Read ibook on macbook pro

I purchased an iBook on my iPhone and synced with iTunes on my Macbook Pro.
Can I read the ibook on my Macbook Pro computer as well as the iPhone?

No, right on the purchase page for your book it normally says that it requires an iOS device to read it.  The only exceptions would be certain books without DRM like O'Reilly and Take Control.

  • Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

    Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
    Please advice.

    Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
    There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
    Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
    Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
    Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

  • I can't download new version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  Please help?

    I can't download a newer version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  What can I do? 

    No, sorry, that's not how forums work. We are just ordinary people, not employed by Adobe (and Adobe won't help, because it's free software).
    Step 1. Try to get the file you want on screen. I expect you to see the message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document"
    Step 2. Understand you are looking at a page of a file, even though it looks like an error message. It is in a window, right?
    Step 3. Move your mouse towards the bottom of the window. Stop moving the mouse. A little bar should appear with four buttons.
    Step 4. Click the fourth button.
    Step 5. Open FINDER.
    Step 6. Open Downloads from your left bar.
    Step 7. Find the file you just downloaded.
    Step 8. Double click on that file to open it.
    Please do not skip anything, just because you don't understand it. Instead, let us know.
    If these instructions let you down, please let us know (a) on which step, and (b) what actually happens instead of what I said.

  • Migration from G3 iBook to Macbook Pro 2.16

    I bought a Macbook Pro Core2Duo 2.16 when I was in the States in January. Used Migration Assistant to transfer system from the iBook G3 (10.3.9) when I got home in February. No real problems (& the Pro is perfect -- and the great iBook is still in use) but there is a system confusion I caused and then ignored.
    On login I have 2 user accounts where there should be one (me). One is in the name of the old system, Howard Dratch, and opens with the PW for the Pro and Tiger. The other is hfdratch which should have been the name for the new machine. It shakes off the PW for the MBP. I have been worried about logging in with it on iBook's PW wondering if I will enter some Panther ghost-system.
    Also, in HD/Users(the folder with an icon)/Deleted Users there is a dmg file labeled hfdratch with 4.4GB. I haven't mounted it to see what comes out. Should it be there taking up 4+gigs?
    Obviously I did something wrong when I migrated. Any suggestions as to whether to delete one of the user options on startup and what, if anything, to do to the dmg file would be appreciated.

    An ethernet cable should go faster. That's how I did it yesterday. However, even so the Migration Assistant said it would take 5 hours. So I drilled down into the options and de-selected my music and my photos and just moved apps and account settings. After about 90 minutes I was up and running. At that point I enabled File Sharing on my old computer, then logged into it using Finder on the new one. I manually copied over my music and photos into the appropriate directories while I continued to work. Despite what Migration Assistant said, it only took about 90 more minutes to do that while I was actually writing a document in MS Word on the new one.

  • Ibook to macbook pro

    hello there. i have the g4 ibook, and i am wondering what is the best way to transfer my important files that i will need on my new macbook pro. i have iphoto, itunes, address book, files that i would like to transfer. i also have quicktime files that are located on a folder called shared which i obtained through limewire. i have done a little research in the discussions, but i would like some concrete answers on the most effective/cheapest way of doing this. thank you

    Hi Trailer,
    What do you exactly mean by erasing your libraries? Do you mean erase them from your previous computer? You can just drag them to the folders to the Trash and then go to Finder > Empty Trash. This might take some time, but it should delete your iPhoto/iTunes folder. Do you want to wipe all the contents off your iBook? If so, let us know; we can walk you through it.

    Niel,
    When transferring over to the MacBook Pro via Migration Assistant, would items in the InputManger folder cause any minor problems (slow it down a bit)? I have read some articles that say that this items in this folder has cause the MacBook Pro to run little slower then it should be. With iTunes should one select Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized before moving it with Migration Assistant? Just wondering, I didn't use Migration Assistant.

  • Connecting & Using G3 iBook With MacBook Pro

    I am planning to buy a MacBookPro shortly when I am in the States. Will I be able to connect to my iBook G3 on 10.3.9 (640mb) both to transfer files and to use the iBook as an external hard-drive (bootable)?
    If so, do I need anything more than the connecting cable and maybe some software like SuperDuper?
    Again, the question that is probably unanswerable -- can I buy a refurbished MacBook Pro or are they just recycled lemons? My wallet needs the price tag, my head doesn't need more problems.

    You'll be able to connect your iBook although it will NOT be bootable. The Mac OS X version on Intel systems is different to that of the PowerPC systems.

  • IBook or MacBook  Pro

    Hi i was just wondering if anyone could help me out. I am a new mac user and I was wondering what laptop I should get. I am trying to debate between the iBook 14" or the 2.0 GHz MacBook Pro. I am not a very advanced computer user. Like I go on the web a lot and check email and use itunes and iphoto the most. I also use Word and maybe play some occasional computer games too. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    Stinz,
    In no way shape or form does the MacBook Pro suit your needs. From what you are saying, you use the "iLifes" and some basic gaming. The iBook G4 14" will suit you fine, and with the left over money you can buy a good external hard drive, wireless mouse/keyboard, Monk Episodes, candy bars, etc. If you were to buy the MacBook Pro, I would assume you are going through a midlife crisis. Why spend the extra money on a computer that is for Professional when you actually will get a whole lot more with a more economical one. Really though, it comes down to a couple of things:
    Your budget, can you afford that expense (Buy AppleCare No Matter What!)
    What you think.
    What your friends think.
    What the Apple Employee tells you.
    And your last minute urge when you are getting ready to buy a computer!

  • External hard drive documents not read on a MacBook Pro

    Hi all,
    I use my external hard drive to save a document from another  PC computer last week when I plugged it  back on my Mac the documents cannot be  read on a Mac as it says they are not supports by apps software or search for application that will open those files.
    I have all the documents which I copy from my previous Toshiba Laptop which was windows7 but is there way to clean the external drive on Mac without loosing all the document? or how do I format my external hard disk on MacBook Pro?
    Jok2

    You can copy these documents to the internal drive of your MacBook Pro and then, format the external drive. If you want to use the external drive on Macs and PCs, I recommend you to format your external drive on a PC to use exFAT, better than NTFS or FAT32. You can also use FAT32 but it isn't compatible with files bigger than 4 GB, and NTFS disks can't be written on Macs. If you want to use this external drive only with your Mac, you can use Disk Utility to format the external drive using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Read > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    Depending on the application you used to create the documents on the PC, you have to install an application that reads these documents. For example, if you created these documents with Office, you can use Office for Mac, iWork or LibreOffice. Each one has got its advantages and disadvantages

  • Adobe Reader Update for MacBook Pro with Retina Display

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and noticed when I downloaded Adobe Reader that it had not yet been updated to support the new Retina Display. If I remember correctly, it was announced that Adobe Photshop has been updated to support the new display. Will there also be an update for Reader any time soon?

    Hi,
    Reader and Acrobat XI will support Retina display for both the user interface and document rendering with the September update.
    For now, the UI is Retina capable but the document content is still rendered at a lower resolution.
    Few more weeks to go
    Best,
