IBooks crashes on iPad

I open iBooks and very briefly see my bookshelf and documents and then it goes balck and crashes. I have re-synched with iTunes and have re-downloaded iBooks but same thing keeps happenning. Any ideas?
Happened after I updated to latest iOS 4 version

Maybe try a reset, keep the On/off button and the Home button pressed at the same time till you see the Apple logo in your screen.
If not, then reset settings, go to Setting > General > Reset settings > Reset all settings.

why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

Hi DizzyTaco2,
If you are having issues with an Apple application such as iBooks freezing or quitting unexpectedly on your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

IBook crashes on ipad mini after iOS 7 upgrade

Upgraded ipad miņi to iOS 7. Cannot launch iBook. Crashes upon launching. Deleted app & reinstalled. (Several times) No difference. Still crashes. Am afraid to restart as fear the loss of purchased books :(

It started this morning.I've put some PDF files on my IBooks Shelves and right after, it started to go wild. If I open my IBooks, I can see the shelves and after, let say 7sec, it closes, even if I'm reading something that is not a PDF. I resetted my IPad mini, closed it, went to the IBooks settings in the Ipad settings, nothing works. I will try to put my PDF files on my Google Drive and delete them from IBooks. It must be a comparibility issue with something that comes from somewhere else then Apple.

Some books form iTunes Store makes iBooks crash on iPad 1st Gen

I have had this problem only once before when I bought "The Fifth Witness" by Michael Connelly.
It would open to the first page and then automatically go back the the home page. I would try again and noticed the little dots at the bottom
move 1/4 to half way and iBooks would crash again! This became very frustrating as there is no explanation online about this particular
problem.
Then my wife got her iPad 2 and I downloaded the same book to hers and it loaded without a problem!
The same thing happened this week when I bought "Foundation".. it just crashes on my iPad 1st gen but not on the iPad 2.
I have even tried closing all other aplications as to give iBooks all the resources my iPad has to offer, and the same thing happened.
I love the new iPad but cant put reason to buying a new one because there is nothing wrong with my old one.
From my experience it appears as though some of the books in the iTunes store are only compatible with the new generation devices.
This leaves the rest of us who have devices that are barely a year old to find other ways to use the item we have purchased for use on Apple products!
I know I'm not the only person having this particular problem. My wife and I own quite a few apple products. This is the only one that frustrates me.
Apple please fix this one!

iBooks app has just been updated to v 1.3.1 ; Apple says it fixes some "stability and performance issues".
Launch the AppStore and look under updates .

IBooks Crashes due to PDF in iPad's Memory.

I'm running the latest iBooks on the iPad with the latest OS. iBooks crashes right at startup every time just as the bookshelf loads. This has happened for the last few versions, and I keep thinking the next version will work. I have tried re-installing, resetting, deleting books from within iTunes, and just about every other solution I could find in these forums.
When I delete all books and pdfs in the books section in iTunes, delete iBooks, sync, re-install iBooks, then sync again, 7 pdfs keep coming back, once of which seems to be the cause of the crashing. Is there a way to delete those 7 pdfs which are stuck in the memory on my iPad. I would love to use iBooks again, and don't want to spend hours wiping and reconfiguring my iPad.

Apple has finally responded on another thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11974122#11974122
They are collecting info on the crashes and the message at the bottom of this page from [email protected] sets out the process for finding the crash report and sending it to him.
Looks as though this took Apple by surprise and at present they don't know what is happening - so, if you are experiencing crashes, check out this other thread and send your crash report to Apple.

IBooks keep crashing on iPad Mini

iBooks app keep crashing on my iPad mini.
I will be reading a book for couple of pages and the app will crash.
As I purchase new ibooks, it will take a long time anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, to download to my iPad mini.
It's NOT wi-fi issue due to purchased books on Amazon will download to Kindle app in less than 30 seconds
I have closed the app. & restart, but app keep crashing.
In older version of iOS, I can uninstall and re-install the app, it will fix the crash, since I updated to iOS 8.0.2 I'm unable to "un-install" the app.
How do I fix this issue of crashing.

Hello there, Yan.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with iOS not functioning as expected, which should help in resolving your issue with iBooks on your iPad:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

IBooks keeps crashing on iPad (latest software and updates installed)

Is anybody having a problem with iBooks crashing at any point on their iPad. It doesnt crash on the iPhone. All software and apps are latest and greatest per software updates. Any suggestions? It even still crashes after uninstalling it and re-downloading it.

Begin with a system Reset. Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A Reset will not delete apps, data, movies, pictures, music, etc.
If that doesn't help, download the 4.2 User Guide and look for help there. Pay special attention to page 170.

IBooks crashes permanently on iPad after updating today 12/12/2011

I updated iBooks beneath some other App-Updates.
Now iBooks crashes permanently.

Try all of the basic fixes.
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.
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 your 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 andlet go of the button.
Delete the app and reinstall it. Backup your iPad, transfer purchases and sync first so that all of your data is in the backup and the books are in iTunes on your computer.
Tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles - tap the X to delete the app.

