How do i edit the info of any book in ibook

previusly it was easy to edit onfo of any book using itune but now with mavericks books are stored in ibook and there is no option for editing info of any book

@bookarts
exactly the same for me. This is the worst ever released application from Apple IMHO.
All my well kept and organised books and pdf's are now in disorder. Lost their category settings, their author settings and on top of all can't be edited in iBooks anymore and any further. No chance to edit wrong typings and to fill missing information (eg. authors, categories, ...).
I used to organise my papers (mostly PDF's) in iTunes like a document manager, the way I needed them on my various iOS devices and used them for work. I had groupings for my books like computing - networks, computing - guides, computing - iOS, computing - scripting, etc. .... now all is gone and lost. How am I supposed to organise over 1300 papers without any editing possibility (only sections can be assigned, no categories can be, neither can any information be edited/changed/corrected?
And on top of that all: HOW DO I BACKUP / RESTORE MY BOOKS from now on?
The books and PDF's are moved from the iTunes Library, where they were accessible and editable and where I could backup my whole media library on external NAS and storage. How will I get back my books/PDFs in the future if I setup my Mac Pro again from scratch or in case of a disaster (eg. failing disk)? Am I forced to use TimeMachine here?
There is no way to define by myselfs the place where the iBooks are stored on my system. No, they are all moved to some well hidden place into the users-library filling up my (until iBooks/Mavericks) system only SSD hard drive with hidden books. Is this the new strategy of Apple to try to make me under-age?
No editing, very limited organizing, no possibilty to define it's own storage-location, no backup/restore (no export/archive like in most other application like calender, addressbook, mail, etc. ....) what the **** is that?
I like most of Mavericks new additions but this here with iBooks is a mess and complete drawback for a user that liked to read his books on his iOS devices and was well organized.
And to be honest, I seriously consider to migrate back to OS X Mountain Lion just because of this ridiculous implementation of iBooks!

  • HT5557 How do I view the cover of a book in iBooks up close?

    I made an eYearbook. When I open it in iBooks it looks great but it does not allow me to view the cover of the book like it does the other pages. How do I do that? (We have a really cool yearbook cover and kids want to see it on thier device). I can always edit with book creator but that is not preferable.

    For some reason Apple have always inserted a blank page to the left of the cover page (on portrait books). It's not great but you can zoom in by pinching. And the latest version of iBooks (3.2) recently updated for iOS 7, has been designed to remove the border and view the pages in the whole of the screen.
    Or if you've got a Mac, iBooks is now available in OSX Mavericks so you could view the book there.

  • How do I set the margins for a book in ibook author

    I am fairly new to Ibooks author and am having trouble figuring out how to set my margins to follow throughout the book.  I am making the book in landscape mode and want the hardcopy version to be 11 x 8.5.  I need the left margin to be set at 2.5 and no matter what I have done it skews the following pages.  I will publish this online but since this is going to be a family history book, I am going to have to export it eventually to PDF and send it to a printer.  Does anyone know how to change these settings?

    Thank you.  I just like the possibilities associated with Ibooks author.  But I will do that and maybe later transfer that data to Ibooks.
    Thanks again.

  • 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 to find out the info regarding Solaris, server hang or shutdown.

    Hi
    As I am handling the Solaris 9 Server remotely.
    As in last week the server has stopped to respond suddenly, we have tried to ping, ssh which was not working. As ultimately we have asked the Data Centre Team to hard reboot the same, to resolve the issue.
    In the same ref I would like to know how we come to know the reason, what caused to reboot the same, i.e . any log file, etc..
    I have check /var/adm/messages, but not found any detail for the same.
    Thanks

    No core files?
    No hope for an answer.
    As you learned in the other Internet forum.
    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/how-to-find-out-the-info-regarding-solaris-server-hang-or-shutdown.-621500/
    To get such corefiles analyzed,
    you would need to use your service contract and log a support case with Sun.
    They have the special software tools to do that.

