Can't open my IBA project: error parasing document index: invalid character in attribute value

Hi guys,
I am new of iBooks Author and I am not HTML code savvy (expect the very basics). I have to send an iBooks for an University exam and I can't open my file anymore.
I was working on it since Saturday, I saved many times and I have quit the iBooks Author and rebooted my iMac few moments ago. There were no crashes.
The project is a iBook with pictures, videos and some Tumult Hype animations. It is 248Mb.
Now I can't open the file (but I can see it in quick view). The error message is in the subject, but here it is again:
"Progetto iBooks" couldn't be opened. Error parsing document index: invalid character in attribute value.
Now, I have to send the project today (here in Italy it is now 7:10 am) and so I am kind of desperate.
Any suggestion?
I am already working on making a new ibook, but if someone could give me a workaround to fix it and open it on iBooks I would be extremely grateful.
Best regards,
Sebastiano

Hi Sebastiano,
Did you ever get any answer? I have the same problem and now have to work from an old version again (good thing I had backup one manually!)
Thx
JP.

    Hi,
    I am working on an eBook with iBook Author. Once in a while, after I finish working, and want to reopen my eBook a few hours or days after I get the error:
    'title' could not be opened
    Error parsing document index: invalid character in attribute value
    I have to go back to an old backup I always do before quitting.
    What is the reason of this error message and anyw ay to fix/repair it on a version I just saved?
    Thanks,
    JP.

    Hello,
    I have the same error, but for me the above solution did not work.
    Did I understand correctly? This is what I did:
    1. I changed the extension of the IBA file in ZIP
    2. I unzipped the file
    3. in the folder with the unzipped book I have changed the file index.xml in index.html
    4. I zipped it all back (in a ZIP file)
    5. I renamed the extension ZIP archive in IBA
    6. I tried to open the book and I got  the error that there was no index.xml file
    7. I changed the extension of the IBA and in ZIP
    8. I unzipped the file again
    9. I changed back index.xml to index.html and I zipped it back (compressed it)
    10. I renamed the extension ZIP archive in IBA
    11. I opened the book
    Is this correct?
    The problem is that I am still receiving the same error message: Error parsing document index: invalid character in attribute value
    Did I do something wrong?
    If you can help I would be very greatfull, I worked hard on this book and it is the only backup that I have saved.
    Thank you!

  • I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I Had this problem along with the error message that it's missing the driver GNSDK_DSP.DLL. I am Windows XP and fixed the error by going to Start>My Computer>Add or Remove Programs
    When the Add or Remove programs list is "populated", Find iTunes on it. Click the link that says "For more information" and the iTunes box will expand. You will see a button that says "Repair" and it says to reinstall the program if it is not working correctly, use the "Repair" button. I clicked the Repair button and it automatically started the reinstall. When all the progress bars disappear (it doesn't really give you any other indication that its done) click the "close" button and try to open iTunes again. It worked first time for me. I also saw another forum where someone said it worked for the other Windows versions by following the same route, just that in other windows versions it might be "Computer" instead of "My Computer" and the Add or Remove Programs function is also called something else. Hope this helps somebody having this problem. It drove me crazy finding the answer, but the fix was super simple once I found out what to do.

  • No inspection lot can be opened for this material error is coming during GR

    dear friends,
    no inspection lot can be opened for this material error is coming during GR. what is the cause for this and how to solve it. please suggest me
    regards,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    i think you have maintained the quality view and activated the inspection. but you have not created any inspection lot task list for the material and plant. thsi you can create through QP01 there maintain the material and plant. then enter in inspection plan give usage 5 and status 4. save it and try to check it with QA32 and see the lot. it should be released then only you can give usage decision.

  • I can not open my iMovie project

    I can not open my iMovie project. Everytime I click on it, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and spinning until I force quite the iMovie. Please help?

    OK Let's take a step back.
    If you imported video clips from a camcorder there would be an Events folder in the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
    You have the option as you import from a camcorder to send your Event to an external drive instead. In this case, it would be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the external drive.
    If your project has no video clips, but only photos, there may be no events folder, only links to iPhoto.
    Similarly, if your camera imported your video clips to iPhoto, and you used the iPhoto event in iMovie, then your clips are in iPhoto, and there is no separate iMovie event.

  • Can not open photshop CC 2014     ERROR  could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    Hi
    I can not open Photshop CC 2014
    ERROR
    could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error

    I've had the same error happen to me.  I deleted the preferences file, updated JAVA, etc.  none of which worked.
    I've spent days systematically working to isolate the variable that seems to make Photoshop work one day and "not initialize" the next.  I simply can't afford to stop work when Photoshop doesn't want to initialize due to: PSOWLListenerProxyBaseCocoa.mm : 52 : REQUIRE failed
    Apologies, but I REQUIRE YOU TO INITIALIZE!
    I think that I've isolated the problem.  I have a dual monitor set-up.  Sometimes I use the second monitor and sometimes I don't, sometimes monitor 2 is powered on and sometimes it's not.  It's really the only thing with any variance on my system.  I disconnected my second monitor.  Then I clicked the Photoshop icon and the program opened...
    I am running OS X 10.9 and Photoshop CS 5.1
    There appears to be a link between Photoshop not wanting to initialize and Graphics Card / Monitors. 

  • Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer than my own? If so how?

    Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer other than my own? If so how?

    If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
    If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
    Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.
