IBook Author for 10.6 or how I get Lion 10.7

I've been trying to download iBooks Author from the app store but when I click on `install app`, it says i need Lion 10.7 to finally get it install.
so, how can get this version ? or what i have to do ?
(i have updated 2 times already!)

If the latest version of that app needs 10.7 or greater you need to first install 10.7 whcih you can get from the appstore.

Can you download ibooks author for ipad?

ibooks author for ipad

No, iBooks Author is only available through the Mac App Store on Macs with OS 10.6 or later. It will not run on iOS Devices.
But you can create the Text in Pages for iOS and copy it on your Mac in iBooks Author.

How to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard???

How do I get rid of Lion and go back to Snow Leopard PERMANENTLY?
I am not techno.
I need simple instructions with plain descriptions. I do not have any discs. The iMac came with Snow Leopard and I loaded NOTHING.
I should never have bought Lion. It is awful.
Please someone tell me how to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard.

Can I use time machine to restart the machine before the fateful day when I bought and installed Lion?
Yes, if you have a pre-Lion backup, but you need an installation disc.
Is there anything else I can do? more RAM?
I don't know how much RAM you have. It must be at least 2 GB, or Lion wouldn't have installed. If that's all you have, you might get better performance by adding more. But from your description, I doubt that your problem is due entirely, if at all, to a lack of RAM. If you want to troubleshoot the problem, it will take some patience and effort, and you'll need to be in a calm frame of mind.

IBooks Author for iPad, ePub for iPhone?

I understand iBooks Author creates books ONLY for iPad.
So what happens If i want the book I am working on for iPhone as well? ... Do I create 2 versions:
iPad - iBooks Author Multi-Touch edition
iBooks - Standard ePub version
Is there a way for me to state the iBooks version to ONLY show up for iPhone and iPod Touch .... ? So I am effectivly putting on 2 different books ...
Thanks,
Ben

At this time, beyond the categories you can choose from in iTunes Producer/Assets, how you describe your app is basically up to you Apple will let you know if they disagree.
The Yellow Submarine book is epub and available for both iPhone and iPad....you may want to take a look at it for ideas, etc.
As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

HT5071 Publishing from iBooks Author for approval

I am in the process of creating a book with iBooks Author and want to send it to contributors for approval. I know how to do it if they have an iPad. Is there a way to convert to another format for viewing with a Mac or PC?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks KT,
Yes, problem is that the chapters are a combination of contextual text and sound bites.
If you are able to accomplish the same result with .epub format, this would be readable on all platforms. But you would have to use some other app, like Pages, to create it.

IBooks Author for iPad ?

How can I create iBooks on iPad ?

Obviously, by not investing in an iOS version of IBA and more completely developed versions of Pages-Numbers-Keynote for iOS Apple is trying to keep iOS users still attached to their laptops and desktops.
Does not suggest praise to me!
I don't want to own and service two computers; and the iPhone and iPad are computers. Look back a few years. Both of these devices are more powerful than Macs or PCs were years ago.
My first computer was a (in the UK) Sinclair Spectrum with a soft rubber keypad.
There were few programmes and we mostly wrote our own using Basic, followed by a BBC and later an Amiga!
Each was breaking techknowlogy in its day.... which is the point, technology has an habit of moving on in leaps and bounds - we have to keep up with it.
Apple are not going to hold back on their aim to produce more and more high tech products.
Each person has to make a choice in life based on the needs, their wants and their cash availablility.
The iPad has become a boon to people like my wife who has ditched her laptop and is happy with her iPad two and ditched her rubbish Sony Reader for a mini iPad to fill up with ibooks, she is not alone.
However, your comments were about not having iBooks Author or a verson available for iPads.
Same reason Apple will not make downgraded iPhones to compete with Samsung et al.
At this time iWorks was forced into a rebuild be user complaints and still does not have the functionality of the Mac versions, although I confess I seldon use it.
iBA would need to be downgraded and less functional - so its not going to happen for years if ever.
As I said, if you want to make eBooks on your iPad, buy Book Creator or similar.
I think what iBA does need.. is a none Apple controlled forum to debate users ideas etc,.!!!

Ibook author for iPad mini

It seems to be a fact that a smaller iPad will come.
fixed layout ibooks, optimized for the current size will probably not be readable enough on the small screen.
anybody who has any idea how to handle it? producing a second version?

IF..
they get a zoom function.
And - if it is part of IOS, or is it feature of updated ibook author? In this case all books must be exported and delivered again.
To read a book with zooming and moving every page will be problematic, however.
Actually all books must be layouted and tested on the new iPad, I guess.
Or a minumum font size muste be found, as 16 px...
if the small iPad boost the selling and the market for ibooks it is good. but to consider this technical problem such a short time after starting working with multi-touch-books is stressfull..

I have children's books in Japanese, Chinese and Arabic that I am trying to convert into epub formats that ibookstore will accept. My source docs are in ms word or pdf format. I want to use ibooks author for this purpose. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Is there an easy way of importing the children's books into ibooks author? There is an image on every other page. The books has to be in fixed layout format.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated. I understand that ibookstore will accept only epub 3.0 formats for Japanese titles. As I stated earlier, my objective is to make those language books available in ibookstore.

