Re: I think my Mac is broken
Do a command R when powering up and it will boot in the recovery partition. Then you can use disc utility to scan your HD. You'll need to turn on VO manually. Don't think it will start automatically.

Re: iBooks
Hi Anne Perfect, thanks ever so and my apologies for the repeated question. I did check the archives, (both our own and the public archives_ but I couldn’t find the thread to which you so very thoroughly responded. So again, many thanks. This, if I can find a way to do it, could save me hours of work. To explain. The book I need access too in text is part of a project I’m working on for my employer. Since they have a paperback version of this book published under license to them for use as they require it, I figured it wouldn’t cause any problems regarding copying the book. I’ve actually started a dialogue with the author herself and she told me she would have no problem with this. I am transcribing the book for the children at work. As you know, I think, I work in the education sector here in the UK. Again, thanks very much.

Re: iBooks
Hi Travis This is most interesting and enlightening. I shall have to do some digging in our resources at work and have a word with the uni software development team at TeesSide University. They may be able to help us out. Not that I want to do anything illegal, of course. But they may be able to help me fine a way to make use of unencrypted documents. Kindest regards Gordon On 17 Aug 2014, at 03:20, Travis Siegel tsie...@softcon.com wrote: Anne (as always) offers excellent points on the ibook files. However, I have found that it's possible to simply use the unzip program (in terminal) to uncompress the ibook files. They are indeed simply epub books, but as with any other epub formatted ebooks, if they are encrypted, (and many of the ibooks are) you will not be able to make any sense out of them even after unzipping them, because their content will be encrypted by a method that is both complex and (slightly) nonstandard. (at least based on some poking around I've done). There is an iso standards document for epub formats, and it allows for encryption of content. I have been unable to reconcile the apple ibooks with said iso documents, though it's possible my understanding of the encryption/decryption method is incomplete, as that part of the document wasn't the easiest to follow. Most epub readers use prewritten libraries released by different manufacturers to do all the heavy lifting, and don't really wri te their own routines for this. My attempts to do so meat with very little success, and since it was more of a curiosity thing for me than anything else, I gave up on it and moved on to other more interesting reading. :) But, then again, I've rarely had much luck trying to write code to do things based on iso documentation, though I do have to say, the rfc documents are much better in this regard, I've had no trouble in many cases turning internet protocol documents into operational code. But anyway, I just wanted to let folks know they can unzip ibooks, and examine their contents, just don't expect to get usable results most of the time. :) hth. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: App question
Hi Kristine Could you not use a simple AppleScript to do this for you? I would imagine that you can simply add the could just embed the commands into the script and run it, simple as that. If you wanted to really develop this I’m pretty sure you could develop or have developed for you a more advanced series of scripts to do selective listing. Failing that, I’m sure that somebody on list would be able to produce that for you without to much inconvenience. If I understand your meaning correctly, all you’re asking for is a simple list of files and folders either nested or otherwise, maybe listing every file in a selected folder. Is that correct?
