How do I edit book description?

Hi,
I uploaded to iBooks but the book description contains html and other formatting characters. How do I edit it to get rid of these?
Thanks.

Don't even get me started. I have been trying to contact Apple iBookstore Support about this issue for more than 6 weeks. I have a developer account, because I also publish Apps to the App Store, and I even wrote to them. Once, in a moment of pure deperation, I wrote to iTunes "Customer" Support! (They at least had the decency to write back and say that this isn't their area of expertise. And yesterday I got a support survey- where at least I could really dig in about being disappointed.
In more than six weeks, and about twenty emails later, I've had only two completely off-target replies from Apple. I have even tried taking my book OFF of the iBookstore entirely and that doesn't work. Obviously, the iBookstore is a nightmare full of bugs, iTunes Producer doesn't work, the user manuals are inaccurate and Apple hasn't bothered to staff the iBookstore with any customer support.

Please help.

You don't say how you are making your podcast feed. I would tend to think from your question that you are not writing the feed yourself, but using either a program or one of the online services to do this. If this is tha case, you will need to look at their instructions: they should give you a place to enter the details.
If you are writing the feed by hand, then this page gives an example of how a feed should look:

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book mo

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book module? I can click into any other text window and edit and change attributes but I am locked out of editing text when it comes to the spine of the book. I spoke to Blurb support and they referred me to Adobe. I spent 45 minutes with support here - no one knew. I am still waiting for a call back with an answer... not holding my breath as it's been a few hours now. HELP!!!

Thanks for your reply John. I have experienced all the fiddly aspects you mentioned - these are attributes and although changing them requires the skill of a surgeon's hand - it's the actual editing of the text I can't seem to access anymore. The box just won't allow me to do anything except change attributes. Does that make sense? And it's only on the spine where I am having this issue. Puzzled! I have even rebooted the program and just now the computer - to no avail.

How do I edite my collection description after it's already exported (in HTML)?

Hello,
I've been using Photoshop and Lightroom for a while not. Both are amazing, and I'm even now using Dreamweaver. Anyway...now, I'll get to my question:
How do I edited my collection description after already having exported my Lightroom Gallery? For one, I noticed a spelling error in the title, and I also want to edit the description a little bit more without having to re-export it from LR again and having to Re-publish all again. (I manage to use the file codes to change a few other things using DW, but for the life in me I cannot figure out how to change the Description).
I guess this is actually a coding question, not a question about LR itself, but I'm hoping some people who've used and tweaked LR galleries will understand my plight and help me. I would appreciate it very much.
Oh, and if it makes any difference, I'm using The Turning Gate free gallery because it's HTML5. I wasn't sure if any of the other LR5 CC ones were HTML5, that's why.

Two options.
Export the gallery again but to your desktop. Find the Index page with the description on it and edit to the way you want. Dreamweaver will work fine but a text editor will suffice. Save the page and upload that page only- replacing the one online.
Discard the exported gallery.
Second option, download the offending page via FTP, edit it and replace on your site.

How do I edit this script (newbie)

Editing a script
I found a script that creates a reminder event based upon the birthdays of my contacts in Address Book. It looks forward one week at a time.
I'm not familiar with creating scripts. How would I edit this to do the following (if possible)
1- I set up a contact list in Address Book for only those people whose birthdays I want to be reminded of. Is it possible to have this script only look through this contact list, not every contact.
2- Can it also be set up to delete the previously set events (so that the only events that appear are the ones for the ensuing week)
3- Can it be set up to remind me of anniversaries also? How would I edit it? (I tried to find and replace the term birthday with anniversary, but all it did was notify me of forthcoming week's birthdays but called them anniversaries)
Thanks!

User set variables
set numberDaysNotice to 1 -- how many days before the birthday to alert you, 0 is that day

Setup

repeat with i from 1 to count of peopleArray
set thisPerson to person i
set thisBirthday to birth date of thisPerson
Check if they've got a birthday entered on their card
if thisBirthday is not equal to (missing value) then
set year of thisBirthday to year of (current date) -- otherwise it uses their birth year
See if it's in the next week
if (thisBirthday is greater than today) and (thisBirthday is less than nextWeek) then
set thisBirthday_day to day of thisBirthday
set thisBirthday_month to month of thisBirthday
Add them to our list
set birthdayPeople to birthdayPeople & name of thisPerson

end if

end tell
If we have birthday's go into iCal and add the alerts
if (count of birthdayPeople) is greater than 0 and ((count of birthdayPeople) is equal to (count of birthdayDates)) then
tell application "iCal"
tell calendar selectedCalender
repeat with i from 1 to count of birthdayPeople

