HT5071 Exported iBook starting page?

When I export my ebook from iBooks Author and open it on my iPad, it starts on a random page instead of the first page. Any idea how to fix this?

An ibook file, of your design via IBA, when previewed and then used, will open to either the beginning or the last page you were on.
Is that not what you're seeing?

IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll. I have never seen this problem before with photo pages. Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail. The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
I have tried restarting my iBook.
I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit. The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time. I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template. Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project. Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery. Thanks for your ideas.
Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications. Also I will make fewer modifications.
Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error. Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad. I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far. Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book. I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher. This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo. The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

Apple Start page no longer works with Safari 1.3.2?

I just set up an iBook G3 with Mac OS X 10.3.9, with all updates, and opened Safari, which is set to got to the Apple Start page initially:
http://www.apple.com/startpage
Safari loads the page, but two areas are blank: the "Hot News Headlines" in the middle of the page, and the "iTunes Movie Trailers" on the left side. No content appears in these areas. If I click on the "All" next to "Hot News Headlines" a page of html-code text appears.
When I load this page in Firefox or Camino, these areas have the expected content: text in "Hot News Headlines" and a picture in "iTunes Movie Trailers".
I know Safari 1.3.2 is pretty old now, and cannot be upgraded to anything later, since it's integrated with 10.3.9; for this reason I recommend using a more current browser such as Camino or Firefox with this System. But I was just wondering: has anyone else seen this behavior? Is Apple's own web page now too much for Safari 1.x to handle?

Hi HandyMac,
Yes, Safari v1.3.2 is quite dated by today's standards. And yes, the Apple StartPage doesn't work for me either 100% on Safari v1.3.2.
Most Panther users have migrated to Camino. FireFox 2 is no longer updated for Panther either.
On Panther I use Opera and SeaMonkey.

Copyrights for Images in Starter Pages

Ok, I am building a web site for someone and they need it FAST, so I am using one of the starter page templates in DreamWeaver CS3. They also want a business card designed that matches the website. Can I use the header image and manipulate it to create a business card around it in Photoshop or are there copyrights on those images. If someone can point me to the terms of use for the elements that comprise the starter page templates that would be great - thanks!

Yes but not within Pages itself.
I have used iText Pro to create an inline image with link, then copied that into Pages. Sometimes it takes a little fiddling but you can retain the link. Obviously if you exported to .pdf you would lose it all.
You can always use Acrobat Pro to reinstate or add links to images or anything in a .pdf file created from Pages.

How do export a double page spread photo to epub and fill an ipad screen?

I'm completely new to indesign. I'm using XP and Indesign CS6. I'm testing my epub on the new IPad 3.
I've published numerous books in print form with major publishing house in the US. I need to quickly get a copy of the book in epub format for publication on the ipads. Maybe later for the nook, etc. Eventually I will want to design new ebooks from scratch.
We are scanning the book spreads [photos and text together a double page spread] and want to show those spreads on the ipad as a single horizontal image with no page gutter. We've placed those jpg spreads in indesign as a double page spread. When we publish to epub it does not show as a double page spread. It only shows up as a horizontal image on either the left or right side of a vertical book [gutter layout] view on the ipad. It never spreads out to fill the entire ipad screen. What simple thing are we missing?
Thanks so much
Dwight

"The" iPad does not exist as a target, so I'm assuming you mean you export to a regular ePub and are viewing it using iBooks.
iBooks is page-agnostic. ePubs do not support the notion of "left-right" pages. In fact, iBooks is the only ePub viewer I am aware of that even tries to show "two" pages at a time.
Re-design your document so each image appears on its own page.

Exporting a double page spread and the PDF ends up blank?

I've created a double page spread as part of my university portfolio and wish to export this. Although when I export to a PDF the file is blank. I've tried changing everything and watching many videos but I can't seem to find the problem? I using CS6. I have changed the range to spreads also. HELP!

AH! Willi has spotted the problem.
You've created a new master spread in the Pages panel, and don the whole layout on the master page. Master pages are used for content that should be the same on multiple pages so you can create it once, then apply the master pages to the live document pages.
Open the Pages panel and add two in the bottom section. The "quick and dirty" solution at this point would be to drag the Master B page onto them, but it would be better to learn how to do this the right way. Since you have content that crosses the page boundary, you will need to have your two pages arranged as a spread. You can do this by setting the start page to an even number in Numbering and Sections options, or you can turn off page shuffling from the Pages panel flyout menu and drag the two pages together. Then cut the content from the B master page, and Paste in Place on the document pages spread.
This is basic InDesign usage, which makes me think you could use some training. Best beginners book is probably Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide for InDesign.

