Driving a TV from the iBook

Was at a friends recently and discovered they have no DVD player (lets not go down that black hole !) [G4 iBook 1.2GHz]
But said I have my iBook so lets just play my DVD through your TV. Easier said than done !
1. I tried using the small jack socket on the side and driving a SCART input on the TV via small jack to 3 x phono cable. Similar to Apple AV cable. Cable worked fine for my miniDV camera to TV. Get low volume soundtrack but nothing else.
2. Tried Apple mini-VGA to s-video adaptor and then s-video cable to back of SCART plug which takes s-video input. Get b/w video but no sound.
3. Combined above with (2) plus connected one of the phono cables from (1) [yellow i think] so now get v low volume sound and b/w video of good quality.
I had thought that either 1 or 2 would work. Neither did. I have a nasty solution and no idea where i am going wrong. Can anyone help ?
I have seen this Apple ref doc on subject number 88396.

The headphone port on the iBook G4 is just that: A headphone port. It carries no video information at all, only audio. It seems to me that you'll need to get a different audio adapter cable.
2. Tried Apple mini-VGA to s-video adaptor and then s-video cable to back of SCART plug which takes s-video input. Get b/w video but no sound.
The video adapter is video only. There is NO sound being transmitted. As above in #1, you would have to add a headphone to RCA "Y" type audio cable to go from your headphone port to the Red & White RCA plugs in your TV to get the sound.
A Black & White image makes me think you have the wrong video format chosen in the Displays System Preferences. Is your TV PAL or SECAM? In the Display System Preferences, the video display may be set to "NTSC" which is for North America.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

HT5953 How can I move my books from the ibook store to my Android device? I bought the book, so I have every right to move it as I see fit!

The new Ibooks on Mac computers is about the worst thing to happen to Apple in a long time. I bought a book from the Ibook store, and I want to move it to my adnroid device. The thing is refusing to let me move my purchase. I mean, I used my money to purchase a BOOK. How does it make sense that I am limited in the movement of my book, somethng I purchased with my money? Can someone PLEASE explain how that is possible?

First of all, you posted in completely the wrong section.
It says right on the purchase page that you need an iOS device.
The publishers want restrictions on what devices can read the books to make sure everyone pays.
In any case, if you ask google there are lots of converters such as Epubsoft Ebook Converter
I have never used it myself though.

Can I remove a book I created from the iBook Bookstore?

Once I publish my book, can I remove it remove it from the iBooks Bookstore?

Take it off sale in all territories in the store.

Launch a specific app from the iBook?

I'd like to launch an application from a different developer from the iBooks Author document. Is this possible without popping up safari or itunes, if the user already has the app?

There's no way to associate a file with a specific app then....even across apple products (iBook>pages?) Well, that's a bummer. I have found a work around (linking to a specific web page) but if that page moves, or goes away, the book becomes less relevant.
Thanks for the answer KT.

Why have i lost my bookshelf from the ibooks app?

My bookcase has dissappeared from the ibooks app, any ideas?

Apple removed it and the 'book view' for some obscure reason.

I got an error message that I should connect to Wi-Fi after trying to download a Book Sample from the iBooks Store. I still get this error message even after I bought, downloaded, and transferred the file to my iPad's iBook thru iTunes. Wi-Fi ain't cheap.

Hi I had a similar issue to you, I could connect to the router but no internet. Here is my explanation of how I sorted it.....I hope this works for you.
*To anyone that is reading this it appears that the problem lay in the airport setting: IPV6: set to 'Automatically'. I turned it off (after reading someones plight on MacFixIt) & everything is back to normal.*
*The worrying thing is although my problem was extreme with other computers on the network being locked out nothing was changed, one minute it worked the next it didn't. Reading on other forums it appears to be a problem with laptops (but I could be mistaken). A lot of people on the Macfixit forum are complaining of network just dropping out even when they are next to the router.*
*I hope this is the fix (although I dont know why it suddenly went to sh*t!) & I hope my hair pulling & trawling the forums can help someone else out.*
Much Respect

