IBooks slow to highlight on iPad

I books is super slow to highlight on my iPad, help!

No it's the only app but it has a lot of highlighted sections... I am almost positive that is why it's slow because other books are fine... But I wish I knew how to fix highlighting bogging down the I books makes me want to use another app

Why has ibooks slowed down on my iPad 2 since the iOS 8 download?

SInce my iOS 8 download on my iPad 2 device, the system drags through every move. Pages turn slowly, highlighting drags through the process, etc. it was very good before the download. My wife who has an Ipad 2 along with many other friends are having the same issue with ibooks. Can we expect a fix soon?

I have the exact same problem on my iPad mini. There is so much lag in iBooks after the iOS 8 upgrade that it's barely tolerable. It used to be that pages turned smoothly, books opened & closed smoothly, etc., but not anymore. I often find myself flipping accidentally through several pages because there is such a slow response time to my taps for advancing pages. In other words, I'll tap the screen to turn a page, nothing happens, so I tap again, & then suddenly iBooks will finally respond and 2 or 3 pages will flip. It's extremely frustrating.
Their is also some other general glitchiness (for lack of a better) word that I've been experiencing, but I'll try to observe it a little longer so I can better define what's happening.

How can i share iBooks with my wife's iPad?

I read different approaches on this site, and tried a couple of them, to no avail.
Here's what finally worked for me:
I logged into my iTunes account (which backs up my iPad2). I jumped out to Finder, created a New Folder called Books. Then I went back to the ITunes window, clicked on iBooks, and then one by one dragged the books my wife wanted into the folder.
Next, I inserted a thumbdrive, and dragged the Books folder from my desktop to the thumbdrive.
Finally, my wife logged into her account and opened ITunes, plugged in her iPad mini, went to File > Add to Library, and highlight the thumbdrive, and then the folder Books, and clicked on it.
All of my iBooks then transferred to the iPad mini's collection. A few steps, but pretty fast and easy.

Can't help with the iBooks issue (sounds like you tried the right thing) but for Kindle, you need to download "Kindle for Mac" from Amazon and log into the same account that your wife uses. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_mac_ln_ar?docId=1000464931

Not sure this helps in your case, but worth a look perhaps:

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

I'm using ibooks author and have 2 ipads. I was able to use my 1st ipad to preview the book and it worked perfect. Then I needed to use my 2nd ipad and it didn't work

The 2nd ipad is another designers in my department. I did all the tricks that normally make preview work. Unplug ipad, close ibooks, reopen ibooks, then plug into my computer, waited a few minutes, then hit preview. Still nothing?
Plugged my first ipad back in to double check for user error and that works fine.
By chance does ibooks autor only recognize 1 ipad?? the ipads have 2 different "owners" so would that cause an issue??
thanks!

When I had this problem it was because the iBooks on the iPad hadn't been updated to iBooks 3.
It can't be a number of iPads issue as I've connected a couple of different ones here.
If it's not this then sorry I have no other ideas!

Can you create a custom iBook widget that accesses the ipad's camera?

I am wanting to know if anyone has created a custom iBook widget that accesses the iPad's on-board camera? I will be creating and custom coding the widget myself. Thanks any feedback is welcome.

Premiere Elements offers disc menus for only
DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc
AVCHD on DVD disc
or
Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
The only exception is the feature named webDVD which is in reality a flash file with menus. Until proven otherwise, no way to get that on the iPad 2 unless with viewing from a web browser?

IOS 5 slowing down first-gen iPad? FIFA12

Hey guys and girls.
I'm relatively happy with iOS5 on my first gen ipad. Split keyboard is nice, iMessages too. But I've noticed one issue which is getting annoying. I recently got the FIFA12 game by EA and it ran very well. But after upgrading to iOS5, it is getting considerably slower on graphic-heavy situations. Like stadium lights and shadows at the end of the field.
Has anyone else noticed iOS5 slowing down first generation iPads? Not only talking about FIFA 12 but maybe other games and apps as well?

Hey Guys,
I know this may not solve you're problems or make me all that popular, but 1), you gotta give the developers a bit of time to update and 2), what you are experiencing is common with first adopters. On older devices it makes a lot of sense to wait until the first update. By then you will know the issues and any Apple fixes.

