IBooks will not load Paid Books

All paid books wouldn't open on my MacBook in Mavericks.  Upgrading to Yosemite was no help.  Free books do not have this issue.  Also there are no problems on my iPhone or iPad.  This is only a problem on my Laptop and then only with paid books.  Cannot delete iBooks and re-install because it is part of the OS.  Have signed in and out of iTunes and the iBook site and also reauthorized and re-authorized the computer many times.  Deleted the books and reloading them is also an excercise in futility.  Now what?

Apple was no help.  Problem solved by downloading Kindle and buying all my books from Amazon.com.

  • HT4623 I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store and Safari keeps crashing

    I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
    Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

  • HT4059 iBooks will not load book

    I just purchased a book on the iBooks app and when I tapped on it to read,it would not load.  A notification popped up saying 'Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing.' I'm not sure what that means and don't know how to fix this.  If anyone has any answers please let me know! Thank you!

    Try re-downloading it. First delete it, then download it again. iTunes will prompt you, you have already purchased this item, do you want to download it again?

  • IBooks will not open any books after relocating home folder

    I added an SSD to my MacPro running 10.9. Because my home folder is too large for this disk, I relocated it to a large conventional HD.  Now, iBooks.app will not open any of my ePub or multi-touch eBooks.  PDFs are opened in Adobe Reader, just as before.  I've booted into the Recovery disk and corrected permissions but that didn't help.
    How can I straighten this mess out.  MacOS X will not allow me to delete the iBooks app.

  • 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!

  • HT4059 my book will not load or open

    My ibook will not load a book i purchased. It says "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing".

    I can't believe no one else is having this problem! I can load bookmarks that are backed up, but Safari will not sync the bookmarks. It claims to have successfully synced, but the added bookmaks that appear on .mac are not there. I just don't get it.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

    The only Iceberg app I can find in the app store is a social networking app, not an e-reader. I don't see how you could buy books for it.
    UPDATE: I see that it isn't available in the US app store. To contact the developer find it in your App Store and there will be a link to the developer's support site.

    What model iPod and iOS version do yo have.
    If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • I have a mac book pro with os x 10.5.8.......sometimes will not load google or yahoo, or any other search engine, but will load regular sites.....why is this?

    Check System Preferences - Accounts
    Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
    shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
    It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
    Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

  • IBook G4 will not load OS

    A customer of mine brought in an iBook G4 that will not load the OS. When you start it you hear the chime and see the apple symbol then it goes to a screen that reads:
    launchd: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: Input/output error
    below that is a cursor prompt and it appears that you can enter text commands. I've tried entering in some DOS commands and what little Unix commands that I know but nothing happens.
    I'm assuming that the OS is some form of OS 10 from the launchd and the /bin/sh statement but it could possibly be one of the older OSes.
    The client is a retired teacher and the computer was given to her by the school district when she retired but she was not given any discs with it and they have since upgraded to newer computers and gotten rid of the discs that it would have originally had.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated since I'm not very familiar with Macs.

    Hi frank and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If the iBook is a G4, and it will say so at the bottom of the screen if it is, the earliest OS that it will have come with is 10.3 (Panther). Later G4s had 10.4 (tiger) preinstalled. Of course, schools have their own way of doing things and it might have an earlier OS on it.
    The original disks can be got from Apple Support for approx $60 but you'll need the serial# from under the keyboard. There are two catches on the iBook KB, one beside the esc key and the other next to the F12 ⏏ key. Slide those down simultaneously to release the KB. You may* have to turn the release screw next to the num lock key half a turn. (*Read that as probably as the iBook came from a school )
    WRT to the boot problem refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417. Obviously you'll be ignoring references to booting from the install disk but Safe Boot and fsck are both relevant. Enter the /sbin/fsck -fy at the prompt that you are seeing when you boot. (Note that there's a space between the k & the -fy.
    If you have access to another Mac you can try booting your customer's iBook into Target Disk Mode by holding the 'T' key down at boot, connecting the two Macs with a Firewire cable and running Repair Disk from within the other Mac's Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility. You'll know if it successfully boots into TDM as there'll be a big Firewire symbol on screen.
    Good luck and post back with how things go or if you need any more guidance.

    Hi Email_user_02,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.  I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
    If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account.  If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct.  However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
    Can you please get your details off to me in an email?  Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile.  Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.
    Cheers
