Ibooks 3.0 won't open

Installed 3.0 but it won't open. Bookshelf appears momentarily, then reverts to menu screen. Have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted half a dozen times with no success.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.
If that does not help, then it is time to restore the iPad to the factory settings.

  • Why does a page open in safari on my iBook, same page won't open on my iMac

    this is driving me crazy. since the last security update or so, (not 10.4.6) i have not been able to load my 4 most used pages in safari on my iMac, they just won't load. every other site loads. no problems accessing the same pages on my iBook, same apple updates as my iMac and i sync the bookmarks through dot mac. i've read the threads, trying all pieces of advice, except disk warrior or whatever the utility was. but wait there's more. opera, and camino won't open these pages on my iMac either. i have copied the 3 internet.plist and safari.plist from my iBook and put them in preferences on my iMac. still no go.
    i'd be most grateful for any other ideas or suggestions.
    cheers

    my solution...
    did a repair disk from the 10.4 disk.
    it found some "problems" that needed repair on
    the volume. not sure what that means and sorry
    i didn't make note of it.
    most important, safari is working like a charm
    and my iMac seems zippier.
    cheers

  • HT5071 Book I created with iBooks Author now won't open!

    I can see the file with the .ibooks extension in the Finder but iBooks Author won't open it. Help!

    iBooks Author won't open an .ibooks file. That file belongs on your iPad, read w/iBooks.
    An iBooks Author document for editing is an .iba file.

  • HT1904 iBooks..some won't open since upgrade.These were purchased

    Since upgrade I am unable to open several books that I have purchased

    took a while and some arm-twisting of the iTunes tech people, but I finally managed to download all my paid for songs again, and so far this or other problems haven't cropped up.
    thanks, iTunes/iPod geeks. (and I mean that sincerely)

  • How do I make it where I can open my books in IBooks without having a wifi connection? They are already in there, but won't open when I am without connection.

    HHow do you open books in IBooks without a wifi connection? I used the open in iBooks option when downloading a ePub doc. Won't open without the wifi.

    Yes, you would need an internet connection to download. Once that's done and you've opened the epub in iBooks the first time, you should not need WiFi again.

    Hi marthaciffone,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend first forcing iBooks to quit to see if that helps:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
    If the issue continues, most of the remaining troubleshooting steps in this article are applicable and might help:

  • PDF won't open in iBooks

  • EPUB file won't open in Apple iBooks

    Hi all!
    I'm creating ebooks for a client using InDesign CC and she reports that the most recent EPUB I've created for her won't open in iBooks. As I don't own a smartphone or tablet I can't error-test on my end, but if you can think of anything that would lead to this error please let me know! I can't think of anything I've done differently in creating the EPUB, so maybe it's an issue with a recent CC or iBooks update? Has anyone else had this problem recently? The other ebooks I've made for her open fine.
    Her report on what happened: "when I go to my downloads folder and double click the file -- it opens the book shelf in ibooks and shows that the file is there but it has no cover. When i double click the book the program doesnt do anything. it doesnt open."

    In your last post here, you also had the same problem with the cover, which I think was due to the CMYK mode settings. Now I have no idea if iBooks doesn't display cover images that are CMYK, but usually images should be RGB (or Grayscale) in EPUB in order for them to display in ADE and Nook.
    Are there any other problems in the EPUB, i.e. other than the cover?

  • Running 10.4.6 on a G3 iBook and my Adddress Book won't open

    sorry, i posted this as a 'reply'-- and have re-posted it:
    I have a G3 iBook and my Address Book 4.0 won't open. I have tried re-installing from Tiger but I now have an OS later than Tiger, and am reluctant to go back. Also I don't know how to selectively install, as it doesn't appear to be an open on the install tiger disks. Where is "system" on the installation disks?
    Actually, I have the Address book installer, but it immediately closes after I sign in. I don't know if it is defective or something else.
    As you might have gathered, I have only elementary knowledge, so gear your suggestions accordingly.
    thanks!

    Kate,
    Tiger is 10.4.x -- did you mean you were reluctant to go back to Panther?
    Your version history, and appropriateness of reinstalling is confused -- please clarify?

  • My book showed up in the iBook library but it won't open.

    My book showed up in the iBook library but it won't open.

    Did you buy/download the book from Apple, or did it come from another source ? If it's Apple ibook then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if the book works after you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app '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.
    You could also try deleting the book and re-downloading it

  • TS1702 I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

    I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

    You could try downloading a program called Calibre.  It is very good at converting files between formats.  I use it all the time to convert PDF's from work to read on iTunes when I don't want to have to keep zooming in and out to read the actual text. 
    I know that iBooks will read PDF's but they can get pretty squashed down some times. Especially if the original font was small to begin with.  So I run them through Calibre and then email them to my phone and open them in iBooks. 

  • 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.

  • IBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, won't open after Mavericks install/update

    Just about everything on computer is slow as mollases after Mavericks Update. I am very angry because I can't use After Effects at all. It says it's not compatible with this new system. My mail application crashes as soon as I open it. Notification centre is non-existent now and Messages app won't open at all. Other apps such as iBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, and a few others won't open at all on this new system. I'm soo angry with Apple as I've never had so many problems with a new OS X. .. I would love to downgrade back to Mountain Lion OS. Anyone with helpful info, please respond. Thanks.

    Try deleting it and downloading it again.

  • Ibooks won't open any book

    I have several Pdfs...  default was to open pdfs in acrobat and when I click within ibooks it opens in acrobat. I changed the default app for PDFs from acrobat to iBooks  and now it just hangs... it won't open any books at all.
    I don't have this issue on iphone opening pdfs in iBooks

    If the book won't open then try deleting it from the bookshelf and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and see if you can open that.
