Oh no did I AGAIN open my ibook to the hackers?

I was assisting a Windows CE user on Usenet and posted a handful of screenshots for him. One of my screenshots perhaps gave away my ip to my ibook but I am not sure. This is not the ip address that is reported in Network Info.
If serious I can remove the screenshot, but its already been exposed and if its safe I want to assist this user with his new purchase. Yes I can troubleshoot Windows and the Mac.

As Barry posted in your other topic, the 192.168.x.x IP range is defined as Private Address Space. These addresses only have meaning within your own local network, for example, on "your side" of a broadband router. Because they are not on the Internet at large, different private networks can reuse those same IPs. Someone outside the local network cannot ever access you via that IP using any software or protocol, so there's no harm in revealing that your machine calls itself 192.168.0.3 (which is coincidentally the IP of my laptop, and of the printer at my friend's office).

I can't open Maps, iBooks, or the App Store on my Mac

I just installed OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Mac (specs below). The install went fairly smoothly with no hiccups. After installing, I ran CleanMyMac, which cleared my cache, language files, etc. I've run this program millions of times before with no problems.
I've now discovered that I cannot open Maps, iBooks, or the App Store on my Mac. I can open and run iTunes, but when prompted by iTunes to update to the latest version, I click 'OK' and see no response (i.e., the App Store does not open).
Can anyone provide any guidance?
Specs:
Mid-2009 MBP 13.3
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
750GB 7200RPM HDD

Yesterday was the first time I use the CleanMyMac and thanks it damaged my OS.
My solution was Reinstalling OS X
How?
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Note: be sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
I did it today, it's finally working without any loss!

Dropbox "open in" iBooks iOS app sends PDF but it doesn't actually exist

Hi everyone,
I loaded a large (270MB) PDF in Dropbox and then hit the "export" button, chose the "open in" option, and chose iBooks. It finished exporting, and when I opened iBooks, the PDF was nowhere to be found. I typically skate on the edge of having full usage on my phone, so there was possibly not enough storage on my phone to have the PDF open in Dropbox and stored in iBooks simultaneously. The thing is, I looked at my Usage settings, and it shows that iBooks is taking up 280MB even though when I open up the app, there are NO books, PDFs, or anything stored in it. It's like the PDF exported and is taking up storage, but I can't see it so I can't delete it. I tried freeing up memory and doing it again, but no avail. Anyone know how I can delete this phantom PDF?
Thanks!
Austin

Hi James,
I tried it, and it didn't work. After it restarted, I unlocked my phone as prompted to do after a restart, opened iBooks, and it gave me an "Unable to download content. Try again later" pop-up. I hit ok, and there was still nothing in iBooks. Upon checking usage again, there is still 280MB registered as being used by iBooks. Any other advice? I've tried deleting Dropbox, which didn't work. I am thinking about plugging it into my Macbook and trying to either manage content that way to see it it appears, or I guess if worst comes to worst I can restore a backup... though then I'd lose everything new that I did today... Thanks for the help, any additional advice would be much appreciated!
Best,
Austin

I did it! Opened Intel Mac all by myself!

Hello,
For a girl, I like to think I'm a little tech savy. I like gadgets just like most guys. I have recently picked up a Intel Mac Mini and was kinda itching to crack it open to see what kind of trouble I could get into. (Hopefully none of course)
Its my 3rd day with this new toy and I found it running very slow just surfing and thought maybe if I put a bit more ram in it, it might help. However, I only had an old 512 and turns out to be the wrong kind (ddr333). But I cracked open the case none the less just to torture myself!!!!
All I can say is it was EASY as pie to open the case. I used a spatual, kind of rectangular, about 1.5 to 2 inches wide (didn't measure it) it was pretty flimsy and very thin and looked like it would do the job. I had on hand the tools that came with a replacement battery for the Ipod MIni. Futureshop had installed it and gave back the tools for me to keep. The plastic thingy used to pry open the Ipod Mini helped a bit to wedge the Mac Mini when I went to the other side, so all in all it took less than a minute to open the case. It actually looks hard and scary but isn't at all.
I fretted about the antenna and checked the web abit ....just squeeze the 2 black thingys under the antenna together and it will pop up..but don't let it fly off, there's a spring under the antenna so be careful. The antenna is attached to a wire, so don't pull away..just lay it over the side for now and and remember its there so as to not rip it off the wires.
Next step that was a bit tricky was getting this wire attached to a small plastic thing at the front off. Sorry can't really explain what it is but it needs to be popped off from where it is attached. I used my Ipod plastic tool to help wedge it upwards bit by bit to get it off. It is a very tight spot and even my little fingers got in the way. That took a few minutes.
Now the part I hated the most was removing the screws. 3 are the same size and the 4th is longer. Make sure you place the mac mini a certain way when removing the screws so as to not mix them up. I place the screws in the way they were removed and made sure the mini was facing the same way when putting the screws back in. Not really rocket science but helps.
Okay, what I didn't like about the screws is it was a bit tricky to get them out as they were not out in the open except for one. The screws are very tiny..my "00" screwdriver didn't work well but the tools from the Ipod Mini did come in handy..I used the screwdriver to remove the screws . (glad I had it) You need to be careful not to drop them in the hole when screwing the back in.
Once all the screws were off and the little plastic connector removed, you can now gently lift up this top half where the harddrive is housed. When lifting, watch for the brownish cable that is attached on one side, it is attached to the top and bottom halves. You need to lean to top half over towards the brown cable so not rip it off. Also this is where the antenna is hanging over, so watch out you don't rip the antenna off at this stage too.
To change the ram is just like changing ram on your laptop. Same clippy things.
I checked the ram and yes, my old ram is not compatible so I'm S.O.L. and have to re-open this baby tomorrow as I'll be running out to get some.
So when closing up the Mini, I gingerly flipped the top part back over and watched out for the antenna. Put the antenna back on by squeezing the black thingys again and it snapped into place nicely. No big there.
Fussed a teeny bit to line up the holes. Put the plastic wire connector thingy back in at the front...it was tricky again as the space is so small to work in. Once I felt the top portion lined up, I carefully put the screws back in....praying that they didn't fall off into the unit. That would really pee me off as I would have to probably turn it upside down to get the screw out!?!? But all was well!
Lastly, put the case back on. First gently placing it on and lining it up as there is a metal thingy at the back end and make sure no wires are hanging out. Once I thought everything looked okay, I had to tap each corner down until the case went into place completely. Viola!!! All for not!!!
Hopefully everything will be fine tomorrow when I do it all over again. If I can do it..so can you!!!
Enjoy all!

