My iBooks keeps trying to load two programs that I have long since deleted. I have no idea why. Neither has any reference to it on my device, nor a file in iCloud.

What gives, and how can I stop it?

Cheers

I’ve reset it and it’s only two months old or so I was told by the store.

I feel as if there was a switch and I was given some bad device.

There have been problems with it since day one, and when I call all I get is platitudes.

I will never buy another apple device, my work has been completely hindered by this. The auto correction on it doesn’t work! How can that be? The spell check doesn’t spell. I get words no where close to what I was writing.

I can’t cut and paste?.. why ?

It’s so frustrating, I have headphones and when I plug them in and I even brush lightly against them the music stops and then starts again and then stops. Which means I can’t do anything late at night.and now today I got a redeem gift from a writer friend and her fifth page book which I redeemed nine hours ago and it has not downloaded still.

Why? I changed the setting for it to download and still nothing?

I got a p,up because the original when missing, did it speed up the recharge?

No , it still takes seven hours to recharge no exaggeration,…..even writing this had been an ordeal.

They advertise themselves as the best computer company in the market and yet they are so far short of good it’s mind boggling , my last tablet by Samsung which cost me two hundred less than this was a two hundred times better. Never again. Never

Hi Lexington,

Are you using iOS 13? If so, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > App Downloads (under cellular data) and change the setting to Always Allow. Then restart the phone and try again.

The reading now does not load the book when I go back to read a book, on my iPad pro.

Super annoying and frustrating.

This is an app a lot of people use it should do better and have more features than it does.

How can I fix it as it is getting worse?

If I am quick enough I can press the library key and scroll through my books until I find the book and start reading then. I have hundreds of books, a major investment that I just want to use.

I am not getting the books that I had no trouble downloading a few weeks ago.

What is happening as I am missing out on some books that I wish to read!!

Hi Carole,

Try turning off Touch ID and use a passcode instead. Or reset your Touch ID and see if that makes a difference. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode to change these settings.

Hi there,

Apple Books isn’t yet available for the Apple Watch–but it’s coming with the latest watchOS 6 that releases this Fall.

Here’s what Apple says about the new Audiobook app for Apple Watch in watchOS 6:

With the new Audiobooks app, Apple Books titles in your Reading Now list are automatically synced to your watch. In the middle of a book, you can’t put down? Just tap the cover and hit play to pick up where you left off, no matter what device you were using last.

So stay tuned later this year!

Hi Morgan,

If you already purchased the book, you shouldn’t have to purchase it again. It should be listed in your account as a purchase.

First, close all open apps:

Close an app
1. On an iPhone or an iPad with no home button from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen
2. On an iDevice with a home button, double-click the Home button and swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close
3. Swipe right or left to locate the app you want to close
4. Swipe up on the app’s preview to close it
5. Repeat for all open apps until all you see is your home screen

Then, restart your iPad and try again to download the book.

If you continue to be unable to download it, make sure your iPad has sufficient internal storage space to download the book (Settings > General > Storage)

Once you confirm there is enough storage, and you still cannot download it, go to Apple’s report a problem site and submit it.

Hope it works!

The book would not download and kept showing the iCloud logo.

The book never would download.

I followed one of the instructions on how to fix it which was to deleted the book and go to the purchased book to try to Redownload it.

But it is making me buy the book again after it had already been taken out.

I don’t want to buy the book again, especially if it has the same problem.

How can I get this book to load and not have to purchase it again.

Thanks, that’s fixed it.

Hi Karen,

I want to make sure your text size needs adjustment only in Apple Books or iBooks.

Check that other apps look normal by opening up Safari, Mail, or another app. Make sure the text size is what you expect.

If the problem is isolated to Apple Books alone, it’s easy to change the font size!

1. open apple books
2. tap reading now from the bottom tabs
3. tap open any book (not a pdf but a book)
4. tap in the upper-left corner of the device to show the book options
5. tap the icon in the upper-right corner that has two letter A’s
6. in the pop-up menu, tap the larger letter A to increase the text size–tap it until the size on the book below looks right
7. you can also change brightness, font style, background color, and turn on Scroll view and auto-night theme in this menu

hope that works!
