  • IBook randomly turns off *when plugged in,* how long can my iBook last me?

    O Sages of Mac Wisdom,
    Help! I've been Googling and looking at forums all over the place for help. I have seen many posts about other iBooks shutting off randomly when they are on battery power, but have not seen any that answered questions about iBooks turning off when they are plugged in. It happened four times in the span of two and a half weeks and has stopped (no incidents for the past two weeks). I have reset my PRAM and PMU. Why would it be turning off on its own when it is plugged in?
    Second question: my battery only lasts for about a 45 minutes from a 99% charge. Here's the information on it:
    Battery Information:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 1438
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 1544
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 95
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 934
    Voltage (mV): 12508
    I bought a new battery from ifixit.com, rated at "good" condition, and it will last for an hour until it gets to 75%, then drops down to 0% in five minutes and the iBook goes to sleep. It could be just that they gave me a crappy one, but here's the information on it anyway:
    Battery Information:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 5236
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 5804
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 91
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 962
    Voltage (mV): 12511
    Thoughts?
    Final question: I have some extra money now, and I won't after July, when I'm done with my MA and have to break down and find an actual job (also won't have the Ed Discount after July). I want to get the most out of this iBook, but I also don't want to be screwed in a year or two and not be able to afford a new computer. In other words, do you have any estimate on how much more mileage I can get out of this one? Any past experiences anyone has had would be helpful!

    Hey steck and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Why would it be turning off on its own when it is plugged in?
    Have you been on the machine when this happens? Are there any unusual symptoms when this happens?
    Next:
    Download Temp Monitor here and run it:
    http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    report back
    There could also be a DC in board problem or a PMU problem.
    Battery problem:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 1438
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 1544
    That's about a third of what it should be.
    The ifixit battery:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 5236
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 5804
    That one should run it for 5 hours. It could be bad.
    Did you calibrate it when you got it?

    In other words, do you have any estimate on how much more mileage I can get out of this one? Any past experiences anyone has had would be helpful!
    Well with your current situation, there is a big question mark. However I use and continue to use a 14" 1.2 iBook and feel very confident in it. Mostly I know the problems that can occur and have repaired all of them myself. I also repair and donate them to inner city school teachers, since I can get good deals on broken ones (or they're donated).
    Sort of like this:

  • IBooks application is frozen all others work, what to do?, iBooks application is frozen all others work, what to do?

    What to do when an application freezes such as what iBooks has don on brand new ipad2.

    Try closing the iBooks app completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, 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 iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : 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.

  • I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hi, I have the  iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hello Glittergirl68,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
    I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
    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.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
    If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    2. Check for app updates
    You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If  prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
    Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    4. Restart the app
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
    5. Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    6. Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and then download it again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • "It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that iBooks can open". Can anyone help me with this message of a book that I purchased on iBooks, read, highlighted in the book and now I can't open it anymore. Please help!!!

    Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

  • How much RAM can my ibook take?

    I have a early ibook G4 800Mhz with 128mb of RAM and i wanted to know how much more ram can i put in it, because its running really slow, i also wanted to know can my ibook take DDR333 PC2700 RAM
    thanks
    Arhtur

    The maximum is 1.25 Gb with the addition of one 1 Gb SODIMM. Choose a reputable vendor who tests and guarantees compatibility with your model Mac.

    Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder?  See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

    Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook.  This is very frustrating.  What can be done to fix this issue?

    I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
    If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
    First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
    If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
    If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
    If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

  • I have an iBook g4 14" 1.42 ghz. I recently installed a new hard drive.  I put the install CD in. Then, I pressed the power button, then the "C" key. Black screen and No chiming. Please tell me, what I can do to resolve this? What is the problem with it?

    Since it will not boot then a hardware test can't be run. You could try FireWire Target Disk Mode and if it works then access from another Mac to run tests on the new drive. You could also try installing the OS X software from the host computer. If this does not work then professional help should be considered.

    I downloaded iBooks but it is stuck in Loading and I can't seem to Uninstall. Help!

    Try restarting your iPad : press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider; then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. If the app download doesn't re-start, then you couldtry downloading the app to your computer and then syncing/copying it across to your iPad.

    I just realized I need 64MB of VRAM for elements 6 and I only have 32MB.  Does that mean elements 6 would not be compatible?

    Maybe you should try to:

    I have put epubs into ibooks and i would like to know how i can then export them to an email or dropbox?

    You will have to go via your computer's iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in iTunes (that should copy epubs and/or PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app. You can then email them or add them to Dropbox from your computer.
