Why can't I download purchased books?

hello all
i have a problem downloading previously purchased books from the store.  They show up with the cloud symbol and download when I touch the icon. In my bookshelf the download completes then a greyed out cover appears and the Book disappears.  I have tried downloading some books a dozen times. I have wiped my iPad and restored it from backup.  I have also synced to my desktop via usB where the books are downloaded to but nothing works.  I am running the current iOS 8.1.1on an iPad 2 Wifi.  what should I do?
i habe no idea what to do. Never had this as a problem until iOS8.

I am having the same problem, Ive never had it before....paid £5.49 for a book and it just says downloading when it is downloaded it will appear in your library.......does anyone know how you get a refund?

  • Why can't I download a book from computer to iPhone

    I downloaded a free book Easy Recipes 123 from iTunes (via the code on the SBUX freebie card). I can find it on the MacBook, but when i select the download book option in iTunes it tells me that if i do that then all the songs, movies and TV shows will be removed from my iPhone. This is crazy and absolutely ridiculous when i have only used about 1 GB on my phone. Is there a work-around for this or am i missing something?

    Are you using a different account on your MacBook, or is this the first time you sync to it?
    Changing the computer or syncing to a different iTunes account will erase the content on your device and replace it with the content of the new library.
    Back up manually by right clicking and choosing "backup". This does not include a sync, and you can use the  backup again after the device has been erased by iTunes. 
    Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure there is at least one contact and event set up on the MacBook, to be able to merge data.
    You can also download the purchases again for free on you Mac or device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Why can't I download purchased songs on new computer?

    Okay so I'm having a slight issue. I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm having issues. I am attempting to download my purchased songs. I am in iTunes and when I attempt to download it prompts me to enter my password. Upon doing this it starts to download then gives me an error message followed by prompting me once again to enter my password. I know this is not a wrong password for sure haha I've double and triple checked. I have tried restarting iTunes my computer an other restart based fixes. Just really unsure what is happening.

    Contact iTunes Support -> http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
    As I'm not sure why that would be happening...

  • TS1389 Why can't I download purchased Apps?

    I recently had to have the hard-drive for my Mac desktop replaced.  After this, the purchased apps for my phone wouldn't download.  The error message was that I hadn't authorized this computer.  If I tried to authorize it, I got the message that it was already authorized.  I finally de-authorized and then re-authorized it.  This successfully eliminated the message about the authorization, but the apps still didn't download.  I particularly need my ibank app and "Beat the Traffic."

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure   but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply.   When you get a extended car warranty, you don't   sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale.   You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens.   Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive.  That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not.   Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
    I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
    the purchase of it in front of me.  I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system.   I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
       I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time  and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
    I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually.  But I do have several boxes sealed here..  On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it.   Regardless,  my request does not seem unreasonable.
    Thank you

  • Why can't I download entire albums from my purchase history is iTunes on my iPAD?

    'The New IPAD'I want to download music from. My PURCHASE HISTORY in ITUNES onto my NEW IPAD. I would like to download an entire Christmas ALBUM by various artists! Now it is very tedious going into each of the 83 artists and downloading one song! WHY CAN I NOT DOWNLOAD (OR VIEW) ENTIRE ALBUMS OR EVEN SEARCH ALL MUSIC WHILST IN 'PURCHASE'! It seems like a major design floor from apple and as I have searched the Internet for solutions it seems I may be the only one!!! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!!! THANKS JJ

    If you have Not On This iPad selected at the top middle of the Purchased tab in the iTunes app, then tap on All Songs at the top left of the screen and then tap on 'Songs By Most Recent' at the top right and change it to 'Albums By Name' - does the album that you want to download then appear as an album on the right-hand side of the screen ? If it does then tap on it and will hopefully download the whole album.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?

    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro?

    Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro? Also, is there any way to print pages from book?

    In general if you want to read paid-for ebooks on your Mac, you need to buy them from one of the other sources like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks and use the free OS X and iOS reader apps which they provide instead of iBooks.

    To read a book on your computer, get the Kindle app for PC, and download the book you want from the Kindle Store.