The books has to be in fixed layout format
If you mean keep the same as original, I wouldn't expect to retain that, sorry.
You'd be obligated to either copy/paste in sections/blocks of text, images, etc. or insert from Pages/Word, but either way you can expect to have to rework towards whatever 'fixed' layout you need in an iBA book....that can mean significant work in some examples.
You may want to work with a sample to find out the best workflow in any case.
As for Arabic support, see this thread: Does iBook Author support Arabic...: Apple Support Communities
Good luck.

Ibooks author for 10.6 ???

I was told that Author would work on 10.6.6 and later, however when I try to download it now says that I have to have 10.7.2.
My machines cant load 10.7 so where do I get the Ibooks Author version that will run under 10.6.8?

You can do it, but it is fiddly.
1) Go to Finder
2) Press CMD-Shift-G (Go To Folder -dialog pops up)
3) Type in “/System/Library/CoreServices/”
4) Zoom around until you find “SystemVersion.plist”.
5) Edit it. Your editor will tell you that it is Read Only, but edit it anyway and save it. (I used Coda for all of this tomfoolery and it allowed me to save on top of a read-only file)
6) The two lines you want to change are: ProductUserVisibleVersion and ProductVersion.
7) Change both of them from 10.6.8 to 10.7.2. Save the file.
8) Start up Mac App Store, download iBooks Author.
9) Do NOT run iBooks Author now, instead go back to Finder and press CMD-Shift-A (takes you to /Applications/)
10) Rightclick on iBooks Author and select Show Package Contents.
11) Open Info.plist in your editor of choice.
12) Search for the string “LSMinimumSystemVersion”
13) Change the 10.7.* anything to “10.6.8”. Save.
14) Start iBooks Author.
15) Remember to go back to /System/Library/CoreServices/ and edit your SystemVersion.plist back to 10.6.8 for ProductUserVisibleVersion andProductVersion.
16) Drag the iBooks Author off from your Dock so it goes ‘poof!’.
17) Open Finder, go to /Applications/ and drag the iBooks Author back to your dock. You now have the proper logo instead of the one with the strikethrough.

Ibooks author for windows

Is there any way to use ( ibooks author ) in windows 7 ?

What amazes me is that Apple is shutting off non-Mac authors, who are Windows-based. Using 3rd party aggregators is not the answer here. Amazon has "Kindle apps" for all Apple devices, and hence, will be able to sell books to Windows or Apple OS users. Apple, on the other hand, seems to be shutting out a very important segment of the market (i.e., Windows authors). Unless you go through an aggregator (and this process is difficult and fraught with problems, from all that I have read), Apple is betting on the world being Mac-based. Apple should have a Windows port of its iBook Author and iTunes Producer programs. Am I missing something here?

Can I download an older version of iBooks Author for OSX 10.7 (Lion)?

I had to recently format my mac (2009 Mac Pro) but because of the hardware I can't upgrade to the latest OSX and am stuck with 10.7. Is there a way / link to download a version of iBooks Author that will be compatible with 10.7?

Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
Your iPod stopped working, did it?
and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

Ibook author ate my book can someone help get it back?

I have started writing my ibook in ibook author. All was fine till 3 weeks ago.
Now I can see it as a preview in ibook store says "proof" on it, I can read it.. see it, but I can't reopen it in ibook author to edit and continue to write..
Pls help
I am a desperate writer who is a first time writer in ibook author ...

Presumanbly the "Proof" you see in iBooks - is on either your mac or your iPad.. after you deciided to Preview it.
Unless you physically deleted it... it which case check the Trash, - the book is on your computer, if you failed to open a folder to hold your iBooks Author file, which will have .iba suffix - MyBook.iba, then use the menu option OPEN or OPEN RECENT and look in Documents.
To make it easier to keep track, I create a folder in Documents " My iBooks 2013" in that I had a folder using the title of the current book. later the screenshots and title page images can be kept there and when you export your book, its better to have the "myBook.ibook file in the same place.

How to get Lion on DVD

for the remote chance my machine will crash, be undable to download another version of the OS, how do I get Lion on DVD

You didn't say if you have a new machine that had Lion already installed. Apple will not be issuing a Lion DVD, but they do offer a Lion thumb drive available from the Apple store for $69.00. If you purchased and downloaded it from the Apple store, you can download it again at no charge (you also didn't tell us if you mean a defunct hard drive, or an inability to boot up). If you mean a hard drive problem, you will have to replace the drive and install SL 10.6.8 (I believe that you need that installed in order to install Lion) before doing anything else. Then, if you purchased from the Apple store, you can return there, go to the Lion page, option click on the "purchases" tag (it will turn blue) and it will bring you to the page that lists your purchases. Lion will be there, and you should be able to install it from there.
On the other hand, if you have Lion on your machine now, you can make a bootable DVD or flash drive from it. Rather than trying to explain the process here, I recommend that you go to: http://www.macworld.com where you will find articles on how to make the bootable DVD or flash drive.
I hope this helps.
