Hello,
I created book1.iba and sent to ipad as email. Opened in ibooks and everything is fine.
Now i copied book1.iba to book2.iba and made entire book. When I sent the book2.iba thru email ibooks open book1
Where wrong wire got attached and how to untangle this bug ?
Thanks. 😕
itunes-OTHER, Windows 7
Did you delete book1.ibook off the iPad first/yet?
I have not tried but if I want book1 also on my book shelf in ipad then what I need to do ?
I did all digging and made sure all renaming of book1 to book2 is done correctly by doing "get info", etc.
I do not want to loose book1 and also book2 from my ipad.
😕
You said you copied content from one book to another....that's different than changing a book's name.
Yes I made copy of book1.iba drop to another folder and rename that to book2.iba.
Also when I open book2 in ipad that came as email attachement in ipad. I get bonus : study cards. (Something I marked in book1 but not exactly same as in book1)
I worked hard to create book2, it looks OK on on MAC but changes it attributes and look when open in ipad-ibooks.
I have similar issue. I think the culprit is when you duplicated from the first book, the iBook's hidden ID number remains the same on the second book. Therefore iBook App gets confuse because both have the same ID numbers. I think the remedy for this is to create a new book from the template instead of duplicate it from your previous book. So that iBook Author will randomly generate a new ID number for your second book and it won't conflict with your first book.
yes that worked!! The original was build off a template file. The new one I created I used a "save as" to create my new ibook.
So I didn't need to rebuild my books I created I opened them. Saved them out as a template file. Then open the template file and exported it as an ibook file again.
that did the trick. Tested on a few people now by sending out through dropbox
Wow. Good to know. That's even a better solution than building everything from scratch. Thanks for the finding.
Thanks, this was the issue--actually knew about this issue and still had it bite me in the rear.
That worked for me too! I had to Save as template, open the template and then save as a document (iBooks Authoer document). I then opened that and exported as .ibooks and moved to my iPad.
Thanks!!!
ibooks author on ipad get wrong book
