US iBooks Store should have access to ALL books worldwide

The US is very rich in cultures. For instance it has a very big Latin American population. The iBooks store should have access to the Spanish books sold in Spanish countries so that this portion of US citizens can read books in their native language. The same goes for every other culture in the US. That's why I'm saying that the US iBooks Store should have access to ALL the libraries in the world of iBooks Stores. Thanks.

To expand on Tamara's answer a little, the publishing industry (books, music, movies, etc) is not a world-wide monolith. Each country has its own copyright laws which sometimes are quite different from even countries bordering it. This has led to publishers having many subsidiaries and/or working agreements with local publishers. A British author doesn't need to have his/her work translated (which adds its own copyright issues to the meld) but still will require both a US and a UK publisher for the book to be published in both countries. It isn't just a simple matter of lots of books being printed and then shipping some of them across the ocean.
This mess has existed for a very long time and Apple can't just wave a wand and make it go away.

    I gave my old MacBook Pro away and no longer have access to it. I didn't think to deauthorize it first. I DO NOT want it to have access to all music in my iCloud or any music that may have been downloaded sinceI gave away the computer. It now belongs to my teenage daughter,who has since been in my WI-FI area and knows that code. I had EVERYTHING removed from the computer before I gave it to her (long story), but since I hadn't deauthorized the Mac,I'm assuming even without the itunes password the iCloud material would had loaded onto her computer.My iCloud had somehow included personal voice mails under Unknown Artist that I did not want on there or shared. How can I deauthorize the Mac Laptop without having the machine available to do it on? Change the iTunes/iCloud password? I should now have my desktop computer, new PC (Aspire) laptop,Ipod Touch, and if possible my Evo 3D as well as my boyfriend's Samsung smartphone being able to access the iCloud account/library--whatever it is called. HELP

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" or "Windows Store App" filters.

    Hi all,
    I don't know where to post this or how to feedback to the "Store" app.
    My friends and I think Windows Store should have a "Desktop App" filter feature.
    Thinking when you search for the app and have some Desktop apps appear in search result can be sometime frustrated.
    Or some user just want to find some desktop app for his PC, he should search in Windows Store easily by just filter only desktop apps.
    I think it would be a great feature for Windows Store.
    Thanks.

    Hello P.
    when you have the Windows-10-Preview, you can use the feedback-function to provide the information to microsoft directly. As Microsoft meantioned in the live-Stream (21/01/2015), microsoft is giong to listen to users feedback.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

  • My user name has disappeared on my old Macbook 10.6.8. I have access to all the other user names BUT mine. I haven't backed up my stuff. HELP!

    I have access to all of the user names on my Macbook, including one of the Admin accounts, that is my wife's. BUT I can't fine mine ANYWHERE. It seems like it all started when I started to clean up my "Startup disk" and deleted just the basic apps I KNOW weren't Mac related.(Like Dropbox, Tom Tom, Google Drive, etc)
    I did surf and find and tried Ctrl+S but I'm a little confused on WHEN to enter this option, I tried doing it when restarting it, AND when it powered back up. Notthing.
    maybe I'm doing something wrong.
    So to recap
    I CAN access my Macbook, but ONLY with other user accounts NOT MY OWN AND CAN'T ACCESS ANY OF MY FILES.
    Thanks for your help!

    You might consider upgrading the RAM. 1GB is the bare minimum to run Mac OS X 10.6.8. See this page for RAM information for your Mac: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.16-whit e-13-mid-2007-specs.html.
    You are also running low on free disk space, so consider moving files over to an external drive or delete files you no longer need.
    Also, please explain what "done other maintenance" involves.

  • How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo?

    How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo? My photos only appear when I (the administrator) log into the computer. I want my kids to be able to access them also.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Why don't I have access to all of my filters in Photoshop?

    I bought the Master Collection CS5. In my Photoshop I used to have access to all the filters. Now about 2 years later all of a sudden I don't have access to all the filters. Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?

    Hello,
    It could be something simple like you are in CMYK or a High Bit mode. Go Image>Mode and see if the filters become available if you choose RGB and 8 Bits/Channel.

    If I buy a photoshop CS6, will I in future have access to all new rawfiles for new cameramodels? Will it update automatically?

    yes and no.
    adobe periodically releases it dng converter which is a stand-alone app that always raw file conversion no matter the app version, http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    each app/version can be updated automatically up to a certain point.  currently cs6 accepts the latest cr update, 8.3.

  • I recently upgraded my old powerbook to an iMac.  I've dumped the files of my backup drive into the new iMac. Is there a way to have access to all the files (new and old computers) when logged on as the same user vs. logging in and out to access each?

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • In my iBooks store I have the crime and thriller category, but can't get back to the main page with all the categories.  Help!

    iBooks

    Is the store frozen i.e. can you navigate within that category ? You could try closing the iBooks app completely and then re-open it and see if it then works : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • HT4059 I can access the ibook store but when I press "buy book" nothing happens.  what could be the problem and potential solution?

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

  • Why do I not have access to all the features of my Canon MG5320 printer in all applications which use a printer? The printer has two paper paths. The rear path is used for photo paper and other specialty papers. this is only one "unavailable".

    I have an iMac late 2012 with OSX 10.8.
    The MG5320 has two paper feed paths; one at the rear for photo paper, brochure paper, and other specialty papers and a tray for regular 8½x11 paper. It also can print on CDs and DVDs and has an automatic duplexer. Canon provides a utility for printing on the CDs and DVDs and also for printing photos and other specialty items. This is available in Mac format also. I installed the most recent drivers and utilities.
    I also have a HP IBM Compatible computer on which the above printer as well as an Epson are installed. Every option of each printer is available in every software application that has need for a printer.
    The Mac printer dialog varies from one application to another. The only applications that list the option for selecting paper quality which includes photo paper are Office for Mac, Pages, and Numbers. Not likely that I would be using any of these for photo printing. Auto duplexing, however, is not available here or in any other applications.
    The print dialog in Aperture, Photoshop Elements for Mac, ACDSee for Mac, or iPhoto provide the choice of numerous sizes of paper but no option for paper quality. Therefore, I attempted to use the print utility supplied by Canon and updated by Apple for printing some photos. The photos are selected in this utility. When the print command was given I was shown a message that the printer was being reset. It then began printing a spreadsheet, which was not even open, from the front tray on regular paper in fast draft quality.
    It is essential that the rear feed be available for printing photos. The printer will not accept photo paper from the front tray. The greater proportion of my printing is photos or other specialty items all of which use paper that must be fed from the rear feed.
    An acquaintence who considers himself to be somewhat of a Mac expert insists that the printer options that I require are available and all I need to do is look for them. The print dialog should be clear enough that "looking for options" is not a necessity. Even so, I have dilligently searched every variation of the Mac print dialog on my iMac and only the office type applications named above included anything other than the basic printer functions.
    I have also searched numerous locations online without finding a solution. I did, however, find that printing and printing problems seem to be common with several versions of the Mac OS and Mac computers in general.
    I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a solution. I have no desire to upgrade my Windows OS to Windows 8 which is perhaps suitable for "smart" phones but not desktop computers. However, because of the printing issue I have temporarily put my iMac aside and reverted to using my PC with Windows Vista.
