Is it possible to upload the epub file which was made by other software program.
For example, I had samsung computer, then i made epub file with eBook stylist 1.0 Beta. and tranfer it to Mac Book Pro and upload it using iTunes producer??
Is there anyone who had successful story??
and If you are, what program did you use for epub file??
If nobody were there, is this only way to make epub file using the ibook author??
Windows 7, ibooks author, iTunes producer

iBooks Author cannot make epub files, only the special Apple .ibooks format.
The Apple app for .epub is Pages.
You should be able to upload .epub made with other apps if you follow Apple's requirements. Many people use InDesign or Sigil, etc.
You must have a Mac to upload directly. Otherwise you have to use an Aggregator like Smashwords.
Are you having a specific problem?
Yes, I did try to upload my epub file on ibooks store, but it was failed with this messages.
- Apple’s web service operation was not successful
-Unable to authenticate the package: Mind.itmsp
So, i was searching for solving this problem on Apple Support Communities .
but there was no exact answer to solve this problem.
I made this epub file using ebook stylist with my samsung computer and transfer this file to my friend's Mac Pro.
then had the failed results like above.
I used this epub file when I uploaded it on amazon kindle and google play which mean they have no problem on its own.
Is there any successful story to upload the epub file which was made with other software program without Mac?
I'd like to figure it out what the problem is.
Thank you.

Did your friend give you an account on his machine and then did you use it to create the necessary paid or free books account with the iBookstore/iTunesConnect?
Yes, This is the account of his machine and I created the necessary paid account with the iBooksstore.
I just sent the complete epub file to him via e-mail. and then he uploaded it with iTunes producer 2.9.
and then at the end of uploading process, it was failed with that messages.

Apple did not provide any further details beyond "unable to authenticate"? If not, I think you or your friend needs to try to contact them. See the bottom of this page:
