Definitive cover size for books on iPad?

My iTunes Producer uploads keep failing and I get this "support" message:
Your book, vendor ID: XXXXXXXXX, could not be delivered. The following images are larger than two million pixels and must be resized:
Full ePub:
/OPS/CoverDesign.jpg..."
This contradicts an earlier "error" trying to upload the book when it told me my dimensions were too small at 1200 x 1920, and that I should make the width 1400 pixels.
Can anyone provide a definitive size - or at least a maximum width or height?

Minimum WIDTH for a cover is 1400.
If you use an image editor which allows allows adjustments of width and height and "constraint" or any option that locks the two dimension undo and select only width at 1400 at 72 ppi/dpi what ever you get back - is OK.
For what its worth I create the cover in iBA, zoom out so I can see all the corners and do a screen grab using Snagit. I edit that with Snagit or Adobe Fireworks as above.

Cover pages for books?

I want to have cover pages for all of my books in iTunes and in iBooks on my mobile devices, just as the album artworks for my music collection.
As I noticed, iTunes and iBooks use the first page of PDF documents as the cover page. For ePub documents, sometimes a cover page is shown, sometimes not. It seems to depend on the online store (or the producer) of the document.
So I got several questions on this topic:
1. Why do cover pages show up for some ePubs and not for others? How can I straighten out the cover pages for these documents?
2. In pdf documents the cover page is almost always included somewhere in the document itself, but not always on page 1. How can I change the cover page for pdf documents from page 1 to say page 3?
3. For mp3s, I can change the album artwork over id3-tags. So the artwork is included standard compliant and is shown when I use other software or hardware to play them. Is there a standard compliant way to add images as cover pages to documents?
Can anybody help me out?

I made a hardcover 11 x 8.5" book of 78 pages and it is holding up fine so far. The first copy that Apple sent me came with the pages pulled out of the binding, but they resent a new one right away. I was skeptical at first that a thicker book like that may not hold up, but so far I'm not having any problems.

Ratings for books on iPad?

Is the concept of 'rating's for ibooks supported on the iPad?
I.e. if a book is rated with itunes, can you somehow see that rating on the ipad? And the other way around: is it possible to rate a book after having read it and have that rating show up on Mac/PC?

Minimum WIDTH for a cover is 1400.

How do I get to updates page for books on iPad

I apparently have 51 books needing updated on my iPad Air. How do I get to my updates page please?

Hi Liz,
You must be noticing the updates badge next to the Purchased button in the navigation bar. If you click on purchased, you can scan the items for the ones that have an update.

I'm not seeing a filter for "updates only" however.
Best regards,

Best slide size for displaying on ipad?

What size of slide should I be creating on my MacBook for displaying on the iPad?

From the Apple website, the iPad screen is 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi), so I would guess the default size of 1024 x 768 would be the best. However I don't have an iPad and have never used one, so you may want to ask in the community dedicated to iWork for iOS.

What pixel size for A5 on iPad 2?

I need to make some A5 leaflet in Photoshop Touch on my iPad 2.
I don't know what pixel size to use for A5. I was told 2480x1754 but this prints way too small on my printer.
Any ideas?!
Thanks.

I don't see a way to at least increase the quality in the apps that the Photosmart uses. Still, it might not be the printer's fault since you can't set the DPI in PS Touch...at least not yet. What's the default at? 72 DPI?

Iphoto 11 - page size for book

Hi,
I'm using iphoto 11 and i would like to produce a book that will be printed on A4 pages.
i want to produce a pdf file on an a4 page format.
how can i do that ?

I'm not sure that you can.
iPhoto books come a variety of sizes, none of them A4. Therefore attempting to print onto A4 will result in either cropping or distortion.

Cover size for IP4 and IP4 S

The size measurements seem to be exactly the same for both phones. I'm wondering if I can use a case from a IP4 on my new IP 4 S? I read somewhere that the side buttons (volume and muting) are in slightly different locations. I have a case in mind for my 4S, but don't want to buy it if it doesn't allow access to the side buttons.
Anyone know the answer to this ?

I believe I saw in an earlier thread that the buttons are indeed in different locations. I don't know why, but I am 99.9% positive this is true. You might want to consider buying a new case.

Optimal DPI and size for book?

I will be scanning slides for a ibook project which means I can size them any way I want. Can anyone tell me the best DPI that the ibook printers like. Rather than let the program resize I'd prefer to do it myself, is there a way of finding out the exact photo box dimensions so I can size my scan exactly.
Thanks for any help.

I will be scanning slides for a ibook project which means I can size them any way I want. Can anyone tell me the best DPI that the ibook printers like.
Any photo that will print less than 180 DPI will generate a low resolution warning - Any thing over 300 DPI is overkill - so between 180 and 300 dpi for the final print
Rather than let the program resize I'd prefer to do it myself, is there a way of finding out the exact photo box dimensions so I can size my scan exactly.
The photo frames are in a 4:3 ratio and range from about 1 3/8 x 1 7/8 to 8 1/2 x 11 (the full page is not 4:3)
Since your photos are not going to be 4:3 unless you crop them you may want to right click on them after placing them and choose fit to frame so the entire photo prints

Is there a way to increase the font size for the "songs" and "artists" lists in the new music app for iPad 2 (iOS 5)? It is too small for me.

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..

Cover flow for the ipad

Why is no Cover flow for the iPad 2 with OS 5?

I made a newer post about this same topic (trying to be a little more strategic) and this time I included a link to a video demonstrating my point. Here's the post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6574743#6574743.
I couldn't agree with you more on the custom folder icon issues. I'm beginning to find out what the problem is on that. I have used the newest version of Candy Bar for my Home directory icons and that works fine, but there are some folders that I want to use a different icon for and leave the rest as they are. Candy Bar can't do this for me (as it only works with the generic icons) and so I used Apple's Icon Composer application (in the Developer Tools) to make the correct icon sizes for Leopard and then saved them as .icns but then copying and pasting that on a folder would result in the default ICNS icon and not my custom icon (that was under 10.5.1). So I finally got the custom icon to appear, but it only works for sizes 128x128 and lower, even though I put a 512X512 version in there. That's why it doesn't show up in Cover Flow. For some reason, Leopard "blacks" out anything larger than 128x128 on "Cut and Paste" icons. I found that out by copying my custom icon from the Get Info panel and then opening that in Preview and it shows a black background for the larger icons instead of the alpha channel. I'm still trying to figure this out. Also, IconBuilder seems to be doing the same thing (making and ICNS file) but it seems to work better. I haven't used that since I've upgraded to Leopard but from what I've read it should work, but I don't have Photoshop right now. Well, thanks for posting and agreeing with me on the Carousel view and I hope you check out my video. Thanks.

Ideal size for publishing for iPad

I'm creating a interactive eBook with pages being designed in Edge Animate. As of revision 28 of the DPS viewer, the 20px iOS status bar will always be displayed. As a result, I set my article size and folio size (landscape only) to be 1024 x 748. However, the in the viewer there is a 20px vertical black line that overlaps the far right edge of my article. How do I fix this? What is the correct folio size and article size when targeting landscape iPads?

Thanks for your replies. I've set the document size/margins as recommended by joev.
Joev - I'm getting a 12 pixel black bar on the right side of my articles ...
What is this and how do I remove it?
Thanks,
Patrick
