I downloaded my first book on iBooks and says its downloaded but its not there

I downloaded my first book on iBooks and it says its downloaded but its not in my library.

Did you check on the device you downloaded it on?  Did you actually purchase and download the book on your iPad?  If so, did you check in the iBooks app?  If you downloaded the book on iTunes, did you sync your iPad using iTunes and then check the iBooks app?
You did purchase the iBook at the Apple iBook Store, right?

  • After a notice of update, I was unable to use iTunes. It said I had a missing dll file and a Windows error 7. I removed iTunes and tried to reinstall. I selected the download items off the apple site. It says thank you but still not there.

    Having problems downloading iTunes. After an update notice, I was unable to open iTunes. I de-installed and attempted to reinstall it and it still won't open.
    The first error duirn the update was a dll file missing, then a Windows error 7. The screen on the Apple site say  Thank you for downloading, but still not there.

    A msi file is short for microsoft installer.  It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program.  For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
    From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before. 
    I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes.  It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help.   Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes.  It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
    This was what was said.
    Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I just downloaded a book from ibooks and it says that it is unable to open the book

    i just downloaded a book "made for ibooks" after downloading the ibooks app.  However when I click on it it say it is "unable to open".  I thought it was a download issue, and went to download it again, but don't have that option, as it says it is "downloaded".

    Hello, jbc1952. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would recommend deleting the problematic book and downloading it again by accessing your previous purchases.  Here are a couple articles that will help you with this process.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the book you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a book:
    Tap the iBooks app.
    View your Purchased Books collection.
    Tap Edit.
    Tap any books you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    You'll have the option to delete your book on all your devices.

    Books
    Follow these steps to download purchased books:
    Tap iBooks and tap Store.
    Scroll down and tap Purchased.
    Tap the book that you want to download.

  • Downloading a preordered book on ibooks

    I preordered a book on iBooks and received an email that it's available, but when I try to download it I get a message to go to purchases and download it, but when I try I keep getting stuck in this loop.  I've seen the problem, but no real solution.  Can anyone help?

    Go to iTunes on your computer, click on your name then on Account Info. Scroll to the bottom and under Settings you will see Pre-orders at the very bottom, with a Manage Pre-orders button to the right. Click on the Manage button to cancel the pre-order.

  • I use podcasts all the time but downloaded my first books from the istore this morning. how do I get them to my ipod?

    I use podcasts all the time but downloaded my first books from the istore this morning, I can't get them synced onto my ipod. What am I doing wrong?

    the audiobooks I purchased show up in itunes under books and under purchased items but i cannot make them sync to my ipod. I followed your directions but it did not help. I have drag and dropped to a playlist which shows up on itunes but not on my ipod even after repeated syncs. when I try to drag and drop to the books or audiobooks in the itunes list it gives me the NO symbol.

  • I bought a book through iBooks and was reading it then I put it back in library when I went to read it again it would not open.  What can I do?

    I bought a book from iBooks and was half way through then I returned it to my library.  When I went to my library and tried to open it again it would not open.  What do I do?

    There are a few things that you could try :
    Close the iBooks app completely. From the home 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.
    You could also try deleting the book and re-downloading it.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

    I opened a new book in iBooks and the toolbar to get back to the library has disappeared!

    With the pdf still open - tap on LIBRARY in the upper left corner. You may have to tap on the body of the pdf itself to get the option to come up on the iPad screen.

  • I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab.

    I have an iphone 4 and downloaded my first movie (hd) onto my PC (windows 7) I have not been able to figure out how to transfer the move to my iphone. The movie is in a new tab called "rented" not under the "movie" tab. All of the support I have read talks about the movie being in the "movies" tab. I cannot use the "move" function or the "transfer" function because they are not available. Is this an issue because I just updated to the newest software?

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.
