IBook (iPad 2) download error - can't get book to open

I went to the iBook Store and tried to download a 'Sample' of the book: Mac OS X Lion, by Robin Williams (Peachpit Press), but the download crashed.  I was left with a book icon with the little blue progress bar at 100% but it's stuck there.  Can't delete it, can't open it.  So I then decide to buy the full book and it's download crashes too.  When the book icon appears, I open it but it's just a book with two blank pages and no pages will turn.  I can get to the Contents page but every section heading is double-listed.  Clearly everything is messed up.  How can I solve this?  I don't want to trash the iBook app as I am in the middle of reading another book and don't want to lose my place or bookmarks.  Thanks.

Try shutting down the iBook app completely by double clicking the home button, when the multi-task window opens find the iBook app then hold you finger on it for a few seconds it will start to wiggle and a red minus sign will show up in the upper left corner tap the minus sign to close the app, then try the iBook app.

  • Can't get books to open in Kindle on iPhone4.

    !) My Kindle app has already been updated before the latest Apple Update
    2) I did not have this problem last night.
    3) As of this morning, I can open the Kindle app on my iPhone 4 but when I go to open a book it closes.
    Suggestions?
    Not sure if this has any bearing but I am one of the few that can't send/receive text unless I am on WiFi or if I have my Cellular data turned on ever since the newest update/fixes.
    This is really interfering in my Honor Harrington addiction!

    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card
    - Press the home button when done.

  • I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced. Repair shop completely stripped down my machine and reloaded Operating system, Yosemite 10.10.1. tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????

    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced.
    Repair shop completely stripped down my machine and reloaded Operating system, Yosemite 10.10.1.
    I tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????
    My machine had originally been a clone of another Mac. Not it looks like a brand new computer.
    Possibly there is something in system preferences to change? I turned off Firewall and allow downloads from all parties.
    Thank You for you help!

    150:30 means the licensing failed. Photoshop can't be moved like other programs from another drive or from backup.
    I would suggest a reinstall to fix it. Anytime you move Photoshop from from drive to another, it breaks licensing. A install is the quickest way. to fix it.
    When you are done with the install, apply all CS4 updates.  Product updates

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini.  Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini.  How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

    Thank you for your reply Domingo.  Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes.  But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account.  I did finally get an answer from Apple.  It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution.  Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out.  Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password.  Then you can download the book onto your device.  Not too bad, huh?  It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out.  Geez.  What a disappointing experience.

    iPad can connect only in one iTunes Library. If you want to connect it to a iTunes Library then you have to erase it. You can erase it from iTunes. Make sure you iPad doesn't have a password, or if it has a password make sure that you connect to the computer and enter the password of your iPad

  • I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
    If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
    If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
    The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button.

  • Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "foo" ...}

    I have a lot of files in Corel Painter 8's RIFF format. I want to write a script that opens a file and somehow forces Corel Painter 8 to save the file as a GIF. GUI scripting may be some help with the latter; now I am concentrating on finding RIFF files and opening them in Corel Painter 8.
    I have a script that does a depth-first search of the folders starting at some root folder, using the Finder application to do the file-system stuff. It creates a list with
    set docs to every document file of pages_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
    as it loops through folders it adds to the list like this:
    set more_documents to every document file of a_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
    set docs to docs & more_documents
    My naîve mental model is that docs is a list of document-file objects. Next I have a loop that attempts to strip out files for which a GIF file already exists (and is no older than the RIFF document). This works by deleting non-matching items like so:
    if not isgifneeded then
    set docs to items 1 thru (i - 1) of docs & items (i + 1) thru (length of docs) of docs
    end if
    Finally it tries to open one of the files in Corel Painter 8 using the Finder:
    open item 1 of docs using "Corel Painter 8"
    This does not work. I get an error message
    Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "bar" of folder "foo" of folder "blah" of folder "pdc" of folder "Users" of startup disk, ... }."
    It lists all of the files. (The error message appears in a sheet that extends off the bottom of the screen!) They are identified in the message as document-file objects. The curly braces are, I believe, the AppleScript notation for a list. I expect to be able to obtain the first element of a list with ‘item 1 of xs’. My assumption is that the Finder’s open command would expect a document file object, or at least would be able to cope with being asked to open a document. What am I missing here?
    PowerBook 12" without mini-DVI   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi Damian and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One suggestion: try
    tell application "Finder" to open item 1 of docs
    (without 'using "Corel Painter 8"')
    As far as the Finder is concerned, "Corel Painter 8" is just a string of characters. And telling the Finder to open a file is just the same as double-clicking it: the Finder knows which app to use - as long as these are native Corel Painter 8 docs.
    Hope this helps,
    H

  • Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream.  How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

    Hi Jose Sam,
    It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
