HT201272 Will not download purchased book from iBooks???

will not download purchased book from iBooks???

I Just figured this out. I had downloaded a bunch of books on my iPhone and had the greyed-out issue on my iPad with sync collections enabled. Had tried all the same fixes as indicated in this thread and others without success. What worked was restarting my iPad (this may not be a necessary stage) and searching for the titles that were stuck In the iBooks store. As expected each showed an 'in progress' download button. I was finally able to tap this to stop the (non-existent) download, which hadn't been possible within 'My Books' or the 'Purchased' tab on the store. When I tapped the button briefly jumped to 'Read' then changed to the standard iCloud download button for a previous purchase. Tapping this successfully initiated the download, which then synced into the right collection in my library.
Hope it works for you!

  • Ibooks will not download purchased books from cloud on iPad

    I have an iPad 1 and I have recently downloaded version 5.01 onto it but in the process all my music and books were gone. I was able to retrieve all of my music but whenever I try to redownload the books I have already purchased in the ibooks store it begins downloading then stops right when it is almost over. I have tried going to cloud also but this does the same thing. Please help!

  • I just downloaded a book from ibooks and it says that it is unable to open the book

    i just downloaded a book "made for ibooks" after downloading the ibooks app.  However when I click on it it say it is "unable to open".  I thought it was a download issue, and went to download it again, but don't have that option, as it says it is "downloaded".

    Hello, jbc1952. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would recommend deleting the problematic book and downloading it again by accessing your previous purchases.  Here are a couple articles that will help you with this process.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the book you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a book:
    Tap the iBooks app.
    View your Purchased Books collection.
    Tap Edit.
    Tap any books you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    You'll have the option to delete your book on all your devices.
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac Apphttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Books
    Follow these steps to download purchased books:
    Tap iBooks and tap Store.
    Scroll down and tap Purchased.
    Tap the book that you want to download.
    Download past purchases

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

  • VCast Media Manager Will Not  Download Purchased MP3 Album to PC

    VCast Media Manager Will Not  Download Purchased MP3 Album to my PC, but has deducted the purchase from my account.  Clicking Download Manager tab gives the message "Please sign into the store", even though I am logged in.  
    In the past when this problem occurs Loging out and Login In  to the store has worked and started the download , but not this time.   There is no tab on the Shopping Cart to Log out of Store.  I have tried exiting and restarting VCast Media Manager and also rebooting the system.  I am running VCast Version 1.5.0 Build 1652 which is reported as the latest.  System is meets all requirements Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 4 GB RAM, Sound Card and Video Card.
    If I need to re-install VCast Media Manager how can the data be saved that determines I am owed a download?
    Thanks.

    I would call customer service and see if they can see an issue on their end...and at least make a note that you never received the download.

  • Trying to download a book from iBooks.

    I'm trying to download a book from iBooks (latest version) on my 3Gs (latest software). The book is Matthew Reilly's "Seven Deadly Wonders".
    When tapping on it to go to the download page in iBooks it takes quite awhile and then takes to a screen that says, "Seven Deadly Wonders is available for download in iBooks."
    But no Buy button. Just buttons, "Learn more about iOS 4" and "Learn more about iBooks"
    Anybody else see this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • My iPad 2 will not download/sync books, music, movies, and apps. HELP ME!

    My BRAND NEW iPad 2 that I opened yesterday will not download 4 books and a Rosetta Stone Application. I have been waiting for two hours now, and have done everything I can think of. I disconnected it from the internet, I shut it down and restarted it, I tried downloading a small, free app to see if it would jump start the download process, but nothing has worked yet. I am extremely frustrated that this $850 tablet will not do something as basic as download an eBook on it's second day of use. Does anybody have any ideas???

    Brand new?  Heck, I'd call Apple.
    However, if you prefer, we can walk you through some standard procedures.  Start with a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
    Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

  • Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
    Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
    1. Drop raw files on bat file.
    2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
    Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
    Documentation:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
    Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
    “/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
    If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

  • HT1222 when i do the update of ios 5.1 will it delete my books from ibook from my ipod

    If the device is synced with a computer and all content on the device also exists in the iTunes library on the computer as the device is designed to be used, nothing will be lost.

  • PSE 8.0 WILL NOT DOWNLOAD CR FILES FROM CANON 1DMKIV

    I have intslled and reinstalled PSE8.0 and the software STILL will not download the RAW files from the Canon 1DMKIV.
    Downloads all other CR files from all my other Canon bodies fine.
    I keep getting "Corruption or File already exists" errors yet if you check Adobe CS4 RAW files are downloaded fine.
    Any hints?
    This is 2nd copy of PSE installation cds. Tech Support cannot find trouble.

    Thank You "99jon".
    That did it ...FINALLY. ATTENTION TO USERS: DO NOT "DOWNLOAD PSE8 FROM ADOBE STORE"!!!! THIS FILE IS MISSING AND PLACED IN WRONG DUAL PSE FOLDER> FOLLOW WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR PSE8. TIER 3 ADOBE SW ENGIN COULD NOT FIX!
    After checking the PSE8 Program Files I discovered that the zip file was indeed previously downloaded but for some screwed up reason Adobe has place 2 files for PSE8.
    After reading the "download text file" I found that the "exe" file was placed in the wrong file according to Adobe Download instructions.
    After placing it in the file it should be AOK!!!! TESTED OK!! Plug-IN version still shows version 5.51 but it does dwnld 1DMKIV CR2 files now.
    Submit your Pay Voucher to Adobe because they could not figure it out up to Tier 3 Software Support Engineering!!
    Many Thanks!

  • Why can I download samples, but am unable to purchase books from ibooks on my ipad?

    I recently encountered problems downloading and shopping for books at ibooks.  I am able to download samples of books, but when I attempt to purchase them, I am unable to.  I've rechecked my apple account information, and the credit card I'm using is up to date and listed.  More recently, when I visit the ibooks store, no book titles are visible.  Any suggestions?

    Hey Aggiesmommy 91,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues downloading purchased iBooks. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this so you can enjoy those purchases.
    First, try forcing the iBooks application to close:
