Ibooks no opening pdfs

After I installed the itunes update and synced my ipad I have not been able to open pdf or books on my ipad.  When I open ibooks on my ipad the pdfs and books are their but when you click on them to open they won't open.  Any ideas?  I've tried updating ibooks, deleting ibooks, updating and deleting itunes.  I am able to open the pdf and books in my itunes, just to make sure the files were actually working and they do open.  Any ideas?   Seems to be an issue since I have updated itunes.  By the way I really do not like the new update to itunes.

I have been experiencing this problem for over a month now. Seems a bug in iBooks. However, if I close the iBooks and then from email try to open the attachment from Email, it works. Having iBooks open gives this problem.

  • Very slow times on iBooks when open PDF files after upgrading IOS 5

    Hi,
    After I had upgraded my ipad 1 to the new iOS 5 every time that I open a PDF file inside iBooks it takes, at least, one minut. After it works fine and I don't have special problems when I'm reading but on finishing it and returning to the library it takes one other minute. It's annoying!!
    Inside the library I have about 200 pdf files.
    Before my upgrading all worked fine!
    Anyone has any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Usually related to file associations in Windows. Right click on the PDF and select the Open With option and select Acrobat. Be sure to check "always open with."

  • "open in ibooks" button doesn't open pdf on iPhone 6, click it several times and nothing happens

    The "open in ibooks" button doesn't open pdf on new iPhone 6. I'll click it several times and nothing happens. Is there a way to uninstall ibooks and reinstall?

    there is no share button in preview
    I am seeing a Share button in Preview's toolbar, Larry:  Can you see the screenshot?
    The content of the Share menu will depend on the file format. For PDFs the menu will be nearly empty and iPhoto and aperture are missing.

  • Can't open PDF files in iBooks on my iPad

    When I open a PDF file in Safari the file displays fine. When I touch the "Open in iBooks" button the PDF flashes briefly on the iBooks bookshelf, then disappears. I have tried this over and over the with the same results.
    Previously, I was able to get the PDF's to stay on the book shelf after 3 tries. Rebooting the iPad corrects the problem for getting only one PDF on the bookshelf, then no other PDF's will come into iBooks until I reboot. Since I have dozens of file to get into iBooks rebooting is not a viable solution.
    Anyone else having this problem?  My iBooks is version 2.1.1 (908)

    I don't think it has to do with Safari.
    I create a document using Pages in iWork, then I email it as a PDF to myself. Then I choose "open in iBooks" from Mail.
    At first it would go to iBooks the first time, no problem. After a while, and I'm not sure what changed, I had to do it 3 times, just as you did, with the title briefly appearing in the PDF collection "shelf" on the 2nd try, as you said and on the 3rd time it was there.
    Ever since the most recent iBooks update, even with rebooting, I haven't been able to put a PDF in iBooks at all. I tried deleting one and re-doing it, also. It didn't work either.
    I was trying to go back to a previous version of iBooks, to see if it still worked, but I haven't figured out how to do that. In the Internet descriptions of how to revert to a previous version of an app, it says to find the earlier version in the trash, but that's only on the computer, not the iPad, right? I can't find any .ipa that looks like iBooks in my computer's trash.
    Very likely I'm just not getting it, but that is what I think I (or someone smarter than me) should try next.

  • Opening PDF in iBooks

    Ever since downloading and using Dropbox app on iPad and iPhone 4S, I can no longer open a pdf file from safari or email attachment  and read a PDF in iBooks. My only options to open in are Dropbox and Go Daddy apps. I can't figure out how to return iBooks as one of the <open> options.

    I actually did change my settings so that iBooks is the default application for opening PDFs and it was visible in iBooks, but still opened in Adobe Reader. This was the main change to the system  update I was really looking foward to, so I'm quite disappointed.

  • PDF does not "Open in iBooks" or "Open with" any apps from Safari.

    Hi,
    After update to iOS 5, I noticed that PDFs in Safari does not "Open in iBooks" or "Open with" any other apps. The option is available, however, nothing happens when I click on it. Has anyone else experienced such an issue?
    Thanks,
    Bibin

    I have exactly the same issue.
    Here is something even more bizarre.
    If I go in Safari to
    arxiv.org/abs/1012.4362
    and click on the link to the pdf it displays it in Safari fine, but wont open it in GoodReader (it will upload it to dropbox but then isnt viewable in there).
    However, if I go to the same link in Opera, click on the pdf then, as usual, it opens the pdf in Safari. But now the pdf *can* be uploaded to GoodReader from Safari!

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • HT204365 Open PDF's with iBooks

    I want to open PDF's with iBooks. I am using Mavericks, so I drag and drop the files in the iBooks library and still opens with adobe. I also try the "open with" option and it says the file is damaged.

    Hi,
    When I open PDF's in Ibooks, it uses preview not ibooks. So I presume that your default for PDFs is adobe. I suggest that you post your query on the iBooks for mac forum.

  • HT204365 Unable to 'open' PDFs in iBooks

    Advice needed.
    When opening documents my iPad used to give me the option of 'open in iBooks' or in safari. Now it only lets me open in notability. I have not changed any settings so I can only assume this has happened since an update. I do not want to use notability for opening PDFs because I can't be doing with the hassle of converting it and then having a dropbox account.
    Does anyone know how to change back so I can use iBooks again?

    I have the same problem. I used to download the local newspaper and save it in iBooks in order  to read it at my leisure when wifi is not available. However ever since I downloaded ios7 I am unable to save any PDFs in iBooks. 
    Is there anyone who can help with this problem pls?

  • Pdf book in iBooks library  opens in PdfPen Pro

    Hi with the latest OS X  10.10.2  update , I open the pdf book in iBooks  and the pdf opens in PDF Pen Pro not iBooks
    Has anyone seen this behavior with this app or other pdf viewing apps?
    Thanks,

    Hold down the control key and select a file of the given type in the Finder. A contextual menu appears. Release the  control key and hold down the option key. From the contextual menu, select the submenu

  • Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • Issue opening pdf's in ibook app

    Updated IPAD2 to IOS 5.0.Now having issues with opening PDF's from external apllications in ibooks. The pdf files which are already in ibooks works fine and the pdf it self i can read in other applications too on ipad when i try to import the  pdf in to ibooks by selecting open in ibooks nothing is happening.
    What is going on any help will be appreciated.

    I know what you mean but the only thing is left for you is to backup and the reset you iPad to see if the issue is present after that or not. When your iOS is normally installed it could only be the app that's not working without problems. Or maybe wait for the next iBooks update and see if it fixes the bug with the .pdf's. At least you now have an app with that you can read them.
