I can't download old purchases in my iBooks on my MacBook

A while back I downloaded a sample of a book and after about two weeks it still hasn't downloaded. I can't delete it to try and restart and I can pause and resume download but that doesn't work. I also can't download books I previously purchased. Does anybody have an idea as to what I can do?

  • Lost Itunes Purchased music ... Can you download old purchased songs?

    I just lost my entire music catalog and am trying to download my purchases that I have made with the iTunes music store. Anyone have any idea how to do this or if theres some kind of support number to call. I know you can view your purchase history on iTunes but how do you download them again if youve already paid

    Hello:
    You may not want to "hold your breath", but my music library was restored free of charge by apple in less than 12 hours!
    Just send them an email or contact customer support by phone (they're very helpful).
    Do be sure to back up your files because they tell me they can only do this once.
    Also visit an Apple store if you can, they have "genius bars" in them which feature Apple employees that will provide free technical support and answer your questions!!
    See if you can get that kind of support the next time you purchase a PC from Frys...

  • Can't download past purchases

    Hi
    I am unable to download old purchases from itunes.
    I have made several purchases from itunes on my old Win XP laptop but i am unable to re-download them onto my new Win 7 laptop
    I have authorised both Laptops with my Apple ID and the purchases are shown in the download history of the purchases list. However when i try and down load them i get the following message
    "Your computer is already assosiated with an apple ID"
    I have tried re-authoriseing the new laptop but the message still shows
    can anyone help with this?

    If you can't re-download them via the Purchased tabs in the App Store and/or iTunes store apps then you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to your phone.

  • Can't download song purchased from Itunes from one computer to another using same Apple ID

    Hi, I am operating itunes 11 at home, using Mac OS 10.7.5.. I purchased a song at work (also a Mac, I am not sure which version of OSM or itunes). I accessed the purchase of the song in the "Purchased" menu option in itunes on my home Mac. When I tried to download the song at home so I can include it in my Library, I got the following message:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.
    So: just to be clear:I can only buy something from  itunes from one computer and save to another with the  same Apple ID only every 90 days??? And if that is the case, I have not purchased anything from my work computer within 90 days of this recent song  purchase. That just does not make sense to me, since the license covers 10 devices anyway, and I am using the same Apple ID.
    Let me know if I am not understanding this correctly, or am doing something wrong. It just does make not sense to me that I can't download a purchase I made from one computer to another since I am paying Apple for the music and just accessing it elsewhere, using the same account.
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, my husband logged on to our computer and rented a movie for us to view. That is how we use Itunes: I purchase the music, he may purchase a movie or a rental now and then. This is new, it never happend before.
    Also, I contacted customer support, both by phone and email. Not only does someone else using the home computer under a different account trigger this, but so does simply activating my own user id from a different computer (one of the 5 I am allowed to under the service agreement.)
    Customer support was very helpful and lifted the 90 day ban. I called them because I purchased a season pass of a TV show and could not download the first episode because it was a "past purchase" (the episode was not even available to download when I purchased the pass, so “past” is indeed relevant.)
    But I don't see the point of purchasing content from Apple now. This feature limits the accessibility of legal purchases under the service agreement.  Why allow 5 computers per Apple ID if activating one of them limits the ability to download content for 90 days??
    I (used to) buy movies, rentals and TV shows all the time. I don’t have cable, so Apple was the source for all “must have” shows that I couldn’t wait for. Too bad.

    How many devices can I download a purchased app to?

    Isn't that the same thing?  You're allowed to associate up to 10 devices with the Apple ID on the iTunes account....but are you saying that the limitation is only for music - not apps?

  • HT1657 How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    You can always setup your GMail account on your Mac as a POP3 account, and then flag GMail to mark all messages new.  The next mail check would cause your mail app to download all the messages on teh GMail server to your mail client.  Once they are in your mail client, you manage them locally in there, and it won't matter if the GMail host account goes away or not, because POP3 works with the local data once it is downloaded form the server.
    Be advised that doing this can cause you to redownload thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of emails depending upon your email volume and how long you have been using GMail.  If I do this, my GMail wants to re-send close to 6GB of data to me again because I have been using GMail for about as long as it has existed, and I average 100-200 emails a day on that account.

  • HT201272 how can I download previoulsy purchased audiobooks?

    I am trying to download a previously purchased audiobook but I can't find the way to do it.

    If you buy an audiobook on CD you'll find it needs some effort to get it organized to play on Apple device. See Audiobooks on iPod for details.
    Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store should be packaged as a single chapterized file that works better on Apple devices. At the present time you are only allowed one download of any audiobook, but you can backup those files just as you would any other.
    Even though you can repeat download certain purchased content you should really backup your iTunes library regularly to avoid having to redo any work you've put into organizing your library along with ratings, playlists, and any media you can't download again. For a suggested strategy see this user tip.

    Hello Addymay2,
    I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores. After this, close all open apps and restart your device. Once your iPad is powered back up, sign back into your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    '''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
    Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
    Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
    By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
    You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
    * USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
    ** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
    I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
    Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles
