Most likely synced automatically when you plugged it into your laptop.

    Hi tinashah817,
    Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
    See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -
    iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
    Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

  • I have an iphone and i cant set it up on my phone it says i have to set it up on itunes putting in my verizon information

    i have an iphone and i reset it while it was hooked up to a computer and now its saying i need to enter verizon information and it wont let me set up my phone on the actuall phone

    if you're in the setup assistant process, all you need is a wifi connection or iTunes + valid SIM also you can include an Apple ID.
    what's the exact message you're getting?

    Only its legitimate owner can remove an iPhone from Find My iPhone. If you did not purchase it directly from its legitimate owner you're out of luck.

  • My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs, even thought I submitted the password and ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cant get my old songs back. What do I do?

    My old computer wouldnt let me authorize me to play my songs even though I submitted the password and Windows ID. Now I bought a new computer, and I cannot get my old songs back. What do I do?

    This can be resolved through a phone call to Apple, provided you can pass the verification process:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll need to speak to someone in Account Security.

  • I upgraded my iphone and I cant get mail anymore

    I cant get my e-mail anymore on my phone since the up grade my phone is nothing more then a paper weight now , can I get this dumb upgrade off my phone

    I have the same thing happening to mine. I have an iPhone 3G & I had it connected to my home wifi & it just kept saying it wasn't connected. So I forgot the network & reset my router & it still won't connect. I put in the password & it says that it is the wrong password. I went to a place in town & the wifi didn't have a password & I tried to connect, but it said it was unable to connect. I have no clue what's wrong with it.

  • How can i put a time/date stamp in Apple contacts, "Note"

    how can i automatically put a time/date stamp in Apple contacts, "Note"
    ei , when i enter a new note to a contact. I want the time and date to automatically show at each note.

    This is not a feature in Contacts. I suggest you send Apple feedback to let them know you would like to see this option.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    You can easily add the date stamp using an app like TextExpander.

  • I cant get any pop ups to open? i have allowed sites and still cant get anything, so turned off and still cant enlarge pictures etc thru a pop window

    i have firefox version 3.6.10, and until about a week ago, i had no problems clicking on pictures (example: on ebay) to enlarge them in a new pop window. i have tried disabling the pop up blocker completely, even though i had ebay as an "allow" site on my pop up blocker when it was enabled.
    cant get any pop up to go through. in the lower left hand corner of the window, when i click on a link that should open a pop up window, all it shows is "javascript:;" and nothing happens
    i have updated to the newest version of java and deleted older version.. still having issues

    Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
    Not much you can do, but try this anyway...
    PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

    In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

  • HT4480 I put my itunes dollars into itunes and am trying to use it to buy lion on my PC and I cant get it to work.  I guess I did it wrong, is there a way to get this money to use for the lion app?

    Hi, I put my itunes dollars into itunes thinking I could use it to buy the Lion App and when I went to down load it asked for the money then.  Is there a way to take the money from my itunes account?

    Hi..
    "put my itunes dollars" ...  did you redeem an iTunes gift card? I see you used the link about redeming a code.
    Three ways to purchase Lion
    One if from redeeming an iTunes gift card. Two, setting up a credit or debit card account with iTunes associated with your Apple ID, or purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store (U.S.)
    If you redeemed an iTunes gift card, make sure there is enough funds available. You need to take into account when you purchase apps including Lion, there may be applicable taxes or fees added the original purchase price.

  • HT201441 how can erase a device if i dont have any way of contacting the previous owner? the phone was bought broken off craigslist. I had it fixed now I cant access it due to the phone being locked to there icloud

    is there anyway i can remove my iphone from previous owners icloud/ itunes account. if i cant contact them? there has to be something that can be done . the phone is use less if i cant link it to my on account. Please help.

    If this phone you bought was already running iOS 7 and had the new activation lock enabled, you can't do anything.
    That's the whole point of the feature. If it could be bypassed it would be a pointless feature.
    If you can't get the previous owner to unlock it, you've wasted your money.

  • I have 15,686 photos on iPhoto 11 and am now, when uploading latest photos, getting a message saying that my startup disk is full.  Is there any way of increasing the capacity of the start up disk?

    I have 15,686 photos on iPhoto 11.  As I've been uploading the latest photos in the last two days I've been getting a message stating that my start-up disk is nearly full.  I had no idea there was a limit.  Is there any way of increasing its capacity?  I have been shooting in Raw of late and I know it takes up a lot of space but I have heard of other people who have over 20,000 photos on their computers, so what is going on here??

    Two possibiilities here:
    1. Your start up disk is nearly full
    Or
    2. You have minor damage to the iPhoto Library and it's giving you a bogus message.
    But here's the thing: A full start up disk is a very serious issue and needs to be dealt with fast.
    So, how big is your Hard Disk? How much free space on it?

  • I have more than one ID and I don't remember the password to the old one which I purchased music under nor do I have the old email account...

    Please help...I have one than more IDs. I cant remember the password or the email account that I purchased most of my music under. My computer is authorized under my current ID but not my old one. When I try to enter the answers to my security questions I get an error message that my birthdate is wrong.... any thoughts?...

    If you can't reset the password by email, and you put the wrong date of birth on your account, then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset the password for you (they should be able to if they can confirm your id and that it's your account).
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When it's been reset you can login to the account on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password & Security section of your account, answer your security questions, and check your date of birth

  • A few months ago i lost my ipod nano im pretty sure its in the house but i cant find it i dont have i cloud and i cant get it because i forgot what email i used what my password was and im using a new laptop now is there any way apple could look for it

    so basically i want to know whether or not apple could do something to find it

    There is no way to remotely track or disable an iPod nano, either for you or Apple. As it can't connect to the Internet on its own, Find my iPhone isn't available for it.

  • I have downloaded something and I cant get rid of it

    I downloaded paint.com cos I had to delete it ages ago but I dont have any photo editing software. However, unbeknown to me, it also added Delta browser which is bloody annoying and I don't want it. I have removed the software, and also the delta browser and toolbar but when I open a new tab it is Delta now instead of Google as it was before. I have done two system restores back to a month ago but Delta remains. I don't want it, I don't like it and I am totally ready to throw the thing out the window there is no trace of it in my Add/Remove programs anymore. ARGH!!! Someone help? I want my old Firefox browser back.

    Hi,
    delete a possible user.js file in the firefox profile folder, and use the searchreset tool, follow the links below.
