Free iBook won't load or delete

Problem on iPad 2, iOS 8
Months ago there was a free textbook by E. O Wilson—Life on Earth volume 1. I tried to download it on my iPad and it would never load. It just sits there greyed out in the grid view and in the list view it has a stop button that doesn't work. Since iOS 8 I keep getting a pop-up message "Unable to download item" with the coices to retry or click "done." I always choose done, but the message keeps popping up. I went into iBooks settings and turned off syncing bookmarks, syncing collections, and accessing online content, but it still comes up.
I would just like to delete the book, but I am unable to select it and choose delete.
I went to the iBooks store and was only able to hide it there, but it still shows up as trying to download in my app. Any ideas are appreciated. Can I delete the iBooks app? I tried to delete the book on iBooks on my iMac, but no luck.
It's the book on the far right, not the one that is paused for updating.

TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

Hello All,
iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
Anybody seen this one before?
I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.

IBooks won't load in Yosemite

Recently, iBooks won't load. Can it be updated or reinstalled without reinstalling Yosemite?

I am having the same problem:

IBook won't load Finder

After attempting to download the latest security update, our 2002 iBook will not load Finder or any desktop icons including hard drive so I am unable to open anything except Safari and System Preferences.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is this the security update you tried to install?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate20070071039.html
Your profile says you are running 10.2. The two are not compatible. You have to have Mac OS X 10.3.9. No earlier or later system will work with that one. Another version of the update is available for 10.4.10 users:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate200700710410ppc.html
If you are running anything else I'm surprised it even let you run the update at all. It should have just checked the system and made sure you are running the required system.
Which system were you running, and which update did you apply? Did you backup your data and repair permissions before applying the update?

Ipad1 ibook2 free book won't load over wifi

Tried to download the free new iBook textbook to my ipad1 over wifi. I got MSG I needed the ibook2 update, so I got the update. Then tried to get the book again and it is stuck in pause but almost all downloaded. I haven't yet tried connecting my iPad to my iMac. What's up?

Right then, I managed to trouble shoot this to a successful conclusion. I have a Vigor ADSL modem with built-in firewall and one of the settings - namely the "Drop non-http connection on TCP port 80" – located under the FW General Settings, is the cause of my problems.
If I disable this option the maps load correctly. So for those of you with similar hardware and configuration, consider disabling this option.

IBook won't load Firewire drive; "unknown device"

That's the summation via System Profiler. It's a SmartDisk Firelite enclosure but I swapped the old 40 GB drive that failed for a new Seagate Momentus 80 GB drive. My G4 dualie recognizes the new SmartDisk setup fine. It loads immediately and I was able to access via all the utilities. Transfers work well.
But on the 1.33 iBook the green light appears on the SmartDisk enclosure, but no threat of loading. Only System Profiler identifies something, "unknown device" with 400 capability. When I remove the firewire cable, System Profiler doesn't see anything.
I had no trouble with the SmartDisk prior to the old drive failing. It worked perfectly on the iBook. My firewire port appears to be okay, since I tried Target Disk Mode with the two computers and it worked well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I Googled and found many issues of "unknown device" related to firewire drives, but none that seemed to precisely fit this case, a drive that was recognized on one computer but not another. Both are running 10.4.11.

I'm still baffled but tonight I found an acceptable alternative, a Macally 250 Firewire/USB enclosure that I had in my closet but never used previously. The Seagate drive loads on both the dualie and iBook using that enclosure, which is bulkier than the SmartDisk but right now I don't really care.

14'' 1.33 ghz ibook won't load my external drives

So i traded my old g4 mini today for a 14'' ibook 1.33 768 ram, and i have tried 4 different external drives of mine and it will not reconize them. They are formated for a mac and all work on my other new mac mini. Ive tried repairing the hd on the ibook and permissions. So all my drives work perfect but the usb ports dont seem to, i even tried a wireless mouse in one of them and it didn't work ether?
I'm lost.
I'm running tiger.