URGENT!- ibook slowing down, NEED HELP BADLY

Good day.
When I bought my ibook, i upgraded the RAM of this right away. i added a 512MB RAM. I was happy with the way it was performing. After a few months, i decided to buy an externat 40GB hard drive because i found the internal hard drive too small and love downloading song and shows over the internet. after a few months, i noticed that my ibook slowed down. before, the "beachball " would seldom appear. now it appears alot. i just noticed that my ibook has really slowed down. i admit, i download a lot. but all these downloads go straight to the external hard drive. the files that i save in the internal hard drive are only excel, word, and pwerpoint files. very small. anyone can help me? is there something that i can use to speed up my ibooks performance? what should i do? is there such a thing as defragment (just like the one of a pc).

Hi Michaelgnm,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try verifying and repairing permissions (Knowledge Base Document #106712 on Troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X). Do you notice you slow during certain times. An example would be working an file from your external hard or using iPhoto. How much hard drive space do you have on your internal hard drive? You may want try deleting programs that you don't use (on my iBook I don't use Garage Band, iDVD, etc). Maybe freeing up some space can help speed things up.
A great program to show you exactly what is on your computer is WhatSize.
If you are going to use WhatSize to delete any files/programs/applications, please be careful and make sure you know exactly what you are deleting and if there are any repercussions. WhatSize will show you files that you would not normally see; they are referred to as "invisible files". These invisible files are hidden from the users view because they would clutter the desktop and they hold vital information that if corrupted or deleted may cause problems. Please make sure you know what you are doing!
Have you deleted files that you don't use; like for my iBook, GarageBand. I use GarageBand on my iMac because it is much easier and faster, so I deleted it on my iBook. Have you tried the "erase install method"? The reason for doing this is because Mac OS X installs all the necessary fonts, languages, drivers, etc that people all over the world my need, by default. This tends to take up some room that you might want to get rid of (make sure first what you don't need and need). You erase and install your system software (Knowledge Base Document 301270 About Install Options w/ Mac OS X 10.4), and when installing, do a custom install. This way you can install the languages, drivers, and applications you want. The same technique can be done with iLife.
Do you using any "pro" applications (Adobe Photo CS, Aperture, etc)? You may want to try using a program like OnyX to run some maintenance scripts.
I hope that helps,
Jon

Buying ibook for someone else's ipad

Is it possible to buy an ibook for someone else's ipad?

not 100% but if you go to settings and store and change the appleID from theirs to yours in which case you will make all their apps stop working
which would mean you would have to delete their ibooks app as that would no longer work
and use app store to redownload the ibook app using your appleid
buy the book and log out with your appleID in settings -> store
which of cause would make the ibook app downloaded with your appleID
stop working when
the other guys appleID is applied again where the other guy will have to redownload the ibook app to
be back to the start
so I believe it can be don but I doubt it's a good path to travel down

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

Why can I sync iBooks on my iMac and iPad but not my Mac Book?

That did cross my mind earlier today and when checking iCloud found that it had an old ID. I logged out and then in again on my current ID. It still doesn't sync.

IBook won't open on iPad. Used to work now just a blank screen when opened

I have been buying and reading books on iPad for some time now. In last few days I can't view anything when I click on iBook icon. It open s and is a blank white screen. I've tried swiping, touching, pinching, and no response.
How can i fix so I can read books again?

Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

i have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

first you plug your device into your computer, then you select the name of your device on the left side of itunes. then you select 'apps' from the top center of the itunes window, and you check the apps that you want to go from the computer to the device
once you've done that, you press the 'apply' button in the lower right corner
this will be the same for anything you want to go from the computer to the device
you'll select the appropriate tab at the top, then only check information you want to go from the computer the device and then hit 'apply'

I want to see my ibook author publication in my iPad's desktop as an independent app, not in iBooks.

Hi,
I want to see my ibook author publication in my iPad's desktop as an independent app, not in iBooks.
Pls help, is there ANY way?
Sahid.

Got it. I want to do the work by myself. To learn the coding in that level to make a app like that, is that too difficult? Or what level of experience is required for this?
Actually it could be a good exposure of my work, impression and also a business aspect, as these kind thought is few in my country "Bangladesh"
I am surfing Mag+ and iTablo. Do u have any other suggestion on these?
