Ibook Writer edit with other authors

I happened to discover that you can simultaeneously edit a word document with other people. Is it possible to do the same thing with IBook Writer, but without using the same wifi or using file sharing? This is because my friend and I want to write a book together, but she lives overseas and it is hard to have to email her the document every time its her turn to write a chapter. Is it possible? Please reply ASAP.

Nevermind. Lock this discussion. It is IMPOSSIBLE to collaboratively real-time edit with someone on IBooks Writer. I'll jut use CoWord or something.

HT5557 Can I share books on local network with other authorized family users? This was simple when my books were in iTunes.

Before using iBooks, members of my family were able to share their books through "Shared Devices" in iTunes. Once I moved my library to iBooks, books are not available to other members of my family. Is there a means to share books on local networks with other authorized users?

Thanks for the link. I looked at this and tried it and it sync'd my wife's iBook with my account, so she now had my Apple ID logged into her iBook. I'd like to be able to share my iBooks with her, but add them to her library as we were able to do with Home Sharing in iTunes. I want her to be able to use her Apple ID with iBooks, but be able to read some of the books I buy on my account. Does that make sense?
Thank you.

Comparison with other authoring tools

Most of the time people get into one authoring tool like Encore, DVD Studio Pro, Sonic Solutions Authoring packages, ...
I have the feeling with Encore 2.0 that it is not a professional package (but of course I could be wrong);
a lot of possibilities, but not reliable and the result is not very professional.
Subtitles don't look too great,
a lot of bugs, really a lot,
seamless transitions between animited menus,
I'm curious to hear comparisons with other solutions which are professional, to orient and know more about the differences and similarities.
DaLuna

DVDit is ghastly.
Encore is based on Sonic's DVD Producer, but has had a lot more of the options "Switched on" in the Authorcore. Plus of course it has a far better GUI compared to the Sonic one.
Scenarist is seriously good, but seriously expensive, and as it is not an abstraction layer tool, it has it's own unique issues as well.
If you want to try your hand with the scripting side of things, then you should have a look at DVD-Lab Pro.
It's about to go to version 2, which will include goodies like Multi angle, Button Over Video, that sort of thing.
It's only drawbacks compared to Encore are:
1 - No DLT output.
2 - No built-in Transcoding. You MUST feed it with DVD compliant assets.
3 - Poor PSD support
4 - No integration with other Adobe products
BUT, it is well worth a look at $200

Editing with other programs in iPhoto

How to I get iPhoto to give me the option to edit in Ps2? I went into preferences to change the adjusting program, and it only gives me the option of editing in either iPhoto or Graphics Converter. At one time it had several choices, PhotoShop being one of them. Now it only gives me one external program choice. Where did the other ones go?
Allie

Allie:
One word (well maybe a few more than one) of caution. If you do an edit in PS2 that requires a change of extension to .psd, adding layers is one example, you will have to either flatten the image and force save it as a jpg or save the edited file to the desktop and then import it as a new photo. Otherwise iPhoto will not recognize the edit.

How can I share an ibook that is 250 megs with others without using the ibook store

Hello
I'm using ibook author and the book I have created is 250 megs. I'm having trouble sharing it and getting on my new ibook air. Does anyone know if there is a good way to share the file with others without publishing it or using iTunes?
I'd ideally like to use something like Dropbox or my website but every time I try to download the file using one of these sites safari/apple says file not readable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you both for the help and sorry about not replying earlier. I've tried both drop box as well making the ibook downloadable from a website. I've triend to create a step by step list below that better illustrates what is happening.
1) export ibook author file as an xxxxxx.ibooks
2) upload xxxxx.ibooks to dropbox and then send my self a test link
3) using safari i download the xxxxx.ibooks file
4) while still in safari a page opens up with an icon for the xxxx.ibooks file and it has two buttons underneath it- one that says "open with..." and another that says "open in ibooks"
THIS IS WHERE THE IBOOK PROBLEM STARTS
5) I tap on the "open in ibooks" button - nothing happens
6) I tap on the "open with..." button and an icon for the ibook app pops up
7) I tap on the ibook app icon and nothing happens
8) I tap and hold the "open in ibooks" button for 2 plus minutes (the time for holding the button down fluctuates from 45 seconds to 5 minutes)
9) the xxxxxx.Ibooks file opens in the ibook app.
I am very happy that I was able to get the xxxxx.ibooks file to open on my ipad. However, this is not a smooth or intuitive process. I need to share the xxxxxx.ibooks file with many people and I want to find a process for getting them the book that is very easy.
any advice is appreciated
Do you think the problem could be the size of the file?
Thank you

Edited clips will not open with other apps

After editing video clips using Adobe Premiere Elements, clips will not open with other apps (like VLC, Media Player, etc...)

Sherbowe
Just saw your post and wanted to leave a just in case note.
From the information that you and John T. Smith just exchanged, it would appear that you attempted to play back the saved project file (project.prel) with your VCL Player and Windows Media Player. You need to export the Timeline content to a file format that is supported by the player of your choice. By now, you have probably been there and done that.
This is the just in case note about projects and their project.prel file....let us say that you have two separate projects and you decide to put the content of one project into another. Cannot do. One cannot import a project.prel into another project.prel. You would have to export the Timeline of one and then import that export in the other project. Alternatively, those with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10 could use the ClipMate program to copy/paste between programs without issues. However, with Premiere Elements 11 there are some problems in that regard.

HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?

