My iBook has a blank page at the beginning of each chapter. How do I delete?

I have a blank page offset to the left at the beginning of each chapter. How do I delete them?

The first selectable template is "Basic"... the template - and any others have placeholder text and images excepting pages "Default" and Blank. The "Default" page accepts flowing text. "Blank" is just that with only any BG image and page numbering decided in the template.
Nothing you describe seems to be part of just opening a standard template.
Below are screen shots from the book tree and the layouts - these are the "Basic" template pages without any modifications.
Any of the pages shown in the tree can be deleted. Chapter and Sections will also delete any pages added under them.

Blank page at the beginning of the report

I have a Report with a Group Above. I wanted a new page when a new Group began, so I selected the Group and changed Page Break Before to yes. It did start a new page with each Group, BUT there is now a blank page at the beginning of the report. How do I get rid of the blank page?
Thanks, Wayne

Hi Wayne,
I don't know whether the solution provided by Jrg works for you or not. But I solved the problem in a different way.
Insted using a page break on a repeating frame, I placed a boilerplate item in a corner just below the frame with a " "(white space) and I set the boilerplace item's property "Page Break After/Before" to "Yes". You understand me? just cheating ;)
That worked for me.

Repeated pages at the end of each chapter on Ibooks

I have downloaded 2 books to both my Ipad and my Iphone. On my Iphone the last 5-8 pages of each chapter repeat. This problem is not on my Ipad. What can I do????

Same thing is happening to me! I read on my iphone during the day at work and then have to go back and read the pages i missed on my ipad when i get home (my ipad to too big to pull out in my cubicle...lol!). Here is the only response I got...simply delete and re-download it, and see if that fixes the issue. I'm going to give it a try...right after I finish this chapter! Good luck!

How to insert a new page at the beginning of a chapter

I tried to do that but not successful. Can we do that? What are the limitations of page/section adding on iBook Author?

Hi narin1975,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to add a page in your iBooks Author project. Take a look at the iBooks Author Help webpage below, it will walk you through adding or deleting pages, chapters and sections.
Add, reorder, or delete chapters, sections, and pages
http://help.apple.com/ibooksauthor/mac/#blsa47d9392
Add a new page
In the Book pane (shown above), select the chapter or section you want to add pages to.
Click Add Pages in the toolbar, and choose Pages > Option.
Tip: You can also add a new page by Control-clicking a page in the Book pane and choosing Insert Page from the shortcut menu. The new page uses the default layout for the chapter or section.
I hope this helps.

TOC at the beginning of every chapter

Hi,
I am working on a publication.
I included a TOC at the beginning of the document:
Chapter one
part one
part two
Chapter two
part one
part two
Chapter three ...
So far, so good, but I also want to include the same TOC at the beginning of each chapter,
this time only containing the part of the TOC that is relevant to that chapter:
for example: Chapter two should start witch a TOC, containing:
2. Chapter two
part one
part two
But it shouldn't contain any of the information about chapter 1 or 3.
Can this be done?
At the moment, my publication is just 1 long InDesign document, not an InDesign book or something...
I accomplish what I want by creating a TOC, and manually delete (for each chapter) the parts that aren't relevant to a specific chapter....
Any help would be appreciated...

I would create the TOC as a threaded story.
The first text frame(s) before the first chapter, second before the second, etc.
All that you would need to do then would be resize each text frame(s) to fit the correct part of the TOC for that chapter...

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

When I open safari, I get a blank page and the beach ball.

When I open safari, I get a blank page and the beach ball. If I try to go to a website, it will load up to a certain point sometimes—the .com of www.facebook.com for instance—but other times, nothing at all.
I've fixed this once before by deleting some files in the library folder—extensions & preferences I believe—and choosing not to have plug-ins selected, then restarting the whole computer—rather than just safari. It will work fine for a day, or maybe 3 at the most, before I have to repeat the process all over again. I'm sure it's because I usually put plug-ins back on once I get it to work, because you can't really use the internet without using plug-ins. But I'm using Chrome right now, as I do when I'm too lazy or too in a rush to try the whole process of getting safari to work again, and I don't have a single issue with it.
My question is really, what plug-in could cause this to happen repeatedly? It's not like I'm going to websites that may have malware on them. I spend most of my day going to some of the most visited websites on the internet.
Is there a known bug out there, because Java has been overrunning concurrently with this happening. It's CPU % runs around 100. I quit the process, but it doesn't change anything. So, other than the fan turning on, I have not had any popup telling me that safari has crashed, that I'm not connected to the internet, or that something went horribly, horribly wrong. I'm pretty sure Safari things it's running fine, but it's not.
Thanks in advance.

Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.

Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Implementing multiple page size requirement - extra blank page at the end

