New version of iBooks Author

Does anybody know what bugs the new version fixed?

Nope, not yet.
The info for the new download is a bit flippant, I think.
Apple prompts developers to never just say 'improved and bug fixes' when updating their apps, but it seems like this update was not worth the time of whomever is in charge of the product.
On top of that, while they seem to encourage feedback from iBA users this looks like that is just lip service. Hate to say it, but this makes it look like iBA might not be important enough going forward. Pages is getting all the attention...

The book "" was not copied to the iPad because it requires a newer version of ibooks

Hi - i've been working on a textbook in iboos author for a week and have been using preview as well as the "file / Export" function to copy the book to my ipad 3. Now all of a sudden, I am getting this strange "..requires a newer version of ibooks" error. I have not done any updates to either ibooks author or ibooks on my ipad. The book also won't copy to my older ipads which also worked fine before. I've reinstalled ibooks and ibooks author on all devices, but am still gettting this error. Even when i go and create a new book from scratch using the template picker and just save a fresh new file, I am getting the same error.
Has anyone had this problem as well ?
Thanks for any suggestions
Marc

thye chean - i've already uninstalled and reisntalled ibooks author version 1.1 (190) and I am still getting the same error message.

Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook?

Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook? Is this possible?

The main thing is...you have a way to move forward with your project.
If I may offer some tips, learn to customise the template to suit your project...its basically very easy..once you try.Again a search will bring up posts that address this topic.
IF you do create your own template..save it as a template before using it, that way you have a clean version every time.
When putting your book together save versions as you go along..later you can delete them.
If, as .. you seem to have found, you need to change things or want to try other options, you can copy whole chapters or sections and paste in a new order or into another version of your template. If you copy into a different template or book, the template basic also transfer to the template. Best way to discover what can be done is simply open a new book to play with! Add a few chapters and sections...include some pages..and just drag things around, copy and paste where you choose. Its just learning and after you delete the junk!..BTW, yes, you can have single pages before the first chapter...i.e. I open a copyright page into a chapter...that drag it to the top of the book tree, a blue line will appear ..drop it.
If you need any help or advice, its available in abundance on this forum. Have fun...

Can I download an older version of iBooks Author for OSX 10.7 (Lion)?

I had to recently format my mac (2009 Mac Pro) but because of the hardware I can't upgrade to the latest OSX and am stuck with 10.7. Is there a way / link to download a version of iBooks Author that will be compatible with 10.7?

Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
Your iPod stopped working, did it?
and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author

Is it wise to use ready PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author?
I have a music book with lot's of images that whas previously published as a physical book. I have it all as ready PDF files with illustrations.
Should I copy paste all texts and images seperately into iBooks Author or could I just drag the complete PDF's into the iBooks program.
Thanks!

To drag a page's contents means selecting just that page, which is just copy/paste with the result being an image.
Dragging a PDF into an iBA book means dragging the entire file, which is not the same as selective copy/paste and as noted, results in just an image.
It is possible to just do text /andor just do images, but success can depend on certain attributes they possess, etc. You need to select specific assets, then paste them in, then rework as needed.
PDF-to-iBA isn't neat - formatting, fonts, etc. will be lost. Find the original content that the PDF came from and try to work with it, instead - that will be much cleaner and require less rework, I think.

The new version of iBooks will not open on my iPad(3gen) after it was installed. Reinstalling makes no difference. It opens then closes right away. Any fix??

Anybody else have this problem?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

How Do I Create a New Template for iBooks Author?

Apple's provided templates are way too narrow for some of the ideas I want to implement. I do not see any real method for creating a template from scratch. I stripped one of the available templates down to nothing and rebuilt some of the pages and then selected Save As Template... but iBooks Author keeps the original template as the content instead of allowing me to use my own created Chapter, Section, and Pages with the Add Pages.. Button.
How to you create a new template from scratch? I think it is absurd if you can only create a new template from one of the 6 predefined templates.

Be careful on unlocking and deleting stuff, cause this very easily can destroy the layout and your current arrangement

How do I move a page to a new location within iBooks Author?

I've just started to play around with iBook Author, and I can't seem to discover how I can do something as basic as move a page to a new location within the chapter, or outside the chapter for that matter. It won't allow me to drag and drop it, and there is no menu selection for it. I also would like to be able to insert a new page at the current cursor location, and that doesn't work either.
Has anyone had any luck doing either of these tasks?

You can't. You can move entire chapters or sections but can't move individual pages because of the reflow capability. It is mentioned in the help and the FAQ I believe.

New version of iBooks not compatible with iOs 4.2.1

I wanted to install iBooks on my iPhone 3. The new version, released sep 19th 2012 requires iOs 4.3 which is not compatible with the iPhone 3g. Have I any solution to install a previous version of iBooks?

Nice! This is what we call forced marketing ... I am forced to buy a new iPhone to use an old basic application ... Any idea on which free app I can use to read PDF docs and which is iOs 4.2.1 compatible? Thanks for your help.

New book on iBooks Author now in store

Maria Langer's long awaited second book on iBooks Author is now in the store. It was created using iBooks Author and includes 3 hours of screencast video instruction.

The book needs to have page turning features, links between pages, complex sub-sections and an icon on the home screen.
I do this quite easily!!!! BUT not using Apple software.
Is your client looking for a sales tool on iPads or a brochure/catalogue for customers to use on their computers?
I create .exe file with and without flip page and doing what you want.. only for PC / Windows.
These are usless on Macs unless the user is prepared to buy an app to use .exe files.
You do not mention if your client is on PC or Macs and the other issue is.. whatever they use... their sales contacts will (collectively) be using both OS and you need to cater for that.
I use two PC applications depending on what is wanted by the client. ( one is flip page 'tother is not)
My client will use a mix of Keynote presentations and product video wrapped in iBooks on iPads as a sales tool.
They have their products in a downloadable.exe format and also PDF- which is not interactive.
Although I am looking for an app that can do it better.
Fact is, there are applications that do what you and I want but none work on both OS - at least that I can find.
Take into consideration sales persons "on the road" are using laptops and iPads for presentations and more are adopting iPads.

TS1702 WHY EVERYTIME APPLE PUTS OUT A NEW VERSION OF IBOOKS DOES IT CRASH HAPPENED LAST TIME AND NOW WITH V6 i HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THE TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE LIKE SIX TIMES AND IT STILL WONT LOAD MY BLOODY BOOKS

Why does ibooks crash everytime there is an update? I am so sick to death of having to stuff around and do all the trouble shooting rubbish to try and get ibooks working again, everytime there is an up date. I have wiped restored re synced changed usb leads turned my computer off unplugged and replugged every bloody thing about a dozen times and still after a week, instead of reading my books I have a very expensive paperweight. What is the problem and why does this keep happening with every new update. I am so frustrated and annoyed that I can't just read my book, it is why I bought the **** thing. Anybody got any other ideas before I go insane?

Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored: no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
xp 2500 barton 333
creative sound 5.1gamers.
512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
boadband either onboard.
MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
Setting are:
163 fsb
mult of 11
ddr 333
video memory clock down to 450mhz
3d clock to 390mhz
The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true.
