Are any alternate input devices supported for turning pages?

I am working on iBooks versions of my print music books and am disappointed to see a lack of support for external devices to change pages. It seems with all the sheet music apps out there that support foot pedals that iBooks would add support for this - if not for music, at least for people with disabilities. I would not really look forward to building my books as one-off applications just to support this kind of feature as I really like iBooks Author and the resulting ebooks are great.
Is anyone aware of a way to get iBooks to accept input other than touching the screen for turning pages? Does anyone know if Apple is looking into enabling this kind of feature in iBooks?

It's an interesting question, but Apple's platform is predicated on touch....and now voice, with SIRI.
If you wanted it enough, you'd go for an app (I think what you want would be near trivial there - you're just talking about a teleprompter, after all), so it seems more like you simply have a yearn, in which case you may need to be (very) patient if you insist on relying on iBA, as it just came out of the box, so to speak.
I think we can look forward to eye-motion detection as one example....but for now, the page turn interaction as it exists, seems to be more indicative of a 'book' and Apple seems happy to stick to that path - for now.
Keep in mind that WWDC 2012 is coming up - as developers, we're all waiting to see what Apple let's us work with next.
Apple doesn't discuss future plans, but as always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices. 

  • Alternate input device

    I have an alternate input device where I want button clicks to behave as keys.
    I can construct the keyEvent in the button's action listener but how do I dispatch the key event to the JComponent I wish to have focus.

    Nope, I doubt it.  As I said:
    I disabled Aero theme, checked font scaling was 100% and rebooted Windows in between all of the steps to no avail.
    I've been reading a lot around this and it seems the arrow key problem is a red herring; I think it's just some kind of terminal preferences corruption.

    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
    Just an FYI John, NeoOffice is no longer free, (but it is cheap at least)

  • When are you going to provide support for PVCS ?

    Hello,
    Any chance of Oracle providing support for PVCS ? It seems rather odd to me that you provide an add-in for it in Forms & Reports but not in Jdev.

    Hi,
    We're investigating some possible solutions to bring PVCS support into JDeveloper, but I'm afraid this definitely won't be in the next release (9.0.3) which has been feature-frozen for some time now. In the meantime, you can use the SCM Extension API to write an extension for any source control system, or use the ToolManager extension downloadable from OTN to plug menu items in to the IDE to invoke SCM command line operations.
    Forms and Reports are written in C++ and have a completely different architecture to JDeveloper, so it's not possible to utilize the support in those existing products for PVCS within JDeveloper.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • HT203088 Any ideas when RAW support for the Nikon D7200 will be available?

    Hi
    I have recently bought the Nikon D7200. However Apple have not released their support for the RAW files. I am wondering what the likely timeframe is for support to be released? I do not want to make the switch to Adobe to get support and Nikons software isn't much fun at all so want to avoid that.
    In the meantime I am stuck using jpg...
    Any realistic timeframe estimates appreciated...
    James

    It used to be pretty quick with Nikons and Canons - some even before the camera was released! But now in the new Photos regime, we can't really say.

  • Any word on touch support for Photoshop CC?

    I've been trying to use it on my Surface Pro 2, but only the (tiny) menu buttons work.  Every time I touch the canvas, the image instantly slides off-screen.
    I know improved support for touchscreens has been in the works.  But after recently seeing a Surface Pro 3 commercial where they show someone moving the image around on a touchscreen in Photoshop, I had assumed they finally fixed the issue.  Nope.  I've searched high and low but still haven't found any news about the improved touch support or when it's coming.
    Can anyone shed some light on this?  Thanks for any help!

    Could they have been using one of the Adobe Touch applications?

  • Is there any way to contact support for iphone by email?

    I cannot find an answer to my problem. Still cannot assign ringtones (not customs) to contacts for phone.
    Only for incoming text.
    This is a feature on my phone and only worked I think once when I bought it. After two updates still broken.
    I cannot use the phone support option as I currently don't have access to another phone.
    Thanks

    Thanks for responding Will. Yes I do know how to edit. I have assigned tones to all my contacts for texting and when there is an incoming text the assigned tones all work.
    However it won't work for phoning.  It reverts to default.
    Have removed any double contacts etc etc. 

  • Device support for Sony PRS-T1 in 1.8.2?

    I installed ADE Preview 1.8.2 (Mac) and it does see my Nook, but not my Sony PRS-T1. Is there some workaround (such as: use Windows, uninstall Reader app, etc.)?
    This model is listed on the 'supported devices' page. 

    Hi Tom Semple,
    If you activate your two devices with same account (i.e. Adobe ID), you may transfer your purchased book freely (if permission allows). There is a known issue that ADE still cannot access it with Reader software for Mac installed (Reader for PC works). But you still can try to copy books manually.
    Good luck!

    Derek
