Trouble downloading book to IBooks

I tried purchasing a book on my Ipad.  The "purchase" green icon was unresponsive, so I went onto IBooks on my Mac and successfully purchased and downloaded the book.

 

I then went back to the IPad and tried to download the book.  It apperas under my purchased books, but never downloads, I just have the black progess (or, in this case, lack thereof) bar across the bottom.

 

I have rebooted the Ipad.  No change.

 

I cannot see how to download the book from the Ipad to rray and start again.

 

What other options pls ?

Using wifi controller apps via internet sharing

Hi,

 

I'm using internet sharing to feed wifi to my iDevices instead of using a standard router.  What I can't figure out, is how to get apps like Logic Remote, ProCutX, and other controller apps that use wifi to communicate with my system to work.  They simply do not see my computer.  Is there a way to set this up where I can use my computer as a wifi hotspot without losing the functionality of my controller apps?

 

Thanks!

Using airplay, I want to stream music from my Mac to my ipad in a different room

Like the question, I've connected my ipad to my Mac & my Apple TV but I would like to listen to music from my Mac in a different room and have the sound come from the iPad, I can control itunes and Apple TV from my ipad what is useful if I'm in the same room but what I really want is to know how to control the sound to come from the iPad, I can listen to stuff from cloud but the internet has a nasty habit of cutting out so airplay would be cooler.. Does anyone have any ideas?

Unable To Share Photo Stream With Anyone

ve been navigating the very unintuitive process to share photos on both the Photos App on the iPad as well as iPhoto on OS X.  I understand the iPhone adds yet another different way to do the same thing, so we'll skip that for now as this has more to do with the actual service it seems since I cannot share photos with anyone else from either the iPad or the Mac.

 

In short: When I try to add a name to the list of shared persons, I enter the e-mail address in the field, and when I click away and click back on the Mac, the e-mail address is gone. I am the only person listed on the shared list of people. Similarly the iPad gives me the ability to add a name, but doesn't show me who is already subscribed ... at least it doesn't show me (the owner) as it does on the iPhoto App. When I enter an e-mail address there, it shows up under the "Subscribers" for an instant, then immediately dissapears. iPhoto on the Mac confirms that they were not added to the subscriber list.

 

OK, so what goes on here? I could understand it might be an upgrade related issue if it didn't happen on both my Mac and my iPad. So is this yet another Apple bug of a promoted feature of iOS 6? Or am I just not understanding how to do this? I can't find any instructions anywhere to confirm whether I am doing it correctly.

 

Bottom line: I cannot add ANYBODY to the shared subscriber list the way it is adverstised that I am supposed to be able to.

 

Is there some criterea that I am overlooking for they type of subscriber who can be added? It doesn't seem to work with .mac, or .me iCloud addresses, nor any others. So I am at a loss.

 

Thanks ...

iphoto on ipad no longer sees my photostream since IOS 7 upgrade

iPhoto on my ipad no longer sees my photostream in the albums page of the iPhoto app since IOS 7 upgrade??

 

I can see my photostream and shared photostreams in the ordinary Apple photo app on the iPad. Prior to IOS 7, all these photostreams were visible in the iPhoto app's albums page. What has changed? Its' most annoying as I was relying on my photostream in the iPhoto app as my source of photos for my journals.

 

Any suggestions please???

Need to prevent iPad from deleting playlists when connected to desktop

After working great for over year, now when I connect the iPad to the desktop, instead of syncing the playlist, the iPad deletes the playlists from the desktop.  I had backed up to a separate hard drive, and was able to restore (only lost two months of updates).  Tried to sync a second time and again lost the playlists.  Restored again from detachable hard drive, and synced the phone with no issue.  Tried the iPad again, and lost the playlists again!

 

What is going on?  Can I ever sync the iPad again?

Help with iTunes and iPad

I bought some songs in my PC with iTunes and they are not being downloaded to my iPad. Well most are but five of them. They have the cloud icon next to them but when I click on it nothing happens. In the iTunes app in the purchased section I can see the five songs missing but again when I click on them I get an error stating that I should try again and nothing happens.

 

That's my first problem with the iPad and iTunes.

 

The second problem is:  I got a disk from a different source as it wasn't in iTunes, anyway I added it to my iTunes libraries to add it to my iPad and I iPod. We'll the iPod after connecting it to my computer all the new albums were added flawlessly but my iPad when doing the same process the albums that I added we're not included in the sync process.

Deleted videos still in iTunes

I set all my devices to manually manage so copy mp4 video files to my iPad and delete locally after I watch them. However, the deleted files still show in iTunes when I reconnect. The space usage seems to adjust appropriately on the iPad but I'm concerned the space isn't really freeing up and it could cause problems if I download something new. It's also a bit of a pain to have to delete every files twice. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there some setting I'm missing?

 

Thanks!!

Re: Installed updated ios7.1.1. Favorites screen gone, can't create Favorites.

Try clearing Safari, then close it completely and reset your iPad.

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.

In order to close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

ITunes gift

Recently I made the elementary "newbie" mistake of gifting a digital $10 music CD online from my iTunes account here in Canada to someone in the UK....of course he couldn't access the gifted CD from his UK account. Question - does anyone out there know a way of "retrieving" from iTunes the paid-for but uncollectable CD so that I can either download it for myself, or even re-gift it to someone else but in Canada this time?

