Could you make iBooks Author on not just Apple Macs?

I really would like to make a Textbook on iBooks Author but i don't have a Mac. It would be really nice if Apple could make iBooks Author for all diffrent types of Laptops/Netbooks, maybe even for the iPads.

iBA is Mac and OS X only, sorry. Uploading ebooks for the store requires iTunes Producer, which is also Mac and OS X only.
As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' form for things you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • How can I link to a chapter in iBooks Author? I just want a link to the chapter, not to a bookmark

    How can I link to a chapter in iBooks Author? I just want a link to the chapter, not to a bookmark.
    But something like: "This was explained in Chapter 5." Where "Chapter 5" is a clickable hyperlink.
    Also, when I add a new chapter before chapter 5 this should automatically change to:
    "This was explained in Chapter 6."
    I could use a bookmark (e.g. to the first word in Chapter 5) but this would be not right.

    Use "Link to: A file" in the link inspector.

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • IBook created with iBooks Author does not appear on iPhone

    Hi,
    My daughter created and published a book using iBooks Author but it only shows up in the iPad and Mac version of iBooks.
    Is there a way to get it to work on the iPhone iBooks store as well?
    Thank you for your courage.

    I found the answer here. I guess I just didn't dig long enough!
    The short answer is that iBooks Author does not output a format that supports iPhone. Use Pages to generate an ePub file that supports iPhone, etc.

  • IBooks Author does not open existing ibook

    I updated iBooks Author yesterday and saved an existing ibook on my Mac and USB drive. Today morning, the book is refusing to open, displaying a "invalid format" message. The file also apprears to have shrunk in size, from 250mb to 8kb.
    Any idea of what happened and how I can resolve this? Or would I have to re-do the whole thing?

  • How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

    How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

    "Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

  • How do you get iBooks Author to show page numbers? (All my pages are in blank layout.)

    I'm using iBooks Author 2.0 to make a picture book and can't get it to show page numbers. The "insert page numbers" menu item doesn't highlight when I'm creating a page, nor does a number magically show up when I preview the book on my iPad. Please help?
    It may have something to do with how I'm using the ToC (tried to avoid having a ToC, but that's not working out too well. Any suggestions on how to do that with a picture book would also be helpful.)
    Thanks,
    C

    Thanks K T, This definitely got page numbers to appear.
    Now I actually have to read the iBooks Author support to figure out what I'm doing wrong with the whole Section/Chapter template thing. (It would be nice to just have a simple picture book template. Not to complain.)
    Thanks for your technical support across so many issues.

  • Apple iBooks Author is not a print production tool-

    I was really impressed with Apple's release of iBooks Author App and I'm sure I will get a secondary drive to be bootable with Lion so that I can install this new free app, that only runs in Mac OS X Lion.  But, as long as I am producing books for the printing press, before they go to eReader, InDesign will have to be my tool of choise so that all of my work that was put into the book production can be repurposed to the e-reader version.
    Sorry that I'm not posting an InDesign question.  I'm just sharing some thoughts with my community.
    I'm getting ready to upgrade from InDesing CS 4 to InDesign CS5.5.

    iWeb is template based and Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG graphical web editor. iWeb is the fry cook of the web world with Dreamweaver the fast food middle manager of the web world. In most cases you aren't going to get haute cuisine out of Dreamweaver, that's where your IDE's and scripting languages shine.
    iBooks author is essential the same thing as Microsoft Publisher, but built exclusively for getting content into Apple's iBooks2 and iTunes U applications. One can build a bunch of equity in Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, images and spit them into Publisher or iBooks Author with minimum reformatting and maintain the magic that those applications have.
    InDesign allows you to leverage graphical equity from existing print layouts and publish to a few more output directions. Getting existing Powerpoints, Excel documents, Word Documents misused as layouts and the like is not something one can easily accomplish in InDesign. You can get your InDesign documents wrapped into Adobe's viewer and push out to Android, iOS and other platforms provided you pay Adobe either a grip of cash or a small amount of cash every time you want the document updated.
    For the everyday student, professor, office worker or anybody who doesn't already have a strong investment in Adobe and InDesign it is a no brainer to go the iBooks Author route. Apple's iPad and iOS have a commanding lead in marketshare and a staggering lead in revenue spent on content per device. Many people aren't putting effort forth on Android or other devices still (though the Kindle Fire may change that). For the purpose of taking something that is free, publishing for free to the over 40 million devices out there iBooks is a much more attractive route for many than Zinio, Woodwing, DPS, paying a developer.

  • My Ibooks author will not open a file

    I have an Ibooks author file that will not open.  How can I open the file to edit it?

    In that case, if the file isn't locked and/or owned by another user, and you don't see any errors when trying to access it, all I can imagine is that it is somehow broken/corrupted.
    If you don't have a backup to try instead, you may want to contact Apple for iBA support and see if they can help....that, or walk your MB into the nearest Apple Store and see what they think.
    Good luck in any case.

  • Ibooks author does not launch properly on iMac (2007) using Lion

    Hi!
    My iBooks Author starts, but it shows that the machine is working and i cant choose anyting in my menue.
    Any sugestions?
    Trond

    I haven't heard of anyone having issues like this with iBooks Author, sorry.
    You may want to run Disk Utilty and check drive health and repair permissions to see if any issues turn up there. Be sure you have significant free space on ypur harddrive.
    Disable any 3rd party widgets that may not be fully compatible with Lion and don't use any betas.

  • Ibooks author file not accepted by itunes producer

    I have completed a book with an Ibooks author file size of 830MB; it is not being accepted by itunes Producer for upload. Do I need to export it to IBooks format? I did this export but the resulting file is just 77MB. I did not try to upload it via Itunes Producer as it seems to small to be correct. ????????

    Thanks this helped but not enough. I was trying to feed the I books author file directly. So, i went to File/publish and created a file labeled ITMSP. Then went back to the Publisher wizard. I was unable to load the ITMSP file but the Publication window in ITUNES Producer has the Ibook file I exported from IBA in it. I continued through the wizzard but chose not enter a target audience. When I got to the end and clicked on the button to send to Apple it went through a verification process and flagged the lack of target audience. So I went back and entered 13 and up. But the same error keeps occuring and I can not proceed. Any ideas on the following
    1. How I clear the error message now that I have entered the right data
    2.Is the Ibooks export the file that should show in the produce window, or should it be the ITMSP file that wont load there?
