How long until your book was published?

I recently submitted my manuscript to the Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and iTunes book stores -- all on the same day.  It was up and selling the very first day in the first three stores, but still hasn't been published (a week later) in the iTunes store, and naturally Apple doesn't provide any information about when the book will get through the approval process.
What's your experience with how long it took to get published, from the time you submitted the manuscript to when it appeared in the iTunes book store?

My first MultiTouch book was approved in 24 hours. But it was a short picture book. My second, much longer work, submitted on March 14, includes over 100 illustrations, multiple galleries, music, animations...and 60,000 words! I made some really dumb errors in iTunes Producer during the submission stage that required the team at Apple to help. I was in contact with four different professionals on their support team this past weekend via e-mail - all at different levels in their hierarchy. I was straightened out by Sunday afternoon PST so technically my submission date is March 16th. My experience with the folks at Apple so far has been nothing less than amazing.

One day later...I'm checking status every hour. Of course, I have always been an optimist :-)

  • Ibooks - how long until my book is listed?

    I just setup a free ebook (going through the unecessarily convoluted process required...) and it tells me that it's published now but I can't see it anywhere. I've read nothing about a wait time/approval time etc.
    There probably is one, but does anyone know the procedure? For such a complicated method of publishing (two apps, three if you include the initial use of Pages? really!?) it doesn't offer much in the way of information.
    Can anyone help please?

    I looked you up in Search. Did you publish Hellcat Court? That's all I saw by a single author with your name.
    Good Luck!

  • Where can I find how long until my upgrade?

    I have the Motorola Rival and I can not stand this phone! I just stopped working..the screen is blacked out and the keyboard and everything is blank and its done its not working anymore and I want to know how long until my upgrade? I cant find it in My Profile ANYWHERE! HELP PLEASE!

    If you call customer service they can tell you how long until your upgrade and if you phone is broke and your not eligible for an upgrade yet ask about gettting a certified pre owned phone. Your allowed one per year but you have to pay for it. I think I got my droid eris to replace my broken phone and it was $169.99+tax and you can have the equipment billed to your next bill.

  • How long did your MacBook Pro take to arrive?

    My MBP is coming direct from Apple but as it was purchased via a reseller I have no tracking.
    Its been over 9 working days already, but the apple site says 2-3 days is typical?
    I'm soooo excited but its quickly turning to disappointment with every afternoon.
    How long did yours take to arrive?

    Hi there,
    When I ordered my custom MBP on June 25, it also said 2-3 days to ship. It shipped the 28th from China and arrived via FedEx on July 3rd. That was with standard shipping. I'm not sure if you used expedited shipping or not, but fyi, it is expedited only after going through customs - i.e. 2 day shipping will mean 2 days after going through customs. Depending on when you ordered, especially if you ordered right before or after Independence Day, it could be a day or two extra to process.
    Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it when it finally arrives.

  • HT4859 How long do your photos stay in your camera roll backup?

    How long do your photos stay in your camera roll backup?

    There is no separate camera roll backup.  The camera roll is part of your overall iPhone backup, which will remain until your delete it or overwrite it with a new backup.

  • How long did your first wireless back up take??

    After doing the initial back up via ethernet, how long did your first wireless back up take?? I can't seem to get past the preparing stage. However I have recently learned that the first time backing up wirelessly, the finder indexes the back up & this can take a while. I'm leaving it a little longer now. It has been preparing for about half an hour now.
    Is this normal?
    How long does this indexing take?
    What are your experiences?
    Thanks.

    So far for me it's been five days. I hooked up Time Capsule Thursday night, and after monitoring the progress for a few hours, I calculated that it should take three days, which I figured would mean that it should finish up by Sunday evening. (My MacBookPro had 103 gigs on it.)
    It would have been nice if the instructions that came with the **** thing said something up front about hooking up via an ethernet cable for the initial backup. If I had seen those instructions before I started this nightmare, I might be done by now. Instead I started the backup wirelessly, which I'm sure accounts for some of the delay and hassle.
    Unfortunately, the backup pace slowed steadily over the course of the weekend. By Saturday night, it had only done about 60 gigabyites, and by Sunday afternoon, it was only up to around 65. At that pace I figured I might be waiting another week before it finished, and since I actually take my computer with me when I leave my house, this would have deprived me of my computer for an unacceptable period. After doing some internet research and learning that using an ethernet cable would speed up the process, I therefore stopped the wireless backup, hooked up a cable, and restarted it at around 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
    The backup then proceeded steadily at a faster (although not exactly zippy) pace. By midnight it had gotten through about 60 gigabytes, and after timing the rate at which it was proceeding by that time, I estimated that it should finish sometime around 8 p.m. tonight (Monday).
    I left the computer along during the day while I ran errands away from home. When I got back around 6:30, it appeared to have finished the initial backup and to be in the process of finishing up an incremental backup. The progress bar said "backing up 12,443 items...51.3 MB of 51.3 MB." Unfortunately, it seems to be stuck there. It's now 8 p.m., and it still says it's working on those 51.3 MB. I don't know how much longer I should wait before deciding that it's frozen.
    I'd like to just set this thing on fire. I bought the Time Capsule because I liked the idea of wireless, automatic backups. It was supposed to make my life easier, not make it a living ****.

