Using the ibook as a slave

I have hooked up and ibook to my powerbook via firewire and I am doing that to transfer a large file from the ibook to the powerbook. I understand that there is a keyboard command that i need to use when I start up the ibook to make it a slave to the powerbook. Can anyone help?

HT5071 Can I create a book using the IBooks Author word processing software, save it as a PDF, then have it professionally printed by an offset press to sale in brick and mortar stores? If so, is this procedure free me from any IBooks restrictions?

It's your content, under your control.
If you output as an .ibooks file, and you want to sell it, the store is the only outlet, otherwise, you can do as you wish.

Using the iBook with the cover closed

Can you hook up external monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc and use the iBook with the cover closed? I know that usually closing the cover puts it to sleep.

The keyboard is an important component of the cooling of the CPU. Excess heat dissipates through the keyboard. Closing the cover would cause damage to other components from the heat. You can run iTunes with the screen off if that helps. Do that in systems prefs>energy saver and set the screen to go off in three minutes (or one) and the CPU to stay on indefinetly.

Being author of an Apple-approved iBook am I allowed to promote my book via email or website, without using the iBooks Badge?

Being author of an Apple-approved iBook, am I allowed to promote my book via email and wbsite without using the iBooks Badge?

Yes you can use email and if you a website/FB etc,. you can use the iBooks badge.
Use this link to Apples link maker https://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/us/?urlDesc=
Then find your book(s) and create one of three link option for use on websites.
For emails I would suggest use the "text only" option but test the other logo options also.

The new ibook app and ibook update is designed for iPhone 5 operating system. When my iPhone4 recently updated the ibook app, it created many problems using the ibook to download and read my books. Can I get the previous ibook app back on my phone.

Check your trash can on the desktop. The old version is automatically moved to the trashcan. You should be able to move it from the trashcan back to the Apps folder within the iTunes folder. The update that was pushed out was for iBooks to work with iOS 7 not iPhone 5. iOS 7 was released today.

How can I share an ibook that is 250 megs with others without using the ibook store

Hello
I'm using ibook author and the book I have created is 250 megs. I'm having trouble sharing it and getting on my new ibook air. Does anyone know if there is a good way to share the file with others without publishing it or using iTunes?
I'd ideally like to use something like Dropbox or my website but every time I try to download the file using one of these sites safari/apple says file not readable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you both for the help and sorry about not replying earlier. I've tried both drop box as well making the ibook downloadable from a website. I've triend to create a step by step list below that better illustrates what is happening.
1) export ibook author file as an xxxxxx.ibooks
2) upload xxxxx.ibooks to dropbox and then send my self a test link
3) using safari i download the xxxxx.ibooks file
4) while still in safari a page opens up with an icon for the xxxx.ibooks file and it has two buttons underneath it- one that says "open with..." and another that says "open in ibooks"
THIS IS WHERE THE IBOOK PROBLEM STARTS
5) I tap on the "open in ibooks" button - nothing happens
6) I tap on the "open with..." button and an icon for the ibook app pops up
7) I tap on the ibook app icon and nothing happens
8) I tap and hold the "open in ibooks" button for 2 plus minutes (the time for holding the button down fluctuates from 45 seconds to 5 minutes)
9) the xxxxxx.Ibooks file opens in the ibook app.
I am very happy that I was able to get the xxxxx.ibooks file to open on my ipad. However, this is not a smooth or intuitive process. I need to share the xxxxxx.ibooks file with many people and I want to find a process for getting them the book that is very easy.
any advice is appreciated
Do you think the problem could be the size of the file?
Thank you

Using the iBook in France

Other than a power adapter, are there any special considerations?
How about internet screening for kids? (We currently use Bumpercar heere in the states.)
Thanks!!!

The AC adapter that comes with the iBook is world-ready. All you need is a plug adapter.
I've never used a program like Bumpercar, but is there a reason it wouldn't work in France? The Internet is the Internet, it's not different in Europe. I suppose, if it's looking for key words, it may not know the French words to avoid...

HT4059 We are unable to download a book for purchase from the iBook store because it says you are not authorized to use the iBooks United States site and must use the Canadian site. How do we do this?

We have always been able to purchase books from iBooks no problem but all of a sudden it says you cannot purchase this book as you aren't authorized to use the US store and must connect to the Canadian store. We cannot figure out how to do this. Help!

Sign out and back into the device so you switch back to the Can account.

Shouldn't you be able to use the IBook while its plugged in charging?

I went to use my Ibook, which needed charging, It boots up but then just stays blue with the arrow there, is this normal? Does it have to be charged even though its plugged into the wall?

