Trying to create my first book using Apple pre-dos .. is there a discussion about this?

I'm attempting to use the 'make a book' feature for the first time -- is there a discussion going on somewhere re: details of this application?
My first question is - can I save a book and complete it over time? (Oh, and it looks like I may have just answered that question myself, since I see that projects appear in the source list - I just can't seem to find a 'save' command anywhere .. guess I'll just try the hotkey and trust that either that works or that Apple does an autosave) ..
Then I'm wondering about margins -- any hope of bleeding a page off the margins?
And format - I'd love to make boardbooks (this first one can have paper pages) but don't see that option. However, there is a reference to a "small" book although I don't have that option on my 'create a book' screen ..
Thanks .. (hope I can find my way back here again ..)

iPhoto behaves like a database -all changes are immediate and will take effect automatically without saving.
So, you can quit iPhoto and continue to work on your book later.

What is your iPhoto version? The available book templates change d between the versions.

Hi kids, my first day using apple, anyway, is a Power Book 4.1 , bought from someone else,and i dont have the password for the key chain, and no chances of getting it, the screen, for the password keeps on coming up, any ideas?

my first day using apple, i love it, is a power 4.1, older, but is ok to learn it, however, i bought it from someone , and i was not
given the password for key chain, so, this screen keeps on coming up, and i dont know the password, so i keep on canceling out
of it, ..... any ideas on how to fix this problem, is the key chain, that you can access through utilities, but i dont have the old password, that is my first
problem
my second problem is that the key board, closer to the screen, is coming out, as it needs to be put in place, you would imagine you can
put it back in place, but, not sure i should mess with it, any input would be greatly appreciated it
thank you
lisa

Hi, Lisa. Now I see what you're desperate about.
Does it allow you to go ahead and use the iBook after you cancel the Keychain login? If so, it's not a big deal.
Are you able to go to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new account for yourself? That should eliminate Keychain password problems.
Check out these instructions on replacing the keyboard:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111917
Maybe they will help you get it seated better. It's considered a customer-installable part, so it should be easy enough for you to handle without worrying about goofing anything up.
What CDs (if any) came with the iBook?
Which version of the operating system is it running?
How big is the hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If it's the original hard drive, it's getting very old and could fail at any time. The identifier "PowerBook 4,1" tells me that the iBook is ten years old, and is either a 500 or 600 MHz PowerPC G3 (Dual USB) iBook. As such, you can't expect a whole lot from it.
The optical drive on this iBook could be a CD-ROM (reads CDs only), CD-RW (reads and writes CDs; no DVD capability), DVD (reads CDs and DVDs), or Combo (reads and writes CDs; reads DVDs) drive.
Good luck with it.

I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.

As made clear in the title:
I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
Is there any way to get around this?

I created my first movie using one long video (all photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original but retain the audio. Can I?

I created my first movie using one long video (a montage of photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original video, but retain the audio. Can I? And if so, how. I cant seem to
find the info anywhere in help.

I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."
Is there a way to get the Apple Configurator to try to re-download iOS 8?

Apple Support had me delete the image file from the following location:

The file name was iPad3,4_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw
I deleted this file and ran the prepare again and it download the iOS 8 ok and successfully prepared the iPad.

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

Im having trouble with error 13019 I have read the previous discussions about this matter and have tried to do them except for the fact that under the music tab when clicking on my ipod every thing is frozen. It s not my comp. and i dont wish to restore. Please help!

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

Just recently update my Apple TV and iTunes, every time now I turn on my Apple TV, I have to go to my computer and close and reopen Itunes several times before my Photos share to the Apple TV. Is there a fix for this??

Connect it to a computer running iTunes and restore it.

