Updating a published book - 2nd edition?

Once a book has been sent and accepted into the iBook store, what is the procedure to update it with new information?
For example if one were writing a book about exoplanets  and a new exoplanet is discovered, how would that information be added and submitted. Do books get updated the way apps do?
I have not submitted my book for publication yet, I just want to be able to plan ahead in thinking about this.

Once a book [is in] the iBook store, what is the procedure to update it with new information?
how [is] information be added and submitted.
Do books get updated the way apps do?
Last first, no, iBooks are not updated like apps. It's all or nothing with books.
You update through iTunes Producer. A second or third "printing" overwrites the previous edition. - Fabe

  • Tom's book 2nd edition

    Guys,
    I've recently got the new 'Expert Oracle Database Architecture - 9i and 10g Programming Techniques and Solutions' By Thomas Kyte. I'm like a beginner with Oracle and only have bits and pieces of knowledge. So, I want to utilise the book to the fullest extent possible.
    Is there any interdependence in the chapters? If I start with 1st chapter, do I have to continue chapter wise in sequence? If you have any other order without disturbing the flow, can you suggest? But, I'm quite sure this book will help me heaps.
    Cheers
    Sarma.

    Hello
    I've pretty much read it cover to cover now, but I started by skipping into chapters that covered something I was interested to know more about. You can read them in isolation, but I came across concepts that were covered in other chapters and that made me continue to read those chapters too. It is a great book and I keep dipping in to it to brush up on subject areas as there is a lot to take in. It is really usefull for experimentation and investigation, as you can see the examples and replicate them. Have a go!

  • About the 2nd edition of book " Archiving Your SAP Data"

    Gurus:
    I know some new stuff has been added to the 2nd edition.
    Could you share your opinion about the 2nd edition: It's worthwhile to buy it sinec I already have
    the 1st edition?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Black Belt Expert,
    you might want to ask the publisher for an Enhancement Package covered by your support contract for your 1.0 version of the book.
    good luck,

  • Updating an already published book on iTunes Producer

    How do I go about updating my already published paid iBook without using iBooks Author? The reason is that I created my epub in InDesign and so I cannot open the epub in iBooks Author for me to update it using the iBooks Author to iTunes Producer method...
    Can I just re-upload the file on iTunes Producer and actually have it be a new update to the book on iTunes?

    There is no way to import your original InDesign created ePub... into iBooksAuthor.
    You can update your inDesign files..and upload as an update.
    Only you know if the book is selling ...and at what rate of sales...and therefore that information is the catalyst for your choice. If it is selling well -it would seem worthwhile investing some time to rebuild and update it using iBA.
    You mention spending a few days creating your book.....there are many members here who spend months creating so e examples of the most brilliant interactive iBooks currently available in the store.  However, only you can decide which of the options available to you..to opt into.

  • Difference between 1st & 2nd editions of Tom Wolsky's book?

    I bought the 1st edition when it was released. Are there enough changes in the 2nd edition to justify purchasing it? (I have since upgraded from the original version of FCE to FCE-HD).

    There are some substantial differences in the way the application works between v1 and v2. There are no real differences between v2 and v3, except for the inclusion of HDV. Some of the techniques you used in FCE1 may not work in later versions because of changes to the application.

  • How to download 2nd edition?

    I purchased a book from the iBookstore a couple months ago and now see that it has been revised. There were some formatting problems in the 1st edition and I'd like to get the 2nd edition which the author says corrects the formatting problems.
    How do I get the 2nd edition? There is no "Update" like on the App Store.
    Also, how are 1st edition purchasers notified that a 2nd edition is available? I just happened to notice the publish date.
    Thanks,
    -Terry

    Thanks splinters69. When I went to the Store in the iBooks app, the book displayed a grayed out "Downloaded" button and wouldn't let me re-download it. So I deleted the book from my iPhone and went back to the Store which then showed the book as available for "Purchase." After clicking "Purchase" a dialog appeared saying that I had already purchased it and I could re-download it without being charged.
    I now have the 2nd edition but the process is a little convoluted and not terribly intuitive. It would be nice to have a notification that the book has a new edition available, describe the changes, and would I like to update. Essentially like the App Store.

  • How do I update a pending book project on iTunes Connect?

    I successfully uploaded my book and all assets to iTunes Producer. I received a ticket about my use of the term iBook (not allowed) and corrected the book file.
    I am having trouble updating the files. When I tried to update the files I received an error code. "ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets:"
    Apparently that is caused by using iBooks Author's Export functionality and then delivering to the iBookstore. (my m4a files are inside widgets).
    I have seen this suggested process:
    1. Open your book in iBooks Author
    2. Choose Publish from the Toolbar
    3. Choose a name for your book package
    4. iTunes Producer should open automatically once iBooks Author completes the book publishing process.
    5. Carefully enter your book's metadata
    6. When complete, click on the Delivery tab and click Deliver
    But I have not been able to use this process above (1-6) to update my pending project. It seems to be designed for new book projects rather than updating files on existing projects.
    Is there a way to update my current book at iTunes Connect without getting the ERROR ITMS-9000?
    Or should I cancel my existing book on iTunes Connect and start over? (and if so how do I do that?)
    Thanks for your help

    Just  done this after info from iBook support, simply make whatever changes you  need/want to your book and  using the original package ID and redeliver, all the informatoin wil be in iTunes Producer, but you will need to re input the book, cover and screenshot images.
    After deleting  the iTunes Package in a clean up, iBook support advised to export the book and get the package ID from iTunes Connect if you  did not  record it anywhere. If you do, open iTunes Producer and in Look up Metadata.. type or paste your original package Apple ID number.
    This has worked out OK for me, those who have had a book issued a "Ticket"  will likely be using the same methods.
    A search for error codes advises its about zipped files or unzipping something you added.  Check your content and save making sure you either replace the original or delete it and save a new version and  re-deliver.
    The good news is... if you have corrected your book to comply with teh Ticket... its should be in the store with 24 - 48 hours.
    This is for Free Books.... so I dont know if its the same with paid books

  • Time Machine does not recognize my WD my book world edition network drive

    I just updated to mountain lion and now my WD my book world edition network drive is not recognized by time machine. I get a message that says " The network backup does not support the required AFP features. Does anyone have a fix for this.

