IBooks Author app for iPad?

Is iBooks Author available as an app for iPad or only for laptop/desktop?

There are a number of apps available from the Apple app store which enable eBooks to be created on an iPad. They are obviously not as interactive or as functional as iBA, although Book Creator which I have used creates ePub files.
Unlike iBA, most of the content needs to be prepared outside the app and inserted. There are quite a few such applications so you would need to evaluate each against your needs.
Pages is available for iPads so I assume that it will produce ePubs as it does on Macs.
If your ambitions for creating eBooks to distribute via the iBookstore, iBA is the best application currently available although InDesign seems to be the choice of those creating "novels" with minimal illustration.
I do not have any connection in any way with any of the apps other than as a user.

  • IBooks Author is for iPad or not. It sayes in the download, only for OSX

    iBooks Author is for iPad?
    The download says it is only for OSX.
    Can anyone explain?
    Rgds tst at internet.is

    If you  want to create eBooks on iPad only,  there is Apples "Pages" that be installed on iPads and also, there are a number of apps in the store for making ebooks on iPad. I use "Book Creator"  from Red Jumper which has a free trial version.
    However,  if you want the  books on Apples store... you need a Mac computer or use a third party who can  do this for you.

  • IBooks Author (Publisher) for IPad?

    Is there a way to publish books to the iBook store via iPad?  Is there a compatible app for iBooks Author (which can only be gotten if you have a Mac)?

    Not directly, you would have to use an Aggregator like Smashwords.  What format you would need to produce depends on what is accepted by the aggregator.  If you want to create .epub format, search the app store for "epub" and you should find some apps.

  • Can iBooks Author apps include links to external servers

    Hello iBooks Author & iBookstore Colleagues,  Can you include a link to an external server in a revenue generating iBook Author app that is distributed via iBookstore?  In other words, can you have a url link on a page of a "for sale" IBA app to a survey or questionnaire that is hosted on a secured external server? 
    Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

    Failing that, are there any hints coming out of Apple that iBooks Author will one day include this feature?
    No and No on those two.

  • How to download applications  like the ibooks and iworks for ipad in india

    how to download applications like the ibooks and iworks for ipad in india

    At this point you will only be able to download whatever is available in the Apps Store in the iTunes Store for India. I doubt very much iBooks or iWorks will be available until the iPad has actually been released for India.

  • How do I download ibook author onto my iPad mini?

    I would like to share my books that I have purchased and stored on my iPad mini but have been unsuccessful uploading iBooks Author.  Any suggestions?

    iBooks Author is for creating iBooks, not sharing them, and Author runs only on a Mac. If you want your purchased iBooks on other devices you own, either re-download them on those other devices:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    or sync them from your iPad to iTunes on a computer, then sync them to your other devices.
    If you mean you want to share those books with other people, you can't unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account, and that would be a violation of the terms of the license.
    Regards.

  • My rue la la app for ipad suddenly dosent work so I deleted it now when I try to reinstall it the app store says that it not available in the us. It is still on my Iphone and working properly. What is this all about?

    My rue la la app for ipad stopped working. I deleted the app and tried to reinstall it,  it is no longer available in the app store and when I research it on safari and find it when i try to install it says that it is not available in the us store. What is that all about?

    My app did the exact same thing. It is still unavailable on the App Store and when Rue La La's site directs you to download their app, the "not available in the U.S. message appears. This happened to me last night. The app wasn't working, I deleted it and was just going to reinstall but was unable to find the app. I figured it was some glitch but I have tried multiple times this afternoon to no avail.

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

  • Remote app for iPad Wont show songs but iPhone Will

    Hi All
    I have a Strange problem with airport Express and airtunes
    From my iPad 4.2.1 running Remote app for iPad if i search for an artist, like Gary Moore, it shows the artist name, but when i Press the name it doesnt display the songs with this artist, it says no songs found.
    But if i use the same app on both my iPhone 4 and my iPod touch, and do the same search and Press the artist name, it shows All the songs that i have with this artist
    Both the iPad and the iPhone connects to the same airtunes library, on the same machine with iTunes 10.1?
    Does anybody have any ideas of what is wrong
    I have tried to reinstall the app on the iPad, but that diednt work, i have tried to delete the library on the iPad with no luck
    Aby help would be apreciated
    Sincerely

    I know this is an old question, but I had the same problem and found the solution somewhere else and thought I'd post it here as this thread comes up when googling for the answer.
    It appears as though any songs without an "Album" don't appear. In iTunes select all songs without an album, right click and select "Get Info" and give them an Album name (e.g. "Unknown" or "Singles"). This might also apply to songs without other tags.

  • Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

    A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
    Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
    http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
    Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
    The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

    Greetings Tom;
    I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed!  I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators.  I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
    Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager?  Hopefully this is available to you in the UK.  We'll keep in touch.  All the best...

  • How to use AirPlay mirroring with Cox TV Connect app for iPad?

    I just bought an Apple TV 3 yesterday because I have been using the Cox TV Connect app for iPad a lot lately because I lost a lot of my favorite channels when I got rid of the higher teir of Cox Cable due of the price, and I can veiw these channels on my iPad now with the Cox TV Connect app. I thought if I bought an Apple TV I could use the AirPlay feature to stream the live TV shows from the iPad app to the TV through Apple TV and unfortuneately the option wasnt there, so I tried to mirror the iPad screen to the Apple TV but I dont have the option in the multitasking bar, anyone know why this is? I have updated the iPad and Apple TV to the software update that was just recently released. Even when im not using the Cox TV app on the iPad I still cant mirror my screen to the Apple TV, but I can do so with the iPhone 4S.

    That document is describing what you say you are already seeing.  It is talking about enabling the air play button in "apps like Videos, Music etc" as you described.  So if you have the AirPlay button showing up in the iOS music and video players is it working as it is supposed to.  So what is it you are not seeing?
