Is there still a hardware discount for iBooks authors?

In the old interface for iTunes Connect, one of the links on the bottom right of the first page opened the apple store and allowed authors to buy hardware for a discount. I believe it was a 10% discount on up to 2 computers and 2 iPods each year. I can't find a similar link on the new interface. Do authors no longer receive this discount?

Go to your account in iTunes Connect > Resources and Help > Apple Store (located under the "Getting Started" section. You can purchase up to two Mac computers and two iPods per year at a discounted rate. Discounts are available in the U.S., Canada, and Europe)

Is there a page curl transition for iBooks Author?

Does anyone know why there isn't a page curl transition for books created in iBooks Author? There should also be a flipboard transition available as well.

It seems the Apple Pages app exports to the ePub format. This is what some may be looking for.
If one wishes to proof on Touch or iPhone, or if one wants the page curl effect, look into Pages and iTunes. Here is the link I found.

To be clear, this is a step back from what iBooks Author provides overall. But, in my case, it's what the kids wanted.

Is there an Apple Hardware Test for PowerPC G5?

Is there an Apple Hardware Test for PowerPC G5? Is it on disc, downloadable from Apple?

You can call Apple support to find out if they still have original OS X disks available for your system. Apple has been letting the disk inventory run out, so they may or may not still have them. Last I recall they were charging around $60 for the set.
If the disks are not available, TechTool Pro would be the commercially available hardware test tool that is available: http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=104

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

Is there a Paste in Place option for iBooks Author?

Is there a paste in place option for iBooks Author like there is in Adobe InDesign? Thanks.

InDesign's PIP means pasting at arbitrary coordinates.
Not sure what that has to do with iBA, sorry, which isn't strictly canvas based.
If you just want to clone items....that depends on the object. Best to experiment with your particular content, etc.

Is there any documentation for iBooks Author.

Is there any documentation for iBooks Author.

Is there a pc version available for ibooks.

is there a pc version available for ibooks.
where does the .itmsp files reside in itunes and how do i donwload it.
I am a novice on the apple peoducts.
Need help. Thanks.
regards
PP

No, there is due to be an iBooks reader for OS X Mavericks, but as yet no indication of if or when that will be extended to earlier versions of OS X, let alone to Windows PCs.
From the look of this, .itmsp is the format publishers use to upload content to the iTunes Store, but not what the user downloads. iBooks files have the extension .epub. Non-protected iBooks can be read in any suitable reader, protected books need an iBooks app.

Is there any student/educational discounts for the new iPad?

Is there any student/educational discounts for the new iPad?

Not from Apple for direct purchase. Schools can buy them in bulk for a discount (10% off when buying ten, I think).

each page has at least one video widget (some pages have two), a photo gallery widget plus a static image and text
glossary index with 100 entries that include text and photos (would love to find someone who can program including collada 3-D images into the glossary. but that is a nice to have, not a need to have)
all images require resizing for the ibook (they are print images)
all videos require compression for the ibook
half of the pages have 3-d collada files

Looking for estimates to present to the company on the cost to outsourse as well as find possible vendors to talk to and provide more detail.

HTML5 audio widget for iBooks Author

Hello!
I'm creating a HTML widget for iBooks Author and I want to add a audio tag of HTML5 in my HTML file. When I do this, I test in Safari Browser and the audio sounds good, so I add my widget with the HTML file, sounds, Default.png and Info.plist and I do a Preview for see in iPad. When I open the widget in iPad the sound doesn't work and it show me a message like this:
"cannot play audio file"
The audio have a .m4a extension. I don't know what can I do...
Someone can help me, please?
Thanks!

Hi Crisiii,
I have the same problem. However, in my case it does work if I test the widget in an new empty book. When I add the widget to the real book it does not work. mabe you should do the test to troble-shoot and have a better idea of what is wrong in your case.
I will try to find a fix to the problem and let you know if I do. Please do the same if you find what the problem is.
Thank you.

I need help with Compressor 4 settings to convert .mp4 files to .m4v for iBooks Author

I'm a curriculum design guy with no video background. I have Compressor 4, but don't really know much about how to best use it. I'd appreciate some help with getting the right setting for my project. Screen shots of settings would be much appreciated, since I don't know much video terminology.
I'm making an free iBook for students on WWII propaganda using old videos from the Internet archive.
I'd plan to use Compressor to:
1. Convert the .mp4 files to a .m4v that iBooks Author will accept. (I know I can use QT for that, but it increases file size)
2. Use Compressor to reduce file size so my iBook doesn't get too big
3. Get videos that look & sound the best, given the poor quality of the original source videos.
Here's some sample videos that I'll use:
http://www.archive.org/download/OutOfTheFryingPanIntoTheFiringLine/OutOfTheFryin gPanIntoTheFiringLine.mp
http://archive.org/download/AvengeDe1942/AvengeDe1942_edit.mp4
PS - I will also be editing some of the original videos in iMovie - if I use different settings to prep those videos for iBook Author, let me know.
Much thanks in advance for any help

Compressor is half the size compared to QtX encoding, 17 MBs...
File Format... H.264 for Apple Devices...
Device: iPhone Local/WiFi
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 480x368
Data Rate: 700
Uncheck Multi-pass

So what is better - time efficient - Google Sketch or Strata 3d SE for ibooks author use?

So what is better - time efficient - Google Sketch or Strata 3d SE for ibooks author use?

Yes, but I doubt if my definition of ease-of-use is the same as yours.
As always with these types of questions, the best method is to work with both, on your machine, using your environment, your content, your specs, your resources, with your time and then decide.

Do the Templates and Themes for iBooks Author include the flip page animation?

Well, this question is concern about something similar asked by romondodavis on 28-mar-2012 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17981772#17981772) and also answered by K T.
So my question refers to know if when buying the Templates and Themes for iBooks Author the curl/turn/flip animation is included with them or should I have to buy necessary Pages so I can generate those industry standard e-pubs as K T suggests in order to get the turn page animation enabled by default?
Thanks in advance
Alex
