Backing up e-books from iPad to iMac

Hi! I use different apps: Stanza, Kobo, GoogleBooks, Kindle and iBooks, of course. How do I back it up to PC? "Transfer purchases" only syncs iBooks, and it does not deal with Stanza etc. Hundreds of books I've got for free from Stanza are not free any more. I'd hate to loose them. So, how do I get actual e-books FILES from iPad to my iMac?
Thank you

  • I backed up 6000  photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6 to new Western Digital External Engine "My Book." In attempting to COPY the pictures to My Book in order to free space on HD, I made a mistake. When I first dragged the iPhoto 11 Library folder to My

    I backed up 6000+ photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6.7 to new Western Digital "My book" successfully, I think! But when I attempted to COPY my photos to it in order to free up space on my HD, I made a mistake. When I dragged the iPhoto (11) Library to My Book and re-named it to "iPhoto Library.old" nothing happened. So I dragged it again, re-named it again (same name--that was the mistake, I guess!) and then it took about an hour+ to do its thing. When finished and I launched iPhoto by holding down the Option key, the dialog window listed two libraries: "iPhoto Library.old" and iPhoto Library.old (default)". So now what? It seems that I still have the originals when I open iPhoto, and do I have two copies, also? Should I delete one of them and if so, which one and how? Or should I eliminate both of them and start over again? And if so, how do I do that? Right now, neither my HD nor the My Book have changed the number of GB available or free since before I began this process. Will the numbers only change after I actually delete my original Library AND empty the Trash? I appreciate any light you can throw on this subject for me. I could lug it all to the local Genius Bar, but now I'm afraid to unplug anything for fear I'll lose everything! Thank you, you wonderful, bright people. (An 83-year-old Grandma, trying to keep up a little, at least)

    Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but  maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
    But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
    Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
    Thank you so much for  beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message  that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
    So your kindness is very much appreciated.

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

  • Transferring Phone Book from iPad to iPhone 5S

    Hello, I'm trying to tranfer phone book on ipad to iPhone 5S. I defined the same icloud accounts in both. I connected to wi-fi. But still cannot syncronize. I also tried connecting iPad to itune. Backed up. Restored from iPad to iPhone. Did not work.
    How can I start the syncronization of iCloud manually? What can be the problem? One thing on my mind. iPhone 5S is IOS 7.0.4 but ipad is still the old style. Can that be a problem?
    Thank you in advance for your support!!!

    If you are reffering to photo stream...
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
    If you are reffering to restoring from back up...
    When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.

  • Should iMessages sent from iPad or iMac show as sent messages on iPhone?

    Should iMessages sent from iPad or iMac show as sent messages on iPhone?
    So when having an iMessage conversation as the advert suggests. You can carry it on using any of your os devices, but only the messages sent to you appears on all the devices but the messages sent by you only appear on the device you sent it from.

    Yes, if you have everything set up correctly and all of your devices are synced then that should be how it works.
    Edit:  I appologize, I should have read your question more thoroughly.  If your devices are synced together, then the entire conversation should show up on all devices no matter which one you sent it from.  If you are having trouble with this working, visit this thread and follow the instructions on page 1.

  • ITunes crashing when trying to sync books from iPad

    When trying to sync books from iPad to iTunes, iTunes crashes causing Microsoft error message. Any ideas?

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

  • Transferring old photos from Ipad to Imac using usb cable or local wifi?

    Can anyone tell me how I transfer old photos from Ipad to Imac?  These were originally on a PC (now disposed of).  I can see how to transfer new photos from Camera Roll using Iphoto, but my 10 year archive with 1000s of photos appears stuck on my Ipad.  I have a very slow internet connection, so I can't send them across by email and would like a solution involving the usb cable if possible. 
    Worryingly this question appears several times in old threads but appears to be unanswered, but I will be pleased to be referred to the right thread with all the answers - if it exists!
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    Connect the iPad (USB) to your Mac then launch the Image Capture app. It's located in your Applications folder.
    You can import photos from the iPad using that application.
    You can even designate where you want to the photos stored on your Mac and which app you want to use for editing from the bottom of the Image Capture window.
