FYR The OS X Book from Ibook is the one i ordered .. would love to rid the desktop files in I books assthey have no place but to be on desktop only Thanks
What happens when you try to delete all that?
haven't done it yet as there are at least 300 files that i would need to remove from the I books store . I am concerned if i tried deleting them they would disappear from desktop as well . so am not comfortable with not umderstanding why it happened in the first place 🙂 .. and this is a major bug and big headache
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit iBooks if it's running. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved. Quit iBooks again before going on to the next step.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following item, if it exists, to the Trash:
Cookies/com.apple.ibooks.cookies
Step 2
Delete this item in the same way:
Preferences/com.apple.ibooks.plist
Step 3
Delete this item:
Containers/com.apple.iBooksX
and move this one to the Desktop:
Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService
Restart the computer. To log out and log back in is not enough—you must restart.
When you launch iBooks, you'll be prompted to reset the library. Confirm. The library will be empty. Rebuild it by downloading your purchases from the iBooks Store and importing any other content you added. You may find the added content in the folder named "com.apple.BKAgentService" that you moved to the Desktop.
thanks ill try your approach this evening . Q to confirm what i have read >when i do one step then i open Ibooks store to see if its resolved. then if not go to next step to delete? using option key? My guess one of these files in Library got corrupted , right ?.
Right.
everything you told me to do to rid ibooks of files from Desktop worked! i rebuilt downloading my purchase and restarting . now what id need to know if the 3 files i moved from Library that are in Trash as well as the file> containers ./com. apple.BKAGent service laying on desktop be emptied in trash without any problem? they are still laying there.
Thank you very very much i went ahead and emptied trash along with com. apple.BKAGent service File . I book is all what it should be doing . Thank you again
why is I Books store showing all files From Desktop ?
