IBooks app - must download again after iOS 5 update

This was so frustrating I thought it deserved another posting.
I bought two new books through iBooks store and they appeared to be corrupted.
The failure was very confusing and I thought it was content related.
I deleted the books from the shelf and redownloaded the content from Apple.
Same thing.
I finally reluctantly deleted the iBooks App.. which also deleted all associated data.
Then went to App Store and downloaded the iBooks App again.
Then opened one of the books, everything was fine.
The nature of the error messages that were being reported led me to believe there was a DRM encode/decode error occurring repeatedly between the iBooks App and the book it was trying to render.
Mind you
I had updated to iOS 5 several days ago and nothing odd appeared to happen.
So something must have happened unnoticed or somehow the new iOS5 operating system could no longer work with the iBooks App I had on my iPad2.
This might help a lot of other people having other problems with the iBook App on the iPad2.
Hence why I'm posting this separate from my original question and answer.

I have Ping turned off in iTunes, thus will not appear on my phone. There is no separate app, Ping gets transferred to your phone if turned on in iTunes on your computer.

  • Cannot update or install new apps on iPad 2 after IOS 6 update - Help?

    After the IOS 6 install, 15 of my apps were tagged for updates. When I tap on Update All, or on Update for an individual app nothing happens.  When I tap on Install for a new app, it turns back to Free.
    I've tried the suggestions listed below that I've seen in the various discussions, and none have resolved my problem:
    Re-booting.
    Signing out/in of my Apple ID.
    Setting date a year ahead.
    Updating the apps on my PC and syncing.
    Wi-Fi is working as are the installed apps themselves, including getting content refreshed, e.g., NYTimes app. Any further help much appreciated. I suspect it may take hours to get through to Apple Support. 

    Chris,
    If you're still having this problem - as I am, please call Apple Support so they can log it in.  I spent a lot of time with one of their senior people troubleshooting and at this point the only resolution they can come up with is to do a clean wipe of everything and a new re-install, which is a big undertaking if you have a lot of apps and customizations.
    If Apple has enough calls to prove this is not an incidental problem for only a small % users, they can escalate the problem to engineering for possibly an easier fix.

  • I change my apple id, so I deleted apps and downloaded again so I could update them but keynote and pages are expensive and I don't want to pay again for I pad and 2 laptops. Any suggestions?

    I change my apple ID and password. By doing that I was not able to update apps so I delete then and download them again. But keynote and pages are expensive.
    Is there any suggestions to send those apps to the new apple iD in iPad and 2 MacBooks ?

    Afraid not Hugo...  The apps purchased from one Apple ID account cannnot be transferred to another and accounts cannot be merged.

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • After iOS 5 update, where is Ping in the Music app?

    Hi all. Before the iOS 5 update, when I was listening to a song with my Music app (previously called iPod), when I touched on the display to see the details of the song playing, there were 3 icons: Repeat, Ping and Random.
    The Repeat and Random icons are still there after iOS 5 update, but where is the Ping icon? You know, the one with the "thumb-up" that, once you tapped on it, it turned on blue to say that you liked that song. That icon has disappeared.
    Do you know where is it? Thank you very much. Bye!

    I have Ping turned off in iTunes, thus will not appear on my phone. There is no separate app, Ping gets transferred to your phone if turned on in iTunes on your computer.

  • My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

    My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:       
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My phone 4s won't connect to home network after ios 6 update

    Okay, right after I downloaded the new ios 6 update my phone has been unable to connect to my home wifi. I already did the whole switching my router from WPA to WEP and did the whole forget this network. When I selected my network again, it asked for my password, which I put in correctly. Right after the loading star popped up beside it and thats how it stayed. Can anyone help me out on this? Be much appreciated.

    Reset your iPhone.  Hold Sleep Key and Home Key together for more than 15 sec.  Now try your App Store again.

  • HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

    Hi there fjci2003,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • After ios 8 update ipad began to crash

    after ios 8 update apps been crashing and ipad began rebooting by it self it use to do it when first updated to ios 7 until the bug fix update was sent out what to do

    Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
    After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

  • Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

    My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
    It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
    As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

    I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
    Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
    If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
    I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
    Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?
