Why don't KeyNote links work in iBooks Author

Links that work in a Keynote presention on Mac, don't work once that presentation has been imported into an iBooks Author book. Have others had a similar problem?
Thanks

What resolution is the keynote file? I found that when ibooks author scales the keynote file to fit into the widget, the hyperlinks dont scale, or at least not at the same rate as the resto of the document. You may therefore find that the hyperlinks are there - just not in teh place you expect.

  • Why don't my links work?

    www.johndoing.com
    the words "welcome" and "biography" are both links, plus I linked to an article that doesn't work.
    click on "what i do". None of the links work on that page.

    Actually, the first reply to another post of mine saying that the audio wasn't working:
    because of z-index and the inconsistent way you added the black frame/stroke, see my post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7431333&#7431333
    you need to add a text in the body_layer (as in the Sounds page), size it, add the stroke and send it to the back.
    the qt play button works when you control click it, that's bypass z-index layering.

  • Why don't our links work in browser based help?

    We are using RH8, Windows 7 and outputting to browser based AIR help.
    We cannot get our links to work in browser based air help. These are links between projects. Links within projects work fine.
    We output our help and it worked fine on our test system. We tested it on another system and it worked fine.
    However, when we attached it to our application, the links between projects did not work.
    We think it might have something to do with the address, which looks something like this
    http://199.166.111.177/smartc/smartsol/mgproj/ etc. etc.
    When we set up the links they were set to something like this
    ../../../smartc/smartsol/mgproj/ etc. etc.
    We are thinking this might be the problem.
    Our question is - is there a universal naming convention that will allow us to publish our help anywhere.
    We don't put our help on a server and have people access it that way. We provide the help file and let the user put it anywhere they want.
    I may not be saying this correctly.
    any help is appreciated.

    I'm having a similar problem, if I understand the original question, in accessing my AIR help from a server ...
    Background:
    In RH8 html, I've been creating a Web Help project have successfully integrating it into our product for a couple of years now (thanks to all on the forum who've helped me with bugaboos along the way, Peter et al!). The project is bundled in with our software and pushed out to our hardware device (let's call it a router) and the user can access their router's UI via a custom path and use the help when needed from their home network and remotely.
    Today I've been looking at changing over to an AIR help end product to replace the Web Help project. In my initial tests, using the exact same project I'm using for the Web Help, when I push the AIR help out to my test bed I see a blank page when I access it. I'm using the same path and same files and have flushed my browser cache. When I build it, it is set as a "Browser Based Help". My thinking is something along the lines of certificates / security etc. but don't know and don't see a setting.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Update:
    I may have a solution ... a developer noticed that in one of the .js files a file names "AC_OETags.js" was listed with caps. If you are running apache on your server it will not like the capitalization in referenced in the file (the actual name of the file can have caps). Once the link to the file was made lower case the help system worked as designed.
    Good luck everyone.

  • Why don't Hold keyframes work on Audio Level?

    Hi -
    In the past (AE6.5) I recall using Hold frames to keep the Audio Level really low until the exact frame I wanted to bring it up to 0db.  Now in CS4 the Hold keyframes don't work that way.  I wind up using lots of extra keyframes and sliced up layers.  It's pretty messy.
    For example I have a narration where I have to replace one word in the center of a sentence.
    Is there a setting somewhere or, is there a new way to adjust audio levels quickly besides using key frames that someone could tell me about??
    Why don't Hold keyframes work on Audio levels anymore??
    Thanks,
    JL

    "adjusting your Quicktime settings to use less hardware acceleration and a different audio buffer duration"
    In AE Preferences I have "Audio Hardware" but no mention of QT.  It's currently set on "Built-in Output".
    Under "Output" I have an Audio Block Duration set at 01:00.
    In QT preferences there is nothing about hardware acceleration or buffer duration.
    Are any of these related to what you suggest?

  • Working with ibooks Author

    Hey guys. I've recently been doing some work with ibooks Author. I'm not sure if this is the subreddit to post my question to, so sorry if its not. My question is: How do you string a video across multiple pages within the document. I'm trying not to bloat my file size with extra videos if there is away to run one in the background. Thanks!

    Page by page is it - no backgrounding as you require.
    When a user navigates to another page, assets such as your example are then ignored for, and replaced by, assets on the next.
    See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books. Note too that iBA will optimize video assets.
    If your content is such that you risk exceeding the 2GB limit, consider publishing a series of editions, instead.

  • Why don't gif animations work in Mail 3.4?

