Ibooks, ipad, itunes, ios 8 problem

i, like most people, have their ebooks from various sources, B&N, ibook store, friends, etc....  Here is the problem i am fighting.  I will load a number of books on my iPad some from ibooks, some from B&N etc.  All the books will load on the ipad and are checked in iTunes.  the status bar shows the books are there, if i look at what is on the device the books are  there, all is working well.
If i connect the ipad a couple days later here is what happens....
itunes has no books checked
on my device shows only the 5 books that i have purchased from ibooks store
all of the books are still on the ipad, but if i want to add another synching will erase all the books currently on the ipad and only sync the one i chose and the ones from the ibooks store.
this problem began with ios 8.  i have been in conversations with apple and have a case opened with the engineering people.  i was hoping 8.1.3 would help it did not.   Has anyone else had this problem?   thanks in advance for the assistance

Same issue here, iBooks on MBP retina shows list checked. At random instances of syncing, my iPad will lose every book, PDFs etc, except those purchased through Apple. I cannot duplicate issue, so I don't know why sometimes sync works fine and next time, entire contents of iBooks vanishes save Apple Store purchases. I also cannot find a way to permanently delete those books and/or pdf's I no longer want from iTunes "books" screen, so when syncing deletes files, trying to recreate what I want is pretty tedious, since I have to go through a list
of every book and pdf ever present on MBPr.
ANyone know now how to prevent the loss of books during sync fromIOS device?

  • ITunes cannot connect with this iPad Error/iOS 5 problem

    It appears that ever since upgrading to iOS 5 and opting to sync my first gen iPad wirelessly, I have been receiving an error message each morning stating "iTunes cannot connect with this iPad..."
    The wireless sync capability works fine, I plug my iPad into the wall when I come home, and it starts pushing and pulling all the new apps that I've downloaded in the day.
    It appears that iTunes is will regularly try to connect with the iPad while it is charging. At some point during the evenings, either my iPad will be asleep or my iMac will be asleep. I think this is where the connection problem is arising.
    Does anyone know how to change iTunes' frequency of wireless sync to a device that it is wirelessly connected to? Ideally, I'd like it to only sync wirelessly once when I plug the iPad into the wall.

  • IPAD 1 IOS Update Problem

    Hallo,
    i have a Problem with updateing to IOS 4.3.2. The Download starts and approx the half of the Download (296 MB) I get the Error -3259).
    I have had checked the firewall, turned off the firewall but still the same result. Tried only Download same result.
    When I download the IOS4.3.2 for my Iphone 3GS ist works well and without any Problem. Same PC, same iTunes, Firewall on.
    The same Error occours during the Update vom 4.3.1 to 4.3.2. But there I have had downloaded the IOS from an alternative Server and it works.
    Is it possible to download only the the IOS over http or ftp ?

    What apps that you can download will depend upon whether they are compatible with iOS 5.1.1, or whether the developer has an older compatible version of their app available.
    If the apps are free then you could try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it. That won't work with all apps - it's the developer's decision as to whether they have older versions available : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5919
    Or have you already bought/downloaded the app and still have a compatible version on your computer's iTunes that you can sync to your iPad ?

    Minor Problems:
    a) screen rotation locks, randomly
    b) Mail app identify 9 flagged mails, but the true is that no flagged mails exists
    c) ITunes identify few updates. When try to install .... Itunes inform they were installed !!!!!!!! After few attempts I'm able to install them
    Major problem:
    a) After selecting a WI-FI router the System screen became twice larger. Attempting to shut down the Ipad reduced the App window to the size of an Iphone. After that the screen became unresponsive. Shut down button was unable to off the ipad. Only the HOME+Suht down button pressed for more than 10 sec has reset the ipad.
    Connecting the Ipad2 to Itunes was OK, during this problem.
    Any one with a similar problem?

    I have an ipad 2, and recently updated it to ios 5. I dont sync music from my itunes library, instead i connect my ipad and directly copy music from folders to ipad icon that appears in itunes. After copying i changed the tags (album, genre etc.) of many songs. some of the changes were updated on the ipad and some were not. why? i did not face this problem earlier, with earlier v of ios. is it that i m doing something wrong? i dont want to sync my music from itunes as there is no music on my itunes.
    kindly help.

    I have the same problems, some albums are even duplicated. Info edits are not updated on the iPod. I use iTunes to sync, the changes are shown on iTunes but not on my iPod. What's wrong?

  • HT1904 My iPad iTunes no pen ,problem,help me.

    My iPad ,music,Facebook,iTunes ,twitter ,tv,photo,send massage,all open,thank you.

