No pictures in iBook?

I'm using iBook with my MacBook Pro and I' reading Rocks by Joe Perry. Most of the pictures won't load. How come?

Pictures in iBook are partial/missing not displaying correctly

I downloaded new iBook called "Foundation" and the pictures are incomplete/partial/missing. Tried deleting the book and re-downloading and still same problem. Some pictures are complete, some partial and some just have a question mark inside a blue box (where the picture is supposed to be i am guessing). There are also pages that have a large pink box that says ... "This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: Ending error. Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error." I could live without the pictures but this is an exercise book and the pictures are very important! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Christopher. After I posted my original question, I did come to realize that it was Helvetica not Future PT showing. Here’s what happened, and here’s why I still need some guidance…
The document dropped Future PT because when my wifi signal dropped, the Creative Cloud app displayed this error symbol (see graphic) in my menu bar.
At that point, my computer could no longer access my TypeKit fonts and the document reverted to the system's Helvetica default.
This was not an isolated incident.
If I turn wifi off manually, there is no issue and CC continues to operate in the background as it should, with TypeKit fonts still available.
However, if the wifi drops out on its own, I get the above error symbol and I then lose access to my TypeKit fonts. Very rarely, the CC app will self-correct when the signal is restored. More often than not, I must quit the CC app and relaunch it in order to get things back to normal.
This doesn’t strike me as normal behavior Have you ever encountered anything like it? Do you know of a fix that will allow the CC app to self-correct when the wifi signal is restored?
Any assistance will be appreciated!
Thanks!
P.S. TypeKit troubleshooting doesn’t address this particular issue.

Is it possible to animate a picture in ibooks author?

Is there any way to animate a photo or drawing in ibooks author. For example: have a person's eyes blink.

An html widget (created with adobe edge or other means) would take up the whole screen when the user taps on the widget. Probably not the localaized effect you're looking for. Another way could be to use a keynote presentation with an animation that starts when the user taps on it. None of these solutions are ideal. If your book has a lot of these types of effect, you're better off developing an app or using another tool than IBA.

Is there a file size limit of each pic /or total of all pictures for iBook

I am putting together an iPhoto book using pages of several pictures each I have composed in Photoshop. I then import these pages as a jpeg or psd to iPhoto. I am finding the jpegs often do not import (with message explaining, etc) but that the psd documents do import. These are rather large documents because of the several pictures used on each page. I am planning to do 30 double sided full bleed pages and I am concerned the finished book will be refused because the completed book file is to large. Should I be? Another way to put this could be: is there a size limit of each page or the total size of the book that iPhoto will accept for an individual book?

Your best bet would be to make duplicate of your iPhoto Library folder and then open the duplicate and delete all the photos that do not belong to the book. Keep the book in the Source pane however. If you think some photos might be added later then keep them also.
Now the iPhoto Library folder will be small enough to burn to disk (just drag the folder onto a mounted, blank disk and burn via the Finder). That folder can then be copied from the CD to the desktop of the other computer and opened with iPhoto to continue with the fine tuning. I'd rename the library folder to something like "Book Library" before burning to disk. This method is also a great way of preserving the book after you've ordered it in case you want to order a second copy at a later date. I create a special library for all my books for that exact reason. Once ordered and burned, I can reorder the same book later on even if I have a catastrophic drive crash in the meantime.

Connecting iBook to television - scan rates

This may well be a stupid question, but it's late at night and my brain is already asleep!
I want to connect my iBook G4 to a television to display some multimedia presentations, so I've bought the Apple Video Adapter. I also intend to get an s-video cable to connect the adapter to the television.
When checking around on the Apple Support pages, I found some information about supported display resolutions for PAL, and all were quoted as 50Hz. My television has a 100Hz scan rate, so what effect (if any) will this have on the picture my iBook can display?
Thanks.

Okay, this is not an issue.

Why isn't there arabic books in iBooks store ??

i have just 1 Q : why i do not find any arabic books in iBooks store to download ??? can anyone answer me and tell me how can i make suggestions to Apple ??
waiting ..

Hi guys,
I made a search and I found some Arabic books on iBooks. You can search: ويكيليكس or by the publisher's name: OWNI and you'll find the book I'm talking about.
In the beginning I thought the text is posted as pictures -since iBooks doesn't support Arabic- but it's all written as a text that you can select and highlight with all the features that English books have -except the dictionary-.
Does iBooks support Arabic? I don't know, but apparently, you can publish in Arabic
Thanks,
Abdullah.

Animation in Indesign CS6 export as a HTML for widget in iBA?

Hi together,
For me it`s the first question. I would like to animate pictures in iBooks Author. So I know about the tool hype. But I would like to use Indesign CS6 to create Animation files. I create a simple animation in CS6, export as a swf-file. Now I receive example.swf and example.html. Create a new folder with Default.png, Info.plist and example.html. The .swf file is in a folder named SWF. Next I create the folder a .wdgt. Import in iBooks I read the main html-file is missing.
Is my way possible: CS6 animation as a widget in iBooks Author? Or is it better to use other tools in the world of Apple like hype for example?
Thanke and best regards
Boris

I'm quoting another post by Gadgetgurl42 here on a similar question...
"iOS doesn't support swf as this is the exported verison of a Flash file. Putting the swf file into a widget won't change that fact.
As sb0117 mentions, your best bet is to look at HTML5 animation."
I wouldn't use Hype to create your assets as it's really quite limited in that respect, but create the assets in Photoshop and import into HYPE to create animation.
I'd also do a couple of test files to check how the resulting animations look, full-screen on the iPad.
Alternatively, if you're more familiar with Pages, etc, you could use Keynote as the learning curve might be easier.

