Cannot download book from ibooks store on iphone

I appear to be having a problem downloading any book within ibooks on my iphone 3g running ios4.
In one case, I have already purchased the book from my ipad and trying to redownload the book on my iphone I continue to get an message
"Sign in required, tap continue to sign in to continue synching your bookmarks with other devices"
I enter my credentials but the popup continues to appear over and over again at which point I instead hit cancel.
The book now appears to have fully downloaded but it stays 'stuck' with the progress bar filled but I do not have the ability to open the book and the progress indicator continues to spin.
This happens for both 'paid' books and 'free' books.
I tried to download the book again this time with the 'sync bookmarks' feature disabled within system preferences and the same problem happens. The book downloads with a full progress bar, but it never saves.
I tried:
- disabled sync feature
- rebooting phone
- deleting and re-installing iBooks
Thoughts? Thanks!

Dears, the case is sorted now, and I am sharing the YouTube link which helped me to sort this issue, to help others.

it was simple due to not setting the date and time automatically in : Settings-General-Date and Time, then set automatically.

Cannot download apps from App Store to iPhone 4S

In the App Store, the app downloads and says open. Nothing happens. There is no icon on the phon

Have you taken your phone to an Apple Store? They can run a bunch of tests on your phone.
I would try a Hard Reset (Hold the home and power button). Phone should turn off then turn back on, on its own.
Try resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings. If that doesn't would you need to do a FULL restore. Do not restore from backup.

Cannot download books from iBooks. The books are not visible

Please help

Hi,
Can you access that URL when you paste it into your browser? You don't need to configure system global settings unless you want to go to PI's navigator automatically - you can always copy & paste the link after opening the wsnavigator in PI yourself as well. If you can access the link, kindly check your network & proxy setup.

I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store

I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store, even with ios 6. A message "This app is incompatible with this iphone" appeared. What should I do?

Hi there joannelim5288!
I have found an article that can help you to troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Specifically, the first three steps listed in the article, and outlined here below, might be the most helpful to you:
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HT4059 my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

Hi, debikay45.
Test to see if you can download a free application from the App Store. If this was successful, test downloading the book again. Try closing all open applications and power cycling the device, test the results. Make sure you have an active Internet connection. If these results were unsuccessful, see the steps in the article below that refer to iOS.
Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)
Make sure the issue is with the iTunes Store only. (You need an Internet connection to access the iTunes Store).Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for the iTunes Store. This also tests if the main ports 80 and 443 are accessible. If the website works but the iTunes Store does not, it is most likely a firewall blocking the iTunes software or servers. If this is the case, follow the steps in the "Blocked by software firewall" section below.
Test using another device.If possible, another device, ideally on a different network, would help troubleshooting any iTunes Store issues most efficiently. If another device on another network has issues, the iTunes Store may be undergoing maintenance, and will be available soon.
Test using another network.
Connect your computer or device to another network and testing helps determine the next step. This is also helpful if multiple devices are affected.
If your device can connect to Wi-Fi and a cellular network, larger downloads may not be possible over the cellular network.
If the issue disappears while connected to another network, you may need to work with your support options to open access to:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
albert.apple.com
gs.apple.com
ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
mzstatic.com
Note: iTunes may use the fully qualified version of these addresses for additional security.
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
It is critical that your date, time, and time zone be correct:Windows:
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
Click "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options" and then click Date and Time.
Click the Date & Time tab.
Make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time and then click OK.
Mac OS X:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
In System Preferences, click Date & Time.
Enable the option to "Set date and time automatically" if it is not.
Click the Time Zone tab and adjust the time zone to match your current location.
iOS:
From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.
Remove any restrictions that may be causing the issue:
Windows:
It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account.
Refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
You can also check using iTunes Diagnostics if you are recognized as an administrator by iTunes.
Mac OS X:
It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account. To become an administrator account, from the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
In System Preferences, click Accounts.
You may need to unlock the lock in the bottom-left corner of the window to make changes. If you can unlock the lock, you are already an admin user.
Under the account you are using, it may say "Standard." Enable the option to "Allow user to administer this computer" to make the user an admin account user.
From the Apple () menu, choose Log Out.
Log back in and return to using iTunes. Test to see if the issue is resolved.
iOS: Restrictions can limit your ability to purchase some content. Check restrictions via Settings> General > Restrictions if you're unsure about those settings.
After isolating the issue to iTunes by following the above steps:
If the issue still occurs and iTunes displays an alert message with a specific code, please see the section below titled "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" for additional troubleshooting steps.
If the issue is still not resolved and there is no specific code or alert message, you can visit the iTunes Store Discussion Board to try to find additional information for help resolving your issue:
You can also contact AppleCare to discuss your support options. Depending on your product’s coverage status, you may need to pay for support.
iTunes Store Discussion Board (Mac)

New routers or a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) may limit your ability to connect to iTunes Store. Let your router manufacturer or your ISP know about the ports and servers in this article and confirm that they are compatible.

Purchased two books from IBooks store, no pictures.

I purchased two books from IBooks store (both $12.99). "A Company of Heroes" is one. The books are excellent but do not contain any pictures that the hardcover editions have in my local bookstore. I could have bought the print versions for around $15.00, now I feel it was a waste of $$. I checked all the settings and the addendum has a list of all photos in the book but no way to access them, if they are even there. Any thoughts

It's apparently quite difficult in the current ePub specification to do layouts that combine images and text. The Winnie-the-Pooh book is frequently held up as a very hand-crafted example not easy to duplicate. Supposedly the publishers and other concerned parties are working on updating the specification to address some of ePub's shortcomings, but what might come of that and when is difficult to estimate.