My XMLP report requirement is as follows.
- The report is printing a bunch of lines.
- Based on data and layout requirement, lines are grouped into page where they belong (due to complex logic for determining which page a line should go to...this is done in PL/SQL package that is called in the beginning of the RDF trigger)
- The first page needs to be printed on Legal size paper
- Subsequent pages (IF NEEDED) need to be printed on Letter size paper
So some report will have a 1-page output (legal size), and some will have multiple pages (1st page should be legal size, subsequent on letter size).
Here is a sample XML data:
<REPORT>
<LIST_G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<PAGE_NUMBER>1</PAGE_NUMBER>
<LIST_G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
</LIST_G_LINE>
</G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<PAGE_NUMBER>2</PAGE_NUMBER>
<LIST_G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
</LIST_G_LINE>
</G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<G_PAGE_NUMBER>
<PAGE_NUMBER>3</PAGE_NUMBER>
<LIST_G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
     <G_LINE>...</G_LINE>
</LIST_G_LINE>
</G_PAGE_NUMBER>
</LIST_G_PAGE_NUMBER>
</REPORT>
For this, I created 2-pages RTF template and using the Word Page Setup feature:
1. First page setup is legal size (go to Page Setup, Paper tab, choose Letter and choose Apply to "Whole Document").
The first page has the following XMLP tag:
<?for-each: G_PAGE_NUMBER?>
<?if: PAGE_NUMBER=1?><?call:body?><?end if?>
<?end for-each?>
<?template:body?>
for-each loop that prints lines in a tabular format
<?end template?>
2. Second page setup is letter size (go to Page Setup, Paper, choose Letter and choose Apply to "This point forward").
<?for-each: G_PAGE_NUMBER?>
<?if: PAGE_NUMBER>1?><?call:body?><-- Ctrl-Break to insert a page break here --> <?end if?>
<?end for-each?>
It almost worked, except there is a blank page printed at the end. How do I remove the blank page? I have tried to use <?split-by-page-break:?> instead of the Ctrl-Break, but it did not seem to work (there is no page break happening at all).
I think the extra page is due to the multiple page nature of the RTF template. Is there a way to control the page size through XMLP tag (or XSL-FO). With that, I can try having a single page template and put the page size control within the XMLP / XSL-FO tag and hope that the extra blank page at the end will go away. Can someone please help?
Thank you!

Sorry for the typo in my previous post... I meant Ctrl-Enter (not Ctrl-Break).

How to avoid printing an additional blank page at the end of the report

I have a report which has 3 panels in the main section of the report, about 3 pages in size. 1st & 2nd panels are enclosed in a repeating frame, and 3rd panel in a different repeating frame.
The vertical panels per page in the property inspector of the main section of the report is kept as 2. And thus, when I am printing the report I am getting an additional blank page at the end. Also I tried to make the vertical panels per page to 1 in the property inspector for main section but the following error is being returned:
REP-0801: Layout canvas must remain large enough to fit all layout objects
Can anyone tell me how to handle this?

Hi,
I too faced similar prob.
But when i made the After Page Value property of the report as blank it removed the blank page for me .
Try this and let me know whether it has helped you.

Subject:      How to set the number of rows per page dynamically in a report
     Doc ID:      Note:122714.1      Type:      SCRIPT
     Last Revision Date:      07-NOV-2000      Status:      PUBLISHED
PURPOSE
This article shows how to set the number of rows per page dynamically according
to the user parameter specified.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these steps:
1. In the Object Navigator under Data Model-->User Parameters, create an user
parameter P_1 -- this parameter specifies the number of rows you want to
print per page
datatype: number.
2. In the Data Model Editor, create the query and the layout according to your
requirements.
Let's assume that we have the following:
Q_1: Select empno, deptno ename from emp
order by deptno, ename
G_1 has the columns empno, deptno, ename
3. In the Data Model Editor, create the following summary columns:
CS_numrow will be numbering the rows within the detail group
(created within G_1).
Set the following parameters:
Name: CS_numrow
Function: count
Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
Reset at: Report
CS_total_rows will calculate the total of rows retrieved
(created at the report level)
Set the following parameters:
Name: CS_total_rows
Function: count
Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
Reset at: Report
4. In the Layout Model Editor, create a Group Frame M_1 within the repeating
frame, below the fields empno, deptno, and ename. You may have to stretch
the existing frames to be able to fit this in.
F_enmpno F_deptno F_ename
--------------------------------------------- <<<< create the group
frame here
5. Set the properties for the Group Frame M_1 as follows:
Print condition: First
Object: Enclosing Object
Sizing:
Vertical: variable
Horizontal: fixed
Check the box "Page Break before".
6. Create a Format trigger for this frame M_1 as follows:
function M_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
/* prints until a row number is product of P_1 */
/* if row number is 5 and P_1 = 5, MOD is 0 */
/* then it prints the frame, doing a page break */
begin
if :CS_total_rows <> :CS_numrow then -- avoiding blank page at the end
if mod(:CS_numrow,:P_1) = 0 then
return (TRUE);
else
return(false);
end if;
else
return (false);
end if;
end;
NOTE: This assumes that the report is tabular. If you have a break group, this
logic can be applied for the detail group.

Blank Page at the end of generated PDF Document

Hi,
my problem is that ADS is generating a blank page at the end of my report.
I fill the ADS with a template and an XML stream.
The XML stream contains multiple orders. Each order has several detail data. It is a requirement that every order object has to appear at a new page.
XML structure:
- Order
-- Group1
--- fields of Group1
-- Group2
--- Fields of Group2
My template looks like this:
- body page subform: Order (Default binding: $record.Order[*]; Repeat Subform for Each Data Item: yes; After: Go To Next Page)
-- subform1
--- fields of subform1
-- subform2
--- fields of subform2
Because of the "Go To Next Page" at the Order subform a new page is rendered each time an order ends. This leads to the blank page after the last order is processed.
Does anyone know how I can suppress the blank page at the end of the document?

It has always been that the upgrade tries to be the "master" over the older version.

How to avoid blank page in the report?

adding a field in the grouping and checking the page break option means then we are getting blank page as the first page of the report? How to avoid this blank page?

Usually blank pages appear as first page due to the presence of filler lines (//////) on top of report header.Please ensure that the top header is exactely started from top of page itself.

Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

My iBook has a blank page at the beginning of each chapter. How do I delete?
