IBooks problem on my iPad 4

Hi
I downloaded iBooks for my iPad4, and I think initially it showed a empty wooden shelves. Then when I bought two books through ITumes I began having trouble: When I open iBooks it only shows a blank white page. The two books are on my PC, but I seemingly can't download them. Or, they are on the iPad but iBooks doesn't see them. I say that because when in iTunes if I got into "devices", at the bottom of the screen there's a coloured bar that lists what's on the iPad. It says two books are there. So what's going on?

Force quit/close iBooks completely and then reset your iPad. No data will be affected or lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Problem installing iBooks on the original iPad

    Hi!
    I have three apple products in the house: an old original iPad, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5s.
    The original iPad is on iOS 5.1.1 - there is no support of a newer version of iOS for this product. I was particularly using this device for  reading, with tons of books loaded in iBooks.
    Yesterday the device (itself) decided to update the iBooks app but was stuck in the middle. I had to delete the app and tried to reinstall it anew from the AppStore. However the version currently available at the AppStore won't install, telling that I need to update to iOS 7 (which is not available for this device).
    Is there a way to install an older version of iBooks on the original iPad?
    Thank you.

    Yes, there is a way to download iBooks to your original iPad.  Last October, Apple quietly came up with a way.  Follow these simple steps.
    Open iTunes on your computer
    Go to the App Store and download iBooks to your iTunes librarry
    No, go to your iPad.  Tap the purchased tab in the App Store
    You should see iBooks with a cloud icon next to it
    Tap the cloud and you will be given the option of downloading a version for a lower iOS version

  • I cannot see my Hotmail saved messages on my iPad 4.  I do not have this problem on my iPad 2.  All settings look identical.

    I cannot see my Hotmail saved messages onmy iPad 4.  I do not have this problem on my iPad 2.  The settings appear identical.Any suggestions to cure the problem?  Thank you.

    My iPad 2 does exactly the same thing. But I just have to go on to my wifi options and you can either forget this network and then press it again or you can turn wifi off and on again and press that wifi.

  • I need help with an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2

    I’m having an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2     Model:  MC774C/A;  IOS VERSION: 6.1.3 (10B329). 
    While I use 4 email accounts on the iPad -- Hotmail, Gmail, iCloud and ns.sympatico.ca ( a division of BellAliant) – the sending difficulty only relates to the ns.sympatico.ca.  The settings for this account are:         pop.bellaliant.net            and      smtp.bellaliant.net
    I first noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago while travelling across the country (Canada).  (I do recall about that time there was an update of my IOS and I also for my wife purchased from the Bell store an iPhone which shares my Apple account.)  Prior to that everything worked well for a couple of years.
    I noticed earlier this month that the iPad received mail fine but would not send at night using the motels’ WiFi.  During the day, using my 3G account, all worked fine.  I phoned Bell but was told that my experience was normal so I thought no more about it until I returned home and found the same problem at the house.  I called Bell again and worked for 2 hours with 3 Bell technicians who succeeded in getting the iPad to neither send nor receive and gave up advising me to take the iPad into a Bell store to have it looked at.  I did that and the young technician got the iPad sending and receiving by changing the        smtp.bellaliant.net      to         mail.1xbell.ca
    However, when I returned home again, I realized that it was working on my 3G and still doesn’t send on my WiFi
    I’m looking for any suggestions that might solve this annoying problem?

    Try this first - 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.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
    iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I continue to be unable to access any of my iBooks on my new iPad 2, even though I've updated to iOS 8.1.2. Any thoughts?

    I upgraded to an ipad 2 around the same time as I upgraded to iOS 8.1, and I haven't been able to access any of my iBooks from my previous ipad. They are present in my iTunes. They all appear in my ipad's iBook app, but they're all grayed out. I have tried to reload them from iTunes to no avail. I've tried to reload them on the ipad via the iTunes store, but they give an eternal "downloading" message and never actually download. I've tried removing the books to see if I could repurchase them, but I can't do that. All of my books are stuck in an eternal stasis. I tried to call the help line -- they walked me so far back through the basic steps that I'd already tried that I ran out of time, and I've been unable to reconnect with them to solve my open case. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I thought it was a bug that they'd likely fix, but the last iOS update only fixed the ringtone bug (that sounds similar to what's going on with my iBooks). Can anyone help?

    I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
    Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above)

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • Had a problem with my iPad 2 and took it into apple store to get it restored to factory settings. I now need to restore from iTunes but can't see my iPad when connected via USB, any ideas please?

    Help !! I had a problem with my iPad 2 this morning which resulted in me taking into the apple store and them restoring it to factory settings. They advised me to restore all my apps etc from iTunes which I am trying to do, however once connected via the USB I cannot see it as a device on iTunes, and I keep getting the message on my laptop "the iPad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later, go to iTunes.com/uk and download the latest version"
    I cannot see what the version of iTunes is on my iPad and have gone into safari to try and download but not able to as it tells me iTunes is already loaded. I have the latest version on my laptop  so I am stuck as to what to do next.  Any suggestions please??