Sal,
No.
1. The actual text of the warranty and the applicable law* govern, not the manual. For the armchair lawyers who bring up e) in the warranty: The burden of proof of damage caused is still on Apple.
2. Reread the manual: It does not and cannot legally say that opening the case voids the warranty.
Even though the manual says that there are no user upgradable parts, it doesn't change Apple's obligations under the warranty or take away your rights under federal (and New York state) statutes.
One thing to keep in mind: Anything you install and anything you break because you did so are not covered by warranty. If you don't know what you're doing, you should stay out of the guts of your computer.

Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
To unhide your purchases
Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button.

None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks. They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page. I have checked all the newbie mistakes. Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC. Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro. I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence. This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself. (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.) I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail. To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up. Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks. iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book. I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing. Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password. Nothing else.
I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me. At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

My 4 yr old is addicted to you tube on ipad 2 all of a sudden screen is black cant play anything.... Reset settings it worked for awhile then he did it again don't know how he is doing it anyone know...

4yr old addicted to you tube..... All of a sudden screen is going black...did a reset which sorted it out then he did it again..... I don't know what he is doing to cause this...... Anyone know how to fix it.... Thanks Louise

If you want some advice from a parent who has a 5yr old, a 3yr old and a 1yr old using Ipads... Keep them off the Youtube stuff.. It has caused more problems for me than anything you would believe..
From issues with the Ipads... finding they have gone from Dora the Explorer vidoes to cartoons of characters called poopman... and the biggest problem.. I think the overdose of Ipad usage has ruined my kids from doing what regular kids should be doing.. On xmas they opened all their gifts, then just went back to the ipads.. I thought Candyland and Chutes and Ladders would be a big change.. Forget it.. They need rehab from Ipad..

Open in "iBooks" button has stopped working (for PDF files)..plz help!!

The "open in iBooks" prompt was working just fine until last night..but when I tried the same today on a PDF file (as usual..) ..it did not work:(

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

TS1702 Previously purchased book on iBooks, previously read. Still visible on iBooks on the iPad. When I attempt to open the book now, I get the message: "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." Help. Larry

On iBooks app on iPad: When trying to open a previously purchased and read book, I get the message "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." How can I open the book again? Larry107

Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions.

"When I select open in iBooks, iBooks opens and the PDF shows as thumbnail then goes away." please help
My iBook has at least 350 PDF file, some of them big i.e 40 MB

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

How do get PDFs to open in iBooks not a viewer?

I am trying to open a PDF that I downloaded into iBooks on my MacBook Air. When I attempt to open it it opens using my Smart Viewer. I would like to open it in iBooks so I can take notes, highlight, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you picas. I did learn that if I go to a pdf on my computer and tell it to open with iBooks I have the option of having all pdfs open in iBooks. I appreciate your help.

Epub borrowed library book is not opening in ibooks?

My epub ebook, which I borrowed from my public library, will not open in ibooks since upgrading to Maverick. Not only did I have to upgrade my iTunes, because when I upgraded my iphone, it was no longer syncing with the original version of iTunes... But now that I have the newer version of iTunes 11.1...I'm having problems synching my ebooks.
Also, since upgrading my Mac with a Maverick, I can no longer attach photos to emails or FaceBook, without first dragging pics from iphotos into my desktop...then attaching them from the desktop....

Does your library say that its ebooks can be read by iBooks? Normally they tell you exactly what app you need, and usually this is something else, like Adobe Digital Editions.
To ask questions about Mavericks other than iBooks, you need to go to

Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care,
