Book Palette Perked Up with 5 New Templates

February 15, 2013
It’s been a while since we last updated Book Palette, our set of templates designed to enhance Apple’s iBooks Author app for creating and self-publishing iPad books. We are full of remorse for treating you this way and happy to announce 5 new templates to help you design your own lovely books.

So, now Book Palette gives you a total of 25 templates for creating e-books in various styles—from glossy business publications to cookbooks. The 5 new ones range from the refined Decorum, to the elegant and rich Royal Title, to the colorful Taste Buds.

All templates contain the full range of standard section and page layouts provided in the iBooks Author app, including covers, chapter pages, text pages, tables of contents, glossary pages, and more. You can easily recolor, move, or remove most elements in Book Palette. Type or paste in your own text, add and remove text boxes, change the fonts—basically, do your own thing. Stock images are easily replaceable with your own photos or pictures. Gallery, video, and other widgets featured in iBooks Author are very neat and also have a matching look, which you can change for your own liking.

You can take a look at Book Palette samples here and purchase it for $9.99 here. Just make sure you have downloaded and installed iBooks Author first!

Data Loss Issue in Money for iOS

It took a short bout of panic but we finally discovered that, due to a glitch, bad moon, or some other unpredictable setback, the App Store builds of Money for iPhone and iPad contain a bug that prevents them from detecting files on iCloud. The data is not gone but cannot be accessed from iOS devices. So we rebuilt the same code, and now it works like a charm. I’m a writer myself and have no idea what all this means but the IT guys tell me that, in a nutshell, there was a problem that wasn’t their fault, and now it’s gone.

We’ve already submitted the iPhone and iPad updates for Apple’s approval and got an emergency ticket to get the approval real fast. Hopefully, you’ll be able to access your iCloud files within a couple of days.

Sorry for whatever happened!

Where Is My Data File?

That’s the question many of you ask after the latest update to all three of the Money apps. Here’s how it works.

In the previous version of Money, those who use it on more than one device kept their data files on iCloud. For some of you the sync worked, for others it didn’t. In any case, now that the iCloud sync has been replaced with the Wi-Fi method, Money needs to retrieve your data file back from iCloud to your devices.

The data will migrate to the first device that you will update. For instance, if you start updating your Money apps by downloading the new version for Mac, your Money document will be downloaded to your Mac. It will no longer be accessible from your iPhone and/or iPad until you sync them with your Mac using the good old Wi-Fi method.

If the data migration seems to be taking too long, try killing the app and relaunching it. Money will try to retrieve your data on each relaunch until it finally succeeds.

If you cannot access the document from the Mac version, you can trigger the data migration by selecting File > Download from iCloud.

As usual, if you have any other problems, please email us at support@jumsoft.com.
