HT4059 Highlight in iBooks

How do you highlight in iBooks??

@crabtree8 not sure what you're seeing but this is exactly how it works in iOS.  Either drag your finger across to highlight and/or hold your finger on a starting location and then drag the pegs and click highlight.
In mavericks, either hold command and then drag with your mouse, or highlight with your mouse and right click - highlight.

  • HT4059 Highlighting in iBooks for iPhone.

    When I'm in scroll mode, I keep highlighting text, the yellow one, not the blue one that gives you the choice to copy or define or whatever, when scrolling down. It sometimes happens when I have it on book mode, but all I have to do to fix that is just tap the screen instead of dragging my finger across. Is there a fix like this or a simple setting change for scroll mode?

    I was looking more to have my entire ibook ie previous purchased content all in one place in my itunes ibook section and then being able to sync it to my iphone and have teh stanza/ereader/kindle apps read from the directory that ibooks stores it on the iphone. I have both DRM'ed and Non-DRM'ed ebooks purchased from the the palm ebook store now at http://store.fictionwise.com/palm/ that I use. I would hope IBooks would be able to open DRM'ed books from other sources though.
    Important sidenote update: I have since updated my OS and Itunes, and have synced myiphone with it, there now appears a sync category for IBOOKS in the Iphone Settings Section along with the other categories.

    Try deleting the app and then reinstalling it. If that fails  Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT4059 can I print my highlights from ibooks, email them or save them to a file?

    I have higlighted several passages in my ibooks.  I would like to print them, save them in a file, or even email them.  Is this possible?  And, since I have highlighted in different colors, will those colors transfer when printed or saved?  Thank you!

    No such option is available with the iPhone.
    A text can be forwarded, but texts are saved in conversation format by contact/phone number.
    Texts are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are a number of 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer - viewing/archiving/printing, etc.
    Here is one.

  • HT4059 Printing electronic notes and highlights in iBooks

    I have made electronic notes and highlights from a uni boo (PDF), is it possible to print a copy of the notes I have made and sections I have highlighted?  If so, how please?  I do not have any air printers.

    Just answered my own question:
    I also had this question, and spent time puzzling over it. But here's the answer:
    Open the relevant iBook
    Click the icon that looks like a 3 line bullett list
    Click on Notes
    Click on the icon in the top right hand side that looks like a page with an up arrow pointing out of it.
    Choose Edit Notes
    Select the notes or highlights that you want printing (a tick appears in the circular radio button)
    Click SHARE
    Choose either Mail or Print
    Voila

  • HT4059 Turn off other peoples notes and highlights in iBooks app? iOS 6

    How do i get rid of other peoples notes and highlights in books im reading. I used to be able to turn it off but now in iOS6 cant find the button to turn off other peoples notes and highlights on my book. So Frustrating. It used to be in settings. Not anymore!!! So annoying.

    Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on the iPod go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and you should be able to download an older compatible version of it

  • Highlighting in IBooks new version

    When I select the text in IBooks sometimes the only option I get is Speak, I don't get highlight anymore. Do you know what caused this? Or how to fix it? Thanks

    I think I have discovered the cause.
    I wanted to see if I could alter the voice in Settings, Accessibility, speak selection (ios5 had only an Australian option, which was awful: ios6 has several dialects, much better). I tried the changes on an iBooks selection, which worked fine but still no highlight bar functions, then wondered what would happen if I turned off speak selection.
    I turned  off speak selection, quit iBooks, restarted the ipad, reopened iBooks and voila! I could get the highlight bar with all its functions except speak.
    Just to make sure, I turned speak selection on again, and again all options except speak disappeared in iBooks.
    So now I have highlighting but no speak capability.
    I have sent all this info to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks, hopefully they will fix this rather glaring bug.

  • I can't highlight an ibook (MAC) I bought

  • Turn Off Highlights in iBooks

    I recently bought a few books for my 5yr old to read on the iPad as he is learning how to read. When kids are learning to read, they use their finger to follow the words on a page - but when you do this in iBooks (as with everywhere in iOS) it brings up a magnifying glass and highlights the text. Is there a way to turn this off so that he can use the iPad to read?

    Could it be some sort of field issue with the encoding? When viewing on the Mac what screens are you viewing on? Won't they be non interlaced by their nature whilst a tv would be interlaced? Just thinking out loud here as to what might be the cause. We use pre-encoded assets all the time and (unless something has drastically changed in the latest SP- why?) it definitely doesn't re-encode pre-encoded assets.
    I would have thought if it was re-encdoing you would be likely to see blocking than interlacing anyway...
    Try re-encoding a small section - preferably one where you are seeing the interlacing issue worse - with some different settings in Cinemacraft and see if you can trac it down that way perhaps
    Sorry I can't be more help

  • HT4059 I downloaded iBooks Author in Italy so the interface is in Italian.  I want to change to English for the entire interface?

    I downloaded iBooks Author in Italy so the interface is in Italian.  I want to change to English for the entire interface?

    You would have to re download iBooks Author from the U.S. App Store. Launch the App Store then click the round flag icon bottom right side of the window. Select United States
    The issue with this is that your billing credentials (regardless of whether or not it's a free or paid app) must be associated with the same country where you reside. So you may not be able to re download iBooks Author in English.
    Post your topic in the iBooks Author community here.
    More iBooks Author users can offer feedback that way and may know of a work around.
    This is the, "iTunes Store" community for help with iOS devices.

  • HT4059 PDFs from ibooks Author limitations?

    Are there limitations to the PDFs that one can create from a book authored with ibooks author (for people who don't have apple devices to be able to read)? 

    Yes, there are many limitations -  an iBA PDF lacks the interactivity that an .ibooks file would have, including links, TOC, etc.
    Consider it a preview that allows for basic review.
    What other devices are you attempting to target?
    Keep in mind that iBA outputs a hybrid epub, which is why iBooks on iOS is required (coming to the next OS X), while Pages outputs an industry standard epub, which is cross-platform.

  • HT4059 Why does iBooks offer very few books in Nigeria?

    Hello all,
    I recently got iPad (Third Generation) because I was excited about the possibilities of reading so many books through the iBooks app. However, I have recently discovered that there are very few books on offer in the Nigeria Store - and they are mostly books available in the public domain.
    For a couple of days, I thought it was a general iBooks problem (i.e. iBooks did not have so many books as I had originally thought) - but then I visited the US Store through a friend's account (who also lives in Nigeria) - and realized that a greaaat deal of books are available in the US Store (and other stores).
    Why does iBooks offer very few books in Nigeria? Is there any way to work around this restriction? How can this complaint be forwarded to those who make decisions at iTunes?
    Thanks,
    Koye.

    Congratulatons on the new iPad! 
    Music, movies, books, apps, etc. are availble on a country by country basis, as made available by the publisher. If you have books you would like to see added to the iTunes Store/iBookstore, you should submit feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • When highlighting in iBooks whole paragraph underlines after iOS8 update

    I have the iPad Air.  When you highlight a passage if you are at the end of the page it highlights all previous paragraphs.  When you delete  highlights everything is lost.  This only started occurring after the iOS8 upgrade.

    I'm having the same problem!!!!  I have always used this feature and never had this problem!! I always highlight certain magazines I download and heavely rely on this feature. I will highlight a few paragraphs and then all of a sudden it highights all the prior paragraghs.  When you delete, it erases everything you have already highlighted!!  I have tried rebooting but problem still exsits.   This only started with the IOS 8 upgrade. Had I known this was going to happen, I would have waited to upgrade. I use the highlighting ALOT!!
    if you hear of a solution, please post.  also, if you know who to complain to let me know!
