I have one Mac, two users.  I wish to share a iBook with my wife, the other user.  I move a copy of the book folder to "public" folder, and in her account "added to library".  Does not show even though cue claims it is in her library.  No book.

I find sharing books within my one computer near impossible - not easy as music is.  It used to be easier, but now with iBooks and some other changes this has become difficult.  Also - I can use the search feature to find the "books" folder, and use "Get Info" to find the supposed address, and then not find that folder location at all using a manual method stepping through Finder.  So a second question is:  where is this file hiding?  It is not under User/Library/Containers.... as claimed by "Get Info".  It seems that if I buy a book, the family can use it to put on their iPad.

Part of me understands the need to have purchases protected.  I hope this does not get more and more complicated for "within family use".  It is nice to buy music and share it with my wife, as we used to do with books prior to the iBooks "upgrade" - which mostly consisted of making it impossible to share books.  Thanks though for your response;  I was hoping for some luck and that maybe I had missed some simple step.  To Apple:  lighten up.
Best regards and thanks again for taking the time -

    When I go to FireFox/Help the toolbar shows. How can I get the tool bar to show?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

    <Email Edited by Host>

    As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support,  I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • HT1349 I have registered with my local library and can download books.  But these are not being shown in ITunes, the Library does not show 'audiobooks'.  I have an ipod 6G.  can anyone help please?

    I have recently purchased (from the States) an ipod nano 6th generation.  I belong to a local library and can download books from the audiobooks online section.  Problem is, my iPod when synced to iTunes, does not show Library as a category and audiobooks.  For some reason, it is allowing me to download the books to my iPod, but I am unable to delete them from the iPod, and also, it is giving an echo (I think somehow it is downloading twice which is giving an echo effect).  Not sure what is going on, but if anyone can advise me on this I would be very grateful.

    Hello mrsbonniesue
    If you have an issue with the audiobook showing up in music, check to see if those tracks are labeled as audio books or music. The article below will explained as well as I have highlighted the main portion for changing that information.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook

  • ITunes does not authenticate, even though it gives message that it does

    The story so far – in detail.
    One day, over a year ago now, my iPod would not synch properly with my iTunes and I got a message telling me some of the songs were not authorized. The iPod locked up and had to be rebooted/reinstalled at the apple store and they told me it was dying.
    {As it turned out, it was my laptop that was dying – the motherboard would no longer see half my memory and the firewire 400 was intermittent, which must have caused the iPod to freak out, because I’m still able to use the iPod a year later, but I never plug it into the firewire 400 on this laptop.} This did not fix the inability to move the music, which coincidently (the store and on-line support did not indicate a link) happed around the same time.
    Some extra background details are needed here to help frame the issue.
    The original music on all my computers was purchased on three different iTunes accounts for various reasons, including multiple moves. (This is why I would really like an account column in the view options)
    This is not my original laptop, my wife is not using her original iMac. We have upgraded and transferred all our files, but the problem came long after that time (years).
    My wife’s iMac is home to the original, albeit transferred, files. All the music authorizes and works fine on her computer. It is a G5.
    The music will not work on my computer (Powerbook G4) or my sons’ computers (Intel Duo Macbooks).
    When I try to play the music, I get the not authorized pop-up and it tells me to enter the password to authorize. I enter the correct password and I get the new pop-up that tells me I have successfully authorized the music, but it doesn’t start playing as it normally should. I click on the now (supposedly) authorized song again, and I get the same not authorized message. Any second, or subsequent time through this loop yields the same results, but at least the number of authorized computers remains correct.
    Between the on-line help and the store I have been asked to do the following, and have complied:
    Deauthorize and reauthorize the music files.
    Deauthorize and reauthorize all my music accounts (on-line help performed the deauthorization on all the accounts I thought I had, turns out I have one more, but it never had a problem).
    Uninstall/remove iTunes from the offending computer and reinstall it.
    Throw away the offending music files and re-add them.
    Put all my music on my wife’s computer, put it on an iPod, remove the music from my computer, re-add all the music from the iPod.
    Re-install my OS, with a reinstallation of iTunes and re-add all the music.
    Find a backup copy of the music saved to my external hard drive and reload it.
    Load the music on other computers and see if they will authorize.
    None of the above (an probably some I am forgetting) worked, so I decided to take a break from the frustration and just wait and see if some future iTunes upgrade would fix the problem in the same mysterious way it appeared. You may have guessed by my writing in this forum that there was no joy on that coarse of action. So here I am for one more attempt with the vain hope that after a year someone else has had this problem and someone has figured out how to fix it.
    If, or likely when, no one can provide a fix this time, I would like to propose a solution with consideration for the year of being unable to access songs I legally purchased.

    Hey Caseyb1tx,
    I'd take a look at the following two articles to see if they can resolve the issue you're experiencing:
    iTunes: Downloading iTunes for Windows using Internet Explorer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3212
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    The File Download window will ask you to Run or Save the iTunes file you are downloading, try choosing each option to see if one works over the other - if you Save it, the iTunesSetup.exe file is saved onto your computer, so look where it is saving to and open the file from there to install iTunes.
    Have a good one,
    David

  • All websites does not load, even though internet connection is available.

    I am currently experiencing a problem in using my browser. Nothing appears in the browser window or the page does not load even if I typed the website address (and any website address for that matter). And we do have an active internet connection. I hope you can help us resolve this problem. Thank you.

    Hi Roland!
    First of all, your Firefox version isn't the latest one (current version is 3.6.3), so a good thing to try would be getting the latest version from [http://www.getfirefox.com/ GetFirefox.com] and install that, replacing your current version 3.5.9. Here I assume that you have another working browser from which you can download the file.
    This may not solve the problem (...but then again, it just might).
    If it makes no difference, we have some excellent guides to help identify and solve the problem.
    [[Error loading web sites]] is the best starting point and links to most of the other problem solving articles - please start out here and see if any of the articles can help you fix it.
    [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]] is one of the more likely problem crunching articles from your description.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

    I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out.  The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for.  Is this a stupid question?

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

  • My guest account is enabled, but does not show up in the login window. I'd like it to, thanks!

    I've tried disabling then enabling it, but it does not appear.

    Have you tried a safeboot? It can fix allot of account issues. Like accounts vanishing from the login list.
    if that doesn't work, You change the login window to Name & Password, then you can try logging in with the account name "guest". dos it let you login?
    if that doesn't work, can you post the output of  "dscl . read /users/Guest" ?  (skip JPEGPhoto)
