Problems uploading Publication Preview for my book in iTunes Producer

I created a book in iBooks Author (very easy), and uploaded it using iTunes Producer. However, I didn't realize I needed to create a separate sample book/publication preview. Now, when I look at my book in iTunes Connect, it says, "No publication preview uploaded. You must upload a publication preview before it can appear on the store." However, I can't find any way to upload my publication preview after the fact. Interestingly, in iTunes Producer, it says "Optional Preview", so that's why I didn't worry about including it. I click on "choose", then navigate to where I saved the sample book file, and it is greyed out so I can't select it. I did try starting from scratch, but it still didn't include the preview. If I save the preview in iBooks Author's default location, then I can't find the files anywhere on my computer, so I just saved it in my documents. Any ideas?

For the preview, when you have your book open in iBooks Author, go to the File Menu and select duplicate. This will create a duplicate copy of your book. You may want to rename it. On the second copy, decide what pages you want to include in the preview/sample book, and delete all the other pages. Once you've saved the shorter version, go to the file menu and select export. This will bring up a window, where you should make sure you've clicked on iBooks for the export type. Then it will ask you to name and save it.
Once you've done that, open the iTunes Producer file with all your book information, and find the box for the preview version and then navigate to the new file and add that. Then when you upload your book, it should include both the full book and the preview version.

  • Trying to deliver a book to iTunes Producer

    I am trying to submit my book to iTunes Producer.  It went almost an hour into loading and aborted due to the error (Assets 51). Can anyone please tell me what this means and how I can fix it?
    Thank you!

    So, I am working with
    MacBook OSX Lion 10.7.5
    ITunesProducer Vers. 2.9.1 (375) 
    My machine has been phased out and updating the OS will happen when ache e elel freezes.
    So, I followed what other people did when receiving this error and saved my file. I exported the saved file to my desktop as an Ibooks file. I then attempted to upload the saved file and this still pops up on my screen. How do I get rid of this error without needing to buy a new machine? Or, do all Macbooks eventually become landfill lessees for a producer? Your help is appreciated.

  • Error when trying to deliver a book in iTunes Producer

    I have tried to deliver a book via iTunes Producer, but I always end up with the same error message:
    ERROR ITMS-9000: "Risor2013.ibooks: could not parse OPS/content22.xhtml: duplicate id: anchor-12" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage).
    Does anyone have experience with this message, and know how to fix it?

    And I just say for the record how much it ***** when you have to deal with a company who thinks so little of customer support, that you can't talk to anyone in person? Sheesh, the recording I got when I called hung up on me!

  • Problems with custom preview in Font Book

    I just recently upgraded to Mountain lion and noticed that when I am browsing my fonts in Fontbook using custom preview that some fonts will switch to sample preview.  But when it does that the preview pane gives me a sample view of all the weights of that font. For example: As I scroll down through the list of fonts using custom preview and I get to the Arial font the preview pane will switch from whatever I haved typed into it to a sample preview of Arial, Arial Italic, Arial Bold, and Arial Bold Italic.  I can use custom preview for those fonts but I have to select the weight of that font in order to do it.  Is there a way to turn that off or fix it so I can quickly browse through my fonts using custom preview? 
    *I did not do a clean install of mountain lion and I also have adobe font folio loaded into my fonts. 

    If you are like me opening each font-family and requesting a custom preview is out of the question. You want to scroll quickly through all of your fonts, showing your custom text, waiting for the ood options to leap out at you. What was once a minute or 2 of tapping the down arrow is now an hour of tedious clicking.
    I have not gotten Font Book to do what it used to do. But I purchased an app from the App Store called FontPreview (4.99) and it does what Font Book used to. Perhaps not as well, but it will do for me until Font Book fixes this "bug" which renders it useless for me.
    I am not endorsing the app. I have used it for 5 minutes. Just trying to help those as frustrated as I am. I am attaching a link.

  • Upload book to iTunes Producer

    I am still trying to figure out how to upload book... previously I gone through all steps only to get an Import Error after I successfully validate and deliver the book. I still do not know what is the problem.
    So I decided to try again. I make sure the iTunes Producer is the latest (go to the web page and downloaded 2.5.1), and the iBooks Author help says export to itmsp, then drag to the Publication Preview section of iTunes Producer... but I didn't see this? I saw Open/Create package, and look up metadata.
    Can someone help this newbie? I am totally lost!

