Connecting Your IBOOK to your Car

Hello peoples,
I'm just wondering if anyone in the 'ibook' world has ever connected their ibook with their vehicles.
What I mean by connecting, is setting up it so it is secured somehow, so it doesn't bounce around while you drive, using your car stereo speakers instead of the ibook ones, and of course a way to run the machine via a power supply.
The power supply issue is the easiest thing to remedy. The other two are the biggest challenges i'm having.
Cheers

Hi George,
I actually do this... as I often travel with the iBook in tow, and the amount of .mp3 files it can store is much larger than what the SD card on my Treo 650 store.
I had to strip the car down to the wiring harness to do this ! The problem in my car (perhaps like other cars) is the so called "premium sound system" - specifically the mfr put the preamp in the back of the car (no doubt due to space considerations). So what you have is the head unit in the front of the car, routing low level signal to the preamp and the preamp routing directly to the speakers *with no return of those speaker leads to the front of the car (where the head unit goes). This setup is probably typical of such "premium sound system" type vehicles, ie, you wont have direct access to the speaker leads at the front of the car. In my case, I wanted these leads because the wimpy vehicle preamp the mfr used I knew would be no match for the 600 watt amps I wanted to use. So quite alot of custom wiring done to my vehicle but - the end result is that I can now plug my Treo 650 or my iBook and play anything loaded on either of those devices in my car, and should the moment strike, loud is the word ! When plugged in, and if it rings, my Treo caller can be heard thru the car stereo, and thats pretty cool.
To balance the iBook as Im driving, I use a swatch of teak (just a piece of wood) and the "CoolPad" to keep it cool and elevated. I make a hard habit of limiting messing with either device at all, ever, when Im actually moving !!!!
This setup also works great to preview my audio compositions done in GB, although, Im no pro composer.
Hope this helps,

Connecting your IPOD to your Car using a Pioneer Radio Adapter

Is there any easier way you can watch your videos on your IPOD using your Radio (Pioneer) Adapter. I had it working 3 times but the problems seems to be after I shut my car off, the adapter or the IPOD will not allow me to go back into the menu. I know I would press the Menu button continuously and the IPOD will take me straight into the menu. This is a cool feature to have because then your Ipod works like a Mini TV output for your car. Anyone has any suggestions!!!?????? Please hit me back up with a response.

I don't think it's really an "issue." Your iPod is fairly old if it does not have a color screen (probably the 4th gen model).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
Recent iPods have much better processors and can interact in more ways with the devices they are connected to through the dock connector, like your car's system. It's like a computer... an old computer cannot do many things a newer one can do, no matter what software is installed because there are hardware technology limitations.
Now, if that other iPod you tried was the same model you have (or earlier), and it worked, please post back.
Otherwise, you should refer to the documentation that came with the system, or online info that may be available from the car maker's web site, to read the system requirements for the iPod. If your iPod meets the requirements, please post back.

IBooks Author - 'Your book couldn't be exported.'

After working on a project on iBooks Author for my medical school I finally try and export it to an iBooks file and I get the warning message:
'Your book couldn’t be exported. Verify that your destination disk isn’t full and that you have permission to write to it, then try again.'
I then try to export it to pdf and the file is empty, it is also unable to be previewed anymore, does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
I have 12GB of space left on my hard drive and it is my laptop so the permissions should be fine.
Thanks in advance

Your computer but....are you working on a network at the school or in your home with your own net connection?
Networks have exclusions set by the IT department to prevent misuse.
A book exported to PDF , should show teh book content , albeit, slighty different to what your see in iBA or iBooks when previewed. Again, it if you are on a network, there may be issues.
Run a text with a default template saved from iBA and see what the result is.

Can you sell adverts into your iBook?

Does anyone know whether you're allowed to sell adverts into your iBook? And if so, is there a revenue share with Apple?

Just on a personal level, I'm not sure that I want to see ads being part of the publishing revolution. As far as I am concerned, a book without ads is just as I like it.
Reinventing the publishing model involves repairing the broken revenue model, not just offering a new way of reslicing the same old ever-shrinking pie! Thanks for the advice
I'm looking forward to seeing how this entire market shapes up. There is new ground being broken on just about a daily basis. Traditional publishing as we know it will largely head the way of the dodo. (Just think about where CDs were ten years ago and where they are now.) In the process, people will try lots of different things. It'll be really interesting to see which models survive.
Judging by previous experience, such as free Internet connections in return for having to watch ads, I don't expect a publishing model that is driven by ad revenue to be successful. But time may well prove me wrong…

For anyone experiencing the same issues, I wanted to post a supplementary and final post on this issue.
Several days in with the 253 cycle battery, I noted the following:
1) The iBook breezed along with the power connected. Essentially it was back to its old self.
2) Unplugged, it developed occasional freeze tendencies when the power dipped below 40-50%.
3) The iBook passed every test I threw at it. I could find nothing obvious in any of the logs to suggest a hardware problem (other than a kaput battery).
Almost certainly its probably a power issue although I suspect the HD may not have years of useful life. I swithered about replacing the battery with a new Apple battery, a NewerTech battery or another 3rd party replacement battery. After some thought, we bit the bullet and retired the iBook and we now have a white unibody MacBook. Depending on its saleability, the iBook may well be destined to live on as an entertainment device/traveling Mac as it is still a solid performer for lighter tasks.
Upshot: when your iBook starts behaving weirdly, take a look at the battery health.
Thanks
Gareth

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?

Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?
I have already found the Apple Widget Builder (http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/) and that works fine if you want to link to the "App Store", but I want to know if there is a way to "open an app" that is already installed on the iPad instead of double tapping the home button to switch between apps. (I know using the home button is very simple, but I am trying to find an even easier way to just "tap a widget" or "link" that will open iTunes U right up) I am only asking if this is possible for people who may have a hard time running an iPad at the beginning.
I appreciate any help, thanks!

I appreciate your help, but I had already looked at LinkMaker and I thought that was my answer, but as far as I could tell that still only links to an app in the app store. Yes it will link to iTunes U in the app store and you can then hit Open, but that is too drawn out of a process. We would like to know a way to just open the app directly.
Thank you!

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
How did the photos get onto the iPad ? An iPad will only show in Windows Explorer if there are photos on it that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites - if the only photos on it were synced to the iPad from a computer then the iPad will not show in Explorer.
That is the computer that the iPad is synced to ?
If they were originally synced to your iPad from a computer then to remove them from your iPad connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes under 'devices' (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC)
And then use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of the screen to remove them
To remove all synced photos select an empty folder on that tab and sync that.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this - do you mena connect to the Mac to access streaming media or perhaps you were wondering if the AppleTV can behave as a wireless extender to give network access to the PS3 - it can't.
If you are looking for media server solutions there are several available that run on Mac, some free some commercial.

Hi
Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
Thank you for your suggestion.
