Bug on iBooks and bookstore

Hey,
Yesterday i bought on the iPad a new book and after the download finishes, the book still showing the empty download progress bar, and now I can't open the book or even delete it.
What should I do to have this book available to stat reading it?
I tried the following procedures:
1. Close the iBook and re-open it.
2. Shutdown the iPad (power button)
3. Force restart the ipad (home + power buttons)
Unfortunately none of them worked...
I appreciate if anyone help me with that.
Thanks in advance
Regards,

Apparently Apple's main time server (time.apple.com) thinks Brazil already entered our Daylight Saving Time (DST) period, though it is actually scheduled to start in one week from now.
It isn't the server that determines the local time but the settings & data files in the OS that derive local time from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) supplied by the server. When local governments change the rules for the date of the DST switch, the data file(s) containing the rule information must be updated on each computer in way that each OS understands. Unfortunately, for OS X this seems to be more complex than recompiling files in /usr/share/zoneinfo with the "zic" command, so users apparently cannot do this for themselves.
Your best bet is to send Apple feedback about this, asking for an update containing the appropriate files.

Synchronizing deletions between iBooks and iTunes: bug?

Hi everyone,
my iPad2 is configured so to auto-sync all pdfs I have in iTunes.
I delete a pdf on the iPad, then sync with cable.
What I see is that
1) iTunes switches to MANUAL pdf sync
2) it builds up a list of pdfs to sync which (correctly) does not include the deleted items.
But this sounds like a giant bug, because
1) all the books I add to iTunes from that moment on don't get copied;
2) even worse, if I restore auto-sync for all books, then the deleted files reappear on the iPad (I have ~750 math articles...).
Is there a better procedure for deletion?
Otherwise, I'll give up using iBooks and switch to some more serious 3rd party application...

Ratings will only sychronise if you are updating your iPod automatically. If you are managing your songs manually then the iPod and iTunes are by definition not in sync. I have seen Apple Scripts and software for Mac that will sync information, you could try Google to see if anything similar exists for Windows.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Critical Keynote widget bug on iBooks Author 2.2

Hello,
I think I found a bug on ibooks Author 2.2. If a Keynote widget is added to a .iba document created on IBA 2.2, it cannot be previewed in iBooks 3.2 for iOS 7 or iBooks 1.0.1 for OSX Mavericks. The widget only works when viewed on iOS 8 or OSX Yosemite.
Check the attached screenshot.
Has anybody experienced this bug? Any ideas or fixes?
I think this should be fixed ASAP because there are still thousands of users reading ibooks on iPads with iOS 7 or earlier installed.

Confirmed. This isn't the only time we've had issues with the keynote widget. Because of this and a number of other issues and glitches with ibooks / ibooks author we've stopped recommending it to our clients as a platform for professional use. A pity as it showed great promise at first. The support is non existent (of course) and the software may or may not work depending on so many factors that it seems more like a hobby software project than something published by a professional outfit.

IBooks and background mic use - a warning

I like iBooks - I prefer the way it works, in general, to kindle, with more options for how the text is handled.
I also like the inception app (the app from the film), which plays gentle ambient music and plays with the sounds around you using the mic. However, when it runs in the background, a red bar appears at the top of the page - this is an apple insistence, presumably so you know the mic's being used, but this pushes everything else down a bit. It's a bit clumsy just shoving everything down the page, but not generally an issue.
However, in iBooks, the footer stays where it is andthe app chops off the bottom of the last line of each page, or, in some circumstances, the entire line.
As you can imagine, it makes the two apps incompatible and unusuable.
i like to read while using the inception app in the background; but that's not possible using iBooks and means i will never buy from apple ibooks again while this bug exists.
I've sent feedback to Apple; but if lots of million people asking them to fix the alarm bug falls on deaf ears, I can't imagine my feedback email will even be read by anyone.

