You can only return the machine if you're within 14 days of purchase - otherwise you're just 'stuck' with what you purchased (unless you sell it, of course).
I always recommend that Retina owners order 16GB of RAM as the RAM is not upgradable - it's soldered onto the logic board.
Your call - if you're with 14 days of purchase, take it back and exchange for a 16GB model. Or sell it and buy a model with 16GB. The higher amount of memory will allow you to run far more memory-hungry apps concurrently.
Good luck,

I'm a Canadian wishing to publish interactive books for both the Canadian and US markets. However, I've heard that Canadians would/do not have access to these interactive textbooks. Has this changed? If not, is there any indication that it will?

US only at this time.
Apple doesn't discuss future plans, sorry.

Enhanced book for iPad, built on iBooks Author

Hi all
I am sorry if these are similar questions to ones asked before, but I wondered if things might be different since they were last asked.
I have delivered an enhanced book built for iPad and it is currently in the review status, not in 51 stores. My questions (of which I have heard many myths about):
1) As it's an enhanced book (created on iBooks Author), there are lots of videos, galleries etc which make the publication about 1 gig. I have heard that although there is a 2 gig limit, some authors have had responses from Apple saying that it should be kept to max 200mb and therefore rejected. True or false do you reckon?
2) Mine is a travel guide about a specific area of Spain and it is all about solutions to the traveller. Therefore as well as lots of text, there is a Useful Links section that links to companies websites such as car hire - their logos are next to the URL's in my book. Do you think Apple will be ok with their logos visible and external web links? It is simple to remove it if necessary but in truth it is a resource for my readers.
3) I have heard varying reports of 3 hours to 55 days for the review process to be complete. Does anybody know if it is longer for an enhanced book due to the complexitied of its build?
4) I have heard reports that if it fails, Apple will tell you how to rectify it. Is this true and is it easy to resubmit?
5) I have also heard reports of Apple simply rejecting without explanation. That would be so painful. I have spent 6 months and a lot of investment. I would be devestated. is this true?
6) Any other advice? It has been in review for 3 days only so far. Any ideas on current wait time for enhanced books built for ipad, created on iBooks Author?
It's an anxious time isn't it?!
Thanks.

1. Max size is 3 GB, but take into acount you want updates at some stage and need to allow "space"
2. URLs are usually excepted IF they are not competitors of Apple iBooks Store - ie Amazon. Any logo is usually copyrighted by the company. Any potential copyright infringements could be rejected by th review team.
3. Time taken in Review depends how busy they are without regard to your content.
4. If your book fails the review, you will be issued a ticket - A recent email advised changed to the ticketing procedures.
Ticket Catalog Report
The Catalog Reports module on iTunes Connect now contains a Ticket Catalog Report. The report contains details for all tickets that have been assigned to your iTunes Connect account.
iBooks Store Formatting Guidelines Update
The iBooks Store Formatting Guidelines include important information to help you avoid common errors when publishing on the iBooks Store. The new version of the guidelines includes updated information for copyrighted terms, supported languages, series metadata, What's New descriptions, book assets files, and more.
Download the updated iBooks Store Formatting Guidelines from the Deliver Your Content module on iTunes Connect.
5. The review team will pass or fail your book, fail is dealt with above. Pass... means its in the store. All you need to do is keep checking status in iTC.
6. is the same asnwer as 3. You wait and Check in iTC to monitor if your book is passed or ticketed.
Other advice, open iTC > Deliver your Content > on the top right are a number of PDF, download and read study them. Below them is a video.. take time to view the video and take notes.
The above extracts are from an email from iBooks, the links should still work, if not they are basically to open your iTunes Connect - Deliver your content section.
Last bit of advice, check everything at least twice before uploading to the store. Remember issues with copyright. Dont use anything just because its online. Dont copy text or images from other websites and give credits/links to any that are subject to Common Licence conditions... and finally.. be patient, time , tide and Apple move at their own speed.

How do I download mac address book for OS X Lion

My address book crashses as soon as it starts. I cannot find the address book to delete and re-install it as there is no folder called Library/Application Support/Address Book.
Can someone either direct me to the right filder to delelete the address book so I can start again or tell me how to download Address book agaian.
I do not have a disk adn I downaloded the update from the web. I am running OSX 10.7.5
Help!

