Trouble with iBooks

In my iBooks there are a couple books that I've bought awhile back, with iTunes cards and when I decided to sync my iphone to my iPad and download the iBooks app for some reason 3 of the books still would not appear. Every other book popped up except those three. Now when I'm on my iPad and look at the books thru my library they show up and work fine, now when I look at the books thru the store to the side of it says "downloaded". That's what confuse me because I paid for the books and now when I'm on my iPhone I can't even get the books because they won't even pop up at all. And when I'm on my iPhone and I'm looking at the store it wants me to rebut the books. Is there anyway I can fix this?

In iBooks slide the screen left to get purchases books or tap collections. Are the books there ?

TS1702 I am having trouble with iBooks it is coming up with a blank screen, I tuned ogg my iPad but did not make any difference I then uninstalled iBooks and an trying to install it over wifii but it does not seem to be loading even after an hour any sug

I am having difficulties with iBook it went blank! I uninstalled it am now waiting for it to reload over wifi any suggestions how long this takes? I am on holiday and don't have computer access I have been waiting an hour any suggestions please

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

Having trouble with ibook display

Just got my 15yo son a free ibook from a friend. It seemed to have the logic board problem that these systems are prone to. It would boot up to a blank screen, get lines in it etc.. and seemed to work fine with a little pressure applied.
So he has been researching this problem, and yesterday followed instructions to take off the back and use a shim, then put the back on again. This seemed to work, or well, at least it boots up every time now.
However, it goes to a screen with a folder that flashes between a question mark and a face.
It seemed to work fine before the fix. We actually didn't use it much, thinking it might not be good for it. But you could use it just fine once you got it going.
I don't have the admin password, or the start up disc. But saw that I could buy one on ebay.
Is there a way we can fix this, or is it no good? I got the ibook so my kids could learn to use a mac. We have been thinking of switching all our household computers to mac from pc, but wanted to try it out first before investing all that money.

For the costs of troubleshooting and repairing
an older computer, and getting an OS X disc
set for it (should be included with a previously
owned computer) you could consider looking
into refurbished or repaired ones with a limited
guarantee and return policy. Some of these do
not include the boot/install discs either, though.
A computer needing work is worth significantly
less than one with a good bill of health; and
all older models with few exception are not
very expensive. In fact, repaired ones are a
fairly good deal compared to the retail cost.
One of several places online to check, to see
what a fixed one can cost (varies with options)
is http://www.wegenermedia.com/ and there are
some models worth avoiding. A good experience
with Mac OS X - especially if compared against
any other system - should be based on newer
hardware and relatively recent OS X versions.
A desktop computer can cost less than portables,
when new this is really noticable; in the Certified
Apple Store refurbished pages, you can see that
a recent model Intel-based iMac with like-new
hardware, recent OS X version, and warranty, is
a fairly good deal. A new MacBook (white) model
from the online Apple Store, is also a great deal.
Older used hardware has various limitations.
Computers over 4 years old start needing a
few repairs or replacement parts; and they
may not be adequate for a beginner to learn
the best of any operating system. And OS X
does shine quite nicely; beyond the look of it.
Some resellers of new Apple computers may
have new/old stock of recent but not the latest
models, and at less than original retail. Be care-
ful to not go just by the price numbers; see if
the latest computer at Apple Store online is of
higher specs for the same price. I see resellers
with older inventory, asking full new prices, too.
(Not all, but some do this in other retail environs.)
The iBook G3 you have is a problematic series
and by now, even the better ones would be in
a need for repair or replacement parts. A few
out there in the world of honest refurbished old
computers may be fine, if not too costly. The
better iBook is the G4 1.33GHz 12" or G4 1.42
GHz 14". And PowerBook G4s are often durable.
You can get a lot of computer value in a desktop
when looking at a new computer; the iMac Intel
models are superior and would be a fine start.
The least expensive MacBook (online store) new
is also a good value in computing at under $1k.
Good luck & happy computing!

Trouble with iBooks app

After a couple of weeks of it working fine, all of a sudden when I click on the iBooks app, it will not show me all of my books. It just goes directly into the iPod Touch manual, which was one of the "books" I downloaded. How do I fix this? Yes, I have updated all apps....Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks, fiend...for some reason it was working correctly when I got home tonight - go figure! I've been fighting it for about 3 days. I *did* try tapping on the screen when it would go into the iPod manual & nothing would happen. The powers that be must have fixed something since last night, lol.

HT5085 I am having trouble with an iBooks but it is not working. Any hints?

I am having trouble with downloading iBooks. The book has many repeated pages and missing pages. I have tried going to "purchased" and downloading it again but the download doesn't work. Thanks.!

On an iPad there should be a Store button at the top left of the iBooks app (top right if you are on an iPhone or iPod Touch) - tap that to go into the store, and there should be a Purchased tab at the bottom right of the store page from where you can re-download past ibook purchases (assuming that they remain available in the store).
Whether you can buy books from within the ibookstore will depend upon what country that you are in, some countries currently just have free books.