ERROR ITMS-9000: "META-INF/container.xml must contain one and only one root file reference."

Hi all,
After correcting a table-of-contents error in my .epub file, I am unable to upload it via iTunes Producer. It lists this error message:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "META-INF/container.xml in 9780615431727.epub must contain one and only one root file reference." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
The file has been verified and only has one root file reference in the container.xml file.
Has anyone been able to find a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Hello Forum Users…
For those of you who have run into the upload roadblock, getting an error message similar to this:
Package Summary:
1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
          /Users/slm/Desktop/MUSIC to PICTURE for IBOOK/2012 MTP for iTUNES Bookstore/9780615600918.itmsp - Error Messages:
                    Apple's web service operation was not successful
                    Unable to authenticate the package: 9780615600918.itmsp
                    ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): 'p50': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OPS/content9.xhtml'" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
Following is a "specific" fix, but the idea of the fix will help you with your specifics too.
I tried for 17 days to upload a book that looked and worked perfectly in iPAD via Preview.
After many discussions with Apple, who to their credit stayed with me over 2-3 days, I decided to play a hunch.
I went into a duplicated copy of the book and on every page, (because the error message was not telling the whole story), looked for what InDesign would call "Overset Text."
Now... the "flaw" in iBOOK Author (hint) is that it won't advise you of this "overset text" as does InDesign.
And to compound the matter, the exported ePUB document WORKS in iPAD Preview.
See Screenshots from InDesign:
Okay... Couldn't add it but it is a Warning Box that says there is overset text. (Characters which exceed the text box.)
Nevertheless, I played this hunch, and sure enough found a few boxes with the + in them. In other words I clicked on EVERY text holder and every text block in the entire document.
Where I found + signs, I simply deleted some carriage returns from the iBOOK file... (please note… carriage returns and literally empty spaces that caused the overset text) and then erased all previous copies of the Music to Picture Book on my hard drive, iTUNES and iPAD.
The result? A "text-book" upload with no snags! As my Son would say… "Victory!"
So, first make sure that you are using only PNGs, Jpegs and Movie files to iBook Specs. Then... make sure there are no overset text boxes, which you must do manually.
Enjoy & Godspeed!

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as before.

I am trying to upload my PDF file from my iBooks but its only giving me the option to upload from my pictures/gallery. How do I get it so I can upload from my iBooks or move my PDF files to my gallery so I can upload it?

I'm having the same issue. I saved a PDF from an email into iBooks. I'm on apple applying for a job but the only option the upload button has is from the Photos file. How ironic right? Luckily I'm in Logistics and not an IT specialist applying for this job! Lol. Does anyone know the fix?

Improving Ibook to TV picture quality?

Hi.
I have tried hooking my ibook G4 with my TV (32" CRT) as an external display using the video adapter and a composite video cable.
Its really only good for viewing pics and video. Web pages and print are unreadable. Is there any way of improving the quality? Is it because of the lack of digital connection or the non-LCD/plasma TV I am using?
Thanks!

If anybody is still following this thread I still haven't quite given up yet! I thought I would just try dragging ten photos out of iPhoto on to the desktop. I then inserted a CD and dragged the ten photo icons directly into the CD icon. Lo and behold when I played this CD, via my DVD player, to my standard definition widescreen TV the picture quality is excellent. It at least has proved to me that it is possible to get good quality TV results from a DVD. The big drawback is that each image takes 3-4secs to scroll down the TV screen which is not acceptable. I presume this is because the method I used has loaded the original full resolution image to the DVD. I thought I would then try 'exporting' the same 10 images to the desktop using the JPEG/MEDIUM/MEDIUM settings and dragging the photo icons to the CD icon exactly as before. When displayed on the TV the picture quality is very poor but of course composes much quicker.
My tiny compact camera can display these original images on TV perfectly adequately and composes the next photo instantaneously. Amazing! I now conclude (probably completely incorrectly) that to obtain a good quality image via DVD to TV the original full resolution image must be used even though the TV itself doesn't need this. Presumably the image data is corrupted if the iMac is used to reduce the resolution. Is there no simple answer to displaying good quality pictures on a TV screen?

IBooks two page spread for children's picture ebooks

Hi,
I am creating a children's ebook for iBooks and I'd like to get the following result (taken from Peppa Pig: Tiny Creatures, published on iTunes for iBooks):
The final picture ebook should have a gutter/seam in the center, 2 page spread and pages that stack when flipped.
I saw in this post that iBooks Author can't do that and we should use use Pages instead, exporting the book as an ePub to iTunes.
But how can I do this in practice with Pages? I see that Pages doesn't export the file to ePub if certain layout features are enabled and that we should follow a strict procedure to create an ePub with Pages, as described in the "ePub Best Practices".
Now, if I follow the ePub Best Practices template, I come out with a pretty dull design, good only for novels or similar.
In particular, how can I spread a picture across two pages in Pages and get that rendered by iBooks?
For example, if I want a picture to spread across 2 pages (as shown in the picture above), do I need to place the image in a "single" landscape page in Pages, and that will be spread across 2 pages when viewed in iBooks? Or should I choose a spread layout in Pages and that will be correctly picked up by iBooks, which will also add the seam effect in the middle of the book?
Thanks.

This isn't something you need to pull a lever to do in Pages. It is part of the default navigation in iBooks when a standard epub is displayed.
As for that 'spread' image, I suspect it is actually two...left and right.
Suggest you move to the Pages forums for details...?
