iBooks 1.5 (El Cap 10.11.4) only opens PDF in preview.

In all previous versions of iBooks, it honored the system setting for which application to use to open a PDF file. On my system, this is Adobe Acrobat. iBooks 1.5 does not honor this setting one system always open a PDF file in preview.

Does anyone know how to get iBooks to honor the system setting?

You can try to select a pdf file in the finder. CTRL + click to see the menu and the information on the file. You should see the area of comments 'open with '.  Overview is probably designated as the default application to open this file type. Choose from the menu below what application you want to use to open the file. Once you have selected Adobe Acrobat, click on 'change '. This should then associate all your PDFs with this app.

  • iPad 2 - iBook screen goes black

    I have an iPad 2 and use it a lot for reading books on iBook. iBook started to shut down the first time I open the app, but opens on the second try. Time to time (at least once per session), the screen turns black with white writing or not written at all. When he is not writing, I can not read this page and can find no way to stop the app change the color of the page. Also when I close the application, it does not save the bookmark, or my place in the book. I have to make a note where I am so I can go back to the page. This problem is only in the iBook app. The rest of my apps are great, including the Kindle App would appreciate some advice on what it's getting very annoying.

  • Cannot open author iBooks

    After an action of duplicate author iBooks document I can't open iBooks author more.

    Can someone help me?

    Hello, BaroLoh.

    Looks like author iBooks only opens after you have performed a replication operation. The following article provides some information on how to launch an application on Mac OS X without open windows/documents:

    Automatically re - open windows and applications, as well as documents on your Mac.

    When you open and close an application

    When you open an application, it automatically reopen windows that you used the last time you quit the application. If you do not want apps for re - automatically open documents and windows, select 'Close the windows when you exit an application' (OS X Lion mountains v10.8 and later versions) or deselect the option "restore windows when quitting and reopening of the apps ' (OS X Lion v10.6) in the general pane of System Preferences.

    If an application continues to re - open documents and windows when this feature is disabled, check the preferences of the application for a similar feature. Some applications have their own framework for the restoration of windows.

    To temporarily prevent an application to reopen his documents and windows, hold the SHIFT key while you open the application.

    Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support and let us know if this helps.

    Kind regards.

  • Transfer my iBook in iPhone to my ipad

    I would like to transfer books from iPhone to my iPad... (it would be better without using desktop)

    If they are iBookstore buys so you could, if they are still in the store and you have not reached the country since their purchase, be able to redownload them via the tab purchased in the iBooks on your iPad app.

    If they are PDFs, you may be able to select and send email to yourself through the icon of sharing on them (you might not get the option e-mail on each one) and use "open in" in Mail on your iPad to copy in its iBooks application.

    Otherwise, you will need to copy in your computer's iTunes library (file > devices > transfer purchases; and if using a Mac with iBooks top then file > move the books from iBooks in there) and then sync them with your iPad

  • iBooks opens old version of iBooks file exported from iBooks author

    I use iBooks author to create an iBook for my university course.

    At the moment, I'm just making small changes to a near-perfect (ha!) iBooks author file → export to iBooks → check the iBook looks right.

    The problem: when I open the "new" iBook opens an older version from before the new changes in iBooks author.

    I guess that this window iBooks (which displays "All books" and categories of books) maintains the wrong version. I tried to rename the iBook (my thinking that it would be understandable if iBooks has opened an older version if it had the same name). Nope. I deleted the book from iBooks. Nope.

    The only thing I have found to work is to put the iBook on another machine.

    Any ideas please?

    It would be useful that you said your version of the author of the ib.  It is a common behavior of not doing this and makes it much harder to understand.  but since you are a University Professor, and I happen to be in your class, I'll leave you on the other slide you might miss.  I hope that I've hidden my identity well, but you do not have.

    I have to be a bit of a charlie chan and make some assumptions, but as I reread your post, I think I know what you're saying and what is the problem.

    1. you say that you export to ibooks.  What this does is put the .ibooks file, where you choose and that's probably put on your desk or in one of your folders created.  you say that you check the ibook and it looks right.  It was a key piece of information.  you check this exported version.

    2. then, you say you open new ibook and more talk about ibooks window shows all...  I am restore you have now switched to watch your book in the ibook software library.  context is everything.  you did not go to the book on the Bookshelf.  you left it on your desktop, somehow to say.  to get it in your library, use the preview for mac.  Then you can go to the ibooks software and see the current version.

    There is little reason to do these two steps (perhaps probably a few times in a while).  the best in my opinion to just listen to excerpts from mac and check it out via the ibook software.  If students, including me, will look at the book on their iPad, you get a glimpse to the iPad also once in awhile to make sure everything is working it.  who has not worked for me, but it alternates the ways to re.  Tom g., probably the best ally on this site in my opinion, showed me how to do this several months ago.  Once on a mac, you can sync to iPad.  It's a little complicated, but you can understand, and if not, you can always ask.

    hope that my assumptions of how I read your post is correct and you will give me some consideration in my note to help you.  I know I missed a few classes, but it seems that everyone is getting sick in my extended family, I got a few court appearances due to jumping the turnstile, etc and when I appear and was late, trains don't work that well.  the fact that I had a hot cup of coffee in my hand by way of derogation.  I really have to go this class to keep my scholarship.  thanking you in advance.

  • DELL INSPIRON 2320 - Natural Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 - default value is | Caps lock | WE (turned on) in all fields of password

    Hi y ' All

    DELL INSPIRON 2320 - Natural Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 - default is Caps Lock ON (active) only when the cursor is in a field of password.

    The game of keyboard mouse 7000 is great.

    However, when the cursor is in any field/bos where a password must came me in, CapLock default value (setting) is ON or activated.

    • This only happens only in a field/area requiring a password to enter... but it happens each unique time, any application or what connection Web site password field I can be located anywhere on the Internet.
    • Again, this is only a problem when the cursor is in a password field.
    • This (setting) can be reversed that, when the cursor is in an area of password, default (setting) will be | Caps Lock |  STOP =?

    In the BIOS settings, I only find a selection of NumLock setting.  In Centre of keyboard and Microsoft mouse, the only setting that I can locate offers the choice to enable or disable the use of the Caps Lock key... entirely.  So, when turned on, the default value is lock shift = WE only in a password box.  Know, I is not no accidentally redundant; I repeat this case specific to the question in order to stress that this is the only time only this question.

    Like most people, I have to enter the password often. This problem occurs if the "remember me" or "keep me logged in" is selected.

    It's much more irritating.

    Thank you for your considerations and possible solutions, if any.

    Hello

    To turn off the caps from the BIOS lock, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the BIOS.

    Note: Update of the BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered unusable. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.
