How do I get ipad ios8 to stop pdf download default being itunes U?

since upgrading to ios8 when I want to download a pdf, from safari, the default app it tries to download to is itunesU instead of iBooks.  it does come up with other options, including iBooks, but you have to find iBooks from the list.  on ios7 it would default to iBooks.  
can the default pdf download app be changed?. Other people I know don't have this issue so there must be something in my settings which creates this issue.
i am not sure why it wants ro default to itunesU as I never use this app.
Any help would be hugely appreciated as I download a lot of pdfs from safari web pages  and this is getting frustrating.

I have this problem too.  I'm thinking maybe the last downloaded app becomes the default, so perhaps deleting iBooks and redownloading it will make it default?  I haven't treid yet though, I don't want to have to download all my PDFs again (from different websites).

  • How can I get my email access back after downloading the new iTunes on my iPhone?

    Yesterday I downloaded the latest iTunes 11.01.12 on my PC (Windows 7), then sync'ed to my iPhone G4.  Now when I try to access one of my email accts, I get the message: "The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding..."  I have checked the acct info in Mail settings and all seems in order (IMAP Path Prefix is blank, Server Port is 993).  Strangely, my other email acct (also gmail) is working.  I have tried restarting, re-

    What is a "G4" iPhone?  No such thing exists.
    Regardless, installing iTunes on the computer has no affect on being able to access an email account on an iPhone.

  • How do I get my iOS8 Health data back after a full iTunes backup and restore?

    I was having battery issues with iOS 8.0.2 and was asked by Apple to back my phone up, restore it and then use it as a new phone in order to test the battery performance. I did this but upon restoring my phone from its backup today none of my Health data has returned. Is this now completely lost? Does Apple not back this data up along with everything else? Is there a way of getting it back as I've lost weeks of manuall-inputted data? Help!

    According to Apple
    Use Health on your iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 8
    health data isn't backed up unless you encrypt your backup. Very stupid if you ask me for Apple to decide that this data is somehow more sacrosanct than any other data I have on my iPhone. If I backup my phone, I expect it ALL to be backed up. If I was worried about the security of my health data, I would choose encryption, but that should be MY decision. For Apple to decide its better for me to lose all my important health data just because I don't want to encrypt it is insane.

  • How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?

    When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?

    I really wish the Apple team would fix this.  It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
    Anyway, my workaround is this.  I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops. 
    Hey ipad/garageband team -  How about a new release of gargageband?

    Do you have iTunes Match? 
    If so, when does your subscription expire?  There have recently been a fair number of problems with the early adopters of iTunes Match having problems as iTM attempts to auto-renew the subscription.  Fixing this requires actual involvement of an Apple Tech Support person.
    What you're describing was exactly the behavior I experienced when Apple mistakenly cut off my iTM account last weekend.

  • How do I get my apps to stop saying waiting

    How do I get my apps to stop saying waiting

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    How can I get my iphone to stop losing the signal?

    Thanks for the tip.  If only I could find somewhere where I did not lose the signal.
    I am based in the United Kingdom. The carrier is Orange.
    I lose the signal inside buildings and outside of buildings.  It happens at work and at home.  It happens in Centarl London in the open air and inside.  It happens in small towns.. It happens in the countryside.  It happens in motor cars.  It happens in airports.  It happens when the battery is fully charged, when it is half charged and when it's low on charge.  It happens using the phone, when reading messages and when using the internet.
    Hope this helps.

    iPad games only work on iOS devices - you can't copy them onto tablets running other operating systems. You will need to buy separate Android versions.

  • How do I get the Converting to Adobe PDF process to stop hanging?

    I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a machine running Windows 7 Professional 64bit.  I have tried creating PDFs from MS Office files (using the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar).  I have also tried printing to Adobe PDF, from within MS office but also elsewhere (e.g. IE, Notepad).  No matter the creation method, I am prompted for a file name and location and then the Acrobat PDFMaker window appears with a taskbar and message "Coverting to Adobe PDF..."  The process hangs there and a print job appears in the Adobe PDF printer with a status of "Error - Printing."  How do I get the process to stop hanging and successfully create PDFs?

    FWIW, a former colleague was also frustrated with this "Error - Printing" hang-up problem, when printing from any app to Adobe PDF, with Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on a Win7x64 system. I recall forum threads on that issue, with no clear resolution?. What did work on every print job, though, was the two-step method: (a) Print to File with Adobe PDF, then (b) fire up Acrobat Distiller 9 to convert the intermediate .prn Postscript file. (It would seem that Acrotray wasn't functioning properly in a x64 environment?...though it did run as one of the pc startup processes)
    As that two-step method was acceptable for his workflow, he never explored the possibility of getting a fluent one-step PDF creation by upgrading to the highest available v9x version, or beyond.

  • My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?

    My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?

    It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
    I will tell you how I fixed it.
    Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
    The workaround is:
    1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
    2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
    3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
    4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
    5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
    6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
    7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
    8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.
