Apps & iBook

I downloaded iBooks and a book as well as other apps and after syncing with iTunes, I cannot find them on my iPad although they show up in iTunes under Devices. They are not shown under my main iTunes lists.
Have you disconnected the iPad from your computer since you downloaded the content? On my system the iBookstore selected books loaded immediately to the iPad and only later, probably during the "backing up" phase of reconnecting to the computer, transferred the iPad ePub files to my "Books" area in iTunes.

I suppose all you can do is be content with the limitations of your old iBook G4 running Tiger. It would be possible to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard, but I would not recommend doing that because that secondhand software is quite expensive, so giving little improvement over what you have.
If you desire a more modern operating system, you will need a more modern 'Intel' computer. I expect you realise that and are simply seeking confirmation of that.

My app iBooks keeps crashing non-stop after I allow all internet connections that iBooks asked for! I have tried to update OS Maverick, I've tried to restart etc. but it's just keeps crashing.. Please help.

Hello there, Goraksanat.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good pointers for troubleshooting your issue:
OS X Mavericks: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly

Additionally you can try an SMC reset as it is recommended for:
Applications may not function correctly or may stop responding after being opened.

Does the ipad mini support "swipe to turn page" in reading apps / ibooks?

Title says it all...
Thanks

For iBooks, yes, swiping to the left or right will turn the page. As for "reading apps" it depends on the app (yes iOS would support it if the app vendor chooses to include it).

I've upgraded OS X to 10.9.4, why still couldn't find app: iBooks for MAC?

According to the introduction of OS X 10.9.4, it should include the application: iBooks for MAC, but I couldn't find this app after upgrade the OS X.

Did you resolve this issue. I too cannot locate it after upgrading to osx Mav. Where is it?

Ipad app ibook

Hi can anyone plz help me I av downloaded iBook app and it's not on either page of my home pages! If anyone can help me find where it is or how it goes on there I would be very grateful! Thanks everyone xx

Other people have had a similar problem with iBooks, and they've needed to do a restart for it to appear (I've no idea why it seems to affect the iBooks app) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

New iPads for my kids. Best way to share certain apps, iBooks, music, and to keep them away from inappropriate content.

We purchased ipad minis for my two kids this Christmas (ages 6 & 8). I have been working on setting them up so they are ready to use. I created gmail accounts and Apple ID accounts to use for messaging and FaceTime only. I put restrictions so they can not use email, Facebook, Twitter, Safari, etc. I plan on using a kid friendly browsing such as Mobicip. The part I am getting hung up is being able to put certain things on their iPads from my wife's iTunes account. We have decided to use her account to sync with their new iPads. Obviously, the kids will not have access to her password on iTunes. She has very few game apps on her ipad. I would like to add fun appropriate kid games to her iTunes account to sync to their iPads, but not my wife's. The same thing with iBooks and music. Some of my wife's books are not kid appropriate. I know you can create playlists to share music. What is the best way to go about setting up iTunes? Any other things I am forgetting to keep inappropriate material from curious kids.
Thanks.

I don't want her to authorize to my iTunes account. I set up a separate one for her.
You'll have to authorize her system to your iTunes Store account if there is content other than music that you want her to still have. Movies, app, etc. are locked to the account through which they were purchased, so if there is any such content she wants, you'll either have to authorize to your iTunes account or she'll have to repurchase that content. Please note that authorizing her computer to your account will not allow her to purchase new content through your account.
If there's nothing but music in iTunes Plus format that you plan to give her, then the issue of authorization doesn't apply.
Regards.

