IBooks request to "redownload purchased books" doesn't work!

I got quite a few free iBooks and many downloaded just fine. However, I still have quite a few showing purchased but needing to be "redownloaded". Beside the name of the book there is even a place to click to do this but it never works... I just keep running circles between "redownloaded" and the message "This book has been purchased and to go to purchases and click on "redownload". I am going crazy!!

Hi There:
Trying to convert 58 page PDF to word - Purchased Adobe $26 to do so.
Apparently you have to wait 24 hours, should be up now but isn't.
Thank you

Upgraded to os7 and done my updates on the apps as they appear.. Any function to do with the iBook store is not working or visible. The purchase at the end of a sample book doesn't work either.

Address book doesn't work

I recently discovered that my Address Book doesn't work at all. I upgraded to Lion and everything was working fine. I imported old Vcards. Updated thing s and it was all running smoothly until a couple of weeks ago. No new updates , nothing. It just quit working.
No importing, no contacts, nothing. I have tried deleting the preferences. I have tried reinstalling. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I had it synced with Google. I didn't have it synced with Google. I had it synced with icloud. I didn't have it synced with icloud. I have tried every combination I can think of and now I am at the end of my rope.
Is anyone else having this problem? I noticed on the web that a lot of people are having trouble with this, but haven't been able to fix it and Apple has been of no help. Does anyone have any ideas? My default is just to move everything to google and stop using mac products altoghether.
Thanks
Michael

Hey Barney,
What I meant by, "It just quit working", is that after I upgraded to Lion I had to switch from Entourage to Mac mail products, unless i wanted to shell out a few hundred dollars to Microsoft. Since I purchased iWork I was trying to avoid that and starting to use more Apple products.
I transferred all of my contacts into Address book and then exported everything to v-cards as a backup. For weeks everything was fine. I created new contacts. Imported some contacts from another computer. I even transferred some contacts from a Blackberry out to v-cards and imported them. Everything was going along just fine. I could add, edit, see everything.
Then, about a week ago, my wife asked for some info that I know I directly input into her address book (we share a computer, but she is her own user). I went over to her side, opened up her Address book and nothing was there. No contacts. I couldn't import anything. I couldn't add a new contact. Nothing. The program just didn't work. I went to my side to see what was up. Same thing.
I have now spent the last week trying to figure out how to fix it. I first got rid of the preferences (moved them to another folder and restarted the program). Nothing. I deleted the .abcddb file and restarted. Nothing. I even tried to reinstall from my original Leaopard disk, but could not access the Address book from the install disk by itself.
I've searched the internet for answers. Nothing. It's the oddest thing. All of my "contacts" as far as email goes work. I type and they come up, but if I open the Address book all I see are blank pages and the program itself seems to not be able to do anything. Can't import, there's nothing to export, can't add a contact or edit.
Ever since the upgrade to Lion I've had nothing but trouble with my computer at every turn. I probably just should have paid for the upgrades to all my Microsoft products and left the Apple ones alone.
Thanks for listening. if you think of anything or hear of anythong let me know.

Can I get refund for in-app purchase that doesn't work?

I bought a "no ads" in-app purchase for a game. At first the ads were removed. After a few software updates, the ads come back.
When I asked for a refund, apple refers me to the developer's web site. When I go to the web site, there is no way to ask for support.
Have you ever paid for an in-app purchase that doesn't work? What is the recourse?

If you haven't gotten a refund from iTunes Store before, you might be able to. Get in contact with support to see:

My Address book doesn't work!

Dear Community, it's my first time I write here and I'm italian, so I don't speak English very well... I'm sorry if in this post there are some error...
The problem is simple:
My address book doesn't work. If I click on its icon on dock, it "jump" for 2 times and stop... a message inform that it doesn't work.
Anyway I can access to my contact with dashboard and Spotlight.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Log back in to your regular user account. Quit Address Book. Go you /Users/you/Library/Preferences and find these two files:
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Move them out to the Desktop. Does Address Book launch now?

Ibooks will not download purchased books from cloud on iPad

I have an iPad 1 and I have recently downloaded version 5.01 onto it but in the process all my music and books were gone. I was able to retrieve all of my music but whenever I try to redownload the books I have already purchased in the ibooks store it begins downloading then stops right when it is almost over. I have tried going to cloud also but this does the same thing. Please help!

