Trouble with 3d model's transparency in iBooks Author

I have a 3d model with transparency and while it is imported without problems, there's something wrong with the transparency rendering inside 3d widget.
I attach 3 screenshots to showcase the problem.
The first two are from the iBook in iPad while the third is how the model shows in the 3d programs vieport (correct transparency)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why are PDFs transparent in iBooks Author?

I'm using the Gallery widget to display PDFs in iBooks Author, but the PDFs are coming across with transparent backgrounds. This is okay, except when you tap to enlarge them -- with the black background, they become un-readable.
How can I make the PDFs display with a white background?
Thanks.

After much research and trial and error, it turns out giving a transparent PDF a white background is nearly impossible. It seems like the best solution to this problem is to use the Keynote widget. I've imported the PDF pages into Keynote, added a white rectangular background to each, and used some of Keynote's cool features to make it a little more interactive (see example here).
Problem: users can't zoom in on the PDF, which isn't ideal. But it's the best solution I've found so far.

Has anyone had trouble with ng-model updating in a photoshop extension?

For some reason I can't get my ng-model to work unless I use CTRL+V or the delete key. I had to add this code to fix it:
Anyone else had this issue>?
(function () {
    'use strict';
    var blur = angular.module('ngModelUpdate', []);
    var directive = ['$parse', function ($parse) {
        return {
            restrict: 'E',
            require: '?ngModel',
            link: function (scope, elm, attr, ngModel) {
                var model;
                if (!ngModel) {
                    return;
                elm.on('input keydown change', function () {
                    scope.$apply(function () {
                        ngModel.$setViewValue(elm.val());
    blur.directive('input', directive);
    blur.directive('textarea', directive);

Same issue here, seems to be fine on text based websites, but any with images on struggle to load.
im on 100mb fibre, and all sites work fone on other devices, just my iPad since upgrading
its loads the site slowly, displays about 3/4 of the page once loaded

Trouble with deploying models in NI Veristand to real-time target

Hi All,
I desperately need some help with some application i’m working on. I’m trying to read some accelerometer measurements into NI Veristand but coming up with an error all the time during the deployment stage to the real target which i have atttached. I can’t quite figure out what to do about it. I’m using a real-time device with a PXI-4461 module. I have checked that i can read all sensor measurements in MAX as attached. The error message is as follows:
Initializing deployment...
Waiting for the target to report its state...
Initiating FTP connection...
System Definition File -> Acquisition.in4
Restarting system...
Restarting target into run mode...
The target encountered an error and reset. Verify that the system definition file and the target resources are valid. You must deploy a new system definition file or reboot the controller to correct this problem.
Error -200757 occurred at DAQmx Start Task.vi:1
Possible reason(s):

Set Sample Timing Type to Sample Clock. You can achieve this whlie setting related properties through DAQmx VIs or functions for configuring timing.

Can I add an ibook (with the interactivity like keynote) to ibook author?

Hi,
I am creating a iBook to present iBooks that were made by teachers of my school. I could show PDF, but I'd loose the interactions.
Is there a way to show an iBook into another iBook?
Thank you!

I know several elementary teachers who assign their students to write chapters that will be subsequently copied/pasted into a single class book. The teacher acts as general editor and publisher. Coordination such as everyone using the same template would see wise. With your "master" iBA file and one of the contributor's iBA files open, just copy and paste from contributor to master.

Anyone out there with a good working knowledge of iBook Author?

I have just completed my first project in i Book Author. I struggled with a few things and would be interested in exchanging tips/questions/answer with an IBA author...

I recommend you just go to the forum which is dedicated to that:

How to make table of contents in IBooks Author?

I am having trouble with the Table of Contents in IBooks Author, I have completed successfully all the steps and pages,
photos and widgets, but have been stuck on the Table of Contents for months. I've Googled and searched for help,
but either don't understand or it doesn't apply to my book. I am trying to publish a Children's Book which really doesn't need
the Table of Contents, but apparently they won't publish without one.
Please advise if you have an answer for this frustrating problem,
thank you!

Crafting a chapter-less book is possible, but a minimum of one section is required.
Remove the chapter label, leave the TOC blank and you'll then have a basic/generic point from which to work with. Use the 'File/Save As Template' menu before modifying further if you want to reuse later, etc.
Keep in mind that the default navigation means at the very least there will be a series of small dots along the bottom of the screen indicating sections, which when tapped will display thumbnails. If your book isn't doing that (landscape), try another template.

IBooks Author is a terrible program

First, let me say that I am an Apple fan. Been using exclusively at home & work (teacher) for 10+ years.
Second, I am very, very proficient with Pages and when I saw iBooks Author, I was very excited. It had a similar feel and I felt like I could do something very special with it.
After 6 months of playing with the program, I would not recommend iBooks Author for anything other than making a simple book complete with some text and adding some pictures. I feel like users of this program were misled by Apple with its simplicity of use, here is why:
1) I lost my index.xml file (and I tried all the tricks). This resulted in me losing 50+ hours of work. And yes... I have an older back-up version, but not new enough to make it worthwhile. Back-up the file everytime you use the program. This crucial file disappears for some reason?
2) 3D widgets are bogus. They don't work unless you are lucky or know all the ins and outs of the collada.dae files. All I wanted to do was to import some simple molecules (glucose, amino acids, etc.) and have them full screen on the iPad for my students to manipulate. I spent hours upon hours researching on google, then downloading different programs and exporting files and re-importing them and nothing worked.
3) Interactive Images are not worth the trouble. They are difficult and they are don't end up looking the way they should. There are serious limitations to what you can do.
4) The program is buggy. For example, I wanted to add some images inside a table. Again, this was hit and miss as some of the images showed up on the iPad while others did not. All of the images were similar and were in a similar format.
5) Table of contents, section numbering and page numbering is a mess. You need to be very, very careful when you start chaning these around or it will re-number everything.
I could go on. It is my opinion that this program is not reliable and not worth the trouble.

I too am a teacher and have found Author to be very benficial for my students, fellow teachers and community.
Take a look at An iBuild Opportunity Preview and Part 1. I have published more than 60 books and while Author has limitations, many have work-arounds.
If you need help, I am always willing to help students learn...

Can't Save as Template in iBooks Author 2.1.2

I've only just now tried to save as template in this version. This is what it used to do:
Replace the .iba extension with .ibatemplate.
Change to the iBooks Author Templates folder so that you can save there.
Now it doesn't do either of these. When you select File > Save as Template..., it presents the folder where the .iba file has been saved and does not change the extension.
Manually changing the extension and putting it in the templates folder gives it a generic Pages document icon in the Template Chooser. However, it can be opened as a template through this dialog. The title of the document is Untitled, just like it would be if a template were chosen.
Has anyone else seen this?
I have lodged a bug.

Thanks both Arnis and Mike --
Interesting suggestions from both of you.
Arnis, we're putting the cleanup utility on the back burner for the moment, since in our company, we can get in trouble using third-party software. However, it's good to know about this utility and we will use if it we have to. (Occcasionally we are forced to put our careers on the line for issues like this...)
Mike, we created a folder called "PDFSettings" in the 7.2 "fminit" folder and copied over the six joboptions files from 9.0. Rebooted, rePDFed and voila, that worked. (Mind you, we can't say for sure that's what worked, because as I said in my original post, the simple act of rebooting "sometimes works, sometimes not...")
Eventually this problem will go away by itself because eventually we will get rid of 7.2 -- it's only deadline time-crunches that have made us reluctant to jump fully-clothed into 9.0...
I really appreciate the two of you taking your time to offer suggestions and help. I can't imagine life in the FrameMaker world without you!
Cheers,
Gay

IBook Author - Publishing a book - Rejection from Apple

Good morning,
I am trying to publish a book on iBooks using iBook Author. My submission has been rejected 3 times already. Not an easy ride. Sometime the explanation for rejection is quite generic and does not give much details about what is really wrong.
For instance I was told the widget did not work etc...whereas they are working perfectly when I preview my book in iTune Author using the preview function.
So I have removed all the widgets and resubmitted the book without widgets. However Apple says again that the widgets are not working. I am wondering if they have realised that the book no longer contains any widget.
The last ticket says: All books must contain the full and complete text and must not be missing chapters, referenced indices, footnotes, or other content
But again, when I browse through the book on iBook Authors preview, all chapters, section etc...are correct.
I am wondering whether this has to do with a set up in the "iBook Author Inspector fist tab (on the left hand side with the iBook icon). This tab shows "Document and TOC - Table of Content". Is there something I need to do in there ?
Thanks,
P0mme

Preview is not reliable. Instead you should export your book to .ibooks format and transfer that to your device and open it using the ibooks app.