    That device is unsuitable for use with Time Machine.
    If you want network backup with Time Machine, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive connected to another Mac or a mini-tower (802.11ac) AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base station supports Time Machine, not any previous model.

  • Headphone/Microphone 2nd edition

    I have a 2nd edition iPod Touch 8Gb running 3.1.2. My headphone/microphone always worked perfectly. Last month I had my unit replaced under warranty and now whenever I use voice memos or another app that requires headset/microphone when I plug the SAME ones in that worked fine before, I keep getting an error message that says to plug them in when they already are.I tried starting the app againj but they are still not detected/
    Any ideas?

    Thanks Jono.
    Here's the officical page of the book.
    It includes some examples for download.

  • Update for Address Book

    When I downloaded the update 10.5.3, it said it would update my address book. I don't thin it did.
    It still says 2007 license and I can't sync with Google Contacts!
    Does anyone know what is wrong?

    The Address Book application in Mac OS X 10.5.3 now lets _*iPhone users*_ sync their Address Book with Google Contacts.
    If you aren't an iPhone owner, or you simply have reasons for not wanting to use this new solution, Syncman and Spanning Sync 2.0 (when it arrives) should still be viable options.
    Update
    General consensus from commenters says that if your machine has never touched an iPhone or iPod touch, you aren't likely to see this feature (just like Google stated).
    Do you have an iPhoto or an iPod Touch? according to the Google article his feature is only available if you do

  • The WD My Book "Studio Edition" 750 gig external drive

    Is anyone else out there using/ having trouble with the WD My Book Studio Edition external hard drives?
    I'm just wondering because I can't get mine to pop up on the desktop or be recognized in Disk Utility.
    It started out working just fine (using firewire 800, 400 and USB2). Now, it's just not popping up at all even with the latest firmware from WD and software updates from Apple (mainly the OS 10.5.5 combo update).
    Just looking for comparisons.
    Thanks.
    Steve

    I can't say that I have personal experience with this drive. I know one person who has used a similar WD for a project and has had success.
    As for you problem, it sounds like your drive could have some other serious problems. If it is new enough you may want to think about an exchange.
    And on that note, a lot of the folks here will say to avoid the WD drives for video work. So if you can actually return it and exchange for something else, that might be better.

  • New restrictions imposed to users of the Digital Publishing Suite (professional edition)

    We are a communication agency and we have just be informed by Adobe about the new "rules" imposed to users of the Digital Publishing Suite (professional edition). We are outraged by these practices: Adobe abuses of its leadership position on the market and hold us hostage.
    We currently produce institutional magazines for one of our big clients. These magazines are produced in several languages and contain several thematic folios: therefore we manage several individual apps (multi and simple folios). We are planning to add more content and to develop new apps.
    The new restrictions imposed to us by Adobe call into question our digital activity. If we follow the new rules, we now will have to buy 6 or more licenses instead of only 1 before. Given the fact that our corporate publications are not sold like commercial magazines, the rise in production cost is unacceptable. We can't forward the significantly higher fees to our client either who will quit the project for sure.
    We have chosen the Adobe platform after a careful analysis of its functionalities and its production costs. We trusted Adobe and the DPS platform but the new rules invalidate our choices and overthrow the projects already developed with our client (needing continuous updates), the investments we have made so far in training and development and finally the profitability of the agency itself.
    We therefore ask Adobe to come back on its decision and to apply responsible commercial practices with regard to agencies. We also ask Adobe to make sure that agencies that built their digital activities around Adobe tools can plan these activities correctly in the long run and obtain decent returns on their investments. We thus invite Adobe to reestablish the trust it is currently destroying.

    This topic is being discussed in detail here.

  • Need help with WD My Book Pro Edition II

    I started with it connected via FW800 to my PowerMac G5. Later, decided to connect to my Airport Extreme to share with my wife's PC and my MacBook Pro. I tried to connect back to my G5 via anything and it will not mount. When I run disk utility, it says it was not properly unmounted. I understand the issue and why, but I have went back to the Extreme, reconnected to all my computers and unmounted properly just to be safe, then disconnected from extreme and it still will not mount to my mac. Any suggestions?

    DaddyPaycheck and Miriam, thank you for your suggestions. I've been contacted by one of the senior VPs of PR at Western Digital, and he has promised to put me in touch with more advanced tech support in the US, to see if my problem can't be resolved. It seems my blog posts and videos got some well-deserved attention. We'll see where this new development leads. I'll keep this post marked as unresolved until I have a definitive solution for my issues, and will update it as needed.
    I've had great success with the OWC NewerTech Stack enclosures, the ones that have a built-in Firewire and USB hub. I've had two of them for over 2 years now, and they work great. I've replaced the drives inside them as bigger drives became less expensive, and they've held up quite nicely. I also have a Porsche-designed LaCie that has been working non-stop for about two years as well, and now I have three 500 GB LaCie drives that I recently bought. They work great as well. I also really like my Drobo, which I bought to store my photo library. The only drive I'm having problems with is the My Book Pro Edition II, which is why I keep trying to get its problems resolved.
