Why does my book page background disappear?

I have created many books in Aperture, usually using custom layouts, so I can export as a PDF to print with Blurb.
Recently, a few of my books suffered a glitch.
I had set the page background (mostly) to Black.
When I went back to the book, I found that it had been replaced by White (or No Background)
Now the background drop-down menu, instead of providing colours, says only Item1 or Bkgd2.
Both are greyed out anyway, so I can't change them.
Duplicating the book does not help.
So the only option is to recreate the entire book, or export to Jpegs and chand All of the pages in photoshop.
Anyone have any ideas??
best regards
Adrian

Thanks for replying, Leonie, but I'm afraid it hasn't solved it.
They were created with the latest version, 3.4.5.
And because the layout is a custom one (12x12") there is no original theme.
I first noticed the phenomenon when I transferred a project to a laptop from the iMac.
But it has happened three times since, seemingly at random.

Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

No on the book title, no problem there.
The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Right now (and for quite some time!) the community pages are a real PITA. Trying to link the two did not bring the nice behavior of the Forums to the Community, but rather brought that stench over here!

Flame on. I find the community useless.

Darn, now I am logged out.

Actually not mad, just indifferent. I figure in a few months I'll hear that it was fixed and maybe I'll go back there.

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

The type is small on the website but that's because of all the stuff that they are cramming onto the page. A couple of other users made this same comment about eBay a while ago, as I recall.
There is no setting in Safari in which you can enlarge the size of the text.

Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

reboot the router (and the printer).
If still happening, check your router settings. Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

Why does my itunes page default to Spanish not English?

Why does my iTunes page default to Spanish?

This is often due to the fact that your account is not synced with the new iTunes Radio capabilities, and you have to sign-out and sign in to retreive the new capabilities.
Visit the Store menu and sign out... , and then sign in ... and try again.

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right? If so that's a known issue.
There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File. That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

Hello Helena.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Why does audio books list by chapter instead of books?

Why does audio books list by chapter instead of by book ?

Perhaps I should have given more detail. The device works the way it works. Listing every chapter is part of the normal behaviour, and often not in a useful order which is the main thrust of that article. However it does point out that you can use one of the various free/cheap tools available to stitch the individual files into a single audiobook file which is what iDevices really expect to receive.
Alternatively you could use a smart playlist which matches a particular title and only includes files with a play count of zero to make it easier to locate the current chapter. I don't recall ever trying this so I'll have a go and see how it works out.

Window sizes and positions are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.

Page background disappears for a moment on page turn in pdf

In indesign my document has a gradient page background (created in indesign) on the master page to make it look like a book. But when the page is turned in pdf, the background disappears for a moment, leaving the page white, then the background appears again; it does this nearly every time page is turned, flashing white. Does this have to do with pdf or indesign layers? I have only 1 layer in the indesign document, and transparency blend space is set to rgb.

Everytime you change the page Acrobat needs to redraw all of the page elements. The dealy is probably a reflection of the amount off video memory available, as much as anything.

Why does safari reload page from beginning when going back in history

This behavior in safari is driving me nuts, i'm using mountain lion 10.8.1 and everytime i swipe two fingers to the left after having left a page to checksomething, safari goes back to the page and starts me in a different place (usually very beginning) than where i was when i navigated away from the page. i mean what the ****? this gets very infuriating pretty quickly, especially on really long pages that i now have to navigate to the same section i was when i navigated away from the page.
example, i was reading about the samsung apple verdict on cnet, and i was reading i dont know, the 30th or so comment in:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57500273-37/apple-v-samsung-the-infringing-dev ice-scorecard/
I then navigated away from the page to look for a tangent the comments made me think of, and when i swiped two fingers to the left, low and behold, i am now at the top of the page and have to figure out what comment i was up to.. what.. the.. heck man?? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to 'fix' this behavior?
I remember on snow leopard i could go back and forth between pages w/o the page having to reload/leave me at the top..
another example is newegg.com, i was looking at monitors and playing with the differnet choices when clicking 'more choices':
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=20&name=LCD-Monitors
scroll down to where it says options on the left pane, the page displays drop downs, i select a few, click on Search, and when i two-finger swipe to the left to get back, the drop downs are now gone!! that was the "last state" of the page, so why does the page have to get entirely reloaded?? It SHOULD still be in my cache and viewable in the exact same way as when i left the page..
someone please help!

Jesus H Christ this is still driving me up the wall, i can't believe everyone is just accepting this. Isn't there a way to fix this? Can we at least have an option to turn this OFF?? Reloading a page everytime i go back is such a waste of time/bandwidth/my nerves when i am in the middle of a page

Why does it forget my background when asleep for a while?

I notice that if I close my 17" powerbook and open it a day later, it forgets my special desktop image. Most everything else seems ok - I can't find anything else that's off, but the desktop goes back to a homogenous blue and I have to go to System Preferences to set it again. Interestingly, when I go to the "Desktop and screensaver" panel, it shows the right JPG as the background and all I have to do is change the "stretch" etc. option and it goes back to normal. Any ideas? Why does it do this when it's been alseep for a while?
Mike

The answer is in a little checkbox called "do not change document relative paths" in the template options under "manage site." Check the box!

Why does the book file bloat?

Every time I refresh (reimport) the EDD to the files of a book, the book file gets larger and larger indefinitely (which never happens to the individual fm-files).
Okey, I can resave as mif and then resave the mif back as a .book file to get rid of that junk, but why? It's pretty annoying. Why does it bloat? What's the purpose of bloating it rather than just replacing the old structure definitions? This has been so for all versions of FM I know of.
