IBooks is not working!

My ibooks won't download any new books and keeps kicking me out of the app. It worked so good up until I updated ibooks about a year ago, why is it not working?

Ibooks isn't working properly there is lots and lots of post on the net about this on various different sites with similar problems to mine - the only thing I hadn't done as you have suggested is remove the ibooks app and re install I had been reluctant to do this as I have 6gb of files installed, but looks like I have no option now but to try that, thanks for your tip about Good Reader, this has been mentioned elsewhere - so I will take a closer look.
Thankyou for replying to my email.

  • Ibook is not working with the new ios 5.01 any ideas why?

    After updating to ios 5.01, Ibook is not working.
    When selecting Ibook, the software tries to open and then closes immediately.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

    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. 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.

  • IBooks bookmarks not working after 1.2 upgrade

    I have noticed the bookmarks on my iPad iBooks are not working after upgrading to 1.2 today.
    I am unable to bookmark pages when I need to. It only works sporadically.
    I have also noticed when closing a book and reopening, the book opens at last bookmarked page instead of last page read.
    Please advice about any fix.

    Same problem here, Bookmark always worked properly before iOS 5. I too noticed this while reading Steve's biography, ironic??
    I have noticed that besides it appearing on previous page, that if I turn to lanscape and chose the bookmark it is appearing on the right of the second page of the two that appears as should be. So I wonder if this is some problem of formating between landscape 2 page view and the single page portrait view?
    My two cents but this is sure annoying!  I have not seen it jump back like some noticed however, just previous page in portrait view!

  • Why ibook is not working on my mini ipad

    Q. Why ibook is not working on mini ipad?

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app via the iPad's taskbar and seeing if your books open when you re-open the app ?
    Closing an app : iOS: Force an app to close.
    The search field should show if you drag the bookshelf down, that should reveal the search box above the bookshelf - is that how you are trying to get to it ? If it is then see if the app closing also fixes it

  • Browse in iBooks does not work when tapping on an author nothing appears, does anyone else have this problem?

    Browse in iBooks on my iPad does not work. When tapping on the author name nothing appears. Is anyone else having this problem?

    it does not show up in photostream in iphoto on my imac. Everything is activated and turned on.
    Just in case, on your iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is switched to on.
    If it was already on, switch that off. Restart your iMac, restart your iPhone.
    See if photos sync between the iMac and iPhone.

  • Ibooks is not working - had enough so seeking alternative!

    ibooks not working  on my new ipad- tried reset etc...circle top right  keeps turning and turning -  not changing - anyone recommend another app that I can store and read my pdf's on please?

  • IBOOKS alerts not working

    I have set up alerts for several authors, who have published new books, but I have received no email alerts -  know they have published books since I set alerts up can anyone help?

    Hmm. Thanks for the tip - although won't work for me, since mine was already switched to off. I switched it on, then off again, and have restarted my iPad. That didn't work - in fact, it switched it back on once it was restarted, and when I highlighted a word, the only option I got was Speak.
    So I turned speech off again, force-quit iBooks, and it's still back to where I was - the dictionary not working.
    UGH.
    All this, and even after yesterday's app update from Apple, it still doesn't work.

  • IBooks Dictionary not working

    I have iBooks version 3.0.2 on my iPad and my operating system is 6.0.1
    The dictionary does not work. I can select a word and choose "define" from the menu of options, but is always just brings up a window which says "No definitions found."
    Other users have solved this problem by turning off the iPad speech function under accessibility, but that didn't work for me.

    If I understand you correctly, you asked me to:
    1) Open the iPad app "Notes"
    2) type a word in a note
    3) select that word I just typed (while the English keyboard remains active)
    When I followed the above steps, the menu option "Define" does not even come up. My options are just "Cut, Copy, Paste, Suggest..."
    After doing the above I realized you probably meant for me to create a note within iBooks.  So, I did steps 1-3 in an iBook note and I got the same result.

  • IBooks Mac not working

    Ever since I consolidated my files in iTunes my iBooks library has not be working. All existing downloaded books can not be opened or deleted. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Any help would be appreciated!