Pdf created from FrameMaker book using FDK is of bigger size

Hi,
I am new to FrameMaker, when trying to generate a pdf document from a FrameMaker book using FDK, the size of the pdf file created is big when compared to the pdf created using “Save As PDF” from FrameMaker. I have tried setting Named Destinations to false and also “PDF Job Options” to “Smallest File Size”.
Below is the code we use to create a pdf file using FDK
//Open the frame book to process document by document
bookId = OpenFile(strFile);
/* Get docId in order to set Acrobat Bookmark levels */
docId = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, FV_SessionId, FP_FirstOpenDoc);
F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId,bookId,FP_PDFBookmark,True);
F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId,bookId,FP_PDFJobOption,6);
/* Sets "Body" to the highest Acrobat Bookmark level. */
pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, StringT("Body"));
F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 1);
F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, name, False);
/* Sets the save parameters so as to save as PDF and allow user to name file.*/
params = F_ApiGetSaveDefaultParams();
i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&params, FS_FileType);
params.val[i].propVal.u.ival = FV_SaveFmtPdf;
i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&params, FP_PDFAllNamedDestinations);
params.val[i].propVal.u.ival = (IntT)False;
i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&params, FP_PDFJobOption);
params.val[i].propVal.u.sval = F_StrCopyString ((StringT)"Smallest File Size");
/* Saves the book and all its components to one PDF file */
int_SaveID = F_ApiSave(bookId, StringT(strTargetFile), &params, &returnParams);
/* Close the open files.*/
F_ApiDeallocatePropVals(&params);
F_ApiDeallocatePropVals(returnParams);
CloseFile(bookId);
Can anyone suggest a way to reduce the size of the pdf file
Thanks,
Neeraja

Are these duplicates side-by-side (e.g. A and then A again) or one after another (A, B, C... and then A, B, C...)?
If they're one set after another, FM picks up the list of paratags to include in the bookmarks list from the first file in the book, so if this doesn' contain everything, it might help to import the additional formats into that one. Then clear/remove the exisiting bookmarks and only add back the Titles and Heading1 bookmarks (check that the TOC ones remain in the Don't include list).

Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog." It says "Mounting

The one image that did work (LiteTouchPE_x64.wim) was from the OS I imported to Microsoft Workbench but the components are different to any that I have seen online when looking on how to do this.
I have made sure that the architecture is x64 and tried from ISO files I have on the system already but get the same error.
This is the first project I have been involved in and only ever done IT support before this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Problems creating my first book in iphoto

I'm just getting started with my first book - of my children's easter holiday. I'm having a few problems...
1. I have typed text onto the bottom of some pages but when I print or preview, you can't see the text.
2. Is there any way to alter the layout of the text - eg to centre it at the bottom of the page? I can only work out how to left and right align.
3. Every time I want to print out a page or to preview it, the whole book has to be assembled again - this takes ages! Am I doing something wrong.
4. I've read a couple of the other discussions and there are warnings about how you crop your photos and making them in the ration 4:3. Am I being naiive, but don't you get a book that looks like the thing you see in front of you? Doesn't lining up the photo in the 'frame' mean that the photo is cropped like that? (I'm using the large softcover crayon template)
I'd be very grateful for any tips from anyone with more experience as I don't have time to go through all the other messages (3 children under age 5 you see!)
Helen

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1 - Have you changed the font in the Setting pane for any of the text boxes? One possible reason you don't see the text is that you have more text in the box than it's designed to hold. Do you have any yellow triangles in the text boxes? What page layout are you using, one, two, three...?
2 - Right now there's no way to center text. If it's just one line you can add some spaces at the beginning to sort of center it.
3 - Unfortunately that's how iPhoto works. Do a Print to PDF and then you can preview the pdf file outside of iPhoto and print only those pages you want to check out.
4 - The reason for the suggested crop is that the frames on the pages are in that ratio. If your image is a different size ratio it will not fill the frame are completely or it will fill it in the smaller size and cut off some in the longer dimension if you try to snap it to the frame. Cropping beforehand just insures that you'll be able to get the entire image in the frame at the maximum size possible.

Trying to create my first book using Apple pre-dos .. is there a discussion about this?
