IBooks wont open any books or complete the download

I upgraded to the latest version of iBooks about 2 weeks ago (iBooks 2) since then i have been unable to open any of my books, both downloaded from the bookstore and PDF book stored on the device.
I upgraded to the latest update of iBooks and still no luck. I've tried re-booting the device, un-installing and re-installing iBooks and still not had any luck.
I lost all my PDFs and my purchased books. I downloaded one of my purchased books from iCloud and the download never seems to complete.
Help
PS - How do i get my PDFs back?

Ibooks wont open my book

I bought a book on ibooks and it wont open.
I had no problem reading it a few days ago, but ever since it prompted me to enter my icloud username and password, it doesnt work anymore. VERY ANNOYING. I should have just bought it on amazon and used the kindle app.
I tried deleting and redownloading it, but it keeps asking for my icloud password over and over again.
Please help!

Hi prdannyb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If this is happening with just the one iBook, I would report the issue to the iTunes Store:

If this is happening with multiple purchases, I would try the steps here:

TS1424 I downloaded an album, and the download was interrupted. I went back and completed the download, but several songs did not download completely - they only have about half the song, and then it starts to play the next song. How do I recover the res

I downloaded an album, and the download was interrupted. I went to the Store and completed the download, but several songs now appear as partial copies - they end ~ half way through. Is there any way to complete the download?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Unable to open any books in iBooks after 7 download

Unable to open any books from iBooks app after downloading new 7

Hi, Cargei.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first start with closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test opening a downloaded book in iBooks
iOS: Force an app to close

If the issue persists, try downloading a free iBook and test to see if it opens.
Cheers,

Ibooks won't open any book

I have several Pdfs... default was to open pdfs in acrobat and when I click within ibooks it opens in acrobat. I changed the default app for PDFs from acrobat to iBooks and now it just hangs... it won't open any books at all.
I don't have this issue on iphone opening pdfs in iBooks
any suggestions

If the book won't open then try deleting it from the bookshelf and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and see if you can open that.

Copying/transferring will not work. You need to install the software using installation files.

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 update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

My mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

Safari Wont Open Any Web Page

I just updated my Safari to 3.1.2 and now it wont open any web page. I know my system is fine as I also have Firefox and it works great. I have tried reseting Safari, emptying the cache deleting the plist, but nothing works. I have even tried deleting Safari and downloading the latest version from the apple website and re-installing it. No dice either. Safari seems to be working fine but it wont opent any website. Everything just time's out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

Safari wont open any pages?!?

I just installed safari and it wont open any pages at all. I restarted, reinstalled and nothing. I deleted all files/registry entries for it then installed it again and no changes its just stuck. All other browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, IE 10 & Opera) are working w/o any problems.

Apple stopped supporting Safari for Windows.
Use another browser of your choice.
Best.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

My apps wont open, i already tried turning the power off but still they wont open :(

Try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not help, set it up as new device: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
