HT5067 Wipe transition in Keynote lost when imported in iBooks Author

Unfortunately, the wipe transition is not working in iBooks Author. I have a Keynote presentation with shapes that appear using the wipe transition. However, when I import the presentation in iBooks Author and preview it in iBooks, the wipe effect is completely lost

Try exporting your book to .ibooks and load it via the iBooks App. You can then view it on your mac or sync it to your iPad. The transition might work by doing this. The normal preivew is not always reliable.
Also, try deleting the widget and re-import the Keynote Presentation again. I have noticed that sometimes it is a hit and miss for the Keynote presentation to be imported properly (using iBook Author 2.1.1).
Here is a link for all for the supported transitions and builds (information only):

Best of luck!

Part of path lost when importing autogenerated files

Hope someone can help as can't find anything on the forum about this.
Have two Framemaker 8 books, one of which contains all the files for a future publication, including LOT, LOF and IX. This is the full publication but most of it is still heavily in draft. The second book represents the first release of the publication and has only a small subset of agreed content. The idea is that the publication will grow in time.
The second book is in a subdirectory below the directory containing the first book and the full set of files. It has its own LOT,LOF and IX. It also links up to a few of the files above, the ones that are in the first release. The LOT, LOF and IX contain contain references only to these few content files. Have done it this way rather than put everything in one directory, as there will be a number of subsets, with multiple PDFs produced for review from each before the finalised PDF containing the current content to be released at any one time, and don't want them all in the same directory with the management problems that would introduce, and risk of people selecting the wrong version of a LOT, LOF etc. The content files with the actual text in are not duplicated in this subdirectory; the book just links to them in the directory above itself.
All was well on one PC but needed to work on a second also. This second one has a different directory structure and it isn't possible to change it because of the different policies in place. So copied the main directory and the other subdirectory beneath to the new PC. All appeared OK; the lower level book found the files above etc.
To clarify the structure on the second PC is this:
\dir0\dir1\dir2\Content directory - place where the first book plus the preface, glossary/index and the other files in the draft book - the main body
..dir0\dir1\dir2\Content directory\dirA - place where the second book and LOT, LOF, IX are for the book to be published first (the .. represents some other directories from the root)
(On the first PC, it was \dir0\dir1\Content directory\ and dir0\dir1\Content directory\dir A - and this is the shorter path from the root)
When trying to generate the PDF on the second realised something had gone wrong and then found that the problem began in FMkr. The symptom is this:
The LOT, LOF and IX autogenerated files are fine within the book, their links can be clicked and they go to the source files (in the directory above). BUT these files aren't part of the actual publication. The LOT and LOF are embedded in a Preface (one of the files in level above) and the IX is embedded in a Glossary and Index file (ditto). When these are imported into the Preface or Glossary as appropriate, whether by reference or by actually including the file, the result is the same - the links become non clickable and an error is saying that the file can't be found. The path is partly truncated - it excludes the directory where the files actually are.
So for a link to the Introduction.fm file, FMkr says it is looking for it as ..dir0\dir1\dir2\Introduction.fm and not ..dir0\dir1\dir2\Content directory\Introduction.fm where it actually is.
This occurs even if the whole structure is copied elsewhere to a place higher in the hierarchy. It isn't possible to reproduce the structure on the first PC because of the configuration of the second PC. Have tried taking the LOT etc. out of the second book then regenerating them from scratch - they are fine, the links in them are fine, but when imported into the other files, the links miss out the directory which actually holds the source files where the links point to. Must emphasise this did not happen on the first PC.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks Sheila, have now overcome my problem with editing the post (duh!)
Hope the below is clear enough as cannot send an actual screen shot. Have discovered that the number of directories above in path is a red herring because the problem now happens back on the original pc when the book and files are copied back to it.
Have tried creating a test book with only the index, glossary/index and one content file linked from directory above (i.e. test book at dir c level) and it is OK in the autogenerated index but then does the same truncation when the index is imported into glossary/index, i.e. looks for the source file in dir A. If the source file is copied into the test book directory, the file removed from book and then the local copy added back in and the book updated/import redone, the links work. so it will find it if the source files are in the same directory. However, this always worked before with lots of test runs and a few real reviews too.
Subject: FrameMaker General Discussion Part of path lost when importing autogenerated files
It would be really helpful if you might do a screenshot of the File Manager hierarchy of folders and insert them into your posting, maybe use callouts to annotate the various significant levels -- a visual would really, really make it much easier to interpret what you're describing.
>
Sorry, not coming out very clear compared to viewed on PC. Directories are A, B, C - Dir A caption "The Directory above the content directory. Links in the subset book in Directory C look in here after they are imported into other files in the subset book"
Directory B says "Directory B, the content directory, with introduction, glossary/index and other content files, plus main book, main index, main LOT, LOF. Some of the content files in here are also linked to from the subset book in Directory C"
Directory C says "Directory C containing the subset book with its own index, LOT, LOF, plus links to introduction, glossary/index and a couple of other files in Directory B. The links to files in Dir B work in the autogenerated LOT, LOF etc, but not when imported into content files (linked files in directory B) although this used to work. They now look for the content files in Directory A instead"
Hope that makes it clearer.

