How can I automatically import images into iBook Author?
I'd like to make a photo book with a couple hundred photos.
Aside from manually inserting each page, inserting each image, placing/resizing it on the page, is there an easier way to insert many images, and flow them one per page?
thanks in advance
There is no built-in support for automatic inserts, sorry.
I can imagine whipping up an Autormator/AppleScript to do that job, however - in which case success lies in your abilities to put that together, of course.

I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
I'm stuck, Please help me!Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho. -
How can I add an ePub into iBook author?
I am trying to insert an ePub file created on the App "My Story" into iBook author, any suggestions?
Copy/paste
Open in Pages - use iBA's 'Insert Chapters from Pages' menu.
Either of those should work, basically. You'll need to check font substitution, etc. -

New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx
-TomThe amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem. -

How can I print the TOC in iBooks Author?
Share/Export a PDF?
Use the Print menu to output a PDF if you don't care for iBA's banners, etc.
You can also screenshot off your iPad, too

How can I batch import images 1 per page?
I need to import images into the same Fireworks file, 1 per page. I have about 60 to do, and I'm hoping there's a better way then just adding them one by one. How can I batch import so that a page is created for each image?
You can use the Import Files into Pages command in this extension: http://johndunning.com/fireworks/about/PageCommands
Just select all the files in the file selection dialog. They'll be imported one to a page, sorted by their filename. -
Importing full-page images into iBooks Author (without image degradation)
Hi ,, I have had little success importing images created with paint programs such as Corel Sketchpad, Photoshop, Corel Painter, etc. Everything seems to work just fine, but there are pixelated artifacts in the final image that shows on the iPad. I create the orginal images at 1024 x 768 ... and save them as high-qulaity jpgs and pngs .... but still poor qualiting especially where large blocks of solid colors are adjacent to one another.
When I use a vector program such as Flash or Illustrator and export those images as jpgs ... they look perfect on my iPad. I don't want to use a vector program however ... I want to use paint programs.
Anyway have success with paint program images? If so, what is your step-by-step process? Hopefully Apple will fix this bug so that paint program's exported jpgs don't have pixelated artifacts at edge areas. There is also a very noticeable color shift in the imported image .. much ligher and less saturated colors.
In the image below you can see the imported image showing artifacts and the orignal image is not showing artifacts.
Thanks, FrankAn iPad 2 screen is 132 - new ipad is 264.
In cases where you're seeing noticable degradation I wouldn't work with less than 132.
Start high and reduce....don't try to make low do something it can't by simply adjusting the resolution up.
I tend to avoid those 'paint programs' And remember, this isn't just about iBooks Author....iOS does the heavy lifting, but sure, it can only do as good as iBA spits out. I think they're working to trim the sails on compression etc. and it will only get better over time.
The @2x scheme is working well for iOS - I have some stunning graphics for the new iPad in my latest app.
Good luck. -
How can I insert an image into an mov file in iMovie while keeping the background music?
I have a short MOV file movie clip that has background music but one of the images (it's a static element with text) is incorrect. How can I replace the image but keep the backgroup the same? Also what size would the image need to be to properly fit?
Thank you!Hi hyue,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to add an image to a project in iMovie for iOS, see this article for helpful steps:

Do MathType equations in Word import effectively into iBooks Author?
I am looking for the best way to build MathType equations in Word to successfully import into iBooks Author.
That seems like an extra step. Since iBooks Author (iBA) already has a "MathType Equation" command on its Insert menu, why not do it directly from iBA?
If, however, you want to do it as you describe (or perhaps you have an existing Word document and you want to use its equations in iBA -- that makes sense), you'll need to build the equations in Word, then select the one you want (i.e., click on it once), copy it, then use the Insert > MathType Equation command in iBA. When MathType opens, paste the equation into the window. Close MathType and the equation will insert into iBA.
Incidentally, WRT TX Aggie SE's suggestion to use the MS Word Equation Editor, I think you'll find that'll produce less than satisfactory results in iBA, no matter if you use the "old" equation editor, or the "new" one that was introduced in Word 2011. -

How do I correctly import images into Lightroom?
Before installing Adobe Creative Cloud, I deleted Adobe Elements and all files in My Pictures on my hard drive so I could start fresh. I copied groups of images from CS5 Bridge on my old pc onto an empty flashdrive and tried to import them to Lightroom. In addition to those copied images, whole bunches of other images imported. Even worse, those added images were sorted strangely, not even belonging to the groups as I had them in my old pc.
Since you used the Copy import type, at least the images are also where they originally were, other than those on the flash-drive which was a temporary location for images from another location except when you plug it in.
So there seem to be two unexpected things: more images were imported than you wanted to be imported, and some of the images are in folders that don't match the date they were taken.
The folder-date mismatch might be due to some of the photos not having a taken-date in the exif information so the date they were last modified is used, instead. You should check your destination naming options in LR to see if you have things set to import into date folders or not. If not, then you actually specified that LR import a particular import's photos into a specifically-named folder that you typed the name of.
As far as how extra photos got imported, only you can answer that. It would have to do with where you told LR to import from and if you have Include Subfolders selected. There is a way to specify an Auto Import folder using LR / File / Auto Import where LR will watch for photo files and import photos it see show up in that folder, but I doubt that is the problem.
You'll have to decide on what to do now. If you have all the photos still on the flash drive, then you might want to start over. However, also think about if you want to be doing a Copy Import into your pictures folder from everywhere else, or if you want to use Explorer to copy the photos, yourself, outside of LR and do an Add import. A Copy import from the flash drive could make more sense, since that is only a temporary location for the photos, but for other photos already on your computer, an Add import might make more sense. If you use your OS copy commands to move photos from the flash drive to your computer's internal drive, you can decide what to name the folders, instead of LR choosing, if you have LR Import set to use dates.
If things aren't in completely the wrong places, you can drag-and-drop within the LR Library Folders panel to put things where you want, and you can also right-click Remove (without deleting from disk) any extra photos.
Also, there is nothing magic about the Pictures folder. You can choose to make a new folder and put your LR photos under it.
The bottom line is that LR isn't doing anything more than what you told it to do, and it sounds like you just aren't aware of all the settings enabled during your imports so unexpected things happened. -
How can i automate importing certificates?
My company is using zScaler for web filtering and we are trying to figure out how we can import certificate into firefox. I have tried copying the cert.db from one machine to another but the problem is that the page only loads with text, which implies the certificate is half working. if we remove the cert and manually import the cert it works fine. we are trying to find a way to automate the deployment of this certificate to 100+ machines. Please advise if this is possible.
I have not done this before, however there is posted information about with how to attempt this, for example: [http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/15158-firefox-trust-a-local-certificate-authority-for-all-users-and-computers]
There is also the ESR community that does this alot. Check out their lists for community questions [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/] -
How can I load preview images into an extra file?
Hi,
I've got a question concerning those preview images. I wrote a plugin which uses the actual paths of the photos in the catalog an stores those paths of each photo into a log file. Then an external program has access to that file for further handling. So now I would like to use preview photos instead of the raw images. First, because the user might want to use the picture he/she edited with Lightroom; And then because of the size.Processing a preview image of level 5 would be more efficient than the original photo.
So how can I get those preview photos? And more important: is it possible to store them in an extra file in a jpg format for instance, so that an external program can make use of them?Look at source code in PreviewExporter plugin.
