Using iBooks Bookstore for (free) product catalogues

Hi all
Does anyone know if there are any restrictions/exclusions for creating 'brochure/catalogue' books in iBooks Author and submitting to the Bookstore for free download? I have looked through the guidelines and cannot find anything that specifically says no or looks like it would be an issue but would rather not spend to much time with our client creating content for it to be refused!
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Craig

However, having produced your file to free distribute as above.. then why not submit it. If Apple have any issues your choice is deal with them or dump it. It also depends on your payment terms - if you charge by the hour.. your client could rack up a lot of added expense incurred by your time de-snagging file issues and re-submitting.
The question is where to draw the line. While it's nice of Apple to accept free books, I'm sure they don't see themselves as a general repository for whatever information someone might want to make available, such as product catalogs.
Somehow, Apple have to make a decision as to what should be accepted into the store what should not. I suspect that things such as product catalogs probably wouldn't make it into the store. Too close to advertising, for one, and probably not of interest to the general public. Basically, if you can see a normal book store putting your publication on the shelf, then you have something that potentially would be appropriate for the iBookstore. If you don't think a paper book store would put the catalog on the shelf, I suspect Apple won't either.

There is no free version of CS2. There is only a special version of CS2 available for people who purchased it and need to reinstall it.

hi i am using iphone 4. for free apps download i am being charged in my bank account. how to come out of it.

If you've just setup your account, you're not actually being charged. This is a hold to insure your account details are valid, & will be reversed in a day or two.

Can I use i-chat for free on my i-mac or I have to pay?

I have internet service and a yahoo account I primarily use. I know the mobile me account costs money. Is there anyway to use i-chat for free and video-conference?

Yep,
An AIM name costs nothing.
In iChat 4 the Get an iChat Account button in the Add Account slide out links to an Apple page where you can get a free @mac.com name. (I have linked you to the page)
The Button in my iChat 5 takes me to the AIM site for new names.

Why app store is asking to vertify payment info for free products?

Why app store is asking to vertify payment method even for free products? And after that I still can not download any free products from the store.

Verifying payment method validates your Apple ID. You need to do this even if the charge is zero. Can't get around it.

HT1689 Purchased iBooks from iBookstore, can I get a copy from Kendle bookstore for free

If I bought a from the iBookstore can I get a copy from the Kindle bookstore if they are identical books but do not work on both apps

Lol I get it know kinda, just was under the impression that the benefit of the digital book is that I can use it on multiple applications regardless of which company I buy the digital book from, because I've books only has limited fonts and text colors and stuff I think it would be nice to go to an app that has more tools, thanks for all the help guys you guys just another question you guys know if you can change the font colors in the new iBooks, I know I did get the background and everything but you know it would be nice to have read bond or green font is easier to read read or something like that.

Using CieLab Coordinates for Color production of wine

I realize this may be a somewhat specialized and obscure use of Photoshop but I am a Wine Chemist and have been collecting color spectral data from my experimental wines and would like translate the spectra into a color for a presentation.
I have all of the data from my wines including L*, C*, H*, a*, and b*. When I create a new lab color document and try to imput my color coordinates Photoshop CS4 has some different options than what I measure. For example the saturation or c* is listed for some reason as a percentage and if I type in a Hue value (which I have to subtract from 360) it automatically recalculates my L*, a* and b* values. Can anyone help?

You'll need to convert your linear list to a string then save
it. When
reading it back you'll need to use the value function to
convert it back to
a list. You won't be able to include any entries with quotes.
You're better off using an Xtra like propsave which is free
and saves data
in a binary file.

Using iBook 12" for PhotoShop CS2? Durability compared to PowerBook?

I'm thinking about getting a new Mac. I would really like an iMac 20", but that may be too much to spend right now.
I'm thinking an iBook would give me portability, as well as being able to connect to a monitor and keyboard while at home. I suppose it is like a Mac Mini, but with a built in monitor and keyboard.
My questions are:
1. How well will the 12" iBook run PhotoShop CS2, with 1.5GB of RAM? (Is the PowerBook 15" much faster?)
2. Is the iBook more durable than the PowerBooks? I prefer the look of the PowerBook, since the iBook looks like a student laptop, but if it's more durable, I guess I can live with that.
3. Is the 4500 RPM hard drive a big drawback compared to the 5400 RPM drives in the PowerBooks?
I will mainly be using Adobe CS2, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft Office.
Thanks for any help,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I have a 12" iBook G4 with 1.5gb of ram and I run the adobe creative suite just fine. The ram is definately going to help you in terms of running multiple CS applications at once.
As far as the hard drive is concerned...of course a 4200rpm drive is going to be slower than a 5400. But I dont consider it to be too much of a drawback. Most of my work in CS is done with an external firewire drive spinning at 7200 anyway.
As far as durability goes, i cannot comment on a powerbook as I have never owned one. I keep my iBook in an incase iBook sleve, its with me all the time and so far has been well protected. However, Powerbook or iBook...if you drop it..its going to get damaged in some way.
Good luck with your decision.

Can I create a logo using a photograph for my product label?

I need help on this.

