Re: iBooks issue

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Gary,

VO-s and VO-p both work for me, as do the commands for next sentence and next 
paragraph. One thing I just checked, my mouse pointer is sitting on my desktop, 
so have you got your mouse pointer following your VO Cursor and keyboard focus? 
If so, try setting the mouse pointer to ignore the other cursors. I always have 
this setting as I find that the mouse can destabilise VoiceOver.

Cheers,

Anne

How did you get VO to read a sentence or paragraph?  I tried VO + S, and VO + 
P, and neither worked for me.

Re: iBooks issue

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Anne,

I don't use Quicknav, so I wouldn't have figured that out.  I have had the same 
experience you write about when clicking on a book title.  I have been able to 
move around by pages, but not in a way that is consistent.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: iBooks issue

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Donna,

Like you, I can read with iBooks on my Mac with no trouble. However, a couple 
of things worth noting:
Having pressed VO-Space on a book title, I often have to turn VoiceOver off and 
back on again to be able to navigate;
The text area is to the right of the Previous Page button and it always goes 
busy for a short while before I can interact with it and read the book;
Quick Nav does not work in iBooks.

I can read by character, word, line, sentence or paragraph, but not by page. 
Read All works fine.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: iBooks issue

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

I haven't followed this thread from the beginning, but I'm surprised.  I agree 
that the IOS app is much better, but on my Mac iBooks works reasonably well.  
At least mostly.  The interface is kind of clunky, and I get more busy messages 
than I would like, but I have no problem reading book content.  I can read 
either by line, or just use VO-A to read continuously.  Odd that my experience 
would be different from that of so many of you.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: iBooks issue

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Gary,

I tried, just as you, to use IBooks on the mac a while back, as I was told it 
worked really well.  There is a possibility that in Yosemite, it did.  I 
confess that I never tried it prior to El Capitan.  I found almost identically 
the same results as you.  I could read a majority of the interface of the app, 
but the book content itself, regardless the book loaded, wouldn't read hardly 
at all.

I should add that this isn't the case on I O S.  On I O S, it works 
beautifully.  I did report this to Apple, but I never really followed up with 
them about it, as reading IBooks from the mac isn't really something I'd 
normally wish to do.  I'd prefer to just use my phone, or IPad and do it.  That 
however said, I definitely can confirm that I am  able to reproduce your issues.

Chris.

  I recently installed El Capitan and hadn’t used iBooks yet, but tried it just 
now.
  When I opened iBooks, I went to the book shelf table with my list of books 
and interacted with it.  I didn’t see another window/table with the contents, 
so I double-click on my book, to open it.  A window opened, but VO only dinged 
when I tried to move around.  I had to turn VO off and on in order to read the 
book.  If I interacted with the scroll area, I could only read my book a line 
at a time, but if I didn’t interact with it, VO would read all the text 
continuously.

Re: iBooks issue

[Gary]

I recently installed El Capitan and hadn’t used iBooks yet, but tried it just 
now.
When I opened iBooks, I went to the book shelf table with my list of books and 
interacted with it.  I didn’t see another window/table with the contents, so I 
double-click on my book, to open it.  A window opened, but VO only dinged when 
I tried to move around.  I had to turn VO off and on in order to read the book. 
 If I interacted with the scroll area, I could only read my book a line at a 
time, but if I didn’t interact with it, VO would read all the text continuously.

Re: iBooks issue

[Blee Blat]

Yup. Same here. Works lovely in iOS but OS X iBooks is a useless waste of disk 
space. Someone said it could be internet issues but that's not the case here 
since speed test shows I'm actually getting slightly more throughput than 
advertised by the ISP. So I think they've just broken something.

iBooks issue

[Juan Hernandez]

Hello All,

I wanted to know if people are having issues with iBooks?  When I open a book, 
I can’t seem to read it.  I place focus on the text, and interact with it.  but 
it makes iBooks go busy, or even restart/ lockup some.

I’m fully updated on my ox x 10.11.

If anyone has any ideas I’d really appreciate it.

Best

resolution of ibooks issue

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

Again, excuse cross-post, but want to provide info to both lists in case anyone 
needs it.

I called tech support again this morning, and finally got someone who knew what 
they were doing.  I don't understand why, but I was never able to re-download 
books from within the iBooks app, I had to do it by going into iTunes, iTunes 
store, and using the download all button.  That got all books back onto my 
computer.  We then went over to my phone, and the books then showed up on my 
phone.  I'm still a little unclear about what the issue was.  When I first went 
into iBooks on the phone, PDFs was selected, but that had not been the case 
before--I'm sure of this, because I tried selecting and unselecting it when I 
was working on this yesterday and nothing changed, I'm as suing I'd just left 
it selected after one of the many things I tried before..  But this time when I 
selected all books, my books were displayed properly.  So I'm assuming that 
re-downloading in iTunes did something, but I don't really know what.

So, I know they're not conclusive steps, and I wish I had more definitive 
advice to offer, but I would say that if you encounter this problem, try 
re-downloading through  iTunes.  then see if that makes them show up on the 
phone.

Cheers,
Donna

Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone

[Scott Howell]

Hi Esther, I tried this last night and encountered the same issue. I 
double-tapped the Free button and when nothing happen, I found a button that 
was labeled something similar to language English or something along those 
lines. I double-tapped that button and then was prompted for my iTUnes 
password. So, this appears to be some sort of accessibility issue.
It took me two tries to figure it out, but I must say, very interesting.

 Hi Blake and Joel,
 
 Try doing a double tap and hold on the button.  What's happening is that the 
 app is waiting for you to double tap the button again.  On the iPad, where 
 this all works, the button for the price or free changes into a Get Book 
 button that you double tap again to confirm your selection/purchase.  Then 
 you are prompted to enter your iTunes password.  What I had to do on my iPod 
 Touch was locate the button where Get Book should have shown up by moving 
 my finger up slightly from Get Sample button.  Then I toggled VoiceOver off 
 and tapped once in that location, and toggled VoiceOver back on.  I was at 
 the window where VoiceOver prompts you for you iTunes password, so I typed 
 that in and the book downloaded.  The second time, I tried a double tap and 
 hold on the button.  This might only have worked because my iTunes password 
 was still active, though.  I would report this as an accessibility issue.  
 The books did show up in my library after I typed in the iTunes password, but 
 I was experimenting with free books for this trial run.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Esther

iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone

I've noticed an undesirable happening with iBooks on my touch. Upon double

Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone

[Mary Otten]

Hi all,
I have installed the Ibooks app on my touch. I'm getting the impression that to 
purchase or just get free books, I have to do that from within the app; there 
is a 'store button. I was hoping I could shop on my Mac and synch up with the 
Touch, but I'm not seeing any sort of ibooks entry there except for the app 
itself in the Iphone section of the app store. Am I missing something obvious 
yet again? Or must one purchase ibooks on the device one wishes to read them on?
 Is there suppose to be a free book that comes along with the app? I'm not 
seeing anything installed. I see the bookshelf and title, author and category, 
which I presume are  ways of sorting the material. but my list is said to be 
empty, which would seem to indicate the absence of a sample test book with the 
app.
Mary
