Magazines

I don't have an iPad yet (I'm waiting for 2nd generation). But one thing I do want to do when I get one is subscribe to some magazines. Specifically National Geographic and some photography magazines. Currently the only digital subscription to NatGeo I've found is from Barnes & Noble, via their Nook app.
However I noticed one comment on the NatGeo product page that said the magazine is not supported on iPad. Can anyone confirm this? And in general, has anyone used the Nook app for other magazine subs on iPad? How is the experience? I suspect it is very good.
Thanks for any input.
Regards,
Michael

I just checked out their website and it looks like Zinio has all the magazines I'm looking for. Thanks for the recommendation! And the sub to NatGeo is less expensive than the B&N sub. One more reason to get an iPad. Now if Apple will just hurry up and release the 2nd gen... heh.
Regards,
Michael

  • How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

    I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV  ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
    I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!
    file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Desktop/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIV E%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.html
    I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
    Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
    Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

    Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
    Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
    http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
    Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option  - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
    I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes,  I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my  in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
    I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
    Thanks for any help.

  • How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

    Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
    In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
    So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

    This is also a good site:  http://www.issuu.com/  You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.)  You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there.  Good luck!

  • Can you move a magazine app designed by another company to Adobe DPS?

    My company had a digital company (who shall remain nameless) produce their magazine app under the (digital company's) information. I want to transfer everything over to Adobe DPS because frankly, this digital company did not live up to their promises, have terrible customer service, and are strictly just adding buttons to a pdf (not interactive at all). With that said, do I need to start from scratch and build a new app? Or can I just obtain the app that's already been created? If not, do I just tell the other company to delete our app? Thanks!

    If you move to DPS you'll wind up building a new application using our tools and submitting that to Apple as an update to the existing application. Your readers will see an update to the app and when they download it they'll have the new version.
    What is more complicated to sort out is whether readers would still be entitled to content they'd previously purchased. That depends a lot on you previous setup, how the previous product handled purchases, etc.

  • Older magazine downloads disappear from 'Newstand'..

    Hi,
      I am very sorry if this is the wrong area to post this question but I looked for a long time without being able to find an appropriate place to star this discussion. I am a current subscriber to Thrasher Skateboarding magazine, and WIRED magazine.. and I like the concept of Newstand.. however whenever I download the new issue of a magzine it appears in 'Newstand' in replacement of the prebious issues or any magazines I have. So I never have any more then 1 magazine on the shelf at a time. For insstane I downloaded the October issue of WIRED... and it appeared in Newstand, and then when the  November issue came out and I downloaded it.. the October issue disappeared and the new issue was the only one there. None of my other magazine downloads are in it either. Leaving me with only one magazine in Newstand at any given time.
    Can anyone explain why this is to me and how I fix it so all magazines (from subscribtion and one of purposes as well) appear in Newstand?
    Thankyou in advance for any help.

    Hi there. Each of the magazines in Newsstand are actually individual apps in their own right. Newsstand is just a 'shelf' where these apps sit, instead of being on your desktop (like other non-magazine apps). Therefore, there's no way to set how the magazines behave collectively. Instead, each magazine is configured inside each app. For example, I have the Guardian Newspaoer app within Newsstand - in order to set how it shows previous editions, I have to go into the app via Newsstand, then go to settings within the app itself and set it to 'forget editions older than 1 week.' There is only ever one Guardian app in Newsstand and I access the various editions that I've downloaded within the Guardian App. Your magazines should work in the same way. Hope this helps.

  • From inDesign to Magazine (Understanding the process - Indesign - In5 - Bakerframework -)

         Hello there, firstly I'd just like to say thanks so much for taking the time to help me (and maybe others who read this forum and have the same confusion) on how to go about these issues.
         I am incredibly new with creating Newsstand apps and have a very rough idea on how to create a Magazine to send off to the Newsstand application as affordable as possible. But, nevertheless, here is what my concept consists of.
         A: Create the particular "Issue" via inDesign
         B: Export the issue with "in5" to an HPUB format (Link to plugin - http://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/?ref=footer)
         C: One thing I need help on - Import the .json created from in5 to Bakerframwork via xCode. (Anyone know any tutorials or exactly whats happening when I do this?)
         - From there I am under the assumption it some how links up with your actual "Magazine App" (What downloads when you click on the magazine name in the Newsstand store") How's this work?
         Now, when it actually comes to the application it's self (Issue container section) is where I get pretty nervous. I do not consider myself an App developer and am
         pretty much completely confused on what to do when it comes to this. I've been looking at alternative methods for being able to create that Magazine app / Issue purchaser / container section and have come across a template container (Link to site - http://www.appdesignvault.com/newsstand-app-ios/ ) and was hoping this would work with the HPUB i've generated out of in5. Does baker framework still need to be used? (Just a bit confused on exactly what bakerframework does)
         I am trying my hardest to completely understand what's actually happening throughout this process but the way I am going about it seems to be only one way out of plenty to actually create a Newsstand app. So, what I suppose I need help on is what are the file extensions that are generated when I export them? What is the file extension of the "issue" and how does it link to my "Magazine app" and how does this all tie in with baker framework?

