Chapter different in portrait view

Hi,
When I modify my chapter template, how come it doesn't modify in the portrait view and only modifys in landscape view?
I changed the colors and they look great in landscapte, but no change in portrait.
Thanks,
Elaine

iBA: layout in landscape; edit content in portrait - test in both. Disable portrait if it offends you.
That's just how iBA rolls...

Widget disappears in portrait view

Why don't some of my widgets show in portrait view? according to IBA help, "widgets always appear in both orientations, no matter what kind of object they are." One is a movie on a foreword page, one is a photo on a chapter cover page, and the other is a quiz. All other photo's and movies in the book are fine.

To view your Widgets in Portrait mode, open the Inspector, click the Layout Inspector button and select Show Thumbnail Track option at the bottom of the panel. This shows the sidebar area to the left side of the text frame and the Widgets will appear. You can drag them up and down to reposition them as needed.

How do I change the formatting of the section text in portrait view?

I'm attempting to write my first book using iBooks Author. I've got everything looking pretty good so far in landscape view, but when it changes to portrait view, I don't like the automatic formatting and I can't figure out how to change it. I chose the "Contemporary" template. In landscape view, I changed the section title and the default formatting (white over an image) looks fine. When I change to portrait mode, the section title turns to red, which I would like to change to another color. However, I can't even select the text in this view. I can see the style in the paragraph styles drawer, but I don't know how to change it there either. Is it possible to change the color, and if so, how? Thanks.

Already advised....
Basically, after each chapter or section is finished in LS, use the Orientation icon, top menu bar to change to portrait and edit content. Images are automatically reduced in size etc,.
Fig 1 - I used this to demonstarte Bookmarks ( in red) but take this as your start point in LS
Fig 2
As you can see from the Orientation icon shaded in Blue at top - this is Portrait mode.
The image has changed to the tempate default - so you need to change the template or drop the same image in. I had changed the background and removed the top embellisment in LS so again, you may need to change your template - that aside the section title and text are white in both examples.
Fig 3.
I have changed the section and text colour. Apps is in white intentionally and the bookmark stays in the link colour red
Fig 4 Back in LS mode - see icon top menu
The section colour stayed white, but the text changed to yellow
Fig 5
I changed the section colour to red.
OK thats how changing things affects each mode including the image sizes.
IF the red section title ( in LS) is selected - in the styles drawer you can see it - switch to portrait, select the section title and apply the same style. Essentially, think you are creating two separate books and edit the potrait to match - where possible the LS version.
Apple have deemed some things, like TOC page images cannot be changed individually in Portrait mode.

E52 landscape/portrait view

Is there a way to manually switch from portrait to landscape view and back ?

As etresoft has already said, applications start in portrait; you cannot start an app in landscape mode. Right after the -viewDidLoad is called, if the device is in a different orientation and -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation returns YES, then -willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation: duration: will get called.
There is a bug in the simulator that might be the cause of your concern. If you start your app from Xcode while the simulator is in landscape, your app will not rotate properly, but it works on the actual device.
If you really don't want to load the portrait webview at app startup, then I suggest you make a method like this:
- (void)loadWebview {
if ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation] == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
// load your portrait view
else {
// load your landscape view
Then call the above with a delay in your -viewDidLoad method.

Album art isn't right only on ipod in portrait view

I recently installed Windows 7 on my PC and to do that I had to uninstall iTunes from that computer. since then after reinstalling iTunes it has been all messed up. most of my album artwork doesn't match up on my iPod Touch after i sync. Some albums covers have a collage of four album covers (none of which are for that album). Also it keeps having me authorize my computer and keeps asking me to transfer my purchases from my iTouch. It has done this several times! and since im on my last authorized computer it worries me that one day it won't work. Any suggestions?
it is the right art on iTunes, but on my iTouch in the portrait view its wrong, in landscape its right and when i look at the other songs on the album in portrait the album in the upper corner is wrong as well.

yes i have tried that several times. i'd never had a problem with album art until i had to uninstall iTunes to install windows 7.

Print iCal Calendar - ? Portrait View

Is there a way to print my iCal Calendar in Portrait View other than saving it as a .pdf file & then printing?
I cannot find the Portrait - Landscape options when printing in iCal.
Many thanks!
...John

sp_64,
Are you found of the Month View look. Because you can print in list view and add more days. How many days you can print on a page depends on the details and how many events you have. But it will give you your location information. I will continue to look into it but that is what I've found so far.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Ipod touch stuck on portrait view - any ideas?

My iPod touch has started to refuse to switch to Portrait view.
It will use landscape when the App concerned is set in that view, but otherwise not.
I can't find where there is any help about this.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
SD

Double click Home button to bring up the multitaskbar. Swipe multitaskbar to the right till you see the music icon. Tap the left most icon with the circle arrow to lock/unlock orientation.

