Lost digital book

I have purchased several albums from iTunes over the past few years.
I keep my music on my Mac and iPod.
My Mac Mini has had several issues with data loss including the loss of my music library and about half the songs.
Apple is trying to sort it out.
My issue is: I recently had to use my iPod to recover my songs and iTunes stuff.
I lost all my digital books.
My music and videos - thankfully - I was able to recover.
Can I get my digital books back from Apple?
Is there a way to properly rebuild your library after your computer dumps it? (simply transfering the backed up music from my iPod WITH ALL library details)?
This a rather frustrating issue as it is only in the last year that I have had any problems with an Apple product.
Cheers
Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Special Editon

also it sometimes gives me this message when i connected to my system "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"

  • Latest update doesn't allow disney digital book apps to open. how do I fix it?

    I havea couple of Disney digital books (apps for ipad). I have loaded the latest update to the ipad and now they won't open.  I have deleted them from my ipad and reinstalled them by syncing with my itunes, but still to now avail.  I have also tried to open the app in the app store from my ipad and it still won't open.  Is this a bug in the update?  Is there anything I can do? or have I just lost my money on purchasing the app?  Thanks

    I have the same problem and have taken the same steps as Mrs Chubbs. The problem started since the latest software was updated on my Ipad.

  • How can I get my music from a digital book onto my MAC?

    I purchased an album from iTunes using my iPad and now that I want to add it to my daughter's Nook from Mac its not giving me the music to download only the Digital book. How can I get my music and add to my library?

    It sounds to me like the option to  "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" was turned off in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences when you added the tracks from the flash drive, so iTunes left them on the flash drive rather than copying them to your computer's hard drive. Get Info on any of the tracks and see where iTunes thinks they should be located. If they're pointing to the flash drive, check that preference.
    If that is indeed the problem, you'll need to fix the location. You can do this track by track if there aren't too many, but if there are a number of them, it'll be easiest to remove them from the iTunes library, fix the above-mentioned preference, and add the tracks again. Or you can just keep the flash drive connected to your computer, but that's probably not ideal.
    Regards.

  • How to make hard cover paper book from iBooks author digital book

    Someone suggested I make a few hard cover books from my iBooks Author published digital book. How would you go about doing this?
    What file should I should I use, (PDF, etc)? What printer would do this best (iPhoto publishing, etc)?
    Hoping it will be easy to use the format of iBooks Author so that I won't have to make changes.
    Many thanks for your help.

    You can print directly from iBA or you can generate a PDF from the print menu and use that. Be sure to test layouts, orientation, etc. Of course certain content won't be output to a printer.
    There are hundreds of printers to choose from - shop your budget.

  • If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    First, epub has nothing to do with size, it is a file format that is popularly used for ebooks, but ebooks published in epub file formats vary greatly in file size.
    It will depend on where you buy it.  Many books are DRM locked (Digital Rights Management, a software lock).  If so, in order to load it into another companies reader or reader software, you need to use something like Adobe Digital Editions to "authorize" the book on the device.  Apple's iBook software does not work with ADE.
    If the book was DRM free, you should be able to read it in any ereader or ereader program that supports epub format.
    If the book is DRM locked to B&N, Amazon, Kobo or whichever seller you shopped from, then the simples thing is to download their free app for the iPad (they all make one, in fact they all make free apps for iPad, Android, Mac OS X and Windows).
    So the short answer is yes, you should be able to read any epub ebook file on an iPad, although not necessarily in iBook.
    So, books from
    Amazon - get the Kindle reader app
    B&N - get the Nook reader app
    Kobo - get the Kobo reader app
    non-DRM epubs can be read in iBook, Nook, Kobo, or Google Play

  • How to reset the Reader Digital Book.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There are two different types of reset procedures you can do on your Reader Digital Book - soft and hard.
    Soft Reset
    IMPORTANT: A soft reset can be performed anytime and will resolve most issues.
    Locate the reset button access hole. It is labeled RESET and, depending on your model, can be found on the back or bottom of your Reader device.
    PRS 500 NOTE: On the PRS-500 model, you must remove the soft cover to locate the rest button access hole.
    Using a thin object such as a paper clip or stylus (included with touch models), press the RESET button.
    The screen will not change after pressing the RESET button. You must now slide the POWER switch or press the POWER button (PRST1 only) to turn on the Reader device again.
    Hard Reset
    WARNING: There is a risk of data loss. After doing a hard reset, you will need to restore your content. Your purchased books can be restored from your account at the Reader store.
    IMPORTANT:
    You should only do a hard reset if necessary and as the last step for troubleshooting.
    After you do a hard reset, your Reader device will need to be authorized again from your Reader store account.

  • I lost my books purchased through itunes- how do I get them back?

    I lost my books and don't know how to recover them. I paid over 50.00 for them and would like to get them back.

