Updating an iBook (not free) made with iBook Author possible?

Hi,
I pubished a picturebook using iBook Author the beginning of this year. It was quite slow as it had many images and audio files in it.
Last week I opened it and saved it with the updated iBook Author and it seems to be running much better now on the iPad.
My question is, can I update the book, even if it is not free? Do I need a new ISBN nummber if I am not changing the content?
Do the people who bougt my book also get an update? How does this work?
Kind regards,
Kora

Each device needs to download the update. It wise to delete the old version- which is not needed as the book is not via the store...it's not seen as an update..just another book.
Do you use Dropbox or dimilar? If not maybe you should, it's free and the app can go on all your staff iPads and download from a supplied link.
i Send photo books to family "across the water" and while Apples Safari option seems fine, it can be iffy on some machines...so I stick to the old and easy method.

    The only people who can read your book in .ibooks format are people with an iPad, and an iPad cannot read a dvd.  So you should probably export it as .pdf.

  • Have just updated to iBook Author 1.01 and have lost my icons

    Have just updated to iBook Author 1.01 and have lost my icons in the left hand column, which show each page of the book. They are now all blank white icons instead of miniature images of the larger pages. Also have lost some images within the pages of text. Has anyone got a fix for this?

    I've just started having this problem too. For a little while my page thumbnails were half there- only recent pages still had them. Now they're all gone.
    All my images other than the ones I just added are also gone
    They simply appear as grey boxes with an X and ? in the middle.
    Not sure if this is related- but I recently moved my system from an external boot drive to the internal. All other apps seem to be working fine.
    This is very disturbing because it would be tons of work to put all the images back.

  • Is there an update for iBooks Author 1.1?

    Just checked in the iTunes store.. and they say iBooks Author 2.2 is available, but that I have 'downloaded' it already... but I check my version of the applicaton and it is only 1.1 
    What's THAT about??

    If you looked on iTunes, you looked at iBooks (for iOS) which is at version 2.1.1.
    iBooks Author (for OS X) is at v1.1 in the Mac App Store....long way to go before it hits 2.2

  • Update for iBooks Author

    Does anyone know if Apple are going to make the iBooks Author available so any publications you make are available for all OS devices rather than just the iPad?
    Its such a good program its a pity its only available for the iPad... Anyone know anything?

    I was under the impression that it would only generate your publications that only a iPad could read. I think now I am under the impression that if you send it to Apple via iTunes Producer you can publish it to iBookstore once it has been checked by Apple.
    Both true.
    Anyone know how long you can expect to wait?
    See the thread Once my book is uploaded, how long before it appears in iTunes?   
    ...there are others available here via search if you like.

  • Does an author have the ability to update a ibooks author book once it is published, much like an app?

    I would love to create books like I create apps, where I can create an initial version, but improve upon it without having to have the customer purchase a whole new book.

    I've done a little research.  A little research is a dangerous thing.  The ISBN is a cataloging system for commercial books.  The Library of Congress catalogs books with its own system.  Libraries can use that. The Library of Congress will issue an LCCN, or Library of Congress Control Number, free of charge. 
    In Canada, ISBN numbers are issued by the Canadian government.  Free, as a means to encourage cultural development.  The US, on the other hand, has plenty of cultural development and not enough profit centers, so the monopoly of issuing ISBN numbers was granted to a single company, which sells them.   I believe so-called "aggregators" also provide them to authors for a fee. 
    It's really Apple's choice to require ISBN's on the ebooks it sells.  I don't believe Amazon does. Apple could just as easily require the LCCN instead, or create its own cataloging system.
    Strictly speaking, every edition of a book in a different format would require its own ISBN. One for iBook, one for Kindle,  one for print... on and on.  It runs into money.
    I think that for the iBooks platform to realize its full potential as a disruptive technology, it will need to get beyond the ISBN bottleneck.
    Compare the iBooks system with the App system. The App system is wide open. Because the "book" business has hundreds of years of tradition and baggage, anything with the word "book" attached to it drags some of that baggage along with it.  At least until some incredibly powerful corporate entity with a reputation for freeing up creative energies comes along and disrupts the old model.

