Media widget bug?

I'm writing a language book and audio is very important to me. When I insert an audio clip and then preview it on my iPad, the transition back and forth from portrait to landscape causes a crash. I removed it and it stopped crashing. Can someone else test and tell me if it's the same for them? Thanks.
Add an audio file in the media widget and preview. Keep changing the orientation, usually 1 or 2 times is enough.

Update: Played a little more and it seems to be a combination of a table inside a text box (if you want to make sure it's right, it will only show in portrait mode if it's in the text box) plus a media widget. I can get it to crash with a video or audio clip now on a default template.
Can anyone else verify this?

Ibook Author audio (AAC) media widget rejected in validation??

We have a complex image, video and music book from the Arctic created on ibooks author. Everything seems to validate through itunes producer on delivery except for this error message.
ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets: assets/media/Arctic_master_music.m4p" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
We've done everything in widget sizing, placement, audio encoding to aac from QT, itunes and compressor. We can't get past there error? Is there a bug in the ibook author or am I missing someting.
Any ideas. The videos work fine, just the audio clip/
richard

John, as you can see by my previous response we haven't solved the audio error ITMS-9000, audio outside of widget. But we haven't forced the issue as of late.
We had so much video with audio, that we pulled the page with the music pieces. Our idea was to see if the book without the error on the audio would pass and it did. We had to make some other corrections and link fixes, but the video and images all passed. I was impressed that someone was actually going through page by page.
So once the book is up, we're going to start with the music (audio only) from scratch, strictly following the process that apple outlines. We will resubmit it and if it won't pass the error, then I have only one specific issue for myself and apple to deal with. I have a feeling it's something I'm doing in the music conversion, but we've compressed it from QT, from iTiunes and from compressor following their guidelines all with the same error of this audio placed within their media widget. Now maybe with their recent ibook author updates things have been fixed. See I have this little feeling it's a bug in ibook author compiler. But over many years where I jumped out and blamed someone and been wrong, I have to be sure it's me and not them.
So if anyone has had success in audio only book elements placed in ibook author media widget and successfully got it published, tell us your secret. Please. Or if others are having the same issue, then we need together to find an answer quickly.
Once I find the answer on this issue I'll be sure to post the steps to our success.

Hyperlink to a webpage in a media widget caption

Is there a way to make a link to an external website in caption text?
I inserted a media widget and a video clip. Below the clip is the text caption of the talking head speaker's name and a line of text describing what he is saying. I'm trying to create an external web link to IMDB when one clicks the name of the speaker. Can't seem to be able to do that!
Any ideas or am I doing something wrong here?

If you input the text in any part of iBA - within the body text or a captions - you can select whatever word or words you chose, and using the make a link option in the Inspector - select the webpage option and type in the FULL URL i.e. http://www. xxxxxxxxx.com or net etc,.
the selected text will be underlined and colour changed to whatever your style is - default - for reasons known only to Apple is red as opposed to the internationally used blue.
If you want it changed - disable - make inactive - the link text you selected - open the Styles drawer and look for "hyperlink" in red.... now change your text colour to blue ( or choice) disable the underline if you want - when done click the down arrow to the right of hyperlink in the styles drawer and choose
"redefine style from selection" your text - and every other link in the book will now be as you styled it.

Why can't I see the social media widgets in Firefox?

I have noticed that the social media widgets "follow" on both FB and Twitter seem to show up fine in Chrome but fail to appear in Firefox. What can I do to rectify this?

This can be due to browser plugin issue. Please try to check browser settings and then view again.
If same issue, then provide us the page url.
Thanks,

Media Widget missing Start/Stop Sliders

I have seen video tutorials on inserting Media widgets in iBooks Author that show the Start/Stop Slider for controlling start and stop frames in the Widget Inspector. However, these sliders DO NOT show up in the Widget Inspector in my iBook when selecting one of the videos I have inserted. Poster Frame, Repeat and Playback controls are all visible in the Media widget as they should be. I am using Author version 1.1 (190). Any help out there?