I Just figured this out. I had downloaded a bunch of books on my iPhone and had the greyed-out issue on my iPad with sync collections enabled. Had tried all the same fixes as indicated in this thread and others without success. What worked was restarting my iPad (this may not be a necessary stage) and searching for the titles that were stuck In the iBooks store. As expected each showed an 'in progress' download button. I was finally able to tap this to stop the (non-existent) download, which hadn't been possible within 'My Books' or the 'Purchased' tab on the store. When I tapped the button briefly jumped to 'Read' then changed to the standard iCloud download button for a previous purchase. Tapping this successfully initiated the download, which then synced into the right collection in my library.
Hope it works for you!

Purchased song doesn't work

I just bought the new Linkin Park album but one of the songs doesn't work when I choose to play it. It doesn't load up to play, doesn't show the album artwork, and never starts to play. Plus when I listened to the album all the way through, track by track, it just skipped that track and moved to the next one. What do I do?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Do you mean that you can't download it or that you've downloaded them but the tracks don't play ?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Mail and Address Book doesn't work together!!!

Since I converted addresses from Filemaker 7 to Address Book, the automatic fill in, in Mail doesn't work anymore.
The option: "fill in address automaticly" is active in the preference menu in Mail.
The problem feels not consequent, this means; some of the addresses are shown up in mail, others don't. I cannot find out where to search for the problem.
Who knows which file I can delete or any other solutions?????

You can check by dragging ~(YourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop. Then relaunch AddressBook.
You could do the same with "com.apple.Mail.plist" but it contains all email account settings and general mail preferences, so you will have to set up your account info again.
Also you might try deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook.

Lightroom 5.2 eMail address book doesn't work

Being sorry really doesn't help. I'm running Windows 64bit and the address book function for eMail doesn't work. I installed 5.3 beta - no help!
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Well, SVHudson, what did you expect to get from your first post? There was no information at all, not even a question. We are not mind readers here.
Why didn't you start with the information you are providing now, which, even though it is still not complete, at least gives a hint of what your problem is?

Find in Address book doesn't work - always says 5 matches, never shows any

The contacts in my 10.6.2 install were migrated over from a 10.4.11 install on a PPC Mini. If I open Address Book and enter anything (real or nonsense) into the search bar, the number at the bottom of the window changes from "X cards" to "5 of X cards". It doesn't matter what the search term is, it always "finds" 5 matches, but the card shown doesn't change (and is not a match for the search term) and the list of cards doesn't reduce. On Tiger, as each character is entered, the list of cards diminishes to only contain valid matches.
How can this be happening? Has anybody else encountered this "quirk", and if so, what's the solution?
Roll on 10.6.3...

Quit Address Book and go into your Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Open Address Book and it should recreate the index. See if that makes a difference.

Dragging invitee to iCal from address book doesn't work

In Snow Leopard I would drag invitees to an event from Address Book and it would begin checking their availability. Now when I drag an invitee, the red bubble with the number of contacts I'm dragging over appears, but the invitees don't actually make it over.

Buy Book doesn't work in iPhoto 6

I have completed a Photo Book. However, pressing Buy Book does nothing at all. I have bought Apple iPhoto books before without any problems. One-click ordering is enabled for my account in the Apple Store (heard this as one possible solution) and I have deleted the old iPhoto preference file in case this was corrupted. Still no luck. Any help welcomed.

In Safari 6 with Developer Tools on go to 'Develop' in the menu bar and click 'Show Error Console' or use the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-C.
I am still working on how to get that to show up using the Inspector interface.

Address Book Doesn't Work in Snow Leopard

I recently downloaded Snow Leopard, and now my Address Book won't open. I'll click on the icon and this message pops up: "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address Book 4.1.2." I can still access all my contacts via Mail, but I cannot add or delete contacts. What should I do?

I'm not sure what you mean by you "downloaded Snow Leopard" as it cannot be downloaded. I'm guessing you mean that you installed it, or you downloaded and installed an update for it.
If you moved the original application out of the Applications folder, it will not get updated when you run the upgrade/install. Make sure it is in the Address Book. A couple things to try:
1) Try installing 10.6 again.
2) Download the 10.6.3 combo updater and install it--Make sure Address Book is still in the Applications folder when you install it.
