How do you open a book on your library shelf?

Adobe digital editions is unnecessarily difficult to use.  It doesn't have to look like a library it just has to work.  I cannot seem to open a book or change the list on the shelf.  I want to change the order of the list and cannot do that.  Listen guys just make it easier.  Highlight your choice, select it and voila open it...and start reading.    ?  I downloaded a book and can't open it ---then all the way on the right side of the page it says missing.  How is it missing? It is on my list.
someone please Help.
Thank you

I tried that but only had 3 choices.....open, delete and sometig else I can't see right now.  anyway...programmers should lie writers consider wh0 they are writing for.  Some of us, (and who are people who read most?Oldsters, invalids, those who are not physically active) are stay at home and older and not so computer savvy.  If your program is too convoluted for lots of people , your product will not get used and your company will not make any money. Your product will fall by the waside infavor of more easily used programs.
I will work it out because I am not the type to give up.  But I will not enjoy it.  Thanks for your help.

Don't panic!  Things aren't that bad.... We all expect programs to work in a certain way, based on what we thinkthey should do and how they should do it.  BUT - we're users, notprogrammers, so what THEY think is what WE have to work with.  So, how harda program is to use has a lot to do with the differences in viewpoint arebetween the programmers and you.  You can ease the pain by reading the HELPsection in ADE (F1 key from Library view), which has explanations of how itworks. You can change the display order in Library mode easily.  The upper rightcorner of the screen has a box that shows you how the library items arebeing displayed now.  Put your cursor on the small arrow next to it.  Clickon that arrow, and a drop-down box will show you what your options are -all seven of them. If an ebook is 'missing', it could be that the download process did notfinish correctly.  That could happen for a number of reasons beyond thecontrol of ADE, including disconnection before the ebook was finalized, a'hiccup' during the download, an issue with the ebook's data and other notso common problems.  Try deleting the title from your Library anddownloading the ebook again.  That's all I can suggest, because I haven'tfound a way to 'fix' that situation without doing another download. ============

    HOW DO YOU REMOVE A BOOK FROM YOUR IPOD?

    Do you mean an audiobook?  It will depending on how you have your iPod and iTunes setup.  In the Sidebar, you should be able to expand the items under your iPod so you can see Books.  Then rt click on the audiobook in your iPod's audiobooks and click delete.  If the Sidebar is not open, then on Windows, the Crtl + S key will open it.
    If you're 'Syncing' you iPod to iTunes, there will be other steps to remove the audiobook.  You'd probably need to uncheck the audiobook in iTunes, then re-sync.

  • How do you see the size of your library now in iTunes 11?

    On iTunes 10 when you were looking at your song list, at the bottom everyone has seen the small informative text that tells you how many days it would take to listen to the songs that you currently have on the screen. Where is that information now??
    How do you see the size of your library, or is there an option in iTunes 11 that will allow you to enable a way to see that text again at the bottom of your screen?

    In the menu bar, open "view", and click "show status bar"
    (Or the shortcut to toggle it is CTRL + / )

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

  • How do you get songs not in your library?

    I have some songs that are not in my library so I can't download them into my iPod. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

    Locate the tracks (songs) and drag them into the iTunes "Library" section. Then Create a play list from the "file" menu (so you can quickly find your song/s) and drag the songs from the library, over to the playlist in which you want them and let them drop in.
    Plug in your iPod (make sure that you do not disconnect the iPod if it says "Do Not disconnect").
    Go to "preferences of iTunes under the "File" menu. Click on the "iPod" icon.
    Once there, click on the "music" tab and make sure the box for "automatically update all songs and playlists" (something like that), is checked.
    Update your iPod and your newly added songs should be copied over to your iPod.

    Open the iBooks app. All your iBooks should load there.
    You can see the file size for each iBook by clicking List from the menu bar top of the iBooks window.

  • How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

    How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

    You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
    You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
    Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.

    Apps designed to run on an iPhone can't run on a Mac (and vice versa) - the programming required is totally different.

  • How do you structure a .book with an EDD?

    Hi all,
    I am learning how to convert legacy, unstructured FM documents into structured FM documents and need some help. So, I created a conversion table from my unstructured documents, created the EDD, applied the EDD to the unstructured document to create a structured document and now need to tweak the EDD.
    My question is, what is the correct way to layout the EDD rules for a book using multiple document styles? For example: My book contains a title page, TOC, one or more chapters, a glossary of terms, and one or more appendixes (or is that a appendicies?.)
    I am thinking the element rule would look something like this:
    Element (Container): BOOK
    Valid as the highest-level element.
    General rule: TitlePage, TOC, Chapter+, Index, Appendix+
    Followed of course by other elements required for the structure. However, I did see an EDD that I am sure was outlined like this (though I can't recall where:)
    Element: TitlePage
    Valid as the highest-level element.
    General rule: Blah blah blah
    Element: TOC
    Valid as the highest-level element.
    General rule: Blah blah blah
    Element: Chapter
    Valid as the highest-level element.
    General rule: Blah blah blah
    Element: Index
    Valid as the highest-level element.
    General rule: Blah blah blah
    Element: Appendix
    Valid as the highest-level element.
    General rule: Blah blah blah
    If the second structure is correct, how do you define the Book element? On the Adobe forum, I was told one EDD should be created for all book elements, which makes sense to me.
    Okay people, fire away. Remember I am a neophyte in structured FM.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Thanks Van, that does clear it up for me... a little. My confusion now is, if I set all the book sections as valid at the highest level, then how does the book get structured as the starting point for the sections contained within it? I have tried to find a sample EDD detailing exactly this, but to no avail - my search brought up courses where this is covered, but not the actual EDD structure.
    When I try to structure the book with the EDD, the book comes up red with its children elements looking just fine. Ahh! You have to love that learning curve.

    Subject: How do you structure a .book with an EDD?
    Adam,
    Following up on some of Russ's sage advice, you asked:
    If the second structure is correct, how
    do you define the Book element? On the Adobe forum, I was told one EDD
    should be created for all book elements, which makes sense to me.
    As Russ said, your BOOK element looks fine. Not sure how far you have gotten, but when you open a document file that is in the book, its root element will be Chapter, TitlePage, Appendix, etc. That is why you have to declare each of these as being valid at the highest level. When you click in the book file window and look at the structure view, you will see that the BOOK element is the root element, and its content will be TitlePage, TOC, Chapter, Chapter,...etc. The book and all of its component files have the same EDD. The definitions for the BOOK element, as well as the TitlePage, TOC, Chapter, etc elements are all contained in the same EDD. I hope this helps to answer your question.

    hi penguin247,
    Regarding your questions:
    1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
    Link to picture
    2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

    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
