.iba's missing

I realized today that three of my .iba's are missing. I have the .ibooks versions of them. Is there anyway to revert these back. I don't want to have to recreate the books. I am a social studies teacher using these in class everyday. I want to be able to edit the .iba.
Thanks,

No, if you cannot find the .iba somewhere you will have to recreate.
It would be odd for them to just disappear. How have you been searching for them?
Hopefully you have a Time Machine or other backup where you can find them

I am getting the following error: Unable to authenticate the package: B_SPACE_NUTRITION.itmsp ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): element "content" not allowed yet; missing required element "navLabel"" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)

I am getting the following error when attempting to deliver my iBooks Author book package via iTunes Producer: "
Unable to authenticate the package: B_SPACE_NUTRITION.itmsp
ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): element "content" not allowed yet; missing required element "navLabel"" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)"
I understand that there's something wrong with the TOC file (.ncx), but I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Every section of the TOC is labeled, so not sure why the navLabel issue is happenening.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

Similar issues looks like. Are you using a template other than those in iBooks Author? That's what I did, and that was definitely part of the issue.
After digging through .ibooks code for hours and still not seeing the problem, I decided to reach out to one of the Apple epub conversion affiliates in iTunes Connect. They said they could repair the file without a problem, started working on it, only to come back a week later and say they couldn't work on .ibooks or .iba files yet.
So, in complete frustration, I decided to transfer my content page by page from the blank template I downloaded from a vendor online to one of the "textbook" templates in IBA. This was a long process as I had to unlock and clear out the formatting of the template. But, once that was done and content was transferred over, all was good. I submitted/delivered the same content and preview book within the new template and it went right through the first time (all metadata was exactly the same as well).
Now, the iBookstore approval waiting process begins!
Good luck!

Text missing from vertical view- Ibooks Author product

I made a book in ibooks author. In the horizontal view, it looks perfect. In the vertical view, large chunks of text are missing from the book semi at-random. If I attempt to insert the missing chunks of text into the vertical view, then when I switch back over to the horizontal view, I just get repetition where the text shows up twice. That means it is impossible to make the book look good both horizontally & vertically. Any idea how to solve?

Remember, layout in landscape and edit content in portrait.
Check in both.
If you like, you can disable Portrait in the Inspector.

Ibooks author how to fix missing file error message

I have cut and pasted many jpg images into my iBook in iBooks Author. All the pictures appear to be displayed but whenever I open the iba file I get many error messages saying that many of the files are missing. How do I diagnose and fix this issue? Any ideas on how to debug or fix this would be appreciated.

Yosemite is not supported for Encore, but neither was Mavericks (even though it is on the list, I don't think it is truly "supported," and there were issues).
Many of the issues in Mavericks and Yosemite appeared to be permissions. Most Adobe apps need read/write access, and those were not the defaults for the OS.
Some Mavericks users reported the following fixes their problems - I eventually assumed that somewhere in the process, it was fixing permissions. But perhaps it does more:

And comments for these operating systems for Premiere Pro, Adobe Media Encoder, and After Effects may be helpful. (Encore does not have a support team that is active, so nothing official for it.) But there are specific bug fixes for these OSs in CC versions, so....

The workaround was not to left-click on the menu. Use right click, or other options and menu commands.

IBooks author: Can't open the file because "index.xml" is missing, please help!,

A project that I was working on yesterday and I didn't close it, today when I wanted to work on it and opened a new page there was a huge X on the page so I decided to quit ibooks then reopen it, saved all my changes first of course, but then when I tried opening it literally 10 seconds later it says the index.xml file is missing, this is my technology project due tomorrow please help!

This or a simmilar problems arose just after the last iBA update. There is a very long thread dealing with this.
I had a similar problems and nothing cured it until I contacted support and they gave me a link to upload to their server, they repaired my file and I downloaded it.
It actually took from start to finish about 2 weeks.
I "huge X" on any page usually indicates an image or similar content is missing.
The usual suggestions are to close everything down and do a re-boot.
I suggest a search of this forum for the thread may be an idea. Try this
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=false&q=index.xml+file+is+missing
If you make a copy of your book file and change .iba to .zip, you can open the file and check if the index page really is missing.