How to Export/Import a Page Group?

Hi All,
I'm having problems to export a page group from a dev server to a production server. What I had done with succesfull:
- I created the transport set table in dev server by clicking on Export link under page group;
- I executed the script and generated the dump file without warnings;
- I executed the import script in the production server without warnings;
When I will Import the transport table to my production server via Oracle Portal Interface, the status of the page group is Fail. Why?
I created the user groups before, that are the same of the dev instance.
Note: In my production instance there is no page group. It is my first export/import of this page group.
What steps I need to do? Am I do anything wrong?
Best regards,
JV.

New Document: # pages and start page?

I am starting a new document, the beginning of what will be a 180 page ebook. In terms of the start page, do I use that to allow pages for my cover, title page, toc, etc.?
Or can I just start with page one and insert pages later for the toc and all?

Consider using the InDesign Book feature (File > New > Book...) with your document. This feature allows you to manage multiple InDesign documents, sync styles, inks, etc. and other controls.
I have a long document book consisting of:
Cover
Main TOC document listing chapters and appendix
10 Chapters (with chapter level TOC)
Appendix of terms chapter
The book allows for managing page numbers across the documents, the multiple TOC for each chapter (the chapter level TOCs do not pick up the Paragraph styles of the other chapters, whereas the main TOC is designed to search each document of the book), packaging, printing and exporting of the entire book, etc.
If it interests you, check out Michael Murphy's long document videos at The InDesigner website.

The Mozilla WHITE start page is blocking the upper left Firefox to Print to Print Preview, so i can not see what is on the Printer Glass

The BIG WHITE MOSTLY BLANK , MOZILLA START PAGE was blocking my use of PRINT PREVIEW, from the orange "Firefox" in the upper left corner.
I was told i was using an out of date version of Firefox.
But no "click here to update".
So i downloaded the new edition of Firefox.
And still, i can not see PRINT PREVIEW, because the large white screen of the MOZILLA START PAGE is blocking it.
I have selected a background wallpaper, so would rather not see ANY of the BIG WHITE START PAGE, at all !!
HEEEELP,,,,,,

Hi,
Can you please post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot] of the start page when it is blocking the print preview. Please note that you may have to change to the tab of the site to be printed to see the print preview of the page.

My computer will randomly leave a web site I'm working on and go back to my google start page.

The most recent incident was today but it has happened in the recent past. I was working on a website, filling out an account creation form to begin accessing a secure website. I was almost finished when I was switched back to firefox start page with google. This happened twice, doing the same thing.When I go back to the page it's blank and I have to start again.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13 - Screen going back to windows 8 Start page every 5 seconds

Hello !
I've had for a few months this weird problem I find no solution for. In laptop mode, my screen randomly go back to the windows 8 start page while the laptop loudly vibrates. Even when I'm not touching the laptop it does so. I've searched for long on this forum and others but I still have not found any solution.
Could somebody please help me ? :-)

How do I replace bookmark bar that was lost when a new Mozilla Fox Start page suddenly appeared with a Zone Alarm Community Toolbar, and nothing I have so far tried, working with "Show all Bookmarks", works ("Unable to process the backup file).

My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

I installed 4Sync on my computer, and it resets my browser constantly. Even when I set my browser back to FireFox Start Page it just switches it back the next time I open a browser. How can I stop this please??

I installed 4Sync when I was trying to find a download for a song and it has hijacked my browser completely. It always tries to set my default home page back to the 4Sync Homepage, but I do not want this. I even change it back and save the settings, but it just comes back and does it again in a few clicks. I feel like it has completely taken over Firefox and that it will always be my start page now, instead of the Firefox Google search page I normally use. I need to stop this because it is frustrating me. There is no new plugins or extensions installed on my browser, I just don't get it. Any answers would be greatly appreciated!!

Same issue for me, no settings or options config changes this
I also tried a roll back to 3.16 and the problem is there too now, so its something in the general mozilla files
dont fancy a full uninstall and delete of anything mozilla, but i wont be using this if it continues

All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default s

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

Why does my firefox start page keep opening in a foreign language, no matter how many times i have uninstalled and reinstalled the US English version? also, why is it so slow to open, if it opens at all now?

it wants me to believe it's opening in Spanish, but that is not the language that appears on the start page, looks like it might be German? also, since i have reinstalled, mozilla/firefox is extremely slow to open, if, in fact, it opens at all. if i stop the process, and then proceed to open something else via the toolbar, i.e., aol mail, etc., i get to where i need to be.

If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:
