The edit button is spinning forever in the ibooks app. How to make it stop spinning?

I used to have this problem on a iPad 2 with iOS7 (and iOS6). Everytime I would install a new PDF, iBooks would churn away like it was scanning it. The book wouldn't even show up for me to read until the churning stopped. Eventually the edit button would re-enable and the doc would appear.. It seemed to keep getting worse each time.
I then did a complete restore to the iPad. Now when I load a new book, it immediately is available for edit. iBooks still works fine 3 months after I did the restore.

I have my iPhone locked and I don't want the music controls to pop up when I double click the home button. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.

How to I update to a 7.0 so that I can add the iBook app to my ipad

How do I update to a 7.0 so that I can add the iBook app to my iPad

What generation iPad do you have?
The First generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
However you should be able to get the last compatible version of the iBooks App by tapping on the install button.
You might need to download first to a computer running itunes or a device that can take the newest version before you will get the option for the last compatible version.

I cant download the iBook app to my new iPad.

I am a complete newbie to apple, and must be missing something pretty basic, but I cant seem to download the iBook app to my iPad. I have tried twice, but it doesnt seem to have worked. When I touch the App Store icon, then the Purchased Icon at the bottom of the screen, I see an iBooks page, which says near the top left corner "installed", but it just seems to be a passive web page or an advert for the app, not the actual app itself. It shows customer ratings and reviews etc.
If I touch the Left arrow labelled Purchases at the top left of the screen, the screen moves left and shows a single item under iPad - "iBooks Purchased 17 August" (which I presume is one of my download attempts). But if I touch that item, the screen just moves right to the passive page described above.
I am stuck here, and cant move on. Can anyone help, please? I would like to have an iBook icon on the home page, which I can use to purchase iBooks fron the iBook store. Thanks.
I have an Apple ID, and I am connecting to the internet successfully via WiFi. I have tried using iTunes on my Windows PC, and had no better luck there.

If you've tried to download it (and it showing 'installed' in the App Store indicates that it is) but it isn't showing on any of your homescreens (you've tried swiping your homescreeen to the leftto see if it's on the next screen ?) then try a reset and see if it appears after the iPad has restarted (other people have had a similar issue with iBooks and it hasn't appeared until after a reset) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot

The iBook app crashes

While downloading a book into iBooks the book didn't open and the iBooks app closes ,I am not able to delete the book or even open the app.
What can be done?
Please advice

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I downloaded ibooks via ipad2 then synced to itunes, now ipod touch wont add the ibooks app

Hi,
I just bought an Ipad2. Today I downloaded the iBooks app directly to the Ipad. When I connected to my PC to sync, the iBooks transfered to itunes as planned. When I plugged in my Ipod touch 4th gen to sync, it told me that in order to get the ibooks app, i need to go to the app tab. When in the app tab I see the icons, and I am unable to adjust or click which apps to add. It is a shaded out version, where you can see but not edit. So I decided to go to itunes store to download the app, and it says downloaded, so I can download again.
Please help

Download directly from iPod touch. On iTouch, go to App Store, 'Update' Tab', select 'Purchased', then 'Not on this iPod Touch', scroll down to look for iBook and install.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

I have few PDf files on my computer and I want to add them to my ipod touch, please tell me the procedure on how should I do that? Secondly I want to run these Pdf files through the ibook app, as it also have the Pdf file sections

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

You're welocme
Depending on the size of the app or the connection speed when using Wi-Fi it could take a little longer to download. You can also try to download it onto your computer, might be faster, and sync it to the phone after that.

How to put a doc file in the iBook app on an iPhone

I have been successful moving PDF onto the iBook app on my iPhone 3GS but the same procedure does not with with a Doc. There is a "DOC" category listed within the iBook app itself so I should be able to do it.
Dragging the file from "finder" into the ebook section within iTunes is how I get PDFs into iBook. Is there a different way for Docs?
I am on a Macbook Pro using Lion 10.7.3.
IPhone is a 3GS

It appears that doc files cannot be put on the iBook App....only PDFs and ePub files.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, iBooks 2.1

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

I have an IPad 1. I went to download 2 iBooks. I cannot down the load the latest version of the iBooks app. How do I get my money back cancel the purchase or get the book?

I have an ipad1. I went to download 2 iBooks. They failed to download. I cannot an download the latestv version of the iBooks app. How do I cancel the purchase get the book or get the latestest versionoff the app without an upgrade.?

Try downloading the current version of the iBooks app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your account's purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and you should be able to download an older compatible version of the app.

The edit button is spinning forever in the ibooks app. How to make it stop?
