Can I write hebrew books using the iBooks Author ?

You could try, but iBooks Author has the RTL bugs as Pages, which makes it unsuitable for Arabic/Hebrew for most people. You could try copy/paste from another app and see what problems you run into...

Does iBooks Author support iPhone?

I don't have an iPad and I would like to know if you can make a iBook for the iPhone with iBooks author. I don't see any way to have a preview with my iPhone 4 S. I find this strange because iPhone have iBook and I really like reading a book when I'm on the go and I find the iPad a bit too bit to carry.

I don't believe this is correct. I can export the book with IBA as a .ibooks file and add the book to iTunes. However, in iTunes, that book then is not available for syncing to an iPhone, only for syncing to an iPad.
At least that's what happens for me.
It is doubtful that an iBook would work on the tiny iPhone screen. Certainly not without endless zooming which, incidentally, doesn't work with iBooks anyway: you can pinch open to zoom into a page but, as soon as you let go, the page snaps back to normal size.

Does iBooks author and iBooks support thai fonts?

I ,live in Thailand,want to create books by using iBook author but from what i've know iBook only support one font for THAI language, is it true or not.
Also does iBooks author support modifed thai font from the internet?
Last one, can I use .ibooks for limited usage not for public?
Thank you for your answer

The iPad only has one Thai font, Thonburi, and you cannot embed other fonts using iBook Author. Here is some info about using other apps

Does the iBooks Author support Right-to-Left languages?

Hi,
I wish to know if the iBooks Author support languages which are written from Right to Left, such as Arab, and Hebrew.
Moreover, can it show those foreign letters?
Does it look okay, or unorganized?
And another small thing - can you upload a textbook, written by yourself, to your iPad without having a developer account?

iBooks Author can certainly display RTL scripts, but it has various bugs which make it unsuitable for composing them for many users. There is no setting for text direction and cursor operation is broken, making editing extremely difficult. Copy/paste may work sometimes, but iBooks has been reported to misplace characters and have other problems.

PNG-8, PNG-24, or does IBooks Author optimize images?

We have a fairly large reference book that is being converted to IBooks Author. The book contains hundreds of line art drawing that are being colored. Because of the large amount of drawings we are considering using PNG-8 format, but for some reason in the back of my mind I thought IBooks Author used PNG-24 only.
Does IBooks Author optimize images?
We are using Photoshop “Save for Web” feature to save the files. Dimensions are 2048 x 1536.
Here is the file size of 3 PNG-8 files: 42k, 58k, 55k
Here is the file size of the same 3 PNG-24 files: 71k, 102k, 99k
The colors and quality seems to stay the same. Can anyone see any “gotchas” before I continue? Hate to add hundreds of PNG-8 files only to need to replace them later.
Thanks,
Rhek

Drilling down into an exported .ibooks file, shows info an example png as follows:

I put my ibook author file in the trash and then accidentally emptied my trash. Is there a way to recover the file? Does iBooks Author have a backup?

if you use time machine, you should be able to get it back that way. Although IBA saves changes on an ongoing basis, it doesn't create a back up or supplemental copy elsewhere on your drive.

Could you please provide the correct name of the app you are talking about (it cannot be iBooks Author, which does not exist for the iPad)? All Apple apps should display in the language which you have your OS set to.

Does the eBooks created by iBooks Author support for iphone now?

I have been read some blogs discussing that the iPhone could gain new support for ebooks made by iBooks Author. And now, I wanna know whether the prediction is true or not. I can' t find any annoucement from Apple to confirm this point. Does anyone answer my confusion.

With the current software ..books created using iBooks Author cannot be viewed on iPhones.
iBooks Author creates books that can only...be used with iPads and on Macs with Mavericks installed, by using iBooks.
Thats it...no rumours. Blogs or to be more accurate...some of those who contribute to them seem to either be totally stupid, or like to make themselves look as if they have inside knowledge.
Apple created iBooks Author to allow self publishers create and publish books to the store. But not just novels or text only type books. iBA made these books allow audio / video ..and much much more than any novel. That being so....most interactive multi media books will not really display well on a screen the size if the iPhone.
Apple are more concerned in getting iPads in use more by business and education at all levels.
The only rumour that may well become fact is a larger sized screen for a bigger iPad mid to late 2014.

I need an email address for iBooks Author support. Does anyone out there have that info?

I am unable to raise anyone at Apple regarding support for the iBooks Author App. Does anyone know of an email address or telephone number for that support group.Thank you

Apple does not provide application support via email. You can call the standard Apple technical support lines for assistance, though I don't know how expert the technicians will be in that particular application, and you'll quite probably have to pay for the support call.
You might try posting your issue/question in the iBooks Author forum here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/books/ibooks_author
I suspect you'll be more likely to get an answer there than you will by calling Apple.

Will iBooks author support webgl in widgets?

It would be great to include interactive 3D games in iBooks Author widgets. But Javascript is going to need some help to accomplish this. Does anyone know if webgl will be supported or if there some other way of rendering 3D graphics in the iBooks widgets.

Don't be ridiculous Dan-o... Why can't we get a 3D character to describe the book for children? a character that uses Javascript and WebGL shading to draw..?
iAds does WebGL...
Safari 5.1 now integrates a WebGL Mode to test...
Please add support for WebGL APPLE!

Does iBooks Author work on Macbook pro?

Does the iBook Author applications only work on Mac's and not Macbook pro's? I suspect this is correct, but am hopful that maybe I missed something somewhere.
Thanks.

Why does ibooks author automatically resize all images of a gallery?

