Pre-ordered Book disappears

Several days ago, I pre-ordered the mystery This Body of Death by Elizabeth George at the price of $14.99. Yesterday, after seeing a hard copy edition in a local bookstore, I launched iBook to check on the status of my order. The book is not listed among my purchases nor did it appear earlier this evening when I did a search for books written by Elizabeth George.
Anybody have a similar experience?

Yeah, that was my point. If it downloaded to his I tunes, the pad wouldn't have it, and apple thinks they already sent it. If that is what happens, all he needs to do is sync. But I wonder if it downloaded yet at all.
I preordered a book some time ago, and do not remember if the download was automatic. I do remember thinking it was over due, and then poof, it was there. You may have to visit the store to trigger the download.

Pre-Order Book stuck in downloading, book not in yet

I agreed to purchased a book on a pre-order basis. Now when I go into my libray it is hung up trying to download this book that is not yet available. I have tried fully shutting down the ipad, but no luck. Also tried to buy a new book that is available, but that is not downloading and library is still hung up on the pre order book not yet available.
Any help would be appreciated!

Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. However, the knowbase article referred to in iTunes Store: How to delete a downloading purchase on iOS seems to refer to an earlier version of the iTunes app than I have with iOS 8.0.2. My iTunes app has neither a More button in bottom nav bar, nor any options to display a Downloads list.
iBooks does display The Innovators book in its Books list, with a downloading icon (circle with pause button inside) showing status of this book. The progress indicator in this icon (solid line progressing around the circle) is stuck at the very beginning of the download operation, and hangs there forever. I cannot use the Select button to select this book (to move or delete it); the Select button displays a radio button in front of each item, allowing a group of books to be selected for a Move or Delete operation. But The Innovators book's radio button cannot be toggled (presumably because the book is still downloading).
As I indicated in my original message, I can use iTunes on Mac to remove the book from the iPad as part of its Sync/Backup operations. While this removal appears to work, the book reappears in the Books list on the iPad shortly after the Sync operation completes. Again, I presume this is because the book still exists in the download list on the iPad.
Any other thoughts on how to proceed?

Two Pre-order books at same time

I had two pre-order books that were released today. Neither one of them has actually downloaded in my library. They are both sitting in the 'Books' Shelf. They have the bar on the bottom of the book that pops up when you first download something. Usually when a pre-order book comes through they ask for my password right when I open up the app. It hasn't asked me for my password. If I go to my purchases in iBooks it just says downloading but neither of them are downloading. It will not let me hit Edit and then delete them and go back and re-download them. I went and bought another book thinking maybe it would push through the purchases but it hasn't done anything.
any ideas or help?!?

Hi kevans426!
You should try power cycling your device to see if the issue persists, but if it does, you may need to report an issue with this purchase using the steps located in this article:

Pre ordered books not showing

I Can't view my pre ordered books in the store is any one else having this problem? Each time I click on my purchases when in the store the page comes up blank. I was supposed to have a book released 2 days ago but it hasn't downloaded, unfortunately I can't remember which book it was so I can't search for it

HT4059 How can I cancel a pre-ordered book? Thanks.

Can anyone instruct me on how to cancel a pre-ordered book?
Thanks

If you wish to cancel a pre-order, simply swipe from left to right across the title, tap Delete, then tap OK on the confirmation screen.

HT203433 Itunes tells me my pre-ordered book is ready to download and never does...

So every time I download a new app from my iPhone 4s, a popup comes and tells me my pre-ordered book 'such wicked intent' is ready for download, and then asks if I'd like to download it now. So I always tap 'yes'.
However, no matter if I'm on 4g or my own internet at home, I always get a message that says "cannot connect to iTunes store, and the book never downloads.
What more is that when I search on the iTunese store from my computer, the book isn't in 'recently purchased' or anything, so it seems I can't download the book again with out REpaying for it.
How can this be fixed?

There are a few options... but start here:

HT4059 I want to cancel a pre ordered book in iBooks does anyone know how please?

I wish to cancel a pre ordered book in iBooks does anyone know how to do this please?

Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

Upon notification that a pre-ordered book was ready for download by clicking on a link, the book failed to download. The link sent me back to the store. How can I activate the download?

I pre-ordered a book. I was notified it was ready for download. When I clicked on the link to download it failed to download. Instead, it took me to the store.
How do I get my pre-ordered book without paying twice?

Hello Jonagolds
Your purchase should show up as something that you could download again. Check out the article below on how to do that across all devices and in iTunes. If that is not the case and you do not see it, then report the issue to the iTunes Store for further assistance.

Pre ordering books, deleting messages

I Pre ordered a book. Now that it available for download I no longer want it. How do I get rid of the message telling me it is now available?

Hello dt613-
The excitement around Grand Theft Auto 5 just keeps building the more that they reveal about this game. With how big the world should be this time, the guide book may end up being a total necessity.
I’m not sure where this coupon is from, but if it was an @Gamer coupon, those usually can only be used on in-stock guide books. However, you can definitely pre-order the guide book, your link shows that it is available for pre-order.
I hope that this helps, but let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks,

I can't download a pre-order book, but i can download others new

I have pre ordered a book Ana i can't download it but i can download new book

Hi again,
i just looked at this same book (that I received a pre-order download email for today) on my iPhone 5 and it was already downloaded - it never asked for the password. I opened the book and it is all there. Then I went back to iBooks on the iPad and the book was still sitting waiting to be downloaded, but this time when I hit the download icon and it asked for a password the keyboard was not grayed out so I could download.
Strange that each time I tried the download BEFORE looking at the same item on the iPhone the iPad grayed the keyboard, but worked AFTER accessing the book on the iPhone.
Also strange that the iPhone downloaded automatically but the iPad did not.

Can't download a pre-ordered book on iPad

I got the e-mail telling me that a book I had pre-ordered was available for download. When I tap on the link in the e-mail, iBooks launches and asks me for my password. However, the keyboard is grayed out so that I can't enter anything. Going to purchased items shows the book as pre-ordered but doesn't have any way to download. This has happened with the last 8 or 10 books I have pre-ordered. I tried killing and re-starting iBooks and then killing and re-booting the iPad. Neither worked. I then contact Apple support. They had me re-set all settings on my iPad. When that didn't work, their next suggestion was to delete and re-install ibooks. Neither of those solutions worked either. Now, they suggest that I do a restore of the iPad and re-install everything. I think there has to be a less drastic solution. Quite frankly, that solution is worse than the problem. So has anyone seen this behoavior before and know of a less drastic solution? (My work around is to download the book on my Mac at home and then I can either download it on the iPad or sync. Not as convenient as downloading it directly but much less painful than a re-set to factory state.)

How to know when pre-order book is available?

Hi, I pre-ordered a book in iBooks on my iPad mini. Today is the day the book was to be available. How will I know when the book is there? The iPad mini is running iOS 6.1.3. I don't plan to update to iOS 7 on the mini.
Thanks

You could also simply go to the iBook Store, find it, and download it. You shouldn't be billed twice when you do this. You could also setup automatic downloads at the time you purchase the book. The worse that could happen is that you get two copies of the book, and simply delete one.
