Backup books on iPad

I have several books on my iPad - mostly on iBooks, Kobo and Kindle Apps.
What is the best way to backup these books onto my desktop ? Can this be done with iTunes ?
Thanks.

I don't think there is anyway to share with others, but they are backed up at Amazon,

    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.

  • MacBook Pro 17" iTunes can't sync address book with iPad Air

    Can't sync between MacBook Pro 10.6 OS ver and new iPad Air (bought 2 days ago) cell 32gig.  Have been to Apple shop at Garden City WA, helpful but seems very little knowledge of 10.6 OS.  Have attempted upgrade on MacBook to Lion OS, persevered and seemed to work.  Except now the MacBook won't boot, even choosing drive unit, just spins the icon.  Even left it for a few hours just in case it needed time to sort itself out.
    Back to Apple shop first thing in the morning, getting MacBook up and running is first priority followed by syncing address book with iPad.  If can't sync guess I'll have to return it as having them communicate is why I brought the iPad, something lighter in my brief case instead of carrying the MacBook around.
    It became tiring being told the MacBook was old technology, having spent money with Apple upgrading the MacBook drive & memory to cope with Final Cut and Creative suite.
    Any advice most welcome!

    Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

  • Can't sync Address Book to iPad

    I have a new iPad and have Snow Leopard on my iMac with all software up to date. I have configured the iPad to sync over WiFi. Using iTunes, sync works fine for Calendar and Safari bookmarks. But I can't get iTunes to sync the Address Book properly. (I have iCloud Contacts switched off.) What happens is that the Address Book group names are copied to the iPad, but the groups are empty once they get there.
    I can create new contacts on the iPad and they work OK, so it's not that I don't know how to use the Contacts app. I can even create a new contact entry on the iPad within one of the groups brought in from the iMac. But synching individual contact names within the groups from the Address Book just doesn't happen. (It doesn't work either if I initiate the sync from the iPad.)
    Any ideas why this happens would be much appreciated.

    I am a mac lover since 1982.
    I bought an ipad (3rdgen retina), to be sure that communication with my (old?) macmini core 2Duo 10.6.8 would be simple.
    After hours and hours reading posts on forums, I have understood that sync between Address book and iPad will not work "OTA" (over the air i.e. through icloud ?).
    The best I succeeded to get is :
    * safari/icloud <==> ipad/contacts sync (both directions, within a minute, with iCloud Contacts switched ON)
    * ipad/contacts (or iCloud?) <==> address book sync through USB  with iCloud Contacts switched OFF upon a manual backup demand.
    Apple used to be more intuitive !
    To reach my goal, i.e having iCal and Address Book synchronized between macmini and iPad without any manual action, I am looking toward "owncloud" on my NAS ; this, at least, will avoid that these personnal datas will be stored elsewhere than on my disks, on a "cloud" whose I have not (yet?) understood mechanism.

  • Restoring Backup to new IPAD did not transfer content of Clash of Clans App

    My son's ipad had a screen issue so upon contacting Apple support they kindly booked me into the local store for a consultation, fortunately the device was under warranty, whilst on the phone I asked specifically about backing up content for 2 specific games that my son has spent alot of time on, Clash of Clans and Minecraft.  The advisor took me through the process of backing up the device to the itunes store.  I repeated the same process on the morning of the appointment and then went into store as expected the device had to be replaced.  We restored the backup to the IPAD whilst in store, unfortunately the Clash of Clans content does not seem to have restored, but the minecraft one has.  I asked the Apple engineer why this was and he just said it must have something to do with the App.  Is their any way I can restore the game to where he was?, frustratingly in the game under the clan you can see his base? Help I have a very distraught son.

    The backup will only work for the same device, not for a new (and better) device.
    Contacts are at http://contacts.live.com where you sign in with your Microsoft account. Once you set up the same Microsoft account as you used on your 800 contacts and calendar will sync right back and you will also get access to documents stored on SkyDrive for that account. If you had any other AES compatible account set up previously and had contacts synced there they should also come tight back to the 925 once you set up the account.
    Text messages will be lost however, WP7.x has no backup facilities like WP8.x has.

  • TS3992 I recently dropped my ipad and had to get a new one.  I backed up the first I pad and used the icloud to reload all my data on my new ipad.  Now when I go to backup the new ipad it says I cannot because I don't have enough ICloud storage available.