IBook Author - does it produce iBooks, Apps or both?

iBooks Author is capable of creating an interactive experience that blurs the line between book and app.
For example:
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
It is located in the APP store, yet it falls under
the books category.
However it doesn't appear in the Bookstore?
http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/fantastic-flying-books-mr./id438052647?mt=8
We are using iBooks to produce an interactive multi-touch book.
Do all iBook authored products appear in the IBooks store?
Is it possible to produce a multi-touch book with iBooks Author and be listed in the APP store?
Thank you.

iBooks Author creates a .iBooks file, which is used with the iOS app iBooks 2 on an iPad.
Apps are built using Xcode.
I have an app in the store that is in the Books category...the trick is to not call it a 'book' when submitting - mine is actually a user manual for a product. If you submit an app and call it a book, the review team tends to tell you to draft a book instead, rather than making an app, and submit to that part of the store.
You can't put an iBook (file/product) in the App Store as an iOS app, sorry.

Ibooks app won't install

When I click install on my apps ibooks starts & then reverts to "install". When I try to sink to my ipod touch & I get message ibooks is not downloaded...

Hey there Sahdvi,
It sounds like you are wanting to install the iBooks app, but when you try it does not install. I would start by quitting all the running apps on your iPod Touch with:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

My Apple Apps are unresponsive after installing Mavericks. iBooks, Maps, App Store, iCal, etc. will open, but freeze

After installing Mavericks, I found that my Apple Apps (iBooks, App Store, Maps, iCalendar, iBooks, etc) will open but freeze or are none responsive. I have reinstalled Mavericks, did a recovery and reinstall, almost everything that I could find in other discussions. They only thing that helped was the recovery, until I tried to reinstall Mavericks. Someone please help.....

OS X Recovery does restore OS X meaning Mavericks.
Make sure there's enough storage space ...
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
OS X Recovery does require a broadband high speed internet connection.

IBooks App 2.1.1 on i4S cannot read .ibooks format

I bought a file / iBook named as OSLionhints.ibooks on a DVD
I was able to import this file into iTunes
But
- it is still not possible to play this .ibooks with a OSX SW / App
- it is not possible to play it in iTunes / on a MAC although this file is feasible in Mediathek -> books
What confused me fully:
- in the readme file on the DVD it is mentioned that I have to sync this file from iTunes to iPad and than I would be able to play it with App iBooks 2.0
I have no iPad, only a iPhone 4S
- I am not able to sync the iTunes book .ibooks from iTunes to the i4S !?!?
- .ibooks is feasible in Meadiathek -> books, but not feasible in the iTunes Device i4S folder !?!?!?!?
=> it seems to me that the iPad App iBooks 2.0 has a higher perfomance in reading more formats than the iPhone iBooks 2.1.1 format
==> it seems to be crazy that also the file / iBook .ibooks is nowhere feasible in iTunes Device iPhone sync folder !?!?!?!
===> After diskussions with 3 different Apple hotline "experts" I got different answers, but no solution to get the file.ibooks played on MAC or iPhone !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I think there is a pdf reader listed here:
apps for ios 4.2.1: Apple Support Communities

While reading PDF document using Speak Screen option, iBooks doesn't turn pages automatically

I have been using the speak screen option in iOS 8 to read books and pdf documents in iBooks app. iBooks app turned pages automatically and kept on reading the screen till i updated my phone to iOS8.3. Now, the app stops reading the screen once the page is completed. I have to stop my vehicle, unlock phone, open iBooks app, swipe down with two fingers. It's irritating.
Earlier, I have read dozens of books and pdf documents using this function while doing exercise or routine tasks. now it's not possible unless someone helps.
Thanks for your support in advance.

@Mukeshnnms
Unfortunately, I am having precisely the same issue since updating to iOS 8.3 with my iPhone 5s.
I just filled out a bug report here > https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, which I've often read on these forums is the best way to get some resolution. I don't know if you read the list of "fixes" for 8.3 or not (here: iOS 8.3), but, it includes the following:
"Fixes an issue in Speak Screen where speech will not start again after pausing"
So...apparently, in fixing THAT problem, they broke something else. At least for some of us...
<Note to self: WAIT even longer than usual to do updates, read about bugs first.>

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.
