I lost Internet connection while downloading a book through iBook app. Now it won't finish. If I go to the iBook store, the status says "downloading" I can't delete it or get it to download. Anyone have a suggestion?
iPad, iOS 6
Same thing happened to me. Here is how I solved it, finally. To remove the stub of a book on the iPad, I synched the device with iTunes on my computer. I made sure I removed the checkmark next to the book in question on the Books tab. When the device finished synching, the book had been fully removed from the iPad. Then I just went back to the store on the iPad and was able to easily download it. Whew!
I have the same problem, but it happened when I downloaded a sample of a book so I can not do the solution offered by Beachdogz. I would just buy the book but I can't because it says downloading so there's no buy option. Actually it says downloading downloading (twice) if that helps.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Have you tried my solution? I think it would work just as we'll with a sample as the full book. Samples show up in my iTunes on my Mac, same as full books. Good luck!
I tried this. I synced my iPhone with computer and unchecked the book stuck downloading. Synced it again, and when I went to my iPhone the book was still in there and still trying to download. I am going to ry again, but the book stuck on my phone won't go away. I would just like to delete the thing. I think it keeps trying to download and drains the battery on my phone.
Lost connection while downloading a book. Can't get it to finish after reconnecting. Status says downloading but nothing happens
