When you need a new vacuum cleaner or whatever do you go to a farmer's market and cross your fingers

I actually like my Lenovo, but somehow the bottom part where the keyboard sits has suddenly lifted open, by the corner of the screen's hinges or whatever.

this new desktop ibooks app is absolutely terrible. it's hidden the library of books I had in iTunes. It's fucked up the metadata on that library. I can't edit that metadata back. It seems permanently confused about what to do next - spinning wheels, crashes. It feels really insultingly half-arsed.

The iBooks is at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books but I have nfc on how to decode file names yet.

Relevant post from discussions.apple.com
TN-JohnnyRe: All the iBooks for Mavericks problems I've foundNov 7, 2013 12:42 AM (in response to Mr Helix)I believe Apple have been taking the initiative of moving towards an object-oriented mode of interaction for the user with their data, rather than have users deal with data on a file-level. In this design and UI/UX method, users interact with objects, such as photos, books, and music tracks, contrary to working with photo files, book files, and music files. The main advantage from a user-experience perspective, whereby a book “object” would not just comprise of the contents of the file, but a set of metadata as well, which makes it an actual “virtual book”, and not just a file. This optimizes the organization, interaction, and utilization of the resource for the user, and renders a more natural form of one’s interaction with their data. With such an approach there is a plethora of advantages that can be implemented on the filesystem and OS side as well, whereby they would be able to enhance many elements such as filesystem performance, journaling, etc. to say the least. I am definitely with such a move, as it enhances computing in general, in the long run. BUT, Apple’s approach with most of their enhancements tends to be rather sporadic, and you end up having to deal with a lot more pain before you get to the gain. And here we have a prime example in the case of the abysmal iBooks app in Mavericks. Apple overlooked the fact that they are breaking the current setup that people are running in order to keep their data in place; and this is where I disagree with Apple. I went ape sh** when I saw that iBooks had somewhat consumed my eBooks, and was enraged by the fact that I couldn't even clean up the new book library now that the app “took over”. At least give me the option to not abide by your new system, or at least warn me, or give me some info so I can know how to work with this “new method” that you decided to force on me... and implement it all the way before you decide to have it take over my personal data. As of the current release, the iBooks app is a bit of a lost child; it should either become more like iPhoto (object-oriented), or more like iTunes (more file oriented), but not stay right smack in the middle where it just doesn’t work.

thanks elvis - I had found the library but was annoyed at how hidden it was. My filenames okay, because it's mostly pdfs, but I can see a couple of epubs that it's done something strange to.
that's a good post & otm about the change. I guess the app won't get better quickly – books don't matter much to Apple afaict – so I'll switch to something else. That isn't Calibre.

Do you have a clone of your hard drive

Definitely the shift-lock key.

unfortunately i opted against the bootable copy for space considerations so i just have a CCC files-only backup that's over two weeks old.. which is better than nothing but i'd rather get those 2 weeks back. lesson learned i guess /:

Would you like to install updates now or later tonight? HOW ABOUT WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT.

how about apple turns it off.
seriously, when I get in my car, the radio's where I left it. the windshield wipers don't come on in case it's raining. it doesn't ask me if I want to put it in drive now or after i back up.
it does lock my doors automatically, and yes, i hate that.