IBooks crashes on install with unkown error an brand new iPad 2

Dear Apple please help me spend more money with you by getting iBooks installed :)
When I tap install on iBooks the iBooks icon appears, and it seems to start downloading, but only for a few seconds, then a popup appears saying helpful like ' unknown error occurred', and the icon goes away, and iBooks is not installed.
I was able to install other apps on my new iPad just fine, and I installed lots of apps including iBooks in an iPad 2 in the office.
I rebooted the iPad, but I did not reset it yet - the only thing I could think off, is that the apple I'd I am using does not have a credit card on file just a gift card, but that should not cause one free app to crash upon download and not others
Anybody else having this problem ?
One of the key reasons we got an iPad for home, is to susbscribe to international magazines on iBooks -

I also received my new iPad 2 today and experienced the same issue
The first thing I did was sync the iPad with iTunes and restored from my iPhone. I'm wondering if that was part of the issue since I couldn't install iBooks on my iPhone either. Both devices were up to date with iOS 4.3.3.
I was getting the same "Unknown error occurred" message on both devices.
I tried what has worked for many - but rebooting the devices did not help.
What did work was downloading the app within iTunes on my Mac and then syncing the devices. This worked for both my iPhone and iPad! Yay!
I give credit to @the_paulus for helping me out and hope this helps anyone else facing this issue.

Ibooks syncing issue ipad 2

Every time I link my Macbook Pro to my ipad 2 to sync I have to re check the 'load all books' box. Is this a new books not syncing issue? Or something else? How do I keep the load all box checked so I can not keep assessing my memory wrongly?

I have the same issues with my iPad2, ibooks crashes immediately. Very disappointing that apple has not addressed this issue quicker! What good is iOS updates, if it screws up apps.

My iBook crashes when previewed or after exporting it and sync

Hello,
I designed a photography iBook, and added 2 gallery widgets of 20 pics each. My iBook crashes when previewed on my iPad 3 or after exporting it and syncing it to the iPad. It happens after viewing the book and interacting with it.
I have seen that the gallery widgets behave a bit sloppily when you swipe to the next pic, also the second row of thumbails (pics 11 to 20) don't show properly, some thumbails just don't appear.
What can I do? delete the widgets and start again? Is the iBook crashing because of them? Any user having this problem in the past months?
Thank you!

I did it, removed both, started from 0 again. Same problem, thumbails dont show for items 11 to 20. The widget in general works a bit sloppily always, no matter amount of items.
i tried to make images smaller in resolution, same problem.
only solution: never have more than 10 items per gallery, and split 20 photos in 2 different galleries in 2 pages.

IBooks crashes continually with pdf's

On latest OS and iBooks versions but when I open a pdf it starts to populate the small pages images across the bottom of the screen and then after ~30s crashes.
Things have improved with the current version of iBooks in that at least iBooks opens and displays the bookshelf (previous version would crash immediately).
pdf is ~70GB in size.
If I then open the pdf it displays for ~1sec and then iBooks crashes.
Currently iBooks is useless for these particular pdf's (electronic versions of a subscribed magazine).

I don't fully understand what's involved but I've found that a System Reset cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

I installed the latest version of ibooks on my ipad. I have about 50 different collections of scanned pdf's. I can only view up to the letter M. Any idea where the rest went? These are client files. Help!!!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

IBooks crashes after ios8 upgrade

i completed the ios8 upgrade and now IBooks crashes every 5 minutes. How do I fix it or report it?

I'm having the same problem on my iPad Air. iBooks worked fine on iOS 7, but started crashing about 3-5 minutes after launching from the moment I installed iOS8. The crash seems to happens while iBooks is syncing with iCloud and putting my iPad in flight mode prevents it from happening. Disabling the syncing of bookmarks, notes and collections does not prevent the app from crashing. I've tried restoring my iPad using different backups(including one I made just before the upgrade to iOS 8), but the crashes keep happening.
As this only happens on my iPad and not on my iPhone 5, where I have automatic downloads disabled, I tried disabling automatic downloads. This seemed to prevent a crash only once, but once I tried to download a book manually, the crashes started happening again. I also noticed that any book downloaded after installing iOS 8 doesn't seem to be recognised as a purchased book. If I try to delete it, I only get the "Delete" option for books(which usually only appears for books that weren't purchased from the iBooks store), while I still get both the "Delete From All Devices" and the "Delete This Copy" options for any books downloaded from the store before installing iOS 8. On my iPhone, I still get both these options for any books downloaded after installing iOS 8.
The only thing I found is that there is a JetsamEvent log in the diagnostics & usage data screen at the exact time of each iBooks crash. Each of these listed iBooks as being the largest process.
I hope Apple provide a fix soon, it's a bit disappointing to have to read iBooks on my iPhone instead of the larger screen of my iPad.

Updated iPad2(2011) to iOS8 now iBooks crashes while reading a book. What is going on?

Updated iPad2(2011) to iOS8. Now iBooks crashes while reading a book and closes down. I have sync'd the iPad a few times but nothing changes and it will 'crash' every 5-10 minutes. What is going on?

A better solution. This worked for me and several others, from a post from MrsMike921 in the following thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26725105#26725105
go to your settings, and first go to Safari and delete your history by scrolling down to "clear history and website data". Then go to the advanced settings and select ""website data". It should show 0 bytes. If not, clear again.
next go to iTunes and App Store in settings, and touch your Apple ID, the select sign out.
AFter you you sign out of your ID, restart your iPad by holding down the power button and home key simultaneously until you see the apple logo after the restart.
when you are powered up, go to iBooks. You should get a message that you need to sign in to sync up your books. Sign in, and that should do it.
