Ibook author uploading issues - help!

Hi. Finally got the approval and am in the delivery stage - but a big HOWEVER - I can't get the program to accept any of the copies of the publication piece I have. I can't upload the iBooks Author version that I created and saved (the only edited version for iPad that I have). Any suggestions? I am obviously not doing something.
Also - they are asking for a "preview" version and I understand that it is a few pages of the book, but do I create that version in iBook Author or just from a PDF version of it. Because it needs to be uploaded, I will probably have the same trouble I am having uploading the full book.

Haven't what?
iTP won't let you select something you can't upload...PDF is not a choice at that point.
For the store Preview, create a short version of your iBook...you need a file with the suffic .ibooks <or> .epub

Ibooks author Upload to store

I have a book completed in ibooks author. After it was finished I saved it to a disk. I have a App developers account, but the Application Loader will not let me upload a book? The tittle is followed by ".itmsp"
Any ideas of how to upload this free book to the bookstore?

Crazy - I have tried Safari on Mountain Lion, Foxfire, and Chrome. I fill out the Free sell info and get this:
The following error(s) occurred:
Error saving application.
Do you know of a help phonenumber for this issue? Thanks for all your help.

How to create Protein or Chemical structures in .pdb or .mol format for use with iBooks Author. Please help.

Dear Community,
There are a large variety of software packages used by Chemists and Biologists to view and manipulate Protein and Chemical structures in 3D. They typically have formats such as .pdb, or .mol. I have looked around and none of the software packages that I currently use allow me to export to the COLLADA (.dae) format.
Does anyone have any idea where to begin to allow me to do this. I would like to try and put in some of the 3D objects into the iBook Author program.
Thank you. Chase

I believe that Apple should have provided an easily way to get Pymol images into iBooks Author as VRML has been the de facto standard. After a number of days, I have a method which works, but this much effort should not be necessary. Anyway here it is.
1) Set the viewport in Pymol to 512,384 to do this in the command window type
viewport 512,384
Note, I'm not totally sure you need to do this.
2) Draw you image in Pymol and output the image in VRML format, to do that
File -> Save Image As -> VRML 2 ...
I'll assume that you have given the file the name "pymol_output", you actual get pymol_output.wrl
3) In a terminal window go to the folder where the above file is located and issue the following command. This removes some stuff that messes up the lightening
sed '9,15d' pymol_output.wrl > bender_in.wrl
4) Next you need blender. You can download it from
http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
5) Open Blender. In the upper right corner in the Scene section
right click on Lamp and delete it
right click on Cube and delete it
right click on Camera and delete it
Save this file so you don't have to do this every time. I called mine empty_blender_file.blend
6) Either open empty_blender_file.blend or continue from #5 and read in the file from #3
File -> import->X3D Extensible 3D (.x3d/.wrl)
this reads in the file
7) Write out the file in collada .dae format
File->export->collada (.dae)
Done. This file will read into iBooks Author and have somewhat uniform lighting. By the way, .dae files can be opened an checked in Preview. Its easier than going back and forth into the iPad, since you can rotate the image in Preview.
Hope this helps, let me know if it works for you and if you have any suggestions.
Finally someone needs to write a one step VRML and X3D to collada converter that will work with PyMol and Chimera etc.
Have fun!

IBOOKS AUTHOR PORTRAIT MODE HELP PLEASE

Hi All
I wonder if anyone can help and advise me on a problem
i have a page created in ibooks author
it contains graphics, text and text boxes with a picture frame and a gradient fill inside; however when I switch from landscape mode to portrait mode the text box I created that needs to be after all the text created is either above the text or hidden behind a scrollable blue line with up and down arrows.
this is really anoying me and can't see how to fix the problem
Can you help and advise
Thanks for your time
Andy

Andy:
Here's the deal - often enough, a certain layout subtlety (defined as 'do this to do that') is found to be predicated on one or more specific templates.
In order to debug an issue, that if solved relies on a template that the book in question doesn't use, the process can mean that there is no direct path towards xyz solution...only that the issue is spotlighted.
This can mean the issue is compounded by the original choice of template, which in turns mean that the solution is to change templates and most likely start over.
I don't know for a fact that your issue would be rectified by changing templates, and I'm not up for doing all the work to (a) find the proper template and (b) throughly refit your content to test the voracity of that template's ability to solve this one issue, sorry. Keep in mind there may be a very direct/simple solution with your book as-is...only by debugging it would you know

IBooks Author editing issues

Why does my iBooks Author advance the page when I try to edit words?

In what way "edit"?
If you mean on the page... are you sure its not your moving pages???
If its Spell checking it could be moving to the next word needing correction.

Ibook, ibooks author (Size file) Help!

Hi, I published a book in my website (it is too big for email) but when I dowload it and try to open it in ibooks, it doesn´t work

Hi,
The file sufix is .ibooks
Size: 300 MB
if I download it on a laptop and synchronize with iTunes, it works without probelmas. But not if you try to download straight from the league, either on my server, yousendit, we trasfer, etc.
Although the ibook download, questions which application you want to open and if you select "ibooks" this does nothing.

IBooks Author saving issues over Dropbox

I keep my working copy of a book in Dropbox. On one machine only I get a message when I close saying that it can't save because another machine has altered it. But it has not been open on this other machine. I've been using this for several years, but this has just recently begun to happen. Perhaps a factor and perhaps not, but one machine is on Mavericks and one is Mt Lion.

