Bookmarking iBook Author – can you bookmark chapter/section heads?

Hi there
I'm working on a book that has list of Key Terms at the back of it, with multiple references to various Chapters, Sections, and lines. However, I can only seem to select words in the main body of the text to bookmark. If I try to select a section or chpter heading, the option is greyed out. To try a work around, I created a textbox with the same wording as the section head, and placed it over the top of it, thinking that I could bookmark that text, then make it transparent – but no, I couldn't bookmark any text at all that wasn't part of the main body of the text of the book.
Any ideas?

So I have a cookbook I purchased on ibooks. Random House tells me the bookmark formatting is an ibooks developer issue.
When I book mark a recipe it book marks Breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack NOT the name of the recipe. needless to say having 10 bookmarks that say breakfast doesn't work for me.
I know not part of this stream but thought you might have an idea besides renaming bookmarks, which I assume I have to do on the ibooks on my air not through the ibook?
Sheesh have not had this developer publisher issue with other books.
Many thanks,
Barbara

  • HT5116 iBooks Author: Can You Co-Author on Multiple Machines?

    I am trying to have 20 students contribute chapters to an anthology of folk tales...not finding a way to export/import iBookAuthor chapters or pages from one machine to another. Is this possible? I appreciate any info. Thanks.

    I am trying to have 20 students contribute chapters to an anthology of folk tales
    Very simple,  discuss the needs of teh book and ask each to create a chapter and allocate  who does Chapter 1...and repeat for each chapter.
    .not finding a way to export/import iBookAuthor chapters or pages from one machine to another
    Very easy - each  student and yourself needs  to download and install teh free app "Dropbox"  there are others - this is the best IMHO - each  student  then uploads their chapter to Dropbox.  The  other and maybe easier way if  everytbody is meeting in  a "classroom" is the inevitable USB!
    One ( or more ) person is designated as editor and  pulls down the  chapters from  drop box using the links or public folder access.  Once gathered on  one machine, thay are assembled in iBooks Author.
    How  to create the book?
    The  first essential is  to decide which template to use.  Will  it be a standard freebie or will it be  editted and customised to your own design.
    Once the template is completed - it is  saved as a template and  save again as template  "yourname1"
    Now you have  two  copies on standby.  open as an iBooks Author from the template and save as ( whatever your books is to be named). Each student then gets a copy of that file... by same process of using Dropbox or USB
    The editor ends up with 20  files and  if each  uses  its designated chapter number....
    Have all your  20 chapters available  and simply copy and paste into the  book  tree on the left.
    After the first  past- delete the  original  chapter 1 - you paste becomes Chapter one  - now repeat the process.
    Its  quite easy  really. I suggest you create a few chapters in  a Test book and then open another different template as test 2 and start copying and pasting  chapters to get the  hang of it.
    The book as a whole now needs editting   if you intend to  have a glossary and maybe  tweek or correct  anything in the other  chapters.

  • Can I write an ebook in ibooks author without using chapters or sections?

    Is there other templates besides textbooks.  It seems its only made for people to publish textbooks, what about childrens books that are mainly images and have no chapters ?  I dont need a table of contents, glossary or chapters/sections. 

    I'm asking a similar question on the "gutter" thread. I've been working my draft in Pages and then saw iBook Author and thought it would be easier. FWIW, the iBooks store sells childrens's books in that format.
    Go check out the Yellow Submarine (free) and you'll see it. Is there any way to tell how they put that video ebook together?

  • HT204391 i am unable to install iBook Author but I receive error message with iBooks Author can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required.

    Do you know which MacBook Pro you have?
    The thing is, you have OS 10.6.8, but you need at least 10.7.4 - The latest version is 10.8.2. You can go to the App Store and ugrade to 10.8 - It's called Mountain Lion and then iBooks Author should install fine.

  • Using keynote in ibooks author do you set slide size to 2048x1536

    For my second book I want to use the keynote widgit. If I set the slide size to 2048x1536 will that be ok for the ipad 2 and origanal ipad in addition to the new ipad? Also, when you initially bring an image (jpg) into keynote that will eventually be for import into ibooks author should it be resized to 2048x1536 just as we do when bringing one directly into ibooks author. I am using keynote 5.1.1.

  • Ibook Author can't preview message

    Hi,
    I have almost finished my book in iBook Author. Today I added short titles to the videos. I've got 50 videos throughout the book. But when I started to Preview the book on iPad IBook Author says it Can't preview. it loaded perfectly fine on iPad till today. This is a screenshot.
    After I added the video titles my file jumped up from 170Mb to 225Mb. I know the file is huge but how 50 short lines can expand it to 55 MB.
    May the file size be the reason that it doesn't upload the book to iPad? I uploaded for the test the previous versions and it works fine, but not the new file.
    Does IBA have a file size limitation to upload it to iPad?
    Any ideas?
    Best regards,
    JaSok

    Issue resolved.
    I think it's a file size issue. I managed to reduce the file back to 170 MB and it loads fine now. But the reason of file expansion to 50 MB was that I applied the character style for video labels to make it ALL CAPS via Widget tool. This simple step added 50MB to the file.

