My iBooks Author won't open, can't re-install, won't delete....

It doesn't open, won't un-install. Icon looks suspicious. Can anyone help?
Thank you

Are you unable to drag it from the Applications folder to the trash?

    (1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

    There is no PDF available. I sent a link  to a page full of links and info not much different from the help files.
    There are many Free books in the iBooks store which will take you through the basics of iBA.
    I  like "Create your first Interactive book using iBooks Author"   its created by iBook-Widgets.com - who also  supply widgets at a price.. but the book is very free and very good.. search the iBooks store for their title.
    You cannot use iBA on an iPad, however, I also use the iPad app --  "Book Creater"   ( redjumper.net ) its very low priced around $3 or so. The people who  create it are helpful and friendly. You can distribut your books to friends and family  using  Dropbox or other cloud storage. If you want to creaet an ePub file and then upload to the iBooks store, its not difficult.  You create the book on your iPad. It is no where near as good as iBA for functionality.. but it spossible to  make really good eBooks.
    I think Applecare shoud come into effect with the language problems if it can be  found to be a glitch on the computer.  Applecare is product based and does not apply to software.
    Take it stage by stage,   visit your Apple store and   ask if they can solve the help files in langauges first, then  react to the answer, it could be they can solve the issue which leave you a clear path with iBA.
    Also you can  gather more indormation about how to use it with the help files.
    Try the info I have  included and   see how it develpops... any problems get back here and we can look for alternatives.
    try this... https://itunes.apple.com/app/id661166101?mt=8&&referrer=click%3Da63089e4-e3d4-49 e9-896a-58e0cfd50acf
    its the free version... if you like upgrade later.
    Happy New Year... hope its a good one....

  • I have a 2008 imac, and trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

    I have a 2008 mac, and am trying to use the latest iPhoto app. But it won't open. I have installed the library upgrade but still won't open?

    Why not? We can not see you so you have to give us details
    Did you run the iPhoto Library upgrader after you installed it - if not backup your iphoto library and go to the utilities folder in your Applications folder and double click on the iphoto library upgrader and RUN i - then launch iphoto 9.6 to complete the upgrade

  • My Ibooks author will not open a file

    I have an Ibooks author file that will not open.  How can I open the file to edit it?

    In that case, if the file isn't locked and/or owned by another user, and you don't see any errors when trying to access it, all I can imagine is that it is somehow broken/corrupted.
    If you don't have a backup to try instead, you may want to contact Apple for iBA support and see if they can help....that, or walk your MB into the nearest Apple Store and see what they think.
    Good luck in any case.

  • IBooks Author does not open existing ibook

    I updated iBooks Author yesterday and saved an existing ibook on my Mac and USB drive. Today morning, the book is refusing to open, displaying a "invalid format" message. The file also apprears to have shrunk in size, from 250mb to 8kb.
    Any idea of what happened and how I can resolve this? Or would I have to re-do the whole thing?

    I found the answer here. I guess I just didn't dig long enough!
    The short answer is that iBooks Author does not output a format that supports iPhone. Use Pages to generate an ePub file that supports iPhone, etc.
    See details in the following link:

  • Ibook author loading, save, open and update issue

    When we create the ibook author file with 30 pages the systme gets too slow, since it took cache file within the recovery folder.  Also when it take more time while save, open and update process. Curent file size is 169 MB (Minimac 10.7 with 2GB RAM and ibook author version is 1.1)
    Can you any one investigate this issue and help me how to remove this cache file and make the ibook author file is fast?

    I'd suggest to upgrade the ram in your mini to the maximum - low cost and the best thing you can do to improve performance for all apps.
    The cache file's purpose is to make things faster....but if a book is corrupted there may be issues using it for editing. You may need to remove resources and re-add to fix - that or make a new book from start.
    See this Apple Tech Note:
    Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books [ support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 ]
    Good luck.

  • Ibook author ate my book can someone help get it back?

    I have started writing my ibook in ibook author. All was fine till 3 weeks ago.
    Now I can see it as a preview in ibook store says "proof" on it, I can read it.. see it, but I can't reopen it in ibook author to edit and continue to write..
    Pls help
    I am a desperate writer who is a first time writer in ibook author ...

    Presumanbly the  "Proof" you  see in iBooks - is on either your mac or your iPad.. after you deciided to Preview it.
    Unless you physically deleted it... it which case  check the Trash,  - the book is on your computer, if you failed to open a folder to hold your iBooks Author file, which will have .iba suffix  -   MyBook.iba,  then  use the menu option OPEN or OPEN RECENT and look in Documents.
    To make it easier to keep track, I create a folder in Documents  " My iBooks 2013"   in that I had a folder using the  title of the current book. later  the screenshots and title page images can be kept there and  when you export your book, its better to have the "myBook.ibook file  in the same place.

  • Itunes won't open-can't find MSVCR80.dll

    Running Windows XP. downloaded the latest undate to i tunes and the system won't open.  Message says can't find MSVCR80.dll.
    Reloaded Itunes but get the same message.  Help

    Welcome to the club. So far the only proposed remedy to complete the upgrade is to do an iTunes (and related software) rip and replace. See the details in numerous posts to this forum.
    If you want to hang in there for a while to see if Apple can figure out the problem and provide a functioning 11.1.4 upgrade you can try reverting to a Windows restore point created prior to the failed upgrade attempt. Don't know if that's an XP option though.
    Note to self: always create a Windows restore point before allowing any Apple software upgrade attempts!

  • Tools, Sign, Comment   Print won't open, can't highlight or comment

    I have a Late 2010 MacBook Air running OS 10.9.4. I version of Adobe Reader with which I am having trouble is 11.0.07. I only recently got this machine but I didn’t have any similar issues on my previous Late 2010 MacBook Air. This previous machine was running OS 10.8 “Mountain Lion” whereas this machine is running 10.9 “Mavericks."
    My problem: whenever I try to open Tools, Comments or Sign menus in the sidebar, it’s a never-ending loading wheel; highlights and comments don’t work on PDFs; it won’t open the Print command.
    In addition, these errors may help with diagnostics.
    Often when I first try to open a document, if the application doesn’t unexpectedly quit, I get this error:
    "There was an error opening this document. Failed to load an application resource (internal error).”
    Also, when I try to open the “Check for updates” command under the Help bar, I get the error "An unimplemented or obsolete function was called.”
    I haven’t been able to find anything on this on the Adobe Reader forums or by googling various forum results.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Please try to uninstall the existing version and install the latest version and see if it works - http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
