Publishing my first book in ibooks store

I am facing some struggle in publishing my first paid book in ibooks store, I have applied for an iTunes connect account, filled out the form perfectly fine but haven't, however, heard anything from Apple yet. What I know is that after filling out the application online on iTunes connect, Apple is supposed to send you a contract, after signing/or agreeing which you can go ahead and publish your content. How long would Apple normally take to accept your application, and how can view the status of my application because everytime I try to sign in to iTunes connect I get this message: "Your apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes connect" and when I try to create a new iBooks account thinking maybe my application was not successfuly submitted I get: "The iTunes Store account entered has already applied to distribute content on iBooks."
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Did you apply to distribute free or paid books? How long has the wait been so far? Did you create a new/unique ID just for books?
The wait varies and used to be one week or less - longer if you are outside the US, I think.
We just came off a holiday, so mabye they're working a backlog on the backend. Based on the msgs. above, it seems you're in the queue.

  • Publishing Book on iBook Store - How Long To Wait?

    Does any good soul know how long it usually takes to a book to get published on iBook Store after it gets delivered via iTunes Producer App? I uploaded a title about 5 days back and I see that the status of my book is 'Pending'. I am quite curious if somebody has a good experience about the waiting time in his/her case. And this will be really helpful to estimate or have a speculation about nearby searchable status of the book on iBook Store after the date the book got delivered via iTunes Producer. Reply is highly appreciated.

    For me its always been 5 working days.
    Also make sure On the Rights and Pricing page that the Sales Start Date for the country in question is in the past and Cleared for Sale shows Yes.

  • I downloaded my first book on iBooks and says its downloaded but its not there

    I downloaded my first book on iBooks and it says its downloaded but its not in my library.

    Did you check on the device you downloaded it on?  Did you actually purchase and download the book on your iPad?  If so, did you check in the iBooks app?  If you downloaded the book on iTunes, did you sync your iPad using iTunes and then check the iBooks app?
    You did purchase the iBook at the Apple iBook Store, right?

  • 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.

  • Do I have to have a Website URL to publish a paid book using ibooks author?

    Is it required to have a website url to publish a paid book using ibooks author?

    A "website" can be very easily created and at no cost.
    I suggest Facebook can cater for  "feedback"  and "product support" although  Wordpress and  other similar blog sites offer a free service which is suffiecient for the purpose and a free /default page template makes it fairly easy  for anybody without knowledge of HTML or CSS - to create a page and  learn to add in much more.
    The URL, if you did not know is the address line ie    http://www.apple.com/

  • Purchased two books from IBooks store, no pictures.

    I purchased two books from IBooks store (both $12.99). "A Company of Heroes" is one. The books are excellent but do not contain any pictures that the hardcover editions have in my local bookstore. I could have bought the print versions for around $15.00, now I feel it was a waste of $$. I checked all the settings and the addendum has a list of all photos in the book but no way to access them, if they are even there. Any thoughts

    It's apparently quite difficult in the current ePub specification to do layouts that combine images and text. The Winnie-the-Pooh book is frequently held up as a very hand-crafted example not easy to duplicate. Supposedly the publishers and other concerned parties are working on updating the specification to address some of ePub's shortcomings, but what might come of that and when is difficult to estimate.

  • How do I remove my book from iBook store

    I have a time sensitive book in the iBook store and would like to remove it. How do I remove it so that nobody can continue to download it?

    Ever heard  of.. "Dont Shoot The Messenger".....
    A questions was asked - the asnwer was given.
    IF you were not happy with the answer and considered that unlike other you could not understand it... you could have - politely- asked for a clarification.
    Also..  you can contact iBooks support very easily. 
    My Question is
    who is allowing the fictitious answers that mean nothing but a waste of time
    Fictitious - ie not true?  What really wastes time is asking questions without looking on the  forum for  previous posts on the same subject.  Another waste of time is attacking the very  folk who try to help you.
    Nobody allows anything on this forum, it all done voluntarily by dedicated folk who give up their time to help others. KT is perhaps the most knowledgeable on this forum - but without FULL information he cannot be expected to know what's in your mind.
    Your  book and everybody who submits it to the review team for inclusion in the store and is accepted - can NEVER be removed by its author. Apple require its history  for accounting and inventory purposes.
    Any author can withdraw a book from the store wether its free or paid account by using  iTunes connect and navigate to the Rights and territories page and de-selecting either individual countries or all.
    Apple then remove it from public access.
    If you want to know  how to remove anything from your personal purchasing... assuming you mean books downloaded to your iPad... simply delete it and also delete it from your iTunes account. If thats not enough information - then  you  need to find a different forum that one dealing with  iBooks Author related issues.

  • Free Books from iBooks store

    Does anyone know how to search for free books other than searching for "free" which brings up a lot of books that aren't free along with the free ones. It has been well over a month since I have checked, but if I remember right there used to be a "free" link down at the bottom of the iBooks Store in the Quick Links category. Where did it go?

    Yep. If you go to "browse" you can click on the top right where it says "Free books"
    Or, in Chart, if you page through the paid books, you get to a list of the top selling free ones.
    Here are two free novels to get you started.

  • How to list English-only books in iBooks store?

    In the ibooks store, does anyone know if a setting exists that would filter out all foreign language titles? For example, if I search for an author, when their bibliography appears, a lot of foreign language titles are included that I am not interested in. Is there any way to set the iBooks store to return English only titles?

    Read the FAQ.  Yes you do need a tax id.

  • Cannot download book from ibooks store on iphone

    I appear to be having a problem downloading any book within ibooks on my iphone 3g running ios4.
    In one case, I have already purchased the book from my ipad and trying to redownload the book on my iphone I continue to get an message
    "Sign in required, tap continue to sign in to continue synching your bookmarks with other devices"
    I enter my credentials but the popup continues to appear over and over again at which point I instead hit cancel.
    The book now appears to have fully downloaded but it stays 'stuck' with the progress bar filled but I do not have the ability to open the book and the progress indicator continues to spin.
    This happens for both 'paid' books and 'free' books.
    I tried to download the book again this time with the 'sync bookmarks' feature disabled within system preferences and the same problem happens. The book downloads with a full progress bar, but it never saves.
    I tried:
    - disabled sync feature
    - rebooting phone
    - deleting and re-installing iBooks
    Thoughts? Thanks!

    Dears, the case is sorted now, and I am sharing the YouTube link which helped me to sort this issue, to help others.

    it was simple due to not setting the date and time automatically in : Settings-General-Date and Time, then set automatically.
