Problem in using iBook

I cannot access to my iBook! When I touch it I just see a white screen....I cannot use my PDFs .... What's the problem in your idea?? What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Problem connecting to public wifi hotspot using ibook and airport

    Hi
    I have a brand new iBook G4, replacing an iBook G3. At home I use it to connect wirelessly or wired with my Netgear router. No problems.
    Yesterday I tried to access a public, unsecured wifi hotspot in a local cafe. There were two other people there using the net, both using iBooks (high Mac density, it seems!).
    Whatever I did, I simply couldn't connect. First, using the same Location I use at home (defined to only use Airport), I could see the named network, but when I selected it I got the 'could not connect' dialog. Retried, no luck.
    I then created a new location, configured that to use Airport. Same problem.
    I then created a new network name, and tried again. No luck. Using this last option, it actually asked me for a WEP password, even though the network was, in fact, unsecured, and the other users had not been asked this.
    I do use WEP protection at home.
    Any ideas?? I'd like to be mobile and networked, so I'd really like to fix this!

    I presume that the iBook G3 worked fine at the location previously?
    Some 802.11b access points require a firmware upgrade before 802.11g (Extreme) clients can connect.
    Though 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b some older access points were developed before 802.11g and therefore are not in a position to allow the 802.11g clients to connect.
    Note that you can attempt to persuade an Airport Extreme client to operate in 802.11b mode.
    Hold down the control key [ctrl] when selecting the network from the menu.

  • 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

  • HT4059 I have iPod Touch 4 w/ iOS 6.1.5 (10B400). according to the requirements on this page, above, I should be able to use iBooks. However I keep getting the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but your website will not allow me to do so.  Why not?

    ... I should be able to use iBooks. However, I can't. When I try to download the app I get the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but then Apple's website won't let me download that either. So far, I have managed to download a book to iTunes on my PC, but I cannot get it to sync with my iPod, although I have synced music, a video and a few other apps. I cannot seem to find a solution to my problems with iBooks or iOS7. Please advise.
    Yours truly,
    Garth Reid
    PS I also cannot get the app for Podcasts.

    Having the same issue here. I unfortunately purchased a book on iTunes, then went to download iBooks, but can't due to their recent update/upgrade.  My kids iTouchs are all 6.1.5 , So I'm guessing that if you did not have iBooks previously purchased that you are now S.O.L. if you want to read a book on your iPod??
    I am rather frustrated that I spent money on a book that they can't read.
    Is there another app that will let them read it?

  • Using iBook as a Wireless Router

    Here is the setup - 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro running 10.5.2 with no direct internet connection and a 1.33GHz iBook running 10.4.11 connected to ADSL via built-in ethernet.
    Previously, I was able to use the iBook as a wireless router by selecting the Sharing folder in System Preferences and then turning on 'Internet Sharing' on the Internet tab and selecting 'AirPort' in the 'To computers using...' dialog box. IIRC I could then click on an'Airport options' button (or something similar) on the same tab and that brought up a dialog box to set up a WEP password.
    After a complete erase and install of the 10.5.2 system on the MacBook Pro I am trying to once more share the internet connection but can no longer get this setup to work.
    On the iBook the 'Airport options' button is greyed out so I can't set up a password. On the MacBook Pro it gives a message 'incompatible security'.
    I would be very grateful for any suggestions as to why this isn't working. Could it be that the iBook thinks that the WEP password is already set up from before? In which case, how can I delete it (it doesn't appear in Keychain Access)? No-one can remember the password :-((
    Cheers
    Tricia

    I don't know if I can help much, but I too use an iBook as a wireless router for my MBP, only with dial up. Since we live out in the sticks with no close neighbors, I never bothered setting up a password. But I have had no problems getting the iBook to work.
    I just checked, and it looks like you have to stop sharing in order to be able to change any of the settings, as they are grayed out while sharing is on. If you click on "Stop", all the options will be accessible again, including the ability to set a password. At least that's how it works with mine.
    If no joy, please post back. Since I have the same set up, I could experiment a bit.
    Good luck!

  • Why do I have to sign in every time use ibooks

    Since the ios7 update, almost every time I use iBooks it prompts me to sign into my appstore account.  This is new behavior and is aggrevating.  Why is it necessary?  Am I missing something?

    Pretty sure it's a bug, same problem here. Only started after installing iOS7 7.0.2. It's only happening on my iPad though, not on the iPhone. However, the iPhone (which is logged into iCloud) is not syncing my progress from other devices.

  • HT4059 can you use ibook on macbook pro

    can you use ibook on macbook pro? If so, how do i read the free books from itune?

    "if you can use the Kindle app from iPad to Macbook, shouldn't you be able to do the same with an apple product?"
    No.
    The kndle app provides this feature.
    Ibooks does not.
    " I would rather buy books from iBooks"
    You can buy form whomever you like.
    " but not being able to go from device to device like in Kindle is a problem."
    You can read iboks on ipod touch/ipad/iphone, just not your computer.