A couple questions:
Have you fully charged your iBook before?
Did you calibrate your battery when you first got your iBook?
Do you get to the username/password screen?

I have the original iPad. I have used the iBooks app extensively and have saved a number of books and PDF Docs. I try to open iBooks and it will only stay open for a matter of seconds.The latest changes indicate I need a IOS 5.0. How do I access my iBook

I am unable to access my iBooks library from my iPad through the iBooks App. Recent changes to the app says I require IOS 5.0 which I don't have because I have the original IOS that came with my iPad (the original released version) I have an extensive library that I cannot access. What do I do?

Why do you think you cannot upgrade to iOS 5? That should work fine. iOS 6 is not possible for iPad 1.

How does a publisher provide updates for books to use the ibooks 3 update feature?

Are updates provided only by publishing through the iBookstore, or will iBooks 3 pick up changes from books purchased elsewhere?

Have you tried updating them through iTunes on your computer, or, updating the books in iBooks on your computer (if using Mavericks).

Using the ibook overseas

Hi,
I'm about to puchase the 12" ibook and am going to be living in France for a few months, and also visiting England. Is there anything I should be aware of regarding adapters, wifi....anyone know of anything I should bring along with the regular hardware?
Also, I will probably be buying the refurbished model to save a couple hundred.
Thanks in advance.

Douglas,
What about the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit?
Hi Brooke,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I suggest getting a protective case for your iBook, external hard drive, the (Airport Express), and the iSight. I never leave home without them. If you would like to know why specifically I suggest these or would like some suggestions on what to get; please us know.

Can I use my ibook as a mac mini interface?

Hello all, I currently have an ibook G4 2004 , I need to get more hard drive space and need a faster machine to handle some of the more complex applications I've been running. I was wondering if I invested in a mac mini, would I just be able to connect this to myG4 via USB and just use the ibook keyboard and screen to use my mac mini?
I am sure this is all fairly obvious and I'd imagine that this would be possible, would there be any advantages to doing this as opposed to investing in a new system altogether? Any input would be much appreciated.

+wondered If I could just use my laptop as a screen and transfer all the information to the mac mini and run off of the mac mini.+
This question comes up about once a week.
No Mac is designed to replace a monitor and keyboard.
You can, however, connect two Macs with an ethernet cable and using that network connection do screen sharing. But you probably won't like the results for anything except very casual use.
You'd still have to use a real monitor, keyboard, and mouse to setup your new Mini.
Once set up, you'd run a VNC program like Chicken of the VNC on your old Mac, and you'd have Screen Sharing active on your Mini. This would let you control your Mini with the iBook's screen, keyboard, and trackpad.
But as I said, you probably won't like the results. Budget for a monitor.

Move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?

Hi! Is it possible to move the iBooks library from its default location on the boot drive (where the iBooks-application also resides) to a different hard drive?
Currently all my ebooks and PDF’s are kept in the default „Books“-folder in the home-library on the SSD-boot-drive of my Mac where the iBooks application is also kept by default (path: Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBo oks/Books). Space is getting narrow on my SSD-boot-drive so that I would like to free up approximately 20 GB by moving the entire iBooks library to a second internal HDD-drive of my Mac or to an external USB-drive.
I have not been able to find any instructions on the internet on how to move the iBooks library nor have I been successful in any of my experiments to move the „Books“-folder. What I have tried is the following:
1. I moved the original PDF-files away out of the „Books“-folder to a different drive and placed aliases from these files in the „Books“-folder. The result is that the iBooks-application will simply re-create a full size copy of the original PDF file in the „Books“-folder. I.e. no saving of disk space!
2. I copied the „Books“-folder from its default location in the user library on my internal SSD-boot-drive to a second internal HDD-drive, erased the „Books“-folder at the original location and instead placed a hard link at the original location. I verified that the hard link is working and pointing to the right location on the second drive. The result is that the iBooks-application will not recognize/show any of the PDF-files at the new location. Trying to re-import the missing PDF-files into iBooks results in the message „This book is already in your library. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re adding?“. By clicking on „Yes“ the same message returns infinitely often. I.e. no successes!
3. I repeated the same procedure as described above under 2. using the „iBooks“-folder which encloses the „Books“-folder (along with three other folders) with the same results as before. I.e. no successes!
(path: Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks)
Does anyone know how to successfully move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?
Does anyone have links to internet discussions about this problem?
Regards BJB

I was in on the Mavericks beta, when iBooks was introduced. You can not believe me if you want but it isn't currently possible to store the iBooks library on external storage at this time. The ebooks must be on the path ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books for iBooks to function properly. Any other method you may find to accomplish what you want will be unapproved and could break at any time.