Address book is part of OS X and cannot be downloaded. I suspect you have a preference issue with it. OS X stores these in these two files:
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist
You need to locate both and drag each to the desktop. Once you have done so for both, restart Address Book and retest. To locate these files simply:
1. Finder - Go Menu - Go to....
2. Type ~/Library/Preferces/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist and hit the enter key. OS X will then disply the file.
3. Repeat step 2 only this time use ~/Library/Preferces/com.apple.AddressBook.plist

The entire process to publish a book for Ipad?

Hi,
I would like to know how to get a licence for a book made with DPS. I'm aware about the Single et Multi issue. The Adobe crew in France doesn't seem to be informed about the exact process. How can I proceed and in your own experience, what is the delay since submitting your content to Adobe and having the book ready to sell?
Thank you,
Rava

You can start by reading the Single Edition Overview:

I want to publish my book for my personal use. Can I?

If I publish my iBook I created with iBooks Author, can I just have it for my personal use? I don't to sell my book,

Personal use is just that. Export for iBooks, load it into iTunes and sync to a properly configured iPad.
'publish' in this context means to share with the world via the store.

How to format numbers in Address Book for iPhone

I am planning to get an iPhone within the next few weeks and have begun entering all the numbers from my current cell phone into Address Book so that I'll be able to sync it with the iPhone. Since I never had to sync these numbers with anything other than my .Mac account, they are all entered like this: (555) 555-5555. Do I have to format them differently so that I will be able to use them on the iPhone. And do I have to add a "1" for each number or can I have the iPhone add that automatically?
Thanks.

entering like your example works fine. Just remember that if your entering phone # outside the US use the "+" symbol. example +46 35 46678 67

HT4059 We are unable to download a book for purchase from the iBook store because it says you are not authorized to use the iBooks United States site and must use the Canadian site. How do we do this?

We have always been able to purchase books from iBooks no problem but all of a sudden it says you cannot purchase this book as you aren't authorized to use the US store and must connect to the Canadian store. We cannot figure out how to do this. Help!

Sign out and back into the device so you switch back to the Can account.

How do I install a folder (Books - for my eBooks) in LIBRARY in iTunes

I have a distant recollection that there was a "Books" folder when I first installed iTunes. It would appear that ebooks are becoming popular and I would like to be able to read them on my iPod Touch.
How can I add a "Books" folder to the LIBRARY and can I add other folders too and the sync to the new folder?
Many thanks
buddysmum

You don't add a folder per se. If Books isn't appearing in the iTunes sidebar on your system, go to the General preferences in iTunes and make sure the "Books" item is checkmarked.
Note that books you acquire from some other e-book seller (Amazon, Barnes and Nobel, etc.) will never appear in this folder since they're not purchased through nor recognized by iTunes.
Regards.

HT5071 Is there a cost to publish a book for free in iBookstore?

If I publish a free book they will charge me a fee?

Apple does not charge a fee to the author, no.

Upload multiple books for content providers to iBook store

Is there a way for content providers to upload multiple books through iTunes Producer to the iBookstore at once? In the iTunes Producer document: UsingiTunesProducer2.8_Books.pdf I read this one page 14.
When creating a book package from a file, be sure to use the iTunes Producer template. To get a copy of the template, choose File > Open Book File Import Template in iTunes Producer 2.8. iTunes Producer creates the BookFileImportTemplates folder containing the BookFileImportTemplate.txt template. To always have an original version of the template file, be sure to make a copy of the template before editing.
This seem to indicate the template is only for one book.

Open that Templates file with a spreadsheet program like Numbers or Excel... and read the following thread:
https://discussions.apple.com///thread/3588675?start=0&tstart=0
What's not clear to me is how to upload ASSETS in bulk. It looks like iTunes Producer generates pop up screens for each book in the metadata spreadsheet and while the metadata is filled in, the assets like eBook file and Cover image along with screenshots are empty... asking for you to choose the files.
Anybody know how to upload multiple books, not just metadata... we've figured that out... but multiple books (the files and the assets associated with those books), to the iBookstore... via iTunes Producer?
Thanks.