    Hi,
    If you're using OS X Mavericks, the books are not included within iTunes anymore, they are in the iBooks application on the Mac.
    If you're not using Mavericks, go to the iTunes store, click purchased, then find the books section and download them again

  • I    I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto. Can I still get copies from the book without having to resend the actual photos.  Other photobook companies keep your book on file?

    I have done a photobook in iphoto and have had them produced and sent out to me.
    I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto so can't reorder more via the usual way.
    Does anyone know if the Photo company producing the books keep them on file, that way allowing you to buy more copies without actually resending
    in the book and photos.
    I usually use MyPublisher and they actually have your book on file and then you can just print them as you wish.
    Thanks

    Have just found the book and files on the external hard drive.
    All good.
    Thanks

  • How do I create a digital book that fits tablets and computer monitor sizes?

    How do I create a digital book that fits tablets and computer monitor sizes?
    Example: An 8.5 X 11, 2 column Word document with pictures, approximately 100 pages.
    Must I also publish the book in a 5X8 format or does Acrobat have something that will do that for me?

    Starting at the end:
    - When the movie or tv show does transfer onto your iphone/ipod touch you will be able to see it in the expanded view of your device in the "DEVICES" section.
    - If the files are not on your device, then:
         -- confirm you have SD or HD-SD video. HD-only content will not play and probably will not even sync. iTunes seems to reliably have SD versions with their HD distributions so this should not be an issue
         -- confirm you are synch-ing the content to the ipod device by browsing the DEVICE view's Movie or TV Show tabs to confirm the movie or episode is 'checked'
    - If the files are on the iPod and you cannot find them, check your Settings: General for Restrictions.  If you restrict, for example the movies to "G" rating. PG and higher movies will sync but you will not be able to find them on the iPod!

  • Digital books for TX

    I would like to use digital books (either pdf oe MP3) that are available from the public library on my TX. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    It depends on the format of the books, and whether they are "protected".  Protected MP3 files should be playable with the paid upgrade version of Pocket Tunes ( www.pocket-tunes.com ).
    As for pdf files, you'll probably only be able to access unprotected pdf files, using either PalmPDF or a relatively current version of Documents To Go.  I don't think library-available pdf books are unprotected...i.e. they probably won't work for you.

  • How to charge the Reader Digital Book.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Follow these guidelines when charging your Reader Digital Book:
    If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
    If possible charge the Reader device using an AC Adapter (optional for some models). When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, depending on your model, you with either see a lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] or a battery icon with an arrow [FIG. 2] that appears in the lower-right corner of the display of your Reader device. This is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
    It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
    If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
    Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
    After charging your Reader device, if the Reader Library software is still open, you should use the eject button in the Reader Library software to safely eject your Reader device. If you already closed the Reader Library software, you should use the Safely Remove Hardware feature of the Windows® operating system.
    NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.

  • Why I should spend money on digital books if you can't use?

    One thing about this department. Don't buy any digital books which requires to use Adobe Digital Edition. Software is not finished, doesn't support tablet. That's wrong is with Adobe reader? Why you can't integrate this into adobe reader? Why you people forcing people to use look for pirate version instead giving chance to use legal books. Just silly people working and making crappy software.
    I bought books digital edition and I can't use it. Even Adobe Digital edition can't authorize my computer with adobe id or any other vendors which they are giving to chose.This last time when I spend money on books which requiring Adobe Didital edtion. Better I will download from some other sources instead buying stuff.

    Most people today have smartphones and all smartphones have built in portable routers that can be connected to any Wi-Fi device,
    That is speculation on your part.  Many people do not have smartphones - according to news groups like Gartner, only about 40% of global mobile phone sales are smart phones, so the majority of people do not, in fact, have smartphones.
    Second, many of us with smartphones, do not have tethering plans, and do not want tethering plans.  Many people only use or need the cellular connectivity of their iPad or tablet occasionally, so why pay a much more expensive monthly fee for a tethering plan when you can just enable the cellular data on the iPad when needed, and only for as long as needed?  Adding a tethering enabled data plan on your smart phone can be awefully expensive if you only occasionaly actually use tethering - why pay for something you are not using?
    Its true that most iPads sold are in fact wifi-only, and even of the 3G and LTE units sold, many never activate service.  So it would appear that few actually use cellular data.  However, I am sure there are people who do - and having to tether all the time to another device every time you need cellular data would likely be a real annoyance for some true road warriors who are often in places without free wifi.
    And you can make calls on your iPad - you just need to use a VOIP service and client.

    I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

    No kids or pets --- just me!I don't think there is too much mystery about the deletion of Address Book on my laptop.  I was trying to get it up-to-date from my desktop computer and as that is Lion and the laptop is sitll Leopard (all these ***** cats!) I must have trashed the laptop Address Book, then tried to install the one from Lion but, of course it couldn't be installed - wrong system!  By then I had lost Address Book!!  Horrors!  I then lifted it from my husband's computer (Panther or something!) et voila!   But I had expected to have all HIS names and address in Address Book when I opened it but -- not so, his were not there and mine were!   Don't ask!!
    Thanks again and regards, Lecia
