Turning Pages, iBook Author

Hello
When I place my text in my book it comes out as one very long page.  Does anyone know how to make so the reader can flip through the pages rather than scroll through one very long chapter?
Thanks so much for your help!!

I have had success using blank pages in Author and just copying and pasting Pages and Word documents into the text placeholders. It makes new pages for you and I have been able to add images, widgets and other items inline after getting the text in place. A liitle practice and it becomes easier.
see below:
hope this helps

  • Page Turning Animation in IBooks Author

    I am able to make "industry standard EPUBs" with the new Text-to-EPUB service using Automator Workflow that have beautiful curling page turning animations that even include M4A/M4V audio and video: perfect for poetry books I am working on. But how can I turn these into IBooks using IBooks Author and ITunes Producer for sale on my Paid Books account in the ITunes store? It seems IBooks Author only allows sliding page transitions.

    Also, I wasn't reading ITunes Producer right. I can produce and upload the EPUBs directly to the store without going through IBA at all.
    Actually, you can't use iBA at all for standard epub generation...only .ibooks -
    Uploads are done via iTunes Producer.

  • The Page turning effect and widgets. Who else wants this as a widget? I can't get it in ibooks author.

    The page turning effect( or lack of). Having spent 6 months writing a children's story in ibooks author, I can't get this effect unless I export it as a pdf, and re export as an epub. I lose the interactive widgets, and the font format goes crazy, extra page numbers as well. I contacted apple support on 4th Nov, but was recommended to come here. I want the page turning effect, and want to keep the widgets. Surely there is a "widget" to plug in to this? Honestly, I despair...

    I don't think anybody has found a way to do what you want with iBA.  Join the rest in letting Apple know how much you want it via

  • How does one install page turning arrows in iBook author?

    How does one install page turning arrows in IBook Author?

    Hello Robert,
    I don't think such a feature exists within iBooks Author but it is a feature within ePub.
    So if you are viewing ePub books on an iPad the pages turn but if you are looking at books made with iBooks Author it is a page sliding.
    I will stand to be corrected here but I hope this helps some what.
    Regards,

  • How can I get the page to curl when turning to the next page in iBooks author?

    How can I get the page to curl when turning to the next page in iBooks author?

    I don't think you can. If you need that effect, you should use ePub (that can be authored via Pages) not iBA.
    I hope Apple give us the option in the future though.

  • How can I add page turn animation to my iBooks Author 2.2 file? Can I add html / a plugin?

    How can I add page turn animation to my iBooks Author 2.2 file? Can I add html / a plugin?

    I concur with Tom. That feature is not available with iBooks. If the page turning effect is important, you could consider developing a fixed layout Epub 3 instead.

  • When creating a book in iBooks Author, how do I get the book pages to flip instead of scroll?

    I'm interested in knowing if there's a way to get iBooks pages to flip instead of scroll when creating then in iBooks Author.  I think having the image of turning a page, instead of it just scrolling, is appealing to the reader, but I don't see how to do this in the iBooks Author program.  Any advice is welcome.  Thanks.

    It is a silly feature, but Apple would be remiss if they did not offer it.
    Go to the App Store someday and read the reviews of iBooks.There is an incredible amount of bellyaching because the new (iOS 7) graphics don't look as touchy-feely as the iOS 6 graphics. A lot of people want to feel like they are holding a piece of tree in their hands when they read eBooks. Doesn't compute for me, but as an author, I don't want Apple to kick these people in the shins, either.
    As for the processing hit...uhm...unless you happen to be rendering 3D animations at the time, it probably isn't going to ruin your chip's day.

  • Do the Templates and Themes for iBooks Author include the flip page animation?

    Well, this question is concern about something similar asked by romondodavis on 28-mar-2012  (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17981772#17981772) and also answered by K T.
    So my question refers to know if when buying the Templates and Themes for iBooks Author the curl/turn/flip animation is included with them or should I have to buy necessary Pages so I can generate those industry standard e-pubs as K T suggests in order to get the turn page animation enabled by default?
    Thanks in advance

  • Portrait page orientation - ibook author

    How can I make protrait (vertical) orientaton template in iBook Author? For my design I dont need landscape (horisontal) orientation at all.

    I am not sure if you are crerating a problem for yourself.  I was about to post my concerns which are... in a photo book I used a blank page to avoid teh text flow formatting. Therefore its a double page and I used images in landscape.This book and two  others have been returned for corrections. The Ticket  advises.."Missing Content in Portrait mode"... which is simply because there is none.
    BUT.. I have downloaded free books to find they are in landscape and Portrait mode is locked out.
    In the Document Inspector..is an option to disable portrait mode.
    I purchased  ( before finding iBA )  an app called "Book Creator"  its pretty basic compared to iBA.. but when I preview in iBooks.. it has flip pages and .. turned to portrait mode.. the  book shows in a compressed way to fit the page in. There  are no bells and whistles  as there are in iBA.. and this  little app does what  - apparently - iBA cannot do..and ends up causing a great delay in getting books accepted.

