IBook won't open on iPad. Used to work now just a blank screen when opened

I have been buying and reading books on iPad for some time now. In last few days I can't view anything when I click on iBook icon. It open s and is a blank white screen. I've tried swiping, touching, pinching, and no response.
How can i fix so I can read books again?

Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • E. o. Wilson iBook won't open after download.

    E. o. Wilson iBook won't open after download. It appears to have completely downloaded, but it won't open.

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If neither of these things help, delete the book and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with, you will not have to pay for it again.

  • IBooks won't open my PDF files after I did a sync on computer.

    I have an IPod Touch 4th generation. My IBooks won't open any of my PDF files after I did a sync on computer. I have updated all software, reset iPod from a previous backup, re sync with itunes on computer, and I have reset all settings, it still won't work. Any suggestions??

    Please close all apps from multitasking.
    Download the iPad manual from here http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    That should be a known good file from Apple. See if you can open that in iBooks.
    If you can open the manual the other PDF files are unreadable/corrupt.
    If you are unable to open the manual the issue is with iBooks. Delete iBooks and reinstall the app. Make sure you have  backup of your pdf files first.

    I’m applying for jobs online through my iPad using the safari app. For
    some reason when I try to attach my resume, which I have saved in
    Pages, it does not give me an option to go to Pages. It only gives
    my an option to choose a file from photos. Does it not have the
    capability to choose a location other than photos??

    No. Safari does not have the option to attach files for uploading other than photos.
    Look at iCab Mobile in the App Store. There are other browsers that may do this, but I'm pretty sure that iCab will fill the need.
    iCab Mobile (Web Browser) on the App Store on iTunes
    take a look at this.

  • I am trying to import pictures to IPAD 2 via Ipad Connector. Use to work now it does not. Any clues?

    I am trying to import pictures to IPAD 2 via Ipad2 Camera  Connector (Flash). Use to work now it does not. Any clues? I am a neophyte to Apple products...

    If you are using a flash card, as opposed to an SD card, then I assume that you are using a third-party card reader with the kit ? If so what error, if any, are you getting e.g. a 'requires too much power' error ?
    Also how are the photos getting onto the card ? If you are adding them yoursefly then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

  • Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

    Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

    It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.
    Any luck?

  • After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But wont work anywhere now

    After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But won't work anywhere now.  I tried re-setting but has not worked.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • Outlook mail being received but blank screen when I open the app

    Outlook mail being received but blank screen when I open the app

    This seems to be going on around here for a couple of days. I have seen several discussions about the mail app opening to a bank screen with different variations and issues after the blank screen appears. I wish I could say that my suggestion is the definitive fix, but I can't. Give it a try anyway and see what happens.
    Close the mail app completely and reset your iPad. Not data will be lost.
    In order to close the mail app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the mail app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Using just the TV screen when using HDMI port?

    Hi,
    I have the Macbook Pro with retina display and I was wondering how I could use just the TV screen when using HDMI port. I don't want mirroring displays, just one on the TV.

    With the TV connected and the MBP plugged into the mains (i.e. not running on battery power) close the lid.  The MBP will go to sleep, wake it up with an external keyboard or mouse - which must be connected in advance, or paired in advance if a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

    I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list,  why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone,  so their music is basically lost in space....help

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.
