Battle with the iBook & epub

So today I realised that the new "rain-man" (cough cough) edition of iBook with Mavericks is totally beyond normal sense!
You cannot add your ePub books to the iPad or iPhone like we could do with previous versions of iTunes.  Beside that, it is completely impossible to locate WHERE the damned files are loaded/saved.
This doesn't solve the location problem, but does give a workaround for adding ePub books to iBooks on iOS devices.

Just hope that apple gets its head out of the hole and fix this nonsense.

Actually, I couldn't. I had a ePub book from my school. It would show up in the iBook, but i wouldn't see it in the iTunes/books tab to select it for syncing.
I had tried everything and there was no way that it would show up in iTunes.  That's why I started the discussion because I saw many many people having similar problems.
I added the screen shots and you can see that the "Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment" is in the iBooks, but you can't see it under the iTunes/books tab.
The only way i was able to do that was through the link i posted on top.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

  • A tough question regarding the AC adapter packed in with the iBook G4

    I have had this iBook less than a year after buying it new from Apple and along with it, I bought Applecare for piece of mind.
    Now onto the question here. The "Duck" connector (the flip out AC prongs) that connect to my power brick has failed and I was informed that this was a "consumable" by an Apple representative even when talking to a "higher up" along the support chain. He informed me that it was in my included documentation but if this was included, I asked him just exactly what page might I find this on or a page detailing just what is covered or not covered when it comes to the Applecare warranty on portables. Needless to say, I did try combing the site and my original print manuals and Applecare paperwork saying nothing about "consumables" when it comes to a notebook computer.
    I ended up setting out and buying another USB iPod charger just for that silly connector so I could charge my battery but still puzzled by Apple's response to this.
    Anyone else ever experience such great service or a similar problem with the power brick in general? (sarcasm...)

    On my iBook models using the same white cube power adapter, I've used
    only the cord they supplied with the adapter; and have not used the odd
    toggle/plugin it shipped with. I heard stories about the connection not
    being as good if that little part was used, so I always use the long cord.
    No issues; I plug the AC cord into the power first, and the little DC cord
    into the computer second. Less sparks, too; and not as big a shock to
    the computer as plugging it in the other way.
    Someone may be able to get just the replacement part you seek without
    buying another complete adapter. If I could find the small plug part, I'd
    just send it to you; but I think it got lost or ran away due to disinterest.
    [To just replace that part of the adapter, when travelling overseas
    would be a better idea (to comply with local power-port shapes)
    than carrying a whole set of power cord adapters. I wonder if
    they sell just that part in that Apple universal power adapter kit?]
    I also have a second complete new adapter in the original sealed package;
    so I hope it works when or if I need it. The part should be under the extended
    warranty; just like I was told the battery should be, too. These factoids may or
    may not be true. Or if they were, perhaps they no longer are. A product specialist
    would be one to ask what the policy is on an exact item. I'm not that!

  • Good luck with the forum + ePub feature request

    Good idea about the new forum! I'm sure it will thrive.
    EPub creation in InDesign has advanced by leaps and bounds. Last week I created a fairly heavily illustrated fiction ePub out of InDesign in "one sitting", and -- amazingly -- without having to touch the resulting ePub in an external editor!  (This was a book that I had typeset for print in InDesign as well, so of course that makes it easier.) Just a little custom CSS, and some custom paragraph styles and object export settings. I think that's great, and thanks to Douglas Waterfall who is clearly doing an amazing job, plus is very attentive to listening to users' requests and ideas.
    Avoiding the use of an external editor is in my opinion very desirable, and currently, InDesign's Achilles heel when it comes to that is the navigation pane. The navigation pane is constructed according to a TOC that the user has created in InDesign, but not everything can be created with an InDesign TOC.
    On the most basic level, chapters in the actual ePub might be formatted as so:
    CHAPTER 1
    Trains
    CHAPTER 2
    Planes
    CHAPTER 3
    Automobiles
    ... but in the nav. pane, one would prefer:
    1. Trains
    2. Planes
    3. Automobiles
    As far as I'm aware, the only way to achieve that currently is by opening up the ePub after export with an external editor and editing the nav pane manually.
    So if InDesign could offer some way to have more flexibility with that, and avoid the need to edit externally, that would be great.
    Ariel
    PS And of course, some sort of live preview when editing for ePubs in InDesign is also crucial.
    PPS I still can't help wondering if a separate Adobe ePub editor wouldn't be better than foisting it all on InDesign. Obviously, this ePub editor should be able to open InDesign files.

    You have a wonderful positive attitude, Pierre, but two things: 
    1.  They shouldn't be a work in progress - they should be polished and complete.  As it is it gives people the impression that the company's products are unpolished and lacking in function.
    2.  We may have a say, through threads like this one, but it rarely seems to make any difference.  Again that seems to reflect Adobe's overall current philosophy for product development and release...  Consider the fact that they virtually always plan to release what they already have built - even though people may feed back many problem reports during beta testing.  It happened with the Photoshop CS6 beta, it happens with the Camera Raw betas, and we have this forum software that, despite being released in an unfinished state, isn't being actively modified per anyone's requests.
    There's only one good reason for exposing unfinished software - to solicit feedback to help find what's unfinished and prioritize what needs to be done to finish it.
    It's not working, Adobe.