King_Penguin, I'm a bit confused as to this process. I have two macbooks with an epub saved and loaded in iBooks library of macbook-A. I can see an ebook that I previously purchased, with the 'cloud' badge in the corner of the ebook, on macbook-A and macbook-B which means that iCloud has synced the ebook and is available for download on either machine. Should it not work the same for an ebook I've loaded onto my library on macbook-A. In other words, shouldn't iCloud sync my new ebook, which i installed on macbook-A, across macbook-B? and for that matter, any other iCloud enabled device?
I suppose I could transfer the file onto the other machine and load it onto that library as well, but I dont see why it won't sync. Thanks for any help!
Background:
- Both macbooks devices are signed into same apple ID. I verified this through iTunes and iBooks.
- Both devices are running Mavericks OS. iBooks vers. 1.0.1
- In system preferences>iCloud both devices are logged into same apple ID. However, I don't see an option for
iBooks content to be synced in iCloud.
- Both macbook-A and B have 'Show Purchases in iCloud' option checked under iBooks>View menu

Problems Importing pdfs into iBook and sync to iPad air 2

Is there a solution to what appears to be a widespread problem within the community? That of not being able to import books in pdf form into iBooks and subsequently syncing with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1. This seems to be specific to pdfs not 'purchased' from iTunes. In the past I have had all my software manuals available on my iPad, synced with my iMac, all working happily and would dearly love to return this situation.
I then upgraded to iOS 8. Big mistake. iTunes on the iMac (OS 10.6.8) does not sync pdfs to new iPad.
Try syncing from MacBookPro (OS 10.10) still no luck.
There are suggestions to use iTunes, but there is no longer an option to view 'Books' in iTunes.
Can anybody offer a work around until such times as the collective 'apple digit' is removed and a not so 'minor bug' is fixed?
Are Apple working on this problem or even aware of it?

Have you tried the shortcut to add books/pdfs Command Shift O?
Command Shift O is not available in iBooks (Greyed Out)
Command Shift in Finder shortcuts to Documents
Maybe I didn't explain myself very well earlier. When I am working in iBooks, having control clicked multiple files and selected 'Open With iBooks' to get the pdfs into iBooks, (as per your suggestion) a click on a pdf icon initiates nothing, a double click causes the pdf to open in Preview. This I can achieve from the Finder.
The reason I haven't tried to sync from the MBP is that I rely on iPad iBooks as a reference source. At the moment it is working but not the way I want it to (Sync via iMac 10.8.6). When Ibooks on the MBP is finally OK, then I will try.
Thanks for hanging in there.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

Some images won't load in Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store

Since my upgrade to Mavericks, some images on Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store wont load some times. I can't figure out the source of problem, but I've tested all four apps and the same problem exists across all of them; I've also tested Chrome, Firefox and Opera to see if they are suffering from the same problem, and surprisingly enough I've found that they are not; They load images perfectly well, and I've never encountered one to not load images. I'm totally confused and frustrated, what is preventing Apple products to load images? Here are some screenshots:

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

How do I remove an unwanted toolbar? I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it. It involves using Bing for everything as well. It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

How do I remove an unwanted toolbar? I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it. It involves using Bing for everything as well. It's very annoying and I want to remove it. I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site. It takes me to all of Bing's choices. Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time. Can anyone help?

Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

How can I control my ibook and pc from an iPhone/iPod 5 ?

Hello
I have recently bought an iPod 5th Generation and I'm very happy with it !! My question is.
I have an old laptop iBook and it is connected to a hard disk where I stock my music.... So basically, this old computer is my jukebox. The only problem is that the screen on the iBook doesnt work very well (I must press really strong alongside the mousepad in order to see something). So I was wondering if I could control and see (select music and more), from my iPod touch ? Should I absolutely need to have an Apple TV ?
Is there an APP so I could control my iBook from my Ipod ?
I also have another laptop (PC) and I was wonder if I could control everything from my ipod touch ? It could be really fun.
Many thanks, C.

Remote app controls computer iTunes and AppleTV if you have one. You need the latest iTunes/AppleTV.

HT1688 I updated my iPhone 5C to the iOS 7.0.1 "bug fixes" update and it has made my phone glitch constantly and has just made it a complete nightmare. How can I go back down to iOS 7?

basically yeah, I updated my software because it said that iOS 7.0.1 was out as a bug fixes update and now my phone constantly glitches the **** out, its super slow, and it pretty much created more bugs than it did fix them. So how can I go back to iOS 7? because 7.0.1 is an absolute nightmare.

Try updating to iOS 7.0.2.
Does your iPhone still have performance issues? Have you tried the basics?

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

PDFs in iTunes not transferring to iPhone or iBooks and cannot be deleted

I have a few PDF files that I added to iTunes which show up in iTunes under books, but when I either click select all or select those specific books they WILL NOT sync to the actual iPhone. They also WILL NOT transfer to iBOOKS and even worse while they appear in the iTunes library as selectable for copying to devices there DOES NOT APPEAR to be any way to delete or find them.
HELP!!!
I am guessing that the problem has to do with these PDF files NOT being totally compatible with iTunes or iBooks and so they were uploadable, but once there they are stranded and unusable.
Does someone know:
1. How to find these files and delete them from iTunes
2. How to get them into a format that will actually work so I can read them on my phone and other Apple devices.
I am using an iPhone 6 plus with 8.1 and a Macbook Pro with the latest version of Yosemite. I believe that my iTunes and iBooks are also the latest versions.
Thanks.

I have an update. When I convert the original PDF files using CALIBRE to EPUB format (the mac format). I am able to get the files to import directly (ie be added to library) of iBooks and then to iTunes and my phone. I think this confirms that the problem is likely to be one of file incompatibility. However, the file is NOT totally incompatible and so will show up in the part of iTunes where you are supposed to be able to click on it to add it to your device. The problem is that since its not completely compatible clicking on it WON'T allow it to transfer to your device. Fixing this either requires converting this PDF to another PDF format that is compatible, or better yet just convert it to EPUB which presumably will be MORE compatible and allow you to do more features in iBooks (such as resize the fonts etc).
I still have the problem of figuring out how to find and delete the original PDF files which are clearly not any good. I suppose we can go to the root finder level, but where should they be as I don't see them in the iTunes books library?
Any suggestions?

I preordered a book on iBooks and it downloaded but now it won't actually let me open it or any other book in my library, help?

So I preordered a book last night that was due to be released today, this morning I woke up very excited and eager to start reading it BUT when I tried to open it to start reading a message came up: 'Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing' after a while I tried it again but again the same message came up, I then tried to open some of my other books that I've already read and the same message came up? I've tried rebooting so please don't waste my time saying that!
Please help me!
p.s. I have an iPad mini, and I'm using iBooks and this has never happened before!
Thank you

Have you tried removing the app then re-installing it?

Headless g4, ibook and intel imac (2.33ghz) issue

Ok so I have a small network hooked up through an ethernet switch. I have my iMac running ARD 3.2 and it works perfectly with my ibook both through ethernet and airport. When I plug my headless g4 quicksilver into the ethernet swtich I get nothing. Even using a fixed IP address and searching for it on ARD wont allow me to connect and control it. I've tried attaching a VGA cable and the VGA to mini DV adapter to my ibook and using that as the G4's "monitor" and nothing still. When i boot from the g4 disk on my ibook, I cant see any of the SATA drives hooked up to the SATA card inside and i am at a complete loss of what to do. I really need to be able to access those hard drives and do not have a monitor with which to set up the g4 tower. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've tried attaching a VGA cable and the VGA to mini DV adapter to my ibook and using that as the G4's "monitor" and nothing still.
That won't work. The video port on your iBook is output only, for using an external monitor with the iBook. You cannot use that port to use the iBook's screen with another computer.
When i boot from the g4 disk on my ibook, I cant see any of the SATA drives hooked up to the SATA card inside
I presume you mean via Firewire Target Disk Mode? If so, that won't work with drives connected to an any PCI card. Target Disk Mode on a G4 will only show the primary ATA hard drive connected to the motherboard's ATA bus.
As to ARD, I presume that you are certain that the ARD client on the G4 is active and appropriately set up? If so, I've read reports of difficulties observing and controlling some systems when they don't have a monitor connected, at least to get things set up and working. So it's quite possible that you'll need to borrow a monitor for the G4, at least temporarily, to get everything set up and working, particularly if you haven't or aren't certain you have set up the ARD client.
Regards.
