Why can't I change the highlight color in iBooks?

After the last update of iBooks app, I can’t change the color of the highlighter. I press down and hold on a piece of highlighted text, but the color and notes toolbar doesn’t pop-up. Is anyone else having this problem? Fixes?

Hi,
I just tried it.  After a section was highlighted, I just tapped once on it and the color options popped up.  Tapping once does the trick..... rather than holding down and pressing, which I agree would have been my first choice, too.
Best of luck

  • Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

    Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
    Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
    I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
    I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

    That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why can't I change the background color of my UIView in IB?

    I have a rootController which controls several other ***ViewController's and I have been doing the usual thing by changing the background color in IB.  However, for one controller, I cannot change it's background color from the default no matter what I do.
    To be clear, each new controller created has been done in the same manner using the UIViewController subclass with nib file.
    I have cleaned the project and deleted the app from my iPhone countless times and still no change.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    "Typically, when a same-only different controller acts up like this, the first thing to do is to rewire - sounds like you've gone down that path tho.
    Can you duplicate one of the cooperative controllers, add it to the mix and see if things change there?"
    I've tried all of that several times.  I have no idea.  Maybe some sleep will help it and me.

  • Why can't I change the background color on title slides in 10.0.2?

    I can change the font color, but the background only seems to be able to be black. any truth in that?  Seems like the older version I had let me change the background color.

  • How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

    Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
    Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
    I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

    I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

  • How do I change the highlight color?

    When I'm working on my document in Pages, I often do a Search (command-F) to quickly find a word or phrase that appears somewhere else in the document. It works great, but it highlights the word/phrase in light gray, which I have trouble seeing. Is there a way to change the highlight color to yellow, or any other color, making the word/phrase easier to see?

    You can find it under the Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback. That takes you to the same page as this link.

  • Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:

    int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
    System.out.print( "1. " );

    else
    System.out.println( "TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is unsupported!" );
    =========================================================
    However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:
    ======================================================
    SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: Transaction manager errors. statement not allowed in XA Session.
    ======================================================
    To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

  • Changing the highlight color of a JMenuBar

    I'm trying to change the highlight color of a JMenuBar. I�m using the METAL lookandfeel which by default highlights with a purple color. I would also like to know how its done on a JTable, I assume it is quite similar.

    UIDefaults uid = new com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel().getDefaults();</code>
    Note that this will print the default properties for the Windows Look&Feel, not the Metal Look&Feel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.