Asked to put security questions and answers. Click "Done" and it does not lead me anywhere. Now cannot download anything from iTunes Store.

Anyone has been having this problem?

I have the same issue, bteween France and The Netherlands. No solution found yet.
Worse even. My credit card is not from The Netherlands, and the dutch store does not accept a creditcard from outside NL. So i used my french card to buy one app using France has my home country. Luckily the app's language remained English, but now the french store seems to be offering me frech versions of existing (free) apps which i dont want. So i cant use the updates.
i cant change the country back to Neterlands, without using a credit card. I can make a new ID, but the old one remains stuck with the french store, pffff It seems the only solution is to create a new ID via a "purchase" of a free app, but the older free apps all may need to be reinstalled that way.
Typical Apple ..... ? ! !
I may regret having purchased this ipad.....

i cannot download app from app store the icon in blocked in pause

Did you check all of your pages?
Usually the new apps will be placed on the last page.
To check if the app was downloaded successfully in the app store instead of install or download you will see open... can you verify that it says open?

HT201272 Trying to download book from iBooks. When I press the cloud to download, I get a ,message that I have already purchased the book, go to store, chose purchases, and select download. I am in a continuous loop of the same message. Any ideas?

Purchased book from iBooks. Went to store - purchases- chose the book to download by choosing the cloud with down arrow. Get message that I have already purchased the book, go the store purchases to download, which is exactly what I am trying to do. I am just in a continuous loop, but can't get the book to download. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.

How do I remove my book from iBook store

I have a time sensitive book in the iBook store and would like to remove it. How do I remove it so that nobody can continue to download it?

Ever heard of.. "Dont Shoot The Messenger".....
A questions was asked - the asnwer was given.
IF you were not happy with the answer and considered that unlike other you could not understand it... you could have - politely- asked for a clarification.
Also.. you can contact iBooks support very easily.
My Question is
who is allowing the fictitious answers that mean nothing but a waste of time
Fictitious - ie not true? What really wastes time is asking questions without looking on the forum for previous posts on the same subject. Another waste of time is attacking the very folk who try to help you.
Nobody allows anything on this forum, it all done voluntarily by dedicated folk who give up their time to help others. KT is perhaps the most knowledgeable on this forum - but without FULL information he cannot be expected to know what's in your mind.
Your book and everybody who submits it to the review team for inclusion in the store and is accepted - can NEVER be removed by its author. Apple require its history for accounting and inventory purposes.
Any author can withdraw a book from the store wether its free or paid account by using iTunes connect and navigate to the Rights and territories page and de-selecting either individual countries or all.
Apple then remove it from public access.
If you want to know how to remove anything from your personal purchasing... assuming you mean books downloaded to your iPad... simply delete it and also delete it from your iTunes account. If thats not enough information - then you need to find a different forum that one dealing with iBooks Author related issues.

Donnot erase your iPad air 2 when cannot download app from App store

Hey, I got a 64gb new iPad air 2 last week. while I was downloading apps from App Store, it suddenly could not tell apps. The downloading one became white. And then did't work. After that I had very slow speed connecting App Store, and could hardly download anything. And wifi also became very very slow. My iphone 6 and iPad 2 didn't have this happen, so I figured out it was something wrong with my new iPad Air 2. I've searched many blogs and tried everything, including resetting network, switching on and off wifi, powering on and off the new iPad air 2, nothing getting better. Finally, I had no choice but erasing EVERYTHING on it, after trying all possible solutions over a night, it still didn't work! there must be something wrong with the wifi chip in it. It's really frustrating!
SO, I'd like to say to you if you have the same problem like this, do NOT erase everything, or you'll lose everything without solving the problem! I'd also say a few words to Apple company: I bought my ipad 2 the day it was issued by your company, it works so well in the past years, never crushed down or frustrated me like this. But I got the iPad air 2 for only a week, I have been struggling on solving app downloading and wifi issues for hours! What's the problem with you company? this would never happen with Steve! Earning money doesn't mean you can lower your quality!
I'll go to Apple Store in Chicago to do the exchange or return, because I thouht it was really enough. I'll come back here to tell u the result.

Hi ...
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that to allow downloads.

Cannot download apps from apps store - security questions

I updated my ipad to IOS6 on sunday and since then, I cannot download anything form apps store.
I lets me update software already installed but does not install new apps.
Every time I try, it asks me to fill in three security questions with their answers, which I do, but I receive the message session ended and to try again later, and doesn't download anything. I don't know how many times I've tried but without success.
Please help me solve this inconveniance.
Mónica

Update: in trying to get past the security questions again during another attempt to download a new app a message appeared that the "back up" e-mail address was in use already. Strange, since I hadn't gotten anywhere so far, but sure. Entered a completely different e-mail address and voilá: the app downloaded.
Accessed my Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/178/wo/7ZmOPsE0KGRtkD DSmlYfhw/4.0.83.145.1.0.8) and found out the following:
- there is the primary e-mail address, also being your Apple ID
- there is another e-mail address, in my case the one provided as an alternate e-mail address during answering the
security questions while trying to download an app, which apparently and without any explanation is turned into an
alternate Apple ID.
- Because of this you need to supply yet another e-mail address (while answering the security questions in the app store
when trying to download an app) as a recovery e-mail address in case you forget your answers to the security
questions, since you apparently cannot use the ones that are used as your primary and the out of the blue created
secondary one
- subsequently accessing your Apple ID through the webpage you'll find all this back, including the questions and
answers and an e-mail is sent to the provided recovery e-mail address for verification.
Shoot me, but all this got me out of trouble (for now) to the detriment of my beauty sleep.
Hope it works for all of you with this problem as well!
