I purchased a book for my iPad through iBooks the cover of the book appears when I click on it a description appears but I am not able to open the book nor can I open the books I have previously purchased and when I hit the download arrow nothing happens

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
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 logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

    I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks 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 iBooks 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 you could 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.
    If neither of the above work then you could also try deleting the app and re-installing it - as long as the books are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • My book showed up in the iBook library but it won't open.

    My book showed up in the iBook library but it won't open.

    Did you buy/download the book from Apple, or did it come from another source ? If it's Apple ibook then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if the book works after you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks 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 iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice.  Also, a second library was created and it became the default library.  I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open.  what can I do to revert to the old library?

    I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice.  Also, a second library was created and it became the default library.  I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open.  what can I do to revert to the old library?

    Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos,  I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos.  When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything.  I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
    Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu?  That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version.  DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
    I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
    Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
    Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

  • I have downloaded a movie which I brought from itunes. It appears in my ipod class movie menu but it won't playic

    I have downloaded a movie which I brought from itunes. It appears in my ipod classic movie menu but it won't play. I try to update and or restore my ipod but I just keep getting a message saying that I need to connect to the internet which I am and am contected to the itunes store. I try to use the itunes self help support thing but keep getting the message that my ipod serial number is incorrect when it is the serial number which is on my ipod. Any ideas?

    Hey mlf141,
    I see that you have rented a movie on your iOS device and now would like to watch it on your computer. I have an article with information for you dealing with this scenario, and it can be found below:
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201611
    If you rented the movie on your computer, but want to watch it on an iOS device, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as often as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • HT1296 I purchased a book on my IPAD, from IBOOKS, I want to sync it to my droid phone so I can read it any time. How do I sync them?

    I purchased a book from IBOOKS, on my IPAD & I want to sync it to my DROID phone, so I can read it any time. How do I sync them?

    There is no convenient way to share I books with non iOS devices.   For the future, download the kindle app or the nook app.  Their libraries can be accessed by any device that has an app.
    In a perfect world, apple would make an I book reader available on the google market, but that has not happened.

  • My podcast show in my library but they won't download and I can't sync them to my Ipod Nano

    I can not dowlnload podcasts, they show in my libary to GET - so I do that , it says it is downloaded them but then they don't go anywhere - how do I get them ot sync to my Ipod Nano?

    Double check to make sure podcasts and configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
    To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it.  Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
    If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.

  • I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC.  I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad?  This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

    I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC?  I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad.  This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad.  Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.

  • I have downloaded Kindle books to my ipad before but now it says it is not supported.  Has something changed?

    Can someone explain to me what has happened.  I was able to download Kindle books to my iPad using Kidle app, now I  can't.  What has changed?

    You could try deleting the app and downloading it again.
    In any case, this forum is only for the iBooks app.  For the Kindle app you need to ask in their own forums.

  • I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?

    Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
    I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?
