Simply put, no.
iOS and MacOS are related, but are *different* operating system.
Mac Apps don't run on iOS, and iOS Apps don't run on Macs.
That said some small number of Apps from one system have been re-written to run on the other, with the same name. But still, they aren't the actual same application.
> If so...would someone please tell me how I get it to open on my laptop?
Not possible.

It will sync what is in your iTunes library to your iDevice. In other words, it will install nothing.
Use Senuti or PhoneView to copy the contents of your iPod to your Mac and then move a copy to your new iTunes library. PhoneView will copy a lot more than just your music.

Yeah, I really wasn't clear enough in my original post. The Media Disk contains my iTunes library and the disk is now irreparable, according to Disk Utility. I don't have that backed up anywhere, but the music on my iPod and iPad is all recently synched.
So, Daly, when I try to open iTunes now, it asks me where the library is. If I create a new library and then try to synch with my iPod or iPad, what will happen? Will the music go into the new library or will the new "empty" library replace everything on the iPad/iPod?
Just seems very risky to me...

OUCH! Disk Warrior is $99.95. If I knew that it would fix the problem, I'd consider spending the money, but...
So, for a moment, let's forget about the bad disk and consider how I can get all of my media from my iPad back into a new and functioning iTunes library. What will happen if I open iTunes, create a new library and then plug in my iPad? Is there a way to bring all that media into the new library? Do I need a third party workaround like Senuti?
Thx, R

Yep, it sounds like you do need one of those programs, unless you have MobileMe and it is still functioning. In that case, you could use Sync in the MobileMe System Pref pane and do the special procedure where you deliberately synch in just one direction. I don't recall the exact commands/path to that function because I'm on iCloud now, and it is disabled in my system.

Yes, you need Senuti or similar.
iTunes/iOS is designed to copy stuff one way only (apart from metadata like
played, number of plays, etc.).
iOS devices don't hold backups of your iTunes library, just "temporary"
copies of part of it (depending on your sync prefs).
Just like any other data, you need proven backups of your iTunes library.

Have you tried KindleForMac or Stanza?

Hmmm? iBooks will read PDFs and ePub books. If they can read it in Preview, the book is probably in PDF format, and not have any special protection.
Could that be the answer?

It works for pdf books so I suppose it's not actually wrong, just
misleading.

It is a over 900 page book manual in the use of the mac OS Lion operating system. Published last year. That system is used on Macs not on iOS mobile devices which I do not have. I have an intel iMac duo core running all the latest programs.

I gather also no iBooks for a Mac. iBooks author I believe is program for assisting in writing a book.

Reading a review of that program the person stated wouldn't it be nice if you could read what you have created with the program - namely iBooks on a Mac.
I suspect my problem is as someone suggested is that the book I downloaded is for a iBooks reader. I don't have a iOS device. I find this very annoying and as I said no more books from iTunes book store. Later I bought a hard copy of similar book.

That's what it is, all right.
I don't know if this is a fair test, though, but I created a quick book in iBooks Author, saved it as an .iba file. Then I opened that file with iBooks Author, and it opened right up, and I could navigate through it using the arrow keys. I could set and use bookmarks in the book.
I wish I had someone else's iBook to test with, but it looks to me like a workable iBooks book reader.

Re: need power in Europe

It also could be that the US/Europe adapter is not seated well in the receptacle and there is enough play that it sometimes connects and sometimes doesn't. I've seen this. It could have something to do with the weight of the power cord on the adapter and the plug.
I use a North American plug with an adapter here in Greece. I always plug in the wall first and then connect the mag/safe.