How can I retrieve books lost when I updated ibooks

Why were books I purchased deleted when I updated IBooks?

If they are in your iTunes library on your computer, sync to restore the books to the iPad.
Connect the iPad to the computer and Launch iTunes
If you auto sync, let the process complete
Select your iPad on the left side
Click on the books tab on the right
Click on the Sync Books heading.
Click on each book in the list to select them
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
You can download them again in iBooks for free as well - as long as you use the same ID that you used to buy the books. Read this.

Photos Do Not Appear When Dragged Into Ibooks Author

I formatted my images to 72 DPI .png files and when i drag and drop them into Ibooks Author I can see them, I can manipulate them, resize, add captions. When I do a test the images appear in the text view portriat mode of the Ipad but when in the landscape mode, the images do not appear. There is just a blank space with a caption. If I create a photo widget and drop the photo inside I am able to see it on the Ipad however that widget does not allow me to resize as I would like. Does anyone have a fix for this issue or an idea?
Thanks
Chris A.

Confirm your process here:

...and try jpg for photos instead of png.
And remember - layout in landscape...edit in portrait. Always delete a placeholder image before adding your own.

What are the Handbrake settings to import to iBooks Author?

Hi. I have a really neat DVD a friend of mine made for me. I can copy the .VOB's to my drive, but then I'm fade with the problem of which settings to use in Handbrake to get a file which 1) iMovie can use 2) iBooks Author can use.
Does anyone have any pointers? This would greatly assist me in putting together a book.

I'm trying to convert some old Internet Archive videos for use in an ibook (see this thread for the full story - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18705771#18705771 ) I want to keep file size of the book manageable.
I was interested in your Handbrake + Subler approach and tried it. Following the steps above.
But it seems that the videos out of Handbrake are already coming into Subler as Main @ 3.1 (see screen shot of imported video) And I never get the option to export - its grayed out.
I'm an instructional design guy - not a video guy. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated ... especially in laymen's terms.

Page orientation when printing from iBooks Author

I have a iBooks document, all in portrait orientation. If I print this doc then it is printed in landscape even if I change the orientation to portrait within the printing interface. iBooks somehow is stuck to landscape when printing.
Who has got a solution to this?

Without specifying your higher goal, it is difficult for me to decide on what part of the question the emphasis lies, sorry.
Are you trying to ask for help in the forum or to file a bug?
I'm hoping that someone here has figured out how to control the orientation when exporting to PDF. I haven't been able to find a way to do that.
while there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.
Actually, there is: the Apple Developer Program. I have submitted a number of bug reports for IBA there, and have received timely and constructive responses from the development team.
Good luck and welcome to iBA.
I've been using IBA since it was released, as you well know.

Keynotes crashes when importing presentations to ipad. What can I do to avoid this?

