Can i publish an ibook for a very limited audience

Can I publish an iBook for a very limited audience? Suppose that I only want to send it to 20 people. Is that possible?

Um... yes. Just send it to the people you want to have it. Of course, nothing prevents them from giving it to others unless it's DRM protected, which would require you to sell it through the app store. I don't believe you can limit who is allowed to purchase it other than restricting it to a specific country.

How can I publish an iBook for a client?

I'm a designer and I have a friend that would like to publish his book for the iPad. What is the best way to go about this?

Toms reply relates to the supposition that your wants to do the work himself and will need an account with Apple.
My take on your question is that the friend wants a book creating and perhaps wants you to do it and get it online via your account. Which is OK if you are happy with that. I do not think Apple have restrictions that would prevent it and you just add the friends names as author.
BUT it can give rise to a host of problems.. is it free or paid book? or does he want a book he can email /share direct to his friends and family??
Bearing in mind all issues, your friend should follow Toms advice and perhaps you can act as tutor to help in the production.

Can i Publish an ibook in different languages? I mean three different books

Can i Publish an ibook in different languages? I mean three different books

I believe so - release them as editions or a series (see iTunes Producer meta data). ABC Title, Edition 1 English; ABC Title, Edition 2 Spanish; ABC Title, Edition 3 German...that sort of thing, but with the titles translated, of course
See the store for existing examples.

Can't publish my iBook

I got a problem and I need to solve this as soon as possible. I don't know what's wrong!
I need to publish the iBook - free to download -
When I click on "Publish" (iBooks Author), then a pop up appears and ask me to log in. Then, It says something about iTunes Connect (log in) and then nothing happens, cause' Apple Connect is already Activated, for iOS Apps, but I don't know if I need another for "Books"? I know and iTunes Connect says: "
Unable to Process Request
You cannot access this page.
The Apple ID you signed in with does not have permission to view this page. For more information about access permissions, see the Contact Us module."
PROBLEM: I get stuck on the 3th step, I can't download iTunes Producer, I don't know why, it says:
Unable to Process Request
You cannot access this page.
The Apple ID you signed in with does not have permission to view this page. For more information about access permissions, see the Contact Us module.
PROBLEM: Then, I click to continue, and ask me again for my log in details and says:
"This Apple ID isn't associated with a Free or Paid Books Account"
What can I do? What's wrong? Thanks for reading... need help!

How do I publish and ibook for free without a credit card

I am working with a teacher to publish her students work to the iBooks store. We are trying to download iTunes Connect. She has tried to use her account and keeps hitting snags. Her account information is correct but keeps getting rejected. So I tried the school's account that was set up without a credit card. The account is good but my error message is the account requires a credit card. Isn't free, free? We are just trying to get her students' work published. SHe has found the authoring of books very engaging to her remedial students. The project falls short at this time until we get the publishing part fixed. So, help!
Thanks
Gary

It is all about iBook author.
In that case, other ebook stores will not be helpful, because iBA produces a special format (.ibooks) that only the iBookstore will accept (and which can only be read on an iPad, no other device). It can also produce .pdf format, which is usable anywhere, but does not offer the same features.
The best way to distribute .ibooks format without a credit card would be via email attachment or putting it on a server for downloading by readers.
For other bookstores you would normally produce in .epub format (which can be read on any device, like .pdf). iBooks Author can't do that, but the Pages app can.

Can I author an iBook for my own family use?

Hi -
I'm dabbling with iBooks Author. I'm not intending to submit the book to the iBook Store. I just want to share it with family members for their iPads.
I created a short tale with some text and images - 15 pages, 3 chapters long - and Published it as ".iba" right out of the app. When I sent it to my wife's iPad (I used email and DropBox), the TOC was there, chapters were listed, and clicking moved you through the book, but all the pages were blank. No text or images.
Have I misunderstood how this app can be used? Is this ONLY for producing books for sale?
TIA some experienced explanation.

The file used when authoring via iBooks Author is .iba. The distributed file is .ibooks. You should first Preview to your own iPad to test, so that any issues such as missing content can be dealt with.
You can distribute to family etc without goint thru the Store, using iBooks Author's 'Share/Send via email' menu or 'Share/Export', saving off an ibook, then uploading that to your own server or DropBox, as an example.

