Terms to be agreed when creating a Paid Books Account and submitting an iBook to the iBookstore
Hi there everyone
I'm advising a client on the range of terms to be agreed when its creates an iBook using iBooks Author and then submits the iBook for publication on the iBookstore (using a Paid Books Account, not a Free Books Account).
From what I can glean from various sources, it seems the client needs to agree to:
the iBooks Author 2.0 License Agreement, when downloading the iBooks Author app from the AppStore;
the eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement (when creating a Paid Books Account through iTunes Connect); and
the iTunes Connect Terms of Service when downloading iTunes Producer (the separate app through which one publishes an iBook to the iBookStore).
There are two things I'm not sure about though. The reason for my lack of certainty is that I don't have a US Tax ID and so cannot replicate the Paid Books Account sign-up process to the stage where I'd have to agree to the various terms and conditions. My questions, please, are:
Am I correct in thinking that a person is required, when creating a Paid Books Account through iTunes Connect, to agree to the "eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement"?
If so, can anyone email me please ([email protected]) or provide a link to the latest version of the eBook Agency/Commissionaire Distribution Agreement? (I've seen a version online (http://outskirtspress.com/iBookStore_v3.pdf) but don't know whether it's the latest version; I'm thinking it's probably not).
When signing up for a Paid Books Account, is one also required to agree to the "PHG Terms and Conditions" and the "Publisher Program Terms and Conditions" that are attached to them, or is that optional?
Many thanks for any help. Much appreciated.
Kind regards
Richard
Any documents/agreements are obtained as part of a contract and not allowed to be distributed in an otherwise uncontrolled manner, which if done, could violate the agreement/contract.
You need to participate in the process to:
1. Access the latest, binding versions of all agreements/contracts
2. Possess a tax id/SSN to sign up.
If you have questions about the process, you should contact Apple directly.

I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.
See additional information below:
What device did you use to connect to the store? Mac computer
Which operating system is installed? Mac OS X v10.7.x
What version of iTunes is installed on your computer? iTunes 10.6
Choose the iTunes Store or App Store for your country: Other
Please select your country: AustraliaHi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

Creating a paid-book account from the UK?
Is it not possible for a UK writer to sell their work on iTunes, as a paid book?
Thanks,

Is there any way to open the paid book account without US Tax number?
No, except perhaps by using an aggregator. Nobody here can tell you why Apple has the requirements it does, but there seem to be lots of people who meet them one way or another, and there are always other stores whose products can also be read on iOS devices, such as Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, and Sony, if producing for the iBookstore is too complex. -
I want to create a paid book account but do not have a bank account in the US
I want to create a paid account but the information I am requested to submit is US bank and taxes.
I live in CanadaAs far as tax id is concerned, it doesn't matter what country you are in, you have to get one for a paid account. Follow the instructions in the FAQ:

Perhaps someone else knows details regarding bank accounts. -
When creating a photo book how do I know what size the cells are?
I'm having a hard time getting my photos to fit appropriately in the cells. Regardless of the size of the image I almost always get an exclamation point warning.
An "exclamation point warning" indicates that your print resolution (pixels per inch) may not be sufficient to print in the book at "best quality", it does not indicate "fit"..
Work with your full-size images. Do not resize your images by exporting. Do not crop- the same can be achieved in the Book module.You can zoom in on the book page image to effectively crop. You can make images "Fit" or "Fill" any size image cell. -

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

How can I transition from a free books account to a paid books account?
I created a free books account (based on my existing itunes ID) to post 2 books just to test out the process. Now that I feel like I know what I'm doing, I'd like to update a paid book, but can't figure out how to go about doing it. I created a second Itunes ID to create a paid book account, but then the SSN I used for that account was the same (obviously) as the one I used for the free account and that's where I ran up against a wall. What to do now?
Thanks!You will need to retain your free books account - its not 'transferable" in any way.
You will need to apply for for a Paid Books account, new "username" email address is required.
You will need to fulfil the requirements in the Contracts and Banking section of your "new account" - you can use the same bank and credit card details and you will to apply to the USA tax office for an EIN.
I used this.

Try to calculate your call to be 6.30pm East Coast US time - they work till 7pm so at 6.30pm.. it is usually a quiet time and should mean no waiting online for an agent.

On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas
There isn't a way - at least not that I have found. I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice. I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app. I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well. I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention. Apple needs to hear your voice.

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?
If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish. -
I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

Font color wont change when creating a proof book
I have never had any problems changing the font color when creating my proof books and all the sudden I can only get black text. Can anyone help I am in the middle of designing a baby book and
the design calls for pink and grey text not black.. If I am not mistaken I think I just did an update a week are so ago when the trouble began. Thanks WezzyThe photos is the book tray are sorted by date. So to get them in the order you want you need to do this;
1 - group them in an album and manually sort in the order you want.
2 - select all and go to the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
3 - select a 1 minute time differential between photos and click OK.
4- add the photos to a book and they will be in the order you need.