  • Bugs iBooks Author review widgets and text sections

    This week since updating software iTunes and on iPad 3 using Mac bookpro with Mac OS 10.7.5 the review widgets in iBook Author has a bug, which removes part of the questions and part of the answers. I am using the most recent version of iBooks Author.Any suggestions or advice? Also, another bug is that text sections have been affected to some degree with sections of sentences removed.All other wigets are running normal.

    Hello,
    I also had this issue, particularly in the Review and Pop-Over widgets. Sections of text were absent only when I previewed on iPad or Mac. This occured on OS X v10.9 Mavericks for me, so it does not seem to be isolated to one operating system. I was also running the latest version of iBooks Author.
    I was able to resolve this issue by rewriting the text in slightly different wording. Simply deleting the text and replacing it with the same text did not help. I had to actually rewrite different text that basically meant the same thing. I was not able to figure out what about the origional text was causing the problem. Try typing a variety of different sentences. Chances are, some will cause the error and some won't.

  • Mail - How can you Reply with full Header?

    Hello All......In Apple Mail, if you forward a message you see the full header (subject, To:, CC:, etc.), however if you reply you see only the "On Jul 27, 2012, at 6:27 AM, xyz <[email protected]> wrote:" one liner in the message.  For Lion there was a great mailbundle from Github that corrected this ongoing oversight.  Having just "upgraded" to Mountain Lion, it is now broken again.  Anyone know if there is a current "fix"?  Also, anyone know why Apple is being so dense on this point - many complaints and they clearly know how to do it based on the forward working perfectly.  Love Apple, but they make me nuts sometimes :-)

    All fixed now for Mountain Lion!  Thanks to Dolcini!

    Re: Lion Mac MailJul 27, 2012 10:21 AM (in response to Dolcini) 
    Hello.....Any chance you have an update for Mountain Lion?  In Lion I used the github download you quoted and it worked perfectly.  Just "upgraded" to Mountail Lion (ML) and it broke this.  At least ML fixed the attachment issue and I know longer need LetterOpener.

    Sorry... I have been really busy with home and work issues this week, I plan to upgrade my system this weekend and provide an update for the bundle through github before Monday.
    If you can't wait until then, try updating the UUIDs and let me know if that worked.  I had a report from a user of the preview release that updating the UUIDs worked for him. You can find generic instructions for updating the UUIDs at http://code2k.net/blog/2010-05-16/
    Thanks for the feedback.-J

    Hey, no worries bro - you are the man here.  So, I updated both UUIDs as you suggested using the instructions you noted and it now works perfectly again - thanks so much!

  • Can you put Chapter Header/Footer Sections in an iBook?

    I have spent an incredible amount of effort to find a way to display Title Chapter Headers / Title Chapter Footer (I have also tried doing it through css as well).
    I know on bottom of an ibook page you can tap on the brown scroller and it will display the chapter, but for my uses most of our books are about ~9000 pages - which makes it extremely easy to lose your place while tapping on the scroll button.
    I have also added this a feature request enhancement on the ipad feedback, please let me know if anyone else has any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Clearifcation: Display Title Chapter Headers / Title Chapter Footer at the page level.
    I am also approaching this from a programmatic standpoint, not from a WYSIG epub generation tool (like indesign).

  • Can you bookmark sites you visit often?

    There are many podcasts sites that I like to check from time to time, but often I do not subscribe to them. I may just get an episode and delete it. Is there an easy way to organize and bookmark my favorite podcast sites so I can get back to them later?
    thanks

    I'm still running version 7, and here's how I do it.
    Whenever you download a podcast to your library, there's an "album" listing for that podcast under which any downloaded podcasts will appear. You can delete an individual podcast but leave the album header in your library. Later, if you want to see what's available for that podcast, just select the album header in your library and click on the little arrow that appears. The arrow will take you directly to that podcast's listing in the iTunes Store.

  • Using external pdf, can you bookmark a specific page range, instead of just opening whole document?

    Hi, forum!
    You guys have been really helpful.
    I have learned how to bookmark an external pdf and have it open in my current pdf.
    What I need now is to bookmark an external pdf but only view a specific range of pages in the external document, not just to open the external pdf.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Bummer...oh, well...
    Thanks for the answer; I really do appreciate your help (and this forum, in general).