IBook author review widget questions not displaying correctly.

I have a 5-question review, and after the first question, the following questions are not displayed in their entirety when previewed in iBook. Sometimes there are only 4 characters in the question. Has anyone else have this problem and have a solution?
(I did not have this problem before upgrading to latest iBook author/ibook software.)
Thanks!
RFP

Yes, I'm having problems as well with missing text in the review questions as well as some other formatting issues with floating text boxes and text-wrapping.
My book is in English with Japanese. I'm running on a MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) with OS 10.9.1 and iBooks Author 2.1.1. I have changed the fonts many different times. I've tried adding extra spaces as someone else mentioned elsewhere. I've tried every conceivable mix of layers. I've tried with a fresh new file. All to no avail.
I have put a lot of time and effort into my interactive Textbook and have finally finished. Now these issues are the last remaining before delivery through iTunes Producer.
FYI, I have previewed the book in iBooks (latest version), on an iPad mini retina, on an iPad (4th ten); both as previews and using the exported .ibook format (all on iOS7). The problems persist.

HT5085 I am having trouble with an iBooks but it is not working. Any hints?

I am having trouble with downloading iBooks. The book has many repeated pages and missing pages. I have tried going to "purchased" and downloading it again but the download doesn't work. Thanks.!

On an iPad there should be a Store button at the top left of the iBooks app (top right if you are on an iPhone or iPod Touch) - tap that to go into the store, and there should be a Purchased tab at the bottom right of the store page from where you can re-download past ibook purchases (assuming that they remain available in the store).
Whether you can buy books from within the ibookstore will depend upon what country that you are in, some countries currently just have free books.

Trouble with opening/creating Server Model Diagrams

I created server model diagrams by drag-and-dropping specific tables from the Server Model Navigator. Is it supposed to take a LONG time
for this step (e.g., 3 whole minutes for one table) or should it be basically "immediate"? They eventually made it, but seemed unreasonably long!
I saved the diagrams, quit, and come back to the repository, see the diagram names, click on a diagram, verify the elements inside, everything
looks good -- until I try to open the diagram, it (Design Editor) locks up every time!!
Does anybody know why I'm having either one of the above problems? Is there any setting I need to configure?
(By the way, I'm using Designer 6i with an Oracle 8.1.7 database.)
Thanks in advance.
Brenda

Could be your memory. Designer takes alot to run, as you may know. Minimum should be 256mb. Close all apps and try to open
the diagram again. I have had lots of trouble with my designer locking up!

Troubles with App Module and Data Model

Hi All!
I have trouble with inserting new record in vo.
My situation is next:
I have AM with two instances of one VO. One instance I use to perform search and second to insert new records.
How I can understend if I create instances in AM by giving different aliases to the same VO, they must be independent. Yes or not?
My problems happens when I deploy app to OAS in local mode. App is stateless.
When I try to insert new record I always get one from next situation:
1. PK = 1. This attribute is generated by trigger and sequense on server. Update after insert in EO is on.
2. **** Updating Attribute: CustSid Value is -******
Application Error
Return
Error Message: JBO-26030: Failed to lock the record, another user holds the lock.
Seems like update not insert!
After that I can't edit first record in first VO.
3. Time by time I get another messages
When I run this app in JD debugger all is working fine!
By the way - this page apper in frame.
When I try it without frame all works fine On OAS too.
I think it's problem with AM state. Isn't it?
Any help will be appreciated!
Mike

In principle, there are only one way to do my task!? I can add LVAIKolekcijaDati via APasesDati as instance and move APasesDati child elements under that. Am I right? And if my jspx page is created from APasesDati instance and now I want to use my new - LVAIKolekcijaDati via APasesDati then I need to reecreate my jspx page from begining, or I can change something in my jspx page or somewhere else something that way I do not to recreate my jspx page and use LVAIKolekcijaDati via APasesDati in my page?
Best regards, Debuger!