    I have the same problem. No preview box exists to upload the sample to... all very strange.

  • Error message uploading book through iTunes Producer

    I'm uploading my ebook to iTunes Producer and when it is verifying assets with the iTunes store, I get the following message: Error: Internal error: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: bundle schema/20/rng/opf.rng" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage).
    I've seen others with this problem, but not apparent resolution.
    Please advise.
    Jon
    PS. I'm using iTunes Producer 2.6.

    I think the same error is being discussed here. It's related to the version of Java you have installed on OS X.

  • Marker for Audio books in iTunes

    Hi,
    When you buy an audio book from iTunes Store you always get it as long audio file. 8 or 10 h. If you, in iTunes, could create a marker of some sort (as in iBooks). I have repeatedly lose track on where I was the last time. This would make listening to audio books on your products much easier. Because now it's not worth it, I think.

    Just tag it to remember position in Get Info

  • Can I close iBooks Author while I wait for approval for account to get iTunes Producer?

    I am new to the IBooks Author and I am awaiting approval, but I want to be able to close window. If I do will I be able to get back to the same area I left off when I get the confirmation?

    IBooks Author is used to create your books and needs no "registration" or approval...so yes you can closr it.
    iTunes Producer is used to upload your book to the review team and eventually into the iBooks store.
    Unless you have either a free noks account or a psid books account, you will not need to bother too much about iTunes Producer.
    Have you applied for a free book or psid book account yet?

  • Updating an already published book on iTunes Producer

    How do I go about updating my already published paid iBook without using iBooks Author? The reason is that I created my epub in InDesign and so I cannot open the epub in iBooks Author for me to update it using the iBooks Author to iTunes Producer method...
    Can I just re-upload the file on iTunes Producer and actually have it be a new update to the book on iTunes?

    There is no way to import your original InDesign created ePub... into iBooksAuthor.
    You can update your inDesign files..and upload as an update.
    Only you know if the book is selling ...and at what rate of sales...and therefore that information is the catalyst for your choice. If it is selling well -it would seem worthwhile investing some time to rebuild and update it using iBA.
    You mention spending a few days creating your book.....there are many members here who spend months creating so e examples of the most brilliant interactive iBooks currently available in the store.  However, only you can decide which of the options available to you..to opt into.

  • Updating your book through iTunes Producer?

    Hi,
    my apologies if this question has already been addressed elsewhere, but I haven't been able to track down an answer.
    I am wondering about how updated versions of books are published. I'm used to app development where I am able to issue updated versions of apps and users can see there is a new version by visiting the Updates page within the App Store app.  I've read a lot of books on my iPad in iBooks, but I've never been aware of an update being installed for any of the books I've bought. 
    Some of the posts suggest that it is possible to issue an updated version of a book simply by resubmitting through iTunes Producer with an udpated asset.  If this is the case, how are existing owners of the book notified, and how do they get the update?
    Thanks.

    Are you talking about paid or free?
    iTP, paid, says you can update 'publication' details only.
    I've seen no evidence that my paid books update like my apps.

  • HT5071 The process of getting your book on the iTunes store is very complicated and frustrating. After delivering your book through iTunes Producer it gives you the BIG TICK and after that you have no idea what stage your book is at.

    In addition to sell your book on iTunes is a huge exercise, requiring US taxation file numbers that you have to apply directly to the tax office in the US. Once you have done that you then have to jump through several other hoops in iTunes system to be able to sell your books. Then of course I have already explaine the difficulty that I have had to get my book in the store.

    I assume if you have submitted your  book.. you have already completed Apples requirements for a paid book account.
    Its quite simple, Apple own the ball.. if you want to play the game... get your boots on and start running.. not standing on the sidelines and shouting FOUL  just because its not going as you expect!

  • Jpeg preview for picture books or master/versions

    When creating a book does Aperture use the previews as other Apple applications use or are the actual master/version "files" with the modifications used? If it is the previews I will need to regenerate the previews in a higher quality.
    thanks

    Aperture uses the masters and creates whatever versions you have selected. When the book is generated it redoes it all at full resolution. Previews are not involved.
