Since Nov 14 I haven't been able to access iBooks. I get the message "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time "

Since Nov 14 I havent been able to access iBooks. I get a window saying "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time" . I have powered off and on countless times but it just won't open. Any suggestions please?

Demo, I tried this but I still get the same message.
When I look at the iBooks app on the iPad screen the slider at the bottom is permanently visible as if it is about to download. When I tap the app to start downloading "waiting" appears underneath for about one second then it disappears and the above message window pops up.
So for the last month I have not been able to read any of the 3 books I recently downloaded. I haven't been able to do much about it as I have been travelling from the UK to Asia (the long way) so Apple stores haven't been on my route. I had hoped to read the books while travelling on various flights but it's been very frustrating not being able to do so.
Thanks for your suggestion. Do you think it could have something to do with my iPad being an older version - MB294B (5.1.1 9B206)? Maybe it's telling me I need to buy a new one.
PS. Exactly the same thing is happening with another of my apps. It is for an online store in the UK which I won't be using again for some time so I'm not too bothered about that one.

Greetings Tim,
When you say the drivers did not install correctly, did you install them via the Apple Software Update?

My computer froze so i manually restarted it. Since then, I haven't been able to proceed past the white loading screen with the grey apple on it. What should I do?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The RepairDisk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Haven't been able to find many books in the iBook Store

I live in Florida and I haven't been able to find best sellers like The richest Man in Babylon or The 4-Hour Workweek.
I am I missing something?

Yeah, not like it could get any whorst... Its already inexistant. Apple are losing a LOAD of money right now to kindle and kobo... And they'll keep losing some as i believe people will not want to look around the 4 e-book apps they have to find in which one they bought THAT ONE book. I might as well delete Ibook...

How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Hello Arthur,
Thank you for the reply.
You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD , pen and paper and CDs .
Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
Thanks
Amanda

I have not been able to access my overall usage for messaging nor calls for two days - is this fix in process?

I'm not sure, but I also have not been able to log into MyVerizon for a day or two. May be related.

HT5622 Hi, For some reason my apple ID has dropped out. It is my email address but now it doesn't recognise it. I haven't used it for months as I haven't been able to access it. I have lots of music I purchased.

I cannot access my Itunes account as it rejects my I.D which is my email address. I just want to access my music and haven't bee able to for months. I have hundreds of dollars worth on there. Thanks Nicole

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Am I the only one who can't log into email?? I haven't been able to access my email all day

I haven't done anything differently. It just stopped working

Also...
"Visual Voicemail is currently unavailable" and my Greeting button is grayed out and deactivated.
I can call in to check it just fine but VisVM is not working either.
FYI...

Apple Configurator 1.3.1 crashes. I haven't been able to prepare any IPad with the configurator.

New to this process and we are setting up bays for IPads in an education environment. I'm able to load a profile (unsupervised) onto an IPad but as soon as I choose supervise and prepare the IPad the Apple Configurator crashes with the error message below. I'm not sure how to proceed from this - running OSX 10.7.5 and configurator 1.3.1. The Mac book pro was bought to supervise the IPads and not used for anything else. Have reinstalled configurator without any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Boy, I sure hope you found a solution to this. THe exact same thing happened top me, yesterday. I thought it was the updates to the iTunes store and the release of iOS 7. However, today, it is still happening. I was partway through setting up iPads for a 1:1 initiative. The first 11 worked fine, then the strangeness started.    Most of it seemed to relate to the iTunes store, but the worst part is exactly as you describe, and I have the same setup.   MacBook Pro specifically to manage the iPads. Configurator crashes whenever a device is hooked up to "supervise" even if it is fresh out of the box. The details on the crash also show the "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'ACUUnpackFirmwareOperation cannot fail the operation and without setting an error'"
Oh, did I mention I have to have the iPads set up next week?
HELP!

I haven't been able to access the iTunes store for almost a year, having been knocked out after downloading an iTunes update. With the most recent update, I can no longer access radio broadcasts as well.

To solve the iTunes store problem, I have tried the suggestions suggested by Apple on the website to no avail. Since downloading the last iTunes update, I can no longer access radio broadcasts. It tries to connect to tuning service, but the refreshing catagory list notice never stops and connection is never made. No store connection and no classical radio connection--What will I loose with the next update? I'm not a computer person and don'y know what to do! Help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

No store connection
Could you walk us through what happens when you try to connect to the Store in some more detail, please?

Since I upgraded from Firefox 4.0 to 6.0 I have not been able to access my bookmarks using the dropdown arrow in the Url Bar. How do I activate the dropdown arrow again in order to peruse my Bookmarks and Recently Visted Pages?

I simply want to access the drop down Url to peruse my bookmarks and such, using the arrow in the far right of my URL box.

Right click a tab and you will get the option to bookmark all tabs. Or use keyboard '''Alt + B''' which opens the old style menu. You can make changes to Firefox, as explained in this post: [/questions/799856#answer-155765]

I haven't been able to access the internet using Firefox for over a week. What is causing this? Is there an issue with Firefox?

I can't access the internet using Firefox. My internet connection is working perfectly fine as I can access the internet using internet explorer. I don't feel safe using internet explorer and prefer Firefox. Please help!

Your firewall may not recognize the new version of Firefox; it is just doing its job. You may need to remove references to Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list, then try to go to any website, let your firewall detect the new version of Firefox, and give Firefox the permissions needed by your firewall to access the internet.

HT5622 I just got a replacement phone and am sending my broken phone back. I have not been able to access my information in the Icloud. What do I need to do?

Please tell me what I need to do to access my information in the cloud.

What do you mean by this? Did you restore the phone from an iCloud backup? Did you configure your iCloud account on the replacement phone? Was the original backed up or synced to iCloud to begin with?

I've attempted to set up iCloud on my iPhone - everytime I try to log on to the mail I get the message"incorrect username or password" I have tried deleting iCloud 3 times switching the ooh one on and off and still (and never have) been able to email help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you follow the instructions in the message and contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. If Apple have asked you to contact them, then the issue can only be resolved by them.
