Purchased tab iBooks

Hi, the iBooks purchased tab on my iOS 8.1.1 iPhone 5s lists all the books I've purchased - I've got half a dozen or so on the phone, the rest I've bought reside on my Mac / iCloud. The ones on my phone show fine under 'My Books', however under the 'purchased' tab > 'not on this iPhone' it lists all my purchased books including those that are on my iPhone...?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I note the same thing on my iPhone 5. The "purchased" screen is fine on the iPad and iMac, but just a blank on the iPhone.
This just started to happen recently perhaps Apple monitors this page, and can look into it.
Fortunately, I do not use my phone to read books, as the screen is just too small for me. I read iBooks almost exclusively on the iPad.

    i have spent well over $100 on books and am quite baffled as to how i can rectify this problem, PLEASE help

    If they are still in the store then you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

  • Purchased tab shows 1 update available but can't update it.

    Purchased tab shows 1 update available, but I can't find what book. I keep getting popup that it can't download the update. Why did the updates tab disappear in ios8?
    FIrst it showed 2 updates, but I kept getting a popup that it couldn't download the update. So I had to search in my list of books which books had updates. I just deleted all the books that had an update message. It kept showing 2 updates available, until I deleted every book I could find that had an update. But now it keeps showing a 1, and I can't find the corresponding book, and I keep getting a popup that it can't download it, even when ibooks is closed.
    WHy did they delete the updates tab?

    What is the exact message you're getting?  I guarantee it's not "the iPhone needs iTunes".

  • Purchased tab content blank

    I've been having this issue for a couple days  now.  When I go to the purchased tab in iBooks, I get a white blank page. My iPhone 6, seems to be unaffected. I've factory reset settings twice, restarted my ipad mini 2 wifi. Nothing seems to work! Any advice?

    Internal procedure that I mean is a procedure inside a procedure, like a inner procedure.
    When we are in the "main" procedure the content appear normally but when the control of execution goes to one inner procedure, the content of the data tab is in blank, empty.
    Thanks

  • TS1424 I have purchased a iBook that has chapters missing. How do I get the whole book downloaded?

    I paid for an iTunes book and several chapters are missing from the download. Is there a way to get the missing chapters?

    Have you tried deleting it from the iBooks app and re-downloading it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in iBooks ? Re-downloading.
    If it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • IPad (1), I don't see the "purchased" tab in App Store.

    I just got iOs 4.3.5, and I don't see the purchased tab in the App Store, or in iTunes. I do however see it in the iBooks app. Is this because I'm using the oringal iPad? I've tried a restart, and deleting it from the multi-task bar. Any ideas?

    No. I have the original iPad and it all works for me. It always has.
    Lets try this next. If you haven't downloaded anything since the iOS update why don't you download any free app - anything. Even free apps show up in the purchased tab. See if you download an app maybe it will reset something and the purchased tab will show up. It's worth a try and there are tons of free apps. You could try the same thing with any free iTunes content like the free single of the week or a free movie trailer - just to see if the tab shows up.

  • Book purchased in ibooks says downloaded but cannot find in ibooks or itunes purchases and not on my desktop.  Paid for it but cannot find the download.  HELP

    Purchase book from ibooks and paid for it. When I look up "purchased" it says it is downloaded but I cannot find it in either ibooks or itunes.  Am very new at this and read all previous similar posts, but nothing helped.  Please help me find my book.

    If it shows as 'downloaded' in the Purchased tabs in the iBooks app then it should show on the bookshelf in the app. If you select the My Books tab in the app (bottom left) and then tap the 'collection' name at the top middle of the bookshelf and select the 'All' collection does it then show on the bookshelf ?

  • How to retrieve apps after a complete iPod reset? The "App_Store Updates Purchase" tab isn't working!

    Hey Apple Community,
    I have a problem, but every problem has a story, so let me explain that first.
    Let's start of by saying that I bought my 32 Gb iPod in February, 2012.
    Over the course of the last 21 monts there have been about 370+ different apps on it (not all at ones of course). Of which I purchased about 26. I should also mension that my iPod hasn't been Jailbreaked at any point of time (I just don't trust it).
    Yesterday, I wanted to put some new songs and video's on it. So I connected my iPod to my PC (I use windows 8). When I opened, It told me that there was a new system update (iOS 6.1.5). Because I 'was' in a good mood and had the time, I pressed "Download and Install". The updates usually take some time to install so I minimalized iTunes and opened FireFox (to check my e-mail and watch some video's). About 8 minutes later, I got a notification from Windows telling me that iTunes had crashed. At that point the update wasn't done installing. I restarted my PC (just to be sure) and opened iTunes again. It immediately openened a notification, telling me that there was a damaged iPod connected to my PC. The only option I had was to restore it, which would mean that my iPod would get reset to it's manufacture settings. You can imagine that this sounded disturbing. Fortunately it also stated that I would get the option to restore it (to the way it was before the update/crash) after the reset. This would be done using the automated back-up system of iTunes. I started the reset and didn't touch my PC nor iPod until it was finished (just to be sure). Then I used the given 'restore to old state' option (the just installed version won't chance by doing this). After finishing, I immediately noticed that all of the apps that I installed were missing. In total about 100+ apps (about 60-70+ games, 30-40+ remaining apps). However I did get my photo's back (which are now backed up), that's nice! along with my music and video's. The missing apps are reinstallable but the saves aren't. Imagion 21 monts worth of game saves gone in a flash for more then 60 games. Of the 100+ app there are about 30 that I really want back, however I am unable the recall all of the names.
    So I went into the App_Store > Updates > Purchased tab. Here comes the real problem. The purchase tab doesn't load, it isn't even displaying the choice to switch from 'all' to 'not on this device'. I've tried some things to get is to work again: restart my iPod, log out and back in my iOS accant (in the app store) and a combination of the last 2 things. This didn't work however.
    My questions are:
    1) Is this problem fixable? If yes, how?
    2) If not, what would be the second best option of retrieving the missing apps?
    Thanks before hand,
    Sebgear

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                      
    Also, you should be able to redownload via iTunes on the computer. See that method included here:

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • "It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that iBooks can open". Can anyone help me with this message of a book that I purchased on iBooks, read, highlighted in the book and now I can't open it anymore. Please help!!!

    Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

  • HT201272 Why aren't my previously purchased apps showing up in the purchased tab of the app store on my new ipad?  I used the same ID as my old ipad.

    I sold my original ipad and bought an ipad 2.  I wasn't worried about losing all of the apps I had previously purchased/downloaded, because I knew that the app store has a "purchased" tab, from which you can download previously downloaded apps.  I set up my new ipad 2 with the same app store ID.  I went to the purchased tab, the loading circle went on for awhile then went away, but no apps showed up.  What's the problem?
    I would be really upset if I lost all of the apps I previously paid for or downloaded (probably about 80 or so), seeing as how the app store is supposed to remember my purchase/download history based upon the user ID.

    Go to "Settings > iTunes and App Stores", touch the AppleID, sign out, and then sign in with your revised AppleID.

  • I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

    How to delete the apps in the purchased tab in appstore which i no longer have on my ipad. They still show in the purchased tab.

    It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear in the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. If your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do it via your computer's iTunes.
