I am trying to add an updated version of a PDF eBook to iBooks but I'm told it already exists.

Hi There,
I'm using iBooks on Mavericks, primarily prior to syncing books to my iPad.
I often upload both the ePub and PDF versions, as a lot are technical books, with diagrams in them.
Anyway, I received the final versions of a recently released book on SharePoint, after earlier only having the pre-release version, which only came in PDF.
So I deleted the old PDF version, from the eBooks Library, added the ePub Version, but when I try to add the PDF version, it continually tells me that the PDF version still exists, and refuses to add it. They are named the same. It doesn't appear to still exist in the iBooks library or any collection, and what's more the message appears in a loop - it continues to appear repeatedly even though I've just tried to add the book once.
This is very frustrating. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Trevor

Hi All,
I think I've solved my problem, but it wasn't obvious. I deleted the old PDF version of the book, and I'm not sure where it went. Only when I was in the "All Books" view and I filtered by part of the book name did it appear, and it becamse obvious that the old version was still in iBooks, and I realized that deleting the old version of the PDF is a two step process, unless you delete it directly from the All Books View, when the Delete option becomes Delete from Library.
Solved now, but I think the UI needs some work, as it's far from clear enough at this stage. I don't think it's at all obvious how I ended up in the pickle I was in, and just repeating an error message in the way it did is not satisfactory.
Cheers,
Trevor

I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."

I tried to install the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC, but the installation failed and I have the error message "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly." When I then tried to run iTunes (assuming that, since the new install failed, my older version was still OK) I got the message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114". I tried then uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it fresh, but encountered the same problems. Help!

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

trying to add exact spot in places, using Google Maps L/L, but places wont find it, just get the spinning circle all the time.
Ive found it exactly in Google maps, and it gives me a long number but I type into my add new place, and it just hangs there till I cancel it.
Anyone help me please?
cheers

Thanks I just thought that if Im tagging Geo manually, it would be easier to find in google maps in Safari, then copy and paste it in my places.
So you can only sort f manually do it be finding places, dragging the pin to where you want?
Suppose it ok this way, was just hoping I could be super accurate.
cheers

Trying to add podcasts to shuffle I tunes says they are there but when I play them only a few are available?

trying to add podcasts to shuffle I tunes says they are there but when I play them only a few are available?

Hello rhdarby2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Hi emeldafromaz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend trying a thorough reinstall of iTunes as described here:

I tried to download the updated version and got vast loads of AAM files appearing on the top of my Firefox browser. Why?

I recently changed from Chrome to Firefox as I no longer trust anything to do with Google. Anyway, I hoped the change would allow me to download the version of Muse with the In-Browser Edit facility. I entered Adobe Muse 2014 into the browser search and signed in to Adobe CC. I was a little surprised not to see the Muse icon up front and centre; eventually I located it and watched the intro video before hitting download. Immediately a continous stream of aam files began to stream along the stop of the browser. For a start I am not familiar with aam files and I don't know why Firefox would run the files along the top of the browser. Is the updated version of Muse actually downloading? After half an hour I got suspicious and clicked stop. Any ideas what's going on?

I can't speak to the behavior of Firefox. I only use it infrequently and the behavior you're seeing may be dependent on your configuration (i.e. the plug-ins you have installed in Firefox). However, I can explain the Muse installation process.
Starting with the Adobe Muse CC 2014 release Muse now uses the same installer technology and installation process as all other Adobe applications available as part of Creative Cloud. When any Creative Cloud application is installed, step one is the installation of the Creative Cloud desktop application (if it's not already installed and up-to-date). CC desktop manages the installation of Adobe application along with many other cloud features (i.e. access to cloud storage, folder sync, access to fonts, access to community and marketplace, etc.). Adobe Application Manager (AAM) is a subcomponent of the CC desktop application and thus part of the installation of CC desktop.
This process is the same whether you're using the free level of Creative Cloud, are using a trial of a Creative Cloud app, have a Creative Cloud Single App subscription for just Muse or are a full Creative Cloud subscriber.

Generic javascript error when trying to add PHP Update behavior

When I try to add an Update behavior (PHP) from DW CS5, I get this popup error and I have no idea what it means!
While executing applyServerBehavior in UpdateRecord.htm, a JavaScript error occurred.
help??

At this point there are only 2 other solutions to try because that is the only KB article related to JS errors and cleaning out those user configs usually does the trick.
1. Your OS profile has become corrupt somewhere. Create a new profile on your computer and try running the same operation on DW. If this works you will need to move over your other user settings from applications, but do not move over all user data as you may bring the corrupted file(s) with you.
2. Run the Cleaner: Click on Help->De-Activate in any Adobe program to deactivate the software. Run the Clean Script: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and then re-install.

I have downloaded the garage band update version 1 to my macbook with osx but the old version of garage band is what boots up, New features are not present.

I have downloaded the new version of Garageband in an update to my new 2014 macbook with osx but it does not open with new features. It si still the original window for the app. Help. I reviewed the updates menu and it says it was installed.

I have the older 6.0.5. Looks like I'm way behind the newer version, and will need to download the 10.0.2. Will I still be able to access all of my own recordings after downloading the new version?
Yes, the newest GarageBand can open the projects from GarageBand 6.0.5.
GarageBand 10.0.2 is very different from GarageBand 6.0.5, it is more like a light version of Logic. It brings new features like drummers and arpeggiators, but dropped other importaant features like podcasts or the sound effect instrument. So you will want to keep both versions installed.
When you upgrade to 10.0.2, the installer will move your current 6.0.5 to a subfolder of Applications. On no account delete it, until you are perfectly happy with the new version. I am still starting my projects in GarageBand 6.0.5, set everything up with the easy to use GB '11 interface, and then add the finishing touches, drummers etc., in GarageBand 10.0.
Note: GarageBand 10.0 is free, but it is not a full version; you will have to make an in-app purchase to get lessons, instruments, loops. With GB '11 still installed, this should be free. See this document: Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase

I'm trying to download the newest version of CC programs on my computer but somehow get older versions

I'm trying to download the newest version of for instance Illustrator (october 2014, including Creative Cloud Libraries, Lady with Sunglasses version) on my computer, but somehow I still get the older version (no libraries, Lion version). What do I do wrong? I tried a new download of Creative Cloud, removed all the Apps and tried a new Illustrator... still the 'old' version.

I'm using an iMac with the newest OS X Yosemite. I tried to reinstall Creative Cloud, removed all the programs. But I still get the 'old' 2014 version with the Lionhead, not the Sunglasses (october 2014) with interactive libraries. I use Adobe iPad apps, for instance Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape and Adobe Color and it's so great to have all the things you make with these apps in your Illustrator & Photoshop libraries. Somehow it worked om my laptop, but not om my home computer.

HT1766 i have recieved a new apple 4s phone and have a nana when i have tried to add other songs on my nana i have lost all of my songs that were already been downloaded little nervous about sync my phone is their a easier way?

I have just bought a iphone 4s and i own a Nano, my concerns are i have tried to sync my nano before and have lost all my music that i previously put on when i tried to add new songs to it is their a easier way to do this to my new phone without losing all the music off of my Nano again ...

You can only sync with one iTuns library/computer. It sounds like the Nano was previously synced to another computer/library.
Just make sure that you also ways sync to the same computer/iTunes library.
If you want to switch your syncing computer/library see:
