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????

  • IBooks Author Scale and Rotate in preview

    I just started with iBooks Author. I made a simple book with several chapters and pages. When previewing the book in the iPad the pages zoom and rotate with a two finger gesture. Then snap bak to the default scale and rotation. Imagine trying to pinch to zoom, but having the page scale.
    How can make the pages use the standard zooming behavior with out rotating and hold the zoom without snapping back to the initial scle?

    Sorry about that. I haven't used that software before, but they appeared to fit the bill according to their descriptions.
    There is another program, Image Tricks, that is for Tiger and it will let you rotate images and save the changes.

    I can't find any hacks for Preview that will let you do what you want.

  • Web configuration lost when upgrading to advanced server admin

    Hello,
    after setting correctly the basic configuration,and setting the web servives, we did the upgrade to advanced option and then we focues to other apple problems like getting network connection, starting xgrid,etc), and then is when we realized that the web settings, server name, etc were lost when we moved to the advanced server admin.
    grrrrr!
    any idea?
    thanks

    I would most emphatically recommend that you get your boss to sign off on you having no liability nor culpability for any results of work he expects you to do "on the side".
    People study and learn for years - and appropriately so ! - in order to accomplish this kind of work effectively and efficiently.
    If you are learning and have a non-production environment to work with and potentially wipe & reinstall where need be, then by all means, go for it (start learning).
    But otherwise your boss should accept that s/he is getting what they're paying for, and since it is nothing, they should be prepared for that.
    It is neither technically nor professionally advisable to foist a task such as this on someone and expect the result(s) to be that of a trained professional in that field. The fundamental concern is the disconnect there, and the unacceptable risk this situation could put you in, either now or in the future.
    To the matter at hand, I generally recommend strongly against an upgrade, as compared to a (verified good) backup, wipe and reinstall and configure from the outset as "Advanced."
    For computer management, you will want to run your server as an Open Directory Master,
    and as such, you must must must have verified working DNS lookup(s) for your server's FQDN, prior to proceeding with re-installing & reconfiguring it.

  • HT5071 How does Apple decide when a book - created in iBooks Author - is free versus when it is paid?

    I am considering creating a book made with iBooks Author but have a couple of unanswered questions. What determines how Apple chooses whether my book can make it into the ranks of being a paid book? In other words, I don't want to put a whole bunch of time and effort into creating a book that I want to sell, only to have Apple decide that the book can only be downloaded for free. Is there a way to guarantee that my book will be eligible to sell (as opposed to giving it away for free)? What are the requirements for creating a paid book in iBooks Author?

    There are no guarantees.
    I'm not sure, however, that if Apple decided it wasn't fit for publishing under a paid contract that they would then turn around and accept it as free, sorry. There are too many details involved and I'd think if you want it in the store you'd work to make it acceptable all around.
    See Apple - iTunes - Partner Programs - Book Publishers for publishing details.

  • Why are 3D objects a different colour when previewed on iPad?

    I'm testing a simple 3D cube in the 3D widget and the colour of the .dae file is a dark blue. In iBooks Author on my mac it displays properly but when I preview it on the iPad the blue turns turquoise and it horribly inaccurate.
    Is this an issue anybody else is finding? Could it be to do with the blue colours in particular or the lights in the .dae file?
    Any tips welcome

  • Hype widget; audio won't play when previewing on iPad

    Hi,
    I've come across a strange 'bug' in iBooks Author. Hope someone can help.
    I made a widget using Tumult's Hype software. It has multiple scenes, audio and animated text. When previewing the widget in Hype everything works fine. But here comes the strange part;
    When I insert the hype widget in an empty iBooksAuthor book the animation and audio works fine when previewing on my iPad2. But when i insert the widget in my iBook, wich has already ten pages filled with text, reviews, etc., the animation work, but the audio won't play when previewing on my iPad.
    People from Tumult helped me, but were not able to fix this.
    So in an empty book the widget from Hype works fine, but when inserting the widget in a book that has some pages the audio won't play! How can i fix this?
    Thanks for the support!

  • IBooks Author: superscript not displaying after export to iPad / iPhone

    superscript displays perfectly in iBooks Author on my Mac but reverts to normal baseline in iBooks on iOS. I have tried with different font — same problem. What could the problem be?

    Thanks for your interest Tom.
    Here is a screenshot from iBooks Author. Take note of the reference '3' at the end if the top right paragraph.
    Here is the same page in iBooks on my iPad mini:
    I have tried restarting iBooks on my iPad mini and I have tried it with iBooks on my wife's 3rd generation retina iPad.

  • Links lost when exporting to INX file in CS4 for Mac.

    I am working with a remote designer who is still in InDesign CS3, but I have CS4. We are both using Macintosh computers. When he emails me a CS3 file, I open it and it converts to CS4, and the links all seem to be just fine: They're missing, because he hasn't sent me the linked files, but the previews and the names of the links are all fine. But when I export the file as Indesign Interchange - INX - format and email it back to him, he opens it and all the links are gone -- they are replaced withe gibberish, and the only way to get the file back is to remember where the links were and manually re-link everything. This is a known bug, and I understand it was fixed in the Windows version of CS4 with an update. Does anyone know when it will be fixed in the Mac version? We are about to have to revert to QuarkXpress, because this is an untenable way to work.
    Thank you.

