Time to get my hands dirty?

Hi all Digital Publishers
I have been working with InDesign (basic layout and typesetting) for print for a few years now (freelance, part-time)!
The stuff I have been doing is for school textbooks.
It is now obvious that iPads, Kindles, laptops etc. will become ever increasing tools for education. I am therefore attempting to get "my hands dirty" and train myself in the use of Digital Publishing Suite. I have seen a couple of videos, but nothing one could call a training manual. Where would you suggest I look to a) get started and b) get up to speed?
I have installed and updated Folio Builder in InDesign CS5 on a iMac 10.7.3. I have existing books in ID to convert, or should they be re-targeted to DPS?
Your advice would be appreciated
Lou

And hang out here. Read the posts...plenty of tips.
You should also consider now how you're going to handle CS6. If you move to 5.5 now you'll get CS6 for free and save money in the process since 5 to 6 is more expensive than 5.5 to 6.
Another choice would be Creative Cloud at just $30/month for the first year with all the single edition apps you can create.

It depends on how you are using your iPad. If you are streaming videos or music, or playing interactive games which require internet access a lot, you may not get a full 9 hours from your battery. In addition, have you closed unused apps? To do so, double tap your home button to bring up the Task Bar (most recently used apps). Hold your finger on any of the apps on the Task Bar until they all start to jiggle and you'll see a sign on the upper left corner of each app. Tough the to fully close them.
Finally, location services, push for mail and it's frequency can have a dramatic effect on battery usage. Turning them off, as well as not using your screen at 100% will help reduce battery usage.

Hard reset 30 times to get my Digitizer working would like to get answer

I bought Palm TX which worked very good for six days, once I had pulled the SD card out the palm froze so I did soft reset with no results. Then I did hard reset when it comes to digitiser screen it goes on and on endless in a loop. I tried hard reset 30 times to get my palm working properly. Can any one explain what the cause would be to avoid this happening next time. I am using the palm with the only one external software "Hand D Base v4.0" . No other software is loaded. Need help
Post relates to: Palm TX

If you hard reset the TX, according to the directions in the link I provided, It will erase all data and 3rd party programs. After the hard reset it sets the device back to factory defaults and would not have any 3rd party programs on the device, thus if it is looping immediately after the hard reset, there is another cause of the looping.
There may be some kind of debris on the screen between the screen and the case of the device. Take a business card or folded piece of paper, insert it between the edge of the screen and the case. Move it around the perimeter of the screen and see if you can get out any debris. If there is no debris, it is probably the digitizer on the screen and the device will need to be replaced.
The powerdigi program must be installed on the TX. If it won't get past the calibration screen, you will not be able to sync the program to the device.
If you just bought the TX, it is still under warranty for 1 year from date of purchase. You can call Palm handheld support at 813-313-4913 and setup a replacement or take it back to the store where you purchased the TX.

Can not get connected to my WIFI, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen, can not get connected to my WIFI, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen

can not get connected to my wifi, every time I get connected it take me to a blank screen

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen. I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result. Two days wasted!

I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
Hope this helps.

Hi, My I-phone taking too much time to get charge

Hi, My I-phone taking too much time to get charge... I am charging through computer. It does not show whether its charging or not. Morning it was 40% , till now it 60 % after that it never moved...I have switched off my mobile and charging but percentage has moved to only 60%... I am charging from morning 9:00...its 1:30 still 60%....Please help

If you have the original battery in your iPhone 3G, it may have reached the end of it's useful life. You can contact Apple about a replacement battery. It may also be that the USB port on your computer doesn't put out enough power. Try charging the phone from a wall outlet.

Disable your antivirus and firewall, and try again.

When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a message saying I need to restart my computer

When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a simple message that says I need to restart my computer. any suggestions?

The message to restart your computer, in multiple languages, is a kernel panic. This is usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory being the leading cause.
You might want to run the Apple hardware test, which is on the original gray-faced OS X disks that came with the mini. FInd the one that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label, insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. You can also download Rember from http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/ if you want to really test the memory. Set it up and let it run over night.
See this kernel panic FAQs for other ideas: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same eror message

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same error message. Says Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches but that is not happening. How do it fix this?

Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT

Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs?

Do I need to do a total reset on my 3gs so that it won't keep updating every time it gets near my 4gs? I've created a separate ID to use with the 3gs already.
Help...
Thanks!

It has nothing to do with "getting near: the other iPhone.
They are using the same AppleID for iCloud.
On the 3GS, Setttings > icCloud, delete the iCloud account and turn it on using the new AppleID.
Whatever I have changed on my 4S...notes, apps..etc.
Settings > iTunes & App stores.
Tap your ApleID, sign out then sign in with new AppleID.

So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
You are copying files from where to where?
How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
Any other detail would be helpful.

My home wireless is no longer recognized, even going through the set-up process. It does not connect to the car through Bluetooth seamlessly--I have to add my phone as a new device each time I get in the car. In attempting to solve these problems I have gone to settings-phone-upgrade and it states that the upgrade is available-select to continue-(which I do)- it checks -please wait and it then states that update not available - try later.

Maybe not too late to help you.
For specifically fixing the Bluetooth, un-pair your phone with the car, and go through the process of repairing the two.
In general, the KK update requires many of us (different phones) to perform a Factory Data Reset after we back up our personal content (pictures, music, movies, or other downloaded files) to a PC or MAC. This will result in you having to do a bit of work to setup icons for the programs you use, and maybe putting in the specifics again for email accounts and other specialized apps. So if you are going to do this sort of thing... copy important information/settings down on paper.
HTH.
