How-To Book?

I'll be visiting Barnes & Noble tomorrow. Can anyone recommend a how-to book for iLife/iWork/iWeb/Pages? I'm a senior citizen who needs a lot of pictures to help me figure out what to do....

Peachpit Press produces two series:
The *Visual QuickStart Guides* heavily illustrated with the program broken down along the lines of tasks and Menus. Well worth having as an alternative to the manual. Unfortunately this has not been updated for iWork or Pages since 2005. You could ask if there is an up to date version on its way.
The *Apple Training Series* is well illustrated in lesson format with color photos and the tutorials on DVD.
The combination of the 2 should be perfect to learn and to refer to on specific questions.
*The Missing Manual* series has one covering iWork '09 but I don't find them as good, but it may be the only choice for a manual substitute.
You can download the manual from under the Help menu and print it out, but I find it poorly written. I do have it and refer to it, when I must.

How many books are approved a day - here are some stats

Do you want to know why it is taking forever to get your iBook approved? Do you wonder how many books are actually approved per day? I was asking myself the same question and because Apple doesn't release any numbers, I monitored the numbers on the iBookstore recently to get an idea.
Here are the numbers (just to get a rough idea, not scientifically proven)
The iBookstore has finally a feature that lets you browse only iBooks (aka Multi-Touch Books). It displays the numbers of all available Paid and Free iBooks. That is what I was monitoring each morning.
When I started to monitor the iBookstore on May15th it had a total of 3,217 iBooks. If you use January 19th as the start date, then Apple would have approved an average of 26 books a day.
Now here is a table where I wrote down the number from the iBookstore each morning of that day. The two columns next to it show the difference (how many approved that day) and the total number of approved iBooks (paid and free)
There are a few interesting conclusions you can draw from the numbers.
* You see a drop over the weekend. Maybe that is proof that the department is located in the US and not in China or India.
* The approval numbers fluctuate but the average is about twice as high as the 26 books from the original start. So they must have hired more staff (or reading faster)
* Interesting that there was a big junk of free iBooks yanked off the bookstore
Another unscientific info about the bestseller ranking from my own stats.
With about 10 sales a day I land in the 30s rank.
WIth about 2 sales a day it ranges from number 50-100
Those numbers fluctuate wildly and I'm sure there are other factors (i.e. total sales) in that calculation.
It would be interesting to hear numbers and experiences from other users.

These numbers are upper bounds, as book titles can be in up to three categories. So the real number of unique titles is probably closer to 1/3 or 1/2 of the 1.33 million, which is close to K T's 700,000 number.
Amazon and Apple are similar in total number of titles (with a few different categories). I had expected there to be much less titles in the Apple bookstore compared to Amazon. So selection size isn't much of a differentiator anymore. That said, number of sales are still far higher in the Amazon store. Many early eBook adopters still prefer their Kindle over the iPad when looking for new eBooks.

HT4059 When I try to load an ePub book it says out of memory. How many books can you read at one time?

When I try to load a second book it says out of memory. How many books can be read at one time?

Thank you so much...
1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

Open the iBooks app. All your iBooks should load there.
You can see the file size for each iBook by clicking List from the menu bar top of the iBooks window.

Lightroom 3: How-to books? (not videos or online tutorials)

When learning a new software, I prefer to have a hard copy book on my desk that I can flick through, read and apply suggestions as I work with the software. In this way, many little extra tips and processes stick in my mind to help me learn it quickly and efficiently and correctly. This is how I learn best.
At the beginning of my Lightroom 3 journey, I thought the Help PDF was the user manual, the how-to of processes in using this most powerful program. Even 'though it does have step by step suggestions in some instances they are quite basic, and I am finding I need a proper, more in-depth how-to book to be able to get the most from the product. As Microsoft publications would call it, an Inside Out book (I use Windows 7).
On deciding to read through the Help PDF more thoroughly, I came across a further suggested help item called Lightroom 3 Classroom in a Book. I would like to be able to look through this book online to see if it is the type of book I am after. Is there a place in the Adobe website where I can do that?
The only book I am currently considering is the David du Chemin Vision and Voice. I have seen a few chapters from this book online and they show the type of information I am seeking.
I look forward to your reply. Thank you!

How to book out transit saldo

Hi
A plus booking occured in the transit stock wenn I posted a stock transport order in MIGO. In the PO, the order quantity is different than the order quantity (SKU). First one is the quantity ordered, the second one is related to the quantity which is put into the stock. While booking stock transport order in MIGO,
I wrote a wrong value which leaded to that there is 0,001 in transit stock. Do you know how to book away this, inventory?
Thanks in advance.
Esra

It is not possible to do an inventory for a saldo in transit. I analyzed the problem a bit more.
The saldo 0,002 appears in transitsaldo in MB52 because there is a conversion rule in the PO which is 10 TON equal to 47 MWH. When I book GI i.e. 2,159 MWH against a stock transport order, the list MB5T converts this amount into ton which corresponds 0, 459 TON. Since SAP allows to show only three digits after comma, 2,157 is shown in MB52 which leads to a loss of 0,002 MWH. This amount can not be seen in display transitsaldo MB5T because this amount in MWH corresponds to an amount which is less than 0,001 TON. This tiny amount (0,002 MWH) can not be GR booked against the PO since it is not taken into account by SAP. The good is ordered in TON and put into stock in MWH.
Do you know a way to solve this conversion and rounding off problem?
Thanks.
