Why can't I open books on my laptop

why can't I read books on my laptop?

Apple have not created a Mac or PC program that can be used to read them - currently you need the iBooks app, and therefore an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch

    why can I not open illustrator on my laptop it will not download from creative cloud

    Vanessa,
    You need to have Application manager installed.
    Beyond that, I believe this is one for Customer Care (tick I Still Need Help and hope for an agent available for a chat),

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • HT5557 why can i bye a book from itunes libery but it will not open on this pc

    why can i not open a book that i got from itunes on itunes

    The iBooks sold at the iTunes Store are only for iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones.  They cannot even be read on a Mac, much less a PC!
    If you wish to download books to read on your PC, get the Kindle Reading App for PC, and buy your e-books from the Kindle Store.
    The Kindle books can be used on PC, Mac, Kindle readers, and iOS devices, by use of the corresponding apps. 

  • Why Can't I open spreadsheet on my Mac Book?

    Why Can't I open spreadsheet on my Mac Book Pro? I have gone to the App store to download the most current version of Numbers, but am told it is already installed. The version of Numbers on my computer says it is 2.3 (554).  ( in "about Numbers").  If it is already installed why can't I open a spreadsheet created long ago, but used recently without any problems until today. Very Frustrated.  I have Maverick on my 2012

    Your Mac is too old.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842 .
    Also, a Mac with 2 GB of memory does not run well on Mavericks.

  • Why can't I open I Photo??

    Why can't I open I Photo??

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
    ...Rae

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

    Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
    Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

    Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
    They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
    NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

  • Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

    Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
    I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
    TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • What is a .pkf and why can't I open it?

    Newb here,
    I am working in Audition for the first time (by employer's request).  I was given session files as .pkf files from work but have no idea how to open them at home.
    I have searched through all of the previous forum entries, help folders and google to no avail.  I have a deadline to meet and am getting nowhere closer.
    So in summary,
    What exactly does a .pkf file hold?  Session info? Audio?
    Why can't I open it in Audition if it was created by it?  How do I open it?
    Any info would be very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to read my request!
    (also, let me know if this is the wrong place for this)

    THANK YOU!!!
    You have provided me information that I couldn't find after countless hours of searching everywhere imaginable! 
    I'll go contact my employer right now.  I have all the audio files but no session files (sesx) that would contain all the range markers I need.
    Thanks again!
