Unreadable Book Titles in iOS 8 Books App

There seems to have been an "enhancement" to Books in iOS 8 that renders the book titles nearly ureadable in My Books view.
Unfortunately, there is a new background effect that uses a grayed out version of the home screen. In addition, the book titles and authors are now displayed in gray. Also, the font size is amazingly miniscule.
Does anyone know of a way to set the font color in the My Books view? A solid white or black would be very good.
Is there a way of increasing the font size? Anything larger than the default would be great.
If there is a way to set the background for My Books view I would love to know about it.
I've tried just about all the options for backgrounds, including a solid black or white, but the "enhancement" that grays out the background just creates more gray.
Gray on gray typography. Not good. Almost unreadable.
Here's an example:
OUCH!

Indeed! I turned that off a while back because I don't like white type on black - BUT...
I've discovered that the display becomes like yours if I turn on a light here in this cave! Yay.
SO, as it turns out, the night settings do not apply to My Books view. One can not turn off night settings.
It looks like this is an area that has not been completed for it appears to need further refinement.
Anyway, problem half solved because I figured out what was going on. I just need to wait for the next update to iOS I suppose.

How do I get unread books off my Kindle reader and onto my Kindle app on my iPad?

You don't. You get them from the Amazon server to your kindle app on the iPad.

Unreadable books

Hi,
I recently downloaded "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" to my Reader. Entire sections of this book are not legible on the device due to the fact that the copy is rendered in 3 point type on some pages. In addition, there are a bunch of graphics which are so pale or lacking in detail that it isn't possible to know what they are.
This is the second book I've paid for which had these problems. It has nothing to do with my Reader nor the process: it's the e-publisher who apparently failed to recognize that these treatments of text are impossible to read on an electronic device. I am angry that Sony sold the book to me with this problem. Has anybody else found books made this way? Did you get a credit for the purchase price of the book? Thanks!

Hello,
Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
We suggest testing the title itself. go to the unreadable page from within the reader application on your computer, does it appear normal? can you read it properly on the computer but not your tablet? is it also unreadable from your computer?
If the book is unreadable on your tablet but fine on the computer. remove the title and re transfer it back to the PRS-T1.
If the book is unreadable on your computer as well, remote the title from your computer and the tablet and re download the title from the store.
here is the instructions on how to download a previously purchased title.

Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
Thanks
Steve

i've had the same experience here.
essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
any solutions out there?

Why is the Address Book app slow to update my contacts?

When I try to import my Google contacts into my Mac Address Book via vCard (.vcf) format, Address Book app takes an eternity to finish updating (like a half hour or more), during which I cannot do anything else in the Address Book.
The last time I tried to do so, yesterday, my entire system became extremely slow and I had to restart the computer. BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
I also notice that searching for contacts within the Address Book is an extremely slow process. I begin to type a name and the program is very sluggish to respond or display anything, forcing me to type very slowly.
What can I do to resolve these issues so I can update and search for my contacts in the Address Book within reasonable amounts of time?

you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Is there a moving picture book app scam and virus?

I purchased moving picture book app (free) but then they advertised several books and purchased several to download. I was charged through ITunes as an in app purchase but then the books never downloaded and when a couple of them did, the screen was blank. I tried to report the problem but cannot select the purchase to report a problem. I don't know what happened. I read several reviews and others have experienced this. I sent an email to ITunes support but have not received any email back. What can I do? The books apps were supposed to be for my child who has autism. We felt we've been cheated.

Thanks MRLoon for your reply. I've read the adverts and saw the preview and that's why I decided to purchase the apps but I was unable to play any of the three apps that I downloaded. I purchased 16 total thinking they would download immediately. But after trying to download the first three and got nothing, I stopped. I've already sent an email to the moving picture books app support team five days ago and have not received any feedback or reply. If you are truly one of the owners, have your support team reply to my email. I'll send another one today. And please have your people check to see if the current app is compatible with IOS 5. Is there a better working contact number or email for Moving Picture Books app? Again, I appreciate your reply and any assistance you may provide. I hope your nephew is doing well.

My ipad1 won't let me download books,apps or even update apps, it says delete pictures

My ipad1 won't let me download books,apps or even update apps, it says delete pictures & videos to make room for downloads but I do not have on my iPad pictures or video & I barley have any extra apps!!

The operating system takes up about 2GB, so that's why your 16 GB iPad has 14 GB capacity. And if you only have 687mbs left, it means you don't have much space left to add to your iPad. Do you have lot's of videos/Books/Music/Apps/Pictures on your iPad. If you do and you want to add more, you're going to have to delete things before you can add more.

Try resetting your network settings.
Settings>Genenal>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

If Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver does not work, then it is unlikely iBooks will do text to speach on its own in the current version.
<http://www.apple.com/feedback>
I know that some competing services, Kindle, Nook, etc... are restricted in doing text to speach by the book publishers.
If this is text in a PDF (not an ebook), then maybe there is another app that can to text to speach on PDFs.
If it is published books that are of interest, there is Audible.com <http://www.audible.com/>
In theory it should be possible to use the Mac OS X Text to Speach facilities to convert a document into an audio file, and they sync that to the iPod Touch. I assume there is similar text to speach utilities for Windows systems.
I'm also guessing that there are web sites dedicated to assisting sight impaired individuals that might provide ideas for getting text to speach options for the iPod Touch.

What are the correct privileges for Wheel in address book.app 5.0.3?

Address Book app disappeared; how can I reinstall it?

Out of the blue, my Address Book app disappeared. The icon in the Dock has a question mark on it, and the application itself is no longer in my Applications folder, or anywhere on the drive. Even stranger, it's not in any of my Time Machine backups, even though it was working and present until yesterday.
Mind you, I'm not talking about the data. it's that the app itself is gone. Interestingly, my email still seems to act as if the Address Book contact information is still present. But if I select an address in an email "from" field, for example, and say "Open in Address Book," nothing happens.
Now here's an even weirder part. I also have a recent backup of my Apple Mail and Address Book using Email Backup Pro. After seeing that the Address Book app seems to have also disappeared from my Time Machine backups, I opened Email backup Pro and did a restore of my Address Book. The program reported that the Address Book was successfully restored, but nothing changed -- the Address Book app was still nowhere to be found. I've done this twice.
I also have my Address Book data on my iPod Touch (thankfully). Synching does nothing -- nothing changes on the iPod or on the hard disk, in terms of Address Book.
I'm baffled. Although I'd like to know what caused this, my more immediate concern is to get a functioning Address Book installed again. I booted from the Snow Leopard disc, but could see no option to install just the Address Book.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, John.

You can use an application called Pacifist to grab it from the original install media.
