iBooks author version 2.4.1 or 2.5

My iBook, author, dialog box says 'about' this is version 2.4.1.  The MAS said that the version the most recent is 2.5, but it does not show an available update.

I have NOT upgraded yet to Sierra, so it is possible that 2.5 is available after update, but I want to assure you, that is the only question.

SHOULD I see an update of 2.4.1 2.5 of El Capitan?

Hello

It's an interesting question you have posted. I'm in Yosemite, and while they inspected the updates in the Mac App Store application, it offers me an update for iBA. I've been using version 2.4.1.

For what it's worth, I do not anticipate upgrading to El Capitan and probably moved Sierra on this hard drive.

Please let us know what you have found and how you went. I am interested in updates version for iBA.

Thank you!

  • iBooks opens old version of iBooks file exported from iBooks author

    I use iBooks author to create an iBook for my university course.

    At the moment, I'm just making small changes to a near-perfect (ha!) iBooks author file → export to iBooks → check the iBook looks right.

    The problem: when I open the "new" iBook opens an older version from before the new changes in iBooks author.

    I guess that this window iBooks (which displays "All books" and categories of books) maintains the wrong version. I tried to rename the iBook (my thinking that it would be understandable if iBooks has opened an older version if it had the same name). Nope. I deleted the book from iBooks. Nope.

    The only thing I have found to work is to put the iBook on another machine.

    Any ideas please?

    It would be useful that you said your version of the author of the ib.  It is a common behavior of not doing this and makes it much harder to understand.  but since you are a University Professor, and I happen to be in your class, I'll leave you on the other slide you might miss.  I hope that I've hidden my identity well, but you do not have.

    I have to be a bit of a charlie chan and make some assumptions, but as I reread your post, I think I know what you're saying and what is the problem.

    1. you say that you export to ibooks.  What this does is put the .ibooks file, where you choose and that's probably put on your desk or in one of your folders created.  you say that you check the ibook and it looks right.  It was a key piece of information.  you check this exported version.

    2. then, you say you open new ibook and more talk about ibooks window shows all...  I am restore you have now switched to watch your book in the ibook software library.  context is everything.  you did not go to the book on the Bookshelf.  you left it on your desktop, somehow to say.  to get it in your library, use the preview for mac.  Then you can go to the ibooks software and see the current version.

    There is little reason to do these two steps (perhaps probably a few times in a while).  the best in my opinion to just listen to excerpts from mac and check it out via the ibook software.  If students, including me, will look at the book on their iPad, you get a glimpse to the iPad also once in awhile to make sure everything is working it.  who has not worked for me, but it alternates the ways to re.  Tom g., probably the best ally on this site in my opinion, showed me how to do this several months ago.  Once on a mac, you can sync to iPad.  It's a little complicated, but you can understand, and if not, you can always ask.

    hope that my assumptions of how I read your post is correct and you will give me some consideration in my note to help you.  I know I missed a few classes, but it seems that everyone is getting sick in my extended family, I got a few court appearances due to jumping the turnstile, etc and when I appear and was late, trains don't work that well.  the fact that I had a hot cup of coffee in my hand by way of derogation.  I really have to go this class to keep my scholarship.  thanking you in advance.

  • How can I make the adjustable text size in iBooks author?

    I use iBooks author (2.4.1) on an iMac (end of 2015), El Capitan (10.11.6) running. I would like to know if there is a way for the size of the font to be adjustable using the toolbar at the top of the screen in the iBook resulting?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I had trouble with this question, too, as I began to use iBooks author earlier. From what I've learned, the ability to offer adjustable fonts for the reader / end-user is based on the original model that we built our book on. But there is more that we have the choice in versions of model e-pub and multi-touch included those with iBA. I'm building a Multi Touch iBook which is based on the iBA model included for the landscape layout - there is no support in this one for the reader change the font. I found that for me, I had to choose between: fixed layout, content can be layout and multi-touch (exclusive iBooks). Given that the multi-touch functionality is very important for me because my iBook project a lot of nested widgets Gallery, lack of adjustable characters was acceptable (to me).

    I know there are items online somewhere at Apple, but I couldn't find them easily. I found another article that can help you:

  • Export EPUB 3 IBooks author?

    It's great that iBooks author offers the possibility to export to EPUB and iBooks.  But what version of the standard EPUB export to? EPUB 3 differs significantly from 2 EPUB in its ' underlying structure and capacity.

  • How to export InDesign EPUB iBooks author by Proofer book?

