IBooks previews the another book's cover page upon opening

Hi there,
I am using iBooks Author. I have created a few books. When more than one book is on the shelf, and I go to open one of them, another book's cover page comes up instead. The content is correct, but it references another cover. If I close and go to another book, it does the same thing. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe 80% of the time. Does anyone know how to fix this bug?
Thank you.

Hey guys, I opened up a new discussion on this in another thread but I'll try to consolodate it here.
Essentially, I'm looking for a more permanent fix of this issue.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Also, where would be the best place to inform Apple of this bug?
My original post is here:

  • Can someone make iBooks have the Option to view 2 pages in landscape mode so it can use up all the pixel real estate?

    Can someone make iBooks have the Option to view 2 pages in landscape mode so it can use up all the pixel real estate?
    Apple usually does this for OSX and its great when compared to windows where it doesnt use up all the real estate for viewing applications like websites and pdf files but when it comes to iBooks, it feels like there is no apple touch to it and is limited.
    If steve jobs were still alive, i bet there wouldnt be this problem >.>
    Please consider this as a real problem for people out there who would like to see 2 pages in landscape mode with pdf files and not just epub files.
    Thanks!

    Penguin, do you always insult people on here or was I just a special case?
    If you read the statement carefully, which you obviously did not! I was speculating, and I did not say anything for certain about knowing or not knowing ...
    I'm happy for the reply to the post and helpful link you posted to where I can leave some feedback for my post on an Apple monitored site but i rather you not reply if your gonna leave a snyde remark with every helpful comment.
    Don't do it again. and Thanks for the help.

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

  • An ad for cnn floats at the top of every web page I open in safari and won't go away

    For some reason an ad for the CNN ios app is permanently stuck at the top of all web pages I open in safari. There is an x for closing the ad, but clicking the x does nothing. The ad also covers part of webpages which is extra annoying and occasionally I am pulled to the App Store for no reason.
    Thanks

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

  • Mail and address book continue to crash upon opening - iPhone related???

    Ever since I synced my iphone last night I cannot open my mail app or the address book app. Everytime I open them they crach before getting open. Any thoughts?
    I I delete my prefs will I loose my mail accounts and address book file? Also if I delete prefs should I do a restart? then try and open the apps again?
    I have already tried to repair permissions.
    Here is the text from report that the app wants to send to apple... http://pastie.caboo.se/75012

    As long as you copy user>library>mail folder to somewhere else, you will NOT lose your mail in/out/sent and accounts informations.
    Give it 24 hours. It's been 20 hours so far. Things will get fixed and hashed out.
    Worry not.

  • Is there a way to set links from the book title / cover page?

    Mavens!
    I am attempting to design an interactive decision tool with iBooks Author and would like to set some hyperlinks from the actual book cover to avoid the linear book experience.
    Is there a way to do this?
    The widget inspector greys out when you select "Book Title"  in the side bar.
    Ciao

    I found it thank you. Need to highlight name then press delete button

  • IBooks with the same tittle and cover, are possible?

    Hello.
    I have a free account and I'm planning to upload a free iBook, a short version of my future iBook.
    Later, I'll have a paid account and I will want to sell the iBook full version, with the same tittle and cover.
    Is it possible?
    Thankyou very much.

    They are two different accounts - so  yes  whatever is in your free book - can be delivered to  the paid book account.
    Obvioulsy  if you do that, you may wish to  remove teh free book from the iBooks store.
    Do this by openeing iTunesConnect > Manage your Books, select the  book you want to  remove and using Pricing and Territories... removes the book from all 51 stores.
    You can never actually delete the  book, what you do is "hide" it from the store and  it becomes unavavailable online.

  • How to show the pdf from the iPad in the new iBooks on the Mac Book Pro?

    I have several books in PDF format on my iPad 4 but for some reason they persistently REFUSE to appear in the iBooks on my Mac book Pro (haven't checked the iPhones). The new iBooks brags that we can ontinue reading our books where we left from one device to the other, and since most of my interesting books are in PDF, how can I access this feature? What if I create a book with a iBook creator, will it show?
    Thank you very much for your answers...

    I figured it out (for me anyway) for syncing via USB or WiFi.
    My PDFs in iBooks Mac weren't showing up in iBooks iOS & this is how I fixed it - it's syncing seamlessly now
    I went to iTunes for Mac
    Clicked on my device e.g. iPad
    Clicked on 'Books' from along the menu that says 'Summary - Apps - Tones' etc.
    Ticked the 'Sync Books' checkbox
    Selected the 'All books' button, making sure that under the menu ('Books') I had selected 'Books and PDF files'
    And then pressed the sync button at the bottom right of iTunes. It worked.
    It's a 'set it and forget it solution' - after doing this I no longer need to interact with iTunes for syncing PDFs & books. Even when I rename collections on iBooks Mac, it transfers seamlessly across to iBooks on my iPad/iPhone via Wi-Fi.
    Hope that helps - it certainly wasn't obvious to me.
    Best,
    Haider

  • In the new tab yahoo search page is opening everytime. How can I get rid of it and just get a blank page instead?

    whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.

    This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
    Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again?

  • How do I get the export value of a combox upon opening a document?

    I can't find a way to access the currently selected export value from a combobox upon opening a PDF document (without a keystroke event), so I'm using a very ugly trick (I have a function with a switch statement that returns a value that matches the export value, based on the current combo face value.
    Isn't there a way to retrieve the export value of a combo box upon opening a document?
    Thanks!
    Fred

    The following code segment is for the change event of a comboBox.
    Whenever a selection is made I want to populate a Form Field with the face value of the comboBox.
    This isn't working - and I can't determine why -
    it appears that I am not dereferencing the text properly - but this is my best effort based on my knowledge.
    Can anyone help with this ?

  • Book title/cover page not appearing in exported file?

    Hello, for some reason my book title page on the exported file does not appear the same as my preview copy.
    On my bookshelf, my preview copy (which has a small 'proof' flash) has the cover design as produced in the Author app.
    I have exported the file for somebody else to check the contents of file, when they download and open the file in iBooks the file has a white cover with 'Book Title' on it, not the design that appears in the preview file.
    Many thanks

  • TS1702 Previously purchased book on iBooks, previously read. Still visible on iBooks on the iPad. When I attempt to open the book now, I get the message: "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." Help.   Larry

    On iBooks app on iPad: When trying to open a previously purchased and read book, I get the message "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing."    How can I open the book again?      Larry107

    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
    Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
    If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions.

  • After automatic update to firefox 23, the wlecome to firefox/ Android page always opens

    The automatic updater did the update to Firefox 23 several days ago. Since then, when I open Firefox the add-on compatibility check runs before Firefox opens, and Firefox always opens to the Welcome to Firefox page that wants me to connect my PC with an Android phone. Considering that I don't have an Android phone, it is annoying to have to close that tab before I do anything else.
    Previous updates took me to the welcome page only the first time I opened Firefox after the update. At least this time Firefox didn't try to change my home page from the one I choose to the Google search page. I can search from the toolbar if I want to; I don't need Firefox to open to the Google search page.

    Thanks, that took care of this problem. Now I can go back to last week's sync problem and try those solutions.
    I did have to reset my home page to the one of my choice, but that didn't take very long. I might find a few other things I need to set again, but sometimes it's nice to clean the slate so to speak and start fresh.
