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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • TS1424 Downloaded a book. Cannot open book. Says book is protected. Huh?

    On my PC, I downloaded a book. It's on my itunes "recently added" page. I cannot open the book. When I click on it, nothing happens. But in the description line, it says the book is protected. Does this have something to do with it? Please help...

    On what device are you trying to read it?
    ibooks are ONLY for ipod touhc/iphone/ipad.
    You cannot read them on your computer.

  • 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:

  • Can't open books in ibook

    Since updating my iPad ios to 7, I can no longer read any books in iBook. I see the title, but when I try to open it, the app. Closes down. What do I do?

    I was having this problem as well. I tried force quitting the app, deleting and re-downloading ibooks and nothing was helping. Finally I just decided to restore my iPad and start fresh with ibooks and that worked and I can now read books again. If you have the books loaded on to iTunes or you don't mind having to re-download them try restoring your iPad and see if that works for you also!

  • Can't open books in iBooks (iPad 2) -

    Hi
    I downloaded a few books to iBooks app, but can't open them to read.
    I have tried
    1. Deleting the app and reload again.
    2. Syn with Mac
    See below image, when i tab the book that is downloaded, it just show the sample content but not the book..
    Any suggestion
    Thanks
    Kim

    You need to tap the Library button at the top left of that screen to go back to the bookshelf in the app, which si where your downloaded (and/or books synced from your computer) should show - the screen that you are on allows you to select which of your past purchases to download into the app, to read it you need to be on the bookshelf in the app. (When you are viewing the bookshelf in the app you will have Store button top left instead of Library, so that you can go back to the store.)

  • Cannot download book from ibooks store on iphone

    I appear to be having a problem downloading any book within ibooks on my iphone 3g running ios4.
    In one case, I have already purchased the book from my ipad and trying to redownload the book on my iphone I continue to get an message
    "Sign in required, tap continue to sign in to continue synching your bookmarks with other devices"
    I enter my credentials but the popup continues to appear over and over again at which point I instead hit cancel.
    The book now appears to have fully downloaded but it stays 'stuck' with the progress bar filled but I do not have the ability to open the book and the progress indicator continues to spin.
    This happens for both 'paid' books and 'free' books.
    I tried to download the book again this time with the 'sync bookmarks' feature disabled within system preferences and the same problem happens. The book downloads with a full progress bar, but it never saves.
    I tried:
    - disabled sync feature
    - rebooting phone
    - deleting and re-installing iBooks
    Thoughts? Thanks!

    Dears, the case is sorted now, and I am sharing the YouTube link which helped me to sort this issue, to help others.

    it was simple due to not setting the date and time automatically in : Settings-General-Date and Time, then set automatically.

  • 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 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.

  • IPhone Safari cannot open PDF in iBook

    I retrieved a PDF file online with iPhone Safari, while tapping on the "open in iBooks" tap at the top right side, I found out that it was not working as before, is it a bug in iOS 5?

    Well, no luck after the updates. PDF problem still persists.
    Beside this, it seems to have other compatible issues with website like ims.netiquette.com.sg too. A bug is preventing me tapping and keying in directly onto web form boxes , after I make item selection from drop-down menu.
    This is truly a disaster...

  • Cannot open book on ereader ALTHOUGH PRESENT IN THE LIBRARY ON THE EBOOK.

    Bought a new ereader and authorised it correctly with ADE. seems to download a book to the ereader library until i try to open it then it says 'no file found'. In 'annotations' on the reader it also comes up with that message. The books are there in the library on the ereader though!

    Gutenberg books will usually be fine, no DRM.  (aside ... Calibre (free) is much better software than ADE for handling non DRM books)
    One more thing to try:
    use file manager to copy a DRM book from the computer to the ereader
    then try to read the file from the ereader memory in ADE
    then unplug and try to read the file on the ereader.
    If the file manager copy doesn't work, maybe there is something odd in the ereader registration?
    Try to deregister (ctrl-shift-D to ADE with ereader plugged in, cmd-shift-E on Mac) and reregister the ereader (menu/Help/Authorize device).
    If that fails too, I'm not sure what to suggest.
    If the file manager copy does work, looks like something wrong in the ADE DRM file copy mechanism.
    In that case, it may be worth trying with the older more reliable ADE1.7.2
    ~~~
    ~~~~~~~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.