Apple TV Sound Drop after 20 Mins of Play. Also on iPad Movie play Back.

Over the last week my Apple TV and iPad Mini have started to drop the sound on play back, after 20 mins.

The stream via itunes on the Apple TV is stored on my Synology DS213j going to 2 ATVs one hard wired the other wireless.

Itunes, Synology, Imac and ATVs all up to date with latest software and firmware.

I have reset every thing rebooted and still the problem is there.

Also done the sign in out of everything fingers crossed thing.

The strange thing is I noticed when I watched a movie saved to my ipad the same thing is happening!

This happened on a plane away from home set up.

This must be a software issue in the ITunes family.

Is any one else having this issue and have you found a fix, or do we need to wait for an Apple acceptance of the issue and a fix?

Can I create a printed calendar in iphoto with ipad. Don't see that option.

IPhoto used in past by others in family to create a family calendar as Xmas gift.  This year it is my job. Downloaded iPhoto for iPad from App Store. (Paid $4.99). Now can't find path to create a calendar.  Description of iPhoto includes calendar, but seems ambiguous on use of iPhoto iPad app for this. Maybe can only do calendars on the Mac version?  Can I use iPhoto for iPad to make a calendar?

I purchased a song from the iTunes Store but it won't download?

I purchased "Wasting All These Tears" by Cassadee Pope earlier today. I had about $8.00 on my account, so I used that to purchase it. The money came out of my account balance, but the song won't download. An error message keeps popping up. I thought it was because I hadn't installed the latest update, so I installed it and it still didn't change anything. Next I tried powering it off and back on and that didn't help either. I even reset my wifi. Then I saw on here that someone had the same problem and  had to download another song to get the first to download, so I tried that. The second song downloaded with no problems, but "Wasting All These Tears" still won't download. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Itunes for the non pc user

In terms of disclosure, i am raising this question obo my 72 old father (a non pc user)

 

How is one meant to manage itunes when one is an ipad ONLY user.

 

The current problem is that having preordered a book on itunes, he is now having difficulty in downloading it.

 

There seems to be no way in which he can view his order history, and no easy means thru which he can identify his preorder and now manually download it to his device.

 

I have turned on automatic updates (for books) in the hope this may sync, though even this is a concern since it limits his ability to manage his usage, if, for example he deletes a prior book(s) which in turn chews thru his data allowance by resyncing.

 

Surely Apple recognises that there are and will continue to be many tablet only users who neither wish nor have access to itunes on a full PC.

 

Having purchased this book via his library/store on his device, surely there is a means by which he can access his history and choose to now install/dl his purchase.

 

Itunes has deducted the funds from his account, how exactly does he get his actual purchase?

 

I have even tried logging in on my own device, his preorder does not appear in purchases within the library, accessing his account via the browser indicates no prior purchase history (yes i have found it via logging into itunes on my pc; but that still doesn't help me get it to his device).

 

It almost seems that Apple is specifically limiting tablet users from fully managing their account relationship from the very devices they promote.

 

Even some direction on how to identify his preorder and get it to his device would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.

 

When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.

 

I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.

 

One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.

 

One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.

 

I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

Why is Remote app album view different than iTunes?

I use the Remote app on my iPad to control the streaming of my PC's iTunes music library to my stereo.  I like the Album view because I can see most of the album covers. In iTunes 11.1 on my PC, album view displays the albums alphabetically by artist.  i.e. all Beatles albums are listed before any Rolling Stones albums.  But when viewing the same library on my iPad using the Remote app, the albums are listed alphabetically by album title, not by artist.  So each artist's albums are scattered all over.  I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for an album to play, I think about artists, not titles of albums.  But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the way the Remote app orders albums.  Am I missing something?  Is there any way to configure the Remote app to display albums in artist order?

home sharing between itunes (11.0.5) on imac and ipad mini

I activated home sharing to play my itunes music library on my ipod but i have a number of issues when using app music on my ipod:

 

1. when selecting artists i can only see 4 of them, while there are many more in my imac library

2. if i select the menu "album" on the music app on ipad mini i can see many but not all of them

3. ordering of album by artist does not work: the ordering is random....sure not alphabetic

4. often after palying one or two songs (located on the imac) on the ipad mini everything stops

 

 

is it the app music (called "musica" on my italian version of ipad) that is not working well or is there some problem with the homesharing setup or, again, is itunes that is creating the problem?

 

going through the troubleshooting steps suggested by apple.com did not work.

Resetting encrypted backups?

I just recived my new Ipad I ordered from Apple, and was planning on loading it up from the backup from the backup I set up from my Iphone 4s. However, I quickly discovered that my backup data was encrypted with a password. Now, I know I have noone to blame but myself here; but I have tried every possible password I can think of, and none have brought me any success.

 

By now, I've pretty much given up on cracking the old backup, as Apple somehow doesn't have a "Forgot my password" option for such a crucial datapoint. So, I was wondering: if there is any way to delete the old encrypted backup, and set up a new one without a password? And, if I do so, will it delete all the app data on my Iphone?
