IBooks Author: How do you get the inset margins applied to the caption text of gallery widgets to preview correctly?

Currently the inset margins I set for caption text in the gallery widget reset to zero when previewed on different iPads. These galleries have multiple images and the captions are set to "individual caption per image" on the widget interaction panel. BUT the inset margins preview correctly if the gallery caption is set to "same caption for all images" in the gallery widget interaction panel. How does one fix this in iBooks Author? Would appreciate any advice or work arounds or suggestions.
Thanks!

The arrows don't show up on the iPad, they are only to aid navigation within iBA. You can use boxes in the background to frame your galleries (as the background is off). I believe it's also possible to change the colour of the dots beneath the gallery too, although I forget how to do that right now.
About Apple's rigid UX – I agree that it can be frustrating. Apple intended iBA to be used by everyone, and the sort of design options and customisability we might want may confuse the less experienced user. Apple also wanted the UI for every book to be the same – from the point of view of the new user, once you've used one iBA ebook (or iBook, I'm not sure what Apple want us to call it), you can use them all. Otherwise end users would to get used to a slightly different UI on each book, which kind of works against the idea that ideally UI should be intuitive enough to be invisible. I can see the point in that. I have created a 'How to use' section in every iBA file I've made. It get's old quickly.
Oh, and (you probably know this, but…) you can choose your own custom icon for audio. It's limited, as it's only a placeholder image that allows you to play an audio file, there's no ability to pause the audio or stop it once you choose the view as thumbnail choice. Something I'd like to see changed.
Here's a link to Apple feedback page for iBA. Feel free to hammer it with your suggestions.

I found this article that shows the folder we are looking for is here --
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX/Data/Documents/AEAnnotation/
per http://mjtsai.com/blog/2013/11/06/the-problem-with-ibooks/ and http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/beyond-highlighting-how-to-get-the-most- from-your-annotations--cms-20013
So I opened the files in TextWrangler to search for a word I know I highlighted in a particular book. That helped me identify the correct file for the book I am concerned with. I did a Time Machine restore of the file and got my notes back the way they were.

Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

No on the book title, no problem there.
The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
Thanks for getting back to me.

I have just bought a ibook g4 how do you get the internet

how d you get the internet working from the airport , i have an airport extreme and the spec says airport how do i connect to the internet

You can connect to the Internet via the Ethernet port or wirelessly. To connect either way you need to have internet service from an Internet Service Provider, or via Wi-Fi. To connect wirelessly at home you need a wireless router like an Airport Extreme base station.
Please do post back with further questions or comments if any.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

When creating a book in iBooks Author, how do I get the book pages to flip instead of scroll?

I'm interested in knowing if there's a way to get iBooks pages to flip instead of scroll when creating then in iBooks Author. I think having the image of turning a page, instead of it just scrolling, is appealing to the reader, but I don't see how to do this in the iBooks Author program. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

It is a silly feature, but Apple would be remiss if they did not offer it.
Go to the App Store someday and read the reviews of iBooks.There is an incredible amount of bellyaching because the new (iOS 7) graphics don't look as touchy-feely as the iOS 6 graphics. A lot of people want to feel like they are holding a piece of tree in their hands when they read eBooks. Doesn't compute for me, but as an author, I don't want Apple to kick these people in the shins, either.
As for the processing hit...uhm...unless you happen to be rendering 3D animations at the time, it probably isn't going to ruin your chip's day.

You have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

Using iBooks Author to make a book you have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

Asking me to be verbore is a dangerous thing :-)
When you eneter information into iTunes Producer for uploading, the info must match what is in the internal metadata. In this case, the book is called Mississippi, but in iTunes Producer it is spelled Misssissippi. There is an extra "s". This will cause an error.

/webapps/myApplication
/webapps/myApplication/data/users.xml
/webapps/myApplication/WEB-INF/classes/myServlet
How can you get the path to the "users.xml" file from the "myServlet" file?
The code below doen's seem to return the xml file. anybody knows why?
public class myServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res ) throws ServletException, IOException
File myXmlFile = new File("/data/users.xml");

Try this..
String FileName = getServletContext().getRealPath("\\data\\users.xml");

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

How can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

We need the Request Restart ability when scheduling a single reoccurring job in Redwood. Most of our jobs are scheduled in CHAINs which offers the Final Status Handler on Step level, and the schedule is "paused" when a job in the CHAIN has failed ( the next instance does not populate until the OP MSG has been Replied to) , and once the OPERATOR message is replied to, the CHAIN can resume running again ( desired ) . But we need this same ability when scheduling a single job not in a CHAIN. In our testing, we set up a job with Request Restart chosen on the Error , Killed and Unknown selections on the Restart Behavior Tab. But we found when a job is scheduled say once a day at 8AM, and when it fails, an OPERATOR msg appears allowing a Restart choice ( desired), but the next day's schedule also populates ( undesired) and we do NOT want the schedule to continue on yet because we need a chance to fix the error before the next insance runs for business reasons. So how can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

Hello Fran,
You can wrap the job chain in a master job chain in the first step and set the final status handler there.
You can also set the Restart Behavior to 'Stop Submit Frame', in that case you will have to resubmit the job once you are finished troubleshooting.

If you deleted a device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone?

if you deleted a device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone? becuase i have delted my dads iphone acedentily of find my iphone and it is nownot working. his phone is just staying at a black screen with a loading circle on it. i need to know how to fix this..like do i go the to apple store or the carrier store or can i fix it at home?

Try these two ways to fix the iPhone (in order). If neither works, you would have to take it to the store.
1. Reset the iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons togehter for about 10 seconds. If it works, you'll get the Apple logo and then something good should happen.
2. Try recovery mode as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If one of these work, you can then re-introduce the iPhone to Find My iPhone by doing Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone = "On" on the device.

How do you get the sound to play on the tv from your macbook

I connected my macbook to my tv using a HDMI cord. I'm trying to watch netflix but the sound plays from my macbook. How do you get the music to play from the tv instead.

The adapter to HDMI doesn't carry sound from a MacBook earlier than the Mid 2010 models and most TVs don't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI inputs since they expect the sound to be carried by the HDMI plug. With HDMI you'll need to use external speakers or headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug.

Unfortunately the Apple TV doesn't have a web browser so you can't do that.
