Ibook is stuck - can see my book but won't launch

I can see my book cover in the iBook library but when I tap on the book to open it to read iPad brings me to a page I've never seen before -- it is asking me to rate the book by stars, option to "tell a friend" or "write a review".  It also presents additional books written by the same author.  I have tried hard shut down, picking up the latest updates. I can't turn pages.  I hope someone knows what's going on and can help. 
I have read many chapters in my book before this crazy thing started to happen.  I can't see where I have put bookmarks and notes but iBooks won't go to those pages when I tap on the text. 
Appreciate any help...

Here I come with more suggestions you've probably already tried.
1. You've probably already verified that you can still play the movies in iTunes on your computer.
2. You've probably already tried rebooting the AppleTV by pressing and holding both Down and Menu on the original remote until the white LED on the AppleTV starts flashing rapidly. Even once the main menu appears it'll take a little while before the AppleTV starts responding to the remote control (it's still busy booting).
I forgot to ask...are these movies purchased from the iTunes Store? If yes, continue to step 3. If not, there is probably some other reason why they aren't playing and resetting your settings (below) is unlikely to solve the problem.
3. Have you tried logging out of your Apple ID on the AppleTV and logging back in? Shouldn't be necessary but it's worth a try before the next step (which is even more unpleasant):
4. If that didn't work, try resetting the settings on the AppleTV: Settings, General, scroll all the way to the bottom of the list, Reset, Reset all settings. Doing that will require you to re-enter all your accounts and passwords on the AppleTV, including your wireless network password. And after all that trouble, your problem still won't be solved and you'll really hate me (sorry).
Anyone else have any better ideas?

  • My mac can see the network but won't connect to the server

    I have an intel Imac.  The network connect is working but very squirrelly.  I see most objects on the network.  I can see the server but it will not let me connect.
    I go to another mac and I can connect to the server.  So I think its my mac   10.7.5 is the OS

    Probably nothign to do with your iMac or OS X, have you attempted resetting your router? Also you haven't stated what messages you are getting or any other information. If this is at your work then I'd suggest contacting your IT support person, the connection to your network may be on their end.

  • Apple TV can see my library but won't play movies

    I've been using my Apple TV for a couple of months now with no issues. I just installed a Harmony Link, which is working fine, but now i can't play movies on Apple TV. I'm not sure if the two are related, but i happened as soon as i had it all hooked up. I can see my library and scroll through the movies, but when i select one to play it says that it's not available and to try again later. I have less than 10 devices connected to WIFI through my Airport Express, so i assume it's not that, just not sure what it is.
    Anyone come across this?

    Troubleshooting Home Sharing

  • My 4 can see home wifi but won't use it without restarting

    I have wifi at home and at work. Many times when I come home, my 4 will automatically connect to my home wifi, but seemingly won't use it without restarting the phone. I tried going into the network settting and did the reset and went and re-entered the wifi passwords for home and work; and soon after displayed the same bahvior. Work wifi doesn't bother it. My 4 didn't aquire this problem until OS6 and still does it under 6.0.1. Turning off the phone's wifi and back on doesn't help. Renewing lease on wifi doesn't help. My wife has the same phone on the same wifi and the same time and it does'nt do this. She doesn't have wifi at work.
    Sometimes I get very sporadic an limited data, could be using 3G. After phone restart the phone is fine until another day when the problem returns. I've tried turning ap's off but nothing helps but a restart.

    The first thing you need to do is restart your router.  Unplug it, wait 1-2 minutes, plug it back in and wait for it to connect to your provider and download the latest IP informaiton.
    Next go into settings and forget your wifi network.
    Reconnect to your home wifi.
    Go into the settings for your network and set the proxy to Auto not off or manual.
    Hopefully this will work for you.  I had the same problem when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 and setting the proxy to auto seems to have cleared it up.
    Not sure what Apple has done to the firmware and how it interacts with wifi, but hopefully they will have it worked out when iOS 6.1 is released.

    I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
    Please help me..

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • My screen on my mac book pro is black. I can see the mouse, but nothing on the screen

    Please help! My computer has been perfectly fine! I get home and turn it on, and it boots up just fine, but my screen is black. However, I can see the mouse but nothing else. What do I do!?

    Try resetting SMC and NVRAM and then reboot.

    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off (hold the power key down for 7 to 10 second).  Boot and hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .

  • I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

    I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

    If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

  • I can see the pics but when I click on the event itself a HUGE exclamation mark pops up and not my pic.

