I just purchased a new book from the iBook store. When I tried opening it on my Mac I get a message box saying "The book is corrupt." I deleted it and redownloaded - same problem. Tried this several times, redownloading from two different places (both in the library and from the purchases section in the store) and it's not making any difference.
Any idea how I can get a non-corrupt version?
Did you ever solve this? I still can't open any of my purchased iBooks.
Click on go > hold option key > library > preferences find a file com.apple.ibooks.plist right click on it and move to trash .
Restart from apple logo and empty the trash
The GO > Hold Option Key didn't work, but I did I find com.apple.ibooks.plist in $HOME/Library/Preferences. I deleted it and did a restart. It didn't work.😟
After deleting the corrupted plist from preferences folder into the trash, it is compulsory to first restart the system from apple logo and then empty the trash .
If the trash is not emptied it will remain in system , by doing so a fresh new plist will be recreated once again .
I have the same issue. Deleting the plist did not work for me either. I emptied trash as well. About half my iBooks purchased books will not open.
Corrupt iBook, redownloading doesn't fix
