Books not appearing in iBooks

In Mavericks, I transferred all of my books from iTunes to iBooks (File > Move Books from iTunes). However, none of the books appear in my bookshelf/library when viewing in iBooks. I tried buying a new book while in iTunes, it downloaded, but it does not appear in my library either. These books are accessible in iBooks via a search but cannot be seen in the library.
Any suggestions?

I rebooted my Mac, and now the books appear in the library.

Audio books not appearing in iPod list

I have an 80gb 5g.
I recently purchased an audio book from iTunes and downloaded to my library. The book appears in the directory tree list under audiobooks and when I sync the ipod the audiobook item is also in the directory tree under "Devices".
However the Audiobook tab does not appear in the Summary on the RH window in iTunes and does not appear on the iPod as a heading "Audiobooks" To access the audiobook I have to scroll down the "artists" list - I find this rather strange.
Anyone having the same problem - or am I missing something?

I will go look to see if my audio book shows up like yours did.
My issue sounds similar. I bought a book from itunes and downloaded it. I can listen to it on my laptop without an issue. When I move it to my 30G Video Ipod, it shows up in the AudioBook folder when I view that folder via the computer. However, when I disconnect the Ipod from the laptop, the audio book does not appear in the audio book folder.

New TOC Book not appearing in WebHelp output

Hi
My project is proceeding fairly well, considering I've only
been using RH for about six weeks - thanks, in no small part, to
the advice I've found in this forum. I'm hoping someone can help me
with a niggling problem I'm having.
My project is based on a textbook written by my colleagues.
RH has successfully imported all the header formatting from Word
and the resulting TOC is almost perfect. My problem is that my
header 1s link to sections of the book, so I don't have a header
that just gives the chapter name. If I do create these as header 1s
they give me a clickable entry in the TOC which leads to a page
with no content.
I'd like to have an entry in the TOC that gives the chapter
name but which isn't clickable, i.e. is only there so users can
orient themselves and see what each section is about.
I thought I could do this by creating a new TOC book in the
TOC, but not linking it to any page. I've done this, saved
everything and generated afresh, but when I view the webhelp
layout, the book I just created doesn't appear in the TOC. Is there
a way I can do this?
Thanks in advance.
Colin

Hi Colin.
You may be able to do just this with a bit of wizardry! Check
out the RoboWizard's
tips
'n tricks file. It has help on how to set-up redirect topics.
Create one of these and assign it to the book. The redirect topic
would then just redirect the user to another topic.

Books not downloaded on iBooks

Books appear dimmed on iPad after purchasing but can't be opened or deleted.How do I overcome

ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't made a Mac (nor PC) reader for them.
And they are different operating systems - iPads and iPhones run iOS, your Mac uses OS X.

Photos in Book not appearing after installing OS X 10.5

Hi,
I had a book project underway and when I upgraded to 10.5 the photos in the project were all replaced with gray squares. The page thumbnails are fine, and the photos are still in the library. Any suggestions (other than re-importing them all)?
Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

PDF files not showing in iBooks

PDF files in iTunes do not appear in iBooks on my iPad after syncing. Anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure you have followed the directions below copied from this article....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4227
Syncing and saving PDFs
To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, simply drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library.
To sync a PDF to iBooks on your device:
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the Devices list on the left in iTunes 10.1 or later.

Why has Library book not shown up on my kobo ADE bookshelf?

HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

I have created a book in ibooks author with a custom font when previewing on the ipad the special characters within the font do not appear?

I have created a book in ibooks author with a custom font when previewing on the ipad the special characters within the font do not appear?

'custom' font sounds like you may be working with a font that is unsupported on iOS/iPad.
Supported fonts are found in the pull-down font menu in the toolbar. Authors are obligated (mostly) to stick to that list.

Font size button does not appear when I read imported PDF books (in ibooks)

I imported several books in PDF forman in my iPad 2, and I can read them fine, but the Font size button (A A on the uper right corner) does not appear. I only have the brightness button (that only controls the brightness and nothing else), the Search and the Bookmark buttons. Any idea? Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin, I suspected that this would be the case but I wanted an expert oppinion. Thanks again.

Photos Do Not Appear When Dragged Into Ibooks Author

I formatted my images to 72 DPI .png files and when i drag and drop them into Ibooks Author I can see them, I can manipulate them, resize, add captions. When I do a test the images appear in the text view portriat mode of the Ipad but when in the landscape mode, the images do not appear. There is just a blank space with a caption. If I create a photo widget and drop the photo inside I am able to see it on the Ipad however that widget does not allow me to resize as I would like. Does anyone have a fix for this issue or an idea?
Thanks
Chris A.

Confirm your process here:
Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
...and try jpg for photos instead of png.
And remember - layout in landscape...edit in portrait. Always delete a placeholder image before adding your own.

Book title/cover page not appearing in exported file?

Hello, for some reason my book title page on the exported file does not appear the same as my preview copy.
On my bookshelf, my preview copy (which has a small 'proof' flash) has the cover design as produced in the Author app.
I have exported the file for somebody else to check the contents of file, when they download and open the file in iBooks the file has a white cover with 'Book Title' on it, not the design that appears in the preview file.
Many thanks

Books and pdf on IPad don't appear in IBooks on MAC

I've read through several solutions to this similar problem and none of the solutions work for me. I've uploaded several ebooks to my mac and they don't appear on the IPad. I've got content (PDF's) on my ipad that doesn't appear on my mac. For example, I've purchased 14 books that appear in the "cloud" and available for download on the Ipad but the purchases in Itunes show 2. I've updated my ipad, mac, ibook and itunes on both devices.
I've had my mac for 6 months and absolutely HATE it. I thought I'd be able to use it to work with files on the Ipad and that has yet to happen. I was hoping to have access to content across devices and that's not happening. At this point I'm feeling very disappointed in Apple products. I've even been to the Apple store and after 3 support people, they couldn't figure it out either.
I'm hoping someone here will know how to fix this.
thanks

What are the other solutions that you've tried ? As you don't say what you've tried I don't know whether you've done the following or not.
ebooks and/or PDFs that you've added to the iBooks app on your Mac will not show on your iPad unless you sync them to it, only ibooks bought from the iBookstore will potentially show in the cloud in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading on it. If not all of your ibook purchases are showing in your Mac's iTunes or iBooks apps (I'm assuming that you have Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac) then try logging out and back into your account on it and see if they then show.
If you are using the 'sync collections' setting in Settings > iBooks on your iPad and in the iBooks app on your Mac then that does not copy books and/or PDFs between devices/computers, all it does is if you put a book/PDF into a collection on, say, your iPad, then if it is also in your Mac's iBooks app then it will be moved into the same collection on that - but if a book or PDF is not already on it then it won't copy it onto it.
If you want the PDFs (and/or epubs) that are in your iPad's iBooks app to also be on your Mac then you need to connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes, do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your Mac's iTunes, and then in the iBooks app on your Mac do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them into it.
Similarly to get PDFs and/or epubs from your Mac to your iPad, connect the iPad to your Mac, select it in your Mac's iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync the books/epubs that you want in its iBooks app.
