So you want to design a book without pages?

Don’t even try it my friend. At the end of the book production process, when you connect to iTunes Producer, you will encounter a file parsing program, just call him EPUB Robot, or E-Bot, if you like.
E-Bot wants to see books with pages and more than one chapter, otherwise he’ll return a nasty error message. And don’t even try to create your own sample book. That will not work either.
Don’t try to get creative with E-Bot, because he’ll break your iPad over his knee.
You might want to protest: “E-Bot, wait, we are publishing a poetry collection, or a series of watercolor reproductions, and all we need are sections or maybe blank pages (a reasonable request).”
E-Bot will frown on such novelties. “Where’s yur’ darn chapter?” he’ll spit out.
How about a book of calligrammes, E-Bot, or haïkus? Something without the gimmicky chapter pictures. Is that allowed? Just a nice book made up for 45 sections in a row, or 30 pages —clean, minimalistic, easy to use.
E-Bot: “That won’t fly either. I can’t make heads or tails of your book, but I want to see them chapters, or else!”
In conclusion, you might not need chapters in your book, because all books are different. But just be aware that E-Bot is waiting at the entrance of the iBooks Store with a mallet in his hand, waiting to parse through the books that he’s been programmed to parse through. He needs structure, and you need to give to him or he’ll break down.
And don’t try to get smart and upload your own creative sample book (made up of pages or sections). That will end under E-Bot’s iron fist.
Don’t try to be a poet, and don’t try to think out of the box, not until the next IBA update at least. Stuff your book with chapters, pictures, etc., and make the Bot happy.
Hope this helps someone trying to get creative with the file parser.

How to disable "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?"

copying from NFTS to Fat32 I get a prompt
"Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?"
the answer (for me) is always yes
is there a way to disable the prompt ?

This may be caused by the presence of NTFS Alternate Data Stream which cannot be copied to FAT32.
Either format destination as NTFS or use utility like
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_data_streams.html
to scan/delete the ADS before copy. From the link above, below are some examples of when an ADS might be created
1. Favorites of Internet Explorer: When You add a Web site link into your 'Favorites', a .url file containing the url and description is created. However, if the Web site also have an icon (favicon), the icon is saved as alternate stream for the same url file.
The stream name of the icon is :favicon:$DATA
2. Downloaded files of Internet Explorer: When you download and save a file with Internet Explorer, it automatically add a zone information for the saved file. This zone information is used for identifying the file as downloaded file from the Internet. The
stream name in this case is :Zone.Identifier:$DATA
3. Summary information of files: When you right-click on a file in Explorer and go to the 'Summary' tab, you can add summary information for the file, like title, subject, author, and so on. This summary information is also saved into alternate stream. The
stream name in this case is SummaryInformation:$DATA.
In addition to the legitimate usage of alternate streams, this technique may also be used by Viruses/Trojans/Spywares for saving data and hiding it from the user.
In the case of files downloaded from the internet you could also try the methods in the link below to remove the zone identifier

How do I stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."

You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?

There is a serious problem in the iBooks when loadin an Arabic book the page and the letters are very excellent but on turning the pages the pages will be different from the original book. It means that if you want to read the book the arrangement of

I have a problem with the application iBooks when I read an Arabic book the pages are misarranged in all the Arabic books. You can try it yourself just load an Arabic book and try to read it you will not find the pages the same like the original book you will have to turn many pages forward and back to get the true arrangement of the original book. This problem is not found in stanza or kobo inspite of the fact that the iBooks look is better

You will just have to use other apps for Arabic. You can ask Apple to fix this via

I think Apple's iBookstore does not yet really support Arabic books.

When I am using facebook, Every thing I click on I get a pop up message asking if I want to navagate away from this page.. yes or cancel. This is very annoying. How do I turn off this message?

Yes, this pop-up window in facebook is getting extremely annoying and most times after clicking on Ok, it will take me to a page totally opposite to where I wanted to go.
When I chat on the Scrabble Discussion Board I have to click Ok constantly with each post even though I am not navigating away from that page but merely replying to a post on the same original page.
It is not present on Chrome or IE 8, just on firefox, why?
Please remove, fix, or tell me how to disable this totally useless pop-up.

Everything you wanted to know about books... and then some.

Hi, all:
With all the questions and speculation about how books are printed, what color profile to use, etc. I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum. If you have any other questions, please reply to this email and we will help you further.
Hope this will answer some of your questions more clearly.

