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,.!!!

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.

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.

Are there any apps like ibooks author for ipad or pc?

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..

Ibooks author on ipad air2

This must be easier than I'm making it, but I've just bought a new Ipad Air2 and can't get Ibooks Author on to it at all. It doesn't appear in App store, and when I email the content it just stores it on drive, which I'm not sure how to access. I may be taking forever to complete the book I'm attempting, but don't want to lose it altogether, and eventually intend to sell the desktop Mac. Anyone any suggestions for this. I'm sure it must be really easy, but am virtually new to tablet use. I have managed all music and photo content, but just can't see how to do this at all. All help really appreciated.

Have a look at
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/book-creator-for-ipad-create/id442378070?mt=8
But I don't think it is realistic to imagine that an iPad can replace a desktop for what iBooks Author can do.

Hi Mahesh,
You can click preview button in the top left of your iBooks Author application screen. Do the following before you click preview.
1. Check your iPad has 'iBooks' app installted, if not install from iTune Store it is free.
2. Open iBooks App before you click Preview option.

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.

Difference between ibook author and ipad version

Hi there
Hoping someone can shed light on an issue I am having as I have no idea why it is happening.
I am writing an ibook for our school. However, in some instances when the book is downloaded on to an ipad some of the text looks different from the version in ibook author (either words missing or letters have changed so it does not make sense anymore). Sometimes this is resolved simply by cutting the text and pasting back in, but I have no idea why this is happening so I can avoid it.
Does anyone have any idea? The book is being downloaded on ipads which may be set to different languages (everything from French to Chinese!), I am not sure if that is an issue?
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Lisa

The language settings may be causeing problems, the only way to check is to have them all set to the same langauge while you check if the problems still shows.
Missing letters or words can happen by overlaping text / boxes / images / shapes or any object with a wrap around.
If your page containes individual text box, images, each sits in its own layer, if you dont know about layers, imagine each text box or image you have is on a sheet of clear glass - now stack up the sheets of glass and when looking through.. you just see the images, text and objects. By using "Arrange" in teh top menu, you can move these backwards or forwards to remove any clashes.
Also check that text boxes ( not flowing text boxes) are all opened enough in width and height to full accomodate your text - then see how the box itself is sitting in relation to the other page content.
Are your students geeting "yourbook.ibooks" files onto their computer or are you taking each iPad and using iBA Preview to send to each iPad, if so.... preview in iPad has been known in some cases to be unrellable!

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.

Downloading the right iBooks version for iPad 1: solution!!!

Hi,
I needed the right iBooks version for my iPad 1. What I did was: I used my iPad 1 to go to the app store. Once there I looked up 'iBooks'. When I tapped on it to download it it asked me if I wanted to install an older version. I tapped OK and it installed the older version compatible with my iPad.
Done!!!!

No, this won't work. For how to do it see Re: can you download a previous version of ibooks??

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?

HT204365 The new IBook version for iPad is not opening PDF files. Is it going to be fixed?

The new iBook 2.1.1 version for iPad is not opening PDF files. is it going to be fixed?

It is not broken. It works for me and it has always worked for me - every version of iBooks in every version of the iOS that I have ever run on my iPad. Therefore - I do not think that it is broken - or it would not work for me - and for countess others using iBooks and the current iOS version 5.1.1.
What have you done or tried to this point in order to get rectify the situation with iBooks? Have you restarted your iPad, quit iBooks completely and then tried again? Rebooted the device? Uninstalled and reinstalled iBooks?
Anything at all?
