IBooks Author stopped recognizing my iPad

Hello everyone, ibooks author stopped letting me publish a preview to my iPad. When I click on preview, it doesn't show any devices attached. iTunes can see my iPad (and iPhone for that matter). Any ideas?
I've seen similair forums, but the key difference is iBooks Author let me publish previews in the past. However it doesn't recognize my iPad (or iPhone). I know my MacBook is recognizing them (as they show up in iTunes and in the finder).
Help?

It's been that way for me for a while now...works when it wants
The alternative, of course, is to Share/Export as an .ibooks file, then drop into iTunes, then sync.

  • I want to see my ibook author publication in my iPad's desktop as an independent app, not in iBooks.

    Hi,
    I want to see my ibook author publication in my iPad's desktop as an independent app, not in iBooks.
    Pls help, is there ANY way?
    Sahid.

    Got it. I want to do the work by myself. To learn the coding in that level to make a app like that, is that too difficult? Or what level of experience is required for this?
    Actually it could be a good exposure of my work, impression and also a business aspect, as these kind thought is few in my country "Bangladesh"
    I am surfing Mag+ and iTablo. Do u have any other suggestion on these?

  • How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

    I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author.  The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.  We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts.  I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
    Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

  • Enlarge images on tap from iBooks Author to preview on iPad...

    I wonder if anyone can indicate how to output 'all' images to enlarge on tap on preview in iPad?
    While some images output correctly on tap on iPad (they get bigger), others don't. Appreciate any ideas.

    Thanks much for checking it out! After your response and some additional looking around on our part, we're heading down the "it might be Apple" path - perhaps something that happens on upload from Producer (compression, maybe???).
    The reason we're going that way is that we can't really replicate either - without Apple. The upload to the Apple store through Producer seems to be the constant.
    So ...
    Drop shadows visible directly in .iba file in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when using the preview feature in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when directly opening the .iBooks file exported in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded preview from iBoookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded (full purchase) book from iBookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
    Here's the link to one of the books this is happening to. If you have the time/inclination to look, would you please confirm if you can see drop shadows? There should be at least one on every page of the preview.

    Again ... much appreciate the look!!!

  • Can I get the Apple IBook Author on the New IPad

    Will the ibook author be available for the new iPad? I've got a MacBook but its easier to use the iPad because of a disability.
    I use an ibook creator on the iPad at the moment, but I would much prefer to use the Apple Ibook creator.
    I haven't actually published anything yet and I'm thinking that it would be better to use the ibook author, so I can submit it straight to the ibook store.
    Also, does anyone know if there are any proofreading and editing tools that I could use, as it is very expensive getting someone to do it for me. I had a quote of around £850 for a 100,000 word book!
    Thank you. Any help will be most appreciated :)

    Have you tried Book Creator for iPad? You can create an ePub file which is already standards-compliant for Apple's iBookstore, so you can publish it without too much hassle.

  • Is iBooks author available for the iPad?

    I'd like to use the iBooks author. I have the new iPad (#3) is the iBooks author only available for use on the Mac?
    If it is restricted to the Mac, - I don't have a Mac - is it possible to use one of those programs that translates a Mac program for use on a PC?

    That's actually a bummer!!
    I've seen Pgms that allowed a PC to use Apple Pgms. But that was several years ago. I'm assuming from what you said, those days are gone. Is that right?
    The only Pgm that comes near iBooks Author is InDesign - and that's hundreds of dollars Vs FREE! And InDesign is Overkill with a heavy learning curve.
    The aggregators are actually Go-Betweens that convert for a fee, and then collect a % of the sales, in addition to what Apple takes.
    I'd prefer to use the iBooks Author because it's simple and does nice work. AND the submission is direct to Apple, which avoids the extra aggregator fees and commissions on all future sales.
    There's also an additional 30 to 45 days AFTER Apple's 30 - 60 days till payment is sent. They work with my money AND don't send it till it totals $500.
    Do you have any experience with any of the other Pgms  similar to the iBooks Author?

