When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books

When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books the preview only slides side to side

Pages continue to slide rather than flip for the horizontal orientation.  In the vertical orientation, the text scrolls up-and-down like a web page (again as shown in iBooks Author if you change the previewed orientation).  I'm not sure why Apple went with the different GUI for their textbooks, but its the same for the ones authored by the big publishers.  If you want to see what the format is like on the iPad, there's a short free textbook (Wilson's Life on Earth) and sample chapters from others available from the iBookstore.
On a side note, one interesting thing about using texts in the two different orientations is that the formating changes as well.  Figures that show up as larger embedded images in the horizontal layout are smaller images in the left margin in the vertical layout, at least in Wilson's book.

  • HT5071 Publishing from iBooks Author for approval

    I am in the process of creating a book with iBooks Author and want to send it to contributors for approval. I know how to do it if they have an iPad. Is there a way to convert to another format for viewing with a Mac or PC?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks KT,
    Yes, problem is that the chapters are a combination of contextual text and sound bites.
    If you are able to accomplish the same result with .epub format, this would be readable on all platforms.  But you would have to use some other app, like Pages, to create it.

  • When i publish from muse ecommerce form in BC gets deleted

    I made part of the site in muse and part in BC, now when I publish from muse it deletes the e-commerce form making checkout unavailable.
    How can i avoid this?

    Hi there!
    Sorry fellas, but I have the same problem. Forms that have been used scores of times are still deleted when I update the site from Muse. This fix does not work.
    BC is of very little use to me, if I have to rebuild my forms every time I change a bit of text. I'd rather not go through the hassle of moving to a different provider at this stage. Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • When I publish my site on one specific page where i've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

    I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
    HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
    http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
    It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.

    I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

  • I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
    I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
    I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
    In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
    But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
    Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
    I don't want to disable portrait mode.
    Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

  • HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

    I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides.  When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move).  Any suggestions?

    Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I  found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
    Supose an object on  slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows.  Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4  to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
    For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.

  • Pages not displaying properly in Publisher instances as we activated the page from Author

    HI All,
    Pages not displaying properly in Publisher instances as we activated the page from Author. In author it is working well but in Pulisher it is showing first 2 lines of the page and then showing error as
    Apache sling/2.2 Hot Spot ****** Sun OS error
    Please help me on this.IS this issue with the templates or components are we using?

    Ok, then let's go the long way and try to reduce the number of possible root causes:
    1) Is your problem reproducible on this publish? (I suppose it is)
    2) Is it reproducible on other publishs as well, which have received the same page with the same application?
    3) Can you reproduce it on other replicated pages as well?
    4) When you upload a page to such an affected publish via a content package, does this page render correctly?
    5) Does this problem appear on other environments as well?
    6) Do you use dispatcher when you get this result? Or do you get it when you request the page directly of CQ5?
    7) What's the HTTP statuscode when you render this page? You can see it in the request.log of CQ5.
    If you change logging via Felix Console, you don't need to restart the instance.
    kind regards,
    Jörg

  • Can I sell books made with iBooks Author in the UK iTunes store?

    Hi all,
    I'm a UK-based musician who publishes a range of tuition books on playing the bass guitar. I've spent the last few months devleoping one of these books in iBooks Author, and the end results are really impressive. I submitted the book to the iTunes store last week (after setting up a US Tax ID etc) and it was approved in the US store yesterday. Here's a link to the relevant page:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bass-players-guide-to-scales/id534940432?mt=13
    My question is, is there any way I can make this book available to customers in all countries? I filled in all the info/pricing etc for all countries when I uploaded the book, but it's only approved for sale in the United States so far. Is there just a delay in the other stores being approved or can it only be the US for textbooks? I notice that the UK iTunes store does not have a textbooks category. Am getting worried now that I shouldn't have put it in the Textbooks category, although I don't remember being able to choose another option.
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Cheers
    Stuart

    It is possible to publish books created in iBooks Author outside of the US. They will just not be able to appear in the Textbooks category as it's currently a US only category.
    I can see in the UK store that you've got two editions of the same book for sale. One has screen grabs and is clearly filled with iBA features for £9.99 and the other at £6.49 with no preview images which I assume is in standard ePub format - both are in the Arts & Entertainment -> Music category.
    Congrats!

  • IBook Author of the video size

    I would like to know what's best way to set up iBook Author of the video size and format file for all ipad devices including ipad air.
    I already knew about this part:
       •    To create up to a 420p movie: Select “iPod touch & iPhone 3GS.”
       •    To create up to a 720p movie: Select “iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV.”
       •    The numbers refer to the number of vertical lines. For the best quality, select the 720p (iPad) option
    I wonder if I can set up the aspect ratios like 4:3 frame (small video of box with story) in iBook Author for ipad air to be able to see this on full screen from iBook shelf.  I have ipad and ipad mini but I don't have ipad air.  I wonder if it will have good quality video like 4:3 ratio for ipad air screen with Retina display? Since Apple support didn't provide enough details how the overall video would look like on screen without stretching or using proper proportions.
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    If you create a 1024x768 video, you will be making the fullest possible use of screen real estate on a non-retina iPad (no letter boxing or pillars needed). Double that to 2048x1536 for retina.
    Having said that, I should  point out that the dynamic duo of iOS and the iPad;s video firmware provide some of the best scaling routines I have seen. So 1024x768 video on a retina iPad will look just fine. With moving pictures, high resolution doesn't return as much benefit as it does with static images.
    It would be interesting to see what the video optimizer in iBooks Author does with 2048x1536 video. To find out, we'll need to use iBooks Author to create project file that includes a 2048x1537 video and then export as *ibooks and deconstruct that *.ibooks file.

  • Videos don't display when i publish from my macbook

    I created a module on my pc. it worked fine. I bought a mac, opened the project, edited it. when i preview it it's fine. but when i publish it, the videos, that are flv files don't display. when i publish from my pc the videos display. does anyone have any idea what's going on?

    I am not a macbook user. But AFAIK, FLV being a Flash video, I don't think Apple will support it.
    However, ideally Adobe Media Encoder (AME) should have converted your FLV to MP4 during the publishing process. Not sure why that is not happening. You can try converting the FLVs outside Captivate (using AME or any other tool), insert the video again on your macbook and see it it works.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!
