HT5557 Is there any way to view a book I have purchased through the bookstore on my phone on my MacBook Pro? I am getting very frustrated that I cannot read the book on my computer.

I am hearing that there is no way to read on an apple computer books purchased in the iBookstore. Is this true? I purchased a book on my iphone 4 in the iBookstore and I cannot read it on my macbook pro. Seems like a silly, but very annoying and aggravating fallacy. What can I do to read the book on my computer?

Hi liam,
What you are hearing is correct. There is currently no Mac app for iBooks, so no way to get them on the Mac.
You can use many of the other e-reader apps like Kindle on all of your devices and your Mac.
Sorry for the bad news....
Cheers,
GB

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

    Drag them to your iTunes library.  Download the free iBooks app.  Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane.  The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

  • Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

    Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

    None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.
    Send feedback to Apple.

  • Is there any way to view 2, 3, 4, etc. days beginning on any day?

    Is there any way to view 2, 3, 4, etc. days beginning on any day? In pre-Lion iCal, opt-cmd-2 displayed 2 days, opt-cmd-3 displayed 3 days, etc. The first day could be any day of your choice.
    With Lion iCal, if you begin in any view other than week view, those shortcuts work. (I did not see them in the list of shortcuts.) But it always begins on Sunday.
    Is there any way to regain the ability to see any number of days beginning on any day? (Even gCal allows this, and I can't believe Apple would take such a step backwards in functions.) The only way I can figure out to do this now is by opening the General tab in Preferences and setting a new day to "Start week on." It's an understatement to say that this is much less flexible than in pre-Lion iCal.

    Found a way to accomplish it:
    In iCal's Preferences > General
    Select the "Days" popup for "Scroll in Week View by"
    "Weeks" was the previously-selected choice, so I assume it's the default. I don't remember this option in the older version of iCal.
    The result is not the same as pre-Lion iCal, but it's just as good.

    Yes, you create in the .epub format with whatever Windows app you want to use for that and then use an Aggregator like SmashWords to upload the book to the iBookstore.  Direct upload is only possible from OS X.

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Are you referring to opening your Premiere Elements project on your computer in an iPad Premiere Elements app at a remote location? I have not seen any Premiere Elements apps for iPad or other. But there are video editing apps for iPad which can be found described online and rated...if you are working with Mac, I think that an iMovie app is available for iPad.
    Premiere Elements 12 does get involved with your mobile device and accessing your videos/photos that were uploaded to Adobe Revel in the export section of the project.
    Also, I was wondering if you could be referring in any way to using your iPad as an external monitor for Premiere Elements on your computer.
    This appears to be a can do operation for Mac and Windows from what I have read.

  • Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating

  • Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

    Hello,
    we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
    Thank you for your help
    Kind Regards

    Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
    Directly updating the DB could be an option ..
    Thanks

  • My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
    All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
    Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
    Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
    Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
    Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)

  • Is there any way to restore it to factory settings with out the disk?

    I got a macbook off of a friend with all the proper disks, did the installation and set up and did all the updates. Now after having restarted the computer with the new updates I'm trying to install iworks(it always asks for the admin. name and password), but it keeps saying that I have the incorrect administrator name or password yet I can log on and off just fine. Is there any way I can fix this or reset it to the factory settings with out having to use the disk?

    OK, then you can try this instead:
    I lost my admin user (OS X 10.5)
    If you are unfortunate enough to delete your only admin user, or remove his admin capability, then as long as you have another user with login capability, you can give that user admin rights as shown below.  Print this post out in a mono-spaced font, and type carefully, paying attention to spaces and punctuation, since you cannot copy/paste in Single User mode.  Caution: in single user mode you have root privileges. Be careful!
    Substitute the name of 'youruser' below. 
    Boot into single-user mode which will eventually get you to a shell prompt (ending in #). Then type the following (Press RETURN after each command): 
    /sbin/fsck -fy 
    Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then continue with 
    /sbin/mount -uw / 
    /usr/bin/dscl . -merge /groups/admin users youruser 
    If you get a message saying "invalid path", then type these two commands first:  
    /usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin gid 80
    /usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin passwd '*'
    and then repeat the "dscl ... -merge" command.
    Then:
    reboot 
    You will now be able to login as 'youruser' and have administrative privileges.  Membership of the 'admin' group is the only thing that distinguishes administrative users from ordinary users.
