Ibook purchase won't download on ipad

I purchased a book on my Mac (Mavericks OS) from the iBooks store. It downloaded on my computer. It also downloaded on my iPhone. But when I tried to download it on my iPad Air (OS 8.0.2) it indicates in small gray letters that it is downloading, which is where it has been stuck for the past 12 hours. So I rebooted the iPad. Same result. When I typed the title into the search box in iBook,the book appeared on the screen with the little blue circle with the square dot inside showing next to the title. I tapped it and it became the "read". Then I tapped it and it became the little cloud symbol with the downward pointing arrow. When I tapped that, the little blue circle returned but nothing happened, again.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a similar problem although it is only for one book.  Other purchased books are downloading OK but one I purchased made to be viewed on the ipad will not download.
Tried signing out of itunes account and signing back in.
Tried deselecting sync collections
Tried upgrading ipad to ios8.2
Really frustrating.  If it can't be fixed it would be nice if I could get the money back for the purchased book that won't download.  Is there any way to do this?

  • New purchase won't synch with iPad!

    I have the latest iTunes software running on the family Windows 7 Home Premium X64 desktop.  It is connected to my no-longer-updateable iPad 1 running the latest version of iOs available via USB cable.  I download all episodes of a recent purchase of Masterpiece Theater (Daunton Abbey season 3) intending to transfer it to my iPad just like I did with earlier downloads of the same series so I can watch it in bed with headphones while my husband sleeps.  The transfer fails with a message indicating that the format is not supported.  Then we tried streaming it over our 1000 mbps certified Ethernet network to our Apple TV.  This worked just fine in the past.  Now, all of a sudden, the new download "freezes" on screen when streamed to the Apple TV.  Ouir Apple TV also refuses to install new versions of iOs!  We have over $900.00 invested in this hardware alone, why has it suddenly stopped working on what seems to be a standard procedure that has been working to the better part of three years?  Do we have to "back date" our iTunes software and re-download?  We have 52 mbps wireless networking connected to the iPad 1.  Is there a way to stream my purchase directly to the old iPad?  We received a subscription to the Atlantic Magazine, but their app only runs on iOs 6 and won't install.  Is there a work around for this probelm?

    You need to use iTunes 10.5.1 in order to install the update to the iPad.
    Make sure that you are connecting the iPad to a USB port on the Mac - not a port on a hub. Try using another USB port on the MacBook as well.

  • Pages for ios8 won't download on iPad mini

    Every time I try to update pages on my iPad min, it gets almost to the end and then stops. An error message pops up that states that there was an error downloading pages and that it can't download at this time. It downloaded on my iPhone without any problem but won't on my iPad. Any ideas why?

    Thanks for the replay, James. Unfortunately, I don't think that's the problem. I've tried a couple of times today and I still get the same error: Unable to Download App "Pages" could not be downloaded at this time.

  • Music purchased on iTunes downloaded to iPad but not seen in iPod App

    Bought a bunch of music files last night at the iTunes store. Downloads looked fine, with progress bars moving nicely for each file; all files downloaded in a reasonable amount of time. I was doing some other stuff on the iPad during part of the download session, but each time I checked the iTunes downloads, they were still moving along. My credit card was charged, and my iTunes account shows that the files were purchased and are no longer available for download. After the downloads were complete, I hit the "Purchased" button to listen, and none of the files are there, just the old stuff that came over onto the iPad during a previous sync. Tried relaunching the iPod app and rebooting the iPad. Had recently updated to v4.2 of the OS.

    I have not read this but with a very quick search in the search area in the upper right corner of the Apple web site next to support, I found this when I typed - "purchased music does not appear in iPod on my iPad

  • TS1424 App Store purchase won't download

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the App store, and when I try to download it, I get "an error occurred" message. It won't download but I've been charged for it. I've contacted Adobe but they said I have to contact iTunes. I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.4. Any suggestions?

  • My purchase won't download to ipod, only iphone?

    i purchased a few albums and a song from itunes and i was able to download it to my iphone but now it won't download to my ipod??

    Why won't they download to the iPod?  I assume you have double checked to make sure they are configured to sync to your iPod Classic via the iPod's Music configuration in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, select it from under Devices. To the right, locate the Music tab along the top and click on it. Under this tab, you can configure how and what music content is synced to the device.
    If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    Or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

  • In-app purchase won't download.  What do I do other than ask for a refund?

    My in-app purchase hasn't downloaded.  Can I do it manually or should I just ask for a refund?

    Are you on wifi or cellular? Cellular has download size limits that may be part of the issue.
    You can also look on the app's support page and see what they recommend.

  • Book won't download on iPad

    My copy of "The Ascendant" successfully downloaded in iBooks Mac, but will not download on my iPad or iPhone. I've tried deleting it from both iDevices. In both cases, the book was relisted as download-ready in iBooks, but the download failed at what appears to be the same point (book cover faded out, no progress bar). Any suggestions as to how can I fix this?

    1. Make sure the book appears within your iTunes library on your computer - if that's not already the case, use the "Transfer purchases" feature in iTunes after connecting your iPhone
    2. Then sync iTunes with your iPad and make sure to have enabled iTunes Book sync.
