Ibook title shows up on iPad but won't open

hi - trying to troubleshoot my husband's Ipad problem as a Valentine's Day present.   He has ordered ibooks and they appear and open on his iphone and macbook pro, but his ipad, the titles show up but they won't open.   Any ideas?

There are two more things that I would recommend but first I should ask - is iBooks - the app itself - functioning properly? Can you open other books in the app with success?
You can delete the books and then download them again for free - using the same Apple ID that you bought the books with.
You can reset the iPad as well and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. The iPad will start up again but it may take a couple of minutes. this "clears" the iPad completely for lack of a better description.
The iPad user guide is available as a free book in the iBooks Store and it is quite helpful. Do a search for "iPad User Guide for iOS 5" and you will find it.
Here is the pdf version of the guide.

  • Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open

    I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
    Thanks

    I opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3).  Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened.  It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.

  • Podcasts show up as on ipad, but won't open on ipad

    When I sync my ipad, my podcasts show up in my library, and on the computer as being on the ipad, however when I go to the ipad, the icons are there, but when I tap them, they won't open.

    Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Quit the Music App and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Firefox shows in task manager, but won't open

    Firefox doesn't open, though it opens once in a while. It shows in task manager and takes up 50% CPU usage, and ending process and retrying doesn't work. Profile manager doesn't open either. There's no error message, and have restarted laptop (Windows XP) many times, but no results.
    Help would be appreciated!

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Apps show in mission control but won't open after it has gone to screen saver

    I have three desk tops open on Mission Control, plus dash board. If I leave the computer and come back later and go to the desk top there is nothing there. When I click on the app it shows it is open, but just flashes and then it is gone. I have set the app, under options, to be on a particular desktop. I have to close out the app and reopen it to see it.

    Disable screen saver. Restart.

  • ITunes shows up as installed but won't open showing message Apple Push Service.dll not found

    iTunes shows "installed" yet will not open up when I click on icon, showing message Apple Push Service.dll not found

    If you definitely have a working QuickTime but iTunes thinks that you7 do not, then this points to a particular type of error.
    Do you have a computer that has been set up for a work network? You may find that iTunes works OK when the computer is connected to the network but doesn't at home when not connected.
    There are other possibilities, but this is a common one.
    If I have guessed right, the problem lies in the %path% environment variable. In order to look at its contents, could you do the following:
    Type:
    cmd
    into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
    The black cmd window will open.
    Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
    echo %path% >documents\path.txt
    This will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
    Could you copy&paste this text file into your next post so I can look at it.
    (Use ctrl V to paste into the editor, right click doesn't work.)

  • 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.

  • New pages won't open on iPad; new pages shows installed on air book but won't open. Related?

    new pages program won't open iPad cloud documents without crashing--work around is to not open any documents in clouds, but it saves to clouds anyway; however, new pages program shows installed on air book but won't open new pages documents created on ipad without message "need to install a newer version of pages", which I have done. Are these two problems related?

    Double tap Home button and delete Pages from multitask-bar.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    Try again with Pages.
    If no joy, delete Pages and redownload again.

  • My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

    My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on.  My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

    I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
    To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
    Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
    Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
    Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
    Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
    Best of luck,
    Kyle

  • Please someone help. When I tap Purchased on the ipad, it won't open to show me my purchases. It just says loading, but never does!

    Please help! When I tap Purchased on my ipad, it won't open to show me the purchased apps. It says 'Loading' but never does. I use the apps to help my daughter who has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thank you in advance 

    Hi, I was having the same problem on my new Mini.  It would load fine on my iP3 and my phone but not my mini.  My two daughters both have iPads linked to my iTunes account.  They download a bunch of apps and I suspected this had something to do with it.
    After a few hours, I found how to hide the purchased apps in iTunes (go to Store, App Store (up the top) then the Apps tab.  Hover the mouse until you get an X then click on it.  It doesn't delete it from your library, just stops it showing up on your iPad.  I did this, launched Purchased on my iPad mini and boom they all came up.  I just hid those I don't use/want any more, and some of the older ones my kids have purchased.  Cut the number down from nearly 500 to 280 and it loads like a charm now.
