Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro?

Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro? Also, is there any way to print pages from book?

In general if you want to read paid-for ebooks on your Mac, you need to buy them from one of the other sources like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks and use the free OS X and iOS reader apps which they provide instead of iBooks.

    To read a book on your computer, get the Kindle app for PC, and download the book you want from the Kindle Store.

    i was just wondering why can i not read my books on my computer that i just bought online on the itunes store. do i have to download anything speffic?

    ibooks bought from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch - so far Apple haven't made a Mac or PC reader for them, so you won't be able to read them on your Mac.

  • Why can't I read my book in Reader like I bought it?????

    It's been awhile since I used one of my eBooks but every time I double-click it brings me to a web-site to install DE. Even after installing it still takes me to DE. Even when I'm in DE the experience is less than pleasurable. Why can't I read it how I want to? I hate DRM!!!!! Way to kill enthusiasm for eBooks Adobe! Guess I'll have to repurchase a paper version.
    Who programmed this piece of crap anyway? Why can't I simply hold my down arrow to scroll the document like every other application in existence? Why does clicking above or below the thumb in the scrollbar not page up or page down like every other application in existence????? Why do I have to bring up some weird little window to zoom to anything other than a predefined width??? I am completely infuriated that I cannot read my book in the format I purchased it!
    Having it in Reader was so cool. I could double-click on the file and pick up reading where I left off. It almost felt like a book. Now it feels like locked digital content that I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to and that may or may not be there for me when I need it. Way to go idiots!

    With Adobe Acrobat 8.0, Adobe Reader 8.0 and the Digital Editions software, Adobe has really crippled the PDF reader. I supposed, eventually Adobe will address this issue, but here's what you can do now to get the functionality back:
    If you installed or upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 8.0 or Adobe Reader 8.0, uninstall the software and go back to Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0. You can still download this version of Adobe Reader from Adobe's website.
    Uninstall the Digital Editions software completely from your computer.
    Go into Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0 and disable the feature that automatically updates the software (to prevent your software from being upgraded to 8.0 without your knowledge):
    Edit > Preferences > Updates > select the option "Do not automatically check for critical updates"
    Change the file association for PDF files back to Adobe Reader 7.0 (or Adobe Acrobat 7.0): open up File Explorer > select Tools > Folder Options > File Types > find and highlight the PDF file type > select the "Change" button and select Adobe Reader 7.0 or Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
    This won't fix the books you've already opened in the Digital Editions software, but now when you download DRM protected PDF files, you can use them as you are accustomed to.

    This message comes up when i try to open the eksported file. "The document "E-book kopi.ibooks" could not be opened. Archives do not have the correct format. The archive may be corrupted, truncated or has an unexpected format."

    The only people who can read your book in .ibooks format are people with an iPad, and an iPad cannot read a dvd.  So you should probably export it as .pdf.

  • Can't get bookmarks moved. Been through Profiles changes, tried importing. MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7

    Upgrading to Firefox 4 on a new MacBook Pro. Lost bookmarks. Followed instructions in "Solutions." Several times. Then uninstalled everything and reinstalled 4. Created html files from old laptop for both FF and bookmarks. FF 4 goes through the motions of importing the bookmarks but nothing shows up.

  • Why can't I drag a reminder to my schedule in iCal on my macbook pro?

    I used to be able to drag reminders into my schedule in iCal. Now when I do that it doesn't work.
    Is there something I'm missing here - has this capability been taken away?
    Sometimes I can drag a reminder over to the schedule, but it won't sync up across devices. All other syncing is trouble free - ical, contacts, etc.
    Any help would be awesome... Thanks

    Figured it out looking on here.   I had to Force Quit "FINDER" and restart my computer.  Then it worked.

  • Why can't I receive or send email through my Gmail app the past 3 days?

    Usually every morning, I have several emails & I haven't been receiving them for the past 3 days & I tried sending an email & it says that it's off & won't sync. The last time I was able to send an email was Friday September 26.

    Sorry you haven't gotten a response to your question about the Gmail app, but this is the Firefox support forum so we probably cannot help you with that app.

  • HT5953 why will it not open (it referring to the ibooks app on my macbook pro)

    my ibooks app will not open, not even load

    Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
    So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
    Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?
