IBooks sit in "waiting" state after sync

I have synced my device with my computer and all of my iBooks sit in a "waiting" state and will not sync with my computer.
I have restored the iPad to factory defaults, reloaded and still the same issue.
I am signed in with the same account that has the iBooks.
any ideas why?

OK. You said that you synced the books - or at least that's what I took from your post. Did you download these to the iPad?
Really the more information that you post, the easier it might be to suggest some things but for now you can try these basic boilerplate things that I suggest. It now sounds like you were downloading theses books and something went wrong, but I'm still assuming here,
Swipe across the progress bar and see if you can bring up the delete button. If you can, delete the book and download it again. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same ID that you bought it with.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download them again or see if the downloads will resume.

Message in WAIT state after DELAY_TIMESTAMP is in the past

The queue's view DELAY_TIMESTAMP column appears to have the correct time, but when compared to SYSTIMESTAMP, there's an unexpected five hour difference. After the message should have gone to the READY state, it is still in the WAIT state.
For example, a message is enqueued using DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE with delay of 60 seconds. I wait till well after the message should be dequeued. The message is still in the queue despite attempting to dequeue it with DBMS_AQ.DEQUEUE. Here is what the query looks like.
select delay_timestamp, systimestamp , delay_timestamp - systimestamp
from AQ$THE_QUEUE;
DELAY_TIMESTAMP = 7/1/2009 8:23:05.769546 PM
SYSTIMESTAMP = 7/1/2009 9:06:23.944861 PM +00:00
DELAY_TIMESTAMP-SYSTIMESTAMP +00 04:16:41.824685
The difference should be negative because the time should have expired. However, it's positive, 5 hours less the time since it was enqueued.
This code worked fine until it was re-installed as part of dropping and creating the Oracle user. It works fine on Oracle XE and other Oracle EE databases. The problem is consistent with some change having been done either in Oracle or the Unix operating system. I don't have control over those systems and the administrator says nothing changed. Oracle has been stopped and started since the problem was noticed. The queue table was then dropped and recreated.
Do you have any idea as to what could cause the difference? It looks like a difference between GMT and CDT time zones. It may be related to the session time zone, but when I set my session time zone to +00:00 to match the server, it becomes a one-hour difference instead of a five-hour difference.
It is Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4.0.
Thank you...

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the five hour difference seems too coincidental. An offset in seconds is supplied to ENQUEUE, not a date, but I suppose AQ could calculate a due date based on the session timezone, but why? I'd think session time zone would be for display purposes. The fact that it's behavior changed without changes to the client environments (both JCBC java clients and PL/SQL clients on different machines) with identical PL/SQL code suggests AQ is responding to some kind of server parameter, either Oracle or Unix. I just don't know what.

Applications in waiting state after iOS 5 update

At least 10 of my applications are sitting there saying 'Waiting'. I have done the complete upgrade process, waited for it to update apps etc. I have even run the updates from the AppStore on the phone.
Can anyone advise on what to do - I can't use these apps because they are non responsive whilst in the 'Waiting' state.

Mine did that as well, so I finally unplugged from computer. Then plugged back in and iTunes said it had discovered an iPhone in recovery mode did I want to restore from backup. I of course chose yes and it restored then updated right to iOS5. Hope it works for you like it did me.

Depends On Resource stay in Waiting state after reconciliation

Hi,
I've come up with the following issue (which i though was handled ootb).
I have resource A which depends on resource B.
On user creation 1 access policy trigger provisioning of resource A. At the end of the creation, resource A is in waiting state.
Then we reconcile resource B account which appear in provisioned/enabled state in OIM. But resource A stay in waiting state.
If i revoke and re assign resource A access policy role, provisioning is fired.
Is there a way to have reconciliated resource fire provisioning for dependent resource ?
We are running on OIM11gR1 BP05.
Ps : i've found this topic about the subject but it's on an older version of OIM. I haven't been able to found anything relevant in patch notes
OIM - Issue with "Depends On" Objects
Thanks in advance!

Got some responses from oracle support on this issue.
They said that it was working as intended. Anyone already faced similar issues ? What step have you implemented to make it works?
Thanks!

Cannot view nano ipod stats after sync.

How can I view nano ipod in itunes after sync? It goes right to eject.

