Purchased a book but won't let me download it. Any ideas?

I have purchased a book from library but won't let me download it. I have done this with other books and it worked fine. Any ideas

What do you mean by "it won't let me," exactly? What happens when you try? Any error messages? How much free space do you have on the device?

Trying to set up new phone with iCloud. My backup shows up but not in bold so it won't let me select it. Any ideas??

Trying to set up my new iphone. Saved my info from iCloud and when I try to download on the 5c it is not in Bold so it won't let me select it but it does show my backup at 4:09. Any ideas??

Make sure your 5c is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up. If it isn't you cannot restore the backup until you update the phone. Then make sure you are restoring the backup this way: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.
You phone won't need to be from the same provider or have the same telephone number to use the backup, but you will need to be signed into the iCloud account that you backed up your old phone to.

Under iCloud backup, it says 'stop restoring iPhone' instead of 'back up now'? why does it say that? do i tap on 'stop restoring iPhone'?

Under iCloud Storage & backup, at the bottom of the page it says 'Stop Restoring iPhone' instead of 'Back up Now? did i do something wrong? Should i tap on 'Stop Restoring iphone'? this is a new 5c Iphone

Well, it is going to do a backup when you have it connnected to Wifi and plugged in (at least once a day). So, again, that is probably all it is doing now.
If you find that it is still saying this in, say, an hour, then reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears, the reset is taking place and the Home screen will display shortly. When the Home screen redisplays, go back and see if it is now showing the "Back up Now" button.
Cheers,

Just got my ipod and it won't let me type my location any idea why?

This is my first post so I hope I do it right. My iPodTouch come in today. I've installed the newest itunes and OS, mainly so I can download, install and play audiobooks. However, while all these programs are downloading, I thought to update my machine. But, it won't allow me to type in my location. The only letter it accepts is the P. Any ideas on why this happens?

Where won't it let you flip the keyboard? What App? Does the screen rotate in Apps like Safari?
Its up to the particular App to have rotation enabled. If it doesn't then the screen will remain in the orientation the designers set.
And By the way: this is the iPad forum. The iPod forum is here:

The facetime app won't let me sign in anymore any ideas? It keeps saying 'an error occurred during the activation, try again' what shuld I do?

The facetime app won't let me sign in anymore. I've been using it fine since Christmas, I haven't used my iPod Touch for about 2 weeks and now when I try to sgn in I get the message 'an error occurred during the activation, try again' what should I do?

After reading some posts, I see that it is cause by the date and time changing. I reset these ad now Facetime works OK

HT1926 I have a Google Nexus tablet, I downloaded the itunes app but it won't let me open it. Any ideas what my problem could be?

I have. Google Nexus tablet and after I download the iTunes, I cannot open it to use it; any ideas?

There's nothing different, unsual or unreasonable about that. Any computer programme has to be written for the operating system of the device you want to use it on.
I am puzzled though...

Hhmmm! It's called Windows for a reason.

When I have only one tab/window open, I used to be able to use Command-W to close it. All of a sudden, it won't let me do that. Any idea why that might be?

I tried re-installing version 7.0.1 but that didn't help.

about:config
browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
Set this to TRUE
You're welcome! :)

We have one iPhone3s w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud

we have one iPhone3gs w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud. How can I get all my photos from the iPhone3GS to iCloud?

You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

Anyone having trouble with iCloud? It first started on my iPhone5; it's not connecting to iCloud. Tells me I need to reset my password, but won't let me reset my password

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until it reboots and you see the silver apple. That should make it go away.

ICloud Drive on the Web won't let me drag and drop

I paid for the 200GB of iCloud storage and created some test folders on iCloud Drive just to make sure the iCloud.Com iCloud Drive app works as well as Dropbox's online version. It is nearly as good, but iCloud Drive on the web won't let me upload folders (by drag and drop) from finder to the web iCloud app. Apple says you can drag and drop.
It tells me that "This type of file needs to be compressed before it is uploaded". I'm going crazy! I need to be able to drag and drop or use the upload button to upload FOLDERS...not just files. But it gives me this message every time, even for a folder with one .pdf inside.
Please help!
Thanks

That's not true. You can easily drag files to the web version of iCloud Drive. But when I try to drag a folder, it tells me I need to compress it first before uploading. The point of iCloud Drive is that you can access it via iCloud.com anywhere and upload folders and files. I just can't seem to upload folders. Uploading files works fine.
Does anyone have a fix?

TS4268 My iPad accepts my password but won't let me on iMessages or FaceTime help

My iPad accepts my password but won't let me on I mess or FaceTime

Texas Mac Man, we seem to have the same hardware and ios. Maybe you can help direct me to a solution for a similar problem. I tried everything as best i could on the relevant support page, but I'm still stumped.
Problem: when attempting to sign in to either Facetime or Messages, this alert appears: "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
Device affected: iPad2
Device NOT affected iPhone5C
I have not tried turning off Airplane mode, out of fear that it might lock in on my mobile carrier and may charge me for data use from the iPad... I upgraded to the iPhone plan and eliminated the iPad data only plaN, keeping it on airplane mode ever since.
Details
1. The problem started after downloading and installing the latest iOS 8.1 for iPad.
2. I used this internet connection to download the iOS 8.1 update, and am now on Safari connected to the internet through this device to find out why Facetime won't work.
3. The wifi settings allowed the previous iOS to send/receive iMessages... And are sufficient to currently watch Netflix movies on this device... Given that iDevices don't change network settings from common use, and my iPhone can send iMessages while in airplane mode and on wifi, the settings must be correct.
4. I've successfully signed into my iTunes account on both my laptop and this device using the correct Apple email ID and password. I've successfully logged onto my Apple ID from the Apple website to confirm emails and IDs are verified, through Safari on this device.
5. My Apple ID is my current valid/alternate email address. I've signed into iCloud on both laptop and iPad using this password. I've emailed myself to and from my Apple ID email using this device. I've also tried signing into Facetime using my alternate Apple ID.
6. Time zone is correctly auto set to my nearest time zone town. When set manually, the problem is still present.
7. Cellular data connection is not subscribed for this device. This device with previous iOS has been able to use Messages through this wifi connection as it is currently configured. Attempts from various wifi/coffee spots to sign in using Apple ID and all possible alternates do not resolve the problem.
8. Even though this suggestion was not listed under this specific error message, I decided to try "waiting 24 hours" and the same error still results. It isn't clear if waiting means specifically not attempting to log in to iMessages.
I'll try waiting more and see where that gets me.
Thanks

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!

Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.
