Paid $10 for a book for ipad -- won't download

This may be the wrong forum, but not sure where to go. I purchased a book that is supposed to open in iBook, but it never shows up. So if I go back to the Library, it shows the book and other books listed there (other books that never downloaded either). All the other books say "downloading." But the book I just paid $10 for doesn't say that. It shows a little down arrow in a little white cloud (one other book shows that too). So when I click on that it says "downloading" again. But pretty soon, it stops and I'm back to the little down arrow.
If I never get the book, you can BET I'll never get my $10 back! Apple never believes anything, even if you show them receipts of the purchase. I experienced that once and went through a nightmare trying to get my app -- even though it showed that I did purchase it.
So here I am again having just paid $10 for a book, and it just never shows up. I don't know how to get it to keep downloading or where else it could have downloaded? Said I needed iBook to buy it.
Sigh . . .

Check the size of the book, which should appear after the description and stuff. If it is a large book, will need either a very fast Internet link or a longer download interval, provided your connection is stable for the duration. Else the download will fail and you will have to keep retrying. The "cloud with down arrow" means the item has not downloaded successfully yet.
For example, Getty Images "2013 Year in Pictures" is over 800MB in size and takes almost 20 minutes to download in my home's 6Mbps ADLS link.

Today for some reason my Ipad won't tether properly. The iphone says it's connected and on the Ipad next to Wi-Fi in settings shows I'm connected but at the top left of the screen there is no connection icon and I cannot load and display web pages. My Ipad is about three weeks old and I have never had this problem before. I have rebooted but this did not solve my problem.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

Flash has been used for more than just displaying videos. The Vote choice your daughter found is one of those flash type sites that will not display on iOS devices. There are now over 100 million iPads, and who knows how many more iPhones out there. Developers who want their content to display on all these devices will have to move away from the old Flash technology.
There were some version of Flash that ran on other brands of tablets. But Adobe has stopped all development of Flash for all mobile devices. As time goes on and mobile operating systems evolve the no Apple devices will lose their ability to run Flash too. Web developers need to move on to cleaner, more efficient types of programming.

My iPad won't download any music.it says download error. I have 100 downloads stuck on my downloads at the bottom of the page on itunes

My iPad won't download any music. It says download error try again. I have 100 downloads stuck on my downloads in iTunes store.

Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

IPad won't download apps or update them

If I bring my iPad to the store where I got it would they be able to answer my question or can you .my iPad won't download apps or update them from the AppStore when I download an app it just says waiting under it but never downloads the same happens when I update them a and my wifi bars are always high ?I do hope you can help!

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Have some of the apps and music on your iPad been purchased using a different Apple ID? If so, this could be the problem.

HT6133 Java for OS X 2014-001 won't download

I need this download to run my CS4 software - it won't download. Get's to the last 0.1mb and freezes - I've tried it in Firefox. Chrome and Safari and it gets to the same spot. Any solution will be appreciated.

Of course it won't work because that's not the correct link. The beginning of every URL should be "http://". Yours is "mudesktop." The URL should be:

TS3899 My iPad won't download mail after password change

I recently changed my password on hotmail. Since then my hotmail account won't download any emails after 2011. when I use the. Ail app on my iPad it says I have 97 emails to download, 14 new emails. I've deleted the account. I've turned off the iPad. I've done a reset using the home button and off button. Nothing! Help!,

When you changed your password did you change it on hotmail, via safari....for example, went to hotmail.com, signed into your hotmail, followed the password changing protocols. Then go into your iPad's settings and your hotmail account and changed the password to match?
When you deleted your account info off your iPad did you use the outlook preset when you added it back in?

My iPad won't download iTunes content

I've just installed the new ISO 7 upgrade, and now my iTunes won't work on my iPad. I get to the content I want to download, hit the green button and nothing happens. It works fine on my iPhone and I'm on wifi. I've checked my settings and I'm signed into my iTunes properly. Please help!

What are trying to do ? In order to use FaceTime on the iPad (you can't download it) then you need to be connected to a wifi network, it won't work over 3G . If you having problems with wifi then there is some troubleshooting help on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Ipad won't download music from PC or the cloud.

My ipad 4 will not download music from either my pc or the iCloud. My pc gives me an "ATH.exe" error message and the ipad message is "cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I did sync this device to my pc and it shows info but just won't download music to it.

No idea what that means since I've never seen the video. If you give some detail about what you have done so far, it might be easier to offer some assistance.

I am trying to decide what gig i need. I want to use the Ipad for my books for college.

I need to know what gig to get... I want to use the ipad for my college textbooks to take them to class on it. How many etextbooks would the ipad hold?

Caveat to the above: books that have a lot of pictures or graphics can be quite large; many megabytes. If you can find out from your college program what books you'll need, check to see if 1) they're available; many textbook publishers have yet to provide textbooks as e-books and 2) if they are available (from one of the e-book providers; you can use Kindle, Nook and Google books on your iPad in addition to Apple's iBooks) how large they are. Then you can add the sizes up, figure out what else you might want on your iPad (movies, for instance, take up a lot of space) and determine what capacity you'll need. When it doubt, buy more capacity than you think you'll need; an iPad can't be expanded later if you run short.
Regards.

I paid for an app but it won't download?

I paid for the app but now every time I try to download it won't.

What happens when you try to download the app?
Have you tried downloading it on your computer and syncing to the iPod?

TS1398 this didn't help me at all. out of the clear clue my iPad can't even scan for wireless networks. even when I type in my home wireless network name. my phone can connect to it but for whatever reason my iPad won't. nothing I've tried works. I'm ****

believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?
