointer is set to 400% DPI.

Odd graphical corruption of windows desktop - UPDATE

Hi,
Been running my new system for a couple of weeks now with no problems.
However today, after leaving the PC off all day, I came to turn it on to be presented with one strange looking windows desktop.
Multi coloured dots covered the screen, and although not heavily spread, they were evident.
They also appeared to move as on screen actions were carried out, for example, scrolling a page in IE.
After a warm reboot the problem has vanished, and hasn't occoured since (today).
Ive seen this kinda thing before with older cards, and it usually came down to some fundemental hardware issue.
Im hoping this isn't the case.....
Are there any known issues or problems that may causes this?
All temps were normal with the GPU at only 55 degrees.
Nothing is overclocked.
System config should be in my sig.
Thanks in advance.

when you cold start the computer uses a huge amount of power to spin up harddrives and fans for example.
and its possible that can affect the gfx card and when you reboot the card resets and it fixes itself.
yeah, thats the only part of the PC I didnt buy, it was actually given to me, and I had a feeling it was trash.
Still, Ive havent noticed any power related issues after 2 weeks, but I think it may be a good idea to swap it out for a good power unit.
Any suggestions as to a good one thats not too expensive?

Will mp3s from a corrupt iPod screw up my iBook

Hi
I should give a bit of history for this question. I recently discovered both the hard drive and the logic board on my 3 year old iBook were horribly corrupted. I had to buy a new hard drive, and Apple replaced my logic board.
Four days after I got my computer back, my 3 month old iPod began exhibiting symptoms that seem to stem from a faulty hard drive as well. About 10% of the time, I could get the iPod menu screen to come up (the other times the iPod doesn't even turn on) but when I went to play any song, it would skip to the next song, etc.
Right before I sent the iPod back to Apple, I decided, just for kicks, to see one more time if I could use the program iPod Viewer to copy the music from my iPod back onto my iBook with its new hard drive. Amazingly, it worked. I backed up all my music. When I disconnected my iPod, suddenly, it worked again.
I am, of course, confused about why my iPod would suddenly start working again. But I am most concerned about this: These mp3's originated on my corrupt iBook hard drive and then were on my bizarre iPod. Will having them on my new hard drive corrupt it?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

Haven't heard of 'inssider' . Will give that a try.
I also have a Motorola baby video monitor in the room. Don't know if that can cause probs.
although I was told that other equipment (i.e. baby monitors) use G technology and wouldn't interfere with an N router)
This is not correct.. G and N both use 2.4ghz with the same band and same channels.
And unless the baby monitor is plugged into a computer it is not using wifi at all.. it is simply using the free band 2.4ghz.
Turn it off during the day and see if it makes a difference.
Unfortunately a program that analyses wifi cannot see things like cordless phone or baby monitors because they use different technology to wifi but still cause interference.
Wireless QoS, WMM (WiFi Multi media)
Supports up-to 300 Mbps data transfer
Is this a dual router???
No it is single band.. 2.4ghz.
Dual band wireless uses 5ghz as well as 2.4ghz.
Since there is so much stuff using 2.4ghz these days people are moving the 5ghz but the range is much poorer so you need rather special high power units.. which are expensive.
Also the wireless card at the other end has to be compliant to 5ghz.. most laptops for instance are.. but a lot of desktop cards or devices still need 2.4ghz.
Didn't want to purchase one if its likely to not make a difference. Would be an expensive trial and error!!
Purchase from a store that allows return.
As I said .. wireless is not science.. it is not going to give predictable results.. ethernet yes.. if you pay to get it wired it will work exactly to spec.. it is science.. wireless is voodoo.. it is affected by too many factors to give predictable results. So you have no choice but to trial and error.. sorry!!

IBook Desktop vs Tablet

I created a simple color change widget in iBooks. It works fine in iBooks for Desktop. But dosen't work on the tablet.(same version) what is the difference between the two?