    I posted this earlier today on what I thought was the 10.5 Leopard section and as it turned out, it somehow posted in the Panther OS section. Doh! I'm sorry if you saw the other post and this is the second time you have read this today.
    I have read through the Mail discussions since the release of Leopard trying to figure out why gif animations do not work in Leopard Mail but they do work in Tiger Mail. I have read several explanations by several different people giving various reasons why they do not work. I have little faith in the answers I've seen to date as to why they do not work in Leopard Mail, as every now and then I get an email with an embedded gif +that does animate+ in Leopard Mail.
    If I download from Leopard Mail an animated gif file to my desktop that does not animate in Mail and then open that gif in TextEdit, it animates just fine.
    If I take some of the gif files that do not animate in Leopard Mail and publish to an iWeb page, they animate just fine when I visit the published page.
    If I open the same email that will not animate in Mail 3.4 in my .mac/.me account using Safari, the animations animate fine in the webmail.
    This one really gets me. If I forward an email that contains embedded gif files that are known to animate and that do not animate in Leopard Mail to my iPhone, +they animate just fine in iPhone Mail+. *Go figure!* Why should/would they animate in my little old iPhone 3G Mail but not my full sized Mac PowerBook, using the powerful mail application, Mail?
    According to some people who have posted responses as to why Leopard Mail does not support animations, Apple does not read the Discussion posts! I have made more than one trip to the Apple Genius Bar and asked why Apple does not read the Discussions and each time the answer has been, "Apple does read the Discussions. Apple employees do not reply to them." I really do think Apple reads these posts somewhere along the line and that software changes do occur because of some of the posts.
    Apple: If you are reading this, what gives with Leopard Mail and gif animations? Why the step back from gif animation in Tiger Mail to hit and miss (mostly miss) animation in Leopard Mail? Why not post an Article explaining why animations should not work/do not work in Leopard Mail?

    I have used OS X Feedback on several occasions and have never heard back from Apple regarding any of my queries nor have I seen any software changes come about because of any of my queries.
    Apple doesn't respond to Feedback; they get way too many to have any time for that, but their engineering staff do keep track of what comes in and evaluates suggested changes all the time. I've made a good number of suggestions and I do get replies, but that's only because I have the email addresses for those who make the decisions, and I can't give those out.
    Just because you haven't seen changes doesn't mean they didn't consider your suggestions or that they aren't planning on incorporating a feature that you and others have suggested in the future. After all, the next version of OS X, Snow Leopard, isn't due until next year, and they're working on things for beyond that even now. Nothing has been finalized, so everything is open to more change after Snow Leopard.

  • Why don't my alerts work?

    I have the data alerts set on my account but I am not being alerted at the appropriate time.  I am being alerted when I am past my data limit. Why are you promoting a service that does not work?  I do not want to keep paying overage charges.  Then I can't even file a complaint....I am so frustrated with Verizon right now.  It is never easy to get answers.  I need to know why my alerts are not working.

    You can set alerts at verizonwireless.com, and you can set alerts on most smartphones as well, and those can be highly customized as to when you are alerted.
    Go to settings, data usage, and there are/should be options to view, limit, and alert you as to your mobile data usage on the phone itself.

  • Why doesn't the Help menu in iBooks Author work?

    I would love to hear from anyone else who has had this happen and what you can do to fix it!

  • Bookmarks not working in iBooks author

    I am unable to create a bookmark in iBooks author. The “+”-sign in the bookmarks pane of the inspector is faded/unclickable when I select an element on one of the pages (figure, text box, image etc.). I have been reading up on solutions and workarounds, but have yet to find one that works.
    I have chapters, sections, and pages in my book but cannot add bookmarks to any of these. I am using the “Photo book”-layout, could this be the problem?
    I’d really appreciate any help I can get on this problem, thanks.

    I finally managed to find a workaround for this, which I thought I'd share since I know a lot of others are struggling with this too.
    In my case, I'm working with a photo book style template, with full sized background images on every page. I wanted to link from one page to the next, but as mentioned, I was unable to create bookmarks on any of the pages of my book.
    What I found worked was selecting one of my large background images, then going to the "Widget inspector" (farthest right in the inspector panel), selecting the "Layout" tab and checking "title" and in the label dropdown selecting "Figure". By doing so, I'm defining my image as a figure. I can then select a portion of text on another page, go to the hyperlinks panel in the inspector and in the drop down menu specify that I want to link to a figure, my image then appears in the figure list and I can click to link to it.
    Now, this led to a second problem - changing the hyperlink color (predefined as underlined light blue). This is yet another (of many) bugs in iBooks author. I found a way to solve this too; open the Styles Drawer (select it from the "View" menu on the top left of the formatting toolbar). Select the text you want to format (in this case your hyperlink). Click on the little arrow next to the "Figure reference" style (which is the defined style on the text link) and choose "Create character style from selection". In the pop-up that opens, click on "Include these character attributes" and at the bottom left, click on "Select Overrides", then uncheck the overrides for underline and color. Click on OK (I find that you need to have at least one character attribute checked in order to be able to click OK so make sure you have the font and size checked). Now you've created a new formatting style that you can apply to all your hyperlinks but it won't look like you've done anything in iBooks Author - you'll ned to preview the book to see your formatted text (yup, another bug...).
    Let's hope Apple get these bugs fixed for the next version, and soon!