Hi
When trying to import/export keynotes presentations from mac to ipad Keynotes will crash.
I have tried using itunes, idisk og even via e-mail.
The original presentation is made in Powerpoint and then redone in Keynotes.
What do I do wrong?
Best regards
Martin

i have this problem as well. I REFUSE to make another non smart playlist and copy songs from the smart playlist over. This should just work. The whole reason i use smart playlists is because of the live updating which also works for Itunes match. Copying songs into a different playlist defeats the whole purpose of live updating feature. The BPM option of filters is the only reason the song dont show up in the playlist on my phone. The playlist is there but no songs are in the playlist. But it works with in iTunes.

What styles are lost when importing/converting PS text to editable text?

In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
In addition, after import, in the Comp panel, sometimes there are no visual differences between that display and the display in PS. But in individual style layers in the Timeline panel, things have changed. Most typically, strokes with gradients are changed either to a solid color (gray or red) or to a simple white-to-black gradient. How is it the display can show a gradient when the stroke layer shows a solid color?
When the text layers are converted to editable text, those changed style properties kick in.
I'm guessing some or all of this has to do with AE text not being able to have a gradient for the fill or stroke? That being the case, is there a work-around?
If this goes beyond not being able to use a gradient for fill or stroke, what are the "rules"? What styles are lost/changed upon import and when converting to editable text?

After Effects includes the entire Photoshop rendering engine, so any PSD and its layer styles should render fine (i.e., just like in Photoshop). If it doesn't, please submit a bug report.
But After Effects does not include the entire UI from Photoshop for creating and modifying layer styles.
The layer styles feature in After Effects exists primarily to provide fidelity between what you see in Photoshop and what you see in After Effects---not so that you can add and modify layer styles in After Effects. The UI in the Timeline panel is therefore a barebones implementation that doesn't include many of the features of layer styles in Photoshop. As you observe, there are many cases in which the representation in the Timeline panel is much more simplistic than what is in the Composition panel.
This separation between the UI and the ability to render with good fidelity is most apparent with pattern overlays. See this video for a good demonstration of how to use layer styles in After Effects by tapping into these features in Photoshop:

> In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
How, exactly, do they change? A screenshot would be useful.
If it's what I'm suspecting, then the page that Mylenium points you to has the clue:
"When a layer style is applied to a vector layer—such as a text layer, a shape layer, or a layer based on an Illustrator footage item—visual elements that apply to the edges of the contents of the layer apply to the outlines of the vector objects, such as text characters or shapes. When a layer style is applied to a layer based on a non-vector footage item, the layer style applies to the edges of the layer’s bounds or masks."
When you convert between Photoshop text and editable text, you're changing the render order and also switching between raster images and vectors. This can affect appearance in many ways.

Acrobat 9 PDF files lost when importing a PST file in Office Mac 2011

When one imports an MS Outlook data file created in either Outllok 2007 or 2010 (a PST file) into Outlook for Mac 2011, PDF's made in Acrobat 7 or earlier are imported as are those made on a Mac.
However, any PDF file attachment made in Acrobat 9 is removed (not imported) into Outlook 2011 for Mac.
If anyone has any great thoughst on this, they would be welcomed as I have given up after 20 hours of work and research. In the absence of any 'fix', l may have to set up a temporary MS Exchange account and export to a server and back again.
Thanks in advance!

1. It might be the difference between the Home and Student versions and the Home and Business versions. You need to ask the educational institution you're getting it through what the difference between the two options they are offering is.
I've used Office for Mac for a long time. There are some differences in the applications themselves, they're minor and it should serve you just fine.

Locations are lost when importing map.

