IBooks Author - 'Your book couldn't be exported.'

After working on a project on iBooks Author for my medical school I finally try and export it to an iBooks file and I get the warning message:
'Your book couldn’t be exported. Verify that your destination disk isn’t full and that you have permission to write to it, then try again.'
I then try to export it to pdf and the file is empty, it is also unable to be previewed anymore, does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
I have 12GB of space left on my hard drive and it is my laptop so the permissions should be fine.
Thanks in advance

Your computer but....are you working on a network at the school or in your home with your own net connection?
Networks have exclusions set by the IT department to prevent misuse.
A book exported to PDF , should show teh book content , albeit, slighty different to what your see in iBA or iBooks when previewed. Again, it if you are on a network, there may be issues.
Run a text with a default template saved from iBA and see what the result is.

How to make hard cover paper book from iBooks author digital book

Someone suggested I make a few hard cover books from my iBooks Author published digital book. How would you go about doing this?
What file should I should I use, (PDF, etc)? What printer would do this best (iPhoto publishing, etc)?
Hoping it will be easy to use the format of iBooks Author so that I won't have to make changes.
Many thanks for your help.

You can print directly from iBA or you can generate a PDF from the print menu and use that. Be sure to test layouts, orientation, etc. Of course certain content won't be output to a printer.
There are hundreds of printers to choose from - shop your budget.

IBooks Author, one book multiple languages!

Hey,
I am writing a book in iBooks author that will eventually be published in the US, Europe and Canada. It is a technical publication and while the content is identical regardless of where you are reading the book I want to be able to publish different versions to take account of regional spelling differences (Tire/Tyre, airplane/aeroplane, harbor/harbour, etc).
What I want to do is to write the book in US English, make a copy and then be able to change the books entire language to Candadian or British English in such a way that a spellcheck will correct the words that are spelt differently in the different countries.
The problem I see is that in the main document settings the language list only contains English and not the specific types of English I am looking for and changing the language text in every box doesnt seem to make the spellchecker work.
Any ideas??

What settings are those? The Inspector has them all
In any case, I don't think you do what you want without human editing. The OS X spellcheckers are not good enough.

IBooks author - publishing books - different countries

Is it possible to publish a book to the US and for example Netherlands (or other EU country) store? Or is all content published to the ibooks store accessable throughout the univers :-)

I think there are only 51 countries with stores and you choose which ones you want your book to appear in when you send it to Apple

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.

How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
My active file is vannished.
I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
Thanks for your help!

Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.

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.

How to publish an iBook without using iBooks Author?

I've been reading the various pages on the subject and what I've gathered is:
-If you publish through iBooks Author, you can only sell your book through iBooks.
Is there an option in which you can upload a pdf version of the book?
If so, are you required to provide an ISBN or is there a way around it?

You don't have to use iBooks Author (and books produced by iBA can only be read in the iBooks app on iPads and Macs, they can't be read on iPhones nor iPod Touches), but you can't sell PDFs in the iBookstore - but you can sell epubs in it.
Creating epubs with Pages : Creating ePub files with Pages.
Authors and publishers FAQ : http://www.apple.com/itunes/working-itunes/sell-content/books/book-faq.html
Selling books on iTunes : http://www.apple.com/itunes/working-itunes/sell-content/books/
From the above FAQ :
Do I need an International Standard Book Number (ISBN)?
No, an ISBN is recommended but not required for any book you are offering on the iBooks Store. An ISBN uniquely identifies the book and its current edition, and helps you to ensure that you are marketing the right book. The ISBN is also required for reporting your book's sales to industry reporting agencies and charting organizations.
To obtain an ISBN in the U.S., contact Bowker. To obtain an ISBN outside the U.S., contact the International ISBN Agency.

Does the eBooks created by iBooks Author support for iphone now?

I have been read some blogs discussing that the iPhone could gain new support for ebooks made by iBooks Author. And now, I wanna know whether the prediction is true or not. I can' t find any annoucement from Apple to confirm this point. Does anyone answer my confusion.

With the current software ..books created using iBooks Author cannot be viewed on iPhones.
iBooks Author creates books that can only...be used with iPads and on Macs with Mavericks installed, by using iBooks.
Thats it...no rumours. Blogs or to be more accurate...some of those who contribute to them seem to either be totally stupid, or like to make themselves look as if they have inside knowledge.
Apple created iBooks Author to allow self publishers create and publish books to the store. But not just novels or text only type books. iBA made these books allow audio / video ..and much much more than any novel. That being so....most interactive multi media books will not really display well on a screen the size if the iPhone.
Apple are more concerned in getting iPads in use more by business and education at all levels.
The only rumour that may well become fact is a larger sized screen for a bigger iPad mid to late 2014.

IBooks Author markets

Hi,
Is the iBookStore for iBooks Author-made books open and ready worldwide? Or just for the US? I am meaning paid ibooks, not just free ones.
Thanks.
Ignacio

if iBookStore is available in one country is ALSO available for textbooks made with iBooks Author, not just regular EPUBs and fixed-layout EPUBS?
Yes. Whether the book is in ePub or iBooks format doesn't matter.
