How do I import templates in iBooks Author?

The folder /Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates does not exist.
Even if I make it, it doesn't work.
Thanks
Bas

Same problem
If I Click the Finder icon in the Dock and choose Go > Go to Folder and enter: ~/Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates/My Templates/
I can see a new template listed there, but it does not show when I go to iBA:File:New from Template Chooser.
Here's hoping they sort it out soon!

I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

Probably a simple question, but I'll ask: I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

It can be in portrait orientation or square, but not landscape.

How to filter certificate templates in Certificate Authority snap-in with the correct values

How to filter certificate templates in Certificate Authority snap-in with the correct values
I have a 2012 R2 server running Microsoft Certificate Authority snap-in.
I want to do a filter on a specific Certificate Template which i know exists in the 'Issued Certificates' folder.
All the documentation i can find seems to suggest i copy the certificate name and use this in the View Filter.
1). I add the 'Certificate Template' option into the Field drop-down.
2). I leave the Operation as the '=' symbol
3). I paste in just the name of the template in question. for example: 'my computers'
The search results always come back blank 'There are no items to show in this view.' even when i know there are many instances of this template. I've tried on a win 2008 server and same issue.
Is there a correct value to enter for the Certificate Template name?
Can this be done easier using certutil commands?
When i run the certutil tool i can confirm i have several issued templates. Certutil -catemplates -v > c:\mytemplate_log.csv
Anybody know what i'm doing wrong?
I seem to be getting nowhere with this one.

> But its important you are using the template name, not the display name
this is incorrect. OIDs are mapped to *display name*, not common name (it is true for all templates except Machine template). That is, in order to translate template name to a corresponding OID, you need to use certificate template's display name. And, IIRC,
template name in the filter can be used only for V1 templates. For V2 and higher, OID must be used.

Size & scale images before import or let iBooks Author do it?

I'm importing images into iBooks Author and wondering if I should size them and compress them to roughly the size I need them on the page thus redicing their file size. Or go with the highest resolution and quality and just let iBooks Author compress and scale the pictures. Wonder also what gets the best result.
Is there any benefit to importing high resolution TIF or highest quality JPEGs???
Any help, thoughs, tips appreciated.

Open the Help files and check the section dealing with Graphics.
Better, if you have an iTunes Connect ( if not get one you will need it) account you should open it look for Deliver your Content, top right are a group of PDFs download them.
One is the Asset guide - which give full info about graphics. Including.. Tiff is not acceptable.
Maximum image file size is 3.2 megabyte. For iPad retina ( and basically everything) 2048 x 1536 rsolution is of choice really, subject to the file size and the books size max of 2 gig. Unless all your images are intended for full screen, re-size to suit your layout.
iBA does not compress or scale anything.. thats your job.. and if you get it wrong.. the book will be rejected by the preview team until you sort it out.
Save yourself work and time, download and study the asset guide and the help files.

How Do I Create a New Template for iBooks Author?

Apple's provided templates are way too narrow for some of the ideas I want to implement. I do not see any real method for creating a template from scratch. I stripped one of the available templates down to nothing and rebuilt some of the pages and then selected Save As Template... but iBooks Author keeps the original template as the content instead of allowing me to use my own created Chapter, Section, and Pages with the Add Pages.. Button.
How to you create a new template from scratch? I think it is absurd if you can only create a new template from one of the 6 predefined templates.

Be careful on unlocking and deleting stuff, cause this very easily can destroy the layout and your current arrangement
About dimensions, If i am not mistaken, i read on another thread that this cannot be happen.

How can I insert footnotes in iBooks Author?

