HT5116 iBooks Author: Can You Co-Author on Multiple Machines?

I am trying to have 20 students contribute chapters to an anthology of folk tales...not finding a way to export/import iBookAuthor chapters or pages from one machine to another. Is this possible? I appreciate any info. Thanks.

I am trying to have 20 students contribute chapters to an anthology of folk tales
Very simple, discuss the needs of teh book and ask each to create a chapter and allocate who does Chapter 1...and repeat for each chapter.
.not finding a way to export/import iBookAuthor chapters or pages from one machine to another
Very easy - each student and yourself needs to download and install teh free app "Dropbox" there are others - this is the best IMHO - each student then uploads their chapter to Dropbox. The other and maybe easier way if everytbody is meeting in a "classroom" is the inevitable USB!
One ( or more ) person is designated as editor and pulls down the chapters from drop box using the links or public folder access. Once gathered on one machine, thay are assembled in iBooks Author.
How to create the book?
The first essential is to decide which template to use. Will it be a standard freebie or will it be editted and customised to your own design.
Once the template is completed - it is saved as a template and save again as template "yourname1"
Now you have two copies on standby. open as an iBooks Author from the template and save as ( whatever your books is to be named). Each student then gets a copy of that file... by same process of using Dropbox or USB
The editor ends up with 20 files and if each uses its designated chapter number....
Have all your 20 chapters available and simply copy and paste into the book tree on the left.
After the first past- delete the original chapter 1 - you paste becomes Chapter one - now repeat the process.
Its quite easy really. I suggest you create a few chapters in a Test book and then open another different template as test 2 and start copying and pasting chapters to get the hang of it.
The book as a whole now needs editting if you intend to have a glossary and maybe tweek or correct anything in the other chapters.

Can you boot up using time machine

can you boot up using time machine? have continuous grey screen at startup.

Time Capsule TC = hardware router and hard disk designed to work with Time Machine.
Time Machine TM = software in the computer designed to run background backup.
What you buy is a Time Capsule..
And yes, that is the whole point of the TC..
Its fundamental design is a backup device for laptops over wireless so they do not need to be plugged in to do backups.
You are using it exactly for the intended use.

If you buy a film from itunes, can you watch it on multiple iPads at the same time?

SerZak is correct. There is a ten device limit. Yoy would still have to be signed into the correct ID in order to sync the Movie, even if you do not use Automatic Downloads, so the 10 device limit would still apply.
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also beauthorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

If I get a skype number can you link it to multipl...

I'm looking at getting a skype number, but I may not be available to answer it all the time, so wondering if you can link the number to multiple accounts (from other people in our business) so other people can answer it?

Online Numbers can only be on one Skype account, but you could configure the Call Forwarding settings on that account to forward calls to other Skype account names if nobody answers the call on the account with the Online Number. The call forwarding would ring any account name or telephone number listed simultaneously, and connect the forwarded call to the first account or number that answers the forwarded call. Note that forwarding to telephone numbers (except for certain toll-free numbers) would require Skype Credit or a subscription to cover the costs of forwarding calls to telephone numbers.

Can you stream movies from time machine to apple tv

Can you stream purchased movies from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV?
I have both an Apple TV and an Apple Time Machine. Both great devices BUT my internet connection is not great and apparently, the telephone exchange needs to be upgraded in order for it to improve and right now, the phone company has no plans to upgrade the exchange . So, I've bought movies from Apple TV and have downloaded them (using Apple TV) and watched them. They seem to stay on Apple TV for a few days before they need to be downloaded again if I (actually my kids) want to watch the movie again. Problem is, it takes about 15 hours to download a regular movie due to the poor internet connection. My kids don't have that much patience. I know I can download a movie onto my Mac and stream it from there to Apple TV but that means I have to have the Mac available. Since I work at an office and take my MacBook to use at work, it isn't always there for the kids to get their daily Frozen hit. See the issue I face? Apple TV and Apple Tme Machine are great devices. Can they be used in conjunction with one another?
So, what I was wondering, is it possible to stream from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV, i.e. use Time Machine to store your movies for Apple TV?
Thanks
Philip

No.
Time Machine is an application.
Time Capsule is hardware (what you have).
As suggested, you download them to iTunes and they will work fine on the AppleTV.

Yes but you need a computer running iTunes.

Can you use imessages on multiple devices

I'm getting a new itouch and considering to keep my old one (with my emails, accounts, etc. teh same. Can you use imessages on 2 devices or switch so it only goes to one account?

yes
P.S. There's no such thing as an "iTouch"

My HP8000 ptr will not print via time capsule showing problem as "...short read". I've reset the printing sys on both MacBooks and the iBOOK? Can you help?

I have been using a HP8000 printer via the USB connection on a TimeCapsule using wifi from a MacBook, MacBookPro and an iMAC (ethernet connected to Time Capsule) for a couple years before the printing stopped with a message of ".....short read" The printer still functions when directly connected to a Mac via a USB cable. Help???

Suggest that you work your way through Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if you can get things going again.
The last item....reset printing system....will often work when all else fails, but try the other steps first.

Can you use sync on multiple computers at the same time? ie have someone else logged into your firefox account for you whilst you are also logged in

I am trying to sign up to something but there is only a short window so was going to ask a friend to sign in at the same time using my account to try to sign up (with my password being saved into my firefox account)

Hi. Yes, you can use Sync on multiple devices at the same time. I use it to keep my bookmarks in sync across my desktop and Android versions of Firefox.

Can you transfer files using Time Machine back-up to a new computer?

I have an early 2006 iMac and would like to get a new one. Would I be able to copy the files that I want moved to the new computer by using my Time Machine back-up? I would only want to transfer a handful of items including my iTunes and iPhoto libraries as well as my iWork files.

You most certainly can. What you want to do is to go to System Preferences>Time Machine>Advanced> and exclude everything except the files you want to bring over. Then, plug the Time Machine Backup into the new machine and use Setup Assistant; It'll walk you through the rest.

Can you install apps on multiple iphones/ipods from same itunes account?

Hello, My first post so please be gentle. I will be picking up my 3g in an hour or 2 and have a few apps lined up including super monkeyball. My wife has an 8g touch. We have seperate pc's each with their own library and installation of itunes although both signed in to my account. Itunes has let me download super monkeyball on both pc's ( same account ). Will it let me install the game to my iphone and my wifes touch? I'm pretty new to itunes and have never even purchased music through it yet but I understand purchased music can be downloaded to 5 seperate pc's and unlimmited ipods? is that correct? I would be surprised if this was the same for applications.

Your answer is yes although you were going to attempt it in a few hours anyway so why bother asking? Oh that's right you're excited

Can you share layers to multiple pages and have the content in the layers in different areas?

Hey there,
I'm wondering if there's a way to share a layer folder (like the footer layer) to multiple pages but still be able to move the entire folder independantly between each page. For example, maybe I have a page that's 5 inches long and another page that's 10 inches long. I want the footer to always show at the bottom but if I change a link or hotspot on one area in the footer, I want it to change on all pages. Is there a way in fireworks for this to work the way I want?
Thanks,
Caleb

I don't think you can copy layers – at least not in the
way you are thinking.
But you can select frames or a range of frames and then
copy/cut frames.
In the new document you can then paste frames. It has a lot
of variations depending upon how you many you copy, if there are
multiple layers, what area you select before pasting and so on. It
would take a lot to describe and I'm not sure I would describe it
properly.
Generally just give it a try and get an intuitive feel for
it. The choices are available from the Edit menu but also from a
right click.
It is also possible to slect and edit multiple frames so if
you do need to move a bunch of things on different key frames that
is also possible.
