IBooks crashes on install with unkown error an brand new iPad 2

Dear Apple please help me spend more money with you by getting iBooks installed :)
When I tap install on iBooks the iBooks icon appears, and it seems to start downloading, but only for a few seconds, then a popup appears saying helpful like ' unknown error occurred', and the icon goes away, and iBooks is not installed.
I was able to install other apps on my new iPad just fine, and I installed lots of apps including iBooks in an iPad 2 in the office.
I rebooted the iPad, but I did not reset it yet - the only thing I could think off, is that the apple I'd I am using does not have a credit card on file just a gift card, but that should not cause one free app to crash upon download and not others
Anybody else having this problem ?
One of the key reasons we got an iPad for home, is to susbscribe to international magazines on iBooks -

I also received my new iPad 2 today and experienced the same issue
The first thing I did was sync the iPad with iTunes and restored from my iPhone. I'm wondering if that was part of the issue since I couldn't install iBooks on my iPhone either. Both devices were up to date with iOS 4.3.3.
I was getting the same "Unknown error occurred" message on both devices.
I tried what has worked for many - but rebooting the devices did not help.
What did work was downloading the app within iTunes on my Mac and then syncing the devices. This worked for both my iPhone and iPad! Yay!
I give credit to @the_paulus for helping me out and hope this helps anyone else facing this issue.

  • Premiere elements 11 failed to install with the error about shared technologies

    PRE 11 failed to install with the error "The installation process has encountered an error while installing shared technologies. Please restart your system and try again" all that does is uninstall everything and I have to restart agin with the same error and we go on. So far the only way it is working is at the point of the "error message" I run task manager and stop the installer, I know it's leaving files that should be removed by the installer, but it worked. This information was gained on one of the forums and seems to work. Yesterday was the first time I really used it fully and although I was able to create a project I cannot output it as a file (mpg), it starts to output ok then throws up an error and fails. As PRE 10 was still installed I imported the project (which amazed me) into PRE 10 and outputted as required with no error. All this may be due to something being wrongly installed or not being installed in PRE 11, I don't know. Can anybody help

  • Voiceover kit refuses to install with an error 1701

    Updated recently to Mavericks 10.9 and Itunes 11.1.2. I bought a new iPod Shuffle (4th Gen) and the first sync, the voiceover kit failled. I tried restoring the iPod several times; I tried getting rid of the existing VoiceOver file in the Library. The new Voiceover kit still refuses to install with an error 1701.
    It is hard to understand why itunes and mavericks are not comptatible with the ipod shuffle ...

    this is what i said to them
    okay, so im pretty sure that apple is aware of this issue by now.
    The voiceover kit isnt downloading withint itunes on mountain lion or on mavericks it returns a 1701 error like it carnt find the server to download it from.
    SERIOUSLY sort it out,and fast, this is just slack.
    I purposefully bought this new shuffle over my last purely for this feature and guess what, straight out of the box it doesnt work...
    you guys are slipping

    Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

  • Is it posiible to install FCS 3 on a brand new iMac (with topped specs)? It will come with Mavericks and that might be an issue....

    I'm wondering if it is even possible to install the FCS 3 on brand new out-of-the-box Mavericks OS.... I need FCP 7 for my work. I allready installed FInal Cut Studio 3 on my Mavericks MacBook Air, but that OS was an updated one, from the previos version. It works greate (rendering is a nightmare though :-)).
    The thing is that i have read meny post about People unable to Install Finac Cut Studio 3 on a brand new - not updated - Mavericks....
    Will i I be able to install Final Cut Studio 3 on a brand new iMac with Mavericks out-of-the-box?

    Yes,
    I have friends who have FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) running on 10.9 machines from fresh installs.
    Be aware that if you use a third party output device (Kona, Decklink, MXO, etc) you must have the updated drivers as well.
    One friend had such issues with his Blackmagic Intensity card in a MacPro that he went back to an earlier OSX to find stability.

  • Brand new ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 21

    Brand new ipad just out of box starting setting up and now its stuck in recovery mode and keeps giving error 21 - tried turning off firewalls as suggested and another PC... nothing working... is it a complete turkey or is it me?

