Iphone ibooks book wont download

On my iphone ibooks app I purchased several books and they wont download. It wont let me pause one to let the other one download and i cant delete it. how do i fix this?

Hello Kristen,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased iBooks. I have a couple of suggestions for the issue you described.
First, I recommend the steps for resuming an interrupted download:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

If you are still not able to download the books, I recommend following the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the iBooks app (you can skip the step to download another app from the App Store):

IBooks books "Cannot Download" because "there is not enough available storage to download _______."

Before I begin, here are the details of my particular iPad:
Build Version: 10B329
iOS 6.1.3
16 BG iPad 2 (although it says that the capacity is 13.84 GB)
It has never been damaged nor has it experienced any water damage. It runs very well.
My issue: I am trying to download the ibook entitled Algebra 1 (Common Core Edition by Pearson) from the iBook Store. The ibook itself is only 2.46 GB large. After purchasing and upon downloading, however, I run into an issue. The book cover is placed on my iBooks bookshelf with the "New" ribbon on the upper-right. It then begins to download and, shortly after, I receive the following error message:
Cannot Download
There is not enough available storage to download "Algebra 1". You can manage your storage in Settings.
- Cancel
- Settings
Having had issues with iBooks in the past, I thought this was just another glitch. But, in order to rule out any uncertainty, I checked my storage capacity anyways. On my first download, I am positive I had enough space on my iPad (although I can't remember how much). I had recently freed up my iPad by deleting videos and other apps. After doing all of that, I tapped the cover of the ibook again to initiate the downloading process. With more room, I was certain it would work, but then I received the same error message.
After that, I attempted to redownload the ibook after having tried each of the following techniques:
- Turned off my iPad completely with iBooks still installed
- Turned off my iPad completely with iBooks uninstalled, and then reinstalled it after turning the iPad back on
- Deleting the ibook from iBooks, delete the iBooks app, completely turning off the iPad, and then redownloading everything after turning the iPad back on
- Delete other ibooks
- Transferring all of my bought ibooks to my iTunes on my computer (this technique actually worked for another on of my ibooks, but not for this one...)
- Sign out of my iTunes & App Stores account and then signing back in
- Turning ON the "Books" Automatic Downloads option
The only thing I think I haven't done is restore my iPad... Which I really do not want to do. Having to redownload all of those apps is a painstakingly long process...
Even now I have enough space to download it and it still gives me the same error message. My currect space specs are below:
Storage
4.8 GB Available     9.1 GB Used     (Most of this is from iBooks as you can see)
iBooks               5.7 GB
Japanese          221 MB
Facebook          114 MB
Penultimate       102 MB
etc......
iCloud
Total Storage     5.0 GB
Available           5.0 GB
etc......
I have deleted numerous apps and media on my iPad to make more room. I have read on other Apple Support threads that iDevices need space in order to move files around and such. I think 4.8 GB should be enough for this! Especially for an ibook that's only 2.46 GB large!!! This is really frustrating and I really need this ibook!!!! If someone could give me some other tips and tricks, that would be great. I really don't want to have to restore my iPad though... If it comes down to that, I guess I have no choice.
Another detail I left out is a popup window that comes up just before the error message that reads:
Downloading Item
When this item is finished downloading, it will be available in your library.
- OK
I'm not sure it's related to the issue, but I decided to put it out there anyway so that this problem can be as detailed as possible.
Thanks for all of the support!

I have the same problem. I got an error when downloading an iBook to my iPad, and now it shows up as "gray" in my book list. I'm running iOS 7.1.1 with iBooks version 3.2.
Actually, you don't have the same problem at all. The OP had excessive "Other" taking up space, leaving no space to download additional books.
You seem to be having a problem with a specific file. If I were you, I'd start my own thread with a subject line that describes your issue. You're going to get better answers that way than by piggybacking on an old thread.
Yes, you should still be able to load iBooks by syncing with iTunes. There may be a problem with the file itself. Are you able to add other books? If so, contact the iTunes Store to see if they can help you with this particular book.
Best of luck.

HT1933 My purchased books wont download from the icloud.

I've been having this issue for a while now, but today it just sits there in the middle of a download and won't finish. Why is this happening, and what can I do to get my books to download?

Strangely enough the next day i tried check for purchases again and got through the song that kept getting stuck the day before and the album fully downloaded. The only thing that i have done that might have corrected this problem was turn off my computer then turned it on the next day and did not run any other program while it was downloading, even browsing. so try turning off your computer and turning back on then check for purchases without doing ne thing else.
PS: thanks for letting me know that other people are having this problem as well.

I rented a movie on my Iphone4s and it is taking for ever to download. I was wondering how I can transfer that download to my computer without paying another rental price and then sync to my iphone.

You can't. Movies you rent on your iPhone or iPad can't be transferred back to a computer. Sorry.

I've purchased songs thru iTunes Store and they will not sync to my iPhone 5. They show up as if they are in the cloud but wont download to my iPhone, Why?

So some of my purchased songs from iTunes are not syncing to my iPhone. Is there a setting or format issue? If so, how do I change it? The songs show up on my iPhone as if they synced, but do not play. There is an icon to the right saying it needs to be downloaded from iCloud and when I click it, it wont download.

See this older thread for a few possible solutions.

I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?

Hi..
On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
Make sure Books is turned ON.
You shouldn't need to re purchase the book > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads 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 the Store > View Account menu option 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 song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) 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.

How do you stop a book from downloading in iBooks. It has been downloading for 2 days

How do I stop a book from downloading in iBooks It has been downloading for 2 days

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.
