Why isn't the Textbook App also available for the Mac?

I dont know if this is in the right category but the title says it all

Since there is nothing called "the Textbook App" your question is not exactly clear.  Presumably you mean iBooks?  For unknown reasons, Apple has not made a version of iBooks for OS X since the iOS version was released two years ago.  As a result, to read paid-for ebooks on your Mac, you usually need to get them from another source, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks, and use the ereader apps which they provide.

  • Why isn't newly installed hard drive available for startup?

    Here's what I did:
    1. Backed up Macbook Pro data to external drive. 
    2. Installed new hard drive in Macbook Pro 
    3. Put old drive in hd enclosure
    4. Connected old drive in enclosure to Macbook Pro via USB
    4. Formatted new drive using Disk Utilities from old drive.
    OK, everything seems to be fine and the new drive icon is on the desktop BUT the new drive is NOT available as a startup disc. It works as a regular disc as far as transferring files, but doesn't show up in the "select disc for startup" window. What's wrong? Thanks.
    (I'm using good ol' Snow Leopard.)

    You did something incorrectly:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Why isn't an in-app purchase eligible for a refund

    My son accidentally bought an in-app purchase thinking he was using the coins from the game and it's telling me it's not eligible for a refund. This is in Minion Rush. What's the reason for the refusal?

    you may have not contacted the right department. iTunes Store support almost ALWAYS grants refunds for Accidental in-App purchases.
    Got to Expresslane.apple.com. Choose iTunes > iTunes Store > Purchases & Billing > Unauthorized charges > and enter in the information, and you should be receiving a call from them.
    Let them know the situation, and you should receive a refund with no problem. Hope this helps.
    And it might be a big help to set restrictions on your device as well.
    Hope this helps.!

  • Why isn't the Youtube app on my iPod?

    Why isn't the Youtube app on my iPod?

    I also think that it was a mistake for them to take away the Built in YouTube Application but you could always try to download it from the App Store because their is now an YouTube app i have tried it and it works fine but it is just not the same as the Built in one
    Hope this solves your issue
    Hope they bring back the Built in YouTube App on the next IOS Update.
    Best of Luck

  • HT1338 Why isn't the file size displayed for software updates in the App Store?

    Why isn't the file size displayed for software updates in the App Store?
    My only internet connection is a tether to my iPhone.
    My limited bandwidth forces me to manage my data consumption - I am forced to "google" the file size of the software update so I can decide if I have the headroom in my data plan to take advantage of the update.

    If you click on the name of the Application in your Updates Available list,
    it will take you to the update Imformation for that App.

  • Why is the app not available for my device?

    I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
    Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

    if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
    if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook

  • Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Either they've been moved to another home screen or dropped in a folder, in which case doing a search or resetting the Home Screen layout (Settings/General/Reset) should bring them up, or they've been turned off in General/Restrictions.

  • Why isn't the App Store letting me install and update apps to my iPod Touch 3 Gen.?

    Why isn't the app store letting me update or install Apps?

    Because like a computer, you always need more space that the download size takes up.  One reason is that the app needs to be expanded to be installed.

  • Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?

    Why isn't Logic Pro X content available on flash drive?
    Running Logic Pro version 10.1.1
    Imac 3.1 GHz Intel Core 7
    16 GB RAM
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.5

    If you ask nicely at an Apple Store... and take your Mac with you.... they will download and install LPX for you..... along with all it's content...
    As for why they don't offer it on a flash drive?
    Who knows.....
    It's Apple.... Its the App Store system... Its all about the Apple ID.. it's where things are leading, away from the physical to the non physical medium... and so on..They do things their way.. whether we like it or not... and if you don't like it?
    Then choose a different DAW (or move to a different OS via bootcamp) ..  It's no skin off their nose... so to speak... but it will cost you more...(in most cases a lot more)  for a boxed / non downloadable edition.. For example... Cubase 8 = $550... Live 9 Suite (Boxed) = $800....   Motu DP = $500.. Bitwig = $300... and so on...
    $199 for LPX..and all its content...  It's a steal, box or no box...
    My only issue is.. it would be good to be able to easily download and store a copy of everything myself.. without having to resort to somewhat tricky methods to do so.. so I could easily install everything on a non internet connected Mac...

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can anyone tell me the Map Ipad app is available for imac yet. if so where can i download it or is it already on my mac somewhere?

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me if the Maps App is available for Imac yet and if so how do i find it?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

    Why isn't my contact app showing?

    I'm having the same problem as well - on both the iPhone4 and iPad.  I can see my subscriptions if I sign in via Safari on either of the devices, but if I try to use the built in YouTube app, it says I have no subscriptions.  This started sometime on the 11th for me. I remember watching videos that morning through the app, but they were gone when I tried that afternoon.

    I check for updates to my plugins very often. The Plugin Check page has been saying that all my plugins are up to date. However, twice now I've clicked the button to check anyway, and found that a plugin was not up to date after all. Why isn't the Plugin Check page detecting when my plugins need updating?

    I think that the Spam Detector runs before your custom filters, and custom filters only work on the inbox folder. If Spam Detector moved it from the inbox before the filters were run, then the filter wouldn't delete it.
