Audio but no video or video but no audio:iBooks

When I try and display an enhanced iBook (can read the text aloud) using my iPad's Airplay and an Apple TV, on an Epson projector, I can get video fine, but when I turn on the read aloud function, the picture stops and only a sound bar displays. Turn off the read aloud and the pages of the book are back on the screen.

They could allow mirroring to work while audio streams over AirPlay if video isn't streaming. So this IS a bug related to AirPlay and DRM. My sister is disabled so I was trying to display the book on a big screen for her but it isn't working — pretty annoying when the is no good reason not to work.

No video chat on new iMac but ok on iBook

I have a new iMac and just tried to have a video chat with a PC user, but kept receiving a "failure to respond" error (apparently I failed to respond). I tried a chat with the same PC user using my iBook and had no problem. (I can only video chat with a PC user if I initiate the chat).
- Both the iBook and iMac are running Tiger
- Both are using iChat 3.1.4
- My firewall is off on the iMac
- Both are connected to the internet through my Airport
- Both are on the same desk (so it can't be a location issue)
- I can't invite the iMac to join a 3-way conference using the iBook (the video chat isn't an option). Although I've read that PC's can't be used in multiconference, so maybe that's the problem on this point.
- I can video chat between the iBook and iMac using different accounts, so I know my camera's working fine.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?

When trying to deliver an iBook with videos I receive this error message: 'ERROR ITMS-9000: "Book contains unsupported video my book title.iBooks.OPS/assets.media/my video name.m4v. Could not detect ftyp' at Book (MZItmspBookPackage) Any suggestions?

When I try to deliver an iBook to the iBookstore I receive the folllowing error message. ERROR ITMS-9000: "Book contains unsupported video my book title_.ibooks:/OPS/assets/media/My video title.m4v. Could not detect ftyp." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
I have no idea what this means and would be grateful for any help.

KT,
Thank you so much for your interest and response. I think that I followed all the suggested 6 steps from the iBA user tip but to no avail. Do you know anything about this comment by dmingo which is pasted below?
'User dmingo says this about that:
After audio tracks are placed in your book, you must 'Publish' the book from iBA (using the 'File/Publish...' menu) - that means re-entering all metadata from scratch - you can't simply import the .ibooks file into iTP. If you enter another audio clip at some time, you have to do it all again. '
To me it seems to say the video clips need to be delivered separately and one at a time.
I would be grateful for any advice

This is a concern amoung many corporate users. It's going to take somekind of policy change with apple.

Hi. How do I get video to autoplay in Ibook Author?

Hi. How do I get video to autoplay in Ibook Author?

You are going to have to give us a lot more information than that. We need to know what MacBook Pro you have. What version of OSX (these things should be in your profile). What are you trying to do. What program. What kind of video. We are completely incapable of guessing what's going on, so if you want an answer, you need to give us information.

Custom Dashcode widget works fine on mac, but not in iBooks

I wrote a dashcode widget that works fine on my mac but not in iBooks, what am I doing wrong?
I am trying to create a widget that performs a specific calculation when the user inputs the 2 variables. However when I go to preview it on my iPad, the button that performs the calculation disapears. It is visible in the thumbnail, but once you launch to full size... bye bye...
Help is appreciated. Are buttons not allowed?

That is not correct. What sets the size of the widget when it runs is the canvas size of the widget, not Default.png.
At the link below, you can find a widget with a Default.png of 140x200 pixels. When you run the widget, it displays at 900x607 pixels.

This demonstrates that Default.png has nothing to do with the size of the widget when it runs. Default.png need not even have the same aspect ratio as the widget canvas.

Is there a way to have PDFs save to ICloud but accessible through IBooks?

Is there a way to have PDFs save to ICloud but accessible through IBooks?

The Cloud is for Apple-purchased items only. To get pdfs across multiple devices, you can email them, sync them through itunes or save to an app like Dropbox (a cloud-based service) and open in iBooks.

Slow wireless with Powerbook, but fine with iBook?!