Not the scrubbing slider, the Start Frame and Stop Frame slder in the Inspector just above the Poster Frame slider (where you select the frame you want as the display frame). The tutorial I saw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzk9pyBnhTU) shows this addition slider in the Inspector box. Either it used to be there and isn't any longer or my version of iBook Author is not current (which I doubt but here is the info from my original query: version 1.1 (190)

N8 music widget bug

Music widget bug:

And how to fix without restarting phone?
Nokia Please Help N9 live!
Please Fix:

What exactly causes that bug? I ask because I tried for at least 15 minutes to recreate it now and I didn't manage once. Probably something wrong with your phone. i realized that when you go back to your home screen the play button is lit up and the skip buttons are dim even when playing music.
On my phone when it's playing the play buttons turns to a pause button and the skip buttons light up. Was your phone always like this? If I knew how to make that happen I could help you pin point what's causing it.

HTML Snippet widget bug report.

Dear Apple iWeb 08 Engineers.
I didn't know where to send this bug report and so I have resorted to this forum. I hope it gets to you somehow.
When creating a simple HTML Snippet in a page it seems that the piece of code that refers to the newly created widget in the .html for the page has a bug in it. For example, I have a page on my website called "Animation"; it has a simple HTML Snippet the code for which has been tested (by viewing the file widget0_markup.html in a browser). In Animation.html the following line appears
<iframe id="widget0-frame" src=".//Animationfiles/widget0markup.html" frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Surely the pathname in the "src" option is in error (what the **** is .//?). If I change it to ./ by hand then everything works. Please change this asap, because at the moment I have to go into every page and change it by hand after publishing.
Many thanks, Marvin.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid that I'm not convinced.
In all the flavours of unix that I've ever used ./ is the current directory, ../ is the parent directory and ../../ is the grandparent directory (not .// as you suggest). In any case, the path name of source file in question is ./Animationfiles/widget0markup.html (assuming the code in question is in the file Animation.html) and so going up the tree into the grandparent directory is not what you want to do anyway; the directory Animation_files is always in the same directory as Animation.html and the file widget0_markup.html is saved, by iWeb upon publication, in the directory ./Animation_files.
In short, I still think it's a bug, but thanks for the advice; I apologise if I am wrong.
Marvin.

Critical Keynote widget bug on iBooks Author 2.2

Hello,
I think I found a bug on ibooks Author 2.2. If a Keynote widget is added to a .iba document created on IBA 2.2, it cannot be previewed in iBooks 3.2 for iOS 7 or iBooks 1.0.1 for OSX Mavericks. The widget only works when viewed on iOS 8 or OSX Yosemite.
Check the attached screenshot.
Has anybody experienced this bug? Any ideas or fixes?
I think this should be fixed ASAP because there are still thousands of users reading ibooks on iPads with iOS 7 or earlier installed.

Confirmed. This isn't the only time we've had issues with the keynote widget. Because of this and a number of other issues and glitches with ibooks / ibooks author we've stopped recommending it to our clients as a platform for professional use. A pity as it showed great promise at first. The support is non existent (of course) and the software may or may not work depending on so many factors that it seems more like a hobby software project than something published by a professional outfit.

Text validation widget bug?

I have used text validation in a table body like this:
<table style="width:20%">
<tbody id="login_val">
<tr><td>E-Mail</td><td><input
name="login" id="login" type="text"></td></tr>
<tr class="textfieldRequiredMsg"><td
colspan="2">Enter your login E-Mail.</td></tr>
<tr class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg"><td
colspan="2">Enter a valid E-Mail address.</td></tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr><td></td><td><input
name="submint" id="submit" type="submit" value="Log
In"></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Initialised with: var login_val = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("login_val", "email",
{validateOn:["blur"]});
If there is an input error - the error table-row shows up as
expected but the first td of the first row (the one showing the
word 'E-Mail') suddenly has a colspan"2" on it too. (tested only in
Firefox)
Do I miss something here? Or is this a bug? Feature???
Cheers from down under.

