ibooks doesn't work on ios 9.3 or 9.3.1! ideas for fixing?
Hello guys,
since I updated my iphone 6 to ios 9.3 or also 9.3.1 ibooks is completly unuseable. Since i can't jump back to ios 9.2 anymore I really need to fix this. I have a rather large collection of PDFs, ebooks (not bought via itunes) and general epub data. Before the update i never had problems with ibooks whatsoever, even though the collection was big.
The problem is now:
1. I can't open any books in ibooks.
- they are there, i can see them but clicking on them does nothing. once every blue moon one might open but breaks down very fast again.
2. the round loading sign more or less never disappears
- i already let the sign load to its hearts content for a few hours till it stops but when you dare to use the app then it happens again
3. i can't delete any books/data in ibooks directly anymore
- when the loading sign stops and i attempt to delete sth. i can go through the deleting motions but after clicking on deleting nothing happens. the data is still there.
4. around 95% of the book covers/data covers are missing
- there are just the white boxes instead
- sometimes the covers will appear again when i wait really long for it, but when i scroll past them and then back ibooks "forgot" everything about this book again.
The problem also didn't disappear when using a new phone btw. I tried everything again with a new iphone 6s. still no change. it has to be a software bug.
Any ideas what i could do?
What I already tried:
1. on/off
2. hard reset
3. deleting everything and putting it back on (took hours and no change)
4. configure it as a new phone
5. deleting all settings (without deleting the media)
6. deleting everything apple/itunes/itunes mediathek from my pc and downloading it anew (which meant making the whole mediathek anew)
7. switching between backups
Could apple please do sth. about it?!
