IBooks on IPad Problem

Hi.....my iBooks application has started having a issue.....when I launch the app, the book case view opens but there is no books in it but then the app closes completely after about 10secs.....there are Books on it...but it seems to struggle populating them...
This only started happening in the last few days and there have been no new books added.
Any guidance would be appreciated
John

I'd recommend trying some of the things recommended in the Guide besides Resets, by which I'm assuming you mean the 'hard' or system reset. Boilerplate below summarizes the options:
From the Tips & Troubleshooting section of the User Guide:
*Restarting and Resetting iPad*
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPad, force quitting an app, or resetting iPad.
*Restart iPad*    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
*Force quit an app*  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.
+If you can’t turn off iPad or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPad. This should be done only if turning iPad off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.+
*Reset iPad* Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
*iPad Still Doesn’t Respond After Reset*
+Reset iPad settings.+ From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. All your settings are reset, but your data and media aren’t deleted.
If that doesn’t work, +erase all content on iPad+. See Resetting iPad.
If that doesn’t work, +restore the iPad software.+ See Removing a Backup.

  • Using iBooks on iPad Syncing Problem

    Using iBooks on iPad I added several books directly while not connected to iTunes.  When syncing later, the books do not appear in iTunes (Windows) but seem to stay in iBooks on the iPad.  Why don't they show in the Books folder?  Why aren't they added to the Books in iTunes? How do I get them there?  All software is at the current versions.

    It may be your computer is not yet authorised. Check by going in iTunes to Store > Authorise this computer. If that's not the case, simply try going to File > Transfer Purchases
    That should get any purchased content off the iPad onto the computer
    Hope this helps

  • IBooks on iPad not reading the library...

    After the last upgrade, IBooks doesn't read the Library. The bookshelf appears empty on iPad.
    But connecting to iTunes you can see that all the Books and Pdf are there.
    Can somebody help me to solve this problem?

    I have found the solution!
    Short of it is : if you have a lot of PDF books, let iBooks do its thing for quite a while. I have 152 PDF books (I am scanning away my bookshelves into digital form), so it took about 30 minutes for iBooks on iPad to display them after the update.
    So leave your iPad with iBooks running non-stop. Give it an hour if you need to. Your books should appear once the app has generated all the small icons and completed whatever other processes it needs to run before it shows the books on your shelves.
    For those of you with time on your hands who want to know, here's the detailed troubleshooting sequence I went through...
    I tried the above proposed solution of removing, and reinstalling the iBooks app. Still, my books did not appear on the iPad after synching. Interestingly, my books remained on the iPad after the app's removal. So I did a complete "Restore" of the iPad.
    The restore didn't seem to help. On a hunch, I unchecked "Synch Books" under the Books tab. This removed all books. Checked again "Synch Books", all books downloaded back to the iPad. Still, none appeared.
    I then checked "Selected Books" and chose only one book. After synch, great! This one showed.
    So I checked a dozen more. They eventually showed, but this time it took a couple minutes for them to appear. Aha. I clicked back the "All Books" button. Waited for the download. After the synch, I opened iBooks app, then waited an extra 20 to 30 minutes, and voilà, my books showed again on the library shelves.
    So if you have a lot of PDF books, give iBooks ample time to process, and your books should show up again in a while. Hope this helps YOU save time and troubleshooting mojo...

  • IBooks for IPad 2 Unknown  error has occurred when I try to download ?

    iBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?
    Every time I try to download iBooks from AppStore it give me a unknown Error when it starts to load.  Has any one else ever had this problem and any way to fix this.
    Thanks

    Fixed!!--Same error issue, but I hadn't downloaded any apps that required syncing. New iPad2 this Wednesday (6/15/11). Per other suggestions on this forum I tried hooking up to the laptop (already had latest iTunes loaded before my iPad2 came), iTunes started up, went to Apple iStore, login, confirm payment, try to download 'iBooks' it says I already have it. Look at the iPad and it's there.
    This fix took all of 3-minutes and all is good. Now to learn to move things around. Newbie here  Thanks to the forum for tips on things to try. I need to go back through documentation to see why I had such a problem. Not exactly plug-n-play, but then again, I fighting the urge to 'right-click'.   Love the iPad2 so far. My first Apple-anything.

