HT5093 what features of the collada format are supported in ibooks author? has anyone worked through this?
I have been experimenting with inserting a collada file into an ibooks author file, via the 3D widget. I use SketchUp and Modo to create the textured object, but I am having trouble getting anything other than a 'tumbling' view of the object in ibooks. I want to set a camera in the scene, and be able to see that POV (point of view) from within ibooks. I would also like to animate the camera, so I can create a controlled, first-person walk-through of the scene. So far, I haven't had any luck. If anyone else has sorted through some of this, please chime in here.
Thanks!
Hi pggirvin,
We are awaiting upload for a book with lots of 3D Widgets, and had to do a lot of it via trial and error ( using 3DS Max to export to Collada ).
We did get an animating camera working, but as soon as you touch the widget the animation stops and you go into look around mode - where the pivot to rotate around is normally not where you want it to be.
A good option would be for animated cameras to a) play once, then pivot and end, or b) continuously loop
Just to clarify, 3D Widgets in iBooks Author do support an animating camera ( we had issues with multiple cameras, as only one gets choses, so maybe make sure you only have one camera in the whole scene when exporting ).

HT5093 What collada nodes are supported in iBooks author?
There are many, many nodes available within the Collada framework, and iBooks only supports a handful of these. For instance, iBooks supports uv mapped textures, but not alpha channel maps. I think it supports animation, but I don't know what are the limitations of this. I am mystified why Apple, as the software author, does not provide a fuller documentation, or at least answer these types of basic questions themselves directly. I don't know of other software authors that don't answer questions about their software!

If you mean here, know that the forums are strictly user-to-user.

My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.
Hi,
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
Hope this helps -

What features of Workshop 8.1 are supported Weblogic Express 8.1?
I wish to find a URL or any information that explicitly states which
features of Workshop 8.1 are supported in Weblogic Express 8.1. I
understand that Express does not support EJBs and that some of Workshop's
Controls are implemented using EJBs. I would assume that those Controls
would not be supported in Express. Can any of the Controls be used when the
targeted machine is configured with Express?In 8.1 all workshop controls rely on the EJB container, and thus none of
them work on Express. Using the pageflow portability kit, pageflows without
controls can be used on WLX -- they are just struts extensions. We'll be
relaxing the reliance of controls on the EJB container in the next major
release.

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail
How do you know this?

You realize that Mail App checks for mail every time it's opened and that the fetch interval you set applies only to background checks when the app is closed, right? -

My iPhone 4 does not/will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position, the screen remains black and I only get continuous pinging tones. Has anyone had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?
Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue! -

iPod says two updates but says all apps are up to date
Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -
As of two days ago, the ability to print from my MacBookPro to the PSC 1600 Series vanished, indicating they do not have new software ready. I have tried HP and Apple but have not received any help. Can anyone help me to find whatever software that was either lost or not updated. My iMac did have an HP update.

Hello fellow LR users,
Last night, I attempted to drag one sub-folder into a different Parent folder but then I received the "unable to move & unknown error" notification. After a few more attempts I received the same notification. My solution was moving the folder into the different Parent folder outside of Lightroom. I moved the folder in my PCs Operating System.
Has anyone else encountered this issues? Any solutions?
Thank you,
DanielYour method of using the OS is considered best. If you copy (drag) a folder to a new place you simply right-click on the folder name in the LR Library and choose update folder location. Then navigate to the new location.
LR automatically updates the catalog database. You can then delete the original folder. -
