IBooks not downloading

When I am downloading books so that I can read them in iBooks they are showing up in my book library, but they are not downloading.  The bar at the bottom is there but they are not downloading.  I can also get the free samples of the books, but not the books themselves.  Where do I need to look to find the answer for this? Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and couldn't find anything on it.
Thanks for the help.

I have the same issue (iphone 4s).  The cover appears, with the loading bar in it, but it never actually loads. If I uninstall and reinstall the app numerous times I can sometimes get them to load.  BUT, occasionally the will revert to unloaded state and I cant finish reading them!

    Ibook not downloading to my iPad from iTunes U

    How about this... I'm having the same issue w/ my iPad. Bought 3 books tonight, only 1 downloaded. Other 2 show up on my bookshelf but have no progress in their status bar. When I click on purchases and try to download them it takes me back to my bookshelf and then gives me "you have already purchased these, go to purchases to download." It's this never-ending cycle!
    On my MacBook (running everything current), it shows that I've bought these books, but when I try to download them there I get "Cannot check for downloads. iTunes temporarily unavailable." I've re-booted everything (MacBook, iPad, modem, router), even re-installed iTunes.
    Then I tried my iPhone, was able to download other 2 books and then synced it to my MacBook, and then synced that to my iPad. Books showed up normal (was able to open them) once and then reverted back to the "will not open, blank status bar" like before.
    Have rebooted iPad lots, even did your steps 1, 2 & 3.
    Lol, help!

  • Ibooks not downloading on my iphone 5

    Hi.  ibooks isn't downloading on my iPhone 5c. I'm not sure what operating system I'm on.  I did an update in early Jan.  I recently changed the apple ID associated with my iPhone.  ibooks lets me "get" the book, but it just loops the download.  Thank you for any help.

    Because a few million of your closest friends are trying to download it too.
    This NEVER works out well on release day.  Keep tryiing, or better yet, give it a few days.

  • IBooks not downloading my books?

    So im on the iBooks store looking through free books and then I find like 10 that I like. (on my mac air btw) So I download them. Normally when i'm downloading books it takes like a few minutes, but now i'm downloading books and its taking like 2 days! And there not even downloading! It says 0 seconds remaining, and they are never downloading. If I pause all of them and resume only 1 book it fails. I need help, I am dying to read these books they seem awesome. But I cant download them. These pictures down here are just examples and are 2 of the 10 books. I put the 8 others in the purchased ones but aren't downloading so I stopped them. HELP!

    Hey bloodsandguts22
    Check to make sure you can access the iTunes Store as well as the iBooks Store and the settings are correct and nothing is blocking access to the stores. If you are still having issues, the report it to the iBooks Store by following the steps in the second article.

  • IBooks not downloading after iCloud restore

    After installing iOS 6 on my 3rd generation iPad and restoring from iCloud, about a third of my books in ibooks are stuck in the downloading state. They have an empty progress bar across the bottom, and in the Purchases page in the iBookstore they all show up as "Downloading."  I'm unable to select them and delete them.
    I've tried deleting ibooks and restarting. When I reinstall ibooks, the same problems are there. Is there anyway to force ibooks to delete everything?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem. I have the little black progress bars underneath my books but they never fill up with blue. They just sit there indefinitely. I've tried killing iBooks and restarting it but that hasn't helped. I'd rather not delete the iBooks app though because I have other ePub documents and PDF documents that I don't want to risk losing.

  • IBooks not downloading anything...

    iBooks has been giving me a "Not enought storage error" ever since I tried to download a Calculus textbook off of the iBooks store.  The file is 1.8 GB and I have 4.4 GB of free memory on my iPad, so I'm not sure why this is coming up.  After a while of troubleshooting I just re-installed the app and now nothing will download... This is quite an inconvenience at the moment, I have finals to study for and I needed the Calculus textbook I was trying to download.  Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    Try re-downloading the book on your computer and then re-add it to iBooks via the iBooks tab under your iPad in iTunes when it is plugged in to your computer.

    Hi,
    Close the App Store app, the iTunes app and the iBooks app by pressing the Home button twice, and swiping them up.
    Then go to Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
    Open the apps again.
    I'd recommend as well to sign out and in using Settings > iTunes & App Store
    Hope that helps.

  • I have just been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my passport but want to know if I will be charged as I did not download this ?

    I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks.  I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?

    Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
    The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
    If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I have bought and ipad first generation and i would like to put my ebooks on how can I do this please the Ibook app will not download on this ipad

    I have bought a apple ipad 1st generation and I would like to put my ebooks on how would I do this the ibook app will not download on this ipad many thanks for any help offered

    Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
    If the ebooks aren't ibooks, then unless they are digital-rights-management free epubs then you probably won't be able to add them to your computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and sync them to your iPad - in they do have DRM on them then does the store that you got them from have their own app in your computer's iTunes ? If they then you could try the above and see if they have an iOS 5 compatible version available.

  • IBooks2 iBook will not download

    I have purchased the Pearson "Biology" textbook.  I can download the "sample" of that book, and of all the other textbooks just fine.  I can download the full version of other textbooks just fine.  When I try to download the Pearson Biology (from the "purchased" section of the iBook Store) book it shows the progress bar in the book in my library but never progresses.. after some time (and usually some app switching) when I open ibooks again it tells me it could not download "biology" and to ether retry or try again later.  I am connected to Wifi not 3g (3g is disabled) Here is what I have done:
    iBooks and iPad2 (32gig 3g ATT)  is fully up to date, I have uninstalled and reinstalled ibooks...
    Rebooted iPad both by using the hold the sleep button till the slider comes out method, and the holding home and sleep button
    connected to 2 different wifi networks in two different locations...
    disabled and reenabled wifi
    I can download apps, other books, other textbooks etc... just not this one...
    the only thing I did NOT try is sync the iPad with a computer with the ibook downloaded to it...
    Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!

    sync the iPad with a computer with the ibook downloaded to it
    That was going to be my suggestion!

  • Ibooks is not downloading purchases properly and keeps closing the app when I'm reading, every 5 minutes or less...

  • HT201272 Will not download purchased book from iBooks???

    will not download purchased book from iBooks???

    I Just figured this out. I had downloaded a bunch of books on my iPhone and had the greyed-out issue on my iPad with sync collections enabled. Had tried all the same fixes as indicated in this thread and others without success. What worked was restarting my iPad (this may not be a necessary stage) and searching for the titles that were stuck In the iBooks store. As expected each showed an 'in progress' download button. I was finally able to tap this to stop the (non-existent) download, which hadn't been possible within 'My Books' or the 'Purchased' tab on the store. When I tapped the button briefly jumped to 'Read' then changed to the standard iCloud download button for a previous purchase. Tapping this successfully initiated the download, which then synced into the right collection in my library.
    Hope it works for you!