    If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
    However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
    Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
    Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
    Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended.  Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
    You won't be able to get text messages back.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I backup my new iPad Air to my old PowerMac G5

    I'd like to backup my new iPad to my PowerMac G5 running under Leopard.
    However, the latest iTunes version compatible with Leopard is iTunes 10.6.3 which seems not to recognize the iPad: No device shows in the Devices pane of iTunes Preferences window ...
    I've read here and there that the minimum Mac requirements are Snow Leopard / Intel and iTune 11.
    Is there a 3rd party app that could help and that would not relie on iTunes.
    Thanks

    Use iCloud to backup the iPad. Many users don't use their iPads with iTunes at all anymore. Personally, I would never rely only on iCloud, but I would guess that millions of iOS users are now using only iCloud and not backing up with iTunes at all.

  • Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

    Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

    If you got them from iBooks, then no. As far as I know, iBooks are linked to the Apple ID that downloaded them. If you got them via Kindle or the such, the apps may have a sharing function.
    If it's another app, then whatever  the rules of that app says is what works.
    If you're looking for e-books on a budget, check out your local library. Many have e-books you can check out for a period of time, and they either work with an app or are PDF files with some sort of time limit encoding in them

  • IPhone 4s backup restoring on iPad 2?

    I have a iPhone 4s,  I just purchased an iPad 2. Can I restore my iPhone backup to my iPad so I can play my games without losing any progress and have the sync between both devices?

    I successfully restored the iPhone backup to the iPad but I did have a number of issues. But I was able to solve them
    1.  The iOS on the iPhone was 5.1. The iPad was stil 5.01 so I had to upgrade that before I could do anything
    2.  The iPhone was 64gb iPad 16gb. So the first few times it didn't take but it did on the third try. After the program data was transferred over. I had 8gb of "other data" before I even had any apps, music, or video on the iPad.  I figured out what apps were the ones that had all of their data on the iPad already without the app. I installed those apps and deleted the "other" data. Which gave me the use of the rest of the memory.
    3.  The photo albums would not delete off of the iPad but after switching the photo directory to sync and then deleting them. Everything was fine.
    4.  I had to disassociate the iPad with my computer for the app Documents to go. The computer got confused because the iPhone and iPad were the same device and it wouldn't work. 
    A few bumps but all of my application data and game setting and progress is right.

  • How to make a full backup of my iPad without using iTunes

    I need to make a full backup of my iPad.  I am using the Vudu app and have many movies downloaded to my iPad.  I have performed a backup of my iPad from iTunes onto my Macbook Pro.  The mobile backup files on my laptop are not nearly big enough for the 20+ movies (at lease 1/2 to1 GB each).   Because of this I do not believe iTunes has made a full backup including the movies.  I want to avoid having to re-download all the movies if/when the iPad drive fails.  I want a complete backup such as Time Machine or using some other external hard drive or app on my MacBook Pro.
    I bought a Seagate Wireless Plus 1TB Mobile Cloud Storage with Built-in WiFi Streaming (STCK1000100) external hard drive and installed the Seagate Media App.  I can, via the app on the iPad, see the device and copy to and from it.  But, it only allows access to music, movies in iTunes (not any movies in Vudu), and things like documents on my iPad.  It does not allow access to all the files inclding system files stored on the iPad.  I also tried another Seagate non wireless external drive that I connected directly to the iPad but the Seagate Media app does not communicate with or recognize the device from the iPad.
    I also bought DiskAid software that supposedly will make a complete backup of an App on a mobile device and installed it on my laptop.  I was able to make a complete backup of the Vudu app from the iPad onto my laptop, but in a test could not restore it to my iPad.  The backup file, though, was the right size, about 26 GB.  The DiskAid techs are looking into that.  I was able to use DiskAid to backup another app in a test (Hertz).  That app made a backup of the Hertz app onto my laptop, I deleted the app on my iPad, then I was able to restore it.  But right now the restore option is not working for Vudu.
    Another option would be to copy the movie files off of the iPad onto my Laptop, but the iPad does not appear in the finder window on the Laptop.
    I have about decided my MacBook Pro laptop will have to be the main repository for all the downloaded movies, since I can make a Time Machine backup of everything. 
    It is very frustrating to not be able to make a full backup of everything on my iPad.
    Anyone else have any ideas?   Apple - when are you going to provide a way to make a full backup of an iPad?

    I recommend Super Duper as well. I use it batch mode to automatically back up my iMAC every night at 2 am. It's saved my life a couple of times- once my disk crashed (under warranty)and what could have been a disaster (1000's of irreplaceable photos) was a 2 day inconvenience.
    Now and then I boot up from my backup on my firewire drive, wipe, check and reformat my internal hard disk, copy back all my files and I'm good to go

I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network