1- I set up a contact list in Address Book for only those people whose birthdays I want to be reminded of. Is it possible to have this script only look through this contact list, not every contact.
Sure - if you created a specific group of the people you want to track then just change the line:
set peopleArray to the name of every person
to:
set peopleArray to the name of every person of group "Birthdays"
(or whatever group name you used). You see, as written your script just grabs everyone's name as opposed to just the names of people in the specific group.
2- Can it also be set up to delete the previously set events (so that the only events that appear are the ones for the ensuing week)
Yes, but that's a little trickier since you need some way to denote which events are birthday events vs. other events from last week. If you're using a specific calendar for this then you could just delete existing events in that calendar, or you could implement a minor change to the way you create events - use the description to identify this is one of your auto-created birthday alarms:
set thisEvent to make new event at end with properties {description:"birthday", summary:(item i of birthdayPeople) & "'s Birthday", location:"", start date:thisDate, end date:thisDate + 15 * minutes}
So now the events will have a specific description, so it's easy to start your new script off with a line that deletes existing 'birthday" events, via:
tell application "iCal"
delete every event of calendar selectedCalendar whose description = "birthday"
end tell
(you can nix the '... whose description = "birthday"' element if you just want to delete all existing events in the calendar).
3- Can it be set up to remind me of anniversaries also? How would I edit it? (I tried to find and replace the term birthday with anniversary, but all it did was notify me of forthcoming week's birthdays but called them anniversaries)
Sure, that's because you specifically ask Address Book for birthdays:
set thisBirthday to birth date of thisPerson
To track anniversaries you need to ask Address Book for different data. This one's a little tricker since anniversaries are tracked via the custom date element, so you'd need something like:
set anniversaryList to {}
tell application "Address Book"
repeat with eachPerson in (get every person) -- add 'of group "anniversaries' if you use a specific group
repeat with eachDate in eachPerson's custom dates
if label of eachDate = "anniversary" then
-- this person has an Anniversary set, so add your code here to check if eachDate is in the next week if it is:
copy eachPerson to end of anniversaryList
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
At the end of this you'll have a list of people whose anniversary is upcoming and you can duplicate your iCal code to add anniversary events in addition to birthdays.

Does anybody have any advice about updating your book description once the book is live?

I made a careless spelling mistake while filling out the metadata for my children’s ebook. Obviously I quickly changed it and resubmitted my “package”. That was four days ago and the spelling mistake is still there in the book description for all the world to see. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to push this through? It really should only be a 30 second fix yet has turned into a complete nightmare. Please help. Thanks.

The description is one of the metadata fields that you cannot update yourself. You need to contact Apple and ask them to make the change for you. Quote the title, Apple ID, and ISBN of the book, and added description of the exact change needed, or complete replacement text for the description.

How can I Edit My Podcast? And why doesn't my new uploads show in iTunes?

My Rss feed is through soundcloud and I uploaded new files and they haven't appeared on my link in iTunes. Also, how can I edit my podcast page?

In fact your files do force a download - paste the URL into Safari's address bar and hit return - they will download rather than play inside the browser as they should. However they do play in the Store, so perhaps they've now instituted a workaround for that.
Your feed is at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:127918759/sounds.rss
There are four episodes, the latest being 25 February; all four appear in the Store and when subscribing.
If you want to amend the contents of the 'Description' column and the text you see when you click the 'i' next to it you need to amend the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags respectively. The overall 'Description' which appears in the Store page above the episodes is carried in the 'itunes:summary' tag in the top section of the feed. If you want to amend these you will need to do so wherever you constructed the feed, presumably in Soundcloud. You cannot do so in iTunes itself, it simply reads what's in the feed.

How do you edit the names that come up when you compose a new message?

i open mail and hit 'new message'.
then i click in the 'To' row and start to type a name.
it autofills names for me as i type, but where does it get the names from? and how can i edit that list ?
- e.g. my wife has changed her e-mail address. i already changed it in my address book. but the old address still appears...?
i've tried scrolling down to it so it goes blue, then hitting the delete key (like on a pc). no joy.
any advice?!
thanks in advance
paul

Hi it's probably appearing from your Previous Recipients List...
In Mail Click on Window... Select and Click on Previous Recipients...
Click on and Delete the Names and Addresses you no longer want...
Cheers,

How do i edit out the dark places in a pdf?

how do i edit out the dark places in a pdf? I xeroxed pages from a book, and the xeroxes were not of great quality--lots of shadows where the book opened on the copier glass.
When I had the xeroxes scanned, the dark places turned deep black and made the xeroxed/ scanned texts almost unreadable.
How can I lighten the images in the PDFs so that the text is readable again?