  • How long did your installation take?

    How long did your installation take? I'm just curious because mine went from saying 3 hours and 54 min, down to 54 min and sorta bounced around, its about 3/4 done.

    Total, err, maybe a little over an hour? The counter was way wrong the whole time, so, yeah. Don't be surprised if when it says "About a minute remaining..." you actually wait about 20 more minutes. This seems to be happening to almost everyone. I know for sure it happened to me. The best advice I can give on the Leopard installer is this: It's a very poorly written piece of software, so, be patient, and give it lots of your time and love.

  • How to tell how long until TIMER executes?

    say I have a timer set to execute every minute,
    is there a way to tell how many miliseconds until the timer
    executes again.
    for instance If I checked halfway between the TIMER's
    execution it should say "30000" (30 seconds intil timer exec again)
    I have a timer set to execute every so often and I want to
    also have a countdown to let the user know how long until the next
    execution.
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    There's nothing built in. (You can file an enhancement
    request at
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    - maybe send it to both AIR and Flash Player).
    But you could probably write your own by updating a counter
    when the Timer event does fire. Your look up method could look at
    the counter and the current time and figure out the difference
    based on the interval set. You could use either the getTimer()
    function or the Date.getTime() method for this.
    I hope this helps!
    -Erica

  • How long does your iphone take to charge?

    How long does your iphone take to charge when at various battery levels remaining?
    When your iphone is at 10% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    (Assuming that you charge the phone when the phone is off using the Apple USB cable or dock through a wall power outlet)

    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Around the Same
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • How long until I get my Iphone 3gs back from apple after sending it in to get fixed?

    My Iphone's home button broke and I plan on sending it into apple. How long until I get it back once I do that?

    How would you think that any of us would know that?  Call Apple and ask what their current turn around time is.

  • When I change my mobile number, how long until it takes effect?

    I changed my phone number on one of my lines about 15 minutes ago.  How long until I can use the phone again?  Currently when I try it says 'network not responding'. 

    If it is a 4G phone, power it off and then on again. If it is not a 4G phone dial *228 and select option 1.
    These changes should take effect immediately.
    Possibility you may need to get a new SIM card if it is a 4G phone. In this case visit a store.

  • If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

    If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

        mln2603,
    Great question, it's important to have an idea when you can get the phone. Currently, the launch date annouced is September 19th, 2014. The stores will receive phones on that day as released and they will sell on the same bases, first come first serve.

  • On average how long does your mac book battery last?

    Mine runs about 1.75 hours on average while doing my best to conserve the battery. I would like to get an idea from other mac book owners how long their battery lasts, so I know if something is wrong with mine.
    I know there are a number of factors that come in to play in terms of how long your battery will last. For instance, i know that if you have a lot of applications open, and if you have blue tooth device it will cause your computer to have to work harder and in essence will cause your battery to run out faster. It just seems like mine runs out real quick (1.75 hours). I have the check mark by "better energy savings" and close my applications as well.
    I will also say that I did not calibrate my battery when i first got it being that this is my first laptop and i didnt know. I calibrated it about a month after i got it. However, prior to the calibration i had it hooked up directly from a power source all but one usage. Being that it took so long for me to calibrate my battery, is it permanently damaged?

    A charge capacity of 4860, while being below average, is not a complete didaster and is not the cause of the 1.75 hour usage. Mosre than likely your failure to calibrate is the reason for it being below average. I does say to calibrate ASAP in the user manual that comes with your MacBook.
    Now, to help with your battery time the things that affect the batery time the most are…
    1) Processor performance. Make sure your Energy Saver setting are set for maximum battery savings.
    2) High processor usage. The more you use you procossor the lower your battery times. So, you will get better battery performance when checking/writing e-mail and web surfing that you would encoding video. I often use a tool like MenuMeters…
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17713
    … to keep an eye on my processor usage.
    3) Screen brightness. This is a huge battery user and you should set this as low as is comfortable. High battery times require the screen to be set to minimum values. One spot (minimum) is the norm.
    4) Wireless networking. As this is always on it does chew up more battery that you would think. Turn it off when you don't need it. I actualy created a "no networking" profile in my Network System Preference for when I want to maximise battery performance and have no need of internet/networking.
    5) Bluetooth. This also consumes quite a bit of power for something that is not used much. Turn it off as much as you can when on battery.
