Creating a recipe book app

Hey all!
I'm putting together a recipe book for my mum but wanted to give it to her as an app on her phone rather than in print. Looking into it, it seems creating an app to just put on one person's phone isn't as straight forward as I'd hoped so I'm now looking for an alternative. I've put it together in Photoshop, so essentially it could simply be a bunch of images for her to scroll through - so a simple homescreen shortcut to a gallery with all these images in would have done the trick on a very basic level, but it seems this isn't possile either?!
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've put together basic websites, so I'm not afraid to get involved and learn a new program/skill if necessary, but would like it to be available offline for her, so I don't want to just put a website together and create a homescreen icon for that.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance...

App? Book? Images?
This isn't a dev question, but it would seem easiest to make a slideshow and then output a PDF. If that turns out to be too big to email, give it to her on a thumbdrive and let her load it via iTunes, then use iBooks etc. to view.
If you have further questions, try the OS X forums - maybe use iPhoto to make a picture book with text and output a PDF from there.
If you decide to make an app instead, feel free to ask specific questions about that process here or on the iOS Dev Forums (need to be a registered dev in a paid program there).

Best iphoto 11 book for creating a recipe book?

...Just upgraded iPhoto 11 and want to make a book that will allow photos (showing how to prepare dishes) AND plenty of space for text on the same page. The options I have seen so far seem to offer 2 possibilities: either (a) photos + very little space for text or (b) text only.
Suggestions very welcome.

Select the theme that you like the best for the dust jacket and cover and general pages. Then for those pages that would contain your recipes and photos create custom pages like those described in this tutorial: #19 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.
If you have iWork you can use Pages to create each custom page in landscape mode. Then follow the tutorial to get it into iPhoto and the book.
You can do the same with image editors that support layers like Photoshop Elements for Mac. However, Pages is more powerful for this type of project.

How to create an event booking app

Hi
This is the second time this month I have been asked to add an Event or an option to subscribe to an event and pay for it using BC. Since there is no build-in module for this and I am not a developer can you explain or direct me to a place where I can find some samples or tutorials how to develop this?
Basically I need
1. list of events with a button to book (availability will be good to have).
2. Register, add credit card details and pay.
3. Connect to payment gateway and return confirmation/ error.
4. Client receive a confirmation email with event details.
5. Client details are stored in the CRM database.
This is more or less.
Thanks
Micha

Thanks Liam for you quick response.
I know how to use the Event module but I don't see any documentation on how to add payment options to an event (even thought there is a payment option in the module).
I would like people to register to the event and capture there information for future marketing newsletters. I don't really need/ want the calendar since we will have about one event each month. So basically it will be:
1. List of events page
2. Event details and booking/payment form (prefer using JSON).
Cheers
Micha

I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service?

I have created a family recipe book in iBooks - can I print it using iPhoto's print service? I don't want to print it on our home printer - I want to print multiple copies for family members through the Apple iPhoto book printing service. Can anyone help me please?

There is no Apple print service for iBooks, and iPhoto can also only print photo books created in iPhoto.
Print your iBook to pdf. Then you have several option:
Save the pdf to a thumbsdrive/stick and take it to the nearest print shop close to your home.
Search online for "self publishing" services available in your country.
Recreate your book as an iPhoto Book. This will be a lot of work, since iPhoto's templates are more suitable for Picture books than books with lots of formatted text. To speed things up, you could use "Preview" to export the pages of your book as jpegs (high quality, at least 300 dpi) and add themas full-page photos to a new PhotoBook. This can be sent to apple for printing.
But the first two options would be much less trouble and probably be less expensive.

I want to create a Paid Books Account however, I already have a iTunes store account for creating Apps with complete contracts, tax,

I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.

Did you use an existing Apple ID or create a new one just for paid books sales/distribution?

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

Need help coding Coloring Book App. in AS3

Hello,
I am working on a project for school and I'm having a lot of trouble at the moment. I can't seem to figure out exactly how to start coding for a coloring book type app. I've read through about 6 different tutorials for this type of project and I can't seem to get anything to work for me.
I've drawn out the outline of the image I want to be colorable, and converted the outline into a symbol. I've also made each seperate colorable area it's own symbol as well. In total I have 67 different colorable areas + the outline. I've created a pallete of colors for the user to select from as well.
When it comes to actually coding for all of this to work I am completely lost. If anyone could help me get started and point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it!

I'm also working on a coloring book app. I have everything working for assigning the colors to the shapes, but I can't seem to access the color assigned to the shape. I"m trying to use an if statement to check the colors of the shapes, so if the colors assigned are the ones that I want them to be a button will be made visible to move to the next page. It looks like this:
var colorChanger: = new ColorTransform();
Red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, turnRed);
function turnRed(e:Event):void
     colorChanger.color = 0xff0000;
myShape.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shapeColor);
function shapeColor(e:Event):void
     myShape.transform.ColorTransform = colorChanger;
if(myShape.color == 0xff0000)
     Next_btn.visible = true;
I also tried creating a second colortransform variable and putting it in the shapecolor function to hold the same color that is applied to the shape:
myShape.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shapeColor);
function shapeColor(e:Event):void
     myShape.transform.ColorTransform = colorChanger;
     otherColorVar.color = colorChanger;
if(otherColorVar == 0xff0000)
     Next_btn.visible = true;
But nothing I do seems to work. No matter how I try to set up the if statement, I can't make the next button visible. Any advice?

