Q: ibooks quits unexpectedly in El Capitan
I recently upgraded my desktop (a late 2009 1.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) from Yosemite to El Capitan (10.11.6). Up until the upgrade iBooks worked fine, sometimes rather slow to load, but it got the job done.
The first time I opened iBooks in El Capitan it gave me the usual "Welcome to iBooks" screen you get whenever you have a new/updated app. I signed into iCloud and clicked "Get Started" and it goes to a screen that says "Creating iBooks Library, moving 2,702 books..." and then quits within 2 seconds with the "iBooks has quit unexpectedly..." dialogue box. I have tried reopening the app, closing down all my other running apps before opening, and restarting the computer 3 times, but iBooks still quits at the exact same point.
Has anyone else had this problem and how can I fix it? I organize all my PDFs in iBooks to find them easily and this is very irritating.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
