Downloaded iBook won't open

Downloaded James Bradley's "The Imperial Cruise," highly recommended btw. Download to iTunes then iBook on my iPad, BUT the cover opens, screen flickers and goes back to home screen! Where's my book?

Try deleting the book and then re-download it and see if it then opens (you can re-download ibooks for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
If that doesn't work then have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and then re-opening it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks '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 iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is 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.

E. o. Wilson iBook won't open after download.

E. o. Wilson iBook won't open after download. It appears to have completely downloaded, but it won't open.

Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
Quit iBooks and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. 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 logo appears and let go of the button.
If neither of these things help, delete the book and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with, you will not have to pay for it again.

IBook shows as downloaded but won't open

I downloaded a book from iBooks it shows as downloaded but won't open?

Hello Coastalcharm
Start with the troubleshooting in the article below and simply restart your iPhone or iPad. If that does not work, then try deleting the book and download the book again. You may end up having to delete iBooks and install it again.

Downloaded files won't open, and mouse sometimes disappears

Hey there,
I've just been having some rather minor problems with my iBook, and I thought maybe someone could help me out.
First of all, my iBook won't open a lot of applications that I download. It says that it can't find the application to open the programs with. I looked on a few of these forum threads, and it said to download the Stuffit program. I dowloaded the latest version, but when I went to open it, my computer gave me the same answer as it did for all those other apps- that it couldn't find the application to open it up with. I went back and downloaded the previous version of Stuffit, but that had the same result. How can I get files to open on my computer?
Also, sometimes while I'm in Safari, the mouse arrow completely disappears until I either scroll over a picture or click the back/forward arrows. Anyone have any ideas on why this happens? It doesn't really do anything bad, it's just annoying.
Well, thanks for reading this, and have a good day!

Ok, maybe this will lend some insight to the Safari cursor behavior.
I was on the Slashdots' main page. I had not experienced the issue since yesterday.
I proceded to follow this link, opening it in a new tab:
http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/dailyarchives.jhtml?articleId=188701694
When on that page, the cursor would start rapidly switching from a pointer to a hand. I clicked on the tab for Slashdot. Problem gone! I tabbed back to the CRN page in question and reloaded it. Problem is back. To clarify, I did not have to reload the page for the problem to persist, it was just something I tried.
I emptied the cache and reloaded. No change.
I would like to add that this in no way interferes with productivity when working in Safari, it's just really odd is all.
Any ideas?

IBooks won't open my PDF files after I did a sync on computer.

I have an IPod Touch 4th generation. My IBooks won't open any of my PDF files after I did a sync on computer. I have updated all software, reset iPod from a previous backup, re sync with itunes on computer, and I have reset all settings, it still won't work. Any suggestions??

Please close all apps from multitasking.
Download the iPad manual from here http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
That should be a known good file from Apple. See if you can open that in iBooks.
If you can open the manual the other PDF files are unreadable/corrupt.
If you are unable to open the manual the issue is with iBooks. Delete iBooks and reinstall the app. Make sure you have backup of your pdf files first.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Were you able to get Acrobat icon or unable to even run the executable file?
What exactly happens when you try launching Acrobat?
Please let me know.

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

Try:
Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
Good luck!

Ibook won't open after download. instead, a different book opens

I am downloading .ibooks that I created in ibooks author onto my ipad. I am not using itunes, rather I am downloading from my server through the web and opening them in ibooks. however, when I try to add a new book i wrote, it opens a different book and the new book won't show up even though it is downloaded and prompted to "Open in Ibooks". help please.

that may happen when you created the book by duplicating a previous book you built (the preferred method is to save the previous book as a template, and create a new book based on that template). You have to delete the previous ibook from your iPad and then you can download and open the new one.

Ibooks won't open any book

I have several Pdfs... default was to open pdfs in acrobat and when I click within ibooks it opens in acrobat. I changed the default app for PDFs from acrobat to iBooks and now it just hangs... it won't open any books at all.
I don't have this issue on iphone opening pdfs in iBooks
any suggestions

If the book won't open then try deleting it from the bookshelf and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and see if you can open that.

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes downloaded but won't open

Got new iPod yesterday. Downloaded iTunes successfully (already had QTime) but it won't open. Have tried running virus scanner & AdAware, updated browser and checked all browser and audio settings. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and QuickTime SEVEN times, but still can't launch iTunes. All other software functioning normally. iPod unit itself seems to work--but, of course, no music on it yet. Have spent 5.5 hours going through every suggestion on this site, but nothing helps; all settings seem to be correct. Cannot find any contact info for APPLE!!!! Extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions?

I spent about 8 hrs on this yesterday (Thanks Apple). I did get it to work though, here is what I did:
I was able to get Itunes to work
Posted: Dec 26, 2006 6:34 PM Reply Email
I did all the things everyone suggested but no luck.
The way I made it work: I removed Itunes and quicktime as directed in other threads via the control panel. Then I did a search of the root directory for anything with itune in it (itune.), I then deleted those files. I did the same thing for quicktime. After deleting the files I emptied the recycle bin, rebooted and then reinstalled Itunes. I did not install to the default directory (C:\program files\Itunes), I put Itunes on the root (C:\Itunes).I really don't know if it was stupid luck or if it was the correct thing to do but it worked for me? Could be that just putting it on the root C: did the trick?
There were some quick time files that I couldn't delete.
There were also some itune files that I couldn't delete until I went to the directory and deleted the whole directory, the folders had long names with both letters and numbers.
This was for my duaghters new Ipod, I am going to stick with my Zen.

Ibooks won't open my pdf files

When i try to open pdf files from my browser ibooks starts to open them but the file blinks and disappears. I have to close the app and do this process again for about three times for the pdf to open. I have a lot of pdf files in my bookshelf and i am constantly adding new ones as i take classes. It bothers me to have to try so many times to open one when I have tons more to open.
