How to Troubleshoot Nook for iPad

Nook had several glitches when the iPad 2 was released.

Whenever the iPad updates its software, third-party apps such as the Nook app have to adapt to these changes. This is especially true when the iPad undergoes large changes, such as the upgrade to the iPad 2. Generally, it takes the developers a few days to work out any kinks. When they do, they offer an updated version of the app, which is compatible with the new iPad software. You can solve your Nook app problems by ensuring all your software is up to date.

Instructions

1. Tap the "App Store" app on your iPad, then tap "Updates."

2. Choose to download and install all available updates. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.

3. Connect your iPad to your computer, then open iTunes.

4. Click your iPad's name under "Devices" on the left side of the iTunes window.

5. Click "Check for Updates" in the center of the iTunes window. If a dialog box appears saying that updates are available, choose to download and install them. Leave the iPad plugged in while these updates install.

6. Test the Nook app. If you still experience problems, reset the iPad by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 10 seconds.

Tips & Warnings

• If your iPad continues to malfunction, you may need to restore it. Consult the manual for this process.

• If you have many books and run multiple apps at once, your iPad may freeze. Try running only the Nook app.