You can, but it's probably not advisable unless you understand the ramifications and can justify them.
The "logo" word has been so cavalierly bantered about in recent decades that it's become almost meaningless.
A proper logo is the primary identity mark of a business entity or product. It's the cornerstone graphic. It's the company's signature. It's sacred ground.
Therefore, leaving all design considerations aside, it should meet the highest technical standards, including reproduction consistency, robustness, and versatility.That by far usually means line art consisting entirely of cleanly (painstakingly) optimized vector paths so that:
It can be reliably reproduced at any practical reduction or enlargement with no loss of quality.
It can be reliably reproduced in all media; not just print; not just on the web. The company's business forms (letterhead, envelopes, business cards, invoices) are just the bare basic beginning. It should be suitable for everything from promotional items (pens, plaques, etc.) to the electric sign on the building. It should be suitable for reproduction not just in RGB and CMYK, but in everything from sign vinyl to sheet metal.
And it should be unmistakeably recognizable in all those uses.
So that usually (and wisely) rules out raster imaging as any essential part of the logo proper. You should carefully consider the limitations you are imposing on anything you refer to as a "logo."
It's not that it's never done. For example, a household brand manufacturer may standardize upon a raster image of an idealized farm field as an integral element of the product identity used on the labels for a range of jams and jellies. But the corporate logo itself would be based on proper vector artwork, even if it is stylized with raster effects when printed in certain situations.
So there's a difference between corporate identity and product identity, and there's a difference between product logotype and product branding. For example, almost anyone would recognize a particular raster graphic as one coming from a box of Wheaties, just by its content and stylistic treatment. But by the same token, the Wheaties product logotype would be even more unmistakeably recognized, entirely standing alone, with no raster graphic whatsoever, whether etched on window glass or cast in bronze.
A logo should be documented in an acompanying Identity Style Guide, which clearly defines the specific usage details for any and all forseen situations; from print to signage, to vehicle graphics to embroidered golf shirts to....
If the graphic is dependent upon raster images, gratuitous "effects," and/or even color for its uniqueness, message, or recognition, the designer should immediately go back to the drawing board.
So sure, you can do anything you want, so long as you can get the customer to buy it. The question is whether you (or he) should.

Problem Using Nokia GPS for Free

Hi, so I own an X6 16GB for T-Mobile without a data plan and yesterday I was driving and got slighty lost, decided to open up the map because I knew where I was supposed to be going and wanted to confirm the streets I was driving on were matching up.
A few minutes later when I look at the map I notice that the red dot is moving in real time with my driving, meaning I'm online somehow. This was a suprise to my since I have no data/online plan for my T-Mobile contract. I then get curious, enter an address and the phone starts working like a regular GPS device telling when to turn, how far away I am etc.
A little later I notice that it says I'm connected T-Zones or something like that and shows that I'm sending and recieving 'packets' so I panic and immediately disconnect uncertain whether or not T-Mobile will bill me for data and here is where it gets complicated.
A day later I go to My-tmobile website to see my plan usage because they update all your activities every few hours and under the data usage section it shows 0kb sent and 0kb recieved even though 24 hours ago when using my GPS it said I had sent and recieved several hundred kb. I'm confused now though, so is that the GPS function is free from Nokia but I still have to pay for connections from my carrier or it's free even without data connections?
Thank you.

Go to maps>settings(spanner bottom left of screen)>internet>connection and set to Offline. Then go to Menu>applications>Location>Positioning>Positioning methods and make sure only Integrated GPS has a tick next to it. That way the GPS will not connect to your network and will rely on the satellites for navigation.

I have children's books in Japanese, Chinese and Arabic that I am trying to convert into epub formats that ibookstore will accept. My source docs are in ms word or pdf format. I want to use ibooks author for this purpose. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Is there an easy way of importing the children's books into ibooks author? There is an image on every other page. The books has to be in fixed layout format.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated. I understand that ibookstore will accept only epub 3.0 formats for Japanese titles. As I stated earlier, my objective is to make those language books available in ibookstore.

The books has to be in fixed layout format
If you mean keep the same as original, I wouldn't expect to retain that, sorry.
You'd be obligated to either copy/paste in sections/blocks of text, images, etc. or insert from Pages/Word, but either way you can expect to have to rework towards whatever 'fixed' layout you need in an iBA book....that can mean significant work in some examples.
You may want to work with a sample to find out the best workflow in any case.
As for Arabic support, see this thread: Does iBook Author support Arabic...: Apple Support Communities
Good luck.

How to use OVI map for free?

Is OVI map really free? I bought a 5800 XM last week. I don't have data plan. I have a problem with the map. I heard the navigation is free forever, this is main reason why Ibought it.
When I set a place and select "drive to", it always ask me: "Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?" when I select NO, it will not work. It can show where I am, but don't tell me how to go to my destination.
Could anyone tell me how to make it work?
Thanks.

Look at your other post, and try not to do multiple posts on the same subject, it makes it harder for people to help you and cloggs up the forum !

CS3 (attempting to use PS) Licensing for this product has stopped working

Searches have revealed several Threads on this subject, but those I have reviewed have either remained unanswered or where solutions have been found the information has not been fully shared.
I am running a Mac Pro early 2008 2 x 2.8Ghz 4 Core, 8GB RAM and running Mac OS X 10.8.# Mountain Lion.
My problem seems to have started following an upgrade to my Start Up Disc from HDD to SSD.
Several rectification attempts were made by following all of the CS3 directions at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
Like others I found that the LicenceRecovery111.dmg would not function under Mac OS X 10.8.#
I also uninstalled everything Adobe, ran the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool and removed the multitude of remaining Adobe items manually.
Reinstallation was to nil avail because the dreaded message was still present.
The UK Adobe CS eventually escalated the problem to the next Level but even taking control of my Screen were unable to make any progress with only the following advice:
Please uninstall and reinstall by renaming the Adobe folder and try installation and launch And CS 3.0 is very older version and it is not tested on the latest version of Mac 10.8.2, And however you can try to uninstall and reinstall the software and we do not guarantee that it works fine.
I may have missed something along the way but this leaves me with the question:
Is CS3 incompatible with Mac OS X 10.8.#?
If anyone has any knowledge of this subject or can point me in the direction of an answer I will be most grateful. I no longer have justification to upgrade to CS6 and only occasionally use PS and AI, so hanging on to CS3 would be a good move.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
Regards, G.
