Re: Amazon Search Not Working (Bookpedia)

For me, it is the Bruji downloaded version 6.2.1 - not the Mac App Store version [I've never bought the MAS version I don't think]. The About screen shows no beta markings - just 6.2.1 and my serial number under it. I'd gladly send anyone a zip version of the app [though the preferences that contain...

Glad it also works in DVDPedia! No problem! It's a time-saver for me [I've run an online used bookstore using Bookpedia since 2008, so I have a gazillion items stored in it!]

Re: Amazon Search Not Working (Bookpedia)

Just a small update - I was easily able to take the same group of 73 items and scan their barcodes using only Amazon US as the source in version 6.2.1. This was done within 10 minutes of trying to do the same group of 73 items [DVDs/Books/AudioBooks] with version 7.0 of Bookpedia and having it fail ...

Re: Amazon Search Not Working (Bookpedia)

Don't know if this helps, but Amazon searching [using Amazon Test] has been working perfectly fine for me with version 6.2.1. I upgraded to version 7 today, still using Amazon Test, and Amazon search no longer finds any results [I use multi-add ++ and my barcode scanner to enter several 100 items at...

Bookpedia 7.0 changelog?

Hi all, I don't visit here as often as I should [busy running a successful online used bookstore using Bookpedia to power my inventory and sales records!]. I noticed a new version was pushed out via software update recently, but the changelog screen shows the version I have installed. I am unsure wh...

Re: Sync between Macs

Has this better (safer) sync between 2 Macs been implemented by now? We are at v6.2.1 I'd love to know this too, as I am having major data loss using Dropbox [Bookpedia being used on the same Dropbox database on 2 Macs in different physical locations, but Bookpedia is never running on both Macs at ...

Re: Cloud Sync between mac apps, PocketPedia on iPhone and o

I really miss on CDPedia a way to automatically sync my collection between the app, PocketPedia on my iPhone and PocketPedia on Apple TV. I have synced the Pedias automatically between my Macs (desktop and laptop) and between user accounts on those Macs by having the Pedia databases on Dropbox. Thi...

Re: Continual Amazon issues

A quick followup - using my own Affiliate credentials none of these issues are happening for me [I finally got a sale using my affiliate links - I should really publish them more!]. The speed of the scans is also back to normal, and the bug that keeps coming back with multi add has gone away which m...

Continual Amazon issues

Using Amazon Test [because nobody has purchased any items via a website I have my affiliate link up on for a month], I get 90% miss rates on all the items I scan. This makes for a very, very slow data entry process. This is 100% reproducible for me. I use a USB barcode scanner on a book such as &quo...

Re: Wrong book added

I don't have a camera as a scanner - I use a USB Metrologic barcode scanner and this is using the multi-add ++ feature. I've noticed that depending if I use the Amazon Test vs my own Amazon Affiliate info, I get different results. My own Amazon affiliate creds will only allow certain kinds of media ...

Wrong book added

Using beta 132, without Amazon Test [using my own creds]. I scan a book with this ISBN into the Multi ++ add box: 9780875847191 The result put into Bookpedia with Amazon US as the only source is: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Resource-Champions-Delivering-Results/dp/B002SESEAO?camp=2025&creative=...

Re: Amazon search no longer works

Because I use Bookpedia for my bookstore, when i am adding items into it, I'm doing so in large groups [dozens of items], so they get scanned via a USB Metrologic barcode scanner. I typically scan in groups, wait for all the items to be added to a collection, and then multi-edit several fields from ...

Re: Amazon search no longer works

If you search by ASIN directly do you get the proper result as well or just when using the cog wheel? Do try signing out of Amazon in Safari as a test and then searching. I might be overlooking some advertised books. Before I put my own Amazon Associates/Affiliate info in, the only way to get the p...

Re: Amazon search no longer works

Since I have a lot of books to enter, I did some playing around. I was able to get Bookpedia to give the proper results only when not using Amazon Test from the Help Menu and instead using my own Affiliate/Associates ID instead.