    While working on iMac using OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite) and Id CC can't seem to export the document to EPUB, to import into iBooks from Apple author, but when trying to use "Proofer Book" Apple (version 1.0.1 (57) it says encrypted file (the file EPUB Id) and it can not evidence.) Y at - it a way to "décrypte" the document Id EPUB or is it some kind of DRM problem?

    IBook Apple oven is a quick way to evidence recomposable EPUB on your iPad or iPhone, but does not support the encryption of fonts that InDesign is even if it is valid. You will need to re-export from InDesign, but disable "Include embeddable fonts" when exporting if you want to use.

    However, with the Mavericks or Yosemite (10.9/10.10), iBook Proofer is a lot less necessary than in previous versions of Mac OS X, since these later operating systems comes with iBooks as a program on your Mac. Before it didn't, so people used iBook incubator instead of constantly syncing with iTunes in order to get new versions on the iPad to the evidence.

    iBook Proofer has nothing to do with iBooks author, which is the creation of Apple program to create their own format ebook owner called an iBook.

    If you try actually get an InDesign file into iBooks author (as it can import a Word file), then you need to export your InDesign to IDML file. Honestly don't see no interest in IDS to EPUB export and then import the EPUB, but I could be wrong, I have not compared or tested both methods. Really differently, your book will look like a .ibook like a .epub.

  • iBooks author 2.1.3 obligation

    I received this email from Apple, it says at the end:

    ***********

    iBooks author 2.1.3 obligation
    From September 1, 2014, new or updated updated multi-touch books submitted to the iBook Store must be created with iBooks author 2.1.3 or later.

    Multi-touch books shipped before this date will be always considered by Apple or, if already approved, will remain available on the iBooks Store.

    ***********

    Do you know if it means that all THE books, or those created with iBooks author now need to upgrade version.

    If they allow only created with iBooks, author of books, that would shake the industry so I understand.

    Thank you.

    I don't have a copy of the Apple, rules of creation, but in their ads they always connect 'Mutli-Touch' books created with iBooks author. I don't think that is excluding the 3 EPUB files. I think they say that if you use iBooks author, you must use at least version 2.1.3 or later version.

  • iBooks author - TOC shows the empty entries for table - how to stop this?

    Hello

    I spent hours trying to find an answer to this.

    My book has a few tables - nothing wrong with that.  I have a front cap of the table - that's what I want in the table of contents.

    iBooks author shows instead, empty entries whenever he comes across a table, that is hopeless.

    I just want the topic as indicated above - 2.1.  I don't want 2.2 which is the table.

    Does anyone have an idea how to do this, please?

    If this isn't the case, iBooks author is desperate for any book that contains the tables.

    See you soon,.

    Mike

    Hello

    I found an article from Apple which may help to answer your question and I pasted the link below. I think that you will have to 'say' iBA this is or is not part of the Table of contents (TOC) and's done it with the Inspector tool, Document tab, section TOC. Look down at the bottom of this window to the sign and arrow down to allow the addition of other document settings in the table of contents, or remove some.

    I hope that this help =)

  • Why can't I create a new epub file in a model of epub on ibooks author?

    I try to import an epub I created on another platform in iBooks author in order to edit it there and re-export as an epub. When you choose file > new epub file and I choose a model, epub models are not available. No idea why? No work around? I don't see why I can't create an epub from an any epub.

    I don't think that iBA has the functionality you need.  You start with a model of epub and add things to it.

    You must use another application to edit your original epub.  Apple won't do anything for this AFAIK.

    Simply because Apple makes the promotion of iBooks does not necessarily that they are available in all locations.

  • Do I need a separate password for ibooks author?

    I am a writer and wanted to try one of my creations of ibooks. I have an account and put everything up very well a few weeks ago.

    When I try to connect to iTunes Connect (page along the way to publish), I use my ID Apple and my Apple password (that I had to change a few times to try to get here) unfortunately I can't go through this screen. I downloaded the software "director" and installed.

    I'm stuck in the middle and no password works. However, when I use my password to access my iTunes account, it works.

    Is there a special treatment or somehow add a strange password in ibooks author who doesn't stop me?

    Any help would be appreciated as long as this lasts for a few days now, and statements of Support have me sent in circles and do not solved the problem.

    I have a document of word processing with the text in multiple fonts in there. I would like to be able to copy/paste in iBooks author to make an epub file, but when I do, he loses the formatting of fonts. Manually change fonts after copy/paste will be extremely painful, there are many passages of different fonts in the document.

    Is there a way to keep text fonts in paste into iBooks author?

    The fonts are not unusual, they are all built-in fonts that iBooks author is able to display by default.