    You ought to be able to clip the black in photoshop so 97% outputs at 100% using levels or curves. Not knowing what the page looks like otherwise I couldn't say if this will be successful with the gradient or if you'd lose other sahodw details, but if it's going to press you probably don't really need to worry about it -- the dot gain on 97% will probably plug it up on the paper anyway.

  • Digital Publishing and Interactivity with digital magazine on my own server

    Hello... I am researching what would be the best plan of action for my project... need to design a digital magazine for the web that is interactive and has rich media like video, animations, etc.
    I am thinking of doing the following... design my animations in Edge Animate that will output html5 friendly animations, then use Indesign to design my master digital magazine like the way I want to with embedded rich media and symbols that have interactivity options.
    I am unsure of my next step, or if I am on the right track... should I bring in this Indesign file as a format compatible with Html5, CSS3, Wordpress or what? And use Jquery plugins within the overall structure to add flash like effects.
    Any suggestions?

  • New Certification blog and new magazine about certification

    Dear Oracle Certification addicts
    Please consult the following blog http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/
    I did really appreciate the To Certify or Not to Certify topic is it quite good.
    Especially that Note to Hiring Managers: Just as candidate should not stake their careers solely on certification, you should not hire someone just because they are certified. Certification is an important factor and should play a role in your hiring process, but you should also base your hiring decisions on experience, education/training and communication skills (among other things). Most importantly you should follow up carefully with the candidate’s references. By looking at the whole package and verifying the details with multiple references you will improve your chances of hiring the right candidate.
    And we have now also a dedicated magazine or new letter on the oracle certification
    Extract from the news letter:
    July has been a busy month in Oracle Certification, with several new exciting things to share! Among them, our new and long-awaited Oracle Certification Blog. We are looking forward to sharing ongoing updates and discussing relevant topics in this short and easy to read format. Let us know what you think!
    We’re also happy to share that we have quite a few certifications still available in beta for a significant discount. It’s not only your chance to be among the first to be certified, but allows you to participate in our development process by providing Oracle with valuable feedback.. And of course, we are ramping up for our annual Oracle blowout in San Francisco - Oracle OpenWorld 2008, coming up in September. We hope to see you there!
    Paul Sorensen | Director of Certification, Oracle
    Have good readings....

    My understand is Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional (OCP) certification is already available via 1z0-050 to those with 10g OCP; to be technically correct IMHO this would make it a new path to the certification rather than a new certification ;-)

  • I purchased Linux Pro Magazine, they did some upgrade and I had to restore my purchases on my iPhone which worked.  However, I can't restore my purchases on my iPad when I login I keep getting incorrect Apple ID or password.  How do I fix this?

    Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices.  I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message.  "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect.  Plese try again."
    I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases.

  • I also cannot access part of the App Store, I have been trying to down load a magazine app, it has been trying to connect but it has been taking a long time. Also since I did my last update I have lost the ability to face time, I also cannot open iPhoto's

    Since my last update on the newest version iPad I have not been able to download a magazine app that I have a subscription for as well I cannot open iPhoto's or video. When I go into settings and go down to where iTunes Mail etc are it freezes my I pad and I cannot access these. Is there a apple system problem? This has been going on for over a week now.

    For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:

    Also try resetting your iPad:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Is it possible to print from magazines in newsstand? Or extract .pdfs

    I would like to extract a page or two from knitting magazines I subscribe to in Newsstand. This is necessary to follow the charts. I could either print them or extract a .pdf to use in an iPad app especially for knitters. I can do this with hard copies, of course. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, then it's back to hard copies.

    If you screenshot it then you will be able to print it off from your photos if you have an Air Printer.

  • How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

    Hi,
    Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
    The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
    So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
    (I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
    Thanks for your help!
    Best regards!

    Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    Instead, try:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

  • I have a cd of New Yorker magazine cartoons which I got in 2004. It requires adobe 6.0.1 but my computer will not allow me to install that version as it is outdated.  I have windows 7. -Bob

    I have a cd of New Yorker magazine cartoons which I got in 2004. It requires adobe 6.0.1 but my computer will not allow me to install that version as it is outdated.  I have windows 7. How to I get this CD to open? -Bob

    If the CD absolutely requires that old version, then it is basically obsolete. However, it might work with the current version ... have you installed the current version of Adobe Reader, and if so what does it say when you try to use the CD?

  • A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

    A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
    I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference.  I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
    Any thoughts about what might be wrong? 

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

    The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!
    I have now followed multiple instructions from this and other forums. have turned push notifications off. Turned them on. Have updated to IOS 6. Have signed out and signed back in, have uninstalled all magazines and reinstalled. Have synced, and updated everything in iTunes.
    Nothing works,. Also cannot use youtube.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.
