I cant download the iBook app to my new iPad.

I am a complete newbie to apple, and must be missing something pretty basic, but I cant seem to download the iBook app to my iPad. I have tried twice, but it doesnt seem to have worked. When I touch the App Store icon, then the Purchased Icon at the bottom of the screen, I see an iBooks page, which says near the top left corner "installed", but it just seems to be a passive web page or an advert for the app, not the actual app itself. It shows customer ratings and reviews etc.
If I touch the Left arrow labelled Purchases at the top left of the screen, the screen moves left and shows a single item under iPad - "iBooks Purchased 17 August" (which I presume is one of my download attempts). But if I touch that item, the screen just moves right to the passive page described above.
I am stuck here, and cant move on. Can anyone help, please?  I would like to have an iBook icon on the home page, which I can use to purchase iBooks fron the iBook store. Thanks.
I have an Apple ID, and I am connecting to the internet successfully via WiFi. I have tried using iTunes on my Windows PC, and had no better luck there.

If you've tried to download it (and it showing 'installed' in the App Store indicates that it is) but it isn't showing on any of your homescreens (you've tried swiping your homescreeen to the leftto see if it's on the next screen ?) then try a reset and see if it appears after the iPad has restarted (other people have had a similar issue with iBooks and it hasn't appeared until after 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

    the iPad is totally new to me.  I can't seem to do anything with my Apple ID.  As the title says, I am trying to download the Facebook app to my new iPad and I keep getting an error.  It tells me to sign in using my existing Apple ID, which I enter, then when I put in the password I get ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed to find service connection url.  Cancel or Retry.  I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I'd also love to know how to get rid of the old owner's name, which was Mike - I'm Ann

    I had exact same error.....
    Rebooting - Failed
    Logging in to iTunes - Failed
    Logging into itunes Store - Failed
    Logging into iTunes Genius - SUCCESS    I woulnd't have thought it would make a difference but it does Then just log into the 'other' services with iTunes.
    Good luck!

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

    There were no results for I've downloaded the kindle app to my new iPad4 but when I went to Amazon UK and tried to download a book it said "this mobile app does not currently support digital downloads. I don't understand! I was told you could download kindle books from amazon straight to iPad if you download the kindle app first. Do I have to do it onto my computer and then sync it onto iPad? surely not?

  • HT4204 i have an iphone 3g and its saying that my IOS 4.2.1 is current but yet i cant download the facebook app or whatsapp ive updated my itunes but it stil wont let me. some one help it would be greatly appreciated.

    i bought a second hand iphone 3g last week and it wont let me get my apps cause it says that i need IOS 5. on my itunes it say that the IOs 4.2.1 is current and that no update is needed. i stil tried to download fb but it wont let me cause i dont have the IOS 5. please help me.

    The Facebook app now requires iOS 5.0 or later.  I believe that 4.2.1 was the last version that Apple released for the 3G.  And with the rapid approach of the iPhone 5S and possibly 6 they are no longer supporting the 3G.  I would not be surprised to see them stop offering support for the 3GS this time around.

  • HT1657 I STILL cant download the itunes rental movie on my Ipad

    Ive read the threads by others, and Ive done a hard reset. I'm in the UK, tme zones etc all OK. My account details are correct. I can see the movie rental from the video icon at the bottom of the screen, and see the box where it should be shown, greyed out. If I click on the little cloud icon with the arrow pointing down, it comes up with a message "you have already rented this, but it has not been downloaded. Go to downloads to manager your downloads". I know that "downloads" doesnt exist on the Ipad . Any advice? Its really frustrating!!

    Hello there, Evelynafitz.
    The following link in the iPad User's Guide might be of some assistance in locating the Downloads section in the iTunes Store:

  • HT204266 When trying to download the facebook app......it says PayPal is not accepted.  I don't think I have PayPal setup as a payment option and facebook is supposed to be free

    When trying to download the facebook app on my new IPAD 2.....it tells me PayPal is not accepted.  I have an Itues account for my Ipod but didn't think I had PayPal setup as a payment option??

    Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?
    Settings / Facebook / Install on iOS 6.1.3 Will need to sign in your valid FB account.

  • I downloaded ibooks via ipad2 then synced to itunes, now ipod touch wont add the ibooks app

    Hi,
    I just bought an Ipad2.  Today I downloaded the iBooks app directly to the Ipad.  When I connected to my PC to sync, the iBooks transfered to itunes as planned.  When I plugged in my Ipod touch 4th gen to sync, it told me that in order to get the ibooks app, i need to go to the app tab.  When in the app tab I see the icons, and I am unable to adjust or click which apps to add.  It is a shaded out version, where you can see but not edit.  So I decided to go to itunes store to download the app, and it says downloaded, so I can download again.
    Please help

    Download directly from iPod touch.  On iTouch, go to App Store, 'Update' Tab', select 'Purchased', then 'Not on this iPod Touch', scroll down to look for iBook and install.

  • How do I get the iBooks App from my iTunes library in the PC to my iPad?

    I went into the itunes store from my PC, then downloaded the iBooks app. It wwas successful, but when I sync my iPad to the iTunes library, I don't get the app. Why? Do I need to get a separate internet service for my iPad alone so I can access the iTunes store from the iPad? Or is there a way for me to get the iBooks from the library in the PC to my iPad? I'm so confused, and I'm a new apple product user.
    Any help's appreciated

    There is no option for a check mark in there. I just tried. I can see the iBooks app under Library>Applications, but there's no option for me to check it.
    I tried switching to all the viewing modes, and it still doesn't appear.