Hello,
I think the problem in this situation appears because of the
CSS definition. The default definition right now to display an
error message is:
.textfieldRequiredState .textfieldRequiredMsg,
display: inline;
color: #CC3333;
border: 1px solid #CC3333;
When this class is used with table rows the results are
unexpected because the table rows have a special status and cannot
normally be displayed as an inline element. Unfortunately your
scenario hit a browser limitation in the CSS implementation. The IE
because it doesn't have yet support for display:table as the CSS2
specify will render "correctly (?!)" the display:inline or
display:block on table row elements. FF because it has correct
support for display:table-row will work incorrectly with the inline
as the specification mention.
The only solution I see is to manipulate the CSS height
property, margin and padding instead of manipulating the display if
you want to continue to use the table structure above.
Regards,
Cristian

Tooltip widget bug? Shows up correctly in Muse preview, distorted content on business catalyst.

This is a cross question from Adobe Muse Bugs, as it also affects business catalyst.
I have 3 panels on my tooltip.
3 different descriptions for each one.
Preview mode shows up accurately on what I have designed, but when uploaded to business catalyst, only the distorted description from the first tooltip panel shows up.
The descriptions are really just rasterised text, with a translucent rectangle behind it.
This issue is not observed when viewing exported html file. Browser used to test is Google Chrome
What is the problem here? The widget? Muse? Business Catalyst? Chrome? And how do I fix it?
I'm not sure how I'd upload the html files here, but the link for the hosted site on Business Catalyst is here: Home

Ok, I've checked the site linked here with Safari.
It works normally, so I'm thinking it's a Chrome problem.

Weather widget bug? - dont show my city

After upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.0 (and 10.6.3) weather widget dont show my city - Radom, Poland(Mazowieckie).
My city is not small (over 250.000 people). Widget show smalest cites around my location, but Radom no.
Ealier version weather widget correct show weather in my city (10.5.8 system in other computer). It is bug or future?
Is possible to delete new version (system 10.6.3) of weather widget and install old widget? (from system 10.5.8)

Only certain more major cities are listed. You need to find a major city near your's, and listed in the widget's list, and use their weather lisitng. Obviously not ALL cities are listed.
Hope this helps

Calendar widget bug

I'm experiencing a bug with the Calendar widget.
If I have an event that goes from the morning to the afternoon, like from 11:30am to 12:30pm, the widget will show 11:30am to 12:30am.
Also, if I have an event that goes from 8am to 3pm the day after, the widget shows that the event goes from 8am to 3am.
This is very frustrating on confusing.
It should be an esay fix.
Thanks.

N86 - media player Bug ?

Hi,
while my media player is on pause, after receiving a call and closing it, then media player start playing.
Is it a bug or it can be solve with settings?

Normally the media player will pause when you receive a call and the duration depends on how long the call would be, and technically it's not a bug. It automatically plays and resumes after you end the call to where were you watching or listening with a fade in effect to the sound.

Media Sync Bug workaround?

There seems to be a bug with using Media Sync with a Sound
Icon. If the events synced with the sound last longer than the
audio, the flow of Authorware freezes. The navigation buttons still
function, but you can not proceed beyond the audio. (This was
discovered when slower computers were running the application.) It
has been confirmed that this is a bug.
So, now I'm working on a way around this. After the last icon
synced with the audio, I had originally placed icons that waited
for the audio to complete and then would jump to the next icon
after the audio. This works the first time through the page, but it
creates another problem once you replay the page by either using a
replay or back button.
This new problem seems to treat the Navigation or the Goto
function (I have tried both) as if they were jumping to a new page
and erases everything on the page that appeared before the jump.
Everything after the jump seems to be placed on a "limbo" page and
does not get erased even if going to the next page on the
framework. The puzzling part is that this does not happen the first
time through the page.
Is there a way around these problems other than breaking
everything out of the media sync and placing it directly onto the
flowline using concurrent audio?
