I'm using ibooks author and have 2 ipads. I was able to use my 1st ipad to preview the book and it worked perfect. Then I needed to use my 2nd ipad and it didn't work
The 2nd ipad is another designers in my department. I did all the tricks that normally make preview work. Unplug ipad, close ibooks, reopen ibooks, then plug into my computer, waited a few minutes, then hit preview. Still nothing?
Plugged my first ipad back in to double check for user error and that works fine.
By chance does ibooks autor only recognize 1 ipad?? the ipads have 2 different "owners" so would that cause an issue??
thanks!
When I had this problem it was because the iBooks on the iPad hadn't been updated to iBooks 3.
It can't be a number of iPads issue as I've connected a couple of different ones here.
If it's not this then sorry I have no other ideas!

I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author. The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues. We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts. I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
Am I missing something or is there a way around this?How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

How are you Using iBooks Author and Samples
I'm curious to see how everyone is using iBooks author to create books. Are most people copy/pasting content into their book or are they directly writing the content in the book? How many have just imported the information from another word processing program? Who is using the program for creating books for children, entertainment or work-related functions?
And that being said, I'm also interseted to see samples of how the books of others look on the iPad, including if possible the children's books, entertainment books or the work-related books. (Including how they incorporated widgets, theme in the pages, fonts, etc)
Me personally, I have been developing two books using iBooks author for work related fuctions. The first book is a training manual for a software program; the second book is a guide to all the reports that can be created in the software program. Both books have been well received by clients.I generally find that, for creating the text, I'm better off with the word processor of my choice. That way, I get to focus on content and structure and I don't get distracted by layout and formatting issues. While working in the word processor, I use only the simplest of styles. (Logical styles rather than visual ones, the equivalen of HTML <H1>, <H2>, etc.
Once I'm happy with the text and I've done the copy editing, I import into the page layout program and do the layout.
Cheers,

Title says it. I created a textbook using Ibooks Author and want to load it on my class set of 30 iPads that are used by 5 different groups of students throughout the day. It is not a 1 to 1 device. Is there a problem with doing this as the Apple ID would be a generic that downloads the content many times on each iPad for my students?
The two processes are so unalike that you need to bone up on what they involve before answering, I think...you can't just shrug and expect specific help, sorry.
See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support
Distribution isn't automatically like iOS apps, where the store is involved by default.
You are free to put your .ibook file on a school server/your own server, and anyone can download for free and use it, independent of any Apple ID and the app store. If you want to restrict to your school/students, put it behind a login.
You can put it in the store as a free download and any Apple ID can download and use via any iTunes Account. If you sell via the store, each download/purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to facilitate that transaction. This is not a requirement.
Again, you need to become more familiar with the distribution process and not worry so much about the Apple ID scheme involved at the moment so you can make an informed decision, I think -
I don't know if I want to sell on the iBook store, and I'd rather use iBooks Author than Text Edit or Word or Pages. I understand that complicated interactive content is what makes iBooks Author special. But if I create basic text content I could create anywhere, taking advantage of the versioning and iCloud storage iBooks Author provides, do I still own my own writing?
You own your own writing but the license would prevent you from selling it externally if it produced using iBA. You could of course freely give it away, or sell it via the iBookstore. If I were you I'd be using Pages - much friendlier to use (less bugs, more mature) and if you need the extra features you can import into iBA.

Do I have to have a Website URL to publish a paid book using ibooks author?
Is it required to have a website url to publish a paid book using ibooks author?
A "website" can be very easily created and at no cost.
I suggest Facebook can cater for "feedback" and "product support" although Wordpress and other similar blog sites offer a free service which is suffiecient for the purpose and a free /default page template makes it fairly easy for anybody without knowledge of HTML or CSS - to create a page and learn to add in much more.
The URL, if you did not know is the address line ie http://www.apple.com/ -

Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work. Formerly ran WGM from my 10.6.8 mac (worked perfectly) but now I am at 10.7.5 and must use WGM on the server. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Hi
"Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work"
If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

I am new to epublishing but I wrote a book using ibooks Author. I am now wanting to publish but I keep hitting stumbling blocks like--it asks if I have epub rights? Do I?? Do I need to purchase them or are they implied if you are the author?

If you are the author of the content, then you already have all the rights. Of course if your book contains photos or other things created by other authors, you may need to acquire the rights to use those in your book. -
