Ibook will not open and not in library - button says "read" but it's not responsive

I purchased a book and maybe I put in the wrong password, but it does say "read." However, it won't open and nothing responds. It is not on my book shelf. Is there any way to re-purchase it? I see no option for that. So frustrating.

Hi nlroundabout,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you've purchased an iBook, but it won't open and you don't see it on your bookshelf. This does sound frustrating. First, try downloading it again using these steps:
Follow these steps to download purchased books:
Tap iBooks. If you're using iBooks 3.2 or earlier, tap Store.
Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
Tap the book that you want to download.
From:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Additionally, make sure that your iPad is updated to the latest iOS version:

All the best,

PDF opens and works correctly with Windows 8 Reader, but not with Adobe Reader. Why?

Hi,
My sister-in-law has this PDF order form from one of her company's distributors that opens and allows editing of specific fields.
The only application that opens the file correctly (visually and functionally) is the Windows 8 Reader. If I open the file in Adobe Reader or with the Mac viewer things do not line up, fonts are too large, and when editing fields sometimes symbols show up and sometimes way over-sized numbers show up.
This behavior has been observed on both a Windows 8.1 PC as well as on a Mac Book Air.
Can someone please tell me why this is happening? Is there something that needs to be configured differently?
Thanks,
Matt

This is what I see when I open that PDF in Adobe Reader 11.0.07:
Can you tell me which parts are not correct? Obviously the Submit button is a bit strange.

If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

My Ibooks will not open samples anymore

my Ibooks will not longer open samples. before it was not a problem. just started recently . when i click on "sample", it says "downloading" but then when that process ends, I am not able to open the sample.

HT4623 I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store and Safari keeps crashing

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

The Update would not have Installed if it was not suitable for your Device.

The new version of iBooks will not open on my iPad(3gen) after it was installed. Reinstalling makes no difference. It opens then closes right away. Any fix??

Anybody else have this problem?

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I updated to version 5.1 but now IBooks will not open. How do I fix ?

I updated my IPad to version 5.1 and now IBooks will not open. How do I fix the problem

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe.

Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache. [was: Lightroom 5 question]

@Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache.

This is the Photoshop forum however.
Close Lightroom and go to your Lightroom catalog folder.
The default location is usually in Pictures.
Delete the file in the catalog folder which ends Previews.lrdata
Do not touch the catalog itself which ends.lrcat
Then try re-launching Lightroom.

IBook will not sleep with clamshell open -

I have been using this iBook for years with no problems until the system updater updated to 10.4.9 on 4/24/07. Ever since then the iBook will not sleep on its own, I have to shut the clamshell or use the sleep command from the Apple menu.
I have tried disabling all sharing (file printer internet).
I have reset the PMU multiple times.
I have tried several different settings in the energy saver panel.
I have used "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly."
I have verified and repaired permissions.
Here is my console log from today:

Looking back several days seems the "lookupd" hangs up quite often and the Sound assertion always fails.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does this happen when running from the AC adapter or from the battery, or does that not matter?
Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
Recheck the settings in Energy Saver in System Preferences.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps.

TS1702 iBooks will not update, now locked out of it. All books and PDF will be lost if uninstall. Ideas?

Hi Email_user_02,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum. I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account. If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct. However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
Can you please get your details off to me in an email? Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile. Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.
Cheers

I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x. Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications. Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures.

I just downloaded iPhoto 9.5 to replace my old ver. 7.x. Downloaded the library upgraded but have no idea where it installed as it is not listed in Applications. Opened iPhoto added my Library (12.5 GB) but iPhoto shows no pictures. In fact, iPhoto indicates that I have zero photos in the library while at the same time indicating the file size as 12.5 GB.

If your old iPhoto version was iPhoto 7, you need to run the iPhoto Library upgrader: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1523
It will install itself in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
Run it, and after that, you should be able to open your iPhoto Library with iPhoto '11.

IBook will not start up past gray screen w/ apple logo

iBook will not start up past gray screen w/ apple logo. So I have zeroed out the hard drive and reinstalled tiger. No change except if I start up holding shift it will boot and welcome comes up then black screen that says you must restart by holding down power key.
Zeroed out the HD again with same results. Also I have a iBook G3 with the same symptoms.

What you are experiencing is a kernel panic.
Try starting up from the Mac OS X Install Disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key as the startup chime is ending. Then choose Installer > Open Disk Utility (in Panther) or (in Tiger) click 'Next' at the language screen and choose Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with the Install disc's Disk Utility, then try to restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.

IBook will not start up. Can anyone help please?

My iBook will not boot up anymore. It makes the usual startup sound, then goes to a gray screen with the Apple icon. Does anyone know what is wrong? I have all my homework on there. Most of it is backed up on my flash disk, but I have some other things not on my flash disk. When it did work, the computer would freeze every time I would launch Word to complete a homework assignment. The computer has just been acting goofy lately. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks.

I would put in your Mac OS X install disk, restart the iBook and hold down on the "c" key. This should make your computer startup from the install disk. This will open the Mac OS X installer first and may ask you to choose a language. Pick the language you want to use and continue. At the next screen, don't continue to install Mac OS X but choose to open the Disk Utility from the Installer menu. When the Disk Utility is open, select your hard drive on the left-hand side and then choose to "repair disk" from the button on the right-hand side. Is there anything to repair? Is the Disk Utility able to repair it? When you're done, you can simply quit the Disk Utility and then quit the Installer to restart back to your iBook's hard drive.
Hopefully the Disk Utility can repair any trouble it finds. If it can't, you may need to invest in a third party utility like . If it doesn't find anything that needs to be repaired, there may be something else going wrong... Let us know what you find out.

Ibook will not boot PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi,
First the ibook booted then would come up with the kernel error: square box with "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button......
I then booted to single user mode and ran fsck -y which eventually came up with the all clear "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
I then restarted the system which booted to the blue screen with some quirky graphics towards the top. It will now not boot into single user mode, just black screen or multi-coloured stripy screen. When booting from the CD drive the sceen is just blue or black.
Okay, I have connected the ibook via fire wire to a powerbook, and re-booted the ibook in terminal mode which brings up the fire wire connect symbol on screen.
After a while the system stalls showing part of the symbol and the connection is frozen. I have tried to re-install tiger using the powerbook to initiate as the ibook will not. However, it freezes at 50% of install.
I changed the ram to iliminate a ram failure, however... still the same.
While I was in terminal mode I erased the disk using the disk utility from the PB and then ran the install again... still froze.
This looks more serious than I thought. I'm now thinking that it could be the hard drive or worse. I have tried to use the apple support phone # and it does not seem to work, 1800 275 2273.
I'm having some real bad luck here. Any ideas?

I ran the apple hard ware test disc. The quick test found no errors. The extended test freezes up completely. Now I'm really stumed. The logic board came up with know errors.
When the system froze on the extended test. I falsed a re-boot. However the screen went black so I could not run the test again. It seems like a time thing... the ibook can only run for a short period before it freezes. Then it has to shut down for a while before it can run again