    OK..this forum help me locate my iPhoto so HOPEFULLY ya'll can help me w/ 1 another issue. When I open an event in iPhoto...I can see the pics but when I click on the event itself a HUGE exclamation mark pops up and not my pic. Its really weird that I can see the pic but cant open it. Hopefully we can correct this issue. Also, if anyone has the energy....pls tell me how I can export from my iphoto-I want to place all my pics on CDs or my external hard drive and when I try to export it says.."unable to export.." I dunno!
    Help PLZZZZZ!
    Lost again,
    Amanda 

    The two problems are related.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    And that's why you can't export as well.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Bonjour - Mac A can see Mac B but not vice versa

    Hi
    Very odd behaviour with Bonjour. Up until yesterday, my macbook pro (call it A) would see my mac pro (B) - it would appear automatically in A's sidebar, I could listen to B's iTunes library on A and so on. No problem and there hasn't been for a couple of years. B could not see A - but I didn't really need it to and this wasn't an issue.
    Suddenly, this morning, the situation is completely reversed. A can no longer see B at all, but B can see A.
    I can connect both ways by using 'Connect', I can ping both ways, but I can't get A to discover B using Bonjour.
    The only think I've done that I can think can have caused the changes is to use Omnifocus sync (with B holding the sync server) - it worked fine all day, but overnight Bonjour seems to have reversed itself as described above.
    Bonjour Browser shows me that B can see A, but A can't see B. I have identical settings on both machines for sharing, network, firewall (all everything).
    Bizarrely, for one two minute period a couple of hours ago, the situation reversed itself (A could see B but not vice versa), but then immediately went back to B can see A, but not vice versa.
    Both computers are running the same version of Leopard (10.5.7). I've reinstalled the OS on B, just to see, but this hasn't improved matters.
    I can find nothing on google or this discussions forum to explain this bizarre behaviour - most support threads seem to peter out without being resolved. Has anyone any idea what's going on please? I'm quite happy getting stuck into the command line, if that's needed.
    Many thanks
    David

    The Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly to the router, the Mac Pro connects to the same router by ethernet.
    As far as I'm aware, I'd made no changes to any of the setups (computers or router) before the problem occurred: bonjour worked fine, but in one direction only (the MBP could see the Mac Pro, but not vice versa). Now, the Mac Pro can see the MBP, but not vice versa - and this is a problem because my printer and itunes server both sit on the Mac Pro.
    I've set all the firewall and security settings I could find to transparent access - and (except for the obvious difference between the wired and wireless links), the setups are identical on both computers.
    By the way, I can connect to the Mac Pro easily enough and transfer files, I just can't see it via bonjour or use Screen Sharing (again the settings haven't changed since they were working!)
    Many thanks
    David

  • I can see my backups but there is no info in the Time Machine preferences

    I recently upgraded to Lion and everything seemed OK with Time Machine but now when I click "Enter Time Machine" I can see the backups but when I open Time Machine Preferences I see "Oldest Backup: None" and "Latest Backup: None"
    I have not made a new backup in fear of deleting my old backups!
    I have also had some problems connecting to Time Machine — I have had to reboot Time Machine more than once and reboot my Mac Book Pro in order for the computer to see Time Machine.
    All this only started after installing Lion!

    I talked to AT&T and Apple.  ATT says its the phone and Apple says its not the phone.

    The next iOS update won't change this.
    Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

  • Apple TV 2 Can See My Library, But Can't Connect for Home Sharing

    I'm really at my last rope, so hoping someone will have mercy and be able to help here.
    Symptoms:
    - Go to my Apple TV 2
    - Under the Home Sharing menu, select "Adam Nash's Library"
    Result:
    - Spinning cursor
    - Cannot connect to "Adam Nash's Library".  Please check that your computer is on and on the same network.
    Internet access works for all devices, they all can do Netflix and Apple Store.  Only one network in the house.  No firewall activated on the mac.
    I have multiple AppleTV units, and this has intermittently affected all of them.  Periodically, I have solved the problem by taking them on / off ethernet.
    Things I have tried:
    - Restarting iTunes on the computer
    - Turning Home Sharing on and off on AppleTV
    - Turning Home Sharing on and off on iTunes
    - Rebooting the computer
    - Resetting the AppleTV units
    - Restoring the AppleTV units
    - Forcing the AppleTV units to different IP
    - Forcing the AppleTV units to Ethernet instead of Airport (by plugging into Airport base stations directly)
    - Swapping AppleTV units to different rooms
    Nothing works.
    One clue.  I have three Airport Extreme base stations in the house, and this problem begain when one of them started misbehaving (would connect, but wouldn't pass through packets.)  It's an Airport Extreme Base Station (Series 1).  The other two are Series 4 & Series 5.  I reset the misbehaving box and reconfigured it, and seems to be working fine from a networking standpoint.  But once that happened, one of the AppleTVs started showing this problem.
    Is there some reason that Home Sharing is hyper sensitive to the network in some way?  It *seems* like what's happening is that it's seeing the iTunes Library (which is why it show's the Library name), but when it tries to connect, something is either encrypted differently or permissioned wrong. 
    Hoping someone can help me.  Frustration is at 11.

    One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
    In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet.  The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
    When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
    If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
    Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing.  Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues.  Purely Home Sharing.
