HT4059 Started writing a review of book after reading.  Cannot close out window to get back to library.

Started writing a review of book after reading.  Cannot close out window to go back to Library.

A few days ago I ran Onyx and it told me to repair disks from my boot up disk..
Did you do that? If not, you should follow these directions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
If you did, was the repair successful?
Basically, the 'licence' window that comes up when you open certain applications e.g. Aperture, doesn't disappear like it is supposed to and just stays put..
Sounds like those applications are crashing at startup... unless they are opening other windows behind that "splash screen" window, in which case there's something very weird going on. If they just get to the splash screen and then stop, they've crashed.
Sounds like whatever hard drive problems you had have caused some corruption to important parts of your system or those applications. I would imagine you're going to have to reinstall those applications at a minimum. Since it seems like it's happening with new apps that you have downloaded recently, though, it's more likely you're going to need to reinstall the system.
Whatever the case, if you don't have good backups, the absolute first thing you need to do before you do anything else is to make a backup. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for help with that. Depending on the level of damage your hard drive experienced, though, it may be too late... there may be documents somewhere that are damaged and can't be opened that you haven't discovered yet.
If you reinstall the system, I'd advise moving your data back over from a backup manually and reinstalling applications from scratch, using Migration Assistant sparingly, if at all. You don't want to move damaged settings files or applications back onto a squeaky-clean system.

  • I purchased a book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my ipod nano 7.  I cannot find an answer that works.

    I purchased an audio book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my nano 7.  I have tried everything. 

    Have you double checked to make sure these Audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes?  This is assuming that the audiobooks are already stored in your iTunes library and appear under the Books category.
    To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab across the top in the main iTunes window and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
    If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner. This will sync the updated changes to your device.

  • Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

    Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
    All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
    Please help.

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • After updating to iOs 8 I cannot close out programs which is eating data

    After my son updated his 5s iphone to i0S 8, he cannot close out any programs open, which is eating up data when not connected to wifi. He rebooted and it still will not close them out. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Well he is doing the same he has done in the past. Double tap home and swipe them up. When he double taps home now, it does nothing.

  • HT4059 How can I mark a book as read or completed in Apple ibook?

    How can I mark a book as read or completed in Apple ibook?

    After researching this further, I have concluded that the update feature is working correctly. What I was expecting was that once the iPod would sync with my Mac, that the updating, including marking the podcast as read would take place at that point. In reality, this function does not take place until I click on "Update" in iTunes. During that process the various blue dots of those Podcasts listened to go away, and Podcasts that are outside the parameters of those I want to retain are deleted.
    So, if indeed, as long as I have completed the entire Podcast, the update functions are working properly.

  • Yesterday got wifi in my home and after nearly 4 months starting learning how my IPad Mini functions.  Later today I tried to get back on but was stopped, with a requirement of a passcode (not a password).  I used the one I knew and was kicked off.

    After having trouble getting back onto my IPAD Mini this afternoon, because I apparently did not have what was required a passcode ??
    I was putting in my previously decided on password.  I had to use my CHROME machine to communicate with Apple, and because there seemed to be some confusion about my identity when I had gone on the Apps sections of my IPAD, and when communicating with Apple on my CHROME machine, I went ahead and changed my password.  Going back to my IPAD to log on, using the new information it again kicked me out - this time saying I couldn't get back on for one hour.
    The only other passcode info I have is because we now have WiFi in our home -- for the first time since I purchased my IPAD at Christmas.  Today was the first time I had been able to get into the system and see some of the functions work - email, maps and then APPS and that's when it went all hinky.
    When will this all get cleared up? 
    What steps do I take now?
    Jazzhappy

    The iPad is looking for a 4 digit passcode that you used to lock the device. Did you set a 4 digit code when you set up your iPad? You need to enter that code in order to unlock it. If you don't know the code, you will have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it.

  • I have safari in my iPad but bookmark is not working. I can not book mark any things.  How do I get back my bookmark working so that I can open the web page I have already booked marked.  Thank you for your answer

    I have iPad 2.
    The safari bookmark was working yesterday.  Today book mark is not working.  I can not book mark anything. 
    Did I do anything to prevent stopping bookmark to store?  Please help me how to get back working my bookmark.  Thank you.

    See if this works.
    Quit the Safari app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Lost address book for iPod Touch. How can I get back data or app or both?

    I forget what is was called but the built-in Contacts/Address Book app jumped off my 2nd generation (bought 31 Dec 2009) iPod Touch one day.
    I connected to iTunes hoping to get it back with all my data from the back-up, but because iTunes was set to automatic sync it synced when I connected and over-rode the last back-up with a new one, so without any contact app or data.
    When I investigated back-up on iTunes I was only offered the back-up which had just been made, ie no contact app or data.
    Is there any way that I can reload at least the empty app without doing a re-set?
    I don't want to do a re-set because although I will get back the empty app I will lose all my 20+ other 3rd party apps and all the data that some of them contain,
    As well as that - since I cannot update the OS - the version of each that I can run (for OS 4) will almost certainly have vanished from iTunes because most apps have been developed now for OS 5 and finding the old version in iTunes is very cumbersome. As far as I can see I have to browse them all in the date order they were released, with no search facility.
    I have to have an address book. I have been unable to find a 3rd party one that will run under OS 4, so it looks as if I will have to use NoteMaster, with contacts in A/Z order by surname, with one or more lines for each depending on whether I have phone number, mobile number, email address, postal address etc.  It's possible, but a poor substitute for a proper address book.
    I would be very grateful for any help with this, and hope that the Apple address book app or a 3rd party address book app for 4.2.1 is available.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • For no reason when I try to sync my iPad I get a message after about 10 minetes sayingitunes has stopped working windows will get back to you if a solution is found.I used to be able to sync no problem this just started all of a sudden

    I get a message every time I truro sync it says iTunes has stopped working windows will contact you if a solution is found.

    I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

  • I was downloading a book and the screen has frozen cant get back to Library Can any help?

    I only got my Ipad yesterday.  Was downloading a couple of books this went well until the fourth book - the scrren has now frozen and no matter what I do will not return to the Library.

    Try closing the iBooks app completely and then see if it works after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
