Why does iBooks 3.0 crash so often?

After upgrading to iBooks 3.0, I have experienced regular crashes of the app.  I change screens, perform a search, go to the book Store, open a book and it crashes.

ok I have managed to get ibooks 3.0 to now work on my ipad 1 running 5.1.1. I first uninstalled ibooks from the ipad. If you have content there which has not been synced to itunes first, then sync first before deleting. I then synced the ipad to itunes. I then attached the ipad to my computer and ran itunes. I went to the books tab and unchecked all my pdfs before hitting the sync button. During the sync process the warning came up that I would not be able to read the ebooks (which WERE checked to sync) without ibooks, and that I should download it afterwards. After syncing, I ejected the ipad and then downloaded ibooks 3.0 from the appstore. It then loaded fine. I have yet to try moving the pdfs back onto ibooks, where I might then identify the original problem.
I hope this works for you.

  • Why does the forum site crash soo often ??

    FYI
    thanks

    I had this bugs like many others having older device.  It seems to be memory related.  Other posts doesn't give a solution at of today and you may expect to have to wait for 6.0.1 to maybe solve this.  Nothings did solve the AppStore crashing under genious or search section.  It appears to be that when there is too many results, the AppStore is crashing.
    iOS6 on iPod Touch 5th gen does work properly even from the backup of my faulty 4th gen.  Then new generation does have twice the RAM of the 4th.

  • HT201398 Why does iBooks continue to crash upon opening the app?

    iBooks will not open.  I can not delete the app because it was already downloaded on my iPad.  When I try to open the app, a white screen pulls up; it ends up crashing, thus returning to the home screen.  I have tried to clear the history and reset the iPad, but iBooks continues to fail to open.  My software is thus far up to date (iOS 8.1.1).  My textbooks are on there, so I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to get the app to open and work.

    I sent a detailed note to Apple, and have been contacted by one of their tech people. He gathered some data and escalated it to their engineers.
    Separately, the iWork team saw these posts and reached out to me, asking for copies of my crash logs for the iPad. It was't easy, but their instructions showed me how to make copies of them, and I sent them to Apple.
    Hopefully, this will help. They obviously do recognize that there is an iBooks problem.

  • Why does Premier Pro CC crash so often?

    I just bought a kickass PC to edit a documentary and Premier Pro CC keeps crashing at least once a day. Now my computer has crashed all together!
    My PC configuration:
    16 GB RAM
    2 TB hard disk
    3.9 GH processor
    2GB Video Ram (NVIDIA)
    Windows 8
    Adobe's website that one needs only 8GB RAM to run Premier Pro CC. My PC has much more power and memory than they are specifying.
    Can anybody weigh in on this problem?

    I also want to add that I use this PC only for editing. My editor runs just two applications on this PC. Premier Pro CC and Microsoft word.

  • TS3274 why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    Hi DizzyTaco2,
    If you are having issues with an Apple application such as iBooks freezing or quitting unexpectedly on your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

    Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

  • HT4059 Why does iBooks offer very few books in Nigeria?

    Hello all,
    I recently got iPad (Third Generation) because I was excited about the possibilities of reading so many books through the iBooks app. However, I have recently discovered that there are very few books on offer in the Nigeria Store - and they are mostly books available in the public domain.
    For a couple of days, I thought it was a general iBooks problem (i.e. iBooks did not have so many books as I had originally thought) - but then I visited the US Store through a friend's account (who also lives in Nigeria) - and realized that a greaaat deal of books are available in the US Store (and other stores).
    Why does iBooks offer very few books in Nigeria? Is there any way to work around this restriction? How can this complaint be forwarded to those who make decisions at iTunes?
    Thanks,
    Koye.

    Congratulatons on the new iPad! 
    Music, movies, books, apps, etc. are availble on a country by country basis, as made available by the publisher. If you have books you would like to see added to the iTunes Store/iBookstore, you should submit feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

  • Why Does 3D Reposse cause crashes and work so slow?

    Why Does 3D Reposse cause crashes and work so slow?   I get the pinwheel of death when I use this feature.  It works at a snails pace.  I liked the 3D Type effects in iIllustrator.  Why couldn't Adobe have added all the Reposse features to Illustrator instead of craming all these new features into Photoshop?
    They're worthless if the program needs an hour to process every selection.

    What are your OS specs, your Video Card and your Preferences > Performance settings?
    Why Does 3D Reposse cause crashes and work so slow?
    My guess would be because it has to create a whole bunch of polygons and your computer-set-up may be insufficient for the task.

  • Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

    Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

    I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

  • WHY DOES MY i PHONE CRASH iTUNES

    Why does my I phone Crash I tunes

    Alright so mostlikely its going to be 2 things, Either the Apple mobile Device Service, or the Driver that is installed..
    Disconnect phone- close iTunes
    If you open up your services program - WIndows 7 = Click Start , Type Services, click the gear icon that says services, Locate apple mobile device service -click on it, then click stop service on the left side of the screen, then wait 20 seconds, now click Start service.
    Reopen itunes - Reconnect phone - does it work? if not its gonna be the driver.
    You will want to open up device manager - Click start - Right click on my computer -click properties - Click hardware tab -click device manager -Check under Universal Serial Bus controllers, Imaging Devices, Portalble devices, and Human interfaces - for anything that says "Apple" iPhone" iPhone Recovery" anything along those lines.
    If you locate it Right click on it - click update driver -
    Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
    Click the Browse button and navigate toC:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Note: If using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7, navigate toC:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl"file. (This file will be called"usbaapl64"if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see" usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers instead).
    Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.

    Why does my pages app crash when I try to email a document?

    Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

    Could you please provide the correct name of the app you are talking about (it cannot be iBooks Author, which does not exist for the iPad)?  All Apple apps should display in the language which you have your OS set to.
