TS1702 A purchased book in iBooks is stuck in downloading status, downloaded on my phone but I cannot manipulate it on my pad

I have a book that is stuck in the downloading status, it will not complete and cannot be deleted.   Originally loaded as a sample did not complete the load, loads fine to my phone, but not the pad, purchased on the phone subsequently but still cannot load to my pad, restarted pad in hard boot with no change in status. Any suggestions

I had this problem and fixed it by deleting the iBooks app from my iPad. When I reinstalled it all my previous purchases downloaded, including the two 'stuck' books. Just make sure to backup any PDFs or non-iBooks that you have so you can reinstall them from your backup location.

  • TS1702 Previously purchased book on iBooks, previously read. Still visible on iBooks on the iPad. When I attempt to open the book now, I get the message: "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." Help.   Larry

    On iBooks app on iPad: When trying to open a previously purchased and read book, I get the message "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing."    How can I open the book again?      Larry107

    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
    Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
    If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions.

  • HT201272 Will not download purchased book from iBooks???

    will not download purchased book from iBooks???

    I Just figured this out. I had downloaded a bunch of books on my iPhone and had the greyed-out issue on my iPad with sync collections enabled. Had tried all the same fixes as indicated in this thread and others without success. What worked was restarting my iPad (this may not be a necessary stage) and searching for the titles that were stuck In the iBooks store. As expected each showed an 'in progress' download button. I was finally able to tap this to stop the (non-existent) download, which hadn't been possible within 'My Books' or the 'Purchased' tab on the store. When I tapped the button briefly jumped to 'Read' then changed to the standard iCloud download button for a previous purchase. Tapping this successfully initiated the download, which then synced into the right collection in my library.
    Hope it works for you!

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

  • Why can I download samples, but am unable to purchase books from ibooks on my ipad?

    I recently encountered problems downloading and shopping for books at ibooks.  I am able to download samples of books, but when I attempt to purchase them, I am unable to.  I've rechecked my apple account information, and the credit card I'm using is up to date and listed.  More recently, when I visit the ibooks store, no book titles are visible.  Any suggestions?

    Hey Aggiesmommy 91,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues downloading purchased iBooks. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this so you can enjoy those purchases.
    First, try forcing the iBooks application to close:

    Hello kjgh,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased books in iBooks.  For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPad:
    Changing your Apple ID account
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
    Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
    The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPad:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

  • I can't opened a purchased book in iBook

    I can't open a purchased book in my iBook! Both on my iPad and iPhone. There's the iCloud icon and when I select it, it looks like it's going to open, but nothing! Help!

    The Cloud icon means it needs to be downloaded. You could try a hard reset ie hold the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider).
