Amazon in general has equal or better prices than Apple for the equivalent merchandise. It really does not matter why. Just shop where you get the best value, selection, and convenience.
As Jim Z hints, Kindle books can run on a wide range of platforms, including iPads and Macs, by the use of the appropriate apps, which by the way are free.

Why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?
Some programs such as Photoshop give the option to print to CMYK or sRGB color spaces. Even though the printer uses CMYK inks the driver is expecting sRGB data. If CMYK is selected the prints will be much too dark.
Another thing to check is the media type. If you are printing on plain paper and have seelcted Photo paper the prints have too much ink.

Why are the books from Lauren Dohner gone?

Recently, I tried to look and see if there were any new Laurann Dohner books in iTunes, and I see that all the books are no longer there even those I had bought previously. Can someone explain to me why they're gone?

We are fellow users, but if the books are no longer your country's store then it's probably because the publisher/rights-holder has decided to remove them - only they will know if/when they might allow Apple to sell them in your country again.

TS3697 why are the photos I want on my ipod underlit

Brand new iPad. Big after-race celebration party; can't transfer the finish line photos and video from my MACBOOK to the ipod for party viewing. I can see them, but they are underlit. Once again, the apple products don't come through.

Here are the things you can do
Disable Auto-Brightness
Choose your location
Set a specific brightness
Disable Auto-Brightness
The iPad has a great feature that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the ambient brightness at your location. It is on by default. When you are sat by the window or some other bright location the screen brightness increases to compensate, and vice-versa. This works really well but is not good for image editing when need some consistency so turn the feature off. Go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and flick the slider.
Choose your location
The brightness of the ambient light where you are using your iPad makes a huge difference to the way the screen looks. If you are in a bright location the screen will look dim and the colours washed out no matter how high you turn the brightness up. Similarly if you are in a very dark place the screen is going to look very bright indeed, and even hurt your eyes – if you have every used your iPad in the dark with the lights out you will know what I mean! – it is not possible to turn the brightness down very far. So it comes as no surprise to be somewhere not too bright and not too dark and don’t have sunlight falling across the screen.
Set a specific brightness
The next thing is to set a suitable brightness manually so while you are in the Brightness & Wallpaper setting you can adjust the slider to set the brightness you need.. but how bright or dim should it be? You need to use a familiar image as a reference.

Why does the first Firefox browser takes more than ten seconds to open?

Once my laptop is logged into, Firefox's initial browser takes more than 10 seconds to open. The subsequent windows take less than two seconds. Much more complex programmes like photoshop open in next to no time. Is Firefox a 'heavy' programme to start?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I shifted to Firefox Windows IE two weeks ago. Eversince.

See http://autonome.wordpress.com/2010/ for progress of work being done to improve that.40

Services Menu for a Newbie...why are the things i want to do, gray?

I transitioned from windows to Mac not too long ago and never figured out how to use the Services Menu in OS X application menus. Whenever I tried to say, mail the current page I'm looking at in Safari; I do what feels natural and choose Safari, Services, Mail and then wanting to chose Send To, but it's grayed out. I have searched Help and the Forums but I'm striking out. Can someone point me to a tutorial or something to help me get the most out of OS X in using the tools in the Services Menu? thanks for your patience.

The Services Menu changes depending on the features of the app you're using. If you choose Mail from Safari (as in your example) Send To and Send Selection will be grayed out. However, if you choose some text and then repeat the process, your selection will open and be pasted in Mail.
David Pogue, The Missing Manual is an excellent comprehensive manual on Leopard.
I would also suggest you take a look at Mac 101 and Switch 101. There's a wealth of info there. There are a couple of additional references to Services Menu, here and here.

Why are the PDF files in v27 bigger than in v25?

I have just created a v27 version of my single iOS app, which has been v25 before. Now the app has a size of about 550 MB instead of about 430 MB. I found out that the PDF files of the slideshows are bigger than before. What is the reason for this change and is there a way to get smaller file sizes again?
Kind regards
Michael
No idea? At least someone of the staff should know why the DPS creates larger files now.
There is another issue which indicates that Adobe doesn't care about file sizes. In slideshows the DPS always uses PNG files (if you don't choose PDF files, which are larger now, as I have told you). Of course it is because of transparency, but it would be easy to let the user choose between PNG and JPG like Twixl does.

You should report this via Gold Support who will investigate this. Minor file size changes will always occure on releases, however since you report the size change is significant, there may be some issue and needs further testing.

Why are the backups to iCloud much smaller than those to my PC? I subscribed to extra iCloud space expecting for the backups to be the same size. Now I have more unused iCloud space I don't need, can I get a refund?

Backups to my PC were almost 30 G bytes each time, backup to the Icloud is only 1.4 G bytes. Expecting the backups to be about the same size I subscribed to extra Icloud space. Can I stop my Icloud pace subscription amd get a refund? I have all this extra space and have no use for it. It does not appear there is a way to use this space for other storage purposes.

You can't merge iCloud backups. You could create a current backup of your phone, then restore the backup of your old phone to it and save any data you want to keep, the restore it again to the current backup. Some of your old recovered data could then be synced back to your new phone (such as photos), but other data cannot (such as text message conversations). You may not want to save any of your old data but restoring the backup would be the only way to see what's there.

What are the performance tradeoffs when using more than one EntityStore?

Hi,
I have different accounts where each account has the same set of Entity classes. I don't know yet wheter to have one EntityStore for each account or have one EntityStore for all accounts together and do a lot of 'joining' when retrieving Entities.
This is a very similar use case as with the FAQ http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#37 . The only difference is that I want to use DTP.
It would be great if you could answer me the following questions:
1.) Do basicly the same answers as in the FAQ apply to EntityStores?
2.) How expensive is an EntityStore (memory, speed - creating and releasing)?
3.) What would you recommend? I have to do a lot of secondary-index lookups which are restricted to one account. There are about 10 Entity classes and about 1000 accounts.
Thanks,
Christian

Hello,
It would be great if you could answer me the
following questions:
1.) Do basicly the same answers as in the FAQ apply
to EntityStores?Yes, they apply.
2.) How expensive is an EntityStore (memory, speed -
creating and releasing)?For each store, there is an underlying Database per entity class and per secondary key. And for each store there is a catalog database which is also kept in memory.
3.) What would you recommend? I have to do a lot of
secondary-index lookups which are restricted to one
account. There are about 10 Entity classes and about
1000 accounts. I recommend using a single store for best performance and resource utilization.

Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out. I am unable to move and organize them. I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either. What step am I missing?

So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
I haven't created albums yet.
I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
What should work:
Select the photos you want to share
File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Why are my books not deleting?

Why are my books not deleting?

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)
