I just started using Books today. While using the application, I added a book that didn't have a cover image with it. I read in another post that while your...
Just open the "Get Info" window, click on the photo and press "delete". You didn't say what filetype your cover image was, but whenever I need cover art that...
Thanks for the delete tip. But while I could open the get info window for a book that had a photo, the book that had a picture from Photobooth that couldn't...
... Books doesn't have any limits for cover sizes. ... This is a bug in the current version. It's on my list of things to fix. ... Books stores files at ...
Thanks for the location info Chris. I went and played around with adding images again. I confirmed that when I dropped photos from inside the Photo Booth...
... Thanks for the report. I'll look into this. You can copy and paste images into the cover well, so it's surprising that it doesn't work with PhotoBooth...
I seem to detect some confusion on how to add images to books, CDs, magazines. Here's a quick and easy (dirty?) way of doing it. Find or scan the cover needed....
I am using version 3.1.10. I can not add my data such as "Date started' or Date Finished". How do you add that data? The quick fill works just fine but I...
It appears to me that I need to add (type the field name) into the "extended info " window then enter the value for each new book. I view the books in the...
Hello - I'm new to this forum, and fairly new to Books. When i installed Books, its various files were put in /username/Library/Application support. Is it...

The built in iSight camera in my aluminum iMac isn't working very well for scanning UPCs. Books' help file says other cameras can be used to scan books, but I...
I'm not really sure what I should do in this kind of situation, other than entering it all in by hand, which I'd rather not do. I have the book 'Illusive -...
I can't imagine why it isn't finding it on Amazon with Quickfill, but on my system, it just searches and searches without returning anything. Chris may be able...
Thanks. I changed the search to Library of Congress and it came up fine. It wasn't hard to find a cover image then. It's weird it won't show up in Amazon. Ah...
There doesn't seem to be a system preference to choose the default camera. However, you can change cameras in the iChat preferences. What happens if you select...
... No effect. The iSight still turns on even when iChat is set to use the DV cam. Books doesn't use a separate driver for the camera than the OS, does it? The...

... You're probably not doing anything wrong. I bet that the Bookpedia import format has changed since that plugin was written. I'll take a look at it this...

I am not sure what happened here because I sent this message many months ago and my problem has since been resolved! I certainly did not resend it a couple of...
No worries. I probably just reapproved a message that had been stuck in my mailbox for too long. I'm glad to hear that the problem isn't an issue any more. :-)...
