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.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac Apphttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
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.
Download past purchases

  • I was trying to sign into apple with my existing user name (just downloaded 07 on my phone)and it says that my email is already being used, don't know what to do?

    I have an apple id that doesn't include my email, when trying to download on my phone (new system 07) it wants user name to include email address, i typed that in and it says it is already being used, not sure what to do?

    Is there a "I forgot my password" option anywhere? If so, I would enter your email address and then click that option. That way, they'll email you your password and you can use that to access the account and see what's going on.

  • I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. 
    If it can be downloaded again, delete the track from iTunes.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If it is corrupt and you cannot download it a second time, contact Apple.  Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,

    I tried several times to download  pages that I already pay for and it says that there was an error in the installation , what can I do

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading.
    -  Third party download managers can cause problems when downloading apps.
    I see v10.7.4 in your profile but make absolutely sure that's correct because the minimum requirements for Pages is v10.7.4 according to the Pages Information panel at the App Store.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

  • HT201441 I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but it on not showing up on mu music playlist. What should I do?

    I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but on my music playlist it does not show up. What shoud I do?

    Download it to iTunes on your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone.  Make sure the album is selected to sync to your phone before syncing.  If that doesn't work, you may have to delete all the music off your phone, then sync it back from iTunes.  To delete your music, go to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then click Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Music.

    You need to reinstall the App Store.
    Use Lion Recovery to do that.

    Anyone have any suggestions?? I've run iTunes for years now, this last  update "killed" the ablity for it to run automatically on my Win7  machine.  I've unloaded EVERTYTHING apple on my computer 3x times now,  reloaded, as admin - even paid for cleaners to make sure.  Run all the  Microsoft patches, updates, everthing I could find...NOTHING seems to be  working.

  • Iv'e just bought a MacBook Pro and iPhoto says that  it can't be opened because it is either damaged or incomplete.

    My new MacBokk Pro has iPhoto which does not work because it is either damaged or incomplete.
    I've tried to download the latest update 9.3.2. for it but it then says that I need 9.0. before the upgrade works. I've done that but it now says I need an earlier version to make 9.0. work.
    How far back do I have to go and where do I get it from?
    I've tried to to migrate the old version of Iphoto '08  7.1.5. across from my old MacBook but I'm told that it is no longer supported.
    I'm now stuck with an old machine with a fractured screen and a bent body and a new machine that won't (as yet) take new installations.
    Anyone out there able to help?

    Go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID
    Click on the Purchases List
    Accept the apps offered
    You can then re-install from there.

  • I have downloaded books on ibooks on my sons iMac now I have my own iMac and we share an iCloud. I want to open the books in my computer on my ibooks and it says that this computer is not authorized. What can I do to authorize my computer to open the book

    I need help because I recently purchased my Macbook Pro and I am trying to open a book that I purchased in Ibooks on my sons computer. We share an icloud account and my computer keeps saying that my computer is not authorized to open the Ibooks. How do I authorize my computer to be able to do that?

    did you use your sons Apple ID..?  If so... those items are tied to that Apple ID.
    If your issue is with the Authorization of your New Mac...
    On your Computer... Open iTunes...  
    If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "  
    and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • TS1362 I have tried all of the above "fixes" and the cd that I just downloaded won't play properly. It says that the song is 3:33 long but only 1:40 of it plays before skipping to the next track

    How do I fix a cd that did not download correctly. I have tried all of the above fixes, but the songs either stop halfway through, or won't play at all.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Im trying to download a movie from itunes and it says i dont have enough memory. I can see that I have 13G in icloud but i dont know how to add the movie to that memory

    Hi,
    Im trying to download a movie from itunes to my ipad 2 but it says i dont have enough memory. I have 13G of space on icloud but cant figure out how to down load it to icloud. Can anyone advise please.

    Hi back,
    Icloud cannot be used to increase internal memory of ipads, otherwise nobody would buy more expensive 32, 64, 128 gigabyte versions. Hype with "movies in the cloud" is more of itunes store, keeping movies available for you in order to download on any device. That does not go against your storage in the cloud, though.
    So if you go to your computer and you purchased movie ( not rented ) you can download and watch.
    There is something else to pay attention to, your ipad (if I am not mistaken) is not capable to run HD movies, make sure you do buy Standard Definition, and they will take less space on ipad.

    From http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ebooks/help-faqs.asp#NOOKapp
    How do I download my books to my device? I get a message "Safari cannot Download".Launch the NOOK app software to trigger the automatic syncing of your purchases to your device. You can also manually tap the 'gear' button in the lower right-hand corner of the navigation bar and then hit Account Settings. This will open a screen to allow you to enter your login information which includes your account name and password. Press Go and your information will be verified and then the contents of your on-line NOOK Library will be listed for you. Then just browse your book listings and tap on the book you'd like to download to your device. A popup will confirm your request. Press OK and the book will download to your device in the background, and you'll be notified when it has finished downloading.

  • I downloaded 1100 photos from Kodak Easy Share to Iphoto. Now when I open the photo events in the photo library, a thumbnail screen of all the pictures appears. However, when I click on a thumbnail photo to enlarge it, a lock symbol appears. Help!

    If Larry's suggestion re iPLM doesn't help there's always the last ditch effort solution:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
