Will iBook Author ever be updated?

Seems like the app has not been updated regularly?

APPLE do things to aid themselves....not other online publishing outlets or makers of Phablets or craplets.
IF you want your books on other outlets... you need to use the software that will enable you to do that. QuarkExpress, inDesign, even Pages and there is Blurb and others similar.
Many users of iBA also use these to create/duplicate/replicate whatever they do using iBA to publish to other outlets. Apple does not have a problem with that or where its millions of self publishers go to publish their other versions.
Apple created iBA to make books for iPads and now Macs with iBooks installed thats it. Apple will update iBA IF they develop something new.. maybe a few widgets or other innovations - but going off history, I am not going to anticipate anything new. That said none of us know what it going to be new after the next Keynote to for the iPhone - talk is of new iPads and soon to be a new OS..... maybe with bigger screens.... Apple may allow ibooks to accept made bu iBA books.

IBooks Author and Software Update Service

iBooks Author is not included in the Software Update Service list of available downloads. Does anyone know how to add as an available update within OS X Server?
It doesn't seem like the update service has iBooks Author in it's update catalog.

Hi
You enter the server's hostname or fully qualified domain name as defined in whatever you're using for providing DNS Resolution for your network. If you want to know the Server's hostname launch Terminal on the Server itself and issue "hostname" without the quotes. If we use server.theschool.sch.uk as an example the url would look like this:
http://server.theschool.sch.uk:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Does this help?
The servername.local refers to the Server's Bonjour name. Bonjour names don't resolve to IP addresses.

Can't open my book in progress (an ibooks author file) after updating to ibooks author v1.1. Help!

I've been working on an ibook in author now for 2 months. I've had some upds and downs with the format, but finally have a product that's close to finished. I updated my ibooks author software to 1.1 yesterday and now I can't open my file. Please help!!!!

I maked the ebook on my laptop, not on a Ipad. And now I want to eksport it and burn it on a dvd, så others can use it as an ebook.
The only people who can read your book in .ibooks format are people with an iPad, and an iPad cannot read a dvd. So you should probably export it as .pdf.

Will iBooks Author become available to non US tax TIN authors?

Mac iBooks Author would enjoy far greater appeal and author take up by non US citizens if the T&Cs facilitated support of 'non US' Host country Tax Numbers and bank accounts. Are there any Apple plans to provide a level of localized support in Apple Store based countries, including UK and Australia?

Apple doesn't discuss future plans. But I think you're asking if the App Store will change in such a way that I wouldn't hold my breath for, sorry.
As always, feel free to use the iBA Feedback menu to make requests for things you'd like to see added to that application, etc.

Will iBooks author support webgl in widgets?

It would be great to include interactive 3D games in iBooks Author widgets. But Javascript is going to need some help to accomplish this. Does anyone know if webgl will be supported or if there some other way of rendering 3D graphics in the iBooks widgets.

Don't be ridiculous Dan-o... Why can't we get a 3D character to describe the book for children? a character that uses Javascript and WebGL shading to draw..?
iAds does WebGL...
Safari 5.1 now integrates a WebGL Mode to test...
Please add support for WebGL APPLE!

When will iBooks Author be available for iPad?

I read on apple.com in early July that we will be able to create iBooks on the iPad, I was wondering when this will be available, or if it already is.

Apple has no information in this regard on their website and the app only shows computability with desktops at this time.

Will iWeb application ever be updated ? Alternatives ?

What a nice application! Today for the first time I was able to publish a five page website in just ten minutes without reading any documentation. Will Apple ever update this iWeb ?
If not, what is an alternative application the same or better than iWeb so one can FTP to a hosting website ?

No, I have not ever used Rage Webhosting, but I have used the product EverWeb with another host.
I think the reason that EverWeb was offered with Rage Software hosting was so that things worked better on their host as opposed to others - it was meant to be along the lines of iWeb and MobileMe hosting - so things like blog comments would only work if the site was hosted on MobileMe etc, however, I believe the Rage had a change of heart, so at first the contact form would not work on anything other than their own hosting, but they soon changed this.
Anyway, there is nothing to stop you going with GoDaddy or Blue Host - they may offer more benefits than Rage. I current have hosting with GoDaddy, Siteground and 1and1 and have uploaded an EverWeb site with Cyberduck with no problems at all.
The reason that I have used others hosts is so that I can change the platform that I use if I want to and GoDaddy, Siteground and 1and1 all support the CMS's like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, which I have currently been using - Drupal is my favourite at present.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to go with.
Other software worth taking a look at and that had come out with new editions very recently are Freeway Pro/Expresss 7 and Flux V. Perhaps a steeper learning curve though.

Nobody can answer that question, we will have to wait for Apple to announce.

Will keynote / iWork ever be updated

My business is built around keynote. I think its one of the best programs I have ever used and runs circles around the competition. It hasn't been updated is almost 3 years. Is apple writing off iWork? Any apple people have any feedback on this?

Please buy and download the current version of Keynote from Mac App Store, you can also find Pages and Numbers in the App Store. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keynote/id409183694?mt=12

Will the Studio ever be Updated?

