MBP won't load purchased books in iBooks Mavericks

Downloads start but fail before completing. The error message I get is "To try again, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu."
I tried that and get "All updates and purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."
Any ideas how to fix this?

the iBooks 1.01 update did not fix it on my side - sorry

Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

IPhoto[v 9.5.1] on MBP won't load photos from iPod touch Gen4 32GB, even if let run overnight

iPhoto [v 9.5.1] on MBP won't load photos from iPod touch Gen4 32GB, even if let run overnight and don't let machine go to sleep.
MBP has 8GB Ram and separate video card using 2.3 Ghx i7 processor ... so i don't think it is a hardware issue.

Hello A_MadDog,
It sounds like you are not able to import photos from your Camera Roll on your iPod touch. I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you described:

HT201272 Will not download purchased book from iBooks???

will not download purchased book from iBooks???

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!

I have an iPad and cannot access purchased books on iBook

Can I

Hello kjgh,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased books in iBooks. For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPad:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPad:
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.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Tried to install OSX Mavericks now MBP won't load

Hi all
Last night I tried to install OSX Mavericks on my MBP mid-2010 running Mountain Lion. It downloaded fine and then seemed to install fine. When the message came up saying it was going to restart automatically the spinning wheel hanged, which was the first problem. I switched off the MBP and turned it on again. It now refuses to boot up and stays on the Apple bootup screen with the spinning wheel.
I've tried to restart in recovery mode but this doesn't seem to work. It just goes back to the spinning wheel and there is no progress bar that pops up to indicate the recovery data is being downloaded from the net (I don't have a recovery partition).
I have a backup external hard drive that I can use to restore my MBP and then try upgrading again, but I can't use that until I get into recovery mode.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks

Ok so I worked out how to get into recovery mode. Turns out I was doing it wrong! I used an external USB drive to access recovery mode.
I ran disk utility which identified and fixed some errors on the HD. I thought this might solve the problem but when I restarted the same problem occurred. I then restored my time machine backup which thankfully worked.
I tried installing mavericks again! Upon restarting and completing the install, I got the message 'OSX has been installed. Your computer will now restart'. After the countdown had finished I got the beach ball which span eternally again, just like last time. After about 10 mins I did a hard reset and again OSX won't load.
Lame...

I can't opened a purchased book in iBook

I can't open a purchased book in my iBook! Both on my iPad and iPhone. There's the iCloud icon and when I select it, it looks like it's going to open, but nothing! Help!

The Cloud icon means it needs to be downloaded. You could try a hard reset ie hold the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider).

Why can I download samples, but am unable to purchase books from ibooks on my ipad?

I recently encountered problems downloading and shopping for books at ibooks. I am able to download samples of books, but when I attempt to purchase them, I am unable to. I've rechecked my apple account information, and the credit card I'm using is up to date and listed. More recently, when I visit the ibooks store, no book titles are visible. Any suggestions?

Hey Aggiesmommy 91,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues downloading purchased iBooks. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this so you can enjoy those purchases.
First, try forcing the iBooks application to close:

If the issue persists, try restarting your iPad:

Purchased Books in iBooks?

Is it possible yet to delete -permanently- a book from the list of "Purchased Books" on an iPad 2?

Via your computer's Tunes - click on the HT4919 link in my above post.
If your iPad is on iOS 7 you might need to log out and back into your account on it after hiding them for them to be hidden in Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app - I've been needing to that after hiding apps (though I haven't hid any for a couple of weeks).

Ipod works great except it won't add purchased books from Itunes

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes purchased books. Can anyone help me with that?

Make sure your iPod is configured to sync these books from under its Book's configuration tab in iTunes. To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should bring you to the Summary tab. Locate the Books tab along the top and click on it. Under this tab configure your iPod to sync your books however you like.