  • CMC: user must update save but not modify report with webi

    Hi experts,
    I'm on BO platform 4.0SP2 fp10.
    I would like to know if it is possible to enable a user a user to update data in a report, save report but disable it to modify report structure and query.
    In a folder the user must be able to update the report and prompt, then he must save it, but I don't want him to modify report with webi.
    Thanks
    Camillo

    Hi Frederique,
    By not modifying the report with WebI, do you mean that the user shouldn't have access to WebI Rich Client?
    What kind of update would the user have to do on a report once the report is available in a folder?
    Yes I mean user shouldn't ha access to webi rich client. He should just view update rint and updated report.
    Regards
    Camillo

  • Java 7 Update 25 does not work consistently with FF 23.0.1 running in Mac OS 10.8.4. All plug-ins are up to date. Why?

    2013 iMac running Mac OS 10.8.4 & FF 23.0.1. When I attempt to access a site (usually a city government site) that requires Java, the applet runs, but the content fails to appear. Sometimes if I play with the various plugins, close FF and restart it, I can get the content to appear. But that tactic does not always work. Besides, it is annoying to have to shut down the program and then go back to the search results I was using to see IF it will work.

    Hello normandygroup,
    EDIT : test if java is installed correctly: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
    thank you

  • IPhoto 9.3.1 update still does not fix issue with photo being out of focus when you hit the edit button

    I thought that this update would finally fix this, but this is not the case. I haven't been able to edit my photos for over a month now since the last update because of this. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS.

    Apple don't promise to read things posted here.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to them.

  • Updating desktop iWork - not free ????

    I have iWork already on the desktop. Seems like I have to pay once again to update the desktop suite / iWork. Can that be true ?
    Best Michael

    You'll pay more than one way if you do update.
    However if you are determined to do it:

  • Mathtype 6.7e not working in iBooks Author 2.1

    Is anyone else having trouble inserting Mathtype equations in the latest update of iBooks Author. I can't even edit my previous equations. I also have updated to Mavericks so that could be the problem too. I have the latest version of Mathtype that will work on the mac.

    Mr. Mathtype,
    I am having a very similar problem with MathType and iBooks Author. Here is a rundown of what happens. My system is currently running the Mavericks OS with iBooks Author 2.1.
    - When I double click to edit an existing equation a new MathType window is opened titled Untitled X (with X being the iteration of the windor, rather than the normal title you get "Equation from iBooks Author"). This window is blank, it does not contain the text from the equation that I am supposedly editing. If I type anything into this window and then attempt to close, I am asked if I want to save changes.
    - When I try to insert a new equation I do get a MathType window to open titled "Equation from iBooks Author" but no matter what I type into this window, when I close it, no equation is inserted into my iBooks Author file. I have tried this on existing books that I have built as well as brand new books started from Apple's generic templates.
    However, your fix of opening MathType before iBooks Author seems to have resolved the issue. Just figured I would chime in to help you troubleshoot the issue.

  • Will an ibooks author 1.1 file work in ibooks author 2 without glitches?

    Just finished a 75-page iBook, ready for publishing but wonder if I should update to Ibooks author 2 first. OR will there be problems?

    Hi KT...on a related issue: I noticed that in Author2 when you go to Publish, there is a different routine. In Author1, when you select Publish, the program creates the three files for your .itmsp package: title.ibooks, cover image.jpg and the metadata.xml then asks if you want to create an account to upload. Author2 requires you to have set up your publishing account (which I have not done yet). My question is simply how do I backup current work in Author2 if I cannot override what I have saved already? Also (and this may be dumb), I don't seem to be able to open the .itmsp package with Author. What file is Author actually working on as I am creating and editing a book? And how do I find this file so I can back it up? As usual...thanks in advance.

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • IBookstore soon not accepting ibooks made with IBA 2.0?

    When delivering my first iBook via itunes Producer, I got a warning letting me know that the iBookstore would 'soon' be not accepting ibooks made with ibooks author 2.0 - does anyone know when that is exactly? I have one more book built using this version so trying to get it done asap...

    This would truly make a good piece to submit as IBA feedback. (To improve the chances of it being read to the end, I would recommend to remove the judgemental parts of the piece and trim it down to the bare facts before submitting.)
    Not that I don't agree with the judgemental parts
    Michi.