Using Adobe Muse, you can create individual site layouts for web content to be displayed on desktop, smartphones, and tablets. Alternate layouts are important because desktop sites contain a lot of information, usually much more than needed for a smartphone or tablet site.
Further to answer your queries :
1. "Do I have to work on all of them and re-do them all??? " Its up to your requirements, If you want separate layouts for desktop, smartphones, and tablets , you need to create individual layouts for them.
2. "Can I just work on desktop and leave the other ones alone?" Yes, you may . If you want the same desktop site to show up in phone and tablets, you may leave separate phone and tablet layouts and have just desktop one created,

arent as friendly to export, but i see similar complaints about crypto.

It sounds like your desktop profile is (still?) corrupt; it's failing to process the wipe on bookmarks. So let's be super thorough: we'll clean up the desktop, then reconnect so the Android device's data will replace it.
My suggestion is to do the following. Read all of the steps before you start. I recommend that your Android device is on wifi.
# On your Android device, go to Settings > Accounts & sync. Remove your Sync account. Your Firefox profile will be unchanged.
# On your desktop, create a new profile.
# On the new profile, assuming you want to re-use your Sync account, follow the instructions below.
# Re-pair your Android device with the new desktop profile, and wait for it to finish syncing before syncing the desktop.
Connecting to an existing sync account:
# Set Up Sync
# I have an account
# I don't have the device with me
# Enter username and password, choose "I have lost my other device"
# You'll get a dialog with a new recovery key. Choose "Change recovery key".
Let me know if you have any problems!

Connecting 9.2.2 iBook G3 to iMac with 10.4.9

I've finally determined (tech support docs on 10.3.9 and online help do NOT make this simple to determine) that AFP ain't supported on 10.4.
Here is my current problem:
Open Public folder on iMac (10.4.9, Personal File Sharing enabled) using Chooser and the network icon on the iBook’s Desktop. File Sharing (or is it AppleTalk) Control Panel on the iBook has the "Applehare over TCP/IP" option enabled).
1. Open finder window to OS X drop box
2. Click and drag file to open window
3. Copying starts and progress dialog comes up
4. First error alert: The File Service's Connection Has Unexpectedly Closed Down
5. Dismiss that dialog and
6. "The Selected Files Could Not Be Copied Because the Server Is No Longer Connected."
I then installed Shareway IP Personal, latest version.
Restart iBook. I get the same error and error messages.
During all this time, a connection from iBook to a Blue and White running 10.3.9 remains connected and usable, as does the file sharing connection to an OS 9.2.2 Blue and White.
I'm a very savvy pre-OS X Mac user and a reasonably savvy OS X user, though simple file sharing in the house with OS X has become an exercise in bafflement.
The iBook is using an AirPort card through an Asante Wireless VPN Security Router, which is connected to my IP provider. All other Macs are wired.

Yeah, 10.4.9 broke Appletalk even further than 10.4.0 did!
I've been able, (using the old Shareway), to download either way, but not upload either way over a few KB.
10.4.9 copies from my OS9.2.2 machine to itself fine. OS9.2.2 copies from the 10.4.9 machine fine, but trying to put it either way will get that "no longer connected", and most of the time then freeze one or both machines until I reboot the OS9.2.2 machine.

Printer Sharing with Windows Desktop

I wanted to share my HP Printer over the Wi-Fi network.
The printer is connected to my HP Pavilion Windows PC.
I added the network printer and when i print, it displays error message:
"Connection Error: NTSTATUS_BAD_NETWORKNAME"
How can i fix this problem?
Thanks!
P.S. I tried plugging the printer to my iBook directly via USB, and of course, it worked perfectly without installing any drivers. But it's nicer if i can print via network without pulling and plugging out cables everytime. Also, the iBook can "communicate" with my PC, as both can share files.

I've had a similar problem with my HP Printer, I don't get an error message printed but I do when I try to print- it just hangs. Again, when attached there are no probs and the iBook and desktop PC can communicate fine. I looked into it a bit more and found out that HP knew about the problem and were working on driver updates. It may be that this is the problem with your as well and until HP do something about it we're stuffed! Try going to the HP website and downloading the most upto date drivers for ur iBook and PC. It may help! Sorry to be the bringer of bad news!
