Books will not update in iBooks

HI, iBooks keeps telling my I have books to update, they start downloading and then fail.
Now I have 4 to update and none of them will update.
I am using Mavericks.
Any suggestions appreciated.

The same things is happening to me.  The updates download completely.  It gives me an error saying the update could not download event though it shows a status like 179.8MB of 179.8MB downloaded.  This has been the case ever since I upgraded.  I am not even sure what it is updating.

    Did you install iOS 8 on a mobile device and upgrade to "iCloud Drive?" If so, your "Documents in the Cloud" are no longer accessible from the iWork applications, and won't be until you upgrade to Yosemite, which will be released sometime during the fall. You can still access them by signing on to icloud.com and using the web version of iWork, which is not much worse than the actual applications.

    Hi Email_user_02,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.  I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
    If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account.  If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct.  However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
    Can you please get your details off to me in an email?  Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile.  Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.
    Cheers

  • HT1338 my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.

    my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.  Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash.   This mac book is less than a month old.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • TS1702 I have an iPad 1. I went to do an update on GarageBand and iBooks but it will not update. How do I return it to the original version?

    I have an iPad 1. I went to do an update on GarageBand and iBooks but it will not update. How do I return it to the original version?

    Well, to paraphrase the old line, "What're you gonna believe, that email or your own lying eyes?"
    The first thing I'd recommend trying is to power down your iPad (press & hold Sleep/Wake until the red OFF slider appears, then slide it to shut down), and then boot it back up and try again. You're resetting a bunch of state signals by doing that and this simple action (the first of a series recommended by Apple in your Users Guide) will quite often clear up these sorts of problems.

  • Old address book will not open in Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to SL, attempting to access AB in the dock brings up the message "This version of Address Book will not open in this operating system. You have Address Book version 4.1.2". Querying Apple Support brought suggestions from reinstalling just Address Book to utilizing Time Machine. Solution was incredibly simple.
    When upgrading to SL, the OS upgraded AB...but only in Applications. If you're getting this message, go to Applications and click on AB there. If it opens, just delete AB in the Dock, then transfer the new, updated AB to the dock, and you're all set.

    Somehow you've retained an old version of Addressbook (version 5.0.3).  The current version is 6.1
    Look in the apps folder to see if you have the current version, the dock icon may be pointing to the old version.
    Regards,

  • OSX Tiger 10.4.3 Will Not Update!!!!!! Please Help....:)

    Can anyone help me???
    I have a Power Book G4 15" Ti 867Mhz1Gb RAM which I recently upgraded the HD to a Samsung 160GB, at the same time I also upgraded OSX from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3.
    Since the upgrade my operating system seems to be stuck on 10.4.3.(ie will not update)
    I have tried everything, from repairing disk to repairing disk permissions (using OSX Tiger install disc), reboot upgrade, reboot archive & install, but i am still not able to update the OSX...:(
    I have manually downloaded Delta (10.4.4) & Combo (10.4.6, 10.4.8 & 10.4.9 PPC updates but they all say my volume does not meet the rquirements.
    I have checked about this mac and i am definitely running 10.4.3....
    Why am I unable to upgrade????
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Many thanks in advance!!!
    Adam

    Hi guys I appreciate your assistance...but i am still stuck on 10.4.3!!
    I just ran archive & install again (OSX 10.4 Tiger) and still I am unable to update from 10.4.3..Is it possible my install disk is faulty??? I have tried absolutely everything including applejack, disk permissions, disk repair ect...nothing seems to make any difference.
    Same old statement when manually updating from apple website (using both delta & combo) "this volume does not meet the requirements"
    My automatic software update works fine, it just installed the latest iTunes 7.2 no problem, it just wont detect the OSX upgrade...:(
    I am about to upgrade my combo drive to a Pioneer DVR K06 and really wanted to upgrade my OSX to 10.4.9 before I install the new optical drive...
    Anyone else have any suggestions????

  • Inspector will not launch in ibooks author

    Been working happily on a book, and now Inspector will not launch in ibook author so I can't add any hyperlinks.
    I can't find a workaround.  Media and other tools are working fine.  I tried closing and re-opening app and shutting down my mac mini. Issue persists.
    Anyone had this?
    thanks!

    I found this about the same issue in iworks and it worked: substituting "ibooksauthor" for "iworks"
    thanks to poster: cm752004
    Re: Frozen Inspector     Aug 20, 2007 2:52 PM    (in response to chelseabees) 
       Hello,
    You should try to delete the iWork/Keynote preference files in:
    Your user folder/Library/Preferences
    and
    Your user folder/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    Their names are "com.apple.iwork08.plist", "com.apple.iwork.keynote.plist", ... etc.
    You should quit iWork/Keynote before doing this.

  • Indd will not update placed images that have type design changes from Ai

    I am creating a book in Indesign ca4 and have placed hundreds of images from Illustrator cs4. These images have unconverted type in them. When i update the font (in FontExplorer X) the files  updates fine in Ai. However, when I go to the Indd file nothing changes. If i click on one of the images and relink then the updated font pops in. Now normally when I change anything else in an Ai file it automatically changes in the Indd file or at least shows that the file needs to be "updated".
    The problem is that I don't want to spend hours clicking each graphic, going to relink find the file, etc. Also, the font change is mearly the same font with a different revision number and it is difficult to even see if the font has actually updated, I would be blind by the time I finished the process of updating each graphic and verifying that it actulally updated.
    I do not want to convert the type to outlines, as this would cause even more time issues.
    I don't understand how the this can happen without a red flag happening somewhere along the process, as the previous font that shows up in Indd no longer exists and the file is not embeded, or converted?

    Peter, thanks for working on this for me I appreciate your heIp. I think what is happening is that when the font is updated it is not acknowledged by the Ai file until it is opened and resaved. Additionally, Ai does not change anything in a file that is resaved unless a change is made. So, what I had to do is open each Ai file and move or nudge some insignificant object or some other change to force an update, then resave the file. Also, if a change is made then undo is selected the file will not update it must be an actual change. Then it will update.

  • IMovie will not update after upgrading to iOS Yosemite
