Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

    Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

    No problem, Peter. iBooks Author makes a lot of things much easier than trying to grapple with a standard epub, but it also has some big limitations, like iPad only, and ibookstore only.
    EDIT It's not really suitable for something like a novel, for example, although it's great when you need lots of illustrations and movies and such.

  • Can't create Ringtone for iPhone

    everytime I click on the ringtone symbol next to the song I want, it says that I need to accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service and that by clicking 'OK' it will direct me to that. Thing is, I've already accepted that and when I click OK, it does nothing. It's becoming a real pain..any ideas?

    I sent iTunes support a note about that and although they didn't answer my question directly, they got me around it. For what's worth, it did work; however, now I have a new problem. Long story short, don't create more than one ring tone for now. I'll post my crap about that momentarily...
    Here's what they wrote:
    First I want you to try to create a ringtone with the following steps:
    1) If you haven't already, upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, which is available free of charge on the iTunes website:
    http://www.itunes.com/download
    2) Open iTunes, access the iTunes Store, and look at a few songs. A bell icon next to a song indicates that you can make a ringtone from the song. The bell icon does not mean that the song itself is a ringtone. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK. A ringtone column will appear and any eligible songs will have bells next to them. Purchase any ringtone-eligible song you like.
    3) Now click Purchased in the list on the left. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK.
    4) Click the bell next to a song to begin making a ringtone. The ringtone editor will appear at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    5) Adjust the highlighted area to choose the part of the song (up to 30 seconds) you want to use as your ringtone. You can also choose to fade in or out the audio by clicking the checkboxes in the highlighted area.
    6) Select a "Looping" length, which will set the gap between each ring. Click Preview to hear your ringtone before purchasing. Once you're satisfied with your ringtone, click Buy. Your iTunes Store account will be charged 99 cents plus any applicable taxes. Any song credits or video credits that may be on your account will not be used toward the purchase.
    7) Your ringtone will appear in your iTunes library Ringtones playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.
    8) To sync the ringtone to your iPhone, connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone on the left and click Sync. iTunes will automatically sync any ringtones you create. To sync specific ringtones, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Ringtones tab, choose Selected ringtones, and click Apply. Check the ringtones you want to sync and click Sync.
    Please note that any ringtones you have previously synced to your iPhone will be replaced with the ringtones that you are currently syncing from your authorized iTunes library.
    To set a ringtone as your default ringtone, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the Settings icon, then tap Sounds. Tap Ringtone, then choose a ringtone. This will become your default ringtone.
    To assign a ringtone to a specific contact, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the the Phone icon, then go to your Contacts. Choose a contact, then tap Ringtone and choose the ringtone. When that contact calls, you will hear that ringtone.
    Please note that iTunes creates ringtones for iPhone only, and the ringtones you create with your iTunes Store account may not be transferred to other accounts. Also note that even if you create a ringtone from iTunes Plus (DRM-free) content, the purchased ringtone will include DRM-protection.

  • Creating folios for iphone using a pdf-to-indesign script

    Hello, i need to convert all my magazines to iphone format. Someone can help me with the script using pdf-to-indesign for IPHONE? Or an alternate solution to convert all my magazines (1024 x 768) to Iphone (480 x 320)? Thanks a lot!!

    Working with Derek directly did the trick!
    The difficulty with the script is that it requires everything to be in "alphabetical order." What that means is that when you split the files in Acrobat into individual PDFs, everything needs to be in "alphabetical order" and Acrobat does not do that the way this script requires.
    So Acrobat gives me 1_ISSUE24.pdf, 2_ISSUE24.pdf and if I had 9 pages, that wouldn't be an issue. But I had over 200 pages for a specific issue and when you get to page 10, you're no longer working in alphabetical order if the single page numbers don't have a 0 in front of them.
    So if you have up to 99 pages, make sure every page with a single page number has a 0 in front of it, e.g. 01_ISUEE24.PDF
    If you have up to 999 pages, make sure every page with a single page and double page number has two 0's in front it., e.g. 001_ISSUE24.PDF
    Unless there's a program out there that will automatically put 0s in front of filenames for you, you have to do this manually, which is slightly time consuming. FAR LESS time consuming, however; than re-sizing everything yourself and doing this the old fashioned way with cut and paste, etc. etc. etc.
    So the script is extremely helpful, it's free - you just have to have your page numbers numbered correctly.
    Thank you, Derek, for your time and your help.