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Trouble with e-mail

I've noticed that I'm having trouble with my .mac/.me account in that I can't seem to send messages anymore. We haven't changed service providers or modems or routers...and it's a problem on the imac and the ibook (4 year differential in age). I've checked all my ports, etc., and I can receive mail but can't send it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Amy, and welcome to the Discussions.
This forum is for old, pre-G3 Apple hardware and so probably not the best place for you question. I'd suggest you ask in the MobileMe forums. You'll be more likely to get help there. When you repost, make sure to include information about what you're using to get and send your mail; the Mail application that comes with Mac OS X, a web browser, or something else (and if so, what).
Regards.

New apple aluminium keyboard with iBook G4

Is this keyboard compatible with my laptop? I have some documents i need to type up, and would like to go an ergonomic route, by using an external, full size keyboard. Anyone know if i can use the new Apple keyboard with my iBook? I'm running Mac OSX ver. 10.4.11.
Thanks!
Brige

Hi there:
The keyboard should work OK; are you referring to a BT wireless version
or the USB corded one? I use a USB keyboard with my iBook G4, and it
is the older white plastic one. I got a good deal on it and so both of my
computers have the same keyboard (and I have a spare new Pro model.)
The USB keyboard is handy for me, since a wireless one would not work
when I use it for other maintenance routines and startup for things such
as safeboot, reset pram or other stuff that may suit my fancy. A wireless
keyboard won't let you do many of those important things, but USB will.
The new style aluminum USB keyboard is more costly than the one it
replaced, and the older plastic ones are not available (except for any
old stock someone may have) so I jumped at the plastic one for $25.
And the wireless keyboard in white plastic has different specs, they
would have no trouble with most Apple computers so enabled; while
a few computers early on, had some issues with the new aluminum.
Hopefully your choice works well for you.
Good luck & happy computing!

Trouble with MacBook Pro finding AirPort networks

I recently bought a new (refurbished) MacBook Pro (15", 1.83GHz), to replace my old iBook, which was one of the early white models, circa 2001.
Everything about my new computer is wonderful, of course, except that every time I boot up, wake from sleep, or turn on the AirPort, it takes up to a full minute for the AirPort to find any open networks. This happens at school (where there are AirPort base stations all over the place), at home (where we have a Belkin router, and several neighbors have others), and at my parents' house (where they have a linksys router). It doesn't seem to matter whether the networks use encryption or not, nor how close or far I am from the nearest router. If I know the name of a nearby open network and type it in, I can get it, usually. On my old iBook, I had a little trouble with some of the networks at school sometimes, but never with this kind of delay across the board, and certainly never at home nor at my parents'.
Also, at home, when the the AirPort finally does find the available networks, it NEVER chooses my router first, even though it's the only one in the neighborhood that I listed under "Preferred Networks."
I've read some similar posts, dealing with problems with accessing encrypted networks, but nothing seemed to address my particular issue. It might be a defect with the AirPort or firmware, but I wanted to check, first.
(Oh, and I'm not a complete newbie, but tech-speak often goes over my head. Please keep it simple.)
Thanks!

This is how I fixed the problem on my MBP.
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
Delete the folder SystemConfiguration
Go to System Prefrences > Network > Show+Network Port Configuration. Check Airport and Built-in Ethernet and make sure Airport is on the top of the list.
Reconfigure your wep passwords and it should work. Worked for me. Also, you will have to redo your power settings.
Regards,
David Rodriguez

I'm having a problem with iBooks. When I want to browse the books by a certain author, then tap on that author, nothing happens. No books appear. This just recently became a problem. Would appreciate help.

I am having trouble with my iBooks app. When I tap an authors name in order to browse the available books, nothing happens. this problem has just recently occurred. It doesn't matter if I am looking at paid or free. Any suggestions ?

Trouble with OS X 10.3 apps?

Hello. I have an iBook G4 running 10.3. I am having trouble with the applications that are part of the OS X system. I first noticed this with iPhoto because I use it a lot. When I click the icon the program launches but will not start (proper term?) No page is displayed but I have to force quit the program. Several of the apps do this. It just came back from the computer doctor (authorized service person) and is worse. It has been upgraded, archived and installed, erased and installed. At first the apps would work after a reinstall until I shut it down. I just deleted several gigs of previous system files that were eating my hard drive space. I do have applecare and have spent quite a bit of time with tech support. I am wondering if my install disks are corrupted? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I would suggest you try to repair permission (application / utilities / disk utility),; and then check you have the correct fonts installed in the right places - there are some documents on these forums that go through which fonts are needed (sorry, I dont know off hand where there are- try the 10.3 discussion area or FAQs)
Try those 2 things and come back and tell us if you still have the problem!
Good luck!

I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Trouble with OR in where clause

Hello,
I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:
BEGIN
SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM
primary_pledge pp
WHERE
-- Get total if multiple allocations
pp.prim_pledge_number IN
(SELECT pc.pledge_number
FROM pledge_codes pc
WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
-- Get total if single allocation
OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
RETURN return_amount;
END;
If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
Thanks

These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM   primary_pledge pp
WHERE pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                 FROM pledge_codes pc
                                 WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                 AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                 AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
UNION ALL
SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
   RETURN return_amount;
END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.
Cheers, APC
