IBook shows as downloaded but won't open

I downloaded a book from iBooks it shows as downloaded but won't open?

Hello Coastalcharm
Start with the troubleshooting in the article below and simply restart your iPhone or iPad. If that does not work, then try deleting the book and download the book again. You may end up having to delete iBooks and install it again.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Have you tried these avenues?

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes downloads but won't open

Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7 in September, I've been having problems...it worked great for the first week and now refuses to open. I've tried completely removing iTunes, Quicktime, and iPod Updater before reinstalling, but it still won't work after several tries. I've tried opening it from Windows Task Manager, from Program Files, the Start Menu, and by clicking on the icon. The program and my music is there, it just won't open--I don't even get an error message. It just doesn't do anything. Help!
Dell Dimension DIM2400 Windows XP Pro Intel Pentium 4 Processor

I only have 256MB of RAM, though I'm planning on upgrading. Do you think that might be a problem?
it's not the first thing i think about in these circumstances. if you're planning on upgrading anyway, that's fine. but i probably wouldn't rush your plans as part of a troubleshooting measure for the itunes/quicktime thing.
backtracking to something else you said earlier:
itunes.exe does appear in the Task Manager processes once I click on it, but not under applications.
is it a long persistence in there, or is it more of a quick 1-2 second appearance? (that can help with identifying possible culprits.)
if you try launching your QT after a reboot, does the QuickTimePlayer.exe process appear (in Task Manager in the Processes tab) immediately, or do you have to wait for 5 minutes before that one shows up?

ITunes downloaded but won't open

Got new iPod yesterday. Downloaded iTunes successfully (already had QTime) but it won't open. Have tried running virus scanner & AdAware, updated browser and checked all browser and audio settings. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and QuickTime SEVEN times, but still can't launch iTunes. All other software functioning normally. iPod unit itself seems to work--but, of course, no music on it yet. Have spent 5.5 hours going through every suggestion on this site, but nothing helps; all settings seem to be correct. Cannot find any contact info for APPLE!!!! Extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions?

I spent about 8 hrs on this yesterday (Thanks Apple). I did get it to work though, here is what I did:
I was able to get Itunes to work

I did all the things everyone suggested but no luck.
The way I made it work: I removed Itunes and quicktime as directed in other threads via the control panel. Then I did a search of the root directory for anything with itune in it (itune.), I then deleted those files. I did the same thing for quicktime. After deleting the files I emptied the recycle bin, rebooted and then reinstalled Itunes. I did not install to the default directory (C:\program files\Itunes), I put Itunes on the root (C:\Itunes).I really don't know if it was stupid luck or if it was the correct thing to do but it worked for me? Could be that just putting it on the root C: did the trick?
There were some quick time files that I couldn't delete.
There were also some itune files that I couldn't delete until I went to the directory and deleted the whole directory, the folders had long names with both letters and numbers.
This was for my duaghters new Ipod, I am going to stick with my Zen.

Fox news app downloads but won't open

Continue to have trouble getting some apps to work. The Fox News app downloads ok but when I try to use it it won't open. Have had the same problem with other apps (Popular Science) and just gave up. Any help would be appreciated.

iPad up to date?
Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes.
Select the iPad under Devices.
Select the Summary tab from the menu then click: Check for Updates
Hold down the Fox News app until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x then tap Delete.
Reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Now re download the Fox News app.

LR5 downloaded but won't open

I just completed subscribing to CC. Downloaded several apps including LR5, PhotoshopCC and BridgeCC. Lightroom 5 opened and I updated the catalog from LR4.
I closed LR5, then reopened. Now LR5 asks me for a serial #. I put in my LR4 serial number but that doesn't work. LR5 won't open. LR4 opens ok.

Hi Ralph,
Based on this thread it looks like you got it fixed with a reinstall

Some photo show as thumbnails but won't open

Some of my photos show up in the thumbnail view but when I attempt to open them they don't show up. I get a greyed dotted line with an ! in the center. They photos are still there because I can open them with Photoshop & Preview. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and rebuilt the library. All of the photos I was having the problem with didn't rebuild. What do I do now?

To set up PS as an external editor, you go to the iPhoto Preferences and in the General Pane, use the drop down menu at Edit Photo: to select Photoshop.
If you do this then when you double click on a pic in iPhoto it will automatically open up in PS, and then when you save it it will be automatically saved back into iPhoto.
I suspect what has happened is that as you've used PS to edit pics by going through the folders you have inadvertently altered things in the iPhoto Library Folder and that consequently iPhoto has lost track of the pics. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
What to do now? I don't think you'll be able to return the iPhoto Library Folder to it's original condition, so I'm afraid you'll need to create and repopulate a new library. To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find there the Originals folder. From there drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Never changes things via the Finder. Everything you need to do can be done from the iPhoto Window. For instance, if you want to get to the files, you do this via the iPhoto Window, using one of these three methods
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Everything you need to do can be done from the iPhoto Window. If you need help achieving something, by all means post again.

PDF's download but won't open online..

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, PDF files do not open up but are immediately sent to the downloaded file area.

The Installer that you had downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5786 is the 11.0.07 patch update for Reader XI. It shows the dialog "choose the copy of Adobe Reader to update" under following scenarios:
1. When it finds more than one copy of Adobe Reader installed on a system. In this case, You need to choose the application that you use, like browse to Applications directory and choose Adobe Reader if that is the location from where you use the application.
2. When the installer didn't find any copy of Adobe Reader installed on a system which it needs to update. In this case, you may install Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07 directly from here get.adobe.com/reader/ from the same machine you intend to use it on.
Please let us know if any of the above suggestion resolved your problem.

Need help opening Photoshop Elements 11; downloaded, but won't open, please help?

I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 an downloaded it, but it will not open. I receive a message that states that I need to 'uninstall' and then to 'reinstall'. How do I do this and where is the software available again to reinstall?
Thank you for your help!

If you are using a PC, then you use the Control Panel interface to uninstall most any software. To reinstall, you should be able to download it from Adobe's site. If you cannot find a link to download it via your account (log in and see) then you could also download and install the trial version and use your serial number from the purchase to activate it.

Plz Help...Downloaded, but won't open to install

Someone PLZ help...
I have downloaded the correct iTunes edition. But when I try to open it, nothing happens. I have deleted my Temp files, cookies, etc..tried using another user profile, downloaded the file once more, downloaded QuickTime(facing same issue with it)...I am getting very discouraged. I just bought an iPod Touch and cannot even use it. Someone PLZ help...

Simply select the download and run it. It is typically a good idea to disable anti-virus during the install.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!
