Why is editing book info not implemented yet? Really?

When moving books to my iBooks app I noticed that I can't edit the book name, author, etc... Like really? Why? I just wonder how an engineer will think that this is ok, is astonishing that this level of incompetency is part of one of the most valuable brands in the world. We want to be able to edit book data to better organize our library. Name, Author, Publication Year, etc... This isn't rocket science, when books were managed in iTunes this functionality was built in, there are many developers out here and we know that this functionality can be implemented in a few hours. Why hasn't been done? Well, I can't imagine.

You are right, this does not make much sense in what limits information we can edit in our devices. I don't think this is an engineer decision, most likely a business one or program one to save development time or to really make us get only books from the store, not sure, but it does not matter, editing metadata is something customers miss from Mavericks. I would advise people requesting this feature back at > https://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks.html
Just praise you like iBooks app and need metadata editing feature back. The more people requesting it, more likely management will considering adding it back.

  • Why ebooks on ibooks is not available yet in philippines

    why ebooks on ibooks is not available yet in philippines

    Apple can sell things where the content providers have given them licenses to sell them - so if the book publishers haven't given them licenses to sell their ibooks in the Philippines then Apple can't sell them there.
    Until if/when the book publishers grant Apple licenses, do you have access to other ebook apps/stores that you can use instead ?

  • View Accessor Bind Variables not implemented yet

    When i try to use a view aceesor that has bind variables, and try to configure the value of the bind variable the message is that it is not implemented yet...
    Will this be in the next release?
    Is there a workaround?
    I am trying to use this for list of values fields, can i pass the variable in any other way?

    Well, probably this is one more issue fixed after TP2 release...
    I just have an entity based view and a query bessed view with a bind variable.
    I add the query based view in the accessors of Entity Based view in order to create a LOV item.
    I select edit to edit the accessor.
    I see my bind variable in the bind parameter values region.
    i click on the value field to set the value.
    A button (edit) apears to the left ot the field.
    I click that button and a popup message a message apears: Business Components E_NOTIMP Not Implemented, yet.
    Does that work for you?
    I just want to set the value equal to an Attribute of my entity based view, should i just type the attribute name?

  • Why is crop to dimension not implemented?

    I can do this in photoshop but one should be able to do it in lightroom.
    I always have huge pictures form the d800 which the client is only requesting 2048 pixel sizes images.  i would like to crop to see what I can crop out  before I output to the desired sizes.
    Shame it is not implemented yet. Paid upgrade to 5 will have it right as a new feature?

    There is a long list of features that you can say "I can do this in photoshop but one should be able to do it in lightroom"
    The Lightroom designers made some choices. You don't have to agree with them, but I disagree with you.
    I always have huge pictures form the d800 which the client is only requesting 2048 pixel sizes images.  i would like to crop to see what I can crop out  before I output to the desired sizes.
    You crop the photo the way you want it, to the desired aspect ratio, leaving out whatever you choose, and then change the size to the desired number of pixels on export. This works perfectly well in your situation. You are losing nothing in this example by not having the full capability of photoshop
    Shame it is not implemented yet. Paid upgrade to 5 will have it right as a new feature?
    Congrats to the LR designers for leaving this out. You can always suggest new features, but I don't think this one will make it.

  • Why my I Books will not open a downloaded book?

    Downloaded a book from the apple store into iBooks.
    I can see the book and it said it is downloaded but can not open it.
    Operating system 7.0.

    Close iBooks, reboot the iPad and try again.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iBooks app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, delete the book and download it again. In the iBooks app, tap the edit button, select the book by tapping on it, then tap Delete in the upper left corner. Go back and download the book again. You will not be charged for the download as long as you use the same Apple ID.

  • OAS 4.0.8.1 JServlet: Extra path info not implemented?

    Didn't Oracle implement extra path info for servlets? According to the Java Servlets spec it should be possible to invoke a servlet with a URL like http://host/servlets/MyServlet/index.html where /index.html would be accessible through the getPathInfo() method of the servlet and the translated path would be accessible through the getPathTranslated() method.
    Trying the sample servlet SnoopServlet delivered with OAS 4.0.8.1 through http://host/servlets/SnoopServlet/index.html OAS tries to load a class called ...\SnoopServlet\index\html and throws a ClassNotFoundException (naturally).
    Is this a bug or didn't Oracle implement extra path info?
    Thanks.

