IBook froze during download and will not open?

Hi,
I bought a book from iBooks and it never downloaded.
The book is now frozen and will not open.
I downloaded the iBook via wifi, that was on maximum strength.
This has never happened before I bought over 40 iBooks.
I have tried: -
1. Deleting iBooks and reinstalling iBooks still frozen
2. I have tried resetting (holding home button and sleep bottom)
3. Signing out of iTunes account on my iPad and signing back in still frozen
I am reluctant to restore my iPad as I have several books that I have downloaded from ebook stores that are now closed and therefore i cannot replace them.
Any ideas, I would be grateful. x

  • Movie rental froze during download and will not finish downloading or let me reorient it?

    I rented a movie on iTunes for my iPad and began watching the movie. I needed to pause to goto work, but when ingot home the movie rental would not open. I went into iTunes and it showed that it needed to download. It downloaded till the end where it says processing,but then froze there. My movie rental counted down and then ended,but it still shows as downloading in iTunes and will not let me clear it or recent the movie.

    I have this same issue.  It has happened with two movies I rented.  Actually, I watched most of both movies but they are both still on my iPhone despite the 24-hour expiration.  Both movies are frozen at the "processing" step.

  • Greetings, I have been trying to download Lion but unfortunately in pauses during download and will not continue.  All of the specs seem to be in line for what is needed to download. thanks

    Hello
    If anyone has any info on downloading Lion would be greatly appreciated.  The download is in a constant state of pause.  I cannot get it out of the pause phase into active download.  Anyone having similar trouble?
    thx

    See if either of these two things help.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

  • I purchased an iBook on my iPad air and all software updates are done but the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

    I Purchased a book in iBooks on my iPad air with all updates complete 8.0.2 and the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

    Tapping the icloud arrow should get it to download to your bookshelf and it should then get 'downloaded' against it in Purchased instead of the arrow. See if any of the following fix it :
    - close the iBooks app via the device's taskbar and then re-open the app and re-try downloading it : iOS: Force an app to close.
    - soft-reset of the device : 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 equivalent of a reboot.
    - log out and back into your account : select the Featured tab in the app, scroll to the bottom of it, tap on your id and log out, and then log back in

    Get the official version of Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
    As long as you '''''don't''''' select the option to '''Remove Firefox personal data and customizations''' when you un-install that "Yahoo version", you won't lose anything.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Downloaded videos will not open and play

    downloaded videos will not open and play, both HD and SD.

    Try VLC Media Player.  It has a reputation for playing just about anything you throw at it.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You
    T-BILL

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

  • Indesign keeps crashing and will not open anymore

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro gets corrupted and will not open

    After a month or so Adobe acrobat gets corrupted and will not open, so I have to uninstall it and reinstall it again. I am using windows 8 64bit professional version. Even the updates did not solve the problem.

    The advantage of the repair if it works is that you don't have to repeat the updates. AA X is currently at 10.1.7. The best way to do the updates is typically from the Help>Updates selection. They can also be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (or MAC equivalent) and installed in order -- most are not cummulative.

  • The preference icon has a question mark on it and will not open

    The preference icon has a quetion mark on it and will not open.

    I would venture that one of the torrent files you downloaded has a big black ? mark for an icon.

  • Downloaded apps will not open

    My downloaded apps will not open. I can open apps that came loaded from the factory, but when I attempt to open a downloaded app, the screen momentarily goes black and then returns to the homepage/wallpapered screen.
    I've tried powering off, etc.
    How do I resolve this issue?

    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