  • Media placeholders not working in iBooks Author

    I'm using an iMac with Yosemite OS 10.10.1 and iBooks Author 2.2 (both completely up to date)
    I've set up media placeholders in the page templates and saved them, but on the pages themselves the placeholders are not activated.
    When I drag in a new image it just lands on the page as a separate image, not in the placeholder.
    When I hover over the placeholder on the page, it tells me it is a 'media placeholder'.
    I've tried various formats of image. I've tried removing and reapplying the placeholder attribute. I've tried closing and restarting the application. Nothing seems to work.

    Hi superted2uk,
    Thanks for your question.  In the resource below, the instructions for adding a placeholder include an option in the inspector to select "Editable om pages using this layout."   Can you check to see if this is enabled on the placeholders you created?
    iBooks Author: Add placeholders to a custom template or layout
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2764
    iBooks Author: Add placeholders to a custom template or layout
    All templates include placeholders that make it easy to add your own text and media. If you create or modify a template or layout, you can define your own placeholders. 
    You can define media or text placeholders on individual pages. If you want a placeholder to be part of a layout (so it appears whenever you use a particular layout), follow the instructions in “Add a placeholder to a template layout,” below. 
    To help manage placeholders in a book, you can add tags (names) to them. The media and text placeholders included in the layouts already have tags (Body, Main image, or Objectives), which you can change if you like. You can also create your own tags. 
    Tagging a customized placeholder enables you to use it in other layouts throughout a book and makes it easy to switch layouts. For example, suppose you create a layout with a placeholder for a graphic in the upper-left corner and another layout with the placeholder in the upper-right corner. If you tag the placeholder “Planet image” in both layouts, the graphic always appears in the correct location, no matter which of the two layouts you use. 
    Define a media placeholder
    Drag a photo or movie from the Media Browser or Finder to a book page. 
    If you can’t add the item, it might not be in a supported file type. 
    Modify the object with the properties you want the placeholder to have, and select the object.
    Choose Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder, so that a checkmark appears.
    To stop using the object as a placeholder, choose Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder, so that the checkmark disappears.
    Define a text placeholder
    Format the text the way you want it to look, and select the text. 
    Don’t select the final paragraph break character, or the entire paragraph is deleted when the placeholder text is replaced. To see paragraph break characters, choose Show Invisibles from the View pop-up menu  in the toolbar. 
    Choose Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text, so that a checkmark appears.
    To stop using the text as a placeholder, choose Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text, so that the checkmark disappears.
    Change placeholder text
    After you create a text placeholder, you can modify its default text. For example, you can insert “Lorem ipsum” text to make it obvious that the text is placeholder. 
    Select the text in a text placeholder and choose Format > Advanced > Enable Placeholder Authoring.
    Type the text you want to appear in the text placeholder.
    Choose Format > Advanced > Disable Placeholder Text Authoring.
    Add a placeholder to a template layout
    If the Layouts pane isn’t open, choose Show Layouts from the View pop-up menu  in the toolbar. 
    In the Layouts pane, select a layout.
    On the book page, select the object you want to make a placeholder.
    In the Layout inspector, select “Editable on pages using this layout.” 
    To add a tag to the placeholder, choose an option from the Tag pop-up menu or type your own text.
    To make the placeholder appear in portrait orientation (if you are using a landscape template), select “Shared with portrait layout.” 
    To stop using an object as a placeholder, select the object and deselect “Editable on pages using this layout” in the Layout inspector. 
    Objects overview
    Let me know if this helps, or if I've misunderstood your question and need more clarification.

  • Critical Keynote widget bug on iBooks Author 2.2

    Hello,
    I think I found a bug on  ibooks Author 2.2. If a Keynote widget is added to a .iba document created on IBA 2.2, it cannot be previewed in iBooks 3.2 for iOS 7 or iBooks 1.0.1 for OSX Mavericks. The widget only works when viewed on iOS 8 or OSX Yosemite.
    Check the attached screenshot.
    Has anybody experienced this bug? Any ideas or fixes?
    I think this should be fixed ASAP because there are still thousands of users reading ibooks on iPads with iOS 7 or earlier installed.

    Confirmed. This isn't the only time we've had issues with the keynote widget. Because of this and a number of other issues and glitches with ibooks / ibooks author we've stopped recommending it to our clients as a platform for professional use. A pity as it showed great promise at first. The support is non existent (of course)  and the software may or may not work depending on so many factors that it seems more like a hobby software project than something published by a professional outfit.

  • Will an ibooks author 1.1 file work in ibooks author 2 without glitches?

    Just finished a 75-page iBook, ready for publishing but wonder if I should update to Ibooks author 2 first. OR will there be problems?

    Hi KT...on a related issue: I noticed that in Author2 when you go to Publish, there is a different routine. In Author1, when you select Publish, the program creates the three files for your .itmsp package: title.ibooks, cover image.jpg and the metadata.xml then asks if you want to create an account to upload. Author2 requires you to have set up your publishing account (which I have not done yet). My question is simply how do I backup current work in Author2 if I cannot override what I have saved already? Also (and this may be dumb), I don't seem to be able to open the .itmsp package with Author. What file is Author actually working on as I am creating and editing a book? And how do I find this file so I can back it up? As usual...thanks in advance.
