Format ibook G4

I was given an ibook that needs to be restored, the dvd player does not work.. Is there a way to format with out disks? Help would be so appreciated.
Thanks

Duane,
It didn't sound like he was missing the install discs, just needed a way to get the OS on the machine with a broken DVD drive, or without the use of the discs.

Regardless of what format you want to use, you can't publish in the iBookstore without meeting Apple's requirements, so if you find those too difficult, you need to go elsewhere.

About vertical format (iBooks Author)

Hello people! This is my first entry, but not the first time I check for your support. This is because I can't figure something out, so you might help me a little.
This is my problem: some creative son of his/her mother decided to propose vertical covers for the electronic books, my guees is because of the display on the virtual shelf. You following me? VERTICAL
BUT, this creative son of his/her mother, decided to propose only horizontal designs inside the books. Am I the only crazy person who see this (HORIZONTAL)??
iBooks Author solve this problem with a large .pdf ugly thing. I think is a gorgeous thing to be able to design in both formats (call that a smart book? I think it's BRILLIANT!). But to make coherent designs, means to keep BOTH proposals similars. You following me?
So, let's think a little about proposing a vertical format (let's say you already did the horizontal format, or you just don't want to do it): who decided to make an infinite .pdf from start to end, scrolling it down?? Why can't I do the "figer thing" to change the pages like the horizontal version?
I have loose a great deal of my time trying to design correctly a vertical format book. Why? Because it was published that way, it was conceived that way, and it amaze me how difficult all the apps makes my life because of a single thing: a stupid vertical format. And I don't want to publish a .pdf, don't want it to look as an ugly .pdf, don't want it to look like the exported file wants it because it was not designed that way! And I'm in a corner, thinking about my little possibilities left.
Do I have to design my book with a crooked head and tell the people they must block their iPads in order to read it right, and to "scrool" the pages "upside down" istead of "right to left"? How ridiculous is that?
Forget about the rest of the apps: even if they allow me to design a vertical format, when I publish the illustrated book, all the elements will move, no matter how many times I block them. I have done it right and I have done it wrong (like exporting a full size page, image and text included), and it still bothers me how stupid the apps can behave. They are like incompetent employees: totally freaks me out.
Do I really have to design a new app for a single illustrated vertical book with no interactions at all? It looks idiotic. But I might be the idiot here, though I don't think so (not this time)
Thank you very much and please forgive my english. Hope I make myself clear enough.

Already done. But on the iPad I only have a large vertical book, can't "change pages with the figer", but scrooling up to reach the bottom.
What do you mean with "satisfy both"? Landscape and portrait? (sorry, I really must check everything because of the language). Why I would disable portrait when I want it to be in that format (and luckily ONLY in that format)?
Poor KT, you look so helpless in your photo. I'm really sorry if I sound that dumb

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
OS X 10.4 initially came as a DVD, just to make sure you know that.
Do you have access to another Mac with FireWire? If so, you may be able to do it via F.J.'s instructions here:

Hey everyone,
I have been dealing with various problems with my 2 year old iBook G4 lately, so I finally decided to format it. However, I lost the cd s that came with my computer so i just want to use the cd s that came with the macbook (intel processor) that I bought recently.
Do you think the cd s will work?
I hold down "c" and my computer tries to boot using the cd, but then it says "kernel panic: we are hanging here" and stuff.. starts with platform not found... etc... 6,7.
Anybode know what this means??

