How can I find out more about books in the iBooks store?

I've got iBooks for my iPod Touch and it works well. However when I search for stuff in the iBook Store, there is very little information apart from the title and author of a work. For example if it's a translation of a well-known book (think Tolstoy, Homer, Dumas), then probably there will be several different translations available, but iBooks store doesn't tell me which one it is offering; indeed sometimes more than one version is offered with no info about the difference between the versions. Is there any way of searching for more info on books in the store? After all, someone must have compiled the list.

I always do the tapping, and this never tells me the kind of thing I was querying. However I have to admit the samples (which I haven't often used) do often seem to do the trick - I just sampled a few books, and since they all had title pages included in the sample, I got what I wanted from there. What they reveal about classics like Anna Karenina or The Odyssey is that the translations are often very old (frequently 19th Century) and therefore in the public domain. Nice because free, but I would not normally want to go back that far, so I guess iBooks is not the place to look for modern editions of classics?
Anyway to be fair you have answered my question - but I would love iBooks to give access to better review material (not just user reviews that may or may not exist, but something more like Amazon's system): and really I would like them to have a lot more books from different periods (again like Amazon, or a really good bookshop). But I guess I'm not exactly iBooks' target audience.

HT5071 when a user buys my ibook in iTunes store, how can I find out more about the user, state purchased in, email it downloaded to, etc ?

when a purchaser reads my email message in mailchimp, I am provided with the user details, email address used, state located in, etc.....why can't I get the same information from Apple iTunes when a purchaser downloads a paid copy of my iBook from the Itunes bookstore.????? in order to complete the download of a purchased iBook, that information is gathered by Apple, but is not provided to the iBook author.....any solutions out there...

All Apple will give you are sales counts and other such general information. Personal information about individual purchases will not be available to you.

How can I find out what is running in the background

Hi simpbarby,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The links below will help you understand what apps are running on your iPhone. You can quit the ones that you aren't using.
iOS: Understanding multitasking
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
This link will provides tips to conserving battery life:
Apple - Batteries - iPhone
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
Optimize Your Settings
Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
Change Alert Style to None.
Turn Badge App Icon off.
Turn Sounds off.
Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
Viewing Usage StatisticsKnowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Where can I find out more about the little color window that pops up?

Where can I find out about that color window that pops up when you want to change colors.
One of my questions is about the saved color squares at the bottom of the little color window. How do you delete those and where are they stored?
Thanks

It's the OS X color picker, and it's available in just about all FCS applications - nice because you can store colors once and they are there for all apps. You can't delete a color - just drag white onto it to get rid of it. Oh, and have you dragged down to reveal the large drawer for storing a boatload of colors?

How do you find out more about an App (needs login?, wi-fi?)

Sometimes I purchase an app then find out that I can't use it without creating an account or that it needs an internet connection. Is there any way of knowing ahead of time which apps need what? I thought that, that would be a standard, but it isn't.

The need for an account (for a particular App) or the need for a particular App to connect to the internet is dependent upon the App itself and the person who wrote it. Each App is written by "a bloke (or girl) in his or her bedroom", or an independent company, not by Apple.
To determine whether an App requires either of these things, you need to research the App a bit more. In the App Store, each App should have a description (and you may need to click ther more button to see all of it) and also should have a "Support page" link. The support page should take you to the App developer's website, where I would hope to see all the information I need. But it isn't always like that.
So it's down to you to understand what the App will do, what it needs in order for you to get the best from it and to do your own research to find all that out. There have been Apps I haven't bought because I haven't been able to get enough information about it. That's life, unfortunately.

How can I find out my data usage for the past 3 months?

Greetings all, I have been a long time Verizon customer, and as such I, along with my husband, was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. When I last spoke to a representative, they informed me that the only way we were going to be able to keep our unlimited data was by paying the full retail price ($600+) to get a new phone. So we were considering upgrading and changing to one of the newer data plans so we could still get the discounted price on the new phone, but I would like to make sure I choose one with enough data, without paying for a bunch of data that I don't use, however MyVerizon only shows me the amount I have used since the start of the billing cycle. Is there a way to find out the data usage for both my husband and myself for the last 3 months so I can choose the right option?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello sweetpea1221! How exciting that you're considering upgrading with us. mrhelper is helpful, indeed. You can view your data usage for each line under the View Bill option via your My Verizon account. You can also view your 3 month average data usage with our Account Analysis feature. Here's a link that will be helpful in doing so http://bit.ly/vnLjqO. I'm confident that we have a great plan to match your data needs. Please let us know if you have further questions.

How can I find out what's running in the background?

Hi All -
This has been happening for quite some time and I just can't seem to figure it out.
It seems as though my machine is constantly processing something. I can hear it "chugging away". Even when no applications are running. So far I have tried the following:
Deleting all applications I no longer use (including all of their hidden files)
Turned off applications such as Google Drive and Drop Box (in case it was the continual syncing)
Checked the Activity Monitor and Installed something called iStat Pro - neither of which I understand how to read.
Can anyone give me any more suggestions? My next step would be to reformat, but we all know how cumbersome and time-consuming that can be! Perhaps I just need more memory or storage.
Thanks so much in advance

Did you uninstall CleanMyMac according to the developer's instructions: How to Uninstall CleanMyMac Classic ... - MacPaw
To verify that you've eliminated all of the files associated with CYM download and run Find Any File to search for any files with "the application's' name" and the "developer's name" in the file name. For example for CleanMyMac you'd do two searches:
1 - Name contains "cleanmymac"
2 - Name contains "macpaw"
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop for deletion.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.

How can I find out what account purchased apps from app store?

Went to app store to get updates to the preinstalled iLife suite. All but iPhoto recieved it updates. iPhoto complained that it was purchased with another account?

generic response I think.
No HD change at all.
Got passed it. Mac Mini had two account an admin (my appleID) and a general user (my wifes appleID). Initial configuration was done under the admin. This update was iniciated from the general user. When the updated was started, the general user ID was used and the update started. When it got to iPhoto it repromted for appleID.
I don't recall if it prompted with the ID needed. I had logged in as the admin and ran update and got passed it so I cannot test the response again.
Funny that the other iLife products updated fine.
Thanks for the response.

The times reported for data usage on your bill do not necessarily reflect the time the data was actually used. The system gathers information from the cell sites and reports on a schedule.

My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?

My Library has ten more songs than my iPod. How can I find out which songs are not syncing?
I recently had to purchase a new hard drive. Because the size of my music collection exceeds 140 GB, I stored all of my music on a separate external hard drive. When I exported everything back into my new iTunes library, I found that I had about 200 more songs than I had in the previous library. After deleting most of those extraneous songs, I was able to get my library close to where it was before. However, after syncing to my iPod Classic, I noticed that only 34,853 of the 34,863 loaded. How can I figure out which of those ten songs in my library did not sync to my iPod?
Yellow12

It may be that the 10 songs are unchecked. To find them select songs view.
If there is a column Heading marked with a tick then click on it to sort by this column.
If the Column is not there then View > View Options and select the Checked column which will then display
Check the songs by putting ticks in the empty boxes and resynch. Now those tracks should go over as well