    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center and check the volume level of the device. Also check to make sure it hasn't been muted. The physical volume buttons on the side of the device sometimes change only the sound effects, not the speaker volume. They will only control the speaker volume if there is currently music/video being played on the device.
    If those controls do not bring your sound back, the earphones may be damaged.

  • IPad 2 IOS 5 Problem "/

    I have recently downloaded and installed a copy of IOS 5 beta 3 to my iPad 2, but didn't know i had to be on a Developer account to then activate the firmware..
    So now my iPad 2 is stuck in the activation setup & It now wont let me downgrade back to 4.3.3..
    What can i do.. ? !

    As the only proper way to get the iOS 5 beta is if you are a developer, the developer forums are the only way to get help for it : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa
    But from what I understand you can't downgrade from the iOS 5 beta.

  • In order to read a book in iBooks and listen to music in iTunes (multitask) I must reboot ( Ipad 2) iOS 5.1

    I am using Ipad 2 iOs 5.1.  Using latest version of iBooks and iTunes.  All apps have been updated and iPad has been synced with MacBook Pro (Lion).
    When I try to listen to music and read I have to reboot.  It works for a bit then quits again. I have scoured support and communities but found no information.
    Any suggestions? 
    Thanks

    ok... So maybe a little oops but heres what I discovered.
    I can listen to music via iTunes and read a book via iBooks at the same time.  I can not listen to a movie or music video while reading a book.  I suspect the iPad2 figures I must want to watch that video or read a book but not do both.  It would be interesting to see if this gets some support during developement because there are some cool concert videos that I would love to listento while I read.
    Thanks

  • I have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

    i have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

    first you plug your device into your computer, then you select the name of your device on the left side of itunes. then you select 'apps' from the top center of the itunes window, and you check the apps that you want to go from the computer to the device
    once you've done that, you press the 'apply' button in the lower right corner
    this will be the same for anything you want to go from the computer to the device
    you'll select the appropriate tab at the top, then only check information you want to go from the computer the device and then hit 'apply'

  • HT201412 iPad 2, ios 7.0.2; Apple logo when cover opened requiring a reset to start iPad even after system restored through iTunes.  Same problem with Lock / Unlock off.

    This problem only started after installing ios 7.0.2 on 3 Aug 2013.  The iPad must now be switched off before closing the magnetic cover or the system freezes displaying the Apple logo.  I think the lock up occures as the cover is closed as the iPad was quite warm when I returned to use it about 2 hours later.  The battery was fully charged just prior to the upgrade, but, after a system reset to get the iPad running again, I found the previously full battery down to abt. 20%.  I have tried turning the (auto) "Lock / Unlock" off but closing and re opening the cover still reveals a black screen with the Apple logo, and the need to reset.  I restored the iPad through iTunes but the problem still remains........any ideas any one.........APPLE ???

    Thank you for your perseverence.
    Yes I am the first and only owner/user of this iPad.
    No the iPad has never been jailbroken (or dropped, knocked, dunked or sat on)
    1) All Contents and Settings erased as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2110
         - Problem still exists -
    2) All Contents and Settings erased as per: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
         - Problem still exists -
    Both of the above was conducted on a clean install with no backups restored.
    The problem ocurred immediately after the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade. I have used the iPad every day since I got it shortly after version 2 came out and it had performed flawlessly right up to this upgrade. The upgrade was done wirelessly and the battery was fully charged. The iPad was disconnected from the charger before the start of the upgrade and no problems were encountered during the upgrade. I closed the cover on completion and that appears to be when the problem started. All subsiquent restores have been through iTunes 11.1.1.11 with no reported problems.

  • How can I transfer my iPad iBooks to iTunes library?

    I'm having a problem getting my iPad books into my mac and I really could use some help. The situation is, my mac got stolen a few months ago and I finally could get a new one. I also have an iPad, where I had thankfully stored all my iBooks. They're backuped to iCloud cause I could restore them to said iPad (using iOS 6) just using my Apple id. But most of them weren't bought at the iTunes store but downloaded from other places. The only thing I can see in iTunes (v. 11.0.2) when I connect the iPad is the ones I bought at the iTunes Store. How do I do to get my old ones in iTunes and (now that I know how hard this is) in my mac to do another backup somewhere else than in iCloud?
    Has someone done this before and could help me? I've been looking for it for hours and I can't seem to find a solution. I'd be very grateful if someone could point me out in the right direction. I mean, they're there! How do I get them? Help!

    Thank you. That would have worked too, but before getting the answer I found another solution: what I finnaly did was use Detunes to copy my books from the iPad. It was quite fast too. Any of those could have worked quite nicely.
