Book not showing on iPad

I bought a PDF book (not from the iBookstore) and added it to the books in iTunes for my iPad Air and then ran the sync and it showed the reduced available space showing the book was transferred to the ipad, but when I open iBooks on the iPad the book isn't there, only the two previously transferred books both bought from the iBookstore. I sync my iPhone and iPad with the Mac and not the iCloud but the other books transferred from the Mac. And iBooks on the Mac wobn't open the book, it's open it in Acrobat. This is a *** with iBooks or is it just how it works?

Well, not quite.
IBooks will open PDF's in iBooks you buy or get free from the Apple iBookstore.
The PDF book you opened isn't from the iBookstore and yet you opened it in iBooks.
It will sync PDF's you load into iTunes but iBooks on the iPad won't recognize and list them. I added the PDF to iTunes, it showed and uploaded it, but iBooks didn't show it.
You may have added it to iTunes, but when it showed in the 'Books" tab when the iPad was connected to your computer, and you selected it, it could only have been recognised through the 'Books' tab which shows the books/pdfs you have in iBooks, not in iTunes. So, as I said earlier it's useless adding PDFs to iTunes for syncing. If it's not showing up in iBooks on your iPad you're either not syncing correctly or there is something wrong with the PDF. Here is a link to syncing pdfs and ebooks:

I don't use iCloud for backups as the backup through the iCloud removes your backups on your Mac. It's not an option, it's what it does, and once done, unless you have exported other backups, all you backups are on iCloud.
Rubbish. Backing up to the iCloud doesn't delete any backups on your computer. Where'd you get that from?

Audio book not showing on ipad

I can not see my audio books on my ipad without searching for them from search ipad. I have synced the ipad with my computer using wireless and cable but nothing shows up in music > more for audio books. I am using the updated 7.0.3. I synced my iphone and they show up. I origanally downloaded the books on my ipad, but I have synced with my computers itune a few times. Any help would be appreciated.

When you use the search box are you able to then select the audiobooks and play them, and do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music ?
Have you tried closing the Music app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if you get the Audiobooks tab at the bottom of the Music app when you re-open the app ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Music app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.

Shared folios not showing on iPad

I am teaching a class and have asked my students to share their folios with me so we can view and interact with them on a projected iPad. When I log into the Folio Producer, I see twelve student projects. However when I sign in to the Content Viewer on my iPad three of them are not showing up for download. I can see them in the browser and look at their pages if I open the folio.
Why can't I get these to show on my iPad (it's a pretty new retina display iPad).
I have a final critique at 1:00 today, so I'm in a hurry!
Thanks

Check the sizes of the folios. If it is more than iPad 3 size it will not show on iPad. Preferred folio sizes are 1024x768-iPad2 and 2048x1536-iPad3. You can see iPad 2 content on iPad 3 but you can not see iPad 3 content on iPad 2.

Books not showing up in iTunes HomeSharing.

I have an odd problem. I am sharing my iTunes library from my iMac on the local network (ran through an Airport Extreme). On my girlfriend's MacBook Pro, the iTunes library shows up nicely, and shows/plays Music, Films, Podcasts etc... EXCEPT... Books.
That is to say, the Books category is showing up in the list of the Shared Library on the MacBook Pro, but it is empty, while I have a dozens of books and PDF's in that library. As mentioned, Musics, Films and everything else that is supposed to be shared shows up as it should, and plays.
Both Macs are running OS X 10.6.8 and the latest version of iTunes, 10.4.
Naturally, Books are ticked in the Sharing tab of the Preference tab of the iMac iTunes library.
I can't for the life of me figure this one out. Any thoughts anyone?

I am having the exact same issue, but running my shared media folder on a Mac Pro Lion Server. On that computer everything works fine. Neither our Lion iMac nor brand new MacBook Air see any books in the shared iTunes Media folder. They see and can access everything else. Books are a mix of epubs and pdfs. Prior to tonight's 10.4.1 update, the books list was at least visible on my older MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. Now that has stopped working. Installing 104.1 did nothing to fix books not showing up in the shared library on the Lion Macs.

Itunes store does not show on ipad when i launch app its pages are blank

itunes store does not show on ipad when i launch app its pages are blank

This indicates there might be an issue with the time configuration on the device.
Go to Settings > General > Date and time. See if Set automatically is switched to on. If so, switch to off and ensure you set date, time and time zone manually and correctly.
Power off the device (hold sleep button for four seconds, then slide to power off), then power back on.
If issue persists, switch Set automatically back to on, and if not resolved then restore the device.

Itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i deleted itunes and reloaded, it showed up for awhile, said it was restarting my ipad and now is not showing up again, any ideas??

My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!

Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera. This is nothing new or different.
When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.

TS1424 Purchased Keynote for iPad and it does not show in iPad

Purchased Keynote for iPad. Download complete. Does not show on iPad. How to resolve?

If you can't find it on any of the iPad's homescreens or app folders, then can you find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) - there is a limit of 11 homescreens after which apps are accessed via the spotlight searchscreen. If not then if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app does it show as downloaded ?
If that shows it as downloaded but you still can't it then you could try a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPad books not showing in iTunes wish list

Some time ago I added some iPad only books to my iTunes wish list, however they do not show up.
They are still included in the count of items in my wish list and the price to buy all but I can't see them at all.
Does anyone know how to either view them or clear my wish list?

Just want to bump this topic. I've got the same issue: added some books to my Wish List in the iTunes Store via the iTunes app on my MacBook, and they don't show up when I look at the Wish List. I then deleted every item in the Wish List, but the Wish List still lists two items even though the Wish List is empty. There doesn't appear to be any way to delete items in the Wish List if you can't see them. Weird!

Some images not showing on ipad when book is previewed

When I preview the book in progress, some images only appear in the thumbnails, not on the full page view. These same images were showing up a few versions ago. Other images are showing up just fine.

Hi KT and Anyone Else Who Could Help,
One thing I noticed is the images that are not showing up are all captioned, but with background shut off. I have a few image galleries as well, but those ARE showing up.
Some images are jpegs, others are pngs, but there is no pattern or correlation between image type and showing up, not showing up.
Besides, they all showed up previously.
So I removed the caption from one image and now it is showing up!
But I am nearly certain that in an earlier version WITH captions, they all showed, and I would like to keep the captions.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Belinda