I'm currently using a campus wireless net and my Powerbook G4 is really, really, slow but my newer iBook G4 is much faster. When plugged in with an ethernet cable, however, both are equally fast. Does anyone have any idea why this could be so, and how I could go about fixing it? I unfortunately have no details on the wireless net.
Cheers,
Dave
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) also iBook G4 10.4.6

Do the
recpetion levels match? if they don't you will find
that the lower the reception the slower the speed.
Most wireless software, including the Airport
software, steps down the connection speed based on
the reception levels to ensure the stability of the
signal.
Thanks. That was exactly the problem. My Powerbook has worse reception than the iBook. Is this a know problem?
Cheers,
Dave

Audio ibooks can find them

Bought audio ibooks, shows that they are in ibooks on my i-pad in the itunes computer sync section books, but I cant find them when I open the app. How do I get them?

Audiobooks download/sync to the Music app on iOS 5 (iPod app on iOS 4). Go into the Music app and under the More button at the bottom of the app you should see an Audiobooks option (if there aren't any audiobooks then the option won't show)

What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Keynote slides with video - not linking in Ibooks Author

Hi
I have a problem with linking Keynote slides containing videos in Ibooks author. I am using the latest version of both programs on Yosemity (6.5.2 keynote, Ibooks Author 2.2 )
The keynotes is set up with ‘Links Only’ and it works perfectly in Keynote. In Ibooks author the ‘link only’ is not working and the slides just progresses to next one. Like the Presentation type was set to normal, whether or not I press the link or outside the link. The exact same keynote slides without the video doesn’t have this problem and links perfectly in Ibooks Author. The result is the same testing the Ibook directly on the Mac or on the Ipad Air (8.1.2)
To make sure about the video types I tried a number of different ones (different Mac/Ipad video conversion programs) all with the same result. The result is also the same whether it plays ‘on page’ or ‘full-screen’ in the Ibook. The videos all plays perfectly but the links are not working.
Saving the keynote to 09 seemed to solve the problem. I am new to Ibooks author …. And the whole Mac environment. But I am thinking it’s supposed to work without having to do this????
The same happened when I tested a linked keynote example from Lynda.com. ‘Ibooks essential training’. Only in the 09 version it was working with the links, when the slides had videos. This example was off course also created in an earlier Keynote version.

This is a problem that I've reported both here and via bugreport.apple.com. However, I don't think that it has to do with screen resolution (retina/non-retina). Rather, I think it has to do with setting the widget to "full screen" where transport controls cannot be used and selecting a "Links Only" presentation.
I used simple forward and back arrows set (Control-click on object) to go to next slide or previous slide. What I found was that while this works as designed when played back in Keynote (OS X or iOS) but not in the Keynote widget. The links only setting and these hyperlinks are totally ignored in the Keynote widget. Tapping anywhere went to the next slide. Tapping on the back arrow also went to the next slide,

Will USB 802.11n wireless card improve video streaming on older iBook?

On my older G4 iBook, I'm accessing the internet through the AirPort Time Capsule as my wireless router. The video on my MacBook Pro is stunning, the iBook is terrible, useless really. Would a USB 802.11n video card work better than the AirPort card in the computer?

Duane, I meant a USB wireless adapter. The general consensus is that it would improve at least marginally, but no one seems to know for sure. Simple enough to find out, just haven't gotten around to buying one yet. I'll just need to make sure I can return it if there is no improvement.

LaCie External DVD R/RW - can it play regular video dvds on my iBook?

So I've got this LaCie external DVD R/RW drive (designed by Porshe - but who cares?) and I can wiret and re-write dvds of data okay. I use it for backing up my files sometimes, and just extra storage space... But I don't seem to be able to watch a regular DVD movie on my iBook using this external drive (and the disc drive in the iBook is just a CD-ROM that's it.)
So, I'm just wondering if the Apple iBook G3 is even capable of playing a regular DVD video? I have this suspicion that this iBook's Graphics hardware just might not be up to the DVD movie playing requirements?
Is that my problem? Or is there something I can do? Thanks in advance.

Nevermind I just got VLC and that seems to play the DVD alright.
I've had this drive for a little over a year now, and I had basically writen off my iBooks ability to play DVDs because "DVD Player" the application that comes with the O/S said it wasn't possible, well, VLC proved DVD Player wrong.
