yea , after reading lots of discussions about this issue , it looks like its happening with lots of people. they try to read books on their macbook pro and they cant. it looks Apple wants u to buy other devices like ipad in order to be able to read books. and they do that in purpose.  cuz mainly they make money from selling hardware not from selling other products through their website.
cuz it doesnt make any sence to me that u can read books on your iphone and u cannot on your macbook pro!!! this is rediculous!
however, Im buying an Ipad anyway for my daughter and im wondering how i can download and read the book i already purchased  throu my macbook, im i still able to use the same Apple account and download whatever i purchased on other devices?
Actually, Apple makes a nice profit from  songs, video, book, and apps. They also have apps in the AppStore for all of their major competitors in the eBook market some of which do have apps for reading on Mac OSX machines. So, no, it's not about trying to con you into buying hardware.
Yes, if you and your daughter are using the same AppleID, you can share the iBooks on different devices.

    That cryptic error message might mean that the payment information in your account is invalid. Check with your credit-card issuer to see whether a charge was denied. If not, see below.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Cant download the imovie/iphoto for free

    I just bought my iPad Air, but i cant download the imovie/iphoto for free.. appstore charges $4.99, i thought we can get the app free?
    Please advise me how i can get the apps for free as i understand devices after September 2013 gets to download them for free.
    Many Thanks

    If you bought iPad after 1st September 2013.
    After activating your iPad, go to the App Store and search for your free apps:
    1. Pages
    2. Numbers
    3. Keynote
    4. iPhoto
    5. iMovie
    6. GarageBand
    If apps are still showing the price: sign out>reboot>and sign in again
    Settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID

  • Do I need trend smart surfing for mac for the macbook pro

    do I need trent smart surfing for mac for my macbook pro?

    That's totally up to you. If you have the need to restrict the web sites that can be visited, then a product such as Trend may be worth the cost. If you are only worried about malware from your own surfing, then I consider the price for Trend excessive and unnecessary. The freeware ClamXav and a bit of common sense - about what you download and from where, not falling for scams and fakes that ask you to provide personal information, and in keeping your operating system up to date -  should be sufficient.
    Regards.

  • I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??  Thanks

    I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? 
    Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
    Thanks

    If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook.  Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

  • Why i cant download ibooks in my ios 6.1.6?

    why i cant download ibooks in my ios 6.1.6?

    What happens when you try to download it ?
    You can't download or sync the current version of the app, it's not compatible with iOS 6.1.6.
    If you are trying to download it directly on your device then have you previously downloaded the app i.e. is it in your purchase history ? If not then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your device go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and you should be able to download an older compatible version of it

  • Is it worth paying for Microsoft office for Mac for college, or is buying iwork a better deal?

    I'll be going off to college in a year or so, and im wondering if it is worth the 120 dollars for microsoft office, or is it better just to get iwork for mac right away?

    Wait until you are enrolled after which you may get it free or at low cost from your school.
    Don't bother with iWork. Schools are pretty standardized on Office. You could also download one the Office-like suites:
    LibreOffice
    Open Office
    Neo Office
    Look for them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads

  • Help for using camera raw in PSE 8/Bridge for Mac for the Canon 7D

    Recently purchasing the Canon 7D, taking a few test photos in Raw, then trying to use Camera Raw in PSE8/Bridge for Mac is a problem.  I cannot figure it out.  Can anyone help this frustrated, novice computer user?

    You need to update the camera raw plug-in for bridge and PSE 8 separately (they use two different copies). In Bridge, just go to Help>Updates which will install, I think, ACR 5.7, which  works with your camera. (You can't update bridge beyond that version).
    For PSE 8, go here, download the latest version and follow the instructions in the readme file.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    Note that the directions may tell you that you can overwrite the old plug-in. That isn't true--you must remove it before putting the new one in there.

  • I cant download ibooks in my ipod 4thgeneration because it requires iOs 7 or later. is there any way to transfer pdf files to my ipod ?I CANT TRANSFER PDF PLEASE REPLY.thanks

    is there any way to download ibooks for my ipod touch 4th generation?my iOs version is 5.1.1

    Likely:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    Are you sure you have a 4G iPod (has cameras)? You say you have iOS 5.1.1 and a 4G can go to iOS 6.1.5. A 3G (no cameras) can only go to 5.1.1.