  • Unable to connect to D-Link DI-624 (ver.C) using iBook G4

    This question is on behalf of my friend. I tried to get her iBook G4 onto the D-Link DI-624 Wireless network but was unable to access the internet. Wired is fine though. The router is setup with WEP 40bit ASCII passphrase and is broadcasting the SSID, but for some reason as soon as the iBook's Network DHCP grabs a valid IP address, the wireless connection is lost (ie. antenna dims). Additionally, when the iBook momentarily connects to the wireless network, her Windows PC's lose network connection, then vice-versa. I found this to be very strange, and have never come across this problem before with any other router. Any ideas?
    Here's her configs from what I remember:
    - WEP 40bit ASCII
    - Channel 6
    - Router is using DHCP
    - 1 Wintel machine hard-wired
    - 2 Wintel machines using wireless
    - iBook G4 can access any other router perfectly fine (ie. Library, School, Coffee Shops, etc)
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I expect you may have figured this out by now...but in case you didn't I had a similar problem getting by iBook back on a DI-624 wireless network.
    After much grinding of teeth what ended up working was "simply" resetting the network connection within the iBook's System Preference/Network.
    So this is what it finally took me to get back on: I actually reconnected directly to the broadband modem (ethernet) first in order to updated to OS 10.4.4. There are some improvements within security and wireless connections and its been mentioned by a number of others in the discussion groups. There are certainly those who feel the update has created problems but I know plenty of folks who are using it and haven't had any issues.
    From the sounds of it you probably know how to reset your iBook network preferences. I also turned off WEP (as suggested by DI-Link) just to make sure I could get the connection back. I also reset the DI-624 to my configuration, which is easy to do within your browser (if you don't have your quick start manual you can get on line from DLink). I then re-configured the iBook's network preferences again to make ApplePort as the priority connection and shut down the laptop.
    Powered off the broadband modem for at least a couple of minutes. Powered down the DI-624 for a minute or so and then back on. Powered up the modem. When the modem recycling was completed I powered up the laptop.
    At that point the reconnection to the network was back. After I reconnected wirelessly I went back in and reset the WEP. I shut down the laptop, powered down the modem again and back on after a couple of minutes. It seems like a unnessary step but in previous experience recycling the broadband connection got everything working in sync. Powered up the iBook and everythings back to working....knock on wood. It's been working fine for the past couple of weeks without a hitch (or hick-up)

  • Should I avoid used iBook G3's?

    I can get a pretty good deal on a used (most recent version) iBook G3 (12.1", 900 MHz G3, 640 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, AP etc.). I'm all set to get it as the price is great, but I'm kind of worried about the whole logic board thing?
    It's obviously way out of warranty and the extended replacement plan is over, so is it too risky to buy one? If it hasn't had problems yet, is it likley that it might eventually? Or is it pretty safe if it hasn't failed yet? It's probably only because people post bad experiences here, but it seems that most iBook owners have had a logic board failure at some time.
    I've had a bad experience with a G3 Lombard PB (messed up logic board) a few years ago and don't want a repeat experience.

    If the iBook you're looking at does have the logic board failure, there's a department in Apple (Rhonda Wilson knows it), where if you talk to them and ask them to make an exception there's a good chance they will if it's an actual logic board failure.
    This iBook I'm using now (900MHz, 384mb, Combo, 40gb) had it's logic board replaced and it was out of warranty also, but they still took it and it's been running great ever since.
    Don't worry about buying used iBooks, I've owned three and they've all been (except for this one) perfectly fine.

  • Purchased used iBook - now want to upgrade to Leopard

    I bought a used iBook G4 on eBay with 10.4.11 installed but no discs. I want to upgrade to Leopard. Will my other programs be saved if I install Leopard. I am most concerned with Office for Mac 2004. I don't have the discs for that either.
    I am a total Mac newbie.
    Thanks!

    It should work if you do a standard upgrade install. A completely clean install would completely wipe whatever you currently have.
    That being said, I've heard of some applications having problems when the operating system was upgraded.

  • I am a teacher and want to distribute a textbook I created using iBooks Author through Ibooks. We are not 1 to 1 and students share devices on a cart. Can I publish and distribute the book if it is used by multiple students?

    Title says it. I created a textbook using Ibooks Author and want to load it on my class set of 30 iPads that are used by 5 different groups of students throughout the day. It is not a 1 to 1 device. Is there a problem with doing this as the Apple ID would be a generic that downloads the content many times on each iPad for my students?

    The two processes are so unalike that you need to bone up on what they involve before answering, I think...you can't just shrug and expect specific help, sorry.
    See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support
    Distribution isn't automatically like iOS apps, where the store is involved by default.
    You are free to put your .ibook file on a school server/your own server, and anyone can download for free and use it, independent of any Apple ID and the app store. If you want to restrict to your school/students, put it behind a login.
    You can put it in the store as a free download and any Apple ID can download and use via any iTunes Account. If you sell via the store, each download/purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to facilitate that transaction. This is not a requirement.
    Again, you need to become more familiar with the distribution process and not worry so much about the Apple ID scheme involved at the moment so you can make an informed decision, I think

  • Strange problem with new iBook G3 battery

    Hi everyone!
    I'm facing a strange problem with the new battery I've bought for my 12" iBook G3 800MHz (full specs PowerPC G3 800MHz CPU, 640MB SDRAM 133MHz, DVD-ROM, 20GB HDD, running OSX 10.4.11)..So I've got this laptop two months ago from a friend who wasn't using it anymore, and the original battery was almost dead: 141mAh of maximum charge was giving me about 6 minutes of work. I've recived the new battery yesterday (it was completely charge-less: the indicator lights weren't working), but it has this curious problem: when the iBook is off, it won't charge. I gave it a full charge with the laptop on, up to 100% (4414mAh), and was working fine. But this morning it started going crazy: osx gets bad charge readings, since the percentage jumps randomly from the correct value (and there stays about 2-3 minutes) to 3-4% or 100%. The battery itself is working: only readings are really bad. And there's still the odd "I'm not charging while iBook's off" problem..I'm currently trying to calibrate the battery: could that be the problem? I've already made PRAM, NVRAM and PMU resets..ideas? Thanks

    Before sending it back try a PMU and PRAM reset.

  • No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought it would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is it really just limited to one key word per search?

    No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought an eBook reader would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is iBooks really just limited to searching for one key word at a time?  Am I missing something  basic in the search interface?

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.
