    Resolved Error Message in iBooks App

    Hi! I recently upgraded from OS X Mavericks to OS X 10.12.6 Sierra. It hasn't been painless unfortunately, but so far, knock wood, I think I have most bugs solved by reinstalling the operating system & system files. One of the bugs which has not gone away is this error message whenever I...

    Possible to export/print notes from iBooks "books?"

    I'm in a distance learning program with an east coast university--all of texts are available as ebooks, so that's the route I went. Now that I'm hip deep in reading, it appears a snag exists: Is it possible to export or print out notes added along the way? Seems like a no brainer, but so far...

    Is the iBooks folder visible on iCloud Drive?

    Can I access my books and PDFs from the finder, like with Pages or Numbers documents, when using macOS? Or is the folder supposed to be hidden and only available through the iBooks app? I can't see it and just want to make sure that this is not a bug and that there really is no option to show...

    Which Apple ID to use for iBooks?

    I have two Apple IDs, one for iTunes and one for iCloud. The reason for this is historical, because there was a time when these were different things and my accounts are that old. I have never really used iBooks so far (there are only a few random PDFs in there and two book I bought years ago)...

    Is reading on your iPad or iPhone harmful to your eyes?

    I have read multiple user comments stating that reading on an e-ink screen like the Amazon Kindle is easier on the eyes than reading on an LCD Screen like the iPad or the iPhone. Honestly, I have never been too fond of the Amazon Kindle or the Amazon Ecosystem. I have always preferred reading on...

    Resolved iBooks Sync Fixed

    Appears that Apple has fixed the iBooks location/bookmarks/notes syncing issue. Late this afternoon everything started syncing for me again. Must have been a server side issue. Scott

    Are these known bugs, or is my iPhone failing? (iOS 9.3)

    1) iBooks says all of my ebooks need updating, yet seizes on my iPads and iPhone when I try to update them. (And I do mean ALL of my ebooks) 2) Hanging up calls, sometimes the screen looks like it's at half brightness, and I can't hit the hangup button. 3) At times it seems to just 'checkout'...

    E-books disappeared after iOS 9.3

    So my e-books disappeared from my iPad after the update last night. They are on iBooks on the Mac, but on my iPad device it's pretty much a blank window. When I go into iTunes to try to sync them back, they don't show up in the syncing window for books.

    iPhone iOS 9.3 iBooks app crashing.

    Opening the iBooks app has proven difficult on an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3. I do have a lot of audiobooks but that shouldn't cause iBooks to freeze. Anytime one closes iBooks then reopens it, iBooks freezes. Sometimes it eventually unfreezes. Almost unusable.

    The last page read does not sync on my iPhone (the eBooks I am reading are purchased from the iBook store). It does sync between my iPad and my Mac, but the iPhone doesn't reflect the progress made on other devices, and pages read on the iPhone don't propagate to the them either. What is...

    iBooks doesn't remember last page I was on

    Just lately I've noticed that my iPhone's iBooks app is not remembering the last page I was at, which of course is intensely annoying ! Has anyone else experienced this?
