IPad won't open iBooks - error message that book isn't formatted correctly, iPad is fully updated and I've tried deleting and reloading iBooks - only thing that has happened between when it used to work and now doesn't is that I took the iPad to singapore

iPad used to open iBooks purchased off iTunes no problems but since I took my iPad overseas on holiday it no longer opens iBooks - they appear to download ok but when I tap to open the book I get an error message saying the book isn't formatted correctly or is in a format that iBooks doesn't recognise. I have tried
- deleting and reloading iBooks
- making all updates have been done
- turning on and off airplane mode
And still have the problems
Did ask iTunes help but so far no joy - appreciate help please

Ok, I got the 1.3/1.4 thing straight now. There was a java.exe in System32 that I now see the PATH was calling first.
And in the TextPad version of the problem, I was curious -- I don't remember setting the specification of the executable called by the Run Tool button, but I must have at some point. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and it created a default button that apparently points to what it's supposed to point to, since it now works and runs my program OK.
Still, I wonder how it can be that explicitly directing the button to C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\java.exe makes TextPad's Command Results Window say "NoClassDefFoundError"
I'm up and working now, but if anyone has a clue I can learn from on the TextPad issue, thanks

  • HT1766 My ipad won't open anything. Message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks.Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.

    My ipad won't open anything. I get the message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. This device has beern plugged in and has 62% power. I can't access any buttons including the ok under the icloud backup message.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPad Won't Backup - No Error Message

    iOS 6.1.3
    64GB iPad with Retina Display
    12.7 GB iCloud storage available
    Current backup (July 6, 2013) uses 9.6 GB
    Last iPad backup was July 6, 2013.
    I have reset the iPad (Home Button + Power Button)
    At the moment I am trying a manual backup. Here's what I see:
    Spinning progress indicator followed by "Backing Up..."
    A progress bar that hasn't budged in an hour.
    A message stating "Estimated time remaining..." which has been there for the same hour.
    My iPhone, on the same wireless LAN and the same iCloud account backs up regularly, all by itself.
    My iPad used to backup regularly, all by itself, but, for reasons that remain mysterious, stopped on July 6, 2013. Every night my iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to the wireless LAN. Everything else works fine.
    What now?

    Still no success, but I think I understand what's going on....
    Every few months I go on a dive trip. During those trips I am away from the mainland and away from the Internet for five or six days at a time. Also during those trips I transfer many gigabytes of photos and videos from various cameras to my iPad.
    My guess is that when I finally have a WiFi Internet connection again, iOS simply cannot cope with the huge amount of new data that needs to be backed up to iCloud. So, it fails without issuing any sort of meaningful error message.
    Any idea how I can report to Apple this serious flaw in iOS iCloud backups?

  • ITunes Setup downloads iTunes 7, but iTunes 7 won't open, no error message

    So I've been at this for months, trying to update my iTunes from 6 to 7, and previous versions have opened on my laptop, but this time, NO! I've downloaded the setup for 7, it loads the program and we restart the computer so that it can get the new parameters straight, so then I try to open iTunes and the mouse pointer gives me the hourglass and the iTunes icon flickers and turns to a white box for a split second and back to the regular icon. The program doesn't open, I don't see an error message, nothing. I got an Ipod nano for Christmas and I can't use it because it needs iTunes 7! Has anyone had this problem? I've read so many threads and topics here but I haven't seen any answers to this one!
    I've tried reinstalling it and deleting it and reinstalling it. I've also just tried updating using the Apple Software Updater (instead of downloading from the Apple website) and it gives me an error. Hmmm... I guess I should figure out what that error says too. But anyway, I need help!

    So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
    XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
    that's not working either... I wonder if you know
    windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
    x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
    do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
    raising the security settings but nothing appears...
    interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

  • Firefox won't open - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in place on this account..."

    I can't open firefox - every time I try I get the above error message. This has started after no apparent changes or updates to my system, just a normal shut down. I have tried changing the registry .htm, .html etc. file names and reinstalling as suggested but this doesn't work. The only way I can open firefox is after I have reinstalled it and it automatically launches a browser.
    I can open firefox in a new user account which suggests something has changed in the account I usually use but I have no idea what since I have not made any changes myself and can't see anything that would suggest it is blocking firefox from opening. I've run a virus scan and it is coming up clean.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be very grateful for some help.
    Thank you.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • ITunes won't open - wordless error message

    When I try to open itunes, I get a wordless error message that only shows a red octagon behind the itunes application symbol. The only option is to click 'OK'. Any ideas what this is and how to deal with it? I haven't used itunes in a few weeks, so I have no idea when this problem occurred. I've searched online and in the forum, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious!

    Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ directory and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • ITunes won't open, QuickTime error message

    By accident, I deleted QuickTime, and can now not open iTunes, so I downloaded QuickTime again, recieved a message that QuickTime has been successfully downloaded, but when I try to open/run it, I get this error message:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ContentIE5\TYMNQEZC\Quicktimeinstaller[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application"
    I am a computer illiterate, Please help me!

    hmmm. let's try an alternate technique for swapping out your QuickTime that doesn't involve redownloading an installer.
    first let's just make sure your previous QuickTime is thoroughly gone.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • FCP won't open - no error message

    When I try to open FCP from the Dock the little light below the icon lights up for about a second and then nothing happens. When I try to open it from the Applications folder the icon will do it's "zoom" animation but still nothing happens. If I do cmdoptesc it doesn't show up but do cmd+i on the icon it says it was just opened.
    I read I should delete my preferences, but I can't find any relating to FCP:
    I downloaded Preference Manager and used it to delete FCP preferences but it still won't open.
    Here are the basics of my computer:
    osx 10.5.5
    FCP 6.0.5
    Caldigit HDPro 1.6
    I realize I have old versions of everything but up until now it all worked.

    Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on the system drive.
    Restart, try FCP again, post your results.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open, get error message from Windows user acct controls

    Using Windows 7. Installed okay and all other components of CS work. User acct Control asks permission to change C drive. Whatever I answer does not work. I have answered yes or no, give admin priviliges, reset user acct control settings, reinstalled, etc.

    Can you please post the exact error message you are receiving?  Did you receive any error messages during the install process?  Has Acrobat X ever worked on your Windows 7 system?

  • Itunes 7 won't open, no error message, also another new strange problem

    I found a thread for this awhile ago and followed it and it worked. However, I can't find the thread again, and after I restarted my computer, itunes once again would not open. I'm not getting any error message, just a brief moment with the hourglass symbol up and then nothing. So far I have uninstalled all itunes/quicktime products from my computer and reinstalled a few times, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
    (3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?