You may have a point there with the format of my drives, if i recall i did format them on my intel mac, so that could be a cuase too.
And i'll give those browsers a try, i just use firefox now, since safari is alot slower running then fox on my ibook and even on my intel mac. Maybe i'll try the beta version.
Also for some reason on my ibook that i just put leopard on, when i go to partion my drives it doesn't seem to have that feature on the ibook, but i can on my mini with leopard. Weird?
And on my mini in disk utility it doesnt have the burn option and mounting option at the top of the page, i have to right click on the img to burn it, but yet on the ibook i have those opitions at the top of the disk utility window.
Also strange?

I have a iBook G4 i can git to the login screen but enter password and it gose to a blue sceen then right back to the login sceen and won't load

My iBook won't load the desktop after puttong in my password it keeps going back to the login screen anyone have any ideas on how to fix this

Clamshell iBook Won't Boot from Jaguar CD (v10.2.3)

Branching off from a prior thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/13222609#13222609) in which booting from an OS X CD was a potential solution to a problem, the problem encountered with the potential solution warrants its own thread.
My machine is a Clamshell iBook (G3), Revision B (with 64MB base RAM and no FireWire). It was purchased new eleven years ago and later ugpraded to 192MB RAM.
The OS on the hard drive was 9.0.2 until yesterday, when I updated it to 9.1 so I could bring the firmware up to date. I did this before attempting to use the Jaguar CD.
The CD in question is an original Jaguar install CD, version 10.2.3. This is a two-disc set (the discs are labeled 1 and 2) and is a retail version; my iBook was manufactured prior to the release of OS X (non-server) and does not have an OEM OS X disc.
When the iBook attempts to boot from the CD, either by pressing "C" at startup or by running the Installer from OS 9.1, it seems to be loading fine until the following appears:
At this point, the iBook won't load any further and a restart is required.
The iBook does boot an OS X Cheetah (10.0) CD as well as its own restore disc (9.0.2) and the 9.1 disc that came with Cheetah. Unfortunately, Cheetah doesn't seem to have any effect on the battery (this is why I'm booting with an OS X CD; see the posts in the other thread for details). I don't have any other retail CD versions of OS X to try (aside from a Snow Leopard DVD).
Aside from this boot problem and the battery issue (the computer won't recognize the battery and displays an "X" through it even after having charged it with an external charger) the iBook is working perfectly fine.

No. I get the "X" through the battery in the menu bar and no bars, just a plug icon, in the control strip under OS 9.
The battery is a year old and has never been recognized by this computer. I don't have another Clamshell to test it in but did verify that it can charge in a VST charger.
The last time the computer recognized a battery was about 6 years ago when the initial batteries were still in use. Both were completely depleted after my charger shorted out; they didn't charge again after I got a new charger. The batteries were healthy at the time and were able to hold 3-4 hours, which was pretty typical mileage for me on this laptop.

Tiger won't load in Target disc mode either!

Have had the problem of many in that my G3 iBook won't load the DVD-even though it has a combo drive. Anyway, tried target disc mode on my Tiger installed iMac and still unsuccessful. I think it's the disc itself. The installation goes through the "checking DVD" protocol and then I get an error code. Any clue? I've got a reservation at the genius bar this afternoon at 3pm but would love to solve this one on my own if possible...

It is possible that the combo drive is damaged or the BootX file already on the hard drive is having trouble. Have you backed up your data?

IBook won't download and can't delete

I recently downloaded iBooks. Today I downloaded an iBook and it won't download properly, always freezes. I want to delete it but seems you can't because it hasn't downloaded. I deleted the iBooks app but on reinstallation it keeps trying to download the ibook. Help please!

Same thing happened to me! Flippin' annoying! I can't get them to download, iTunes won't let me delete them. But everytime I connect my iPad or iPhone, it pops up and wants to download them. Then it sits for hours trying to download and nothing happens, except locking up my computer and rendering it completely useless. I just want to delete the two books out of iTunes permanently but I can't find out how to do it. I would like some help too!

ITunes, app store, iBooks store, etc won't load and I can't figure out why. I tried rebooting and it didn't help. Everything else works fine. Help please?

iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?

Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : 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.
You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps '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 iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.