  • While reading PDF document using Speak Screen option, iBooks doesn't turn pages automatically

    I have been using the speak screen option in iOS 8 to read books and pdf documents in iBooks app. iBooks app turned pages automatically and kept on reading the screen till i updated my phone to iOS8.3. Now, the app stops reading the screen once the page is completed. I have to stop my vehicle, unlock phone, open iBooks app, swipe down with two fingers. It's irritating.
    Earlier, I have read dozens of books and pdf documents using this function while doing exercise or routine tasks. now it's not possible unless someone helps.
    Thanks for your support in advance.

    @Mukeshnnms
    Unfortunately, I am having precisely the same issue since updating to iOS 8.3 with my iPhone 5s.
    I just filled out a bug report here > https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, which I've often read on these forums is the best way to get some resolution. I don't know if you read the list of "fixes" for 8.3 or not (here: iOS 8.3), but, it includes the following:
    "Fixes an issue in Speak Screen where speech will not start again after pausing"
    So...apparently, in fixing THAT problem, they broke something else. At least for some of us...

  • In ibooks author how to make an existing page start a new section

    I have imported a Pages document into ibook authors (version 2.1.1 in OS 10.9.1) using the Classic Text Template. The original Pages document was basically a book, with title and table of contents and forward and several sections. Now everything is one huge unit. During the import I can choose a layout, but only a chapter or a section. Then all of the document is regarded as having that layout -- every page is regarded as having the section layout, for example, though only the first page has the smaller text area and the large text as a header. I can see all the layout possibilities in the Layouts sidebar, and they include section and forward and 1 column. When I hover the cursor over a particular page the book sidebar I see the little triangle that has been mentioned, and it offers options for changing layout,  but it does not allow me to make that page a new section or a forward. I can only make the page 2 column or put a sidebar on it. I cannot see how I can import the book and be able to create chapters and sections with ibooks author. I can insert a new section layout, or a new page, but I do not see how to  to change a page, after it is imported and is considered to be the text of a chapter or section, into the start of a new chapter or section.  I do not find anything in the inspector or on the menubar or in the help center that makes this change. The "add a chapter title" does not change the layout to make the text box smaller, as it should for a layout.   Is it actually possible to convert a Pages book into an ibook authors book, or must I create the blank chapters and sections in ibook authors and then cut and paste each section from Pages?

    The advice given for  iBA, is to preplan your book. Modify an exsiting template as your layout  suits you,  to present a quality book to your readers. 
    iBooks Author is really more "app"  than a book maker like inDesign or even Pages,  - and users should really  get to know how to use it before starting out on a serious project.
    The insert options are clear - you can insert a Chapter from MS Word or Pages  in iBA  a "chapter" is a distinct "standalone" part of a book which can include sections and pages as required. Sections can  be  moved up or down within their chapter or can be copied from one chapter to another. The pages in any chapter are static and the only way to change content location is copy and paste.
    From your post, its seems you decided to  create you book using Pages and in one chapter expecting iBA to reformat it.
    I would suggest a solution is to count your  chapters and  add that number into an iBA  new book, then  copy your Pages chapters.  I would guess that the whole process would  take less than 30 minutes.
    Apple recieves feedback and suggestions for improvements, however the last update made very few changes to  the application and none of  those seen in many posts - such as being able to move pages. This indicates that Apple at  least,  are satisfied that the version is functional enough for  how Apple see books being made for its store. 12 months ago this  forum was  taking  hundreds of posts  per day asking advice, its now a trickle- which I take to be in indicator that  as a group, iBA users have taught themselves how to use the application and its  many options and third party add on's. iBA is more suited to the interactive side of publications as Apple intended, creating a mainly text only "novel" seems to be considered by Apple as the easy part!

  • How do I change the size or orientation of the Title Page in iBook Author

    I'd like to customize the shape and size of the Title Page in my book, I noticed that many books have custome sized Title Pages (one example is the free iBook The Yellow Submarine).

    The 'Book Title' page in iBooks Author – top of the list in the Book sidebar – is fixed in size and orientation. What you are seeing with customized cover graphics are covers independently created and uploaded through iTunes Producer. - Fabe

  • How do I move a page to a new location within iBooks Author?

    I've just started to play around with iBook Author, and I can't seem to discover how I can do something as basic as move a page to a new location within the chapter, or outside the chapter for that matter.  It won't allow me to drag and drop it, and there is no menu selection for it.  I also would like to be able to insert a new page at the current cursor location, and that doesn't work either.
    Has anyone had any luck doing either of these tasks?

    You can't. You can move entire chapters or sections but can't move individual pages because of the reflow capability. It is mentioned in the help and the FAQ I believe.

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.
