How do I stop a book from downloading in iBooks   It has been downloading for 2 days

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • How can I delay my MBP from hibernating until the lid has been closed for a set period of time?

    After extensive research, I have been unable to solve this problem and I'm hoping someone can explain this to me.   Everytime I close the lid on my 13-inch, Early 2011 Macbook Pro, it immediately starts to write to disk (solid light on the front) for several seconds until it finally goes into Hibernate mode (flashing light on the front).  The problem is, I frequently close the lid, then immediately reopen it within 15-30 seconds to resume typing or to add something I may have forgotten.   Each time I reopen the lid before the light has started flashing, the MBP wakes for a moment, and allows me to resume typing.  However, the Hibernation process has already begun and within 30 seconds, the screen goes blank.   I have to wake it AGAIN, which is very annoying.
    Based on my research, I could use pmset to change the hibernatemode to 0 (it is currently set at 3).   However, I dont wish to disable hibernate mode completely; I DO want it to save a hibernation image to disk if it happens to run out of battery, so that when I resume I havent lost anything.   
    I then researched using standby and standbydelay to attempt a delay of the write to disk when going into standby mode.   According to the pmset manual:
    standby causes kernel power management to automatically hibernate a machine after it has slept for a
         specified time period. This saves power while asleep
    standbydelay specifies the delay, in seconds, before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering
         off memory for Standby
    I then set these values as below, expecting the laptop to wait 4200 seconds (70 minutes) before trying to write to disk when I close the lid:
    standbydelay         4200
    standby              1
    Unfortunately, that did not work either.   If I close the lid, the light glows solid immediately (indicating it is writing to disk), and if I try to reopen the lid before it is done, it will wake and seem fine, then 30 seconds later it goes blank right in the middle of me typing something.   I usually have to click the mouse several times, or even the power button to re-wake it.  
    I do have InsomniaX installed, for when I want to close the lid and keep the machine awake permanently (while watching videos on airplay) and I have tried quitting that application to test this.  However, when I close/reopen the lid..the result is the same.   I cant keep InsomniaX enabled all the time, because it will never go to sleep when I truly want it to.   If I am not using InsomniaX, I just want to delay hibernation until he lid has been closed for a set period (say 15 minutes or more).  If I have not reopened the lid within that time, I want it to write to disk and go into hibernation mode.  And if the battery runs all the way out, I want it to go into hibernation mode before shutting down so I can recover.
    I would appreciate any help in solving this problem.  Also any insight as to why the standbydelay setting above did not work.   Thanks!

    Whats with the MBP lid? Dont close it ... if you're so concerned! Just go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and set it to how you like it.

  • How do you stop an email from continually being recovered that has completely stopped any new mail from being received?

    In trying to send an oversized video via email (exceeded 25 MG) size limit, I got an error message. I thought I deleted the email. However, whenever email is open, the message continually gets recovered, blocking any email from being recieved. I am able to create and send emails. Internet checks out ok. Using AOL.iMap. It seems that I am not able to interrupt the continual attempts to send the original email.

    To those who have viewed my question, thank you. I found the solution under "Mail sending and recovering emai!" I went to Email Preferences, Advanced, and selected "Dont't keep copies of any messages" on the pull down of Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:, saved changes and problem solved. Thanks,

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

  • How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

    How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

    It should be my choice, not apples.
    And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
    Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
    Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

  • HT5824 How can you permanently delete books from Ibooks

    How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

    You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
    Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
    Hope this helps.

  • HOW DO YOU REMOVE A BOOK FROM YOUR IPOD?

    HOW DO YOU REMOVE A BOOK FROM YOUR IPOD?

    Do you mean an audiobook?  It will depending on how you have your iPod and iTunes setup.  In the Sidebar, you should be able to expand the items under your iPod so you can see Books.  Then rt click on the audiobook in your iPod's audiobooks and click delete.  If the Sidebar is not open, then on Windows, the Crtl + S key will open it.
    If you're 'Syncing' you iPod to iTunes, there will be other steps to remove the audiobook.  You'd probably need to uncheck the audiobook in iTunes, then re-sync.

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • How do you stop 1.4 from importing??

    I recently installed LR2.3 on a machine with LR1.4.  I thought it would install over but it appears to have installed a completely seperate copy.
    The problem:  when I put a card in my reader, the Windows dialog box pops up for 'what do you want to do with this?'.
    If I select the LR2.3 icon, it pulls up LR1.4 instead!!  The icon definitely says 2.3.
    How do I stop 1.4 from importing and letting 2.3 do it?
    Right now I have to:
    Insert card
    Wait for 1.4 to come up
    shut down 1.4
    Bring up 2.3
    Import
    thoughts?

    I haven't had LR 1.4 installed over a year so I don't quite remember how it worked, but if it uses ADPProxy then you might find relief with the steps shown in this post:
