Does Lion include support for iBooks?

Is there an iBooks application now available to the Mac community under Lion?
If so, I'll purchase and download Lion and convert to iBooks in a heartbeat. 
If not, I'll stick with Snow Leopard and Kindle.
Don't want nor need a cell phone, Ain't buying a pad or reader, listen to the local FM Rock station and don't need an iPod, but ...
I live by my MacBook Air.
I read on my MacBook Air.
And ... having played with it in the Apple Store, would really like to use iBooks on my MacBook Air.
I'd rather give Apple my money for books than Amazon, but I ain't gonna puke up hundreds of more dollars for an i-Pad, Pod or Phone for the privilege of doing so.
So, What Say You?  Is there an iBooks application now available to the Mac community under Lion?

Older Macs, some models back as far as 2007, can run Mavericks and hence get the iBooks app, and Mavericks is free for any system that has at least Mac OS X 10.6.8.
And you posted in the thread that was last active over two years ago, predating Mavericks by a long time, just FYI. Not usually a very productive approach.

  • Does lion server support a single email address across multiple devices??

    I am looking to move from an outdated Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to OS X Lion Server but I am unsure as to how Lion will handle email. I do not want to spend money on a new windows server if I can get a Mac Mini Server to do the job. I am a very small business with a number of email accounts for a couple employees and need access to email and calendar from both the office iMac's and my Macbook Pro when on the road. My IT guy says I need Exchange but he's been off base on a few other items recently and I wanted to check with other sources.
    I have 2 new iMac's, a MacBook Pro, an iPad1 and and iPhone4 on the mac side of things and 2 windows computers running XP. I would get rid of the windows computers completely if not for my CAD program which runs best not in a virtual machine mode.
    How well will email and calendar entries sync across devices?

    I have a very similar setup at my office. Lion Server will push email, calandar, contacts to all of your apple product with out a hitch.
    As far the Windows XP machines, you can access email over IMAP with Thunderbird, and calandars via sunbird or the built in web app.
    I would ditch the exchange server move to Mac OS X Server, and never look back.
    God Luck!
    PS. All of your devices will be in sync all the time.

  • OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

    OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

    Hi there,
    If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
    There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
    Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
    I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
    I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
    Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
    Any other queries, just ask,
    Nathan

  • Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script?

    Hi All!
    My LabVIEW application requires users to enter their observations in a string control which is then stored in an excel file.
    Now the issue is that the user wants to enter the data in Urdu language.
    Now my question is, Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script in a string control?
    If yes how can I implement this? If no, is there any possibility that National Instruments could extend some help in this regard upon request?
    Regards,
    Reeves

    My experience from Hebrew, which is also right to left, is that it can be done if the operating system supports it, but it will work badly if you include anything in the text which is not an Urdu letter. This causes it to be displayed in the wrong side of the control and is only solved if you add more Urdu text after it.
    One option you can try is including an ActiveX control (such as the rich text box) for editing the text and then you can probably get the text from it using a property. I don't remember trying it (my users don't usually need to input Hebrew text themselves), but I think it should work. I wouldn't have any hopes for NI doing anything about this, because it's considered to be a relatively small market.
    Try to take over the world!

  • Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

    Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
    FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
    As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

    Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
    Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
    If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
    Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
    It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

  • Apple associated publishers for Ibook Store (example: Lulu, SmashWords) have not support for Ibook Author native format (.ibook)

    Apple associated publishers for Ibook Store (example: Lulu, SmashWords) have not support for Ibook Author native format (.ibook) how ebook source. Only Word archives are supported.
    Obtain TAX ID for non USA resident is impossible without pay to much money.
    How to publish in Ibookstore a non USA resident author, in new Ibook Author format?

    Regardless of what format you want to use, you can't publish in the iBookstore without meeting Apple's requirements, so if you find those too difficult, you need to go elsewhere.

  • Rep. does not have support for Oracle Designer

    We're new to SCM and just useing SCM with JDeveloper.
    Sorry for newbie stupidness. Searches of this forum didn't
    turn up any hits on 21247 or other strings.
    Given: brand new install of SCM. Created a private workarea
    with RON. Attempting to use RAU to enable branching and
    versioning.
    I'm having some chicken-vs-the-egg problems. I can't
    enable branching in my shared workarea with RAU because it
    seems to want to pop up the Migration Dialogue and then
    this error occurs:
    CDR-21247: Error Cannot proceed!
    The target repository does not have support for Oracle Designer
    objects
    Any help or tip would be greatly appreciated.

