How can I search sub categories in iBooks?

Okay, after generally loving apple products, this one has me raging mad. When I search iBooks, there is a drop down list of categories and authors.
But sub categories -- as found in any normal bookstore -- are nowhere to be found.
For example, searching "Ferrari" will drop down a variety of books, two of which are in the Transportation category.  But, Transportation is not listed in any of the categories in the basic iBooks menu.
Words such as "history", "science and technology" cover a LOT of ground, and there MUST be better navigation to zero in on topics of interest.
So, how can I find a list of sub-categories so I can spend my iTunes wealth?

Sadly I don't think you can. I have a number of books published in the Games and Card Games category (as identified by BISAC code) but Apple don't have a Games category either. However in the iTunes Store (not iBooks) if I search for 'Games' and then select the 'Books' Media Type filter I can find the books in the results. Perhaps the same ill happen if you try with 'transportation'. Now that books are searchable directly from the iTunes store I find it much easier to search there rather than on my iPad.

    You can search for books in a specific language in the iBooks Store on a Mac. You might like to leave feedback for the iOS app:

    You can also do a search for the language you are searching for ie search for "French".

  • How can i delete some books from ibook?

    How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

    I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.  This seems to be what worked for me.  I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen.  I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time)  Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel".  I chose "delete" and the book was gone.  Hope this helps.

  • How can I adjust text size in ibooks dictionary?

    How can I adjust text size in ibooks dictionary?

    Hello Eoradec2012,
    It sounds like you are using the Define function in iBooks and you are wanting to increase the size of the font on the page showing the definition. The size of that text can be controlled in the Text Size section:
    To adjust the font size, follow these steps:
    Go to Settings > General > Text Size.
    Drag the slider to the preferred size. The text on the screen will adjust as you move the slider.
    iOS: Adjusting the font

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

    I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
    If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
    Many thanks

    No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

  • How can I search for files in System and Library folders

    This arrose when I tried to find Archive Utility.app. Neither a Finder search or Spotlight found it, apparently because it is in Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices and the System folder is not searched. I've had similar problems when trying to find things in Library. How can I search these folders?

    You can enable the Finder to include System files in its search
    In a Finder finder window select Kind then Other… locate System files in the list and click the checkbox.

  • How can I ensure the content in iBooks on my iPad also syncs with my mini iPad?

    How can I ensure my content in iBooks on my iPad 3 syncs with the iBooks in my mini iPad?

    If they are iTunes purchased/downloaded ibooks then as long as they are still in the store you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on the second device. For ebooks and epubs from other sources you will need to sync them - even though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able to copy them from a device to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the other device. You can then keep bookmarks and collections in-line between the two devices via Settings > iBooks on the two devices (the 'sync collections' will keep collections in-line between devices, but it won't copy the copy the actual ibooks between devices).

  • How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?

    How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 library.  Installed on iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Mavericks 10.9.5.

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.
