Hacked/copied versions of your ebook?

OK so I understand that Acrobat 9 PDFs do not really have any DRM security. Has anyone put a PDF ebook out for sale and then tracked how many hacked/unsecured copies are out on the Web via a Google search?  There seems to be two schools of thought: one is, the more copies out there, the better for your visibility, paid or not, while the other is "there's no money in giving away free content."  Has anyone sold say 1,000 copies of an ebook and then found sales plummeted at some point when the hacked version appeared on the Web?  Clearly, it boils down to readers being willing to pay, and I wonder if anyone has any direct knowledge of losing sales to "free" unauthorized versions.  I say this as an author who currently only has Kindle and Mobi versions out there, as these are pretty secure DRM rights platforms. Thank you for sharing your experiences with security and online copies.

What version of iPhoto and of the OS on each system?
Since disconnecting the EHD allows you to access your old library I suspect that you do not know how to switch libraries - launch iPhoto while holding the option key down to get the select library window to switch between libraries
And your original problem is probably incompatibable versions - older versions of iPhoto can not open libraries created by newer versions
Since you will not provide requested details these are only guesses

  • Making a new copy of iTunes your library

    Hi,
    I gave my 2 grand-nephews each an iPod shuffle (they love it!). Their dad's windows PC hard drive crashed and he instakked a new one. The kids downloaded a new iTunes. Now they get a message that iTunes will erase their iPod shuffle contents when they connect and want to add songs--there is no backup for their first library, unfortunately.
    How can they preserve the contents of their shuffles, and make a new library to which they can add new songs?
    Sorry for so long a message.
    Thanks
    hermann

    Probably the easiest thing to do is use another program designed to copy songs from your ipod back onto the computer - try a google search and you'll find several. One I have experience with is called 'copytrans' - there is a free version which should work for your grand-nephews. And make sure they make a backup of the itunes library after they get all the songs back on the computer!

  • Copy Version-Budget data copied from one version to another-How to view Data in Copied Version.

    Dear All,
    Budget Data is copied from one Version to another Version using Tools>copy Version option. How can you view Data copied to new Version, when you receive a message Version is successfully copied.
    I think we can do that by selecting appropriate version in the version dimension while accessing the Forms or in Smart View.
    Can you please let me know how to do this or different options available with this process.
    Thanks in Advance for your valuable time...

    A form to check the data with the correct POV, a Smart View query, excel addin retrieve, financial report, export data, report script, take your pick.
    Cheers

  • Planning function to copy  version A of year 2007 to Version B of 2008 - IP

    I have a copy planning function which has a variable on from version and to version and it works fine.I can copy.So version to version for the same year works fine.
               Another requirement is to copy Version A of year 2007 to version B of year 2008.For this in the planning function I made version,year and calyearmonth all 3 as changeable and have variables on from version from year and to version and to year.I don't have a variable on calyearmonth.
              I run the query for version B and year 2008 and CALYEARMONTH 1/2008-12/2008 and it returns empty results as there is no data for version B for year 2008.then I execute the planning function to copy data from version A and year 2007 to version B and year 2008.I am getting the following error "CalyearMonth is not included in selection".I ran the query for 1/2008 - 12/2008.I didn't understand this.
            In the planning function filter I don't have any filter for calyear and calyear month.But it is there in the query.
    Thanks

    Hi Siva,
    Since you do not have the calmonth as the change characteristic in your plannning function.The values would be copied to year 2008 with month as #.
    So there would be no values for months of 2008 and hence you are getting that error.
    You need to copy the month figures also for data to be seen in the report.
    Assign points if useful.

  • Restrict 'Copy Version' to admin only??

    Hi,
    Hyperion Planning and Budget - 11.1.2.1.0.83 - is there anyway to remove the 'Copy Version' functionality from users at less than Admin level, or is this functionality 'wrapped up' in a role that covers a multitude of functions such that removing 'Copy Version' would emasculate the end user??
    If not, is there any supported way to customise / reconfigure what functionality the roles allow?
    thanks for your input,
    Robert.

    You might have to secure the Versions to prevent copy into them.
    HTH-

  • Planning Copy Version

    Using version 9.3.1, I am trying to use the Planning functionality File->Workflow-> Copy Version to copy our final budget version to a new version to archive the budget so as to use it for reporting. I have tried several times and each time I try it runs for about 15 minutes and then bombs out. I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" in place of the Planning web page. It was run last year successfully. How do I know what's going on?

    Suggestion:
    If the amount of data is huge then its worth to increase the java heap settings.
    ➤ To change the Java memory settings for WebSphere:
    1 Highlight the default server in the administrator console.
    2 Enter the amount of RAM in the Initial java heap size and the Maximum java heap size fields.
    Note:
    You can set both values to 512 or 1024, depending on how much RAM your system has. If your
    system has 1 GB of physical RAM, use 512 MB as the java heap size.
    To change the Java memory settings for WebLogic:
    1 Open the CMD file used to start the application server (for example, startHPServer.cmd).
    2 Locate the section for the %JAVA_HOME% variables and make the setting changes shown below. This
    procedure is the same for Planning and Oracle's Hyperion® Financial Reporting – System 9.
    echo on
    "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -hotspot -ms256m -mx256m -classpath %CLASSPATH% -
    Dweblogic.management.discover=false -Dweblogic.Domain=Hyperion -
    Dweblogic.Name=HPServer "-Dbea.home=%BEA_HOME%" -
    Dweblogic.management.password=%WLS_PW% -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%
    STARTMODE% "-Djava.security.policy==%WEBLOGIC_HOME%/lib/weblogic.policy"
    weblogic.Server
    goto finish
    And anytime you can use a calc script or a business rule to Copy Version.
    Cheers...!!!

  • Kindle or ibooks version of an ebook, which should i purchase for my ipad2 and iphone4s?

    If there is a kindle version Using kindle app)  and an ibooks version of an ebook, which version should I purchase for my ipad2 and iphone 4s if I have the choice and why?

    No, and due to ebooks tending to have digital rights management on them you will only be able to read a book in that store's app or e-reader. For Kindle books you will need to download them in the Kindle app on the iPad, and I assume for Nook that you also download them manually in the app - as far as I know the iCloud only works with the iBooks app. For Kindle :
    Whispersync automatically synchronizes your bookmarks and your reading location among devices registered to the same Amazon.co.uk account and is enabled by default. When you open a Kindle book you are also reading on another device, you are given the choice to go to the furthest page read if you are further ahead on the other device

    What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.
