Will iBooks author support webgl in widgets?

It would be great to include interactive 3D games in iBooks Author widgets. But Javascript is going to need some help to accomplish this. Does anyone know if webgl will be supported or if there some other way of rendering 3D graphics in the iBooks widgets.

Don't be ridiculous Dan-o... Why can't we get a 3D character to describe the book for children? a character that uses Javascript and WebGL shading to draw..?
iAds does WebGL...
Safari 5.1 now integrates a WebGL Mode to test...
Please add support for WebGL APPLE!

  • Does the iBooks Author support Right-to-Left languages?

    Hi,
    I wish to know if the iBooks Author support languages which are written from Right to Left, such as Arab, and Hebrew.
    Moreover, can it show those foreign letters?
    Does it look okay, or unorganized?
    And another small thing - can you upload a textbook, written by yourself, to your iPad without having a developer account?

    iBooks Author can certainly display RTL scripts, but it has various bugs which make it unsuitable for composing them for many users.  There is no setting for text direction and cursor operation is broken, making editing extremely difficult.  Copy/paste may work sometimes, but iBooks has been reported to misplace characters and have other problems.

  • Will iBooks ever support Adobe DRM?

    I quite often want to read books that are not available in the UK iBookstore. These books are almost always available from another UK publisher in ePub format, but with Adobe DRM. So I now use another ebook reader app that supports Adobe DRM.
    The other library is now bigger than the one in iBooks and I have transferred all my non-DRM ebooks and .pdfs into it too. I keep iBooks going for my iBookstore purchases, but I mostly use the new reader. This is a shame. I found iBooks and the iBookstore really easy to use, and the integration with my Apple ID and backup on sync really convenient.
    Will iBooks ever support Adobe DRM so that I can go back to keeping everything in iBooks?

    Not a question anyone here would be able to answer. You can give Apple your feed back.

  • Does the eBooks created by iBooks Author support for iphone now?

    I have been read some blogs discussing that the iPhone could gain new support for ebooks made by iBooks Author. And now, I wanna know whether the prediction is true or not. I can' t find any annoucement from Apple to confirm this point. Does anyone answer my confusion.

    With the current software ..books created using iBooks Author cannot be viewed on iPhones.
    iBooks Author creates books that can only...be used with iPads and on Macs with Mavericks installed, by using iBooks.
    Thats it...no rumours. Blogs or to be more accurate...some of those who  contribute to them seem to either be totally stupid, or like to make themselves look as if they have inside knowledge.
    Apple created iBooks Author to allow self publishers create and publish books to the store. But not just novels or text only type books. iBA made these books allow audio / video ..and much much more than any novel. That being so....most interactive multi media books will not really display well on a screen the size if the iPhone.
    Apple are more concerned in getting iPads in use more by business and education at all levels.
    The only rumour that may well become fact is a larger sized screen for a bigger iPad  mid to late 2014.

  • I need an email address for iBooks Author support. Does anyone out there have that info?

    I am unable to raise anyone at Apple regarding support for the iBooks Author App. Does anyone know of an email address or telephone number for that support group.Thank you

    Apple does not provide application support via email. You can call the standard Apple technical support lines for assistance, though I don't know how expert the technicians will be in that particular application, and you'll quite probably have to pay for the support call.
    You might try posting your issue/question in the iBooks Author forum here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/books/ibooks_author
    I suspect you'll be more likely to get an answer there than you will by calling Apple.
    Regards.

  • Ibook Author audio (AAC) media widget rejected in validation??

    We have a complex image, video and music book from the Arctic created on ibooks author.  Everything seems to validate through itunes producer on delivery except for this error message.
    ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets: assets/media/Arctic_master_music.m4p" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
    We've done everything in widget sizing, placement, audio encoding to aac from QT, itunes and compressor.  We can't get past there error?  Is there a bug in the ibook author or am I missing someting.
    Any ideas.  The videos work fine, just the audio clip/
    richard

    John, as you can see by my previous response we haven't solved the audio error ITMS-9000, audio outside of widget. But we haven't forced the issue as of late.
    We had so much video with audio, that we pulled the page with the music pieces.  Our idea was to see if the book without the error on the audio would pass and it did.  We had to make some other corrections and link fixes, but the video and images all passed.  I was impressed that someone was actually going through page by page.
    So once the book is up, we're going to start with the music (audio only) from scratch, strictly following  the process that apple outlines.  We will resubmit it and if it won't pass the error, then I have only one specific issue for myself and apple to deal with.  I have a feeling it's something I'm doing in the music conversion, but we've compressed it from QT, from iTiunes and from compressor following their guidelines all with the same error of this audio placed within their media widget.  Now maybe with their recent ibook author updates things have been fixed.  See I have this little feeling it's a bug in ibook author compiler. But over many years where I jumped out and blamed someone and been wrong, I have to be sure it's me and not them.
    So if anyone has had success in audio only book elements placed in ibook author media widget and successfully got it published, tell us your secret.  Please. Or if others are having the same issue, then we need together to find an answer quickly.
    Once I find the answer on this issue I'll be sure to post the steps to our success.

  • Will iBooks Author become available to non US tax TIN authors?