    I posted the same question some time ago but I didn't get an answer. BTW Oracle JServlet Cartridge documentation states that extra path is accessible through the getPathInfo(). Here is excerpt from the Invoking JServlet cartridges document:
    To invoke a JServlet cartridge, the URL must be in the following format:
    http://hostname[ ort]/virtual_path/java_class_name[path_info][?QUERY_STRING]
    where:
    hostname specifies the machine where the application server is running.
    port specifies the port at which the application server is listening. If omitted, port 80 is assumed.
    virtual_path specifies a virtual path mapped to the JServlet cartridge.
    java_class_name specifies the Java class to run. This class must contain an entry point method. If a query string is included in the URL then there must be a doGet() method.
    path_info provides additional path information for the servlet. The path can be accessed from the servlet using the HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() method.
    QUERY_STRING specifies parameters (if any) for the Java class. The string follows the format of the GET method. For example, multiple parameters are separated with the & character and spaces are replaced with the + character. If you use HTML forms to generate the string (as opposed to generating the string yourself), the formatting is done automatically for you.
    But I couldn't make it work as described in documentation.

  • Why "Single Edition-App" and not "Professional"?

    Hi, I've got 2 questions :
    1. We've  changed our Single Edition Account (two weeks ago) to a Professional Account.
    Written in the DPS App Builder-panel is unfortunately still "Single-Edition-App."
    How can I change this or is that normal?
    2. How can I make an App for the iPad AND for iPhone to distribute on the App Store?
    Is that possible with my professional Account? And what's the correct App-Type for that? I only can choose "Multi Folios", "Multi Folios with iTunes Abonnement", "Adobe Content Viewer".
    Thanks for help

    Hi Phillipe,
    you need to rebuild your app using DPS App Builder if you want to change the app type, it does not automatically change when you switch to Professional Edition. You will then also have to resubmit it to the App Store.
    Professional Edition allows you to create an app for iPad and iPhone. The app type depends on the kind of content you are offering with your app. Multiple versions of the same folio aimed at different devices are called renditions. You would need to choose "Multi Folio" for that. If you want to enable your readers to subscribe to your publication you would need to select "Multi Folio with iTunes Subscription".
    Your second question cannot be answered comprehensively in a forum post as it involves just too many things. There is a lot of documentation available on the DPS help pages on the topics of the different app types, app creation and app distribution. Maybe start with this article Understanding different types of DPS apps and take it from there. There is also a Publishing Companion Guide available to download from the the DPS Dashboard which I can recommend.

  • Trying to print a web page - get error: e10s printing is not implemented yet. Bug 927188. New problem, just started this week.

    I can print OK from IE, just don't like tp use it.

    You can disable the E10S (multi-process) in Tools -> Options -> General
    The reply by TheTobyS5 was just a generic canned reply as he may not have known what E10S was about.

  • Why isn't iWork apps not free yet after IOS7 update ?

    Apple did say that IWork would be free, but it is not free as IMovie still has the original price, is it for certen devises or is there a problem on the store?

    The advertisements leading up to the release of iOS 7 let me to believe that I work would be free for everybody. Apparently that is not the case. I was a little disappointed to find out but now it is only free for new devices activated after September 1 however upon looking at the reviews and how horrible they are I'm  not disappointed at all in fact you couldn't pay me to use iWork so thanks but no thanks Apple once again.

  • Why does my calendar info not go from my iPad to my MAC mini

    When I add an event to my calendar on my Mac it will go to all of my other devices. If I add an event to my Ipad it does not go to my Mac. Should it not flow both ways?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Why does my email info not sync?

    Hi all,
    I have a few computers and I read email on them all.... it used to be that when I read an email in one it would update on my other and when that email came into my inbox on my other computer it would already be read. If i deleted an email it would be deleted on all machines.... so basically all email accounts would be constantly updated.
    Since I installed Snow Leopard... it no longer happens. On each machines all emails come in as NEW and unmodified...which kind of means I am constantly doubling up on my work...
    Anyone know how I can get back to the old Sync settings?
    Thanks,

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)

  • I just downloaded itunes 10.6 and it will not allow me to edit song info! Why?

    why won't itunes 10.6 allow me to edit song info?

    Have you moved your iTunes library recently? Are you using a different profile?
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administer privileges.
    Also in iTunes properties tap the read-only check box until it clears, then click OK. When prompted apply the change to the folder and all files and subfolders.