Its likely that when you work in iBA and it auto saves to the file which is the DB folder on your HD.
Do all you items dropped in DP auto update on other devices? Dropbox should work independantly of a machines OS.
Creating a new account will not resolve anything in my opinbion, DB is a file sharing system and designed to work across multiple platforms.
I think the clue is in "recently began to happen..." can you think back to what changed you have made.

I made a book in iBooks author, and I want to add an intro video. I made one in iMovie, and I want to pass it to the intro of my book. How?

Hi, I want to move an iMovie trailer into iPhotos so I can add it to the intro of my iBooks Author intro clip. It is for school and I need it urgentrly. THANK YOU!!

Export it from iMovie into a format that iBooks Author understands. I'm 99% sure it doesn't have to go into iPhoto to be used, but ask on the iBooks Author forum for help with that.

IBooks not opening with cover created by iBooks Author?

I have created an iBook with iBook Author uploaded to the iBookstore and downloaded to my iPad. It always opens on the first page and NOT the cover. How can I make it open on the cover and not the first page? Thanks and cheers! Sam

You don't specify how you're writing to the file, but this problem can occur
if you open the file and then keep it open so you can write data as it comes
in without the overhead of opening the file each time. When you use the
"Open File" function there is a "Deny Mode" input which defaults to letting
other applications read and write to the file while Labview has the file
open. If you have set this otherwise, there may be the problem. Otherwise,
try explicitly closing the file before reading it with Access.

(1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

(1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

There is no PDF available. I sent a link to a page full of links and info not much different from the help files.
There are many Free books in the iBooks store which will take you through the basics of iBA.
I like "Create your first Interactive book using iBooks Author"   its created by iBook-Widgets.com - who also supply widgets at a price.. but the book is very free and very good.. search the iBooks store for their title.
You cannot use iBA on an iPad, however, I also use the iPad app -- "Book Creater"   ( redjumper.net ) its very low priced around $3 or so. The people who create it are helpful and friendly. You can distribut your books to friends and family using Dropbox or other cloud storage. If you want to creaet an ePub file and then upload to the iBooks store, its not difficult. You create the book on your iPad. It is no where near as good as iBA for functionality.. but it spossible to make really good eBooks.
I think Applecare shoud come into effect with the language problems if it can be found to be a glitch on the computer. Applecare is product based and does not apply to software.
Take it stage by stage,   visit your Apple store and   ask if they can solve the help files in langauges first, then react to the answer, it could be they can solve the issue which leave you a clear path with iBA.
Also you can gather more indormation about how to use it with the help files.
Try the info I have included and   see how it develpops... any problems get back here and we can look for alternatives.
try this... https://itunes.apple.com/app/id661166101?mt=8&&referrer=click%3Da63089e4-e3d4-49 e9-896a-58e0cfd50acf
its the free version... if you like upgrade later.
Happy New Year... hope its a good one....

I created some iBooks in iBooks Author, but when uploaded to iPad, cover graphics do not change when opening different books; they remain on same graphic from book to book even though content changes accordingly. Solutions?

I recently created a number of books using iBooks Author. They are all part of a larger project, but due to size issues, individual sections were broken up into separate e-books. Each one of these e-books has different content and different cover graphics to differentiate between sections. Once finished, I exported each of them as iBooks and then uploaded them to my iPad. On the Books screen, all the iBooks show up just fine with the appropriate cover graphic and titles. When I select one to enter, its cover graphic zooms in and then the book opens into the table of contents. However, the second book I open always reverts to the cover graphic from the first book I entered. It will access the right content, but the cover graphic pulls up as the wrong section, which may lead to some confusion (given the manner these books will be distributed). After leaving it alone for a little while, I can usually access another book and have it pull up the correct cover graphic, but when I enter the second book, the same problem resurfaces.
Any thoughts on how to fix or troubleshoot this?

Update: Solved.
Either creating a new file or saving the old as a template file & renaming it solved my problem.
Here is the discussion where I found that information:

Ibook author loading, save, open and update issue

When we create the ibook author file with 30 pages the systme gets too slow, since it took cache file within the recovery folder. Also when it take more time while save, open and update process. Curent file size is 169 MB (Minimac 10.7 with 2GB RAM and ibook author version is 1.1)
Can you any one investigate this issue and help me how to remove this cache file and make the ibook author file is fast?

I'd suggest to upgrade the ram in your mini to the maximum - low cost and the best thing you can do to improve performance for all apps.
The cache file's purpose is to make things faster....but if a book is corrupted there may be issues using it for editing. You may need to remove resources and re-add to fix - that or make a new book from start.
See this Apple Tech Note:
Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books [ support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 ]
Good luck.

IBooks Author help persists in opening in French.

After downloading iBooks Author, help opened once, the first time, in English. Ever since it persists in opening in French. I have quit and restarted app a number of times, but always opens help in French. I can see the web page in English, but not help.
Thanks.

I belive you are refering to the help files accessed by opening the iBooks Author app, and then selecting from the Menu bar at the top: Help > iBooks Author Help. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Those help files seem to derive their language from the preferred ones in the current user account language preferences. If you open the System Preferences app, and select Language & Region, what is listed under Preferred Languages? If French is on the list, and you don't ever use the language, try removing it. If removing it is not an option for you, at least drag it to the bottom of the list.
