TS1702 Sometimes my purchases in iBooks stay as 'sample' or display 'paused'...wi-fi is functioning well.

Sometimes my purchases in iBooks stay as 'sample' on the library shelf, or 'paused' although wi-fi is connected. And the titles exist in my Purchased section of the app! Can you suggest a way to actually open and read these stalled books? I've tried restarting iPad2, opening the book from Store or Library or Authdor Page.

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

HT4059 i purchased an ibooks but t is stuck in paused. where is purchases so I can press download to get my book

I bought ibook but it is stuck in paused. where is the "purchases " key so I can get downloaded.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic book (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iBook store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Hi Peggs,
Try this:
Open your iBooks app on your iPad
Select the Store Button at the top
Select Purchased at the bottom
You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out
Then Sign In again and try redownloading your book
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

TS1702 Books I have purchased through iBooks have chapters missing with the comment error on line 1 document empty ... Anyonelse have this issue, any advice? And yes I have tried reinstalling, restarting etc. etc

Books I have purchased through iBooks have chapters missing with the comment, error on line 1, document empty at line1 ... I have tried reinstalling, restarting, any other advice?

If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

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.

IBooks stays blank - cannot add files to library

My iBooks library is simply blank. I cannot see the files I 'added' to the library. I cannot see the files it supposibly imported from my iTunes (which now no longer has a 'Books' section.
Even tho i can open pdf's on my iPhone 5 just fine, none of those files can be seen anywhere in iBooks on my Macbook Air (Maverick), even tho iCloud i enabled and works fine in all other apps.
When i try to add files to my library it asks me if i want to replace the files they match that are already in it (again, these files cannot be seen), but it makes no difference whether i tell it yes-replace or no-cancel at that point: my iBooks stays blank.
I cannot uninstall iBooks because it says it is required by OS X.
When i open the app, view its info or try to delete it my whole laptop laggs.
Someone please please help. I haven't been this frustrated with a computer since i was still using pc's

How can I read a book on my new macbook pro that I purchased in ibooks?

There is no way to do that except in the case of certain publishers which do not DRM their books. O'Reilly and Take Control are two I have heard of.
All paid-for books in the iBookstore say right on the purchase page that an iOS device is required to read them.

How can I read books purchased from iBooks on my Mac?

I'm completely new to the whole Apple world and have ran across this issue. How can I read books, that I've purchased through iBooks on my iPad or iPhone, on my Mac? Surely this is possible, but I just can figure out how Apple intends for us to do this.
If someone could please help me out with this information I would appreciate it.

Or I can just purchase them from a competitor such as Kindle and read them on my Mac
Sure seems short sighted on Apple's part not to have this functionality. This will drive my purchasing decisions to Kindle.
I'm sure that there has been plenty of negative feedback already directed to Apple for this decision. Does anyone know whether or not they have listened and if they have any plans to correct this issue?

Show itunes in the cloud purchases won't stay checked

For months now, when I open iTunes the option "show itunes in the cloud purchases" won't stay checked. I have to restart, sign out and sign back in and then the option only shows up half the time. This is VERY frustrating. What gives?!?

I think I restored a very old system and must install a newer itunes. Not sure how to erase this.
