IBook on Mac

Question, I have a lot of PDF files in my ibook app. Is there away to view them on my macbook like to do on my ipad?

If you downloaded the iBook from the iTunes Store, delete it and download it again. if it still doesn't work, contact apple here: https://getsupport.apple.com/ServiceOptionAction.action
If you downloaded it from somewhere else, the iBook is corrupted. Contact the person/service you got if from.

  • How to get books onto iPad when iBooks for Mac refuses to sync.

    I have around 300 books which were originally in the books section of iTunes. Since upgrading to Mavericks the new iBooks for Mac is moved them all over and I ma now unable to access most of them on my iPad despite making sure all settings are correct. None of the books I use for study created by iBooks Author will now transfer. The only ones that seem to are those recently purchased from iTunes. Anybody out there found a solution yet. Apparently Apple admit that only books purchased from iTunes will sync, but I need to be able to get them on my iPad. I don't care if they sync or not.

    There are a few categorical places one must visit in order to synchronize iBooks for Mac with IOS iBooks. There is no need to remove the iBook for Mac application.
    System Preferences > iCloud > Documents and Data is enabled
    IOS Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections (enabled) and optionally Sync Bookmarks (enabled)Assumption that iCloud is enabled on the IOS device with documents and data enabled
    iBook for Mac > Preferences > General: Sync: Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices
    iTunes
    Pick your IOS Device under DEVICES in the left nav
    Choose Books along the top toolbar
    In the Books panel, choose one of the following
    Books and PDF Files
    Books only
    PDF only
    In the Sync Books panel
    All Books
    Selected BooksClick the box next to the books you wish to Sync
    Select iTunes Sync
    The books (and PDF) you selected above are now on your IOS device

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

  • Can't send mail from my ibook g4 mac os x 10.3.9

    Hello,
    Everything was working fine until yesterday (Oct 31st)-
    Suddenly i could receive mail directly via my mac ibook g4 (mac os x 10.3.9) but could no longer send anything out.
    How can i fix this problem and why did it suddenly happen? I don't think I changed anything on my mac.
    I would greatly appreciate any help on this ...Please!!

    thanks for the response;
    can you explain exactly what you mean?
    basically i haven't been able to send any mail out using my @mac.com email address for the last 3 days which seems like an unusually long time.
    I guess I don't really understand because I thought if I want my mail sent out using my @mac.com email address, I would need to use the stmp.mac.com server .. is that not correct? I mean can I use another server via my old mac which would allow for me to use my @mac.com email address or do you mean I need to use a gmail or other email account?
    would greatly appreciate a detailed response on how to be able to send mail via my mac directly using my mac.com email address.
    but failing that, can you walk me thru how I would use a gmail account - I don't know how to set up the preferences under mail to do that (account type? server setting?) or if there's an article online you can steer me to that would be great.
    I don't have any other active servers for my mail set up at the moment (used to have aol and earthlink but no longer have those accounts).
    thanks in advance..

  • IBooks for Mac - purchase books as gifts

    I know in the past it was not possible to purchase books as gifts. I've seen in iBooks for iOS it is now possible to send a book as a gift; it is shown as an option at the bottom of the Featured screen.
    With iBooks for Macs running Mavericks, can you gift a book? Or, if you want to send a book as a gift, do you need to do so using iBooks for iOS?
    Thanks.

    I’m seeing the same thing on my MacBook Pro. My Mac mini, running the same OS X version 10.9.3 doesn’t have this issue. The issue exists across user accounts on the MBP.

  • IBooks for Mac Doesn't Reopen Books

    iBooks isn't reopening windows after I close it. Here's what I do in sequence:
    1. Open iBooks.
    2. Double-click a book.
    3. Click the fullscreen button in the upper-right corner.
    4. Quit iBooks with CMD + Q.
    5. Open iBooks.
    No windows pop up, not even my Library. I have to quit and open it again to get the Library back.
    Also, it doesn't sync my progress in books between iBooks for Mac and iBooks for iPad correctly. It usually puts me a chapter or two behind where I am.
    When Apple released the update, I hoped it would fix it, but nobody else seems to have this problem.

  • Are you ever going to make iBooks for Mac OSX?

    It seems crazy to me that Apple has not released iBooks for the Mac!! Why would you hold out on such an essential tool for students or anyone wanting to use their computers and iOS devices for reading??
    Has there been any new for a forthcoming iBooks for Mac?

    No, and I doubt there will ever be. iBooks is only for iOS.

  • 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:

  • Video controls in iBooks for Mac

    I'm producing a Fixed Layout ePub, with video and animation.
    Some videos fit the width of the page, nothing to report on iPad reading, but on iBooks for Mac I can't play the video because "play" button is "under" the iBooks "turn page" button!
    I see video controls "iPad-like" on Mac, in books like "Yellow Submarine": I've tried to see the code but these books are encrypted.. any help?

    Open iBooks -> open book -> edit -> speech -> start speaking.

  • Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • Q: If you never initiate iBooks for Mac conversion...

    can you keep using (latest) iTunes under Mavericks to manage your ebook/pdf collections?
    Reason I am asking is that I have also experienced the problems with new, standalone iBooks described here and elesewhere. I have since reverted back to Mountain Lion, but eventually I would like to use Mavericks until Apple fixes the iBooks for Mac. Never initiating iBooks conversion seems like the cleanest solution (if it works).
    Thanks!

    Like you, I reverted back to Mountain Lion until a workaround was found.  It sounds like someone has done it now:
    Re: Not impressed! No edit info, no library management!
    I think this might work, but I'd be interested in hearing whether the simple step of stopping and deleting the bookstoreagent will work as a preventative measure.
    Anyone willing to give it a try and share their experiences here?

  • : I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I  cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

    : I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I  cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

    Are you saying the iBook G4 you have is running OS X 10.5.6?
    The next file to get for it would be the Combo update 10.5.8 for Leopard.
    And any old archived Flash player for 10.5.8 from Adobe flash site.
    A browser such as TenFourFox, iCab, SeaMonkey-PPC, these are OK
    but you won't be able to go past Leopard 10.5(.8) in a PowerPC Mac.
    All these are free bits, however anything past 10.5.8 Mac OS X
    would require a newer Mac with Intel-based architecture. Macs
    made in 2006+ can see later OS X versions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Upgrade my iBook g4  Mac OS X 10.3.9 toMac OS X 10.6

    Can I upgrade my iBook g4  Mac OS X 10.3.9 to Mac OS X 10.6 retail DVD

    You have a PowerPC-based Mac, and the most recent version a PowerPC-based Mac can run is Mac OS X 10.5.8. Apple dropped PowerPC support in 10.6.
    You are running Panther, and you can upgrade to Tiger or Leopard, if your Mac meets the requirements > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp517 As these versions aren't supported by Apple anymore, you will have to buy them in Internet at a high price. To be honest, it's better to get another Mac or PC