    The release notes for the updates indicate that the problem was fixed. If you've applied the update, you might re-check your version number and make sure that it "took".

  • Web sites lost when I reinstalled sofware

    I had 2 web sites that I designed using iWeb.
    I had to replace my hard drive and reinstall sofware.
    Now I lost my web sites, when I start iWeb the left window where my 2 web sites used to appear is empty.
    I noticed that I have the files that belong to 1 of my web sites is in the folder marked Sites in a back-up, when I copied these files to the Sites folder of the newly reinstalled software, it still does not appear on the left window of iWeb. It is still as if I am using iWeb for the very first time.
    How can I recover my 2 web site files? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    The file you need to use with iWeb for managing your websites is named Domain.sites or Domain.sites2 depending on the version of iWeb your using, 2 or 3.  They would be located in your Home/Library/Applications Support/iWeb folder. 
    If you didn't have a backup of your drive before it crashed and was replaced you won't be able to recover them and will have to rebuild your sites from scratch.
    If you do have to rebuild from scratch this would be the time to switch to a supported, up to date web site application as iWeb has been unsupported/dead for about 2 years now.
    If you search the iWeb forum for "iWeb replacement" or "iWeb alternate" you'll find many topics discussing them.  One that many have gravitated to is EverWeb which is very iWeb like in its user interface and drag and drop capabilities.  However, it is much more advanced that iWeb was.

  • Word TOC links lost when PDF created

    I'm trying out Acrobat Pro XI- the trial version.
    The links in the source Word 2007 document work properly, are hyperlinked, all that good stuff. I can PDF using other software and the TOC links work properly.
    When I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, no TOC links when the PDF is created.
    I've searched the forum - the only suggestion I found does not apply.
    Thanks

    Look at the Preferences in Word's Acrobat tab and see if it's checked properly.

  • Hypertext link lost when dela pdf conversion

    Hello,
    We use Acrobat X Pro and Office 2013. When we convert a PowerPoint document containing hyperlinks in pdf format, the links are no longer active.
    Could you help us?
    Thank you in advance.
    cordially

    Hi
    Acrobat X does not support Office 2013. For Office 2013, you need to have Acrobat 11.0.1 or higher.

  • All WEB links lost in an iOS 6 numbers sheet

    Hi,
    I work with Numbers '09 on an iMac. Lately I bought an iPad and installed the iOS Numbers application to be able to work with my Number sheets in iCloud.
    So 1 sheet in iCloud and updating it with Numbers  on iMac and Numbers on iOS.
    From the moment on I open the sheet on my iOS device it warns me that it will lose all hyperlinks ( WEBlinks ). And that is what it does and leaves my sheet useless on iOS and iMac !
    Is there a solution ?
    Secondly, there is no way to access the files in iCloud using Finder, which should be an obvious posibility. Accessing via the WEB interface is quite bothering.
    I though to use iMac and iOS devices using the same files in an easy and simple way, but it does not work and it is not easy.
    Are there solutions ??
    Thanks
    Dirk

    Hi,
    I sorted it out by myself by reading the internet and doing some tests. Here goes my idea about iOS numbers and the iCloud.
    iMac MAC OS Numbers 09 is NOT compatible with iOS numbers
    And that is it. The iOS version is made for people using iPhone and iPad, the Numbers 09 running on iMac is made for MAC OS.
    Trying to share a numbers sheet via iCloud between iMac, iPhone and iPad means that you will LOSE all hyperlinks saved in a sheet, which could be Web portals and Email addresses. iOS Numbers asks you to make copies of the sheet to be edited, but that is a 10 years back in time practice. iOS numbers is useless for my purposes.
    iMac integration of iCloud
    First, in iCloud you can only share Apple related files by compatible applications. There is NO integration with Finder, the Apple file explorer! Access is only possible via WEB or compatible applications, like Numbers.
    iCloud is an iOS inspired product. The uif is identical. In fact, it is not straight forward to be used from iMac as there is no special MAC OS application, either Filer integration. DropBox is preferable to be used, because it is accessible from Filer, Web, applications, iPhone, iPad. It is compatible with all OS's and integrated in Filer !
    iCloud is wonderful for synchronization between Apple products like Contacts, Calendar, Safari, iMessage, but not for documents and files ( until today )

  • Why do GoPro App inverts photos when preview on ipad?

    When I use the GoPro App for iPad-iPhone-iPod to preview photos from camera, the images show up backwards (as if looking at them in a mirror).
    Is this normal?

    One of the two photos is the HDR version. The other is the normal picture without HDR.

  • Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author  I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

    I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it.  So far, so good. And some  folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
    Thanks for any insights.

    I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘  and a second one called  ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor).  So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.
