I downloaded a book on iBook and when I opened it all I got was a gray screen and I can't go back to my library. Help! How do I get rid of the gray screen and go back to my library?

I downloaded a book on iBook but when I tried to open it all I got was a empty gray screen. I can't do anything. How do I go back to my library? There are no icons, nothing.... Help

If tapping the book doesn't give a button at the top left to go back to your Library, then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks '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.

  • Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

    You could use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?

  • A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • How do I get rid of the passcode screen on the ios7 update?

    How do I get rid of the passcode screen on my ios7 update on iPhone?

    I'd like to do the same and I've seen this "solution" before, but I do not see Passcode under Settings > General. I see Auto-Lock, but changing those settings doesn't get rid of the Passcode screen either. Did it change with iOS7.1?

  • How do I get rid of the white screen of death? :(

    Hi!
    How do i get rid of the white screen of death?
    (iPod Touch Gen 2), I don't want to get a new iPod and I heard you can fix it without going to an apple store, are there any solutions..? (:
    Please help!! Thank you!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I get rid of the scaling border and double click on mobile devices?

    Hello,
    I'm running into some trouble with two things on mobile.
    1. The project has no border on a desktop computer. When you view it on an ipad or iphone it puts a border around it. I found out this is due to scaling as it goes away when I add viewport, but I don't want viewport turned on. Does anybody know how to get rid of the border?
    2. I have a navigation bar with a png image sitting inside the div. When you click the div it shows a video which works perfect on a desktop computer. When it's on an ipad or iphone you have to tap it twice. The first tap shows the mouseover effect (background color change) then you have to tap it again to show the video. How do I set it to show the video on the first tap? I tried touchstart but had no luck.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi, Scott-
    Regarding the first one, it's the only way I know of to get rid of that outline.  The second question, have you tried getting rid of your mouseover and click event and just relying on the touch event?  The only reason I ask is that sometimes the various events will interfere with one another, especially since the mobile browsers will try to mimic the desktop events as much as possible, but the reaction time can be poorer.  For instance, I've found that iOS, touch events fire much quicker than a click event.  Having both touch events and click events is kind of just a race condition waiting to happen.