    Curt,
    If you managed to create a private workarea from the RON then versioning is enabled. You would have enabled this from the RAU.
    Oracle 9i JDeveloper release candidate provides a wizard to create the workarea and private branch.
    There are now two flavours of the repository, one with Designer + file and folder support and one with just files and folder support.
    If you have no structured Designer components you do not require the Designer support to use JDeveloper with Oracle SCM.
    I suggest you try the JDeveloper wizards. The RAU also offers a menu to examine repository object state. Check that you have no invalid
    objects, they can be recompiled using the RAU.

  • Snes emulator for mountain lion with support for usb controller dongle

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded an snes emulator online and found that it does run the super nintendo game fine though it doesn't have support for the usb dongle for the controller. By any chance does anyone know a emular plug in or emulator for mountain lion that has this support for a usb joystick.

    Thanks for the reply. Still curious if Apple did right by their customers as the support rep implied that they would. I can't confirm either because I discovered tonight that I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion yet until Mariner Software decides to make one of their products compatible with 10.8.  Starting to think I need to find an alternative to their product.

  • I have an Advaned Format WD drive,will it work with Lion?Does Lion even support AF?

    I have a "new" mid 2009 MacBook, and I'm replacing everything on it so I can use it for school. I want to use Lion, and decided to get a new hard drive to compliment the upgrade.I ordered a WD Scorpio Black drive...but just realized it had Advanced Format in the description. I noticed alot of reviewers said it worked with their MacBook Pro's, but dont know if they succesfully got AF to work or not...sounds like there would be a serious performance hit if they couldnt get it to work.Does Lion have any way to format the drive in AF?Is it even necessary?

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • Why Apple does not offer support for linux?

    We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
    We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
    Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.

    Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
    offer a total solution. Now they even can have
    windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
    version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
    Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
    with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
    doing with a mac.
    I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
    Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
    Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
    Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't.

  • Multilanguage Support for iBooks

    I have downloaded a variety of English, French and Spanish books but the dictionary feature only works for English words. How do I enable more (well, actually, a normal amount of) functionality for these other languages? How do the rest of you multi linguists out there handle this?

    How do I enable more
    There are no more to enable. Apple only provides English and Japanese dictionaries for iBooks. It is stated in their FAQ:

  • U510 - does Lenovo offer support for standard issues?

    Hi, I wonder if Lenovo offer any support for the very common issues that this product of theirs has?
    1. This products energy management reacts to low battery by shutting down the wifi totally, and you ar not able to turn it on again in other ways than recharging the battery to a high percentage, plus shutting down and restarting the computer totally. This is incredibly disturbing, almost as disturbing as the fact that Lenovo seems to have put no effort in solving the problem. Does Lenovo not have aim to help its customers with this? No updates in the energy management system? No work-arounds?  Some users say they have uninstalled Lenovo Energy Management 8 and installed version 7 but it does not install on my Windows 8.1. 
    2. This product has what Lenovo calls a "Mini-VGA" port. With my U510 there came an adapter for connecting standard VGA cables to the port. It did not work and I have found no evidence of anyone getting it t work, only problems with it. And not a single answer regarding the problems by Lenovo? Has anyone got an answer about how to get it to work, or has someone found that their mini-VGA works with an adapter? Did anyone get help by Lenovo?  (Not me) Please share if !
    3. The Touchpad of this computer might work in the beginning (or at least I have found some posts claiming that it did) but most seem to have the same problem as me, the touchpad being very coarse and clumsy, running away and not reacting to right-button clicks very often. I have found no answer by Lenovo regarding this problem. Getting a physical guarantee service would have taken more than a month, a time lapse which was impossible for me to take without a computer.  Anyone got a software solution by lenovo for this one, or is it a physical error in this model?
    Cheers Ben

    answer to 2. if you had the adapter connected to your laptop and a cable from laptop to monitor make sure you press fn + f3 after that will let you enable so laptops screen appears on monitor or tv you connected to if it shows up as black pic

    Hi,
    I have line and wechat installed in my phone. But I cannot see the option to either receive the calls or make the calls through such apps.
    Is it because my phone hardware doesn't support voip feature or anything else.
    Since whatsapp is not yet release, can we expect voip on it or it will be the same as line and wechat.
    Thanks for your sharing your opinion in advance....

    VOIP is possible with the S40 platform (please refer to this link and also this for more info). It is just that the applications you have mentioned does not currently support any calling feature.
