HT5544 Can you read ibooks on mac pro laptop?

If I download the ibooks app to my mac pro laptop, and then purchase an ibook through itunes, can I read it from my mac pro laptop or do I need an iPad, iPod or iPhone?

Hi rosemaryfromdelta,
No, you cannot read iBooks on a Mac. However, you can read Kindle books on a Mac. Download the free Kindle application, set up a Kindle account on Amazon, and purchase your e-books through the Kindle store on Amazon.
P.S. - if you do ever get an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can also download the Kindle app to them, and you will be able to read any books you have purchased on those devices as well....
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
GB

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 read books on Mac laptop that were purchased on iPod touch?

I bought a few books through ibooks on my Ipod touch, but there are some forms that I want to print and recipes that I would like to see in the bigger screen of my laptop, but although they show as purchased on my laptop I cannot open them to read them.

If you wish to read books on your Mac, get the Kindle App for Mac, and purchase books from the Amazon Kindle Store.
In contrast to the restrictive iBook format, Kindle books can be read on Mac, iOS devices, and many other platforms.

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

How can you tell where your Mac Pro was assembled?

I heard mention in another thread that some MP's were made in China while some were assembled in CA. Where do you find this information?

I think this might be what you're looking for:

I ran it on my Mac Pro and it told me unknown, though it told me my MacBook Pro was made in China.

Can you read/write to Mac partition from Windows 7 partition with bootcamp?

Hi there. I am about to take delivery of a new Air and want to install Windows on it. As accessing both simultaneously isn't important to me, I don't mind using boot camp and would like the performance gains (if there are any?) of booting straight into either.
The question is: would I be able to, from Windows, access and edit (have full access to) files stored on the Mac partition?
Furthermore, does anyone know whether I could run itunes on both using the same set of files (i.e. exactly the same itunes whether in OS X or Windows?).
Thanks very much for your help. I have heard contradictory things so wanted to see what the real answer was!
Thanks,
Tom.

iTunes has to be somewhere you can write. There are some tips on iTunes probably in the devoted forums.
But writing to Mac partition (HFS+) requires 3rd party driver. Same for writing to NTFS from Mac OS.
I would not recommend MacDrive8 for allowing Windows to write to Mac HFS, but that is and was the first to do so. Paragon-Software has been creating some file system drivers for Windows, Linux and now Mac to go both ways. Most of their products are in the backup & recovery and partitioning area.
Apple has added read-only feature to allow accessing HFS but the feature (and it is not really a service or driver that you can turn on/off or choose to not install, it is part of the Boot Camp package) has been known to need to be renamed/deleted. Not always but will sometimes trigger BSOD. Maybe reading a file with a file name? doubt it but I rename "AppleHFS" and "AppleMNT" so they don't load or function in Windows 7.

Hi..
iBooks is written for iOS based devices therefore cannot be used on the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.

Can I read ibook books on a mac book pro??

I would like to read the books I purchase for ibooks on my mac also. Is there an app for Mac that allows this?? there is no ibooks on the mac app store.

No, there is currently no Mac app to read iBooks on a Mac.
Give Apple feedback about developing an app to read iBooks in Mac OS X;

How can i read ibooks on my mac?

how can I read Ibooks books on my mac?

I work in a high tech company (not in IT) and as a sideline I fix close friends and family's PCs and Macs, usually remotely over Logmein. The reason I switched to Macs over the past four years is that most of my friends and family that have switched from PCs to Macs require little or no support. So I am an Apple fan boy by my experiences and not just for the sake of being a fan. It just makes practical sense.
Which leads me to the point. I am also an Apple stock holder. So I prefer to buy a book on the Apple Store rather than the Amazon store even though I realize my recent purchase of an iBook at $13.99 is of no consequence to Apple's bottom line.
In that light, I would of course like to be able to read my iBooks on my MacBook Air or the PCs and Macs I use at work.
It just makes practical sense.

HT4889 How I make copy from iBooks on my iPad to iBooks on Mac Pro , without deleting my iPad books most of them not purchased books , thanks

I want to make another copy of my iBooks on iPad to iBooks in Mac Pro device without deleting my any book from my iPad . All the books are not purchased from apple store . Thanks

Hey Aggiesmommy 91,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues downloading purchased iBooks. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this so you can enjoy those purchases.
First, try forcing the iBooks application to close:

If the issue persists, try restarting your iPad:

Do you have a backup. If so you should be able to restore it from that. Otherwise you can reinstall OS X. See Carolyn's post in I accidentally deleted iBooks on my Macbook Pro (late 2011) running on OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite. Will iBooks be reinstalled if I install the next OS X major update once it is out?

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.
Thanks,

If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

I'm having multiple crashes on my new 5s. I can't connect to my Mac Pro!! Power cord broken. How can I fix this without connecting to my MacBook? Very frustrating and disappointing. Please help!!!

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