The disks that came with your Macbook will not work on your iBook, but you've kinda seen that already

How do I publish and ibook for free without a credit card

I am working with a teacher to publish her students work to the iBooks store. We are trying to download iTunes Connect. She has tried to use her account and keeps hitting snags. Her account information is correct but keeps getting rejected. So I tried the school's account that was set up without a credit card. The account is good but my error message is the account requires a credit card. Isn't free, free? We are just trying to get her students' work published. SHe has found the authoring of books very engaging to her remedial students. The project falls short at this time until we get the publishing part fixed. So, help!
Thanks

It is all about iBook author.
In that case, other ebook stores will not be helpful, because iBA produces a special format (.ibooks) that only the iBookstore will accept (and which can only be read on an iPad, no other device). It can also produce .pdf format, which is usable anywhere, but does not offer the same features.
The best way to distribute .ibooks format without a credit card would be via email attachment or putting it on a server for downloading by readers.
For other bookstores you would normally produce in .epub format (which can be read on any device, like .pdf). iBooks Author can't do that, but the Pages app can.

EPub conversion of a book made by iBooks Author ?

To get a book made by iBooks Author, into the iBookstore, a ePub format has to be "available" when applying for a iTunes account
(Able to deliver book content in EPUB format, passing the latest version of EpubCheck)
Does iBooks Author convert to ePub ?
Or is this ePub format not required when using iBooks Author?

Hello Niki,
It's all seems a bit confusing doesn't it? Here's my explanation ... Historically, to add a book to the Apple iBookstore, the file needed to be in epub format and pass a valadition check. So, we all learned how to do that. Now, Apple has added a new format, .ibook. To make books in this format all you do is create a book using iBook Author. There is no need to convert ibooks made in iBooks Author into epub. They meet Apple's specifications. In fact, ibook is a type of epub.
So now we all have to ways to get books into the Apple iBookstore: epub AND iBook Author.

Les contenus iBooks Author deviennent-ils la propriété de Apple à la publication ?

Bonjour,
je cherche à cerner les différentes solutions de publication digitale dont celle de Apple, très intuitive et facile à prendre en main. Mais une question juridique me tarrode. Les oeuvres publiées via iBooks author deviennent-elles tacitement la propriété d'Apple ? Je lance cette question suite à une rumeur. J'aimerais en avoir le coeur net. Merci pour vos contributions.

Incapable de le publier en format EBooks on me dit fichier corrompu ou pas le bon format de fichier

Lorsque j'exporte en format Ebooks pour le déposer dans mon Dropbox, au lieu d'être en format Ibook, il est en format feuille et il est impossible de l'ouvrir. Il me dit fichier corrompu, ou mauvais format de fichier. Pourtant, je l'ai envoyé avant lorsque j'avais 7 chapitres et maintenant, il est terminé, j'ai 10 chapitres et je l'ai sur mon Ipad, mais je suis incapable de le déposer ni d'envoyer le lien pour que quelqu'un d'autres le mettre sur son Ipad.

Two errors in iBooks, resulting in failure to open books

I recently downloaded a new book in iBooks on my iPad and got the error message, "It is formatted incorrectly or not in a format iBooks can open." In addition, some other iBooks that I have been reading now fail to open, with the message "the requested resource is missing." I have tried deleting and re-downloading the books. No help. Any thoughts?

I've tried the hard reset but I still get the sam message regarding incorrect format. Are there any other options?

How do I add a -pdf.acsm book to my iPad library?

Help....
After lengthy reading on an independent bookstore site (Powell's in Portland, OR) I purchased and downloaded 2 e-books to my iMac (10.6.8; Intel Core 2 Duo) and then tried to put them into my iTunes library to add to my iPad 2, whose software I just updated.
Nothing seems to work.
any suggestions?

Mskathk-
A websearch found a note that the pdf.acsm is not the book, but only the "key". Apparently it requires that the Adobe Digital Edition program has been installed on your computer. If the program is installed, double clicking the pdf.acsm file should download the book.
Suppose you are successful in using Adobe Digital Edition program to download the actual books. Are you sure they will be in a format that the iPad can use?
I'm not sure what all formats iBooks can read, but have been able to read epub and pdf books downloaded from different websites.

