How can I view an ibook on an external projector?

I am trying to project an ibook on an external projector. The projector will only display my desktop. Is there a setting to make this happen? I also have the same problem projecting a video from an external usb drive, and not sure how to solve this problem

Agreed — reading books on an iPhone or iPod is just too hard. The iPad is ideal for it, and so much more versatile than a Kindle or a Nook (but more expensive too, of course).
My wife made noises for several months about wanting an iPad to replace her creaky old Dell desktop computer, but I convinced her that was a bad idea: no real keyboard to type on, no familiar Windoze apps available, etc. etc. But she was crestfallen: she really seemed to like the idea of the iPad, even if she had to keep using the Dell. So a couple of weeks ago I took her to look at iPads, and I told her "Don't think of it as a computer. Think of it as a toy." Not in any disparaging sense, but in the sense of something to add pleasure to her life without needing to justify itself as a serious tool. That immediately convinced her to let me get her one (which I was going to do anyway, but this way she feels better about it!) She LOVES the iPad and, being a librarian, she's taken advantage of it to borrow e-books electronically from libraries and download free public-domain books from many available sources — things that are somewhat harder to do on a Mac. And she can read email, news, books, surf the web, and keep up with all her Facebook friends wherever she is, including places where she'd never bring a notebook computer, even a little MacBook Air. So she's still beating her head aganst the Dell in her home office, but at least now she has an alternative to it for the fun, relaxing stuff and can do it anywhere.
I also got an iPad myself, for much the same uses (except Facebook, which drives me nuts), and now my MBP spends a lot more of its time deskbound than it used to.

  • How can I view my timeline on an external monitor?

    I have a brand new mac pro tower hooked up via DVI to HMDI cable to my HD tv in my living room and I play quicktime movies and things all the time to that TV from my computer no problem.
    Does any one know how to view your Final Cut timeline on an external monitor?
    It's such a pain but what I've been doing lately is just exporting a final cut quicktime and playing it via Quicktime for clients to see but I'd rather not do that and just play off the timeline.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Umm, frankly, you missed a lot in the manual then.
    You are on the right track but the flaw in your thinking is using DVI from your video card to your tv. From Final Cut Pro, all you're getting is an extension of your desktop, that's it.
    To do what you want, you need a dedicated video input/output card from Aja or Blackmagic Designs. You may want to look at the [Intensity Pro|http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity> for a very low cost monitoring solution if all you're looking at is monitoring through hdmi.

  • How can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone

    Hi,
    how can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone?  I ask this questions in hopes that I can eventually find a way to have the iPhone read a non "Enhanced" iBook to me.
    I used the Accessibility reader for a brief time but it's very persinickety.  Move the phone a tiny bit and it threw me out from page 70 and back to page 48.  Changing pages when you are in Accessibility is excruciating. Now, I cannot get back there at all.
    I downloaded 2 apps that claim they can read to me but the closest I can get in the instructions says I need to open the iBook from my Mac computer with my iPhone connected and then I will be able to open the iBook in the app called "Read text to me".  Only when I go to open the book on my Mac it says "This book can’t be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device."
    Thank god, I only have a brain tumor and am not yet completely blind.
    I've been to the Apple store twice, checked out a youtube page with all it's comments and I am still nowhere, over the course of a week.
    Can anybody help me?
    thank you,
    Ellen

    You cannot.
    Ibooks are only for iphone/ipod touch/ipad
    So, there are no third party readers/emulators in Mac OS X and Windows to read them from iTunes? I don't even own an iOS device. I just redeemed Action Comics' Superman #1 from Starbucks and iTunes.
    This one?
    Where the REQUIREMENTS spell out that an iOS device is needed to read it?

  • How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

    how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it.  i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this.  have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off?  i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
    For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

  • How can I view my iCloud contacts from someone else's iPhone? I don't want to change their phone settings.

    Yesterday I ran into a problem that was eye opening to say the least. I could not not access my contacts in order to find a friend's phone number. No one remembers phone numbers any more. God knows I don't.
    I was on a jetski and it broke down. I was stranded at a dock miles away. I needed to contact my friend to tell him (a) I'm ok, (b) where I was, (c) to bring a tow. Of course I had no phone on me because it would have gotten soaked.
    People were kind enough on the dock to let me use their smart phones to attempt to retreive the phone number and call for help. But I quickly discovered that it is impossible.
    On an iPhone, I tried to use their Safari browser to go to www.icloud.com. When you do that, it simply redirects you to the apps. But it isn't my phone, and their apps are logged in to the owner's accounts. I wasn't about to update the settings in a stranger's phone.
    One guy let me try his iPad with Cellular. Same problem as the iphones. It would not let me use www.icloud.com. It insisted that I use the native iOS apps.
    On an Android, www.icloud.com would simply refuse to work. It would say it was not supported.
    The question I have is: How can I view my contacts from someone else's smart phone in an emergency situation?
    Second question: Why can't I use www.icloud.com on a smart phone's web browser like I can on regular computer?
    I got lucky. I happened to know my mom's home number. Many hours later she was home and I was able to use a phone to call her. She brought up www.icloud.com on her home computer, logged on as me, and read me the phone number I was seeking. But what are the chances of being able to call a trusted person who has access to a computer to do this for you?

    Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
    iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
    You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

  • How can I view Artwork on iTunes for 1 or 3 songs per Album?

    So, I am on my iTunes. On the previous Version of iTunes, you can have the list of Albums and view at the same time the Artwork whether it was for 10, 20 songs or even just 1 song. With the new version, there are four icons on the Upper Right where you can view "Cover Flow", "Album Covers", "Detailed List", "Detail List with Album Artwork"...
    When I click on the "Detail List with Album Artwork" and I want to view the Artwork for those albums that I only have 1, 3, or just 5 songs, I cannot view the Artwork. I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    How can I view the Artwork at the same time as with those that I am able to?

    I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    iTunes menu View > Aways show artwork.
    iTunes defaults to show artwork for albums with 5 or more songs.

  • How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

    How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • How can i send an ibook to a friend?

    How can I send an iBook to a friend?

    The only way to share iBooks that you have purchased is via Family Sharing, which is not what I think you are aiming for:
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    You can "Gift" a book by going to the iBooks store, selecting the book, and in the dropdown next to the price, you can select to Gift it to someone.
    To the best of my knowledge, these are the only two options.

  • How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

    I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

    How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?
    No.
    If my account has been compromised
    If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

    How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

    If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes?  If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • Purchased a movie on my iPhone throught iTunes? I can see it on my computer but I cannot get it to my iPad. I have been looking at all the setting on my computer, iPad and iPhone and I still can't view it on my iPad. How can I view it on my iPad?

    I purchased a movie on my iPhone through iTunes. I can see it on my pc and I shared all my media. I am unable to watch it or download it to my iPad. I am using the same email account for all devices for home sharing. I am not sure what the issue is with this and I have check and rechecked many settings many times. How can I view a movie I purchased on iTunes on one device, on all my other devices?

    If it's a rental film (not a purchased film) that you downloaded on your phone then you can't move it to your computer's iTunes - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
