Using iBook as TV for PS2

Hi
I'm trying to get my PS2 to play on my laptop. I have my PS2 connected to a VCR and the VCR connected to a analog converter which goes into my laptop. I keep trying to view it in iMovie and nothing is happening. I know that the PS2 puts out 480 interlaced video. Is there any free programs that can fix this problem or can someone help me figure this out.
Thanks

I don't think that there is any way that you can directly use your iBook screen as a screen for your PS2. If you have a video camera that can connect to iMovie, then you might be able to connect through that by hooking the PS2 to your camera so that you can see it on the LCD, then connecting the camera to iMovie using a 4-6 pin firewire cable.

How do i use ibooks for saving my lecture notes / power point slides please?

Hi, how do I use ibooks for savng / storing my lecture notes on please? (on either a iphone or ipad). Also, can I save powerpoint slides to it too? thanks.

iBooks can only read two formats -- .epub and pdf. So you have to convert your lecture notes or powerpoints to one of those. To do that, check the Save, Export, or Share functions of whatever app you are using to create your notes.

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

What to look for in a used iBook G3?

Hi, I'm in the process of looking at a used iBook G3 with 640 MB SDRAM and 40 GB HD. Anything I should look for that could make or break a deal?
(I'm new to Apple and have never owned or used one)!
thanks in advance

I believe that only the 900 MHz G3 iBook came with a 40 GB hard drive standard.

Don't pay much attention to the price listed there. It's usually too high. A better check on price is eBay's list of Completed listings. (You will have to sign in to eBay to see the search results.)
If you are looking at that model, a Combo drive (so you can burn CD's) will be standard. It's a nice feature.
If you want to have wireless internet access, make sure that it already has the AirPort card installed because the original AirPort card that any G3 iBook requires is becoming scarce and expensive since Apple stopped selling them a couple of years ago. Plan on spending $130 (or more) for a used AirPort card if it doesn't have one.
Good luck. If you get one, you're gonna love it.

Using Pages to create iBooks or magazine for newsstand...

Has anyone used Pages to create for iBooks or created a magazine for the newsstand?
I realize there is iBooks Author, but it seems restrictive in that it's only sold in iBookstore. I'm not specifically interested in creating publications that must be sold, but I'm curious if people are using Pages to create this kind of content. If not, what are you using to create iBooks?

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

Is there a separate discussion thread for educators using ibook?

Many of us in higher education are trying to use ibooks as text or as lab manuals. Are there discussion threads for the particular ibook issues teachers/instructors/professors might come across? Thank you.

No, unless you are into the production of ebooks, then there are forums at

Have a used iBook G4 and want to run ROBLOX for my grandson. Help

I purchased a used iBook G4 for my grandson for Christmas and he loves to play ROBLOX. Since it included Microsoft Office 08, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Apple ilife (iMovie HD, iPhoto, Garageband, iDVD), I thought it would be fine.
Now I find out that I need instructions on how to upgrade the mac osx 10.4.1 to the current os for mac ibook. Or we need at least version 10.6.6 in order to run roblox on the ibook. I downloaded version 10.4.2 update to try the long route of updating per update which is probably the way we have to go but not sure and it said that it was unable to run based on the current volume? Maybe not enough space to install? Any thoughts? Please help me figure out my options here.

You can only use it through the website; an iBook G4 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.

Are you guys going to primarily be using iBooks for epurchases?

I love the iBook store because it's so elegant to use and vastly prefer it to the Kindle app. The integrated dictionary and "pages to next chapter" are the killer features for me. But the Kindle so far has the wider selection and cheaper prices for ebooks. They also have a web broswer unlike the iBooks store. There's this one book I'm thinking about pre-ordering http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-ebook/dp/B003JTHXN6)and I'm not even sure if it's gonna come out to the iBook store soon enough (or even at all) :-/ What do you guys think about iBooks compared to the other ebook alternatives?

At this point I prefer to read in iBooks and have purchased a few books from there and also loaded epub books I already had.
But as you have noticed, their current selection is weaker - primarily with regards to older titles and Random House (who did wish to sign up with the "Agency Model" that Mr. Jobs insisted on). Then again Amazon has still not settled their "differences" with Penguin, and those books are on the iBookstore.
And B&N is AWFULLY SLOW in releasing their iPad app (can't stand the pixelated text of the iPhone app when used on the iPad).
But the differences between the three apps - at least when B&N gets off their butts - would for me make iBooks a preference. (I also like the two page view when holding the iPad horizontally, something the Kindle uses have been asking for also.) But if I want a book and it is available in one of the other stores and not in iBooks, well.....

Can i use a Usb wireless for my ibook?

Can i use a Usb wireless for my ibook?

Hi, Kimberly. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you mean a USB wireless dongle, the answer is yes (as long as it is Mac-compatible).

HT201209 Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?

Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks? How?

Yes, I've used them to buy from the ibookstore, app store, iTunes and the Mac App Store. They can be used in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (or via your computer's iTunes) in the same way as you use your account's balance to buy music or apps - so you first need to redeem a gift card so that it gets added to your account, and you can then buy things from the stores with it.

Can I Buy Applecare for Used iBook?

I am thinking of buying a used iBook that was first released about 6 months ago. Does anyone know if I can purchase Applecare for this iBook, that I am not the original owner of? Thanks for any insight.

I would of assumed so, but I have a nagging doubt that someone posted (ages ago) that this was not possible.
I would suggest that you contact Apple directly so that you will know for sure.
You can search for the terms and conditions of AppleCare, it talks about Transferring the plan. Being from Sydney I've linked to the Asia Pacific version (this maybe useless for you though - not sure where you're from).

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

How does one get to use their apple id for the first time?

I registered for an Apple ID, which was successsful, but i can't seem to use it, because everytime i try to use it on iTunes it says I have never used this account before, and directs me to the review option which i select but it does the same thing all over again and I can't upgrade to the latest version, because System Preference is failing to open when I try to open the **** thing

Hi RegoAntony,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If you are trying to use your Apple ID for the first time in the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:

I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4. What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new. We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

To good citizens of the MAC world,
I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam. A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam. Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-) I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password. I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side. Please help. I have the original OS disk. Thank you so much.

There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:

Good luck with it.
