When buying books on iBook

When I purchase a book and it goes into my library it won't download instead it keeps coming up with the message:
'When this item is finished downloading, it will be available in your library. - OK'
I've tried downloading it on my computer as well, but it does the same thing.
It also has the cloud picture in the top right corner of the book.
How do I get it to download?

The cloud icon will appear on a purchased book that is NOT on the iPad but is available to be downloaded from iCloud. I assume that you have tried downloading the book by tapping that cloud icon?

  • I am unable to buy books on iBooks.

    The price shows up and sample shows up, but both buttons are greyed out and do not let me click on them. Why am I being blocked from buying? I live in Canada if that makes a difference?

    I have exactly the same issue with iBooks; I have an Apple account in the US but am connecting to iBooks store from Belgium. This works fine for iTunes Store, but iBooks just greys out all prices (even if I have previously purchase books on iBooks).
    A workaround is to purchase the books from iTunes on your MAC or PC and then just download them on the iPad. Not very nice to have a non-working iBooks on the iPad, but ... better than nothing.

  • Itunes freezes when transfering books in iBook

    I've been having a problem with transfering .epub file format books or .pdf file books in to ibooks via itunes. Whenever i drag and drop any .pdf file or any .epub file itunes freezes and doesn't respond. It happens when im deleting a particiluar book from ibooks via itunes as well. Itunes stops responding while its "Updating" files on the ipod touch.
    I have an ipod touch 4th generation running the latest os. iO5
    I've attached a screenshot so you can see exactly what im seeing, please help.

    Browsing these discussions will probably give you some hints.
    More Powerbook and iBook users have the same problem.
    Many of them could solve it by letting the CD 'spin down' (could take a minute or 2) and then running iTunes.

  • Why can't I buy books with iBooks on my iPad?

    I attempt to purchase books with iBooks on my iPad. I can neither purchase the book by clicking on the price nor download a sample. I have no problem purchasing items on iTunes Store and internet connection is fine. This problem has persisted for several days. Please advise.

    What happens when you try? More info would be helpful. In any case, the first thing to try is a reset, cures 99% of glitches. Hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Why my ipad (4th Gen) consume more power when reading books in ibook than surfing over wifi

    when i m reading my books in ibook it consume more power .I notice that power decrease 1% per 4 minutes

    Power consumption increases significantly when the screen is set to a high brightness. If you are using your iPad ins a bight environment, for example, outside, flourescent lights, etc. and have auto-brightness turned ON then the iPad will automatically increase screen brightness resulting in higher power consumption.
    Also using small changes in battery percentage to predict total power reserve is not very accurate.

  • IPhoto: solution when "buy book" generates an error.

    Hello all,
    I thought I post this. Maybe this will help others who face the same problem.
    I created a book in iPhoto. After clicking the "Buy Book" button, I received the message:
         <i>There was a problem contacting the Apple online store. Please try again.</i>
    I searched the internet and found several other people having the same problem.
    Several solutions were also given like:
         1. Temporarily tun of the firewall
         2. Be sure the select, in Preferences in iPhoto under Advanced the book store that matches the country of your Apple ID
         3. Be sure to have the correct and valid credit card data entered in your Apple ID
         4. Be sure the password of your Apple ID is correct
         5. Go to iTunes, "purchase" a free App and if you are prompted to accept Apples policy, do so and try again to buy your book
         6. Apple online store may be down or to busy, try again on a different time.
    However, none of these solutions worked for me.
    After digging further I finally found the solution (at least for me).
    If you have ever made, in System Preferences => Language and Text, under Formats any change, than "Region" will show "Customized" instead of your country. I live in the Netherlands, the default for short date is to show years in two digits. I changed this once (in the past) to show dates with four digits years.
    Resetting "Region" to match the country of your Apple ID did the trick.
    I was then able to order my book in iPhoto.
    Kind regards,

  • HT2534 How do I delete a credit card used to buy books with ibooks?

    I purchased a book through ibooks with my ipad.  I did not authorize a credit card to be saved and did not set up an account but it was there.  I did not intend to purchase the book and assumed they would need to ask me for payment - the book went through.  Now I do not know how to cancel this card so I will be asked for payment in the future.
    Thank you for your usual wonderful help.

    You can't delete a credit card unless you replace it with another.
    Simply enter some incorrect information if you want to stop the card being used.

  • Buying books for iBook on iPad from other countries - any ideas?

    Can anyone tell me if they have been able to buy books from other countries for iPad if they are not available in their own country.  I am from Australia and want to purchase "Cold Comfort Farm" by Stella Gibbons.  Thanks Elizabeth

    If it is not available in your country it is probably because Apple has not yet negotiated the required distribution rights.  The fix is to use another ereader app, like Kindle, Nook, or Googlebooks.

  • HT2534 how do I verify my payment information so I can buy books on iBooks

    how do I verify my payment information so I can buy books on iBooks

    Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
    Without a rescue email address, you can't reset them yourself. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • HT1035 Error when buying book - Localize

    Why do a get an error message - Localize - when I try to buy my book with Apeture?

    Re-enter all your account information, and you should be good to go.
    I.e. check the format of the zip code, if the number of digits is correct - 5 digits for US zip codes.
    Change the region in System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region to the same country as your shipping and/or billing address.
    And check your security settings at MyAppleID: Apple wants you to update your security settings. Can it be, that your password does not meet the security requirements (at least eight characters, one number, one capital) or that the answers to the security questions are not at least six characters long? Then you need to fix these, see:

    How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

    Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

  • Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?

    Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?
    how many books and songs were therefore lost when i had to wipe my ipad?
    this is SHOCKING from Apple... this is not in my domain of settings!!!

    In the iBooks application on the Mac, there is a checkbox to sync highlights and notes across devices. 
    I don't see a similar setting in the iBooks app on my iPad.  It may require iBooks on the Mac as a mediator.
    Also:
    Can I highlight text and make notes?
    Yes, iBooks includes built-in Highlight and Note features. Highlight any word or passage of text within a book. You can also create a Note from your highlighted selection. Review your Highlights and Notes by tapping the Table of Contents button and then tapping Bookmarks. Highlights and Notes appear in their own section under Bookmarks.
