Ipad Mini instruction manual dissappears

[pcdrone]

Today I bought an ipad mini and had them download the manual so I could learn how to use it. I just started reading it and I must of touch something and it disappeared.
The ibook icon is still there but when it opens there is nothing there. Any suggestions of what happen and how to get it back?

Hello and welcome to the forum! Well, my first suggestion was to open iBooks, and press 'Collections' in the left upper corner - 'Books' & 'PDFs' are listed and files may be stored in one or the other site, but since you are seeing the icon not sure that is the issue - however, try there first. If not helpful, then you might want to 'Force Close' the iBooks app (see directions below and assume you are running iOS 7.04, so use that choice) (also make sure iBooks is closed before going to the multitask screen). If still not helpful, you can always re-download the manual - Located HERE - good luck and let us know if your issue is resolved; if not, then just post back here for further advise. Dave

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up):
a. iOS 6.x - press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.
b. iOS 7.x - find the offending app - then press and drag to the top of the screen - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
