Can't advance Keynote Widget on iBooks Author

Using Keynote 9 (version 5.1.1) and OS X Lion (10.7.2) and experiencing problems with Keynote Widget for iBooks Author.
The drag-and-drop feature works fine; I see the first slide - but the arrow button appears to be grayed out. Can't advance through any of my (pretty basic) transitions.
I don't have an iPad, so I can't see if the iBooks file works on that device, but I figured that the Keynote Widget should show some functionality in iBooks Author since both an Interactive Image Widget and QuickTime movie I added elsewhere appears to work. [That image clicks just fine in iBooks Author.]
Also, when I click "Show transport controls" in the inspector, I see arrows and 1/7 (number of slides) - but clicking still doesn't seem to work.
Do I need to be using an iPad to see this particular functionality? Or is this some sort of silly user-error? (Or both?)
Any hints are much appreciated.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Here is the support page I found to be less than "clear":
iBooks Author: About the Keynote widget (note the first bullet-point: "Adding a presentation to a Keynote widget"): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5067
I subsequently found the other support doc that is more clear - affirming the correctness of your answer.
Even so, I encourage you to reconsider the use of the word "clearly," which comes across as needlessly condescending.

HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides. When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move). Any suggestions?

Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
Supose an object on slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows. Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4 to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.

Quality of Keynote widget in iBooks Author

Dear All,
I am working on an iBook with many Keynote widgets. The keynotes are already made and connected to my iBook, but when i publish it to my iPad3 everything is unsharp. I played around with many resolutions and sizes but nothing helps. So i did a test with only text that has been typed in keynote. But also if i use only text, everything is blurry. How can i fix this problem?
Best Regards,
Vectar

Here are 2 screens. The sharp screen is just a normal iBook page. The screen unsharp screen, is teh same content only now in keynote and used as a widget and opened in fullscreen mode. It's a preview book that I email to myself and than choose to open with iBooks on my iPad.

Go back one animation on the iPad for Keynote integrated in iBooks Author

When playing a Keynote presentation, you can go back one animation if you hold down the Shift key while pressing the back arrow key.
But how can you do this on the iPad when you have integrated the Keynote presentation with a widget in iBooks Author?
Tapping or swiping brings forward each animation step by step. Bu swiping backward brings you back to the start of the slide.
Is there an equivallent for Shift+back arrow on the iPad for iBooks?

I have the same issue. I am also using the Keynote remote from my Iphone.

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.

How to change the answer text within the review widget of iBooks Author?

I want to change the answer text which appears after one has finished a test within the review widget of iBooks Author, but I can't figuere out how to do that.
I also want to sum up the result of a couple of questions as a percentage. How does that work?
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Reinhard

Notice the answers inside the widget, each with a circle to the left - tap on one of those, which will then appear green with a checkmark in the center to indicate the correct choice.

Is there a limit to how much text I can put in the scrolling sidebar widget in iBooks author?

Is there a limit to how much text I can put in the scrolling sidebar widget in iBooks author? I have recently tried putting about 3,500 words into a scrolling sidebar widget, and I can't seem to get all of the text into the widget. Thoughts? ideas?

There are button limits in the DVD spec (not just Encore).
DVD, 4:3 menu = 36 buttons
DVD, 16:9 menu = 18 buttons

Widget in ibooks author

I have made a widget with Dashcode. I have a list for access videos. It's fine on desktop. I place this widget in ibooks author and i can't see my list!!
In dascode i have check Network access .
Thanks.

You should check via you iPad, but I would not expect it to see videos on your desktop either.
Put them in the book or on a server on the 'net.

Can widgets in iBooks Author appear inline?

Hello,
Can widgets in iBooks Author appear inline? I want them to move along with the rest of my text when I insert a new paragraph.

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

Is there something like the questions widget in ibooks author in keynote?

Does anyone know how if there is a review widget within Keynote as there is in iBooks Author that can show more than 6 questions and can I edit this so that multiple ticks can be shown and show more than 6 questions?
I also want to know if I can alter the "Check Answer" button.

The interactive system in Keynote uses hyperlinks, click a button and it will jump to another slide, that's the sum of the amount of interactivity available.
An every day scenario; I want to review the scores to 5 questions with a multiple choice of 3 answers.
This requires 5 slides one question per slide.
I cannot click a button on slide 6, requesting to show the number of correct and wrong answers to all 5 questions. There is no database or dynamic library available to Keynote to allow a presentation of the data.

Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it. So far, so good. And some folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
Thanks for any insights.

I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘ and a second one called ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor). So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

Can't drag image into widgets using ibooks author

i have ibooks author 2.0 and i'm running on 10.8.2. i was working on ibooks author and suddenly i couldn't drag any pictures into the widgets, not the Interactive Image, not the Gallery. In the Gallery widget i could get around it by manually inserting pictures (tediously) using the inspector, but there's no option for that using the Interactive Image widget. i've restarted the computer, hasn't made any difference, any help would be appreciated, thanks

yes, it goes onto the page, but it won't go inside the widgets. i've also tried deleting and re-installing ibooks author and it hasn't resolved the issue