Does anyone know if you can share books in ibook with other ibook users?

No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).
Regards.

Can you share/lend books that have bought from iBook with others users?

Can you share/lend books that have you have bought from iBook with other iPad users?

At this time, unless I've missed something recently, you cannot. You can load an iBook onto multiple iPads if these are all owned by your household though (you can't give an iBook to a friend, for instance, or a relative that lives elsewhere).
If the ability to lend books is important to you, you may wish to purchase Kindle books from Amazon, though you'll want to confirm that the book has lending enabled - not all do - and that the Kindle app for iOS supports lending.
This is one of the several advantages of physical books; the ability to loan them out or give them to someone else. Whether the book publishers will ever allow similar unfettered handling of electronic books is unknown, though I'd guess they'll be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
Regards.

Export single edition and import in a content with others magazines: EDIT

I am trying to import files exported from a single edition from another userID. Now I want to have that magazine in a new kiosk with others. Is it possible?
I try:
import files downloaded from the single edition "Folio, xml, etc...."
Share from the other uerID the magazine, but I cant see and edit the content.
Do I have to re-use the indesign files to copy the mag in another user? :/
Thank you very much!

turn your single edition folio into an online folio, share with the other account, use the copy folio feature to copy from account A into account B.
There is no way to import content that was exported using the export feature in folio producer

I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
You can also create an Automator Service:
Open Automator
Select: Service
Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
and:
Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

Sharing with others but only allow author and co-author to share the file with others

I have tested this option but have difficults to have the proper function.
If a co-author recieves a link to the document that the author has shared with him.
What is the mechanism that hinders this person to read that file that the co-author has send him.
I have been playing with myself in diffrent roles but running out of mail adresses and understanding.....
Please give an explanation.
regards

In the sharing dialog (where you enter the email addresses) there is a link at the bottom that says "More options". This is where you can adjust the re-sharing options. Default is "Everyone the file is shared with can share it with others (at their own role or lower). The other option is "Only let co-authors share this file with others."
After the file has already been shared you can change the sharing options by doing the following:
Select the file in the Acrobat.com organizer (files tab)
Select share file (either in the lower left of the window or select Share Document from the drop down menu)
Click on Change options at the bottom of the menu that slides up from bottom left
Co-authors have the same rights as an author and there is currently not a setting to prevent co-authors from sharing. If they do not need to have the same rights as an author, try changing them to a reviewer or reader and changing the share option to "Only let co-authors share this file with others."
You can find more information about the different roles here.
If I've misunderstood your question, please post again.

Faces issue when selecting 'edit with CS4' (or any other external editor)

Ok, so I have a work flow where I effectively use Nik Plugins. I have the complete set so that i can use them in Aperture and CS4. I correct exposure and white balance and crop in Aperture but then have automators set up in CS4 to apply Nik plugin effects via a batch change process ie no manual adjustments needed, start the batch and come back 20 mins later. Anyway thats somewhat irrelevant....
Once stage one is done in Aperture I select faces and see that all looks fine. Suggestions appear over faces etc as you'd expect. BUT if I then select edit with CS4 (via right click) on that image it creates a duplicate image (as its non-destructive) and opens it in CS4. Fine. But if you go in to Aperture the faces on this duplicate image are now all messed up. They are not at all over peoples faces but seemingly in random places. Right click and selecting detect faces does nothing. So in summary if I edit anything with CS4 and hit save so that the changes appear in Aperture then hit faces to tag people I have to effectively start from scratch and delete all the faces (not over peoples faces) and add new faces.
The best way to illustrate this is with screenshots. See this link for 2 screenshots of the issue. http://adamlewis.zenfolio.com/screenshot
Can someone else confirm they have this issue at all first off to see if it is a specific issue to myself or a generic Aperture issue?
After that I guess we can proceed with troubleshooting and solutions.
PS I have repaired my library and rebuilt it and have upgraded Aperture to the latest 3.2.2 (released today / yesterday but note the issue was found under 3.2.1 so its not a 3.2.2 specific issue).

Maybe I should have made it clearer in my original post. The 1st paragraph was just for colour. The fact of using Nik has nothing to do with the issue. The below quote is the issue:
"Suggestions appear over faces etc as you'd expect. BUT if I then select edit with CS4 (via right click) on that image it creates a duplicate image (as its non-destructive) and opens it in CS4. Fine. But if you go in to Aperture the faces on this duplicate image are now all messed up. They are not at all over peoples faces but seemingly in random places."
Thus the issue is generated by merely selecting Edit with CS4. ie no editing done in CS4 and not even saved in CS4. Just selecting edit with CS4 in Aperture creates the duplicate image in Aperture (and sends it to CS4 but lets assume we do nothing with it there at all) but creates a duplicate with face tags in the wrong places.
After further investigation I changed my external editing software option in preferences to Pixelmator and the same issue occurs.
So to replicate the issue in my place there are 2 simple steps that I need to make (and would like tested by someone else):
1. Tag some peoples faces in an Aperture image
2. Select edit with (any external editor)
Then go back in to Aperture (immediately) and select faces on the duplicate image created and see if the faces are in the correct position.
Note I have my external editor set to TIFF 8 Bit 300dpi using Adobe RGB colour space.
Thanks for your time.

Not sure what you mean. You can import video into I Movie either via your USB slot if it is already in digital format or via your fire wire slot (you may need an adapter as the MAC slot is a mini slot, the adapters are available on line) if you are coming from tape based media.
