TS3274 Unable to choose books by author after IBooks upgrade

I have just upgraded my IBooks on my IPad 1 (iOS5.1.1). Now if I am in the browse mode I am unable to choose books to purchase. Each time I click on an author I am asked to click on author to see books. I have tried removing IBooks from my IPad and reloading it and still have the same issue. Since I am using an IPad1 iOS5.1.1 is the most up to date operating system I can put on so I can't try upgrading to iOS6.0. Is there a work around for this problem?

There are a few categorical places one must visit in order to synchronize iBooks for Mac with IOS iBooks. There is no need to remove the iBook for Mac application.
System Preferences > iCloud > Documents and Data is enabled
IOS Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections (enabled) and optionally Sync Bookmarks (enabled)Assumption that iCloud is enabled on the IOS device with documents and data enabled
iBook for Mac > Preferences > General: Sync: Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices
iTunes
Pick your IOS Device under DEVICES in the left nav
Choose Books along the top toolbar
In the Books panel, choose one of the following
Books and PDF Files
Books only
PDF only
In the Sync Books panel
All Books
Selected BooksClick the box next to the books you wish to Sync
Select iTunes Sync
The books (and PDF) you selected above are now on your IOS device

Can I sort books by Author in iBooks?

Can I sort books by Author in iBooks?

For sure. That is a life saver for me till I get a Sort by Author option on the Right Most menu. Currently when I need to find a book by its author I click the middle selection which does not sort books by the Author but gives me the option to see all the books by each author in my Library. Thing is I can not organize me Book Rack sorted by the author. I can organize it by the Title. Or I can organize it Manually, now that is a huge job. Not worth the time it will consume.
Many thanks for your attention.
Hoping Apple will give us "Sort by Author" option in the right-most button and the Sort option in the View menu; along with the existing Purchases, Title and Manual options.

IPhoto books in iPhoto - The new Photos program only has square photo books. Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

I have many photo books created in iPhoto. These are rectangular shaped. The new Photos program only has square shaped books. After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto? Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
See the Preview.
Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

Unable to find valid certification path after an upgrade from 11.1.1.6 to 11.1.1.7

Hi,
I had a small composite deployed in 11.1.1.6 and after an upgrade to 11.1.1.7 I am getting
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
Does it mean that my soa composite now cannot validate the certificate of the server it is trying to connect to?
Can somebody share thoughts on how to fix it?
Thank you,
Anatoliy

Hi Robert,
Thank you much for the quick response. Not having big knowledge under my belt in this area I tried
1. Changed the keystore passphrase under my managed weblogic domain for the Demo Identity Keystore
2. ./keytool -importcert -alias avsclient -keystore /dnat8o/fmw/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_29-R28.2.2-4.1.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file client_cer.cer
Was prompted with the password but entering what I did enter in step 1 didn't help. Do I have to bounce the managed server once I change the passphrase, if what I a mdoing makes sense at all, not sure
Thank you,
Anatoliy

Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad. Previously, I had no problem. I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.

Hi MomjiDoll!
I have an article for you that will help you troubleshoot your ability to use the Home Sharing feature:

Address Book app missing after ML upgrade

Hi - After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I no longer have the Address Book app in my Applications folder.
It exists on the backup clone I made just before I upgraded. But that version won't run under Mountain Lion.
2 Questions:
1) What happened?
2) How do I restore Address Book? Reinstall ML?
Thanks....

Doh. I had set up a hot key to call up Address Book.
When it failed, I looked in the Applications Folder. No Address Book!
I wish all my computer issues were this easy to fix...thank you.

[solved] Unable to find the root device after an upgrade - diff. case

Background: I recently upgraded my installation done in August 2011 to the most recent packages with 'pacman -Syu' - which, amongst some other minor issues that I fixed, apparently broke my installation's boot sequence. Not sure if this is relevant, but I forced the upgrade as it's been prescribed here.
Note to self: do backups before any major upgrades like this.
Problem: The problem is of the same origin as seen in this post - systems lets me know it cant access the root partition anymore. I'm halfway through the procedure that pineapple-biku suggested but since my partition layout is different - and - because I don't have much understanding of what *exactly* I'm supposed to do and accomplish, I'm stuck for now.
What is the best way to find out the exact labels of encrypted volumes and their corresponding kernel device IDs (i.e. /dev/sda6 for 'tmp' and so on)? I have several volumes of the same size, thus it's hard to guess which is which without knowing for sure.
Details: My setup has an unencrypted '/boot' partition and 7 other encrypted partitions, including /root, /usr and others. These are contained within a single extended partition.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. In case I've left out some important information, let me know, and I'll do my best to provide it.

Thank you both for your assistance. Some more understanding was exactly what I was in need of.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still a newbie when it comes to Pacman, thus prone to such mistakes.

# ls -lah /dev/disk/by-label
# ls -lah /dev/disk/by-id
# ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid
This should get you on the way on discovering which disk is what exactly (you'll need to know the / and /boot partition in order to fix the issue).
Thank you. I'll try that.

I can't search for books or authors on my iphone 6. It says no results found every time. Is there some setting I may have wrong? I have been using my kindle app instead.

I can't search for book or authors in ibooks. When I search an author or book and click on it a message that says not results found comes up. Even if I try to look up something popular like Dracula or Twilight. Is there some setting I should have clicked? It won't find or download any books at all anymore. This started about a month ago. I have been using my Kindle app instead.

