iTunes Producer Import Errors

i tried to upload again today using my Mac OSX lion Machine

it has a new error about a malformed - badly done epub

grrr

the same file uploaded through my Snow Leopard machine has no issues at all

uploaded the file no problem

woohoo

so i went back to my lion machine and tried the terminal thing and it refused to do it because it said i needed a password.

since my lion machine doens't have a password...

i have decided that i will backup that hard drive and then use time machine to set the Lion machine back to March 25th 2012

and hope that fixes the issue

for the record -

i ahve had a support ticket in with the Kindle a**hats since January 8th they can't solve

Open the Terminal application, add the following string until Terminal:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5

sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0

This helped me to get rid of the "Java 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7 is required. Currently, java is the default java version. Please upgrade

."-error.

Thanks!

(Now if only changing metadata of existing iBooks would work...)

i have some breathing room cause i ahve a 2nd machine with snow leopard installed

i would suggest using time machine to go back because that metadata error (in my case anyway) was some weird hiccup connected to this last java update (i know that cause the file uploaded fine from my snow leoard machine)

can you go back in time machine to prior to the java update?

I had the same problem with iTunes Producer: My book would not upload to the Apple store with this error:

Java 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7 is required. Currently, java is the default java version. Please upgrade.

In my research on the web, I have found that there is a bug with the latest Java upgrade from Apple. This bug prevents the iTunes Producer scripts from connecting up with the Apple store.

Thanks to mmadness quoting an Apple email that explains a workaround to create a symlink.

I typed the following into the Terminal and hit return:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

This command moves me to the correct folder.

Then I typed in and then hit return:

sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5

And I got this rather intimidating response:

WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss

or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your

typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.

To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.

Password:

I entered my mac's admin password, hit return, and it accepted the command.

Then I typed in the second command and hit return:

sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0

This command was accepted as well.

I quit Terminal and started Producer. The delivery went right through. Thanks to all and I hope this helps.

Try turning off the firewall and do a software update(there's a 2nd java bug update.)

See: System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Firewall.

I got the same error, turn of the firewall and I was able to upload my book.

Hope this helps...

How do I find Preferences in iTunes Producer?

I cannot see it anywhere on the menu when I open Producer. All I get are the options to Open Package, Create New Package or Look UpMetadata.

What version of iTP are you using..? All mac applications try to put prefs in the main menu as a common location.
