Backing up .epub files from iBooks

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to back up your iBooks .epub files? They're not purchased eBooks, rather, they're fanfiction downloaded from fanwork archive like http://archiveofourown.org/ (if you check the works, there's a neat little link where you can download the .epub and open them in your iBooks). I've got some two hundred files saved in my current iPad. I'm planning on buying a new iPad soon.
Does this mean I'd lose all the .epub files I have in my current iPad?
Is there a way of creating a back-up of these files so I could download them into my new iPad?
Thanks in advance.

If they are in the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - that should copy epubs and PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks.

    Can I take my converted epub file--from pubit! on my PC--and publish it to iBooks from my PC?

    Thank you. I was just wondering if i could do it myself. I have since converter my novel to ePub
    format and have it in my itunes book library and on my iPhone. All text and the cover look great, so I had hoped I could upload to apple on my own.

  • How do I transfer epub files from my laptop to my ipad

    How do I transfer epub files from my laptop to my Ipad Air

    If they don't digital-rights-management on them (if they do then check the site that you got them from for which apps you can use for them on your iPad) then you can add them to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Add To Library menu option - if using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then add them to its iBooks app via File > Add To Library.
    Then connect your iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and use the Books tab to select and sync the epubs to your iPad's iBooks app

  • Switching back to delete file from PC?

    I recently selected a few files that I wanted to remove from iTunes, but didn't want to delete from my hard drive.
    Now I want to switch back and delete files from my hard drive, but when I select a track and click 'delete' it doesn't give me the choice of deleting from iTunes or from hard drive.
    How do I get the option to delete from my hard drive back?

  • How to transfer files from iBook to reader?

    How to transfer files from iBook to reader

    The first step is to export the PDF from iBooks to your computer (this cannot be one on your iPad or iPhone). Connect your iPad or iPhone to your syncing computer. Open iTunes. Select your device (how to do this depends on which version of iTunes you are running). Click on the Books tab at the top. In the current version of iTunes 11, I had to choose to view by PDFs. Then I could drag a PDF from the iTunes window to my Desktop.
    Then follow the instructions in this document to import the PDF(s) into Adobe Reader:
    http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2532
    Not so easy, I'm afraid. Easier if you just keep copies of your PDFs on your computer.

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • Epub file for ibooks

    Is it possible to upload the epub file which was made by other software program.
    For example, I had samsung computer, then i made epub file with eBook stylist 1.0 Beta. and tranfer it to Mac Book Pro and upload it using iTunes producer??
    Is there anyone who had successful story??
    and If you are, what program did you use for epub file??
    If nobody were there, is this only way to make epub file using the ibook author??

    Yes, I did try to upload my epub file on ibooks store, but it was failed with this messages.
    - Apple’s web service operation was not successful
    -Unable to authenticate the package: Mind.itmsp
    So, i was searching for solving this problem on Apple Support Communities .
    but there was no exact answer to solve this problem.
    I made this epub file using ebook stylist with my samsung computer and transfer this file to my friend's Mac Pro.
    then had the failed results like above.
    I used this epub file when I uploaded it on amazon kindle and google play which mean they have no problem on its own. 
    Is there any successful story to upload the epub file which was made with other software program without Mac?
    I'd like to figure it out what the problem is.
    Thank you.

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.

  • Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • I cannot recover my pdf files from ibooks after upgrading to os 6

    Does anyone know how to recover pdf files from ibooks after os 6 upgrade?

    In your next-to-last post, you said: "... when I recovered the iBooks app, it was empty due to having a different owner of the app."
    I'm suggesting you change the owner of the app and maybe then it won't be empty.
    You can delete/remove the app and get your own from the app store and install it.  Maybe then you'll see your PDFs.

    Not one that anyone but Apple uses, no, sorry.
    Use Pages, instead.

  • Have downloaded a .epub file from a third party publisher to my pc. Publisher advises that  iTunes is needed to move the file to my iPad. iTunes installed on  both pc and iPad. What's next?

    Have downloaded a .epub file from a third party publisher to my pc. Publisher advises that  iTunes is needed to move the file to my iPad. iTunes installed on  both pc and iPad. What's next?

    Drag or copy the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in your library (default location C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media), or add it manually using File > Add File to Library ...  If the file is compatible with iTunes it'll be added to your library and can then be synced with your iPad.

  • Transfer epub files from sony reader/pc to playbook

    I am having trouble transferring epub files from sony reader/pc to playbook and then finding them on the playbook after copying completed?  Please help!

    I just did this the other day for my wife, took some books that she purchased on her Sony Reader and moved them to her new PB. You need to download Calibre ( free) and also download software that will remove the DRM from the books that are on the Sony. I bought it from www.ebook-converter.com , was $29.95 US. I've read that there are also free ones out there but I went with this b/c it was mentioned in several posts. Go to your reader library on line, download the book, use the DRM and Calibre and then you'll have the file to transfer to your PB. You'll also need an e-pub reader, several on the Appworld, I used Book Reader.Of course I bought and paid for the Sony books so I see nothing wrong in just getting them to a devise that I want to read them on. This same process works for library books that you check out that have DRM enbedded. I Hope this helps.
