Help with Title and Author Displaying on the iBooks Bookshelf.

I have created a book using iBooks Author and connected my iPad to my iMac to Preview my book, the book previews correctly the information I have entered into iBooks Author, however when you look on the iBooks Bookshelf it says UNKNOWN TITLE and UNKNOWN ARTIST even though I have entered this on my title page in iBooks Author, however the icon of my book on the iBooks Bookshelf is showing correctly the photo on the cover and the title and author, can any one help with this please?
Also no Category is showing against my book onthe iBooks Bookshelf how do I add one please?

To be honest, you should really put this under a seperate post of your own, but I'm not here to whine...
It sounds that you haven't defined the book title yet.
Open your book in iBooks Author and go to the panel on the left-hand side of your screen that shows your page thumbnails. Scroll to the top of this box, and find the panel that has the:
Book Title
Intro media
Table of contents
Glossary.
If your Book Title here says simply 'Book Title', then define it by double-clicking on the 'Book Title' text in the thumnails panel, and type in your book's title.
HTH.

HT1645 Hello, does anyone know of good DVD burning software for Mac? I've got two 8 min 25 sec mov files to put on a DVD with title and a menu for the two. I've tried it with iDVD five times, each time waiting over an hour and then getting an error mess

I have a short film I produced and I need to burn off copies however I am having no end of trouble with finding a simple DVD burning programme.
I tried a few but no luck. I am trying with mov files and I can't see where the cog is happening. If anyone has any good and relatively inexpensive solutions, please let me know!
Thanks so much!
Cheers

Welcome to the forums.
If you'd like to continue trying with iDVD, one of Apple's resources shows HT 1645 to be an encoding error (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645), so I would suggest starting a new iDVD project and set the iDVD Preferences to make sure they match to your project. In particular, you should be using the Pro encoding setting or Best Performance for projects with a total length under an hour (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5417).
Roxio Toast is an excellent burning tool and part of my work flow after I've used iDVD to create a disk image. Toast will not have the nice iDVD menus, but can do many other tasks besides DVD creation. (Disk images can help in the DVD creation process -- here's one of many discussions: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15469221#15469221)

Need help with transparency and color quality in the forground

I need to make an image that is comprised of a collage in the back with a clear visible logo on top. I'm not sure if I'll need to change the hue's of the background collage images to create the image or if theres a way to make the image somewhat see through but keep true to the colors of the forground?

I agree with Trevor. I think you are over thinking the issue. Just place a logo in the same document, scale it, adjust its opacity if necessary and your done. As for the background of the logo, that can depend on how it was created. Preferable in photoshop so that you have a transparent background. But if the background happens to be pure white or black, you can use blend modes to remove the background.
But I am getting ahead of my self. Lets see how you do, post your results, if necessary a screen capture of photoshop with the layers panel open.

Where does iBooks get the title and author?

Sorry, this isn't really to do with Pages 09, but I see no more appropriate place for my questiion.
I'm writing an application for personal use (and I'm only writing it for fun, really), which converts text files to ePub format, separating chapters, adding cover art, and so on. It works, except that when I put the generated ePubs into the Books folder of iTunes, the title and author do not show correctly, being replaced by the strings "#title# and "#author#" respectively. The title and author are shown in other parts of the books, such as the body of the Title Page, however, when read in iBooks, though are again incorrect in the page headers.
Do you know where iTunes and iBooks looks in the ePub system (for want of a better word) to find these two items?
Both title and author appear correctly, where appropriate, in:
toc.ncx: <docTitle> <text>Here is the title</text> </docTitle>
title.html: Here is the title
Name of author
content.opf: <dc:title>Here is the title</dc:title>
<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Name of author</dc:creator>
But I must have missed something!

My title and author name doesn't show in the preview on the bookshelve?

An earlier post said I could share/exit as epub and that would fix the problem, but that function is not there anymore?
The title and author was there in the beginning of my project but suddenly it has disappeared?
What can be the problem?
Hope you can help - Im so frustrated :-(

Thanks for reaching out.
I have created at book and would like to add the author (My name) and title of the book. I have changed the title, the author added a picture ect. but when I send to preview my finished book shows up in the Ibook shelf under "no author"?
I have created my book from the template "basic".
The attached screen dumps are made from a new test a just made with only 3 pages and same thing happend to this test - NO AUTHOR ??
see exsample here...

How do I get the book title and author to appear on all pages?

I'm trying to create a new layout, and I can't quite figure out some of the auto-text boxes.
I'd like the book title, and author to appear at the top of the pages.
Also, I'd like the chapter title to be at the top of the page for the subsequent chapter pages, but not in the same size as the chapter title at the beginning of the chapter.
I've tried copying the chapter text box in layouts, then applying it to the chapter pages. However, when I reformat the copied box for text size and orientation, the reformat effects all instances of that text box. Grr.
(I know this all sounds like too much text and garbage on each page, but it's for an instructional piece that people will likely print a page or two at a time)

Hello Andy,
Have you looked at the Layout Section.
If it is not visible pull down the handle and the master pages are there down the list for you to add and change.
Just first duplicate any page that you may want to change and then add the name and author titles to that page and press "APPLY"
I hope this helps…
Regards,

Is there a way of showing more info than just the title and author for books in my iPad "library", say date downloaded, or date last read, eg ?

Sometimes I forget the title of a book I am currently reading, and have to check through each book in my long list of titles in my "library" to find it again. I cant see any way of adding any additional information to each title (and author), like date downloaded, or date last read, which would help me find a particular book again quickly.
I may be missing something simple, so can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on you can easily upload each album to the site.
Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow. Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

I just lost my iphone5 in a foreign country. Was not able to previously register it with icloud and have not installed the findmy iphone app. How can i wipe out my data remotely without these setups? Is there any good app i can use to track it? Please help!

No, nothing you can do to track it if you did not take any measures before the loss.

HT4059 Why won't the titles of books update on my iPad? I went through and changed a lot of then, but when synced the titles and authors are the same.

I updated over 100 book titles and authors and when synced, everything is the same as it was before on my iPad. When it's connected to the computer the changed names are there.

Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.