  • Can I get IBooks Authors Proof book from iPad back to computer?

    iBooks Author didn't save correctly file and when I try to open file programm asks for index.xhtml.
    When I change filename to zip, I can see all image files, but index file was disapeared. Replacing with older index file, of course, results with older version of book.
    The last full version of book is only Proof on iPad. Is it possible to get book back to iBooks Author as editable file?
    Thanks!

    Interesting idea, but I think it's mainly of interest to people who lose or forget to save their project file or it gets corrupted and they don't want to have to start all over again.   Another app with a similar issue is the (now discontinued) iWeb, and iMovie probably works the same way.  I would agree it is very unlikely Apple would change this behavior.

  • When will iBooks Author be available for iPad?

    I read on apple.com in early July that we will be able to create iBooks on the iPad, I was wondering when this will be available, or if it already is.

    Apple has no information in this regard on their website and the app only shows computability with desktops at this time.

  • I'm using ibooks author and have 2 ipads. I was able to use my 1st ipad to preview the book and it worked perfect. Then I needed to use my 2nd ipad and it didn't work

    The 2nd ipad is another designers in my department. I did all the tricks that normally make preview work. Unplug ipad, close ibooks, reopen ibooks, then plug into my computer, waited a few minutes, then hit preview. Still nothing?
    Plugged my first ipad back in to double check for user error and that works fine.
    By chance does ibooks autor only recognize 1 ipad?? the ipads have 2 different "owners" so would that cause an issue??
    thanks!

    When I had this problem it was because the iBooks on the iPad hadn't been updated to iBooks 3.
    It can't be a number of iPads issue as I've connected a couple of different ones here.
    If it's not this then sorry I have no other ideas!

  • Adding Interaction in IBooks Author

    The only way I'm aware of to do this is to add an interactive widget which I have done using  Hype, Purple and Motion Composer. All of these apps give me the same result. The widget is placed on the page and when it is activated it opens to a larger area and then displays.
    This does not solve my problem, if you loook at the interactive IBook Yellow Submarine you will see EXACTLY what I mean.
    Any help here as I have a client that wants an Interactive I Author Book and I need to know how I can accomplish this.
    RD

    If you notice, the book Yellow Submarine works on both iPhone/touch and iPad....this means it was not done using iBooks Author, which only targets iPad.
    Pages from Apple along with calibre, as an example, will create an industry standard version e-pub file. iBooks Authore creates a hybrid e-pub that Apple has created.

  • What is the best name for a book written by iBooks Author?

    Hello,
    I just wonder what we can call the book written by iBooks Author? Because, iBooks Author is limited to iPad and it has lots of multimedia and interactive contents.

    Name it something that makes you happy. Look around the store and on the iBooks bookshelf on your iPad to see the range of names is beyond imagination.

  • Ibooks author web links lost when preview to iPad

    Created a long book with ibooks author including links to web sites.  Works fine on Mac version but when I open the book on iPad ibooks, web links are lost and default to apple web site.  What do I do to retain links for iPad version of ibooks?

    No, catually I can't. I don't see my iPad nor my iPhone either in Image Capture, iPhoto, iTunes. They are nowhere. I even tried 3 different dock-USB cables. The cables are ok and I can charge the devices. But they won't be recognized by all the apps. This never happened before. The only thing that has changed recently is that I installed OSX Lion. Any connection ? What happened????

  • 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:

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

    Currently the inset margins I set for caption text in the gallery widget resets to zero when previewed on different iPads. These are galleries with different images and the captions are set to “individual caption per image” in the interaction panel.
    BUT the inset margins will preview correctly if the gallery caption is set to “same caption for all images” in the widget interactions panel. How does one go about fixing this in iBooks Author? Would love to hear others advice or suggestions or work arounds. Thanks!

    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.
