Books inside of the iBooks App do not open.

Hello:
Ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite I have been unable to open Sample books that I download from the iBook store. Is this a known issue, and is there a fix?
Thank you,

Is it a particular email that you are trying to select ? If it is then it may be a problem with that email so you could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser.
And by closing the Mail app do you mean just minimising or closing it via the iPad's Taskbar ? If you haven't tried closing it via the taskbar then you could also try that : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

When I save my book in iBooksAuthor as .ibooks, it does not open on the Intro Media page. How can I be sure it opens on the first page?

I have bought a apple ipad 1st generation and I would like to put my ebooks on how would I do this the ibook app will not download on this ipad many thanks for any help offered

Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
If the ebooks aren't ibooks, then unless they are digital-rights-management free epubs then you probably won't be able to add them to your computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and sync them to your iPad - in they do have DRM on them then does the store that you got them from have their own app in your computer's iTunes ? If they then you could try the above and see if they have an iOS 5 compatible version available.

My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open.

My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open. I'm on OS 10.10.3. I've tried reinstalling and also various fixes suggested on this forum but to no avail. Incredibly frustrating to be paying monthly for a product that doesn't work.

HT4059 Some books shown on my ibooks library will not open. Error message states that they are incorrecrtly formatted.

I have a number of books on my ibooks that will not open. I get an error message that says that they are incorrectly formatted or in an unrecognized format. What is going on?

Beverly:
Try opening the problem library on the HD, if you still have it, by launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, navigate to the external HD and select it. If it opens then you might be able to get it recognized by iPB. If you don't have the one on the external try the one in the Documents folder.
Does iPhoto Buddy create its own plist file in each of the library folders? If so then maybe it the problem. Remove it from the problem library and try relinking it.
I used to use iPB but changed to iPLM (although I like iPB's interface better) as it was compatible with V6 before iPB was.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

The email app do not open any of displayed messagess.

In attempt to fix the problem I did close the email app and rebooted the device by holding the sleep and home buttons till the apple logo appear. Now the app began to crash after click on the message's title on the left sige barr on the scean. Any solutins exept restoring ftom backup? The iPad is runing "IOS 5.1.1". The email app can not be deleteed, I think.

Why wont my audiobook show up on the book shelf in the ibook app?

I see my books and pdf's, but I am wondering why you cant put the audiobooks on the shelf and also it seems as though you can only see pdf's of books, not both?
Help please,
Tom

My audiobooks go into the iPod app along with other audio content, iBooks is essentially an app for reading. As to why we can only view PDFs or books I'm not sure, it would probably be useful to have combined shelf - you could try leaving feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback (not sure of the best place for feedback as iBooks doesn't appear to have it's category, so I guess iPad).

My IBooks app will not open

Hi, my iBooks app was updated August 23, 2013. I own a IPad 2 with 3G. The app asked to be updated so I did and it never returned. I went into settings and added more storage but it still isn't there. In IBooks setting I see it there but when I hit the open button it will Not open! I have purchased many books and I want access to them. I find this frustrating and I have never had a problem till now with updating my apps. HELP!!!

If you bought more iCloud storage then that gives you extra space in the cloud for your backups, it won't add storage on yoru iPad
Try a soft-reset and see if you can find/open iBooks after the iPad has restarted : 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.

The Music app will not open after I upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 6.

This is a random occurance that started today. I upgraded the phone when IOS6 came out - and the Music app has been giving me troubles since then (crashing; taking a couple of tries to open; etc.). However, I have never had this much trouble getting it to open. I have restarted the phone a number of times. I have hard-closed the music app. All to no avail. It opens for a second, with a blank screen, then closes.

As I mentioned in my post, I did restart the phone a number of times, and this did not solve the problem.
Restart ≠ Reset. Try the Reset.
Apart from a Reset and closing the app, without your computer, there's not much you can do. I suspect there's a problem with your music database, which I think can only be solved with access to your computer.

HT5953 why will it not open (it referring to the ibooks app on my macbook pro)

my ibooks app will not open, not even load

Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

Can I develop an iOS app that can download multiple free iBooks that I publish and make them available within the iBooks app?

Is it possible for a self-developed iOS app to download iBooks from our server and make the books available to the iBooks app?
My organization is evaluating publishing some free training manuals / textbooks as iBooks made with Apple's "iBooks Author" software. We don't necessarily want to use the iTunes Store for distribution because of the semi-sensitive nature of the content. To distribute the books to users with iPads, we've thought of using MDM software, a webpage, or an iOS app. The reasoning behind an iOS app is that the app would be a "download manager", making it much easier for a user to download all 42 books all at once. A user would install our "free training manual download manager" iOS app and use it to authenticate to a our server app that would serve the books, the end result being the books available via the iBooks app.
Thanks,
Ted

Hi Kappy,
Actually Apple lets self-publishers distribute iBooks outside of the iTunes Store, as long as the iBooks are free (no cost to user).
What I'm wondering is if it's possible for a custom iOS app to side-load iBooks so that they're available to a user within the iBooks app.
If not, we'll either post the iBooks for download from our website or we'll use MDM software to push the iBooks to MDM-enrolled iPads.

IBook app, does not start !

Hi
The iBook app does not start !
I can't get into the library, it takes a minute at the gray background without shelfs, and then goes out.
I tried somethings like:
-remove books by iTunes and re sync them.
-reset the phone
-turning off and on the phone
but still have problem.

Howdy Safa,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone's iBooks application not being able to launch, and you have already tried resetting and restarting the iPhone, I would suggest the next step would be to back up any data on your iPhone and restore it as a new device. See this article for directions -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
