Submitting update to iBookstore

JCarig · 06-03-2011, 03:13 PM

Does anyone know how to submit an updated version of a book already available in the iBookstore?

This is what I do:

Start iTunes Producer; Choose Open Package (instead of New Book); find the ISBN for the book you want to update; open that book; and make whatever changes you wish.

Then deliver it again. It should show "live" again on STATUS (immediately-no wait time) with a green light.

Hope it works for you!!

When I opened the existing package all the fields were empty and I had to enter them all over again. Does that happen to you? The whole process takes forever.

Yes, unfortunately, you do have to enter it again. However, the next time you make changes (like if you want to change price or upload a new cover), everything seems to be there. It seems to just be the first time you make a change that you have to enter the info. about the book again, etc.

Glad it worked for you!!
