Preview on iPad failing

I can't get my ibook file to preview on an iPad -- the preview drop-down device list is blank. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running OS 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro, iPad iOS 5.01, iBooks v2, iTunes 10.5, so all software is up to date.

Make sure all updates are installed on Mac and iPad.  Make sure all devices match minimum requirements.
This includes:
1.  Mac OSX - LIon
2.  ITunes
3.  IAuthor
3.  iOS on iPad
4.  iBooks
Turn iPad off and turn back on.
Is this a iPad 1 or iPad 2?

  • IPad fails to connect to Wi-Fi????

    After eliminating e-mail's with no message my iPad fails to connect to my Wi-Fi, yet my Touch connects. How to resolve?

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • IPad fails to connect to WiFi after OTA update to iOS 6

    After the OTA update to iOS 6 my new iPad fails to connect to my WiFi network at home. My LANCOM router reports the following issue:
    Index: 62294

    Interface: WLAN-1
    Ereignis: Rejected Association from WLAN station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx []: ()

    Grund: Cannot support all requested capabilities in Capability Information field
    It has worked flawlessly in the past with iOS 5 on my new iPad and iPhone 4. At the moment I hestitate to update my iPhone too.
    Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),

  • How do I back up contents of apps such as notes and office docs on my PC so that in the event of my ipad failing I can use these docs on my PC (windows op system)

    How do I back up the contents of apps such as notes and office docs on my ipad to my PC ( windows op system) so I can use them on PC if my ipad fails?

    You can use File Sharing in order to transfer the Word documents and the notes depending upon what apps you are using. Take a look at this.
    iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
    There are file transfering apps like this one.
    File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
    You can always email files as a last resort type of thing. That may not be practical depending upon the number of files that you have.

  • Preview on iPad through Folio Overlays window of smooth scrolling article.

    Preview on iPad through Folio Overlays window of smooth scrolling article (ex. 1024 x 2000 px) is not working anymore. Article is scaled and turned in vertical orientation. No problem with Folio Builder.

    Thanks for reporting this, I'll pass it on to our test team for investigation and they'll log a bug against a future release if we can reproduce it.

  • Enlarge images on tap from iBooks Author to preview on iPad...

    I wonder if anyone can indicate how to output 'all' images to enlarge on tap on preview in iPad?
    While some images output correctly on tap on iPad (they get bigger), others don't. Appreciate any ideas.

    Thanks much for checking it out! After your response and some additional looking around on our part, we're heading down the "it might be Apple" path - perhaps something that happens on upload from Producer (compression, maybe???).
    The reason we're going that way is that we can't really replicate either - without Apple. The upload to the Apple store through Producer seems to be the constant.
    So ...
    Drop shadows visible directly in .iba file in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when using the preview feature in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when directly opening the .iBooks file exported in iBooks Author = yes.
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded preview from iBoookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
    Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded (full purchase) book from iBookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
    Here's the link to one of the books this is happening to. If you have the time/inclination to look, would you please confirm if you can see drop shadows? There should be at least one on every page of the preview.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/u.s.-history-reconstruction/id521396731?mt=13
    Again ... much appreciate the look!!!

  • Am I the only one that has had every charging cable (for my iPhones and my iPads) fail? Very frustrating. I got used to quality products from Apple but seems the small stuff is being overlooked nowadays.

    I have yet to have a cable for my iPad 3, iPad 4 or iPhone 5 fail. I have multiple cables for each device without any failures.

  • Ipad failed to load book because the requested resource is missing

    ipad failed to load book because the requested resource is missing ? any ideas what to do ?

    This happened to me also when I was away from home. To fix it you have to delete the iBooks app, turn off your iPad. When you are back home are at your original source where you downloaded iTunes (mine was my home computer) redownload iBooks on your iPad.  It will come back up with all your purchases, go to the book you want to read, tap it, and it will download on your iPad.  The key is you have to be back where you originally downloaded your iTunes.  Hope this works for you.

  • How do I unfreeze iBook preview on iPad?

    The preview on iPad has been working just fine.  Then... in the table of contents the section titles disappeared and the keynote inserts would not enlarge or advance.  What magic buttons do I need to push?

    You're welcome.
    Troubleshooting references? ...bit of moving sand, I think.
    • We have ebooks on using
    • Guides & Tech Notes from Apple
    • Classes on getting started w/iBA in Apple Stores
    • Forum-based User Tips
    But when it comes to specifics for down/dirty iBA TS, I think it boils down to old fashioned personal trial/effort sticktoitiveness and hanging out here . If I thought there was a market for it, I'd commit to that sort of book, perhaps.

  • IPad fails to complete IOS 4.3 update

    My iPad failed to complete the IOS 4.3 update. The message in iTunes said the iPad needs to be restored, but the restore fails to complete. I tried a different cable and USB port on my iMac. I charged my iPad for a few hours and tried it again. My iTunes is version 10.2.1. This is a iPad 1 (Wifi version).
    iTunes runs through the restore process until it says "restoring iPad software" and almost completes the install. The restore completes until about 90% or so of the way and just hangs up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem and called Apple. Here's what we did: I held down both the Home button and the Sleep button at the same time until the iPad rebooted. Then the iPad screen changed to the iTunes icon and a USB cord. When I opened iTunes, I could now see the iPad (previously it hadn't shown up) and got an error message. The Apple tech said I would need to restore the factory settings. I did and it took a while since my iPad is loaded with aps and music, but it all came back since it was backed up on my Mac.
    Good luck! They are hearing from a lot of people with this (but I'm the only one I know with an iPad who had the issue) and didn't charge me--I don't have the extended care plan.

    Any way that I can solve this?
    Thanks

    - Command prompt:dism.exe /online /cleanup-image scanhealth and restorehealth(When i use restorehealth gives me this error:0x800f081f) 
    - Create a new admin user and try to install update
    - rename softwaredistribution
    - Command prompt: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

  • IPad Fails to Restore after recent update through iTunes

    iPad failed the recent update and now fails to restore with a 1014 error code. I tried all of the items listed on the Apple site regarding restoring an iPad. Any ideas?

    Have you looked at the three precious threads on this forum that discussed the same error? You can find those by searching the iPad forum for : 1014