    Yes, I am experiencing similar problems.  I understand the thinking here (I think).  iBooks is the book depository where you can manipulate your library and iTunes is just for audio and for syncing.  I transferred my books and PDFs to iBooks 1.0.1 (as instructed) and iBooks seems to work fine for me on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.1).  However, iTunes seems to have retained the old database of books and when I update the Mac iBooks library,  iTunes does not seem to know about the Mac iBooks database. When I sync, it just uses the old library that iTunes knew about before the Mavericks update, and it doesn't handle any updates.  I tried the option key while opening iTunes to select a new library, but the iBooks library is not visible there.  Effectively, I cannot sync the Mac iBooks to my iPad iBooks. 
    I am a reserch mathematician, so I download PDF journal articles to read on my ipad.  The turnover is pretty fast.  This is not the sort of information you can find in a book or eBook. Without being able to sync, iBooks on the iPad becomes useless for me.  Some people have suggested a work around by using eMail, but that doesn't send the metadata, and some of the articles are larger than the 25 meg limit on my eMailer. 
    Do we just have to wait for the next version of Mac iBooks and iTunes so they can talk to each other ?

  • MY 12" IBOOK WILL NOT WORK WIRELESSLEY

    I TRIED TO SET UP A 12" IBOOK WITH A AIRPORT EXPRESS AND IT WOULD NOT WORK, THE BROADBAND PROVIDER IS AOL, I CALLED AOL AND WAS TOLD AIRPORT WILL NOT WORK WITH AOL. IS THAT TRUE?
    THE ONLY WAY TO USE THE NET IS TO USE DIAL UP.

    Munaza, let us laid some simple concepts before continuing (I'm a little slow, please bear with me and correct me if I'm wrong, OK?)
    1. The internet service comes trough the telephone line to a DSL MODEM, right?. Does this modem have an ethernet port?, or has it only a USB one?
    2. This modem doesn't have wireless capabilities (there are some modems who does)
    3. You bought an airport express (ROUTER) and want to share the connection between the PC (wired) and the iBook (wireless), right?
    If your modem have an ethernet port, you should be able to connect it to the airport express, therefore, "transforming" the wired into a wireless connection. However, the airport EXPRESS doesn't have a way to share a Wired connection, therefore, unless the PC has a wifi (802.11b or 802.11g) card, you won't be able to connect the PC while the airport express is using the modem (you can use the ibook wirelessly, though).
    If the PC doesn't have a WiFi card, and you want to connect BOTH computers at the same time, you need another router, the airport Express won't work for your needs.
    Now, If your DSL modem have only a USB connection, you will need another MODEM, before you can connect it to any router.
    Please tell me if I'm talking non-sense to you (and answer my questions). This is basic so we can help you. Post back.

  • IBooks transfer not working.

    I got some books and when I tried to transfer them to my new air they would not come. Well, they came but ten seconds later disappeared. What happened? They were all from JW.org. No cost. Really great. Even the bible. Should I backup with the cloud instead of computer?

    Thanks

    After hours of fiddling I've come to the same conclusion as all of you. Customer vibes ONLY work with phone calls.
    cpage,
    I'm with you, apple needs to enable custome vibrations for:
    1. Calls
    2. Texts
    3. Emails
    PLEASE READ THIS APPLE.

  • IBook Does Not Work

    I have an iBook G4 and I've had it for quite some time. Just recently I found it in my closet and wanted t use it. I turned the power on and for several seconds the screen was working properly. Then, all of a sudden, the computer screen went black, however the computer was still turned on. I've tried restarting it an the same thing occurs. Is there something I'm doing wronG? What should I do?

    Check the battery by pressing the battery button. How many green leds light up?
    Are you plugged into the wall outlet?
    Do you hear the HDD spinning while the computer is still on?
    Try this combination procedure:
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
    • Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
    • Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
    • Log in and empty Trash.
    • Restart normally and log in.

Hello Apple!!! must Fix!!!

    You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