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

IBooks app not refreshing shelf after sync ( iOS 8 )

On the prior version, iOS 7, I'd sync my ibooks with itunes. And with the iPad connected to the computer, I'd see the iBook appear on the shelf. With the new version I need not to just close the iBooks app, but to close it with double Home button click and kill the app.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply King_Penguin
Re your first point - 'Sync collections' was ticked in both the iPad and Mac versions of iBooks prior to these problems occurring.
Why have recently purchased or installed books been moved to iCloud and moved off my iPad and iMac when previously they were there in my iBooks library collections? They were books I'd read or were in the process of reading.
More confusing is that on my Mac in iBooks there are books that are fully downloaded and not in iCloud yet the same books in iBooks on the iPad are not downloaded and are in iCloud. After I sync this hasn't changed. To my mind this means that sync isn't working properly or that maybe iCloud has somehow been activated on one device and not on the other?
Why should I have to re-download books that were already present in my iBooks library on Mac and iPad prior to my upgrades to Yosemite, iOS 8 and the iBooks apps?
I have to reiterate that I do not and will not use iCloud and for 2 reasons: it is not secure and Apple uses push marketing to make it difficult for you to not use it.

IBooks always shows update flag after syncing with mac

Hi,
I'm running OSX Mavericks on the Mac and iOS 8.1.1 on the iPad.I don't use iCloud and I backup the ipad over my mac via iTunes.
Each time I sync via iTunes and, after that, I start iBooks on the ipad, many books are shown with the update flag. In the attached image, you can see that there are 23 publications needing an update, but it's not true because they are already up to date.
I tried to update them on the iPad then I did a backup but, after the resync, they were asking an update... again.
iBooks on mac displays the same books as the ipad but without the update-needed flag.
Books on both ipad and mac are perfectly accessible.
Any suggestion?

The itunes content will be erased from the iphone when you sync to another computer.
Iphone can sync to ONE computer at a time.
Did you not maintain a back up of your music?
If you have at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, you should get the option to merge the data.

Bookmarks have reverted to previous state after sync message "encountered an error while syncing: unknown error." Is there some way I can recover my most recent bookmarks inclusive of changes recently made? I haven't exported/backed up recently, FYI.

firefox 6.0.2

You can try to restore the bookmarks from one of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

After trying to update iBook application stays in waiting state

After Update iBook app, stays in waiting state . Will not open or able to delete.

Try this first ...tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
If that didn't work, try this ....Reboot 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.

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

HT1386 I cannot get apps I purchased now sitting on my pc onto my iphone. They were there before I upgraded to 6.0.1. I backed them up on my pc and I can see the apps are all there. But after syncing they still don't appear on my phone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

IOS 8.3 iPad iBook delete books from library right after syncing

Hi,
I recently updated to iOS 8.3 and iTunes 12.1.2.27, after the update i found a strange problem started to occur on my iPad.
After syncing to iPad as usual, when I open iBook app, the books show up for a brief moment and then they start to disappear bunch by bunch until there only around one-third of all my books that I just synced left in the library. I've tried to go to iBook setting and try changing every setting, log out from iCloud on my iPad and reauthorise my MacBook in Mac iBook app. I've synced my iPad for more than a dozen times each time with different setting on iPad and option on iTunes, reset all settings on iPad, etc., nothing seems to fix the problem.
I use my iPad mostly for reading and this is really frustrating. Anyone having the same problem after the update?

Hello iZen.J,
If I understand correctly your books are unexpectedly being removed from your iPad when you sync the device to your computer despite resyncing the content, changing sync settings, and resetting all the settings on your iPad. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and your computer then test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why does iBooks remove books after sync/download?

After the 8.3 upgrade. I noticed on my ipad 2 that ibooks removes books - certain books after the sync/download completes. I snap a photo of the library after the sync completed. And you could see the books being removed one by one just after ibooks started. during the removing, I was not able to open any of the books. If I tried, ibooks would crash. Why is this happening?

How did you do the update to iOS 8.3 ? If via your computer's iTunes then the update process will take a backup, install iOS 8.3, and then restore to the backup. But as none of your iTunes downloads are included in a backup (nor any epubs/PDFs that you've added to the iBooks app, or your music in the Music app), the restore looks to copy them back from your iTunes library - so if those books weren't in the Books part of your iTunes library (or iBooks app if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it) you might briefly see their covers in the iBooks app before it refreshes and displays the books that the restore was able to put back.
