Q: No button available to update iBooks on 6gen iPod

On the purchased tab of the iBooks app, the red circle tells me that I have several updates for my books but what I don't have is an update all button.

I just have a screen that says I don't have any purchased books available to download. No other options.

Is there a fix for this because having to search every individual author until I find the ones with the updates is seriously annoying!

iPod touch, iOS 9.2.1

Hello there, not_chi.

It sounds like you're not seeing the ability to update your books in the iBooks app on your iPod touch. The following Knowledge Base article, although written for apps installed onto your iOS device, provides some great initial steps to try for troubleshooting:

If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn your device off and back on.
Check for iOS and app updates
Make sure that you're using latest version of iOS.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Regards.
