How long does it take for an uploaded iBook to appear in the store?

I successfully uploaded a free iBook to the store using iBook Author this morning. I still haven't seen it appear or, if it's there, I can't find it. Is there a delay between a successful upload (iBook Author said it was successful) and it's appearance online?

I submitted one book last Saturday using the iBooks Author 'publish' button. It created a 'package' and started up iTunes Producer automatically. I added some 'meta' data but it already seemed to have my book data (contents etc. from the package) and so I continued the process. One of the last items was to upload some screen shots. I prepared a few without seeing anything about the proper size. There are 3-4 APPROVED sizes. The first time I submitted the book I got an error message to the effect that the sceenshots were the wrong size ;-) it took my careful reading of the size spec and a couple more submissions before I was able to get an OK on the upload. The book and meta data appeared on the iTunes Connect website shortly after. About Tuesday I got an email from Apple saying my screenshots were the wrong size and to re-submit. I assumed that was generated by my first submission (when I got the error message) and thought I should wait until they get to the successful submission. I replied to the first email but haven't heard anything since. I'm sure they are busy. I think I'll try re-submitting today and hopefully not clog up the system too much. In the mean time (it is a free book for now), I can distribute it to my students for their comments.
On a related topic. I still see only the original nine books when I look for textbooks? Are they somewhere else? That is why I asked if anyone had seen their textbook on the iTunes store and how they found it.

  • How Long does it take for a NEW PODCAST to appear in iTunes?

    I was curious if maybe you know the answer to this question- How long does it take for a brand new podcast, once submitted to iTunes, to appear in the podcast section of iTunes? Does it really take 5 days? And, will I receive an email once it's on there? Thanks!

    Hi,
    I found the answer to this question after doing two podcasts.
    It takes about week and half to be fully listed. When you first submit you receive an automated email. Emailed to the email address of your podcast feed. Then your podcast page is created for itune store and you receive another email that it's approved. You should receive this email sometimes two days after you received the first but it still won't be browse able until another few weeks(ie. listed in category). In the mean time don't remove your podcast feed file from your hosting account and don't make changes which will change the link to the feed you submitted.
    The only other part I couldn't figure out was why podcasts episodes don't come up when keywords from episode sections of podcast feed are typed in itune search box.
    -keep on keepin' on

    Good luck with it :)

  • How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

    I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick.  Drag and drop should be how this works.  So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen).  It appeared to upload just fine.  So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone.  And no document.
    I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient?  Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices?  I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

    It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection.  I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site.  I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
    Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts.  iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

  • How long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase

    how long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase? I used a $15 gift card, it was redeemed, and it showed up in my itunes account on my phone but after buying songs, the credit did not decline from 15, even after I restarted itunes on my phone.

    Nt sure on O2, but that seems to be a long time, you need to call your carrier and make sure they dont need to activate it. I believe they do.

    Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

  • How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

    How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

    There are three major portions involved in a restore:
    1.  Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
    2.  Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
    3.  Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
    Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed.  We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
    Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
    Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone.  It might take minutes, or an hour or more.

  • How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped?

    How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped. I ordered my iphone on sept 20 6:00 pm and right next to the "preparing to ship" it still says 7-10 days and apple already took the money out of my account?

    Apple.com has notoriously given very accurate assessments of their ship dates.  Keep checking back there for updates.  The place to look is in the Store ... find the "Account" button near the upper right.
