HT4059 can you use ibook on macbook pro

can you use ibook on macbook pro? If so, how do i read the free books from itune?

"if you can use the Kindle app from iPad to Macbook, shouldn't you be able to do the same with an apple product?"
No.
The kndle app provides this feature.
Ibooks does not.
" I would rather buy books from iBooks"
You can buy form whomever you like.
" but not being able to go from device to device like in Kindle is a problem."
You can read iboks on ipod touch/ipad/iphone, just not your computer.

    Can you download books to a macbook pro and read them

    iBooks comes with Mavericks. If you download and install Mavericks, it will install iBooks and you can read your iBooks on your Mac.

  • Can I use my old Macbook Pro as an external disc drive while installing Windows 7 through boot camp?

    I want to install the Windows 7 CD on the newest version of the 2013 Macbook pro 10.9.2 running OSX Mavericks, through Boot Camp.  It does not have a disc port, nor do I have an external disc drive....but I do have an older macbook that does have a disc drive and I know you can supplement it for an external disc drive.
    My question is can I use my old Macbook pro's as an external disc drive for the installation of Windows 7 in Boot camp? Will this be a problem? Or do I have to buy an external disc drive separately.

  • Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

    Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
    It needs to be wireless.
    I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
    Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

    My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
    Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
    PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
    Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
    Hope this helps.

    You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • Can you transfer files from Macbook Pro to iPad Air via USB ?

    Hi ,
    Can you use that USB adapter to transfer photos / .pdf`s / .mp3`s and so forth ?
    I have a MBP-R + MM , and would like to be able to use the newer iPad Air for veiwing photos as well as .pdf`s , I got the music part , just sync with iTunes.
    Many thanks !

    iTunes, when your iPad Air is plugged in via USB to your computer and selected in iTunes, has a tab for Books which can transfer your PDFs to iBooks.  It also has a tabs for Photos.
    If you select the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the apps list, you will see a section for Apps that can sync files between your computer and the App on your iPad Air.  So if you have an app that handles a specific file format you can use iTunes to sync that file between your computer and your iPad Air.
    As has been mentioned above, besides iBooks, GoodReader is another well respected app that handles PDFs and you can transfer PDF files between your computer and GoodReader on the iPad Air via the Apps tab.

  • What RAID Setup do you use for your Macbook Pro Scratch Drive?

    Is there any benefit to using an Express-ESata Raid Enclosure vs a single esata drive as the scratch drive?
    If so, is there any benefit to using a 4 drive Raid 0 vs a 2 drive raid 0?
    What Raid setups are any of you all using with your MacBook Pro's? Is there a significant performance difference between using a E-Sata drive and a FW800 drive. Is RAID the right way to go?
    Sorry I'm not making a lot of sense right now, but I've searched through 20 or so pages of the forum and didn't see that anyone had addressed this question yet.

    OK, just to give you a frame of reference, I just performed the following tests -
    I hooked up my Sony AVCHD camera to my Mac Book Pro 2.4 ghz with 4 GB ram - (pretty close configuration to yours) - and imported a 26 second clip into FCP 7 with the following drive configurations:
    Capture to internal Mac Drive, no externals: 26 Second clip takes 44 seconds
    Capture to external WD USB2 drive: 26 Second clip takes 44 Seconds
    Capture to external CalDigit 2 Sata Drive Array, Raid 0, via Firewire 800: 26 Second clip takes 42 seconds
    OK, so now I move the camera over to my Mac Pro 8-Core, 2 x 3.2 Ghz Quad Core Xeon with 14 gigs of ram, and capture *to the same external CalDigit 2 Sata Drive Array,* Raid 0, via Firewire 800: 26 Second clip takes 11 seconds
    My conclusion would be the drives and drive throughput is not as consequential as the CPU horsepower in doing the conversion from AVCHD to Pro Res. However, there are many very knowledgeable people who look at these threads, and I would be interested to hear what they have to say.
    Hope this helps.

  • What type of internal hard drive can I use for my Macbook pro?

    HI,
    My macbook pro stopped working and I took it to Apple store to find out what was wrong with it. I have been told that the hard disk i snot working anymore.
    Since I cannot afford to pay Apple's fees, I was told that I can order it online and pput the disk myself.
    Can anyone please tell me what do I need to focus on when buying a hard disk and what would be the best hard disk for my macbook pro.
    Thank you

    A MacBook Pro uses a 2'5" SATA hard drive, so any hard drive with these specs should work. We recommend HGST and Seagate drives, but Western Digital drives also work correctly. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    7200 rpm HDDs will give you extra performance. They are not very expensive

  • Can I use a new macbook pro as an exclusively windows machine?

    I use a Dell XPS M1710 right now for hard core numerical analysis.  Finite-element solving and the like.  I have had this machine for 4 years and it is showing its age finally.  So I am in the market for a new power laptop.  I think the 17 inch Macbook Pro with i7 and 8 GB  could be what I need.  It has an advantage over the newer Dell XPS in that the screen on the new Dell is only 1080 for some reason.
    Now, on to my question.  I have not used apple in 12 years so my memory is a little fuzzy.  I know that there is a command key instead of a ctrl key, but does the command key work like a ctrl key when running windows on a mac?  Also, can I completely take off the apple OS and run only windows on the Macbook pro,  or will it not work without the apple OS?  Is there still no right click on the apple machine's mouse/pad?
    Forgive my ignorance, but I want to know these things before I jump in. 
    Thanks for answering any or all of my questions.

    Short answer is yes.
    You can easily erase the drive and install windows on the mac, using a windows install disc.
    Still has control key, has option instead of alt, and command instead of windows (they are control alt and windows in windows).
    And yes, the mbp has right click on the trackpad (clicking on the bottom right hand corner)

  • Can I use a 2011 Macbook Pro charger for my 2007 Macbook?

    My charger for my 2007 Macbook works as an AC adapter, but will not charge my battery. My girlfriend has a new Macbook pro and I want to know if I can use her charger to charge my battery. I know they output different wattages, but I'm not sure how that will affect it. I have heard rumors that new Pro chargers will fry the batteries of the older Macbooks but I don't know if there is any truth to that. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    You can use a higher wattage charger to charge a mac that normally uses a lower wattage charge and that is fine.  You do not want to do the opposite.

  • What kind of external microphone can I use with the MacBook Pro?

    It depends which MBP you have. Some of the newer ones don't have an audio in port, so you need a USB adapter with an audio in jack.
