IBooks keeps asking me to turn on wifi

(wifi-only iPad mini 1st gen, iOS 8.1.3, iBooks 4.1.1)
It wasn't something I noticed right away, as I hadn't used iBooks in a while. But when I open iBooks, I always get a pop-up telling me I need to enable the wifi. That pop-up has always been really annoying even on other apps (I bought the wifi-only iPad for a reason), but now that it's appeared in iBooks, it's the final straw. I'm not interested in using my iPad to buy stuff, or in seeing the New York Times Bestseller List, so I don't want it to be bugging me about the internet every time I want to read something.
Is it possible to disable this?

Try turning Settings > iBooks > Online Content 'off', and Settings > iBooks > Sync Collection and Notes and Sync Collections 'off'.
And in the iBooks app itself tap the collection name at the top middle of the bookshelf, scroll to the bottom of it, and turn 'hide icloud books' 'on', and see if that makes any difference.
(You can also hide all the ibook store tabs so that only the bookshelf shows via Settings > General > Restrictions > iBooks Store 'off')

  • HT204053 My iphone keeps asking me for my ex wifes apple ID password Why?

    When trying to download updates for my apps my iPhone askes me for my ex-wifes apple ID password. She does not and has never used my phone and has her own apple ID associated with a different email adress. my iPhone is asking for password associated with her email address. Why?

    Hi, jvbay. 
    The usual cause of this would be Apps or media was purchased by that Apple ID and synced with your computer at some point.  You can verify this by following the section labeled Authorize using the correct account name in the article below.  Use the Apps requiring update on your phone for reference with Apps in your iTunes library.  Once located, the best option would be to delete the Apps purchased under her Apple ID and download them with yours.

  • IBooks keeps asking for password

    Every time I open iBooks the edit button is spining and I'm prompted for my password.  I go to iTunes and nothing is downloading. This happens every single time I open iBooks and it's incredibly frustrating.  It's as if it has to check the server to fill in my purchased books.  This only started happening after upgrading to iOS 6. 
    What's up?

    Ok so I finally figured out how to this issue and thought I'd share:
    1. You will need to access iTunes on either a pc or mac.
    2. Log into the iTunes Store using the same appleid you use on the iOS device your having the problem with.
    3. After logging into the store, click on your user ID and click 'account'
    4. You will see your account information. There should also be a banner at the top saying " You have X purchases not yet downloaded"
    5. Click the download button, let iTunes download the items and then the password prompt will disappear.
    In my scenarios it was an album booklet that my iPhone and iPad couldn't download that was causing the login prompt to keep appearing.
    Hope this helps someone out

  • Why does iBooks keep asking for apple ID password?

    For a few days whenever I start up iBooks on my iPad, it asks me to log in with my Apple ID. I can say 'cancel' and going on reading without problems; I can also give my Apple ID password and everything will behave the same way (I see no difference).
    I have seen the discussion thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20897580#20897580 and I tried to follow what was described there, but it did not worl. I get no warning on 'purchases not yet downloaded'

    That thread helped me. I am using the latest (11.1.1) version of iTunes.
    Went to Store > View Account
    Right at the top of the page, and I mean the top (right around the Account Information title) was a message proclaiming downloads pending download. I clicked it and then the notification went away and so did the message on my iPad.
    Bit long winded there but I'm just happy to have that popup gone! Best of luck!

  • IBooks keeps asking for iTunes password

    Everytime I start reading a book, a little popup window asks for my iTunes passport.
    It's annoying.
    It didn't do that in the beginning.
    Any way to stop that.

    On your pc go to itunes then to store and select download available downloads.
    That should fix it if not then post it

    All purchases are associated to the ID that was used to download/purchase it. There is no way around it, it is due to copyright DMCA laws. You will have to login in with her ID or delete it and re download it with yours. Sorry.

  • Had wifi now it keep asking me to put password in when i start my ipad

    When i turn my ipad off then on it keeps asking me to join a wifi which i already had but now i lose it everytime i turn my ipad off then on again.

    If you are using an AOL account it would be something on AOL's end, can look at this article for a workaround though.

    Hello simon1982 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with your Wi-Fi® on your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone.
    To clarify, when you go to place a check in Wi-Fi, you get the error Unable to turn on Wi-Fi? Is that the full error or is there more to it? 
    Does your device happen to be active on a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server? Or was it active on a BES at one point? 
    Thanks!

  • Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling but new owner can't log into apple keeps asking for old( mine) Apple id

    Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling
    New owner can't sign into his Apple ID keeps asking for old (mine) Apple ID
    Thought would have erased with resetting iPad

    Hello, your iPad is 'Activation Locked' as a part of 'Find My iPad'.
    Log onto www.icloud.com, go to 'Find My iPhone'. Then select 'All Devices', your old iPad will probably show here, select 'Remove from Account'.
    If there is no option to 'Remove from Account' ask the current owner to switch iPad off for a while, and remove from account should show in 5 minutes or so.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

    1.  If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
    2.  If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network?  Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)?  If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem.  Genius bar would be the next step.