HT4059 Hi, I'm trying to purchase a book from the iBooks store but when I open the app and go to open store it does not go to the library

I'm not able to open the iBooks library

Hello there, Summerrys.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to access the store from iBooks:
iBooks: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about iBooks and the iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059
How do I access the iBooks Store?
An Internet connection is required. On iOS devices, iBooks includes the iBooks Store. Tap the iBooks icon and your bookshelf appears. In the upper corner, tap the Store button and the bookshelf flips around to reveal the iBooks Store. From the iBooks Store, you can browse books by title, author, or genre. You can also view featured books as well as books available on the New York Times bestseller lists (United States only). Tap on a book to see more details and download a free sample. When you buy a book, it will automatically appear on your iBooks bookshelf.
If you are using the iOS 7 app, you may want to try some of the recommended steps in the following Knowledge Base article for troubleshooting the application:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
Check for app updates.
Force the app to close.
Restart your device.
Update your iOS device.
Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Pedro.

Gather data from the iBook readers?

Hi there! I want to add 5 questions to the last page of my iBook. some will be yes\no, some require numerical answer.
is it possible?
where can I "Collect" the data? can i get it in a application the users download from the appStore? to a web server via http?
I need to identiy the user of course...
Thanks!

I think others have managed with a JS widget and their own server. ID is up to you to negotiate w/the user's knowledge and cooperation, etc.

HT5826 iBook app only share books that are purchased directly from the iBook store?

I tried to add a book that I purchased from somewhere else. I was only able to add it to the iBook app on my mac but not to my iPad. Why is this?

When you use the same Mac, they will be available for both of you, unless some of your settings are wrong in System Preferences -> Accounts...

A Tiger Software Update Question from the iBook Forum

I just finished reading this question,
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12901184#12901184
in the iBook G4 forum and am very curious myself if this could be a problem with the update. If someone knows why this is happening, would you please help the poor guy with two dead iBooks?
Thanks,
Randy

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that the other member's question was solved, only my part in it. That must have been confusing. I should go back to mark it unsolved.
I subscribe to the iBook G4 forum and when this question came up, I looked through other forums to try to find an answer for him/her. The Tiger forum seemed like the logical place to post the question. It looks like the right person came to the rescue! Thanks. Discussions members have helped me out by networking like this, so it's great to be able to return the many favors.

HT1430 For some unknown reason my Apple ID password does not work when trying to down load books from the IBook or Nook Apps. It also has stop work when trying to down load new Apps. Any suggestions out their???

For some unknown reason, my Apple ID Password does not work when trying to down load IBooks, Nook books, or new Apps. Everything else seems to work. Any suggestions out their???

I appreciate the info and realize that the Nook App is not related to my Apple account but this too has stopped working. My situation first started with the Nook App not down loading and then has now spread to my IBook and new app downloads. I have checked into my ITunes account and the ID and password are correct and at times when I am asked to submit my Apple password such as setting up this Apple Support Community the ID and password work. My problem seems to be just with trying to use my ID and password when wanting to download new books or apps. I can go into the IBook, Nook, and App stores and seemingly download an item but when clicking on the new book or app nothing happens and I get a message that states it can not get into the ITunes store and it wants me to either try again or cancel. This message appears usually ten minutes after I have tried to make a purchase. At other times when I attempt to download a book or app I lose the screen and the IPad goes into the opening screen. Short of redoing my Apple account or deleting an app and attempting to reload the app (but this won't work because the App store won't load new apps) I don't have a clue what to do.

Anyone else having problems downloading samples from the iBooks store?

A favorite author of mine tweeted to his fans that a free 80-page sample of his next book was available on the iBooks store: https://t.co/7ZfhpWYcfE
But when I get to the store and click 'Get Sample', nothing happens.
I can't seem to find any other discussion on this in the forums (perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough). Anyone else have this problem? Any ways around it? I don't get an error message, but my mouse pointer seems to "hang" for a second after clicking the button, as if something's about to happen. Nothing does.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
