I can't open the books in iBooks

I just purchased two books and downloaded them into iBooks. When I tried to open them, I got "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." on each of them. I attempted to open books I had purchased previously and got the same message. I've restarted my iPad twice now with no change in results.

Okay... try this...
Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try downloading again.
If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
Hope this answers your question!

I can not open the book samples acquired in the iBooks Store

I can not open the book samples acquired in the iBooks Store on my MacBook Pro with the latest version of Mavericks, I can only open these samples on my ipad or iphone.

Hold both power on and home button together and ignore the red slider until you see the apple logo. Then let go of both buttons and wait for the phone to reset itself.

Re download the book from the cloud.

I purchased a book through iTunes and it downloaded. I synced with my iPad. It shows the book is downloading but that has been going on for two hours and i still can't open the book.

I purchased a book through iTunes. I then synced my iPad and went to iBooks. I clicked on the book and it shows downloading but that has been going on for almost two hours and i still can't open the book. What gives? I have done this before no problem.

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Or you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Have a nice day. I can't open the books linked to the Adobe ID. Always the overallocation says. But some of the books I downloaded two times. Still, it gives a warning in the form of more installations.

I can't open the store from ibook! Help!

After the last ios update can't open the store from ibook!

Have you tried closing the iBooks app via the multitasking bar and seeing if you can open the store when you re-open it ? Double-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.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a 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.

I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks author?

I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
I'm stuck, Please help me!

Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho.

Can't open any books in iBook

I cannot open downloaded books in iBook library. I put 2 books on tonight and went to open it but the pages are blank.
I tried with current books already in iBook that I could open before but they are all blank now too! Can anyone help please?

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!

How can I open the book on my iphone4?

Hello to the community
I need help on how to open my book I just purchased so that I can read it. I am new to the apple family and have just gotten the updated phone a month ago. I purchased on Itunes the book and can see the book but it will not open for me on my phone or my mac book. I found out that I cannot open the book on my mac so I just would like to know how to open the book on the iphone. It is telling me to purchase it again? I all ready spent 14 dollars on the book and would just like to read it now. Please tell me what the steps are, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Marianne

Have you downloaded or synced the (free) iBooks app to your iPhone ? The iBooks app is the only way that you can currently read Apple bought e-books. If you have got the iBooks app then you can either sync the book from your computer to your iPhone via the device's Books tab in iTunes (which you do in a similar way to how you sync music, apps, films etc to the phone). Or you can just download the book directly into the iBooks app on your iPhone (there is help on re-downloading here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). There is also some info on the iBooks app in the iPhone manual which you can download from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/iphone/

I just bought my iPad Air and I'm trying to use iBooks but it's saying that I need iOS device with iBooks. I downloaded the app but still can't open the book

How do I enable my iPad Air to use iBooks

You should download and install iBooks first and then buy books from the iBooks Store. You worked backwards. Where did you but the book? Or where did you download it from?

I can't open the store in ibooks, what can I do?

I have the iphone 4 and can't get into the store to purchase books, I have several books that I have purchased already (so it's not my first time trying to do this). I don't understand why one day I can buy books and the next I can't even open the store?? (The button is shadowed and don't do anything when I try to click on it) HELP PLEASE!!

Okay... try this...
Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try downloading again.
If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
Hope this answers your question!

I recently purchased a book from itunes on my ipad 2 but when i open the book in ibooks i get (incorrectly formatted or not formatted for ibooks) somebody please help

I am currently deployed over seas.. I recently purchased a book that im pretty stoked about. but when i open it in ibooks i get ( incorrectly formatted or not formatted for ibooks to recognize) the file is an .epub so i dont see how it could be a format issue.. I tried emailing apple but because of the situation they want me to call. I have very limited telecomminications at my location .. somebody please help

The Report a Problem link can also be found in iTunes/Store/View Account/Purchase History.
Before asking for a refund, also try deleting the book and redownloading it.
If you find that the iBookstore is does not meet your needs, you can try one of the others like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.
