Widget disappears in portrait view

Why don't some of my widgets show in portrait view? according to IBA help, "widgets always appear in both orientations, no matter what kind of object they are." One is a movie on a foreword page, one is a photo on a chapter cover page, and the other is a quiz. All other photo's and movies in the book are fine.

To view your Widgets in Portrait mode, open the Inspector, click the Layout Inspector button and select Show Thumbnail Track option at the bottom of the panel. This shows the sidebar area to the left side of the text frame and the Widgets will appear. You can drag them up and down to reposition them as needed.

  • Widget disappears from section page in portrait mode.

    Thank you for your help.
    I have a section page (iii) at the begginning of a book with a gallery of 12 photos. I have titled it and written a caption for each photo. Yet, when I switch to portrait mode the widget disappears. There is no image on the side. I have a title on the page in a text field, but I have no text in the main body text field (I'm using the the "Foreward" section template).
    What's happening? I've downloaded two books about iBooks Author today but have yet to find a clue as to what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks again.

    Just an extra tip: Make sure when you insert a widget in LANDSCAPE mode that you find the little Blue Bullseye circle and place it's cursor where you want to anchor it in the text, that way, it will be in the correct place when you go to PORTRAIT.

  • 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?"

  • The Scrollbar Widget on Portrait View

    Has anyone seen or read a book with the scrollbar widget on portrait view? After we save all that screen space on landscape view thanks to this great widget, what do we do on portrait view? You can’t put images across page (portrait), you can’t put graphics... and all or most your text is miniaturized within the widget, what happens then?
    I am curious because I don’t see how you can use this widget successfully and give your viewers both portrait and landscape views. The miniature scroll bar curiosity on the left side (portrait) has swallowed up all or most your text, it looks out of place, you can't remove it without messing with your landscape view, and you still have a blank page to fill below the blue line.
    But I might be proven wrong with examples...

  • Inline and floating locked in portrait view

    My photo book was rejected today because it's not viewable in portrait format.  My intention was to have the book ONLY be viewable in landscape format and that it's more than obvious that you need to turn the pad to landscape to view it–the thing is primarily composed of landscape-format images!
    I saw in today's "disappearing shapes" thread that you need to edit in portrait and layout in landscape, so I'm trying out that approach.
    In portrait mode, I can't get an image to appear in the text column, only as a thumbnail in the left margin.  Inline and Floating are greyed out, only Anchored is available.
    How can I unlock these?  Will that allow me to place the images in the text as in Landscape format?
    Thanks.

    Never click on anything like that and resubmit.
    Test it on a device first.
    Testing it goes without saying, right?  Seems to work.  You saved me a ton of work redesigning a compromised layout.  If I could give you doube bonus points I would! 
    So by clicking disable portrait view it will force the landscape layout to resize smaller to fit portrait view like a pdf does?
    No idea what that means, sorry. How could something resize from something it doesn't do...
    Where did you learn that iBA's portrait view supports PDFs?
    I was talking about looking at a PDF version of this book in iBooks.  When you rotate the pad the landscape image simply rotates and resizes.  Disabling portrait in .iba just locks the book in landscape no matter how you turn the pad.  Perfect for my needs.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How do you make a portrait view that doesn't loose the pictures?

    I'm trying to layout a portrait view book in iBooks Author and I don't understand why Apple doesn't include a template that doesn't lose the pictures when you change screen orientation. Seeing that 99.9% percent of all paper books in the world are in portrait view I would have expected this to be the default view rather than landscape view. Has anybody been able to make a portrait view book that retains the graphics and other bells and whistles or am I just banging my head against the wall?

    In portrait mode the figures and things are always links down the side of the text. The only way I found to stop them disappearing was to insert them in portrait mode. They don't disappear when you change back to landscape, you just have to move them to wherever it is you want them to be. The best workflow is edit in portrait, then switch to landscape for formatting.

  • Album art isn't right only on ipod in portrait view

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my PC and to do that I had to uninstall iTunes from that computer. since then after reinstalling iTunes it has been all messed up. most of my album artwork doesn't match up on my iPod Touch after i sync. Some albums covers have a collage of four album covers (none of which are for that album). Also it keeps having me authorize my computer and keeps asking me to transfer my purchases from my iTouch. It has done this several times! and since im on my last authorized computer it worries me that one day it won't work. Any suggestions?
    it is the right art on iTunes, but on my iTouch in the portrait view its wrong, in landscape its right and when i look at the other songs on the album in portrait the album in the upper corner is wrong as well.

    yes i have tried that several times. i'd never had a problem with album art until i had to uninstall iTunes to install windows 7.

  • Print iCal Calendar - ? Portrait View

    Is there a way to print my iCal Calendar in Portrait View other than saving it as a .pdf file & then printing?
    I cannot find the Portrait - Landscape options when printing in iCal.
    Many thanks!
    ...John

    sp_64,
    Are you found of the Month View look. Because you can print in list view and add more days. How many days you can print on a page depends on the details and how many events you have. But it will give you your location information. I will continue to look into it but that is what I've found so far.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Ipod touch stuck on portrait view - any ideas?

    My iPod touch has started to refuse to switch to Portrait view.
    It will use landscape when the App concerned is set in that view, but otherwise not.
    I can't find where there is any help about this.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Double click Home button to bring up the multitaskbar. Swipe multitaskbar to the right till you see the music icon. Tap the left most icon with the circle arrow to lock/unlock orientation.

  • Stuck on portrait view

    My iPad mini (about a month old) won't automatically change to landscape view in any apps or portals. The menu does, but once I click on an app or portal it reverts back to portrait view. How can I get it to do it automatically as it used to?
    Thanks

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also make sure that you do not have "Rotation Lock" turned on.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • How do I change the formatting of the section text in portrait view?

    I'm attempting to write my first book using iBooks Author.  I've got everything looking pretty good so far in landscape view, but when it changes to portrait view, I don't like the automatic formatting and I can't figure out how to change it.  I chose the "Contemporary" template.  In landscape view, I changed the section title and the default formatting (white over an image) looks fine.  When I change to portrait mode, the section title turns to red, which I would like to change to another color.  However, I can't even select the text in this view.  I can see the style in the paragraph styles drawer, but I don't know how to change it there either.  Is it possible to change the color, and if so, how?  Thanks.

    Already advised....
    Basically,  after each chapter or section is finished in LS, use the Orientation icon, top menu bar to change to portrait and edit content.  Images are automatically reduced in size etc,.
    Fig 1 - I used this to demonstarte  Bookmarks ( in red)  but take this as your start point in LS
    Fig 2
    As you can see  from the Orientation icon shaded in Blue at top - this is Portrait mode.
    The image has  changed to the tempate default - so you need to change the template or drop the same image in.  I had changed the background and removed the top embellisment in LS  so again, you  may need to change your template - that aside the  section title and text are white in both examples.
    Fig 3.
    I have changed the section and text colour.   Apps is in  white intentionally and the bookmark stays in the link colour red
    Fig 4     Back in LS mode - see icon  top menu
    The section colour stayed white,  but the text changed to  yellow
    Fig 5 
    I changed the section colour to red.
    OK thats how changing things affects each mode including the image sizes.
    IF the red section  title ( in LS) is selected - in the styles drawer you can see it - switch to portrait, select the section title and apply the  same style.  Essentially, think you are creating two separate books  and edit the potrait to match - where possible the LS version.
    Apple have deemed some things, like TOC page images cannot  be changed individually in Portrait mode.

  • Why does some text disappear in Design View?

    Hi,
    I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
    I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
    I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
    I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
    You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
    Thanks.

  • Export portrait view of landscape iBooks Author file?

    I'm working with a template in iBooks Author that is landscape layout. I enabled the portrait view (in Inspector > Document). When I preview my book on iPad it flips to portrait orientation -- changes to pure scrolling, images moved to sides of text, etc. -- exactly as it should.
    I want to know if I can export this portrait view (which I can only see on the iPad) as a PDF, or if I'm limited to exporting the landscape view (which is how I work with the file / how my template is set up in iBooks Author).
    I'm pretty sure the answer is the latter, but want to be 100% sure -- matters a lot for the project I'm working on. Haven't been able to find a definitive answer here.
    Thanks!

    iBooks Author has two (2)  options which can be combined or separated.
    You can  choose to disable portrait mode and create your book in landscape only. If you export that to PDF.. it will either show in landscape or you can change in Acrobat or whatever PDF viewer you  use.
    IF you  want to stay with a Portrait layout... then as previously advised,  select a Portrait book template and  edit your content to suite.
    IF you want to have  both options - then you have to create your content to suit the mode you wish to see it viewed.   The top menu allows you to choose which orientation mode is viewed.  
    It take a little  experience or patience to create a book using both modes and to be  honest , I suggest that most "readers" of such  books get confused and / or  bored  by having to change the iPad around to view.
