Hello I purchased a iBook,but it won't download. Before it said I couldn't because, I didn't have enough space, but deleted a bunch of programs and it finally downloaded but it just won't finish. I tried to remove but it won't let me, and it won't finish downloading. Please help
 
Hello - just to get started, you might want to provide some information on your iPad, i.e. model & storage (e.g. iPad 2 w/ 32 GB) - also, did you check 'Usage' in Settings to see how much storage that you have at present (likely more now from your description). I would suggest the usual steps when an app is misbehaving as quoted below; if starting w/ the 'Force Close' make sure that iBooks is not open (will not show up in the multi-task bar if opened). Good luck and let us know if this helps. Dave :)

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
 
Sure I have a ipad 3 with 32 gigs and have about 4 gigs left under usage and the book is about 1.3gb. I'll try and give the options you provided until then. Thanks again, much appreciated