  • Is there a way to make the Time Capsule compatible with the iBook Clamshell (2000 not 1999)?

    We upgraaded our router to the new time capsule over christmas break and it works great but our old ibook clamshell doesnt work with it. is says an error has occured when i try to connect to it.
    Is there someway to connect the Clamshell?
    Thanks!

    What type of security is defined for your wireless network?  I may be wrong, but I don't believe that the AirPort Card supports anything better than the very weak WEP encryption.  It also only works on the 2.4 GHz band.  I'm presuming you configured the Time Capsule to support that band.

  • When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

    When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

    As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • Choosing language for the OS using CD provided with tangerine ibook

    Hello,
    I have a french tangerine ibook running in french (macos 8.6) and I would like to know if it is possible to reinstall it in english using the CDs provided with the ibook.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Anthony.

    Thank you for your answer (although I was hoping for another one).
    I just called the apple store and apple tech support and they both told me that neither mac os 8.6 nor 9.x were sold, and that it was not available for download.
    So I have to buy a used english copy of mac os 8.6 or 9.x for my old ibook.
    Fortunately, I have an adress in the US where I can have it shipped. So I looked on Ebay to find the CDs, and I can only find macos 8.6 for iMAC, not ibook. The name of the CDs are : "iMac Software Install SSW version 8.6" and "iMac Software Restore SSW version 8.6". Of course the restore CD would be of no use for me, but is the install CD a standard mac os 8.6 that includes all the drivers for my ibook ?
    Do I have to specifically look for ibook CDs ?
    I'm also considering installing a linux (like yellow dog linux), although I'd rather give the ibook with macos on it as the person I'll give it to is not very "computer litterate"... Could you advise me a light distribution of linux, as user friendly as possible ?
    Anthony.

  • IBooks & ePub compatibility: error -48

    Hi,
    I'm an iPad developer & I'm trying to figure out which kind of .epub files sync correctly with the iBooks app. I'm hearing reports of people experiencing a "could not copy…because an unkown error occurred -48" error while syncing files downloaded from various sites. Maybe we can use this thread to figure out the exact problem people are experiencing?
    So: please post the url where you find a file & tell people on this forum if it syns or not ... e.g. project Gutenberg seems to be giving problems.
    Cheers - F

  • How do i use USB 2.0 with an iBook G3?

    I have a WD external hard drive that operates through USB 2.0 and want to use it with my iBook G3. I thought this wasn't possible since it has the old USB ports, but saw the post 28081 which I think says it is. It said you could use the old USB ports with a 2.0 drive. Should I be able to connect it directly (not mounting on my computer) or do I need some type of USB converter? Is there such a converter available? Thanks for any help!
    kate

    Hi, Kate. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    How successful using a USB 2.0 drive with the iBook's USB 1.1 ports depends on how you are wanting to use the external drive. You can use it for storing or archiving data, but data transfer will be very slow.
    A better option with the iBook is a FireWire external drive (which connects through the FireWire port). It's much, much faster and allows you to make a complete bootable clone backup from your hard drive.

  • What's wrong with this iBook?

    White iBook circa 2008. On a hard boot attempt, it makes a loud clicking noise from the right side of the unit, near the trackpad. It then fails to boot and gives the no OS symbol.
    I thought this was a hard-drive failure and was set to replace the drive.
    But... when I boot connect over Firewire from my MacMini with the iBook in target mode, the hard-drive works fine. I was able to back up all the data from the iBook.
    Any ideas on what's wrong?

    not to split hairs, but apple quit selling the ibooks in early 2006. so do you have a macbook or is it truly an ibook? I ask because the ibooks used 1 IDE bus & both drives were chained to it, so a bad cable or drive could affect the other drive.
    on macbooks, this isn't the case, as the hard drive is sata & the optical drives were still IDE then, so 2 different bus interfaces.

  • Is there a COMPONENT video OUT solution for the iBook?

    I am currently using Apple's Video Adapter (mini-VGA to S-Video) to hook up to my widescreen. Let's face it, S-Video *****. I am trying to find a solution that would allow me to get component video out of my iBook and run that into my widescreen.
    Is there a VGA->Component Video Adapter available that would work with the mini-VGA -> VGA adapter that ships with the iBook? (Or some other way to get a component video signal?)
    Thanks!

    Hi Mactivist,
    i am not an expert on this video stuff but I think
    you might find this useful. Although the
    procedure described is about a Mac Mini (which has a
    dvi connector) the guy actually used a DVI-VGA
    adapter. Therefore, I believe, the set-up described
    should work for you too.
    -Petra
    Unfortunately, iBooks do not have DVI out. What I really need is a VGA to Component video adapter.
    And for the person who wasn't sure what a component video cable looks like, this is a cable that has 3 rca-like plugs on it, each one supplies a different color (RGB I think).
    So far, I've not found a VGA adapter that can do this unless you are using an ATI video card as the source.

  • My book showed up in the iBook library but it won't open.

    My book showed up in the iBook library but it won't open.

    Did you buy/download the book from Apple, or did it come from another source ? If it's Apple ibook then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if the book works after you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try deleting the book and re-downloading it
