ibook error message

I am receiving the exact error message with my books on my ipod touch 4. I also just updated the software.

I've got exactly the same thing in the french version of Steve Jobs' bio...

😕

I downloaded the iBooks 1.3.2 app which is to improve compatibility with iOS 5 and now my books work and appear in full. Hope this works for you too.

Thanks so much, Michelle. I've spent about 8 hours at the Apple store and on the phone with Apple Tech Support, the last few with a Senior Tech Advisor, who is going to forward my extensive documentation of the problem to the engineering department. But this simple fix took care of the problem, and now all my books are working again. I wish I'd thought to Google the message before; after all the troubleshooting we went through I lost all my bookmarks and highlighting. Very frustrating. Talk about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing!

How did you know there even was an upgrade for iBooks? I thought iTunes would notify me but it didn't.

I'm glad this worked for you too. I received and email from iBookstore regarding $3.99 books. At the bottom of the email was a section about iCloud with a link to download iBooks.

Hi,

I had a similar problem. I had downloaded a new book using my iPad. I then just synched with my Mac and the book on the iPad became unreadable and displayed a similar error message.

I have not upgraded my iPad to iOS5, because the upgrade created a few problems on my phone. But I went back to iTunes and upgraded to the latest version of iBooks.

After the iBook upgrade, I was able to read my book and all of my bookmarks and highlights were preserved.

So if you encounter a similar problem, make sure that you have the latest version of iBooks before doing anything more drastic.

Ok. Not sure if this works for everyone, but for me it was real simple. After reading the forums for about 3 hours. I simply went to my ipad, to the app store, searched for ibooks, it already had an 'update' button waiting. I updated and now the ages are back. hoe this works for you.

hi - exact same experience as the other folks. appears upgrading to the new op system screwed up the version of Books that was installed. Going to the app store and downloading the 1.5 version fixed it. thanks to all
