Hello....anyone know why when emailing an epub file....it arrives in my inbox as a Zip file...and iBooks cannot open it

Hello.... can anyone tell me why when I email myself an epub file....it arrives in my inbox as a Zip file...and iBooks cannot open it. Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

  • Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

  • My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we would receive email notifications if either of us made changes to or added an event to the iCal calendar.  Does anyone know why those email notifications stopped?

    My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud.  Until recently, we received email notificiations anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar.  Does anyone know why these email notificiations stopped?

    iCloud was experiencing problems with this a couple of days ago, where many users with shared calendars were getting email notifications even though their iCloud settings did not select to receive them.  Perhaps when they fixed this problem it reverted your settings to not receive email notifications.  Got to iCloud and check your setting for this.  If it still look correct, try turning off email notifications, save the change, then turn them back on again and save the change again.

  • Does anyone know why when I send an emotiocom the recipient doesn't receive it?

    Does anyone know why when I send an emoticom the recipient doesn't receive it?

    BDAqua
    Thanx.
    I'm not sure if the recipient is using plain text or not and I don't think they could tell me if they were.  I only know they're using an older PC . . .  I'm sending in Rich text. 
    I've been sending them by goin' to Edit>Special Characters>selecting the emoticon from the list and inserting where I've clicked in the message which works when I send a message to myself.  
    I thought the other end might be getting them as attachments, but I don't know for sure. I've been goin' through my manual to find some sort of reference to that issue, but came up with nuthin'.  I imagine I could try to send a plain text email to see what happens.   

  • Does anyone know why when i change a contacts number and then try to send them a message the old number still pops up??

    Does anyone know why when I change a contacts number and then try to send them a message the old number pops up aswell??

    The phone remembers recently used numbers just like how Mail remembers recently used email addresses. As time goes by the phone will eventually forget unused number that are not in your contacts as long as you do not use it. Same for unused email addresses that are not in your contacts.

  • Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them?  When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do.  Is this legit?  An Ad?

    That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.

  • Hi does anyone know why when on certain webpages does my ipad decide to chuck me onto the app screen.

    taimsesasta, Not positive, but I was using a picture that had orange in it as my login icon, and when I changed it to a pic that was basically gray, the Apple logo no longer flashed orange. Somehow, it seems, that the Apple logo was momentarily picking up the orange color from my login art and then returning to its normal gray. That's all I know at this point.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

    You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display.  I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
    Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities.  It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
    Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

  • Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

    No, but if you really mean that the way you said it, I don't know that Print is the best way to this. If you haven't already, after selecting the images you want to get printed, try clicking the Export button in Book or Library module and then selecting format .PDF. Once you export the file to .PDF, try opening it where you saved it and printing from there, not in Lightroom but in Adobe Reader. If that doesn't help, here are a couple of videos that might--follow their instructions carefully with no shortcuts:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4's Export to PDF Using the New Book Module - YouTube
    Lightroom 5 - Exporting Images | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV
    If Lightroom keeps closing even when you try all this, you may need to reinstall Lightroom because your copy may be screwed up.

  • Anyone know why Yahoo emails will not load? Emails, including those I could previously access are blank. No problem with seeing them when using another browser

    Yahoo mail--can access inbox but cannot access individual emails. Have tried disabling all add-ons, but there is no difference. Emails are visible using another browser.

    I am modifying the correct httpd.conf file on the server, it just doesn't seem to work. - If I put the rewrite rules in the <Directory /> the rewrite works but it adds /Library/WebServer/Documents to the URL.
    I also tried putting the rewrite rules in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> but that did not work either.
    mod_rewrite is enabled and running on the server.
    I will post the rewrite rules again in the code brackets. Sorry for the long post. - If some one can try them out on their Leopard Server to see if they can get them to work, it would be much appreciated. Again, these work on my Leopard Client but I can't get them to work on Server.
    -- The httpd.conf file posted above is just the default conf file found in /private/etc/apache2/

  • Anyone know why when I redownload old purchases every file is larger?

    I have had to re download some past purchases from about 4 years ago and I noticed that the file sizes have gotten larger anywhere from 0.2 MB to 0.8 MB depending on the size of the file. And it's for every single song that I re download. I was wondering why this was? The bit rate seems to be the same but has the quality improved? Or is this just a result of newer versions of itunes and files additional features as relating to itunes? I have backed up my music and if quality is different, I would need to back it up again. Thanks

    The apps will always be tied to the old Apple ID and you will always have to sign into the old account to update or download them unless you buy or download new copies using the new ID.

  • Does anyone know how to remove books/ePub files from iTunes

    Hi.
    I need help.
    I read a lot of book from my iPad.
    I have no problem gelting my books from iTunes to iPad. Problem is, now there is lot lot of books in iTunes, and tis difficult to figure out which i havnet read. So how do i remove them from iTunes. Hope there is a way.

    Hello Zentha,
    You can definitely delete the books from iTunes!  It is the same as deleting anything else from iTunes:
    Delete an item from your library
    Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
    Click Delete Item.
    Do one of the following:
    Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
    Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.