Can't Open iBook Author File - index.xml "missing"

I've been working on a new book for about two weeks now. I've opened, closed, saved and changed it many times. I went to open the book today in iBook Author to continue adding content and I got this error message:
"'Book Name' couldn't be opened. The required index.xml file is missing."
I've tried re-installing iBooks, accessing the the file under a different user name, but everytime I'm getting the same error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've already spent about 40 hours with this book and I'd hate to loose all my work.
Thanks,
Jacob

I know this is a few weeks old, but I just had this happen and here is how I fixed it:
Duplicate the .iba file (the iBooks Author project) to your desktop or wherever you'd like.
Next, delete the .iba extension and make it .zip and click "Use .zip" when the dialog box pops up.
Then, double-click your newly created ZIP file. It will extract to a folder in the same directory.
Now, add the .iba extension to this folder. It will pop up another dialog box asking if you want to do this, click "Use .iba".
Your file should work now.

Roll-back 2.1.1 to 2.0 (missing text problem)

Hello, guys. This thing with text missing in exported *.ibook's kills me. I've tried to move text block back/front, change position/color/size/type and so on, but without success. As I understood from similar topics, this bug appeared just in 2.1.x. So, can anyone give me some advice on how to get 2.0 IBA version?
Thanks.

Here how it looks like.
I am absolutely sure that many faced with this problem:

Content previews missing....

Hi
we missing the previews of our content in iBA.
Is there something we do wrong?
After we export the iBook they are there. ??????
Thanx Andreas

If you mean the thumbnails at the bottom of your TOC pages.... they do not show in iBA
Preview in iBooks on your Mac and using the top menu...select "thumbnails" and your content pages show.
Its all normal, don't worry.

I can see that - I tend to author in Pages, and then move to iBA, which means wacking up whatever template I pick.

Getting Keynotes/HTML widgets to 'automatically play' in iBA

I'm trying to make use of iBAv2.2's new 'automatically plays' feature in iBA. My question is regarding a Keynote widget, but the same query stands for HTML widgets
I thought what should happen is that when you navigate to a page, the keynote wouldn't require a tap to play – the widget would be active on the page so the user can just use it. I assumed, therefore, that it would not have the 'play' icon either.
I have imported the Keynote, and selected 'play on page', and 'automatically plays' within the 'interaction' tab of the Inspector. However, the resulting iBA file still shows the 'play' icon, and still requires a tap by the user.
Have I missed something out here? Is there something I need to do with the Keynote file itself (within Keynote) before I import it into iBA? The iPad I'm using is a Retina version running iOS7, if that's relevant.

My bad.
Didn't have 'Play automatically' set on the presentation in Keynote.

I lost my iba file. Help with uploading again to iBooks

I lost my iba file when my MBP broke. So i wrote it all over again, it's the exact same thing, every word. The thing is, I want to upload it again because it's not available on iPhone and the effects or passing the page are missing. My question is: How can I upload it again without duplicating it on the store?

From my answer to your duplicate posting:
For an iphone the book has to be in .epub format. The apple app for doing that is Pages.

EPub vs iBA

I have published 2 books so far. Both free, one a traditional ePub, the other written in iBA
The ePub book was very popular.
I would love to know if people are downloading this to their iPad or iPhone. Publishing a iBA book will miss the iPhone market...... But how big is this? Do most people read on their iPad anyway?
I have found that having the book on my iPhone, I can quickly show people, and show hem the pictures and video in the book.
Getting ready to publish the next one, this time we hope to sell it for a small fee. Trying to decide which format to do it in...... A the moment I'm thinking ePub.
Julian

I think the actual answer may depend on your demographic, etc.
If you don't need the specific interactivity that an .ibook/iBA file can in some cases offer, and you're already comfortable w/epub delivery, you might as well continue to enjoy dual-platform distribution.

Partner application configuration is missing error on SSO login page

We have APEX 3.1.2 setup as a partner application and an application within APEX setup to use SSO for authentication. Following a link to the APEX application redirects to the Single Sign-On page, as it should, but it also shows "Error: The partner application configuration is missing or expired." I type in my password and username, click the Login button, and (if I entered my username and password correctly, of course!) then the APEX application is shown. So, I cannot figure out why we're getting the no_papp_err error and I have not found any solutions to that issue on Metalink or anywhere else on the Internet. Any ideas? I'm concerned that we have a misconfiguration somewhere that is causing this error and will affect any other partner application we setup in the future.
We're on Oracle Portal 10.1.4, SSO 10.1.2, and SSL is setup on both infra and mid tiers.

Did you try checking the partner application entries on the SSO-login server page?
please login as orcladmin or some other user with membership in, i beleive, iasadmins group. verify that for this partner application, what you see here corresponds to the application URL. it looks like your login page call may have issues. so check for login url too.
also check the ORASSO.WWSSO_LS_CONFIGURATION_INFO$ for entries corresponding to Apex application.

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....