Hi laurieg23,
I see that you are having issues with your connection to the iBooks Store. Here is an article with some troubleshooting steps that will be relevant to your issue, even though the article was written for issues with the iTunes Store:

User account not showing up in login screen after Leopard upgrade

One of my admin accounts is no longer showing up at log in. I did the upgrade and password suggestions on the support sight... titled Unable to log in to account after an upgrade but still no good. The only account affected did have a password of 8 characters or more.
I go to open System Preferences when in a different account with admin rights and I don't see my original account as an existing user? I can see my original stuff in the user folders, but I am not listed as a user in the Account Preferences or Login. I also cannot create a new user with the same name as my old login as that name is apparently(!) already in use. I have an account with admin rights that is showing up.
From a different thread it seems that many others are having this problem thus I think it warrents its own thread. What is the easiest way to bring back my account and data... I know it is there it just is not showing up at log in.
tbigsmo wrote this from other thread... hmmmm
One more thing, I created a new user and copied over all folders from my old user account and that didn't even think about working. The last solution was suggested by the apple 800 number. This is what I was going to try next, but now am waiting. Also the other thread was very hard to follow as many folks did not have access to a working user admin account.
How can I find myself too?

Turns out you're both right, sort of...
* The Guest Account is hidden because it's a sub 500 user, so you guys were on the money there. (I hadn't realized it was a sub-500 user...)
* Using the hint at the link posted by V.K. to hide the secret administrator hides it ONLY from the login window, but not from the Accounts section of System Preferences...so, that solution doesn't work for me. (This is going on a master image, and the users will have admin rights, so they would be able to delete the secret administrator account...)
So, I'll just have to live without having the actual Guest account active (which I need active for use with Orbicule Undercover,) and instead I created a standard user (with a few parental controls) named "Guest User."
Thanks, both of you, for your help.

HT4859 I am unable to recover a rented movie after changing one iPad for another. Music and books were easily restored

I am unable to restore a rented movie after Changing out my iPad for a new one. All music and books were restored easily

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Unable to choose PRINT WIDE AREA on EPSON printer 740i after upgrading

After upgrading to 10.4.5 i was unable to choose the print area in the page set up window. I use an EPSON 740, i had problems trying to print at the begining but solved them (luckily!). The print area is an option i use alot! because the print margin is bigger than the normal. I'm a graphic designer and i don't want to change my printer, it worked PERFECTLY with 10.3.... What can i do?

OK! So the Mac has the drivers. One small step.
Bear in mind please that I do not have that printer. On the Brother that I struggled with, the trick was to reset it and get it to print out the default settings. (Instructions I found on the Brother site.) Included in the printout was the printer's IP - 192.168.2.24.
I then configured the Macs to find the printer. In 10.8.2: System Preferences / Print and Scan / + / IP
But the first step was to get the printer to cough up the settings. Perhaps your manual has this info?

Unable to open book that I created in iBooks author

I created a book in iBooks author on my mac, emailed it to myself as an iBook, and when I try opening it on my iPad 2 (which is running the most updated version of iOS7) when i got the message "unable to open book." I have tried deleting iBooks and redownloading it only to get the same message. I also sent myself a different version of the book I made and it still won't open on my iPad. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Frankly, I don't know what's happening, but I can offer you some options. I only hope that you'll post here with the results so others can solve this:
If you have access to another computer, see if you can send the iBook to your iPad via Dropbox. I know this works for PDFs; I'm hoping it also works for other ebooks.

Unable to choose X-Fi in BF2 after last dri

Hi to all,
It sounds many people are having trouble with BF2 in Vista. I have this trouble. I wonder if anyone has this too and if the problem is the current driver. I had tested only two games. BF2 and Flight Simulator X demo. The latter is 5. speaker?s sound. The former is 2. speaker sound. The problem with BF2 is this. I cannot choose X-Fi, only hardware. With that configuration, I can choose Ultra high. However, the sound is 2. only during the game and the movie in the beginning. When I choose X-Fi, I get the following message. You sound hardware is incompatible with settings you selected. Please reset your audio settings to default settings in order to hear sound and music. Previous driver did not say that at all. I mean WinXP 64bit driver. I have Vista 64bit 5744. I was able to choose X-Fi and Ultra high and it seemed 5. sounds. However, with that driver I was unable to choose surround sounds. It was gray out. I have only stereo sound. This last driver, which is Vista beta, I am able to choose and test with no problems 7. speakers? sounds. The bad news is BF2 is only 2., as I said already. Does anyone have the same problem? Any solution if this is the case? Can that be problem with the driver or the game?
Thanks,
Medico

I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm running Vista 32-bit and tried the OpenAL trick and it works fine. I can hear surround sounds perfectly in BF2 and in the operating system. Granted the sound quality isn't as good now that I can't select X-Fi and Ultra High in the settings, but at least I can hear when somebody's trying to sneak up behind me. Maybe it's a problem with the 64-bit driver or 64-bit Vista. Who knows...but I just wanted to let you know that I was able to get it working with the OpenAL trick. Now, if I can just get Ventrilo to work for longer than 30 mins before messing up...that'd be swell.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?
kim

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Unable to create books or calendar in iphoto 08

Hi,
I bought my computer two months ago and am now trying to create a book and calendar for the holidays, but neither are working. The Calendar button does nothing and the book button works, but when the drop-down screen comes up, I am unable to choose what "type" of book I want, nor is there any info on the box to the left. I have visited the genius bar and have called support and no one has been able to help me. They even re-installed the operating system, iLife, iphoto, etc. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they have solved it or if anyone has any advice?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First have you installed the latest iPhoto 7.1.1 update and theiLife Support 8.1.1 update? If not do so followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility and try again.
If the above doesn't fix the problem it looks like you'll have to reinstall iPhoto from the disks that it came on, probably the system install disks that came with your computer. Here's what you'll have to do:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.
Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto. (Note: if you ever use iDVD you might try it first and see if it's themes are available. If not you'll have to do the same for iDVD as I laid out for iPhoto).
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