I am trying to use mdl files and OMBPlus to move changes from our dev environment to our stage environment. When the tcl script executes the import the source and target modules lose their locations in our stage environment. Is there anyway for this not to happen?
Version: OWB 10gR2

Sounds like there may be some misunderstandings of what you can do, which is understandable since not sure how much some of the concepts are explained. Have a read of below...
OWB has a number of capabilities for consolidating metadata across repositories. If you have physically created (in UI or scripting via OMBCREATE LOCATION....) the same named locations in DEV and STAGE for example they will have different global identifiers (UOIDs). The default matching criteria when you import is to match by Universal Identifier (the UOID). So if the locations referenced from the module have different UOIDs in each repository, they will not match. Matching by name would setup the metadata correctly could be one solution (but not advised really). The advised mechanism would be to use MDL export for the locations and ensure the locations have the same UOID across your repositories.

Audio lost when importing MPEGs into Final Cut Pro

When I import MPEG files into Final Cut Pro 4.5 the audio disappears. When I play the clips in Quicktime the audio and video are present, after I import only the video is present. I have tried adjusting the sequence presets for MPEG, but that has not helped. Any advice? Thanks!!

2nd audio track at 12-bit lost when importing into FCE?

I have got some DV-tapes with finalised movies which I would like to import into FCE for a) applying some enhancements and b) then burning them onto DVD. These movies once were created with FCE but after they had been exported to DV-tape (in 12-bit manner) some additional audio was added, directly via camcorder. The issue which I have got now is that although I can easily re-import these movies into FCE, the additional audio does not appear in FCE. Also, when directly checking the imported files in FCE's Capture Scratch by using the Quicktime Player the additional audio is not there.
I tried importing into iMovie and here (as opposed to FCE) the complete audio is available, both the audio originally composed via FCE and the additional audio which has been added afterwards via camcorder. Unfortunately iMovie will crash multiple times at importing due to the large number of individual clips, btw this is the reason why I once had to give up working with iMovie and bought FCE.
Anybody has an idea how I can import into FCE the movies along with the entire audio, or is this a weak point in FCE? In case of the latter, anybody has an idea for a workaround?

"Do you have an idea how to fumble out the 2nd audio pair at a Sony TVR900 i.e. how to proceed corresponding to your advice "configure the camera to ouput the second stereo pair to another DV camera with it's audio set to match the existing"? Or did I misunderstand your advice? The user manual of the Sony camcorder is ridiculously poor.."
The user manual of course is the best (should be) place to go for info on how to operate your camera. Might be one of those direct to English translations.
My idea is to use a camera that can access the 2nd stereo pair seperately. Then dub to another camera. Usually this is done via a switch or menu system.
That's where that camera manual comes (should) in handy. Also, some cameras allow you to MIX the four tracks, if this feature is available, you could dub the MIXED audio (all four tracks) to another camera.
"e.g. iMovie (provided it does not crash)? Because then I could capture the missing audio pair 2 like that in a separated manner and import it into FCE?"
iMovie to FCE is not my first choice as the importing is accompanied with quirks of all sorts, the audio is multiplexed with the video, the audio will always need to be rendered as well. Use it as a last resort IMO.
I have have heard of third party applications that can do this job, sorry, can't recall the details.

Superscripts lost when importing pdf

All my superscripts are put back to the baseline when I import a pdf made from ms-word 2003 into Adobe Designer 7,0,01146. The font stays at superscript size but is now on the baseline. I don't see any facility for superscripting in the text tools.
This is quite important for scientific documents, and quite cumbersome to fix.

Dropped Exponents, and other formatting challenges in Pages v5+ tables has been reported several times. Any other table content that survives (intact) should be viewed as a gift.
There is no known schedule when or if Apple will fix this issue. You would be better served, productivity-wise, to use Pages ’09 v4.3 (if you have it) which was moved into /Applications/iWork '09, when Pages v5 was installed.

Using keynote in ibooks author do you set slide size to 2048x1536

For my second book I want to use the keynote widgit. If I set the slide size to 2048x1536 will that be ok for the ipad 2 and origanal ipad in addition to the new ipad? Also, when you initially bring an image (jpg) into keynote that will eventually be for import into ibooks author should it be resized to 2048x1536 just as we do when bringing one directly into ibooks author. I am using keynote 5.1.1.

How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
My active file is vannished.
I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
Thanks for your help!

Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.