Stuck on portrait view

My iPad mini (about a month old) won't automatically change to landscape view in any apps or portals. The menu does, but once I click on an app or portal it reverts back to portrait view. How can I get it to do it automatically as it used to?
Thanks

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also make sure that you do not have "Rotation Lock" turned on.

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

Export portrait view of landscape iBooks Author file?

I'm working with a template in iBooks Author that is landscape layout. I enabled the portrait view (in Inspector > Document). When I preview my book on iPad it flips to portrait orientation -- changes to pure scrolling, images moved to sides of text, etc. -- exactly as it should.
I want to know if I can export this portrait view (which I can only see on the iPad) as a PDF, or if I'm limited to exporting the landscape view (which is how I work with the file / how my template is set up in iBooks Author).
I'm pretty sure the answer is the latter, but want to be 100% sure -- matters a lot for the project I'm working on. Haven't been able to find a definitive answer here.
Thanks!

iBooks Author has two (2) options which can be combined or separated.
You can choose to disable portrait mode and create your book in landscape only. If you export that to PDF.. it will either show in landscape or you can change in Acrobat or whatever PDF viewer you use.
IF you want to stay with a Portrait layout... then as previously advised, select a Portrait book template and edit your content to suite.
IF you want to have both options - then you have to create your content to suit the mode you wish to see it viewed. The top menu allows you to choose which orientation mode is viewed.
It take a little experience or patience to create a book using both modes and to be honest , I suggest that most "readers" of such books get confused and / or bored by having to change the iPad around to view.

Inline and floating locked in portrait view

My photo book was rejected today because it's not viewable in portrait format. My intention was to have the book ONLY be viewable in landscape format and that it's more than obvious that you need to turn the pad to landscape to view it–the thing is primarily composed of landscape-format images!
I saw in today's "disappearing shapes" thread that you need to edit in portrait and layout in landscape, so I'm trying out that approach.
In portrait mode, I can't get an image to appear in the text column, only as a thumbnail in the left margin. Inline and Floating are greyed out, only Anchored is available.
How can I unlock these? Will that allow me to place the images in the text as in Landscape format?
Thanks.

Never click on anything like that and resubmit.
Test it on a device first.
Testing it goes without saying, right? Seems to work. You saved me a ton of work redesigning a compromised layout. If I could give you doube bonus points I would!
So by clicking disable portrait view it will force the landscape layout to resize smaller to fit portrait view like a pdf does?
No idea what that means, sorry. How could something resize from something it doesn't do...
Where did you learn that iBA's portrait view supports PDFs?
I was talking about looking at a PDF version of this book in iBooks. When you rotate the pad the landscape image simply rotates and resizes. Disabling portrait in .iba just locks the book in landscape no matter how you turn the pad. Perfect for my needs.
Thanks for your help.

Text in landscape orientation is not showing up in portrait view

When I have added additional pages while working in landscape mode and added text to these pages, the text is not showing in portrait view. The only text that shows is the one that comes if I have used the default text box in the 2 column mode. Even using the default textbook I find is not looking good because extra spaces I am putting in for landscape mode aren't needed in the other view. Finally, the headers are also not showing up in portrait view. What to do?
Other difficulties:
1) hyperlinking text is defaulting to the hyperlink character style which is not letting me change the colour from red to blue.
2) jpg images are not being recognized as figures. I would like to be able to bookmark the images, but it is not allowing me. I would also like to have them show in portrait mode, but they are not.
Thank you!!!

Sorry if I'm being daft, but what do you mean by linking the text fields? I have one text box in landscape view. When I go to portrait, it no longer exists. If I insert a text box in portrait view, it does not appear in landscape.
I'm not sure if this is the same problem, but I'm hoping you might have some ideas.
Thanks.

Why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

IPhone work switch to Cover Flow, portrait view when turned on its side!

Hi
I have only had my phone for a week and its seems to have just stopped switching to Cover Flow or portrait view in Safari or when looking at photos when its turn on its side.. but everything else appears to work fine...
I've restarted, refreshed, recharged, reinstalled the software from scratch and its still the same...
Any ideas?

That's the weird thing. In all the apps I have the accelerometer appears to rejoster the motion correcty.
I have an app with a small ball that moveswhen you tilt or rotate the iPhone and this clearly register the rotation perfectly. So I can only assume the accerometer is working fine.
But when I go to Safari and rotate the iPhone on it's side it doesn't rotate the browser as it should.
When I go into iTunes and again rotate the iPhone it doesn't change to cover flow.
And again when looking at pictures it doesn't rotate the image.
The annoying thing is that it all used to work and only just seems to have stopped, yet nothing has happened to have caused this.

Sliding section in templates portrait view

I'm new to iBooks Author and gradually working it out, but am unable to find any information about how this 'sliding section' at the foot of Portrait View is supposed to work, or what its purpose is.
Can anyone enlighten me?

I've understood the answer myself, which, in case anyone stumbles across this topic with the same question ... portrait mode is a continuous scrolling page and this sliding part allows you to lengthen or shorten the pages to fit the content, so that everything runs together without leaving white spaces in between.