Since Final Cut Studio X came out, I personally have not seen it in action, but most of the reviews say is not as good as it's predesesor, most of the feedbackI have found complains about getting a PRO software for editing and making it Home use basically, most of the feedback I've seen says they will switch to Adobe Premier, which I personally have not used since FC is one of the best suites I have used. As codecs and video changes, will FCP 7 be the last of it's kind? will we all have to switch to premiere?

OK...doesn't work at all for NETWORK television and feature films. You won't see RAISING HOPE or CRIMINAL MINDS edited with FCX. I highly doubt you will see any reality shows, any narrative shows on ANY network, documentaries (or reality) on History, Discovery or National Geographic edited with FCX. MAJOR NATIONAL networks Ben...not local TV.
FCX is a very closed environment, and major productions require workflows that include sound mixing outside of the editing application...FCX doesn't allow for that. Not even with the update.
Local TV can fiddle with it all it wants, but high end network shows, high end and mid-range cable programming (many of whom used FCP 7) won't be adopting FCX anytime soon. It simply doesn't do what we need done. And the key to that is TRACKLESS editing that some engineer at Apple seemed to think was old, a thing of the past, and useless. Far from it.
Output to tape...and capture from tape...is still a BIG part of network and cable workflows. Many places (Discovery, History, E!) still require tape as a deliverable. Apple for some reason thinks they shouldn't be bothered with having to include that, so they leave that to third party vendors. Oh, but we need split track audio mixes. ROLES...sorry, weak attempt to fix this. I need to output a stereo mix, a Mix minus music, Music, SFX, Narration...all at the same time. And the sound mix done by a professional mixer. FCX doesn't allow for that.
SO...if you want to find work on network TV, cable TV shows...documentary, narrative, reality shows...national networks...or feature film....AVID is the main choice to go with. Premiere Pro is making in-roads, and might be the software that replaces most of the FCP 7 setups companies have.
Sorry Ben...you are in that vast pool of low end users that love FCX. But those of us in the very small 2% who do what the country watches on cable...find FCX lacking pretty severely. And you won't find it in use here anytime soon.

Will iWork / Numbers ever get updated to '12 or '13?

We're still on Numbers '09 and Apple just had another event which did not announce anything for iWork!
Numbers has been updated for iCloud and Retina, but the core functionality has not been touched in year.
The UI needs a total overall. The number of keystrokes required to basic things (e.g., add a border) compared to Excel is horrible. The UI constantly wants to change row size when I'm trying to select a cell. Formula entry with the cursor is very challenging. There is no way to get stock quotes directly into Numbers. The list goes on and on.
Excel for Windows is still so far superior so I have to keep running parallels. This is 2012, time for Apple to produce a decent spreadshet!

Hi Boat Guy,
As Peggy mentioned while I was re-reading teh terms of use, Apple does not actively monitor these forums, and Apple employees generally do not post here. Monitoring that is done is almost entirely concerned with compliance with the terms of use.
You might want to take a look at these again, with particular attention to section 2, regarding submissions. There's a link at the bottom of most (all?) windows, or you could simply click this one: Apple Support Communities Terms of Use

Barry

Will iWork apps ever be updated for Apple's 'Open In...' API?

I use Apple's 'Open In...' feature from DropBox to send documents to Pages/Numbers. Then, Apple doesn't support their own 'Open In...' API feature to send back to DropBox, Adobe or other.
Feedback submitted at apple.com/feedback but still =(
So I email edited documents to myself, and then from Mail.app open back into DropBox. So unnecessary.
Really? Or am I missing something.

1) I don't use drop box, does it actually open numbers files? Or just store them? If its storing them, then open in would not make sense.
2) You would have to make a good business case for apple to want to open their proprietary iWork formats in other competitors applications for editing. They want you to use their app to do it.

IBooks Author books and iPhone 6 Plus

Updating TOC in iBooks Author

Change a chapter title does not update the TOC page.
Any way to edit that title from the TOC?
thanks

I just started using iBooks Author and ran into trouble when adding a hyperlinked page of chapters as a "Section", not knowing what other way to add it since I didn't want it labeled as a chapter. In the process, the TOC stopped showing anything more than the Section I added, with the visual page view and dotted slider thing only showed one blank page and nothing else. After driving myself crazy for a while and finding nothing useful in comments to similar problems here, I started hunting around at the bottom of the TOC window where those little blue arrows are. They didn't have any effect, but when I clicked on the little percent window next to them, I came up with a pop up menu saying different things including fit page or something like that. When I checked that choice, lo and behold, my slider thingy worked again and showed all my chapters again. Still wish they would provide an automatically hyperlinked Table Of Contents page like normal books have so you don't have to scroll through a bunch of pictures of pages to find what you are looking for, but it isn't too hard to make one bookmarking the text at the beginning of each chapter and hyper linking your chapter list to it. Still a new user, but at least I got the thing working again. Don't know if this will help others at all since there seem to be a variety of problems with figuring out how to use the TOC. I guess I'll have to buy a book on how to use the thing. Who ever invented help menus forgot that you actually have to explain how to do things to be of any help. Mostly it isn't at all obvious.