I just wanted to insert some footnotes or endnotes in iBooks Author, but I cannot find out how.
I´ll be grateful for all suggestions.
e

I don't think they dropped the ball at all really. This is Version 1 and judging from the package contents employees at Apple have been at making this app for over a year. Send feedback to Apple requesting an enhancement and maybe it will show up in the future.
I know everyone expects a lot out of Apple, but this is a free offering and probably the best one out there to make an eBook as it stands right now. I agree footnotes, bibliographies and even other print based standards should be worked into the app, but also remember that this is an eBook and perhaps footnotes aren't as useful anymore in a hyperlink context.
It would almost be easier for someone to import footnotes into a database on a custom built website. Then find a way to create hyperlinks from the text to the entries of the database.
Also, just because you can drop in text generated from Pages or elsewhere doesn't necessary mean it should be done in the scope we are discussing. A footnotes import isn't practical by any means. Glossary terms could be imported though, but in what format? There are several standards footnotes are written so how could you match it up programmatically page by page? I suppose if everything were tagged a certain way it would help, but even that solution would require the author or designer to sit in front of a spreadsheet tagging every term that requires a footnote and glossary term.
I think DTM82 had a good idea. If you have footnotes already formatted from a previous text, maybe you could create a layout with a footer text box and connect that box sequentially throughout the pages that are created. That way you could paste in the footnotes to the text box at the beginning of each section or chapter and create page breaks where they need to end on each page.
I'll experiment with this idea and if I can get it to work, I'll post the solution.

Import from Quark - iBooks Author?

Any chance this can import book layouts from Quark?
I have a book that was originally published by a service bureau using Quark. You'd be amazed at how hard it is to get those Quark files converted to another format at a reasonable price. The choice seems to be to pay $800 for Quark (ok, not huge money, but hate to pay that much for software I'll only use once) or to pay some service bureau even more to do the conversion for you.
Haven't been able to find someone willing to just load in quark and export to a more compatible format at a good price yet. Considering the work required (ie: 10 minutes) you would think someone would be in the business.
There would clearly be a business in this, or if Apple just wanted to get faster uptake on books they could create a webservice to convert Quark, Indesign or other common file formats to iBooks Author so people could get their books online quicker.

You cannot bring in pre-designed page elements or test stylesheets (Quark Layout, InDesign Layouts) directly into iBooks Author to auto-magically maintain your books formatting as it was originallly laid out within your Quark layout files.
The best you can do for your Quark layout files is export all of the text into manageable chucks (unsure how large your book is) and begin importing into iBooks author. Just be aware you will most likely lose any stylsheets (bolding, colorization, paragraph formats) and will have to redo this within iBook Author. If you book has images you will have to get your hands on the original image files that were used during the production of your book as a Quark layout does not store any placed images within its document structure.
With the recent versions of Quark 9...you can now easily export your layouts as eBook formats..perhaps this is what you need done...
Again I am assuming how your book is layed out...perhaps it is as simple as you state. Doable yes. Time commitment yes. Costly? Depends who recreates it for you.

Importing PDF to iBooks Author

I have a double column book in PDF format of over 300 pages. Is there some way (other than dragging and dropping each of the hundreds of pages into iBooks Author) to import this book into iBooks Author with correct formatting?

Calibre might work.
The dual column could be an issue though.
If it doesn't work, here's a "How To Geek" article on the topic.
http://www.howtogeek.com/80098/convert-pdf-files-to-word-documents-and-other-for mats-2/
There's a bunch of online options given here. I think they're all free for documents up to a certain size.

Formatting lost importing Pages to iBooks Author

I having a problem importing a text file from Pages '09 to iBooks Author maintaining some formatting.
My Pages document has some text in bold and some in bold and italics in addition to normal text. Everything is in Arial font in Pages.
When I import the document into iBooks Author all the bold italic text shows up as normal text. About 75% of the bold only text shows up as bold and the rest as normal. When the bold words are in the middle of other text, the bold format is maintained. When the bold text is at the start of a line it shows up as bold or normal after the import.
Any help would be appreciated.

Check the styles in use on the Pages side versus the styles applied on the iBA side....
Test to see if they are reliably honored....

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.