    Sorry I can't help with your issue. Just wanted to point out that it's not a good idea creating multiple posts on the same topic as it only serves to cause confusion, duplicate answers and divides responses between threads.

  • Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive

    Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
    Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
    Tried installing new RAM.
    Tried installing new hard drive.
    You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
    Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
    Any help appreciated...

    It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.

    would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
    ...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
    I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
    In any case, good luck.

  • How do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2

    how do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2?

    Note: At this time BootCamp doesn't support 3TB drives - this is due to a memory allocation issue with Windows. Check out this article on a/an (unreliable) work around. I say unreliable because some people are reporting success and others failure. At this time if you really need Windows it probably would be better to use virtualization software like Parallels, VMWare, or VirtualBox.

  • Error code 1013 after updating a brand new iPad 3G 16GB

    Hi all,
    I've got my new iPad today and over excited I've attached it to iTunes (v 10.1). It asked me to upgrade to the new OS and I did. After that it gave an error and told me that I had to recover. Now i'm trying to recover it all night and I still get the error message:
    The iPad couldn't be recovered. There has been an unknown error (1013).
    Has anybody seen this error before? And if so, what's the solution. It's a brand new iPad and I haven't got a clue what's wrong.
    Kind Regards,
    Rob

    Hi Graham,
    Yes that should explain it. I've found that article earlier today. The following doesn't solve it off course:
    +Error 23, 28, 29, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue.+
    I have tried connecting on a different USB port, trying a different Windows laptop. I even went to my parents house to attach it to their Mac. Not solved yet. I'm a bit desperate. I've called the Apple Custumer Desk, but they couldn't help me either. They want me to sent my iPad to them and I will get it back in two weeks. But I'm not believing that it is a problem with the hardware...
    any ideas?

    IIRC, you can only download  a maximum file size of 100MB with cellular.

  • Please HELP!! MacBook stuck on "Select your Keyboard" screen after installing Snow Leopard on a brand new hard drive!

    Hello, I just recently replaced my internal hard drive in my MacBook [from a 250gb to a blank/empty 750gb]. I managed to get OS X Snow Leopard installed with the DVD. Setup seems to run fine at first, I get the screen in space with the welcome message different languages while music plays. Then I'm asked to select my country, then here is my problem- the next screen asks me to "Select Your Keyboard", I select & click "Continue" button, then my Mac is just showing the spinning beachball & it stayed that way all night =( I don't know how to fix this. Anyone experience this or have any solutions for me? I'd appreciate any help! Thank you! [I've been googling since yesterday with no luck on finding an answer].

    It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.

  • Serious Issues with brand new iPad 3

    Ok so I was given a brand new iPad 3 as a gift on Sunday.  And since then my life has been stressful!!
    Email: When I click on the email icon up comes a message saying Unable to Move Message, referring to one of the first emails I tried to delete. So, no email program then.
    Music: My windows media files of literally hundreds of ripped CD's will not copy across. The system is not interested and the computer hangs after a few seconds. So no music program then.
    Documents: I don't know how to get literally a decades worth of MS Word docs onto my iPad. The Doc app I downloaded has no instruction page, so I don't even know how to underline a heading (it's called Goodreader). So no document program.
    Calendar: When I tried to sync my outlook calendar instead of syncing it, it wiped it clean and dumped the appointments onto the iPad. This means with no appointments now on Outlook, it has synced with Google Calendar and wiped Google calendar clean and in turn wiped my blackberry clean of a year's worth of appointments. I am royally and truly stuffed now.
    I have run out of patience with this and I really, really need help!!

    My brand new Ipad 2 is not charging the battery with py PC thru USB. Is that normal? When I plug it directly into the wall, it works... Thanks! Sam

    It talks extensively about charging in the user guide, and how USB ports on PCs and older Macs may not provide sufficient power to charge the iPad.  The user guide is available for free from the iBook store (accessed directly via the iPad iBooks app).
    My iPad charges fine when plugged in to the back of my iMac, but I would always prefer to use the mains adaptor to save the strain on my USB circuits (which can wear out if used heavily to power external devices).
