Ibook on macbok Pro (yosemite) keeps downloading the book over and over

I am first time Mac/OS X user.
At the end of "Get to know your Mac" tour, it was suggested that I download the free "Macbook Pro Essentials"
So I did.
iTunes store shows this as "Downloaded"
in the iBooks app, I see the book with a little "cloud" icon on the top right corner.
I click on the book and/or Cmd+o, and can see that book is being downloaded (9.8MB) I can see the progress reaching 100%, I see the "Open" button
That is it.
Above keeps repeating.
The "Cloud" icon doesn't go away.
I have rebooted (hoping that "fixes" something)
I have already "authorized" the device.
Nothing has helped.
I have iBooks 1.1.1 - if it matters.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit iBooks if it's running. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved. Quit iBooks again before going on to the next step.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following item, if it exists, to the Trash:
          Cookies/com.apple.ibooks.cookies
Step 2
Delete this item in the same way:
          Preferences/com.apple.ibooks.plist
Step 3
Delete this item:
          Containers/com.apple.iBooksX
and move this one to the Desktop:
          Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService
Restart the computer. To log out and log back in is not enough—you must restart.
When you launch iBooks, you'll be prompted to reset the library. Confirm. The library will be empty. Rebuild it by downloading your purchases from the iBooks Store and importing any other content you added. You may find the added content in the folder named "com.apple.BKAgentService" that you moved to the Desktop.

  • I just paid for and downloaded the wrong version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I downloaded the Microsoft version and I have a Mac running OX Yosemite. How do I get a credit for what I ordered and then reorder the correct Mac version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I just paid for and downloaded the wrong version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I downloaded the Microsoft version and I have a Mac running OX Yosemite. How do I get a credit for what I ordered and then reorder the correct Mac version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    If you ordered Acrobat via subscription, then you can use either Windows or Mac version.  Just download/install the Mac version, then activate it with your Adobe ID.
    If you purchased the perpetual license, then you need to Contact Customer Care bu chat or phone.

  • I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro.  I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive.  However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

    I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch).  I removed the partition and started over.  I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive.  However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."  I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

    Try a restart.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Can't update or aquire new loops. also isn't reconzied by app store and keeps downloading the app over and over instead of updating.

    Was playing around with 6.0.5 and noticed I had loops I could download. tried to do so and was told to try to download now or later. I tired to do so and it took me to the app store's update page but it showed no new updates available. I tried to uninstall GB and I for some reason don't have permission to do so even though i'm the only user. also the app store doesn't recognize that I have GB even downloaded at all. so I tried just downloading it from the store and ended up with two GB applications. one that was around 300mb and the other 800mb. the one I would download from the store would never start but would just try to update over and over again. I would delete it and restart my mac and try it again and same thing. I can't seem to do anything else. I can't get any newer versions from the app store because they don't run and I can't update the one version of GB that does function. so I'm kind of stuck with an incomplete copy of GB and a copy that doesn't run and keeps trying to download for 15mins over and over again.
    I really have idea what else I can do...

    All I can suggest
    - Is to download the update file on onother computer/network and try to copy to your computer and try again
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple.

  • Why does it keep downloading the same movie and doesn't allow me to actually watch it?

    It took over 48 hours to download a single movie, then i watched 15 mins of it and the sound disappeared... i then switched off the tv (not apple tv), turned it on again and now it's downloading the movie again!  Why is this happening?

    Hello Nataliesapplequestions,
    It does sound like you have some download issues going on there.
    I'm not sure which Apple TV you have, but please check out the following article.

    It deals with, "playback issues in content that you rent or purchase on Apple TV".

    Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg.  Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this from Apple?  The Verizon FIOS video website was churning on the error message, "Checking device registration status."  It got stuck in a loop. Verizon tech support never came on. Was on terminal "Hold."  Any recommendations?

    Never download anything from CNET. The site is untrustworthy and is known to distribute Windows spyware intentionally.

    Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
    If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

  • Itunes keeps downloading the same songs over and over again on a shared library

    I have a share library on a NAS box, and until now, little problem. But now, iTunes keeps downloading the same songs etc, when I go to another PC, even though the library is shared between the other PC, is the same.
    Plus, iTunes repeatably asks for my Password to log in, even though it is correct.
    Share Library on NAS box, mapped drive paths to drive letters.
    Keeps re-downloading songs and podcasts I all ready have on the NAS box, if I open iTunes on different computer.
    This is new behaviour. Has not happend like this till today.
    Keeps asking for my iTunes ID and Password, over and over again, evertime I run iTunes, or my iPod.
    Thanks in advance.

    Adriana,
    If your .mac account is set to be type .mac (don't laugh, it can be set to be POP, or IMAP), it functions essentially like an IMAP. As a .mac, the Inbox is actually on the server, and when you display the Inbox, you are displaying everything on the server. Any downloading you observe is purely for purposes of display, according to what selections you have made in Mail Preferences. What you report seems perfectly normal, for a .mac account, and for an IMAP account.
    Often an exchange account is also an IMAP account, and thus the behavior would seem normal for that type of account.
    Again the Inbox is on the Server, and not on your Mac. Do not confuse this with selecting to Keep copies for Offline viewing -- those copies are refreshed from the server whenever you sign on.
    Neither a .mac nor IMAP account folder will contain a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file . However, your POP folder should have such a file or two, to control duplicate downloads of messages remaining on the server -- POP was originally designed to remove upon download, but now that many people use more than one computer, it is logical to sometimes leave messages on the server to be download onto other computers.
    In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and look for a folder named to begin with POP and including the server and/or email address in the name. If there is not a POP folder, then the account has NOT been set up to be something other than POP. If there is a POP folder, it should contain the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    More info, please.

  • HT1725 I downloaded the book Sycamore Row last week and when I try to open it on my iPad , i get a message that says: Cannot open "sycamore Row' it is formatted incorrectly, or it is not a format that Ibooks can open. what's up?

    I downloaded the Book Sycamore Row last week on my ipad and when I tried to open it, I got the message that it was formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that ibooks can open? if this is true, how do I get aREFUND?

    You can try deleting the book and reinstall it. There is no reason why the book would be formatted incorrectly - assuming that you purchased this book from the iBooks Store .... And you are talking about the John Grisham novel correct?
    Did you try just closing the iBooks app, restart the iPad and then try again? If you don't know how, this explains how to close an app.

  • Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

    Hi Everyone,
    Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
    The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website.  Filename:  BootCamp5.0.5033
    I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
    NOTE:  I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
    Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up