Thanks, Toad. That was very informative. I don't really know anything about McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock, but I seem to have a small problem with it (or maybe the gloss/varnish on top, if there is any). I imagine I'm not the only one. My hardcover photo books have always come out beautiful. At home in Southern California, I can leave them on the coffee table without a problem usually. However, if I travel to humid areas of the East Coast with a book, or if it rains for several days here, the book paper will start to develop a wavy, wide corrugation around the edges that is very obvious when the book is viewed in profile. This does not seem to completely go away when the humidity goes back down. Other, "store bought" books around the house don't seem to do this. Have you seem or heard of this before? Thanks.

How do I save the open tabs when I close Firefox 5? There should be a dialog box opens that asks if you want to do this. Without it I will stop using Firefox.

This was available in earlier versions and was a great feature. Please restore it or give us a workaround.

It seems that they decided to disable this feature by default for some reason. In your address bar, type in "about:config" and search for browser.showQuitWarning" in the filter, without quotes. Double-click this string to set it to "true." Firefox should then ask you if you would like to save and quit, or just quit, when exiting with multiple tabs opened.
Another option is to go to the "General" tab in your preferences and and under "Startup" -> "When Firefox starts," select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" from the drop-down list. This way, your opened tabs are always saved, and always restored.
Finally, you can achieve this functionality (and more) with the Session Manager add-on. Session Manager is nice because it allows you to save and restore multiple tab sessions. I also find that it's a more reliable fail-safe for saving your opened tabs when it comes to browser crashes.

Want to use address book like Pages on Numbers

I am a PC person turned Mac about a year ago. I will NEVER go back!.
Here is the issue, I love the way I can type one letter in Pages and highlight and drag my contacts from the address book to the application and it will automatically populate a new letter for each contact.
Now, I have build a form that I have to hand fill every single day. What I need to do is as such, Row 15 Column D = last name, Row 15 Column F = first name, Row 15 Column H = SS number, Row 18 Column D = town, Row 18 Column F = state.
If possible, I would like to highlight all 55 people, Drag, Drop and have 55 doc populate. (i can do one at a time and print to .pdf instead).
I searched and I am so new to this, I really don't know the terms I am looking for. I also used the help tab on the program and found some "address" formulas which didn't seem to work.
please dummy the answer down for me.
Sry about the edits, posting a photo.
Message was edited by: canosgmk1

maybe i am not too clear.
The merge would be the ideal, but I tried to do that today, and WOW, what a MESS! The table fits in Numbers but extends for 3 pages in Pages. I have shrink to fit option on.
I think using numbers may be the best.
I do not want ALL the address information in the form, I also don't want a visible header on it either.
At the end of the day, the jpeg file I attached where the person's name, ss number, town, state, miles is the only information I want to input.
I may have to go to a mac store so they can walk me though this. lol

When I use Firefox, if I want to move from one page to another, I get this: "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.", OK doesn't always take me to where I wanted to go.

Anytime I want to click on one page to move to another I get this question. Most of the time, it doesn't take me anywhere. I cleared everything. It didn't make a difference.

How do I stop the pop-up window in Facebook that asks "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page"

It recently started to ask this every time I do anything on Facebook.

Yes, this pop-up window in facebook is getting extremely annoying and most times after clicking on Ok, it will take me to a page totally opposite to where I wanted to go.
When I chat on the Scrabble Discussion Board I have to click Ok constantly with each post even though I am not navigating away from that page but merely replying to a post on the same original page.

Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? I get this popup every minute. it's driving me crazy. How do i stop this from happening?

This popup happens for no apparent reason. I'll just be reading an article or checking my e-mail and it pops up all the time

Use '''Tools -> Options -> Advanced | General | Accessibility ''' Uncheck [x] warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page
* see [[Options window - Advanced panel]]
If that works, perhaps you will mark the problem as solved, if not post back with what problems remain; I may have misunderstood the exact problem.

When I'm on Facebook and I click to Comment or accept a game gift, I get a pop up box that says, "Are you sure you want to navagate away from this page?" and it doesn't post my comment or accept the gift.

This happens most of the time. Sometimes if I catch the page before its completely loaded it won't do it, but this is getting very annoying. I uploaded some photos, it took me an hour to do so, and then it took me another 30 minutes just to get to post a caption to just one of them because of this issue. This only started about 3 weeks ago. I haven't done anything different. Any suggestions?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
