IBooks app retaining old .ibooks information after newer version of file is added to app

The title pretty much says it all. When creating a file in iBooks author, then exporting it to say, the desktop, as an .ibooks file - then adding that to the iBooks app on the iPad in iOS 7, it reads fine and everything looks great.
Going back to that same project in iBooks author, revising it, then exporting it to the desktop (with and without different revision levels and titles), then importing it into iBooks on the iPad results in the existing file opening up on the iPad with none of the changes acknowledged.
If you first *remove* the original file from iBooks on the iPad, then import the new file you're fine - but for some reason the iBooks app doesn't acknowledge the revision update otherwise (this is for a non profit title not being distributed through the store). We've tried this on three different computers and iPads, all with the same results. Any ideas as to why this is?
Thanks!

If you first *remove* the original file from iBooks on the iPad, then import the new file you're fine
You've just correctly defined the process for your example. The 'update' process that is quoted by Apple applies to store distribution.
If you can't rely on your users to delete the old version when you release a new version, don't version-update a given book - instead, publish editions...unique books in a series. myBook 1; myBook 2; myBook 3, etc.

App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop, App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop

So, where I work, we have a script that handles all of our heavy lifting. This script is running on CS6, and all of the users are running CC 2014. Now when the CS6 machine opens a document with any type of vector object from CC 2014 it throws a dialog box asking if I want to flatten, cancel, or Keep layers. I do have DISPLAYDIALOGS.NO set at the top of this script.
I under stand scripting quite well, but I'm just not sure if there are app.open options to tell this to keep layers. Also, I'm pretty sure a try catch block will not work, becuase this dialog appears before the image is actually pixels on the screen.
When the script generates our web images I've tried to flatten the document right after its opened and I still see this dialog. Any help would be super appreciated.
Thank you!

app.open will encounter problems that you really have no control over so you get an annoying dialog that you can't do anything with. The one that caused me the most grief is when a script tries to open a corrupt jpg image. IMNSHO, app.open should throw an Exception if it can't open the file and DisplayDialogs.NO is set. That way you can log the filename and deal with it later.
Bottom line is that there is nothing you can do in JS. One thing I have done in the past was use a utility like AutoKey on Windows that looks for these dialogs and automatically responds to them so you can continue processing. I'm fairly certain there is something similar available for OS X.

My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

Seriously, I doubt that your answer helped Erik. He has two issues.
He installed the new program and has a double icon folders with software. One for the new & one for the old. (I have this same problem.)
He must have attempted to open one of the products and no longer see his personal settings transferred over. (The install will ask to have those settings migrating, but you have to accept it. eh, I could be wrong; but, that what i remembered doing.
I concur with his first.
However, i can not get any of my products to work. Ie. have to constantly click on icon to open; once open i get a unexpected error and have to close. I'm on a mac pro w/ latest os system.
In addition, I have tried to uninstall the older by clicking on the application's manager icon.; Unfortunately, it shuts down at each attempt. Therefore, I am unable to un-install the old product or the new.
Possibly, we were hoping that the new product would be simply updated if an old recent was already installed.
Instead, the installation simply created a new icon and the new folder with product.

How do you transfer my itunes ,music, apps,from old PC to a new PC

How do you transfer my old itunes account music,apps from old PC to a new Pc?

These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your library or a backup of it then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

No, the Adobe installer will simply over-write the earlier version.

If i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

if i buy a game or app from the itunes and a new version of that game or app comes out do i need to buy it again

It depends on how the developer chooses to release the new version. If they release it only as an update to the existing app in the iTunes Store then no, you won't have to buy it again. If they release it as a new app - usually they'll change the name slightly - then you will have to buy it again.

IOS new version ipa file is not showing updates in afaria

Hi,
I am using Afaria 7 SP 4,
I have updated my application policy with a new version ipa file,
While applying the policies to device, there is no message shown for the updates in afaria application.
on taking the iOS build the build number is incremented to next version.
could anyone help highlight on what could be the issue?
Regards,
Saravanan.R

Well, first of all, I'm on OS X, not XP, so the control panel doesn't help me :\
as for the automatic update, I like it for all the security updates etc. etc. that come down the pipeline that I don't read about.
Thanks for your attempted help though

I want my old iTunes back, I am sick of uninstalling and reinstalling this new version. I just need my apps for my new iPhone6

how can I just get my old itunes back. I am not going to continue uninstalling and reinstalling the new version. I had it on my computer, and for some reason it crashed and I started this commotion. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the help of Fix It and advice from many people. Every time I get a new error. Sick to death of it. I only need it to sync my apps to my phone and to use iCloud.
If anyone can get me back to some other version that I can use, I would really appreciate it.
I have Windows 7 on my PC

If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described inEmpty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)
If you have trouble uninstalling or reinstalling see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. The same tip should help you get iTunes 12 installed properly if you want to give it a try.

Ibooks for ipod 4g was deleted and new version of it was unable to sync. so please can you help me with that?

On my apple ipod 4g (ios 6.1.6) ibooks was deleted and new version of it was unable to sync on my pod. Can please help me with that?

Try going to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod and you should be able to redownload an older compatible version of the app from there - you won't be able to do it from your computer's iTunes, you can only download the current version of an app on there, it is only directly on a device that you can potentially redownload an older compatible version.

I have an IBOOK G4 When I try to update new version of ff the file comes up as unable to mount.

The new version of firefox can not be updated. It downloads just fine. But when I open the file it says file can not be mounted. I don't know what to do.

As you are currently using Firefox 2.0.0.20, you will be using at least OS X 10.2 which is the minimum version of OS X that it needs. As your iBook was purchased in 2004 it may be using OS X 10.3 (OS X 10.3 was released in 2003).
OS X 10.4 was released in 2005. You are unlikely to be able to run a newer version of Firefox than 2.0.0.20, which you are currently using.