    Mac iBooks Author would enjoy far greater appeal and author take up by non US citizens if the T&Cs facilitated support of 'non US' Host country Tax Numbers and bank accounts. Are there any Apple plans to provide a level of localized support in Apple Store based countries, including UK and Australia?

    Apple doesn't discuss future plans. But I think you're asking if the App Store will change in such a way that I wouldn't hold my breath for, sorry.
    As always, feel free to use the iBA Feedback menu to make requests for things you'd like to see added to that application, etc.

  • When will iBooks Author be available for iPad?

    I read on apple.com in early July that we will be able to create iBooks on the iPad, I was wondering when this will be available, or if it already is.

    Apple has no information in this regard on their website and the app only shows computability with desktops at this time.

  • Does iBooks Author support iPhone?

    I don't have an iPad and I would like to know if you can make a iBook for the iPhone with iBooks author. I don't see any way to have a preview with my iPhone 4 S. I find this strange because iPhone have iBook and I really like reading a book when I'm on the go and I find the iPad a bit too bit to carry.

    I don't believe this is correct. I can export the book with IBA as a .ibooks file and add the book to iTunes. However, in iTunes, that book then is not available for syncing to an iPhone, only for syncing to an iPad.
    At least that's what happens for me.
    It is doubtful that an iBook would work on the tiny iPhone screen. Certainly not without endless zooming which, incidentally, doesn't work with iBooks anyway: you can pinch open to zoom into a page but, as soon as you let go, the page snaps back to normal size.

  • Does iBooks Author support hebrew ?

    Can I write hebrew books using the iBooks Author ?
    Can I publish them to the app store ?

    You could try, but iBooks Author has the RTL bugs as Pages, which makes it unsuitable for Arabic/Hebrew for most people.  You could try copy/paste from another app and see what problems you run into...

  • Will iBook Author ever be updated?

    Seems like the app has not been updated regularly?

    APPLE do things to aid themselves....not other online  publishing outlets or  makers of Phablets or craplets.
    IF you want your books on other outlets... you need to use the software that will enable you to  do that.  QuarkExpress, inDesign, even Pages and there is Blurb and others similar. 
    Many users of iBA also use these to create/duplicate/replicate whatever they do using iBA to publish to other outlets. Apple does not have a problem with that or where its millions of self publishers  go to  publish their other versions.
    Apple created iBA to make  books for iPads and now Macs with iBooks  installed thats it.   Apple  will update iBA IF they  develop something new.. maybe  a few widgets or other innovations - but going off history, I am not going to anticipate anything new.  That said none of us know what it going to be new after the next Keynote  to for the iPhone - talk is of new iPads and soon to be a new OS..... maybe  with bigger screens.... Apple may allow ibooks to accept  made bu iBA  books.

  • Can't advance Keynote Widget on iBooks Author

    Using Keynote 9 (version 5.1.1) and OS X Lion (10.7.2) and experiencing problems with Keynote Widget for iBooks Author.
    The drag-and-drop feature works fine; I see the first slide - but the arrow button appears to be grayed out. Can't advance through any of my (pretty basic) transitions.
    I don't have an iPad, so I can't see if the iBooks file works on that device, but I figured that the Keynote Widget should show some functionality in iBooks Author since both an Interactive Image Widget and QuickTime movie I added elsewhere appears to work. [That image clicks just fine in iBooks Author.]
    Also, when I click "Show transport controls" in the inspector, I see arrows and 1/7 (number of slides) - but clicking still doesn't seem to work.
    Do I need to be using an iPad to see this particular functionality? Or is this some sort of silly user-error? (Or both?)
    Any hints are much appreciated.

    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    Here is the support page I found to be less than "clear":
    iBooks Author: About the Keynote widget (note the first bullet-point: "Adding a presentation to a Keynote widget"): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5067
    I subsequently found the other support doc that is more clear - affirming the correctness of your answer.
    Even so, I encourage you to reconsider the use of the word "clearly," which comes across as needlessly condescending.

  • My keynote widget in iBooks Author doesn´t work.

    Hi there! I can´t previsualize in my iPad a keynote widget, made for a book in iBooks Author... it simply doesn´t appear... does anybody know if I´m missing a step?? I drag the file in a keynote and also in HTML formats and it just doesn´t work. Thank you!

  • I have children's books in Japanese, Chinese and Arabic that I am trying to convert into epub formats that ibookstore will accept. My source docs are in ms word or pdf format. I want to use ibooks author for this purpose. Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Is there an easy way of importing the children's books into ibooks author? There is an image on every other page. The books has to be in fixed layout format.
    Any help will be sincerely appreciated. I understand that ibookstore will accept only epub 3.0 formats for Japanese titles. As I stated earlier, my objective is to make those language books available in ibookstore.

    The books has to be in fixed layout format
    If you mean keep the same as original, I wouldn't expect to retain that, sorry.
    You'd be obligated to either copy/paste in sections/blocks of text, images, etc. or insert from Pages/Word, but either way you can expect to have to rework towards whatever 'fixed' layout you need in an iBA book....that can mean significant work in some examples.
    You may want to work with a sample to find out the best workflow in any case.
    As for Arabic support, see this thread: Does iBook Author support Arabic...: Apple Support Communities
    Good luck.
