How can I read a book bought from iTunes on a Macbook pro?

I bought a book through iTunes on my MacBook Pro and I am unable to open it. Is there anything that I can download so that I am able to read it? If not is there a way that I can get the money back from Apple that I spent on the book? Thanks

ibooks are for ipod touch/iphone and ipad only.
Sorry.
There are no refunds.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.

How do i open a book downloaded from itunes on my macbook pro since it is not a mobile device

Okay i looked them up and YES they are compatible with macs. if it's formatted for windows then no it will not show up on the mac, you need to repartition it on windows or try and see if you can pick it up in Disk Utility on osX. The following link is for this HD but talking about a mac PowerBook, it should be the same for you even if you are using the Intel macs. http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/146258-iomega-portab le-hard-drive-not-mounting.html

Why can't I read books purchased from itunes on my macbook pro?

I find it very upsetting that books purchased from itunes on a Macbook pro can not be read on a Macbook Pro.

Many MacBook Pro users are professional authors, reseachers, teachers, ... and we need to manage large libraries of copy protected digital material (journals, book collections, protected imagery, ...) , which we directly reference and include (with citations) in our writing and analyses.
Laptops and desktops are the only viable options in terms of screen real estate (multiple monitors needed), application availability (image analytics, serious statistics, real 2D and 3D modeling, ...) high speed storage attachment (the cloud can't handle many needs) and processing horse power. iPads and iPhones are a few generations away from being adequate for many such activities, which Apple had traditionally supported.
This particular oversight by the folks behind the Apple iTunes bookstore business, stands in stark contrast to what used to be our vision of the premier professional creative platfom. I find this deeply dissappointing and inconsiderate of our long term investment in apple technologies.
Asking folks to simply abandon their investment in copy protected ebook material, purchased on iTunes, is just wrong.

Why can't I rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro?

I am trying to rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I click on the gray rent movie button it does NOTHING, like I never clicked on it. I am signed in, I authorized the computer and have rented movies in the past. I do have OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3(25) because I haven't purchased new software to upgrade something that works just fine, until now. I'm not sure if the software is the problem because I have rented movies in the past 6 months. I have just tried to purchase other movies, and even songs, and it doesn't do anything when I click the gray price to purchase the song. Please help.

Same exact thing just started happening to me. Same issues as you. I have tried restarting itunes and reinstalling many times with no luck at all.

Seriously? Is there not any way to view DRM-protected books downloaded from iTunes on my MacBook Pro? I cannot believe that there is no way around this?

Seriously? Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro? I cannot believe that there is not any way around this! I seem to constantly get confounded by what seems to be the most amazingly unbelievable conundrums with Apple despite having been a champion of the company for years and years. This relates to tethering on iPhone, external Apple hard drives only being usable with MacBook Air, and now this! If anyone is aware of a hack or way around this I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

"Seriously? "
Yes.
" Is there not any way to view and read DRM-protected books downloaded on iTunes on my MacBook Pro?"
There is not.
" I cannot believe that there is not any way around this!"
Believe it.

How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

hello,
I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
Another issue.
Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
Please advise,
Have a great day!!
Brandon

A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

HT2729 How can I download an HD movie from iTunes to a MacBook Air as it has less than 2GHz Processor.

Apple won't let me download an HD movie from the iTunes store to my Macbook Air 13 inch as it has a 1.8 Ghz processor and not the 2.0 Ghz processor it says HD movies need to play. Yet this computer has enough power to play them. How do I fix this?

Hello maxr0,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article that outlines where to go to download your purchases again in iTunes.
The article named says it is for iTunes 10, but the steps will work for iTunes 11 as well.
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.
iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.
If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.
From: iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
Once you get to the page for your Movies or TV Shows, there should be a checkbox that says Download HD When Available. Uncheck that, and then download your purchase and that should get you the SD version of your video.
Take care,
Sterling

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!!!

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.