I can't publish my site for a client to view

For the last week I've been sending drafts through BC with no problems. But today when I try to publish to new a new client I get this
No matter what I put in as a site name.
I have also tried to export to HTML but I keep getting a message saying its "Invalid domain name"
Can someone please help!?
Thanks

Usually that means one of a couple things:
- Bad Internet connection
- Business Catalyst is doing some maintenace or down.
When you think it might be on the Business Catalyst end try going to this page to see if the servers are having an issue.

Can I publish a SWF for flash player 9

Is there a way to publish a SWF file that works in older versions of flash player in Catalyst CS5 or do they have to be published in the latest flash player?

Flash Catalyst projects use Flex 4, which in turn requires Flash Player 10. Among other things, Catalyst relies on FP 10 features to render text that accurately matches your original imported comps, and to support the "rotate 3D" effects available in the timeline.
For general web deployment, this requirement shouldn't be a major obstacle: Flash Player 10 is on 95%+ of Internet-connected computers in most markets (and probably 75%+ of enterprise desktops). Of course circumstances vary, so I apologize if you're stuck due to working in an environment where FP 10 isn't available yet. In these cases, while you'll have to write your final app in a different technology like Flex 3, we hope you'll still find Catalyst to be a valuable rapid-prototyping tool during earlier stages of production.

Can I publish an iBooks Author book under a client's account?

The next stage in all of this is doing books for clients that they will sell. Has anybody had any experience with that? How do you get iTunes Connect to point to a different account?

>log out and then log in with the client's account

IPhone only allows for a very limited amount of iTunes tracks

Hi there, since receiving a replacement iPhone 5, I've only been able to put 40-ish songs on it at a time. I have plenty of room for more, and have the most recent operating system, Is there a fix for this?

OK Steve..I bet I know, because it happened to me.,,try this: It has to do with the AAC Encoder and bit rate at which you are importing songs into your ITunes.
Connect your IPod, and look at the Bit Rate. If it is 800 to over a thousand, your songs are taking up too much space; the bit rate should only be 128 to 160. A song imported at a bit rate of 1022 will take up around 33 MB, while that same song imported at a bit rate of 160 will only take up about 5 MB. If that is the case, you will have to import all your songs again using a lower bit rate, and then replace those high bit rate songs on your IPod, which is a pain, but I do not know any other way to do it.
This is how your change your bit rate that you import songs into your ITunes program from CD's:
1. Connect your IPod & click EDIT, then PREFERENCES.
2. Click the ADVANCED tab, then the IMPORTING tab.
3. I use the AAC Encoder, and, in the SETTING block, select CUSTOM.
4. Select 160 kbps, auto for the 2 boxes below, & say OK. You could, if you want use 'HIGH QUALITY 128 kbps' and that works fine, but I like 160...not much difference in how much room it takes up on your IPod..WHICH is where your problem lies, I suspect.
Spend some time replacing your songs, and you can put a ton of songs on your IPod. Hope this all makes sense,,Bobby in Jax

Editing of Books Published on iBooks

I just finished a book published on iBooks for the iPad, by Annie Proulx, "Accordion Crimes". This comment has nothing to do with the literary work, but everything to do with the editing and publishing.
In the most polite terms possible, the publishing work was very, very disappointing. I found numerous spelling errors, misplaced emphasis (the word "eyes" appeared in italics throughout the 500= page book, for no apparent reason), some just plain new words never seen before in the English language which were not the product of the writer, I'm sure. It felt a lot like I was being asked to proofread, and that I was working with a draft.
If this was the final version of the book, then the software used to publish it is not ready for prime time.
I don't want my money back, but I sure do think that Apple needs to look into the publishing that they're selling. If this book was a representative sample, it's pretty shoddy work.
If this is the wrong forum for these comments, please accept my apologies, but I found no other channel to accept product quality feedback.

Since the bookstore is part of itunes, you should send feedback here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
However, it sounds like you should also send feedback to the publisher. Coding books for the ibookstore is a tricky process (despite the people who tell you it's a snap), and they need to know that what they're doing isn't working.
You should also have a link in your receipt to report a problem; you could use that, too, if you do decide you want a refund.