  • Can't drag image into widgets using ibooks author

    i have ibooks author 2.0 and i'm running on 10.8.2. i was working on ibooks author and suddenly i couldn't drag any pictures into the widgets, not the Interactive Image, not the Gallery. In the Gallery widget i could get around it by manually inserting pictures (tediously) using the inspector, but there's no option for that using the Interactive Image widget. i've restarted the computer, hasn't made any difference, any help would be appreciated, thanks

    yes, it goes onto the page, but it won't go inside the widgets. i've also tried deleting and re-installing ibooks author and it hasn't resolved the issue

  • Can i create a back button in ibooks author?

    I know i can go to a videofile on for examlpe pag 20 making a textlink on page 1. but is it possible to create a back link to the page where i came from?

    K T, you're not quite right on this and ibooks does have a web-like back capability. if readers call up the top menu (by tapping a blank part of any page) and then click on the ribbon in the top right corner, there's a prominent option called "recently viewed" that takes them back to the page they were just on. This works exactly like a Back button or back JavaScript on a web page. it solves the problem with returning to your spot after u hit a bookmark link to a distant spot in an iBook.
    okay, so this functionality a) exists and b) is in the core ibooks menus, so why the eff can't apple give us a way to insert a far more user-friendly back button on the pages? please kick this up. it's b.s.
    j.b.

    hello
    i bought my first mac and i want to become an iOS developer and creat app for iPhone iPad but now i have only iPad 4 and i want to buy iPhone 5s but I'm not sure to buy iphone5s now or wait for iPhone 6 because iphone6 may have bigger screen if i buy iphone5s now can i creat app for iPhone 6 if it has bigger display without buying it just test it on iPhone 5s
    thanks

    One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
    So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

    Apple says: +"You should read this document if you want your web content to look good and perform well on either the desktop or iPhone OS..."+ :

    Also bear in mind that Apple says: +"...if your webpage is less than 980 pixels wide causing it to scale too small on iPhone..."+

  • Can I read a book in itunes, that I bought on my iphone using ibooks?

    Can I read a book in itunes, that I bought on my iphone using ibooks.  I can see the book listed in itunes, but can I read the book in itunes on my pc?

    No.  It is only showing in iTunes as part of the sync and backup aspect of iTunes.  An iBook is an epub formatted ebook, and is only readable in the iBook app, which is only available for Apple mobile devices.

  • Can you use iBooks Author to create for Newsstand

    Hi.If you create a book or magazine with iBooks Author can you then put it on Newsstand as well or would it need to be in a different format? Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you'd need to not only pay the annual USD$99 fee, you'd need to either have or develop the necessary skils....it's not what I would call a trivial effort, tho, so be prepared for a steep learning curve.
    The term 'app' is a general term for iOS applications, which can take many forms. An app that specifically targets Newsstand on your device would be configured by a dev to tell iOS about itself, etc. so that it works as intended. In general terms, the work to get it into the store is the same as any other app, but again, it won't reside on the homescreen on it's own...it will be found inside Newsstand the app.

  • I am a teacher and want to distribute a textbook I created using iBooks Author through Ibooks. We are not 1 to 1 and students share devices on a cart. Can I publish and distribute the book if it is used by multiple students?

    Title says it. I created a textbook using Ibooks Author and want to load it on my class set of 30 iPads that are used by 5 different groups of students throughout the day. It is not a 1 to 1 device. Is there a problem with doing this as the Apple ID would be a generic that downloads the content many times on each iPad for my students?

    The two processes are so unalike that you need to bone up on what they involve before answering, I think...you can't just shrug and expect specific help, sorry.
    See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support
    Distribution isn't automatically like iOS apps, where the store is involved by default.
    You are free to put your .ibook file on a school server/your own server, and anyone can download for free and use it, independent of any Apple ID and the app store. If you want to restrict to your school/students, put it behind a login.
    You can put it in the store as a free download and any Apple ID can download and use via any iTunes Account. If you sell via the store, each download/purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to facilitate that transaction. This is not a requirement.
    Again, you need to become more familiar with the distribution process and not worry so much about the Apple ID scheme involved at the moment so you can make an informed decision, I think

  • HT5071 How to download paid iBook created using iBook Author

    I would like to submit a paid iBook created using iBook Author and make it available to download in India. Apple does not support downloading paid iBooks in India. Is there a solution for this. Also, is there an enterprise deployment of iBooks ie limited distribution of paid iBook.

    Apple requires that books can only be sold through the Store. See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support for details otherwise.
