Apples free interactive book creation app iBooks Author was just released, allowing for anyone to make multi-touch iBooks for iPad. Unfortunately its officially for Mac OS X 10.7 only, and if you try to install it on Snow Leopard, youll get an error message. With a little work we can get around that error message and install and run iBooks Author in Mac OS X 10.6.8. This is not supported by Apple, although the app appears to work fine and if you just want to explore the application its more than enough. If you plan on publishing with iBooks Author, you should use OS X Lion though. From the Mac OS X desktop, hit Command+Shift+G and enter /System/Library /CoreServices/ Locate SystemVersion.plist and make a backup copy of it to the desktop Launch the Terminal and type the following:
sudo nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

Locate the keys ProductUserVisibleVersion and ProductVersion and change their strings from 10.6.8 to 10.7.2 Hit Control+O to save the file Now launch the Mac App Store and find and download iBooks Author After iBooks Author is finished downloading do not launch it yet, instead open /Applications/ and find the app, then right-click on it and choose Show Package Contents

Locate keys ProductUserVisibleVersion and ProductVersion again, but change their strings from to 10.7.2 back to 10.6.8 Save SystemVersion.plist Launch iBooks Author The iBooks Author icon will probably keep its strike through it, but the app opens fine and everything seems to work. You may also need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5.3 if you want to sync the iBooks to an iPad.
