Deletion Error in iBooks for Mavericks

I have a couple of books I would like to delete from iBooks on my MBP. I have tried right clicking to bring up the contextual menu to delete them, and tried deleting them from the main menu commmand. Neither works. When I sync to my iPad and phone, I am given the error that those books cannot be synced because they cannot be found, so iBooks has deleted them, but they still remain in the list. I've dumped the cache and also rebuilt the plist, but the remain in the list.

I found you actually still can sync PDF's from iTunes to your iPhone and iPad, and iBooks, simpy by adding them to the iTunes library.  So the only issue now is how to sync iBooks on my iMac with iBooks on my Macbook.
Thank goodness, I thought that ability was lost with the introduction of iBooks on the Mac!

  • Full text search across books in iBooks for Mavericks

    Is there a way to do full text search of all documents under iBooks for Mavericks?
    I have quite a few books in categories and collections that are not mutually exclusive. It is becoming quite tedious to find the book I need when I need it. I have tried search in iBooks but it only seems to hit titles, maybe some keywords, and perhaps other fields, but not the full text of the documents.
    I cannot find any way in Spotlight preferences or in iBook preferences to specify that the body of documents under iBooks should be indexed/searched.
    Best regards,
    Tom

    Just to register that I have fixed the problem.
    I tried reinstalling RH, but that didn't work. I was about to
    give up when I noticed that an error was coming up when I compiled
    the project: the infamous "HHC6003: The file itircl.dll has not
    been registered correctly". I found out that you only fix that
    problem by registering another dll: itcc.dll
    Once you fix this, the compilation is perfect and the
    full-text Search works properly again.
    Thanks anyway for the interest.

  • How do I rename the PDF (both Title & Author) in new ibooks for Mavericks?

    Hi!
    I can't seem to amend both Title and Author for my PDFs in the new ibooks App in Mavericks.
    (Opening it in Preview and renaming it does not change the Author name FYI)
    The current solutions present are for 2013 and there is none for the new app in Mavericks.
    My obsessiveness does not allow me to list my books in such haphard fashion.
    Any kind souls able to help?
    Thank you!

    LOL!  As you've explained it, the reason this community is called iBook for Macs is because you can easily change PDF titles on a Mac…  
    I know that people like to be gatekeepers--and I know that people can post in the wrong places--but that's not what happened here.  I was correcting the previous comment about iBooks on the iPads!  (See earlier post above.)
    "iBooks.app  on iPads or Maversick is a "viewing" app ie it allows you to open books etc,. on the device its  used on.  Its "read only" in computing terms.. you cannot change anything."
    I wanted to do it by not directly pointing out the person's error, but you've forced my hand! 
    By the way, I ended up at this thread inadvertently while looking for how to change book titles in iBooks under iOS.  So, in case anyone else ends up here looking for how to change PDF titles on their iPads, they'll know it can be done and how!
    Happy Labor Day, everyone!

  • IPad won't open iBooks - error message that book isn't formatted correctly, iPad is fully updated and I've tried deleting and reloading iBooks - only thing that has happened between when it used to work and now doesn't is that I took the iPad to singapore

    iPad used to open iBooks purchased off iTunes no problems but since I took my iPad overseas on holiday it no longer opens iBooks - they appear to download ok but when I tap to open the book I get an error message saying the book isn't formatted correctly or is in a format that iBooks doesn't recognise. I have tried
    - deleting and reloading iBooks
    - making all updates have been done
    - turning on and off airplane mode
    And still have the problems
    Did ask iTunes help but so far no joy - appreciate help please

    Ok, I got the 1.3/1.4 thing straight now. There was a java.exe in System32 that I now see the PATH was calling first.
    And in the TextPad version of the problem, I was curious -- I don't remember setting the specification of the executable called by the Run Tool button, but I must have at some point. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it created a default button that apparently points to what it's supposed to point to, since it now works and runs my program OK.
    Still, I wonder how it can be that explicitly directing the button to C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\java.exe makes TextPad's Command Results Window say "NoClassDefFoundError"
    I'm up and working now, but if anyone has a clue I can learn from on the TextPad issue, thanks

  • IBooks for IPad 2 Unknown  error has occurred when I try to download ?

    iBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?
    Every time I try to download iBooks from AppStore it give me a unknown Error when it starts to load.  Has any one else ever had this problem and any way to fix this.
    Thanks

    Fixed!!--Same error issue, but I hadn't downloaded any apps that required syncing. New iPad2 this Wednesday (6/15/11). Per other suggestions on this forum I tried hooking up to the laptop (already had latest iTunes loaded before my iPad2 came), iTunes started up, went to Apple iStore, login, confirm payment, try to download 'iBooks' it says I already have it. Look at the iPad and it's there.
    This fix took all of 3-minutes and all is good. Now to learn to move things around. Newbie here  Thanks to the forum for tips on things to try. I need to go back through documentation to see why I had such a problem. Not exactly plug-n-play, but then again, I fighting the urge to 'right-click'.   Love the iPad2 so far. My first Apple-anything.