"...cannot use the application "Address Book.app" with 'leopard.'...????

I get the message: "You cannot use the application “Address Book.app” with this version of Mac OS X. "What does this mean, wat do I do? Do I lose my address book.?

you can do the following to transfer your Tiger addressbookdata file to Leopard if none of your other countermeasures are working.
Create a new folder and give it a name such as TigertoLeopard data or whatever;
then drag your Tiger addressbook data file into that folder;
add .abbu to the end of the name you gave that new folder;
remember where you placed the folder and use Leopard Mail import command.

Terms to be agreed when creating a Paid Books Account and submitting an iBook to the iBookstore

Hi there everyone
I'm advising a client on the range of terms to be agreed when its creates an iBook using iBooks Author and then submits the iBook for publication on the iBookstore (using a Paid Books Account, not a Free Books Account).
From what I can glean from various sources, it seems the client needs to agree to:
the iBooks Author 2.0 License Agreement, when downloading the iBooks Author app from the AppStore;
the eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement (when creating a Paid Books Account through iTunes Connect); and
the iTunes Connect Terms of Service when downloading iTunes Producer (the separate app through which one publishes an iBook to the iBookStore).
There are two things I'm not sure about though. The reason for my lack of certainty is that I don't have a US Tax ID and so cannot replicate the Paid Books Account sign-up process to the stage where I'd have to agree to the various terms and conditions. My questions, please, are:
Am I correct in thinking that a person is required, when creating a Paid Books Account through iTunes Connect, to agree to the "eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement"?
If so, can anyone email me please ([email protected]) or provide a link to the latest version of the eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement? (I've seen a version online (http://outskirtspress.com/iBookStore_v3.pdf) but don't know whether it's the latest version; I'm thinking it's probably not).
When signing up for a Paid Books Account, is one also required to agree to the "PHG Terms and Conditions" and the "Publisher Program Terms and Conditions" that are attached to them, or is that optional?
Many thanks for any help. Much appreciated.
Kind regards
Richard

Any documents/agreements are obtained as part of a contract and not allowed to be distributed in an otherwise uncontrolled manner, which if done, could violate the agreement/contract.
You need to participate in the process to:
1. Access the latest, binding versions of all agreements/contracts
2. Possess a tax id/SSN to sign up.
If you have questions about the process, you should contact Apple directly.

Iphoto freezes when trying to create cards and books

the iphoto app freezes every time i try to create a photo book. I am not sure what to do.

It doesn't sound like you are actually in iPhoto. The way you can tell is, when you are doing whatever it is you do and the computer "freezes", look in the upper left corner right next to the Apple. What does it say?
It sounds like Safari is the program having issues.
Try going to the Safari Menu > Reset Safari. Uncheck the options for Remove other auto... and Remove Saved Names...
See if that helps.

How to create folders in books/ itunes

I have a lot of pdf's in my books /itunes, is it possible to create folders in books/itunes

You can only create folders or mailboxes if your email account is an IMAP account. It will not work with POP email.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would have synced to the device when you created the account on the iPad.

Error while creating a recipe in plm..

Hi every one,
System throughing below error while creating a recipe.
"Entries in status management Customizing are incorrect"
kindly suggest.
have a good day..
regards,
kirran

Hi Kirran,
Please see if you have defined a status scheme and assigned it to the recipe type. Before defining a status scheme, you must complete the one time IMG activity 'Collect Object Types and Assigned Attributes' under Recipe Development > Status Management. Then in the next node you define individual statuses and a scheme with transitions. For each status, you must define 'field value' for the field RCP_USAGE which is nothing but a value from Recipe Purposes customizing.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rajeev

Is there a way to create a flipping book with the flipping 5k adobe software?

Am I the only one pissed with the f adobe products?
Is there a way to create a flipping book with the flipping 5k adobe software? Is it Flash, etc?
Thanks

Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

Error while creating a task for creating an generic task /app/dac/CustomSQ

Hi ,
I have created a sql file in DAC server /app/dac/CustomSQLs/ ,just to fire an update sql in database
In DAC task tab i have created a task with the following:
Command for incremental load :/app/dac/CustomSQLs/DBNameBeforeLoad.sql
Primary source :flatfileconnection
target source:DBCONNECTION_OLAP
Execution type:SQL FILE
Task phase:GENERAL
I created subject area and assembled ,then created a Execution plan.
When i try to execute this EP ,it shows the following error in DAC log:
ANOMALY INFO::: Error while creating a task for creating an generic task /app/dac/CustomSQLs/DBNameBeforeLoad.sql
MESSAGE:::/app/dac/CustomSQLs/DBNameBeforeLoad.sql - invalide template name!

Does my above configuration is correct ..?

verify the following settings:
1. mapping of ECC plant and storage location and logical system number with the appropriate availability group code since this links the stock types in EWM to ECC org elements (SPRO -> EWM -> Interfaces -> ERP Integration -> Goods movement)
2. ensure the availability group configuration is correct (SPRO -> EWM -> GR Process -> Configure availability group for putaway) - check all applicable nodes in this configuration since the availability group code is assigned in the pertinent storage types
