HT4059 iBooks - some books never load - just hang

I added iBooks to my sons iPad (1)
I went to my purchased books and attempted to download (from iCloud) the childrens books I had purchased and loaded on my iPad (mini)
The books NEVER download! - They just hang and even if I delete the app and all contents and start again it does the same thing every time!
I even plugged the iPad into my Macbook to sync by wire. - Same problem. Tried this for hours - no luck.
I tried to upload a grown up book and it worked... Both devices use the same apple ID
Very frustrating - any ideas?

Hi vmarlin!
I have an article here that I believe will go a long way toward explaining what is going on with your iBooks app:
iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
Specifically, I believe this will address your questions:
To free up storage on your device while keeping your library organization, tap Delete This Copy. The copy of the book on that iOS device will be removed, but the cover of the book will remain in your iBooks library with a cloud icon visible in the upper corner. To download the book again, just tap the book cover.
To remove a purchased book from your library on all of your devices, tap Delete From All Devices. The book will be removed from all of your iOS devices, and its cover will only appear in the Purchased Books collection with a cloud icon visible in the upper corner. If you change your mind, you can download the book again from your Purchased Books collection.
So if your books are not downloaded onto the device, they will still show up in your iBooks app with the "download from iCloud" icon in the upper right hand corner, but they will only appear in the Purchased Books section. You will want to download the books you want onto your device, then arrange them into the Collections you would like them to reside in. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

  • Firefox 3.6.13 would not load under xp on acer computer. deleted in and downloaded version 4, but still does not load, just hangs system. what is wrong?

    a couple weeks ago, firefox stopped loading (just hung system) on my acer computer running windows xp. I deleted firefox and downloaded versin 4.0.1. But, the same thing is happening. it starts to load but then stops responding and hangs the system. what is wrong?

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

  • Safari stops loading: just hanging

    Safari starts loading and then just hangs half-way. I have tried resetting the cache, updating etc. but nothing seems to stop this from happening. Used Chrome and it seemed to works fine: pages load fast, no hanging.
    What is happening to Safari?

    I have same problem!

  • Sync completes with all data transferred, but never completes - just hangs

    When I connect my iPhone by USB, iTunes fires up and my Sync seems to kick off without a hitch. Sync in Progress appears on the screen for as many as 4 hours. If I disconnect after 15-20 minutes of syncing, new programs, appointments, and contacts all appear on the iPhone... but it just won't finish the Sync on its own without me canceling it with a swipe of the iPhone screen.
    Any ideas?

    I haven't had that happen but from other posts I have read, when there is a hang up of any sort with an Apple product, you usually should reset. Don't know if you have done. There are various ways to reset. I would first try holding down both buttons and wait for it to allow you to power down the Iphone.

  • Some websites never load

    I hae tried uninstall/reinstall of firefox but I am having the same problem with ie8. I have run full system scan and gotten rid of malware and tracking cookies. I have checked addons and they appear to be enabled. I have cleared cache, cookies and history and even turned off my firewall.

    This is a customer-to-customer forum. Your best bet is calling Verizon directly and speak with technical support.

  • I cant' play the game mahjongg dimensions anymore, it will never load i have to go to internet explorer to play

    the sit never loads just there and gone and there and gone

    I agree with Park.  If you are not familiar with how to re-download past purchases, see this guide:
    Download past purchases
    Note that you need to delete the bad copy from your library before re-downloading a fresh copy.

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

    After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version of the book in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

    I just got the iBooks update and that fixed the problem, except the book covers look like they were done in a government printing office.

  • I have some books in Ibook which have not downloaded and I am unable to delete them.  I have tried everything I can find on the net but nothing works.

    Some books I purchased and downloaded free in my library in Itunes on my PC dont download properly when synced with my ipad, they only half-download.  I then tried deleting them from ibook on my ipad but they just wont delete no matter method I try.  I have found going to my pc and dragging them out of the library onto the desktop they show up as a pdf so I put them into bluefire reader on my ipad using the ap section on my pc.  Dont know what is happening here.  Since I downloaded the new version of itunes seem to be having lots of problems.  I have sifted through everything I can find on the net and tried some things but nothing seems to work.

    Beads63, have you rebooted the router, this is the most common fix.  If you have and it has not worked have you any new electric items that could interfere or changed your set up at all?

  • FireFox hangs up for a long time on most pages and sometimes never loads them. This is new phenomenon. What can I do to resolve this issue?

    I attempt to open up a site. Firefox hangs for a 20-30 seconds on most sites and sometimes never opens the page, despite leaving it open for a long, long time. I find that if I go up to the address bar and hit "enter" on the page I'm trying to go to that most of the time I can then load the page after a couple of tries. This is obviously annoying and never used to happen. I'm looking for a fix. Thanks!

    I had done that already. I brought it down to 30, which was recommended in another thread.
    For most sites, Firefox works fine. But some of the primary sites I use for work hang up for long periods of time and frequently never load. I've tested the same sites with other browsers and they load quickly, so it is a Firefox issue.
    Please help me keep Firefox! Thanks!!

    when I use voice over to read an epub in my Ibooks app, which is in Dutch, sometimes he start reading a book with an English Female voice and some books he reads with the Dutch male voice (which is good). All my epubs are Dutch books so the English voice sound terrible trying to pronounce Dutch. Can i fix this problem? Thanks, Tom

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Sync with Windows Address Book just hangs

    I have iPod Touch 4g, iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1.22, Windows XP (up to date). I sync'd my Windows Address Book to the Touch without issue, I made some updates on the Touch, and now when I try to sync, it just hangs at trying to sync the contacts. No errors, it just indicates that it is syncing. iTunes doesn't actually hang, I can cancel the sync, and I can still sync songs, and it still backs up fine as first sync step.

    As far as I am aware, "identities" is an Outlook Express concept that was dropped by Microsoft some time ago in favour of separate User Accounts along with Windows Address Book being replaced by Windows Contacts. I am also not 100% sure that iTunes will sync with Windows Address book. Do you see it on the drop down menu in the Sync Contacts tab?
    If you do and if iTunes will sync with Windows Address Book you should only see the contacts associated with the identity you are using and shared contacts. If iTunes then syncs, it should sync with the identity you are using at the time of the sync.

  • Unable to use free version regardless of browser on any machine. I login with adobe id but then the loading screen just hangs.

    Unable to use free version regardless of browser on any machine. I login with adobe id but then the loading screen just hangs. can't get any further - Tried all suggestions like clearing browser caches but no change.
    Got a couple of projects i wanted to try this on and if the software works I will probably take a subscription but considering this isn't working at all will look elsewhere.
    Also - adobe live chat support is useless.

    Hi,
    please share the Adobe ID that you are using with DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com and we will investigate the issue.

  • How can i delete some books from ibook?

    How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

    I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.  This seems to be what worked for me.  I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen.  I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time)  Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel".  I chose "delete" and the book was gone.  Hope this helps.