  • IBooks on iPad and iPhone

    I have an iPad and and iPhone. I have iBooks app on both. I don't have an iMac computer. Can I get the books I purchased on my iPad to show up on my iPhone. I believe I have the settings on both to Sync.
    I saw on on Apple commercial they showed someone reading an iBook on an iPad and then showing the same book being able to be read on the iPhone. There was no iMac in the commercial. This lead me to believe I do not need an iMac in order to share a book on my iPad and iPhone. However, earlier threads seem to indicate a computer is needed to sync iBooks between iPad and iPhone.
    My calendar and contacts sync correctly.

    The books won't share or bookmarks/collections?
    Reset both devices?
    Turn sync bookmarks & collections off, then on again?
    Remove the books and then load them up again from a single iTunes library?

  • Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

    Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

    You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
    If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • PDF from Mac to iBooks on iPad - how?

    PDF from Mac to iBooks on iPad - how?
    Before iBooks for Mac came along I simply dragged my PDF to iTunes and synced my iPad. I foolishly installed Mavericks and iBooks on my Mac.
    Now I have no idea how to drop PDF's to my iPad.
    There is a support article but no helpful at
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4227?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What must I do? I simply want Apple drag 'n drop functionality back please.

    You should be able to add the PDF to the iBooks app on your Mac via File > Add To Library, and if you then connect your iPad to your Mac and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes then it should show on the iPad's Books tab for syncing to your iPad's iBooks app.
    Or you can email the PDF to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it into the iBooks app.

  • IBook blueberry Battery Problem since Upgrading from 10.3 to 10.3.9

    Hi, although I read through the tons of posts regarding this subject, the offerred solutions did not help.
    I reseted the PMU, I tried running Battery Reset under 9.2, I recalibrated the BatteryManager so far I could, I drowned the Battery - still: The Battery has 0% and is "charging". but the iBook does not work running only on battery.
    Is this software related, so that I have to go back to something earlier than 10.3.9?
    The battery is fine and working when used under 9.2 and 10.3. Is it impossible to use 10.3.9?
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Hi Sue, Are you using the iMac install disc on your iBook? The firmware on the iBook is different and will not be reconized. Did you migrate your iBook to your iMac? I can run a clone of my iMac on my iBook with no problems via firewire. So I think it is possible to do a restore from your iMac to your iBook and upgrade that way...But make a back up just in case!!!!

  • TS4443 Unable to sync multi touch ibooks from iPad to iphone

    Hi,
    Purchased and downloaded a multi touch book from ibooks to iPad air, but it does not sync to iPhone.
    Can it? Should it be able to?
    Thanks

    Does the book's description in the store say that it's compatible with iPhones ? If it is then what happens when you try to sync it via your computer's iTunes ? Have you tried redownloading it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app ?

  • Sync iBooks From iPAD to iPhone

    Please follow the steps below to figure out how to Sync iBooks From iPAD to iPhone
    Before Starting: Settings For Both Devices
    1. Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections > On
    Then...
    1. Sync iPAD with iTunes.
    2. File > Transfer Purchases From iPAD (this should transfer those books your purchased on your iPAD onto your iTunes)
    3. Un-sync iPAD from computer
    4. Sync iPhone
    5. Store > Purchased > Drag book(s) from the "Purchased folder" to your iPhone (this should transfer your book(s) from iTunes onto your iPhone)

    No, this is not necessary or correct. It's not necessary to transfer to and from the iTunes library. When you sign into your iBooks account on each device you have iBooks installed in:
    iBooks > Store > Purchased > shows everything you bought > download from there wirelessly.