  • Download error for mavericks

    My download for mavericks stops at 995.5 mb. Please provide some solution.

    Hi anujsehgal,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your OS X Mavericks download did not complete, first see if you can resume the download using the steps below:
    If downloading an app is interrupted
    Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
    See Troubleshooting the Mac App Store for more information. 
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • IBooks for OS X unable to sync PDF - one fix

    Sharing this one for others to use as needed.
    iTunes produced a misleading error message and failed to sync a PDF from iBooks.app on my iPhone with iBooks for OS X. I think one problem is that iBooks 1.0 was insisting on using my iCloud Apple ID rather than my Store Apple ID.
    I was able to get sync to work, though along the way iTunes deleted the file I was aiming at (sweet - good thing I had a replacement).
    Key to working was signing out of the iCloud Apple ID and running move books again, then repeating sync.
    More details:  http://tech.kateva.org/2014/03/mavericks-ibooks-apple-id-and-sync.html

    It is true that all purchases should share a single Apple ID. It is also true that both iOS and OS X allow only one iCloud account per user. And it is true than every Apple ID has an iCloud account, and every iCloud account an Apple ID [1]. Most unfortunately, it is also true that many (most?) Apple customers have multiple Apple IDs (even if they don't know it - I have 4 [2]).
    So far, so simple. Here is the catch. On both iOS and OS X the Apple ID for purchases need not match the Apple ID for account-specific iCloud services. Life is much nicer if they do match, but they don't have to. Part of the bug I ran into was related to a configuration error, probably arising during Mavericks install over Mountain Lion, that gave iBooks my user account's iCloud services Apple ID rather than the iOS/iTunes store Apple ID.
    Apple's identity management is a mess of almost unfathomable proportion -- the sort of mess that every smart exec runs from. I'm certain it's gummed up by contracts with rights holders, disparate internal systems, unfortunate choices and a nest of secondary assumptions. It would take a will of iron and a lot of cleverness to solve. I'm curious whether Tim Cook will force the fix.
    [1] Curiously, however, an iCloud account does not need to have an email address, and the iCloud account email address need not match the associated Apple ID. This is yet another unfortunate edge case of the Apple ID mess.

  • Can I organize my books on iBooks for Yosemite?

    Hi,
    I want to know how to organize my books on iBooks for Yosemite editing the details of each book.
    I wantt to edit some features like name of the books, genre, collections and other things. In Mountain Lion this was possible but in Mavericks or Yosemite I can't do this anymore.
    Someone can help me?
    Thanks and forgive my poor english
    Fabrício Camisão - Brazil

    When you see the book, does it indicate you have already purchased it? If not, then yes, it is a different edition and you would need to repurchase to get that cover (not sure why you would want to do that, but ok).
    If it indicates you already own it, you could try deleting it from iBooks and redownloading, I suppose.

  • Q: If you never initiate iBooks for Mac conversion...

    can you keep using (latest) iTunes under Mavericks to manage your ebook/pdf collections?
    Reason I am asking is that I have also experienced the problems with new, standalone iBooks described here and elesewhere. I have since reverted back to Mountain Lion, but eventually I would like to use Mavericks until Apple fixes the iBooks for Mac. Never initiating iBooks conversion seems like the cleanest solution (if it works).
    Thanks!

    Like you, I reverted back to Mountain Lion until a workaround was found.  It sounds like someone has done it now:
    Re: Not impressed! No edit info, no library management!
    I think this might work, but I'd be interested in hearing whether the simple step of stopping and deleting the bookstoreagent will work as a preventative measure.
    Anyone willing to give it a try and share their experiences here?

  • Posting period issue while deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO

    Hi ..
    I am facing an issue whiel deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO.
    Confirmation was posted for a limit PO in SRM and it created a service entry sheet in SAP. If I deleted that confirmation in the same posting period, then it is getting deleted. No issue here.
    But if I deleted that confirmation in the next posting period then the reversal document is going to error in process. RZ20 is showing the error "Positng only possible in periods 2012/2 and 2012/3".
    Posting date of reversal document is current date only and the backend posting period is 2012/3, but still it is failing with this posting period error.
    If I tried to delete a confirmation posted for a normal PO then I could able to delete it even in next posting period by just changing the posting date.
    Why this posting occurs while deleting the limit confirmation, even through the posting date is falls within the backenn posting periiod? Is it like, SAP system is trying to delete the service entry sheet in original posting period? Kindly help.
    I am in SRM 5.0 (server 5.5) SP12.
    Thanks,
    Arun

    OK.
    Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
    I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
       -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
    If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
       -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
    If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
       -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
    If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
    Good luck!

    P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?
