IBooks2 iBook will not download

I have purchased the Pearson "Biology" textbook. I can download the "sample" of that book, and of all the other textbooks just fine. I can download the full version of other textbooks just fine. When I try to download the Pearson Biology (from the "purchased" section of the iBook Store) book it shows the progress bar in the book in my library but never progresses.. after some time (and usually some app switching) when I open ibooks again it tells me it could not download "biology" and to ether retry or try again later. I am connected to Wifi not 3g (3g is disabled) Here is what I have done:
iBooks and iPad2 (32gig 3g ATT) is fully up to date, I have uninstalled and reinstalled ibooks...
Rebooted iPad both by using the hold the sleep button till the slider comes out method, and the holding home and sleep button
connected to 2 different wifi networks in two different locations...
disabled and reenabled wifi
I can download apps, other books, other textbooks etc... just not this one...
the only thing I did NOT try is sync the iPad with a computer with the ibook downloaded to it...
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

sync the iPad with a computer with the ibook downloaded to it
That was going to be my suggestion!

IBooks will not download to my ipad. Do you think I should somehow change the settings?

My ibooks will not download

The original author isn't clear whether he means the ibooks app or a purchased iBook. I have purchased an iBook from the iBook store, and while I can download it to my mac, I can't download it to my ipad. You suggest syncing between the two, which sounds reasonable, but how do you do this? iBooks doesn't work like iTunes does.

TS1702 iBooks will not download at this time

It is trying to update, but will not download. It is not paused, and it cannot be deleted. It is shaded--lighter in color, and I can't open it from the home screen, but it will open a PDF from my email, etc. very frustrating. I am working on an iPad 1, which will not update to iOS 6, and the app says that it has updates for iOS 6, but there is no way to get it out of the "stuck" condition. Any suggestions?

IBook will not download even though it says it has already downloaded

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with a couple of iBooks I have recently downloaded. The iTunes store says that these books have downloaded already, however I cannot open them on my iPhone because it says that they are still downloading. Because I downloaded these books about a day ago, they should have completely downloaded on my phone by now; yet, my phone says there has been no progress in downloading the items. I've tried everything, from restarting and restoring my phone, to deleting the file and then redownloading it but nothing is working. I am having this problem with a couple of iBooks, but not ones that I purchased previously. Anyone have any advice? I'd very much enjoy reading books that I bought...
Kind regards,
Song02
P.S. I should mention that I have the latest software for iTunes, iBook, and the iPhone, so I don't believe the problem is due to old software.

Hey Caseyb1tx,
I'd take a look at the following two articles to see if they can resolve the issue you're experiencing:
iTunes: Downloading iTunes for Windows using Internet Explorer
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3212
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
The File Download window will ask you to Run or Save the iTunes file you are downloading, try choosing each option to see if one works over the other - if you Save it, the iTunesSetup.exe file is saved onto your computer, so look where it is saving to and open the file from there to install iTunes.
Have a good one,
David

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!

IBook will not download, iBook will not download

I had this problem last week. I signed out of my Apple ID, signed back in and the iBook then downloaded successfully.

I have bought and ipad first generation and i would like to put my ebooks on how can I do this please the Ibook app will not download on this ipad

I have bought a apple ipad 1st generation and I would like to put my ebooks on how would I do this the ibook app will not download on this ipad many thanks for any help offered

Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
If the ebooks aren't ibooks, then unless they are digital-rights-management free epubs then you probably won't be able to add them to your computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and sync them to your iPad - in they do have DRM on them then does the store that you got them from have their own app in your computer's iTunes ? If they then you could try the above and see if they have an iOS 5 compatible version available.

Did you buy them from the iBooks store?
How are you trying to download them?

TS3274 my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have (ibooks or itunes) I get a blank screen

my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have I just get a blank screen

Try and closing the app (app store in this case) and switch it back on and then download. If it still doesn't work, then give the IPad a rest and try again later.

HT4059 The book I purchased will not download.

I purchased a book from iTunes and it will not download. I get a message confirming my purchase and to tap download. I've followed the directions dozens of times but still no book.

Have you tried deleting the book from the bookshelf and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the iBooks app ? (And for the epub version did you still have the ibook version in the app - that shouldn't have affected it, but there's a small chance.)
If you get the wrong book again then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

IBook will not sleep with clamshell open -

I have been using this iBook for years with no problems until the system updater updated to 10.4.9 on 4/24/07. Ever since then the iBook will not sleep on its own, I have to shut the clamshell or use the sleep command from the Apple menu.
I have tried disabling all sharing (file printer internet).
I have reset the PMU multiple times.
I have tried several different settings in the energy saver panel.
I have used "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly."
I have verified and repaired permissions.
Here is my console log from today:
May 11 05:07:31 ibook kernel[0]: System Sleep

Looking back several days seems the "lookupd" hangs up quite often and the Sound assertion always fails.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does this happen when running from the AC adapter or from the battery, or does that not matter?
Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
Recheck the settings in Energy Saver in System Preferences.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps.