Best App to create hand written Annotations with Epub Files

Hello,
I have been doing alot of experimenting with various apps. I have yet to find one that i like. While i would say that Apple ibooks handles the Epubs the best i have seen so far, there are a couple of issues i can't get around.
What i want to do is study my reading material just like i do with a book. So while i can obviously highlight very easily in the ibooks, i can not circle a part of a page and draw and arrow back to something else that i am making a connection with in my mind. I also would rather have handwritten Notes verse the yellow sticky note format ibooks does it now.
Do you know of any way to do this in ibooks, or know of any other app that lets you draw directly on the epub so that i can later reference the connections i had while studying? It seems like a basic feature to me. I do want this to be as pen and paper like as possible.
I did find that GoodReader does a great job with PDF at doing just htis thing but it does not support epub.
thanks.

Hello RoberRM,
I am sorry that I can not give you a convenient solution for our problem. I finally went the same path like with my first book: I mainly target at students with iPads, so I decided to get the best out of iBooks Author to get the full palette of features. I simply did not want to stumble into experiments with uncertain results.
Maybe later on I will go the hard way to copy and paste text and latex part of the books into pages. I will see if it will be worth the efforts...
Besides this the workflow in iBA is simply more effective and time saving. So, at the moment for me everything points into the iBooks Author direction.
Maybe in later versions we will have ways to export into other formats.
Bye and good luck with your work!!

How to add a voiceover?

I'm creating a picture book and I want to add a voiceover.
I don't want to use an automatic iBooks voice that reads the text -- I want to use a voiceover artist, so I'll be adding a recording to the book. Each page will have its snippet of voiceover.
Can I do this with iBooks Author?
-- Can I add a voiceover so each page has its associated voiceover snippet?
-- How do I add a sound file? I don't see a menu command for this.
-- What type of file do I need to use for the sound file?
Thanks.

pdaddy, the book you refer to was created with ePub rather than with iBooks Author. The telling part is in the left hand column about requirements for the book: "Requirements:This book requires iBooks 1.3 or later and iOS 4.2 or later. Books can only be viewed using iBooks on an iPad, iPhone (3G or later), or iPod touch (2nd generation or later)."
If the book is created with iBooks Author it requires iBooks 2.0 or later.
The book that you refer to and its voiceover capabilities are part of the ePub fixed layout capabilities since iBooks 1.2. iBooks Author creates a different file format (.ibooks) than fixed layout ePub (.ePub) which require different tools to create.
For more information on how to create fixed layout ePub books for use with the iBooks App (inclusive of read aloud features) you can see some links and tips from Jake Russel here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18468382

Kobo e-readers

Can I transfer books from my Kobo e-reader to the iBooks library? I can't find a Kobo app for the iPod touch and I want to continue reading a book I have on my Kobo e-reader.

Can I transfer books from my Kobo e-reader to the iBooks library? I can't find a Kobo app for the iPod touch and I want to continue reading a book I have on my Kobo e-reader.
Not sure. If you can get the ebooks on Mac, maybe you can convert them to something the iPod can read using Calibre
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
While there may not be a Kobo ereader, maybe Stanza may be a reasonable substitute, as well as Apple's iBook.
According to Wikipedia, Kobo reads plain text, PDF, and ePub formats. iBook and Stanza (as well as other ebook readers) can read ePub.
The only limitation might be if the ebook has DRM, and whether it is a proprietary encryption, or if it uses a standard that other ereaders can decode.

Duplication of profile info (re: Model/OS/Other Details) in 'preview'

I'm wondering if this is a bug re: composing messages.
If I 'preview' a message, that message is tagged with profile information re: my computer. If I then return to the message and edit it, the same information is again entered in the same message when I post it, resulting in duplication of that profile data.
The only way I've found to avoid that is to manually delete the information while still in preview, before returning to edit the message.
Is there another way?
Thanks.

"Is there another way?"
No.
Of course, you can always make use of that extra set of profiles & copy and paste within the Discussions' formatting tags to make your message 'different' - until they get it fixed, that is…
There's lots you can do with Discussions' formatting…