The point here is, I have more than one graphic files (not pictures taken by a camera) to put into one gallery widget of an iBooks Author document. Unfortunately, not all figures have the same height/width aspect ratio. If I put them together in the gallery, some of them have cropped widths others have cropped heights. Impossible to losslessly fit all into the same gallery. If I scale alle figures to the same width, the result is acceptable for the figure with the highest heigth, all other figures are cropped again.
Well in a first time, I was not that much concerned, but the iBooks Author Quality check refused to publish such eBooks, where some picutes appear cropped in the small view (not in the full-screen view).
Now, why is the iBA software automatically sizing all images of a gallery w.r.t. the center of an image? It would be of much more help, to leave some white background boarders on images of un-equal height, as long as the width of all images is exactly the same. The crop-pan function would then be useful to individually place a smaller-than-the-rest image in that frame of its larger precedecor image.
Can this autosize function be turned off? Am I really forced to paste smaller images into a white image of the maximum height/width of the galery's largest image?

If you have differently shaped (height/width) images that you want to place in one gallery....
The first image you place will determine the shape (max height and width) of your gallery mask, so choose it wisely.
Before you add each image to the gallery go to photoshop and:
1. Size the IMAGE to be at the max height OR width of your gallery mask -- do this if you want at least one dimension (height or width) to fit all the way across or up and down in the gallery mask.
2. Size the CANVAS to the same height and width of your first image (the size of your gallery mask).
I hope this makes sense and is helpful. Yes, it's ridiculous, but it's the only way I found to make images of different dimensions fit in a gallery.

I have children's books in Japanese, Chinese and Arabic that I am trying to convert into epub formats that ibookstore will accept. My source docs are in ms word or pdf format. I want to use ibooks author for this purpose. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Is there an easy way of importing the children's books into ibooks author? There is an image on every other page. The books has to be in fixed layout format.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated. I understand that ibookstore will accept only epub 3.0 formats for Japanese titles. As I stated earlier, my objective is to make those language books available in ibookstore.

The books has to be in fixed layout format
If you mean keep the same as original, I wouldn't expect to retain that, sorry.
You'd be obligated to either copy/paste in sections/blocks of text, images, etc. or insert from Pages/Word, but either way you can expect to have to rework towards whatever 'fixed' layout you need in an iBA book....that can mean significant work in some examples.
You may want to work with a sample to find out the best workflow in any case.
As for Arabic support, see this thread: Does iBook Author support Arabic...: Apple Support Communities
Good luck.

Does iBook support internal links in PDF eBooks?

Hello,
I am creating an eBook in Adobe InDesign. After exporting to the PDF format I create internal hyperlinks in Adobe Acrobat that allow for better usability in the digital format.
When I open the PDF eBook on the iTouch or iPad, these links do not even show up, let alone even work.
Does iBooks even support links in PDF documents?
These links work when opening in Adobe Reader and Adobe's Digital Editions eBook reader.
Thanks,
-Matt-

This appears to suggest that it does, but with issues

Completely frustrated by iBooks Author and iBooks

I have been writing in iBooks Author for a while to produce a book. I loved what was shown by Apple as possibilities. My book contains a lot of diagrams, the source material are vector images (SVG or PDF). These images are sometimes large and are unreadable, unless the user can zoom in and pan/scroll around.
Given that iOS is PDF-based and that HTML5 has SVG I assumed (mistakenly) that iBooks and iBooks Author would support resolution-independence vector images. Indeed, it will accept PDF often, but on creation of the .ibook, it produces low resolution bitmaps. There is no decent way to create image viewing that enables a user to look at a diagram that cannot be read on page size of an iPad2. Interactive Image will allow larger images (up to 4096pixels wide in landscape mode), but to let the user zoom you need fake viewpoints that point somewhere and in all, creating something where the user can pan/scroll/zoom is ugly and a pain.
I have been looking at HTML5 widgets to see if one can get around this. But here too, iBooks Author seems not to allow SVG in those (just displays empty, so does iBooks Author kills the SVG on export from .iba to .ibooks?). SO, I hoped the standards of iOS (PDF and HTML5) woul dsolve any problem, but iBooks Author seems to make sure it does not work.
I am so frustrated that I am close to giving up. iBooks Author and Ibooks need (for me):
- handling vector-images (SVG and PDF) (come on, Apple, how can you be so slow with supporting resolution independence, especially given Retina iPads?)
- the ability to let the user pan/scroll over large images that can be zoomed in/out
And I am not talking about stupid things like not being able to replace an image inside a picture element with a new image without losing the picture element and having to manually redo all the links to it.
It has been more than a half year since Apple released iBooks Author. Unless I find a way to let the reader investigate larger diagrams, preferably interactive ones, e.g. created as a HTML5 widget with SVG objects in it, or unless Apple delivers a product with less problems bugs and such, my project needs to move away from iBooks.

Thanks, but I am not going to try anything else. I have lost any trust in iBooks Author that I can get this right.
First, it means buying Keynote just for this experiment and besides that means that my images all end up in a widget (I have many inlines now) which will also not be exported properly in PDF.
I am unhappy enough that I have to buy Pages to save my project (if I had known this in advance, I would probably have written the book in TeX and try to find a decent paper publisher) and lose all the nice interaction ideas I had.
If iBooks and iBooks Author still exist a year after I have finished my old fashioned book, maybe. So far, this looks like another beta-never-to-be-kept-alive-in-a-decent-way product attempt at Apple. Stuff gone like iWeb or iDVD (colleague bought his Mac, used iMove to create a Movie and wanted to create a DVD. Turns out he needs to shell out $99 for Roxio to do that. Not a happy camper).
