Cannot open books to read description before purchase

I can not get books listed to open to read description but can move book list around and open already purchased books. Other apps open also

That is correct.
ibooks are for ipod/ipad/iphone, NOT your computer.

Cannot open books in iBooks ipad2 new purchases and ones I am reading

Cannot open downloaded books in iBook library I could before

If you haven't already done so then try closing the iBooks app via the iPad's multitasking bar and then do a soft-reset and see if you can then open the books. To close iBooks : Bouble-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iBooks app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If you still can't open them then copy your ibooks over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that will copy epubs and/or PDFs in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks ; you might also be able to redownload ibooks via the Purchased tab in the iBookstore in the app), delete the app from your iPad, and then redownload the app and sync your books back - deleting the app will lose any notes/highlights that you have in your books

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Cannot open books in Kobo

Hi,
I downloaded Adobe Digital Edition, signed up, downloaded books. Then I add Kobo and add book in the Kobo library in Adobe Digital Editions program. I syncronized my Kobo with my computer. But still I cannot open books in Kobo. I get the same problem message, "... and is not currently authorized for use with your Adobe ID. Please sign-in with the authorized Adobe ID and try again."
What should I do?

i have the exact same problem and adobe customer support offered zero help. i'm going to call them tomorrow and make them figure this all out. i was online with them this evening and had the rep delete my adobe id, in case ade was being snarky about my new device, even though it's the exact same ereader, just a new one. not even upgraded. the number i have is 1 800 833 6687. i read in another thread that having them delete the account and starting a new one does work, but it takes 5-7 days for the account to delete. it's as though adobe doesn't even care about its users or their problems with the software. the rep i spoke to this evening- and this is the third time i've contacted adobe about this exact same unresolved problem- referred me to the forums- the site of unanswered questions. my hope is that enough people will call in with this exact same problem and force adobe to resolve it. my kobo touch is pretty much useless until my adobe id resets. i only used it for library books

Cannot open the adobe reader app

Cannot open the adobe reader app. Need help.

Restart the iPad and see if the app will open. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, reboot the iPaf and try again. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails, Delete the app and reinstall it. Hold down on the app icon until it wiggles, then tap the X on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button to stop the other app icons from wiggling. Then go back to the app store and download the app again.

TS1702 help!!!! I cannot open books in ibooks, says "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" how do i reopen purchased books?

I cannot open open purchased books fro ibooks, a window pops up saying "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" not sure what has happened, extremely frustrating.....does it have something to o with icloud?

Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions.

Hello,
Actually, I think this should be asked in the

Cannot open Book Project in iPhoto

I'm working on a Mac OSX 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17). Last January of this year I started a Book and have worked on it at winter and spring--it is about 90 pages long with text and photos. Yesterday I went to open the project and all I got was a spinning wheel -- it will not open up. I went in to Utilities and repaired the permissions and I repaired the photo library by clicking Alt and Command--still cannot open the project. Would anyone have a solution?

Hi Old Toad: Thanks for the prompt reply. I could NOT locate the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist.
I downloaded Find any File and got this:

HT1430 Cannot open books in iBooks

I am unable to open books in iBooks on my iPad.

Yes, I did this and it worked fine after that. I also noted that ibooks is available for download as an Iphone ap or an Ipad ap. I believe it is the same ap, but that could also be the problem.
thanks for the good tip! worked fine for me!

I cannot open PDF to read apple iphone 4 support manual from firefox yet it works fine on IE 9 and I have the latest version of adobe reader installed

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

Thanks again but no PDF listed on any of the adobe apps. I noticed if I to Adobe acrobat document on that list and move over to open it, it gives you the option of Adobe Reader as default. If I choose that, I can open PDF documents. I have also noticed via web search that more than 80 people have reported the same problem with 4.0, but no solution yet so I suppose I will leave the default at Adobe Acrobat Document Use Adobe Reader in Firefox. Not sure if that will affect anything else but it seems to open the PDF.

Nook app show books but cannot open books

I downloaded the Nook app for my new iPad. No problems for 3 weeks. However, today, I can open the app and it shows the library with appropriate books, but books cannot be opened. I can click on book - and the app closes. Any suggestions?

Try closing the Nook app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Nook app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Nook app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot open pdf in reader on Samsung tablet

I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader on Galaxy Tab but when I try to open a document I get the following:
"If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document."
I have been able to open other pdf's before.
Any suggestions?

This PDF is a PDF that is a "Dynamic XFA" document inside a PDF wrapper, which is generated by Adobe's LiveCycle server. Adobe Reader for Android supports all basic/standard PDF, but does not support displaying this kind of XFA PDF.