  • How do you edit the duration of multiple still images?

    FCP X has a default duration for still images when you import them. After importing, how can I edit the duration of multiple clips?
    I've tried selecting them all, control-click and change duration, but nothing changes.
    BTW I want to make them 5 frames each...
    thanks for any help

    Thanks Tom, I've tried that. and nothing happens.
    I presume that I type the 5 in the number sequence thing above the timeline?

  • How can I edit the file name of the home page?

    How can I edit the file name of the home page?
    Gr Ammani

    I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
    When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
    This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
    Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
    Thanks,
    Emelia

  • In Pages, how do I edit the "My Card" data?

    in Pages, how do I edit the "My Card" data?
    I can't get a sender field to select my Email address or mobile phone.
    I've searched the Help file for "My Card" and come up with nothing.
    I've looked in My Contacts and edited the data where my name has a little blue bust (figuring MAYBE that's the My Card),
    but everything looks correct in there, so the sender field isn't pulling data from here.
    So WHERE DO SENDER FIELDS COME FROM?

    Peter:
    First of all, THANKS for the quick reply. However it’s not working, either from the Link Inspector, or directly from the Menu. Here’s the steps to reproduce the problem:
    I start with a new blank document, then pull down the Insert menu / Sender Field / Name / First Name, all it does is insert the word “First Name” into the document.
    Pull down the Insert menu / Sender Field / Phone / Home Phone, all it does is insert the words “Home Phone”.
    Same with all the other fields.
    In other words, Sender Fields are not pulling data from the Contacts list.
    I have done as you suggested, even closing both the Pages program AND Contacts, then starting Contacts first before starting Pages, in the hope that the link between the two will be established when starting Pages.  Still no good.
    I got it to work once last night (which was a good sanity-check for me to know I was doing it right) after editing my contact data inside the Contacts program, but I can’t get it to work today. I’ve tried rebooting, restarting Contacts, starting contacts BOTH before and after starting Pages. But it still won’t go.
    It’s hard to believe this program is an Apple product, seeing how unreliable it is.
    Any other suggestions?

  • How do I edit the default settings to always embed fonts?

    How do I edit the default settings in Acrobat Pro XI to always embed fonts?

    Do not use the Std job settings, but use the Press or Print settings. You can also edit the properties of the Job Settings (best done in Distiller) to not exclude any fonts and embed all as subset fonts. Be sure to check the option to continue if embedding is not possible or your creation will fail if you used a font that is not licensed for embedding (Acrobat will only embed fonts that are legally licensed for embedding -- most are, but not all).
    If you edit the Std, you will need to save to a new name. You might use MyStd or such. Then go to the Start>Printers and edit the properties of the Adobe PDF printer to make that settings file the default. If you use PDF Maker, you will have to change the PDF Maker preferences also (PDF Maker seems to use the last selection, not the default in the printer). Hopefully that is clear enough.

    Can any one provide me the solution
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    In our case, even though i change the name of the workbook using 'Change title' that is not reflected in the workbook if it is in a role. so, in that case, goto pfcg - enter the name of the role -> menu tab -> change the workbook name for the workbook of your choice.

  • I have a custom template.  When I edit it and try to save it asks me to name it and then I end up with an additional custom template.  How do I edit the template and save the changes without creating another template?

    I have a custom template.  When I edit it and try to save it asks me to name it and then I end up with an additional custom template.  How do I edit the template and save the changes without creating another template?

    Hi Atrec,
    If you don't need your old custom template, save your changes with the same template name. It will tell you that this template exists and will ask you Replace? Say yes (if you do want to replace the old with the new!)
    To delete unwanted templates, go to Finder > Menu > Go and press the option key. Your Library will show in the Go Menu. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
    Delete any unwanted template by dragging it to the Trash or click on it then command-delete.
    Having gone to all that trouble to find My Templates folder, right click (or control click) on it and Make Alias. Drag the Alias to any convenient place for a quick way to get back to that folder.
    Regards,
    Ian.
