Why can't I open my ibooks on my macbook?

I bougt a bunch of books on the app store on my macbook. I can't open them, no matter how many times i click on them! I don't have any Apple handheld products like the ipod or ipad. how can i open the books?

Reworded for Macbook, iTunes, and iPad feature enhancement/software and hardware compatibility feedback and submitted this to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback  I did not see iBooks listed as an Apple iOS app for direct feedback.
In addition to backing up and syncing through iTunes, please provide the ability to seamlessly open and read iBooks (a.k.a. Apple iBook Textbooks and interactive ebooks and other epub/pdf content saved in iBooks) and content purchased through the iBookstore on MacOS computers, not just iOS devices.  While the new MacbookPro with retina display and other systems are essential for various computing tasks, referencing and reading books without shifting to another device is a major purchasing and productivity factor. I can currently do this with Amazon, Google, VitalSource, and Nook books.  The ability to seamlessly move between reading books on an iOS device, MacOS computer, or within a Web browser and have integrated highlighting, notes, social sharing and other features sync between all three is highly desirable.  Without this option, I will generally need to purchase books and other content from these sources or directly from the publishers, but not Apple.  I would like to be able to keep all of my books and book like documents in organized within a single reader similar to my music and videos.
Thank You.

  • Why can't I open a PDF that I emailed to my self

    Why can't I open a PDF that I emailed to my self

    OK. You mean that it has fillable form fields. Those will not open in the mail app or in iBooks.
    Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. It is free. Then go back to the mail app, tap on the PDF file to get the Open In window to pop up. When the Open In window pops up, select Adobe Reader. The PDF will open in Adobe Reader and be saved in there. You should be able to fill out the fields in the Adobe Reader app and then you can email it from there if needed.

  • 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.

    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!

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!

  • Why can't I open pdf files allthough having adobe reader 9 preinstalled on my new windows 7 laptop?

    Hi!
    I think my question might be simple to answer, so please if you read this give it a try...
    I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it. Adobe Reader 9 was allready installed. I wanted to open simple pdf files, but I got the message "Adobe Reader ?" in an empty field that pops up.
    Why can't I open pdf files? Do I also need to install the Adobe Flash Player as well?
    I would be very glad if you could give me a hint.
    Thanx 

    It appears as if Adobe Reader is not correctly installed.  Try installing the latest version 9.2 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - make sure that you uncheck any unwanted software bundled with the download.
    P.S.  no, you don't need Flash Player to open PDF files.

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

  • Why can't I open my project in Prem. Elements 10?

    Why can't I open any project in Prem. Elements 10? Message says Windows must close the program because of "a problem," and will notify if a solution can be identified.  I reinstalled the Premiere Elements 10 portion of the (bundled) program but never installed Photoshop Elements 10, and am currently continuing to run PS Elements 8. This has worked in the past, so I don't understand what the problem is. I am running Windows 7, 64-bit. Thanks!

    loloboz
    Am I correct in reading that you have never been able to open your Premiere Elements 10 running on Windows 7 64 bit? If so, we can rule out problems with the source media and damaged projects and concentrate on the installation and system requirements.
    You write that you have attempted uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 10. Is that correct?.
    Adobe also has a Tech Note  directed at troubleshooting Premiere Elements installation issues, including how to install if your installation disc might be damaged.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-problems-pepe-winxp .html
    It would be interesting to see how Photoshop Elements 10 installs from this same installation disc on this same Windows 7 64 bit.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Why can't i open my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 RAW files in CS3?

    why can't i open my RAW files?
    I have photoshop CS3 with camera raw plug-in 4.6.0.30 on MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and a Panasonic Lumix FZ45
    I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
    I have no available updates in photoshop so assume that I am up to date with those.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks

    I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
    Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
    Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3
