Podcasts in iBooks Author gives only soundtrack

Until two weeks ago I could see and listen the podcasts, I put in to my books, very well. Now the (text) iBooks for the iPad, I made, only the sound track of the podcast can be heard.
I did delete the ibooks app from my iPad as well from my Mac and downloaded the app again. Also I downloaded my book again to be sure that I have the right version that worked well before.
I even gave my iPad a hard-reset to factory settings and installed the software again and still... I only get the soundtrack of my podcast.
Does anybody experience the same issue and could someone solve it?
This is the text book
https://itunes.apple.com/nl/book/ajo-50-jaar/id543000806?mt=11
and at page nr 146, is where the podcast is.
Kind regards

The Gallery widget has to be filled with an image, that means the image is scaled to the point where it will completely fill the box and crop the excess in the other direction. Changing the shape of the box will allow more or less to be shown, but whatever it is must completely fill the box. So essentially you start as zoomed out as possible, any more and there would be blank parts showing which currently isn't allowed.
My biggest beef is that it has a minimum size of 279 x 279.

Adding Interaction in IBooks Author

The only way I'm aware of to do this is to add an interactive widget which I have done using Hype, Purple and Motion Composer. All of these apps give me the same result. The widget is placed on the page and when it is activated it opens to a larger area and then displays.
This does not solve my problem, if you loook at the interactive IBook Yellow Submarine you will see EXACTLY what I mean.
Any help here as I have a client that wants an Interactive I Author Book and I need to know how I can accomplish this.
RD

If you notice, the book Yellow Submarine works on both iPhone/touch and iPad....this means it was not done using iBooks Author, which only targets iPad.
Pages from Apple along with calibre, as an example, will create an industry standard version e-pub file. iBooks Authore creates a hybrid e-pub that Apple has created.

Are there any apps like ibooks author for ipad or pc?

I know that ibooks author is only for mac but there must be some app like that for ipad or pc could anyone tell me please

Nope, there is not.

Can you download ibooks author for ipad?

ibooks author for ipad

No, iBooks Author is only available through the Mac App Store on Macs with OS 10.6 or later. It will not run on iOS Devices.
But you can create the Text in Pages for iOS and copy it on your Mac in iBooks Author.

Long tables in iBook author

Hi there,
I try to insert the table that runs across 20 pages in he Word document. iBook author shows only the table on the first page. I can't access and flow the rest of the table. What am I doing wrong? Retyping of this table in IBA is not the option. Please advise.
Many thanks,
JaSok

Retyping may be the best option...seriously.
Inserting any WORD sourced content into an iBA file is an imprecise effort...at best. I'd hazard to say that if you are doing anything wrong, it lies in expecting a painless move from WORD to iBA
You can try to rework on the source side to better improve the results/reduce rework on the target side (this is meant to be a crafted recipe, where the time spent in trial/error is hoped to be less than the rework - means if you have tons of tables to be brought over, and once you get it right, the ROI is all worth it), or you can put all your effort into the target side rework, never looking back, or you can punt.
Punting would include, but not be limited to, good old global clipboard translation between apps with a simple select/copy/paste.
Good luck in any case.

Does iBooks Author work on Macbook pro?

Does the iBook Author applications only work on Mac's and not Macbook pro's? I suspect this is correct, but am hopful that maybe I missed something somewhere.
Thanks.

iBA runs on anything that can run 10.7.3.

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author?

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

Ibooks author on macbook pro? or only iBook 2

Can anyone explain?

If you want to create eBooks on iPad only, there is Apples "Pages" that be installed on iPads and also, there are a number of apps in the store for making ebooks on iPad. I use "Book Creator" from Red Jumper which has a free trial version.
However, if you want the books on Apples store... you need a Mac computer or use a third party who can do this for you.

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.

Yes. Put it on your own server, and/or send it out via email.

'downside'....really?
Well, yes, in the sense that simplicity has a price: it comes at the cost of reduced functionality. (If all the functionality were still there, things wouldn't be as simple; it's an inevitable trade-off.) It looks like IBA was designed with the iWeb philosophy: make simple things really simple, and leave out the stuff that's too complex to control for non-experts. The upside of course is that non-experts can use the tool really easily.

No pain - no gain. You didn't come up with the content for your books without putting in fair time
Sure. But almost all that effort went towards creation of the content, not towards laying it out with IBA (which was remarkably easy). So, in that sense, IBA more than met my expectations. The things it does do, it by and large does really well, and without much expertise needed on my part. The only thing that was complex was the HTML widget, which took some programming. But that's entirely my own fault, not IBA's

If I install my ebook (created with ibooks author) into an ipad, it can be distribut to other iPads or it will available to read only at this specific iPad?

I wrote my ebook (using ibooks author) and now I intending to install it into an ipad and turn it readable only at that machine.
So, what can I do to restrict distribution and avoid it can be readable into other ipads?
Thanks for helping...

A user with your ibook (not from the store) can share that book via email, as an example, thumb drive, server, etc., without restriction.
The only way to prohibit restribution in that example is to not put it out there.
