Rotating while reading IBooks done in IBooks Author?

I came across this book in the Itunes store, it is an example of what a client wants for a book made in I Books Author. I noticed that it has a "Rotate Your IPad To Keep Reading" feature. I have never come across this in IBA, just in case you do not know what I mean the free book is here

That's not a 'feature'.
It's an single page in Portrait with instructions to rotate to use the book. I think it's clumsy and unnecessary, since a book can be made to only be used in landscape.
See the book 'The Toad Sleeps Over' for an example of how this works when done the right way.

  • Is energy saved if in airplane mode while reading iBooks?

    Is energy saved in airplane mode while reading iBook?

    Your iPad's wifi circuity (and cellular circuitry, if it has any) draw some power whether you're connected to a network or not and whether you're actively transferring data or not. Swithcing to Airplane Mode will save a bit of power in situations where you do not need a network connection.

  • While in iBooks Author cursor locked

    I was editing in iBooks Author and cursor locked. Cannot open or close any app.

    This is not an iBooks Author problem -  its sounds  like an  MBP glitch, could be low memory, low battery,  lag between key clicks, cats walking by...  if you say its only happening in iBA, then you need to make tests to see what actions you are doing to invoke the  cursor  jump.
    I also suggest you check out the MBP support group found using the link above for Apple Support Communities.

  • I read about  outside publisher assistance that helps get the books correctly formatted for uploading - any info on this? I found it yesterday while searching iBooks Author information and have lost it! :) thanks

    Is this assistance, for a nominal fee, called aggregators?  I can't find this info anymore, and wonder if anyone else has heard of this.
    thanks,

  • How do I keep the text in the vertical mode while reading ibooks?

    How do I keep the text in iBooks in the vertical mode?

    Hello yramnelle,
    I also like to lock the screen when reading.
    You can lock the screen rotation with Control Center or maybe the side switch depending on your settings.
    Control Center - iPad User Guide
    Control Center
    Control Center gives you instant access to the camera, calculator, AirPlay, and other handy features. You can also adjust the brightness, lock the screen in portrait orientation, turn wireless services on or off, and turn on AirDrop. For more information about AirDrop, see AirDrop.
    Open Control Center.  Swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen (even the Lock screen).
    Screen Rotation Lock button:
    Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
    Use the Side Switch to silence audio alerts and notifications or to prevent iPad from switching between portrait and landscape orientation. (On iPad models without a side switch, use Control Center.)
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IBooks Author crashes every two minutes. What's going on?

    iBooks author crashes literally every few minutes, and the error message reads "iBooks author failed while using the iBooks Author plug-in. Click here to re-open".
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app itself. I'm running the latest release of Mavericks.

    iBooks Author was updated to 2.1.2 today... download and update to see if the bug fixes solve your problem, if not report back here please.

  • IBooks Author Page Size Question

    I would like to use iBooks Author to put together a book for print (instead of using InDesign which is not intuitive for photo placement). iBooks Author looks good and the templates seem to work very well, but I have found no way to specify total page size dimensions - specifically A4 (210 × 297 mm) in portrait orientation.
    Also the PDF export - which I should be able to use for printing - has strange lines around the overall graphics (indicating larger actual document size?), and has a big watermark at the bottom reading "iBooks Author," which wouldn't be good for printing.
    Can anyone give me instructions as to how I can:
    1) Specify page spread dimensions for the whole document (except for the cover which I will design separately)?
    2) Export to PDF in proper printing format without faulty document dimensions or watermarks?

    esagustin013,
    Indesign as well as Quark are still the mainstream layout tools fore creating Print collateral...as of the latest versions of InDesign and Quark...both are beginning to introduce ebook production.
    As for your last sentence, it is not true that both are beginning to introduce eBook production. Adobe InDesign has been doing that for a couple of years, along with PDF technology. Now it even gets much better and, it is true that it is getting more powerful. It is not recommended for novices to use these apps, so iBooks Author app is a very nice simpe app especially designed for iPad platform.
    I would highly suggest you search for a tutorial pertaining to how to place images into indesign and how to minipulate them with your text boxes. Far more power in these programs...completely tailored for Print.
    Again, last sentence, it is not true that it was completely tailored for Print production. Adobe InDesign app is a totally different app now than it was once developed for at the time when Adobe first released InDesign 1.0 some years ago. I can't believe how time flew from 1.0 to now CS5.5. However, you are correct it is very powerful professional layout app for print and even eBook production and even ePUB production and all. And even PDF files for web. Even it works just fine in iPad opening PDF files.
    I am intrigued by iBooks Author is capable of making more interactive iPad iBook textbooks.
    I am interested about what Adobe have to say about iBooks Author app.   I wonder if Apple eventually develop professional-grade layout app - more powerful than that of iBooks Author or iWorks app. I guess we'll wait and see. Probably not.

  • 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.

    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?"

  • Why don't KeyNote links work in iBooks Author

    Links that work in a Keynote presention on Mac, don't work once that presentation has been imported into an iBooks Author book. Have others had a similar problem?
    Thanks

    What resolution is the keynote file? I found that when ibooks author scales the keynote file to fit into the widget, the hyperlinks dont scale, or at least not at the same rate as the resto of the document. You may therefore find that the hyperlinks are there - just not in teh place you expect.

  • Can I rotate iBooks Author widgets?

    Hello,
    I wonder it is possible that I can rotate iBooks Author widgets? For an example, can I rotate Gallery widget?

    I don't think so, sorry. They're locked in place to support default navigation.
    What reason(s) do you have for wanting to rotate?

  • IBook author don´t recognice my IBook

    I cant import m4v movies transformed by Itunes from an imported .mov file from Keynote and IBook author don´t recognice my IBook but it is connected.
    Sorry for my english

    Verifica los aspectos básicos - confirman iBooks está ejecutando en el iPad y el iPadse conecta directamente al ordenador. No utilice un concentrador o ruta a través de un disco duro externo o un teclado, etc
    Si has hecho todo eso y todo está bien, reinicie el equipo y vuelva a intentarlo.

  • IBooks Author Scale and Rotate in preview

    I just started with iBooks Author. I made a simple book with several chapters and pages. When previewing the book in the iPad the pages zoom and rotate with a two finger gesture. Then snap bak to the default scale and rotation. Imagine trying to pinch to zoom, but having the page scale.
    How can make the pages use the standard zooming behavior with out rotating and hold the zoom without snapping back to the initial scle?

    Sorry about that. I haven't used that software before, but they appeared to fit the bill according to their descriptions.
    There is another program, Image Tricks, that is for Tiger and it will let you rotate images and save the changes.
