Can I put copyright on my ebook in iBooks Author?

I've started writing my first ebook in iBooks Author and I was wandering wether I could put copyright on it and how. All the content in the book in my own but I was confused as to wether copyright still applied and how I could apply it.

In addition to using the copyright symbol in your book, I recommend actually registering your content with the copyright office (http://www.copyright.gov/). While the copyright is still valid if you don't register it, my understanding is that you can't collect any monetary damages if someone steals your work and it wasn't registered.

    Preview a book or a chapter on iPad
    Connect iPad to your Mac.
    On the Home screen of your iPad, tap iBooks.
    In iBooks Author, do either of the following:
    Preview a book: Click the Preview button in the toolbar, or choose File > Preview.
    Preview a chapter: Select the chapter you want to preview in the sidebar, then choose File > Preview Current Section Only.

  • How can I make a custom book size in iBooks Author

    Covers, however, can be square.

  • How can I add page turn animation to my iBooks Author 2.2 file? Can I add html / a plugin?

    How can I add page turn animation to my iBooks Author 2.2 file? Can I add html / a plugin?

    I concur with Tom. That feature is not available with iBooks. If the page turning effect is important, you could consider developing a fixed layout Epub 3 instead.

  • Can I put the Hard Drive from old iBook into new iBook?

    I need a new motherboard for my old iBook which has no other damage. New motherboard costs about the same as a new iBook;
    so can I have the drive from the old iBook put into a new iBook? Old iBook is about 2 years old.
    Thanks!

    Gareth; there are no iBooks with Intel processors. These are MacBooks.
    As for your question, it's unlikely that you could, as the new Macs appear to have different firmware on the drives. It would also invalidate the warranty on a new computer.
    Far easier to put the old drive into an external FW or USB enclosure and use it to transfer your files, applications and settings during first boot of the new Mac using the Setup Assistant.

  • 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?

    The only people who can read your book in .ibooks format are people with an iPad, and an iPad cannot read a dvd.  So you should probably export it as .pdf.

  • Can custom HTML widgets be copy protected in iBooks Author 2.0?

    Hi to All!
    Never used iBooks Author up to this point, but looking in to it.
    As per the subject heading: If a custom designed HTML widget is used in iBooks Author 2.0 can it easily be copied & pasted by viewers for their own puposes? If this is so can this action be prevented - i.e. can a custom HTML widget be copy protected in some fashion?
    Thank You.

  • How can i add settings to my book on ibook author?

    i'm making a project, and i almos finished, but when i made a preview, i can't change the text size; i want to add that setting to my book, i mean that option on the right top corner where you can change the text size and background color. Thanks for your help

    Not available in iBooks Author.   Available options are brightness slider, book search and bookmark.
    Set your font size higher than default if you have concerns.
    I have to say, I have not checked the portrait templates yet...which are more likely to be used for flowing text only books, but knowing Apple, I doubt they will have the option either.

  • Can I put the latest software on this iBook?

    I have a IBook and I want to install the latest mac software. Is this possible?!

    Hi, Colin. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you can tell us the exact iBook model, we will be able to better advise you. You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    No iBook can run the latest version of the Mac operating system, though. iBooks have a PowerPC processor. Beginning with Mac OS X 10.6, an Intel processor is required to run that version of the operating system. Upgrading the RAM and/or the hard drive may be required to upgrade.
    Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) Requirements
    Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Requirements
    Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Requirements

  • Can you put the new iworks on a ibook g3?

    I am a huge apple fan.  I have the iphone, ipad2 and an imac at work.  I recently came across what I beleive is a ibook G3.  ( it is dead and have to buy a wall charger for it).  My question is this...
    1. Can I add the new iworks to this computer?
    2. Can I use the same iworks that I have on my imac for this G3 or do I need to buy a new software?
    3. Does the G3 have Garageband?
    Thanks

    Check out the system requirements for iWork:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3879
    You may be able to find a copy of iWork '05 that would work on the iBook.
    If the iBook is all white, has two USB ports, and just says "iBook" under the display, it's an iBook G3 (Dual USB).
    iBook G4s say "iBook G4" on the bezel beneath the display.
    MacBooks look similar, and say "MacBook" beneath the display.

  • Can I create a standard print book in ibooks author?

    I need to create a workbook for teachers that will be printed and also made available as an ebook. Has anyone used i books author to export files for a print shop to use in creating a physical book?
    I spent a lot of time a decade ago using early versions of Pagemaker and Quark express to create print publications. I have thought about using indesign for this project but am so mac-centric that I figured my life would be simpler (and less expensive) using publishing software for mac users.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    iBA can export to .pdf, but it is definitely not intended to produce printed materials.  The app Pages is more appropriate, and even there you may find some problems relating to print shop requirements.  Most people would probably use InDesign or another app.  Best ask in the Pages forum

  • HT5065 can movies be used as chapter start in iBooks Author?

    Hi all,
    part of a book i am designing has a requirement to use movies/moving images as full-page (full-screen) chapter starts. Is this possible? The movies would have text overlaid on them. Many thanks for your time. Best wishes, Richard

    OK KT, if i decide to go the full-screen 'tap to play' route, is that possible with chapter starts? Would this have any adverse effect on other aspects of the book? For instance, the chapter starts have a linked relationship with the contents page, would it affect this?
    However, if it is possible to do this do i simply delete the existing picture, drop in a media widget then insert my movie into that?
