IBooks not performing reliably on my iPad

I am running iOS 7.0.2 and find iBooks to be failure prone. I am trying to read a pdf 2A1313NV. I can read pp 1-10. When I swipe to p 11 the pdf closes and then iBooks follows. Happens to me on my iPhone 5 as well (same version of iOS).
Is this performance a known problem with iOS 7.0.2? When will a fix be released?

It is likely in a folder, or has been moved to one of the other home screens. Try swiping to the left and right to view the other screens.
if that fails, you can reset the page layout in the Settings app (General, Reset, Reset Home Screen Layout).

Ibook not totally downloading just on iPads

Hi all.
There's this one book I've purchased from the ibooks store that I can only read if connected to the internet. When off-line, it opens just to say something like "it's not totally downloaded, please download it again". I know the author, and the book has been formatted in Ibooks Author and is therefore "made for Ibooks". On my desktop Mac, that doesn't happens. And of course, I erased the book and re-downloaded several times...
Any ideas?

Hey andrevallejo,
If an iBook is not opening on your Mac, the first thing I would suggest is to make sure you have the latest version of OS X and iTunes installed.
Then download the book again:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2519
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
Select the content type that you want to download (Books).
Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
Find the item that you want to download.
Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Make sure your computer is authorized using the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
Make sure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, or PC is associated with your Apple ID.
If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
I hope this information helps ....

Error/warning message: this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this ipad

For a few days now I have been getting this error message appearing every few minutes. Is there a way to stop it? it appears when nothing is attached. I'm not charging my iPad and have not attached any cables / accessories other than the USB cable supplied when I bought it less than a year ago

Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. WHen you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
That message started with iOS7 which brought with it software that looks for signed chips in approved accessories. If the maker of the accessory got permission from Apple, then they got signed chips to put in their accessories, but if the manufacturer didn't get permission then the chips aren't signed and trigger that error. HOwever it's only supposed to happen when something is plugged in, which is why a reset may help. Force the iPad to reboot and see if it can figure out that there's nothing plugged in.

I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

Other suggestions, and more info about the nature of the problem, may be in this Apple tech note.

For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device.

PDF in ibooks have not transferred to my new iPad? Why

PDF docs in ibooks have not transferred to my new iPad? Why?

It sounds like you have been using iCloud. Did you have "sync books" selected?

What happens when you click the "Download" button for Mountain Lion? Do you get any response (error messages, etc.) from the Mac App Store?

Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

You can't simply move it directly between iPads.
In your example, you'd find that .ibook file in your iTunes account on your computer and then email or sync it to the school's iPad. Similar to how you did with yours....maybe you got it off a server and can repeat that process.
Then delete it off your iPad and either delete or flag your copy in iTunes to not be put back when you sync in the future.

So, IOS 8.1.1 still not ready for PrimeTime for iPad 2 and 3?

Not seeing hardly any positive responses from iPad 2 and 3 owners.
Of the responses I have seen iOS 8.1.1 is still not solving some major iPad 2 issues meaning,probably, not solving any iPad 3 issues, either.
Are the majority of iPad 2 and 3 owners even downloading and installing this recent update?
iPad 2 and 3 owners still shy about updating iOS 8 any further for fear of making their iPad operations worse?
Not seeing anything about whether this updates is really solving iPad 2 and 3 issues or not.
It's looking as if I will still have to continue waiting for upcoming updates until all of the issues on older iPads are straightened out by Apple.

iOS 8 and iOS 8.1.1 work fine on the iPad 3. I haven't had and problems.
The iOS 8.1.1 update is advertised as containing performance improvements for the iPad 2.

I download ibooks and other apps onto my ipad 2

I downloaded ibooks and other apps on my ipad 2 and synched them to my pc. now though i can see the apps on my pc a i cannot

I hope you are not trying to open them in iTunes on the PC - are you? That is the way that your statement comes across to me. You can only use the apps on the iPad.
Am I missing something?

How do you remove downloaded iBooks from your purchase collection on iPad Air?

How do you remove downloaded iBooks from your purchase collection on iPad Air? They won't go away and it's really annoying!

Thanks to all who answered and are trying to help me.
Here are some screen shots of what I'm talking about. I cleared out the cookies from Firefox, but do not know how to clear out the CACHE. As you can see its happening in all the webpages I open.

Ibook not downloading

Ibook not downloading to my iPad from iTunes U

How about this... I'm having the same issue w/ my iPad. Bought 3 books tonight, only 1 downloaded. Other 2 show up on my bookshelf but have no progress in their status bar. When I click on purchases and try to download them it takes me back to my bookshelf and then gives me "you have already purchased these, go to purchases to download." It's this never-ending cycle!
On my MacBook (running everything current), it shows that I've bought these books, but when I try to download them there I get "Cannot check for downloads. iTunes temporarily unavailable." I've re-booted everything (MacBook, iPad, modem, router), even re-installed iTunes.
Then I tried my iPhone, was able to download other 2 books and then synced it to my MacBook, and then synced that to my iPad. Books showed up normal (was able to open them) once and then reverted back to the "will not open, blank status bar" like before.
Have rebooted iPad lots, even did your steps 1, 2 & 3.
Lol, help!

I have a problem with the sync between iTunes and ipad2. I can not see the files in iPad. Help me please.

Cannot see what files ? Music (synced music should appear in the iPod app), films/TV shows (Videos app), documents ... ?

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

Can not add videos to my ipad 2

I have a the app called Telestrator, I'm trying to add sports videos to teach with, I can not add them to my ipad via iPhoto or iTunes, I have tried several videos conversions but keep getting the "the video is not playable on this iPad"

Hello solidroq,
This can be worked around by creating a version of the video that is compatible with your iPod.
Select a video and choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC. I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad? This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC? I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad. This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad. Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
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.
