Books not showing up on my iPad

I have books that my Mac's iBooks see which don't show up on my iPad.    If I uncheck "All books" in the iTunes "books" tab, I can scroll down and see the books, but then I check "All books" again (Sync Books is checked), and I don't see the books I'm looking for on my iPad.    iTunes says there are 318 books synced, and on my iPad, it takes a lot of scrolling to find books (Why can't there be an alphabetic short cut the way Contacts has?)
I do have some books that don't sort correctly - as in it getting confused about first and last name of an author (is that fixable by me?).    Maybe I'm just not finding the books.   Other book readers make it easier - or at least obvious - to find books.
My iPad's iBooks is set to show"All books", and doesn't hide iCloud books.
I just tested by telling my iTunes to sync all books to my phone.    A book I was looking for showed up there.    It still is missing from my pad.

i have had the same problem since upgrading to ios 8.  it happened again today.  connected ipad and opened itunes.  itunes shows 5 books on ipad when i in reality i have over 1500 books on the ipad.  the books on  the ipad are there, i can read them with no problem.  the only books that itunes will recognize are the purchased books.  I have talked to apple numerous times and finally have had  my case escalated to the engineering group.  It seems to me the problem is this.....whatever the ipad sends to itunes to show what is on it is getting corrupted in this version of iOS....never had the first problem with iOS 7.  i can't add new books because if i sync i will lose all of the books that are there now.  have restored the ipad a bunch of times, connected it directly to my imac bypassing the usb hub, restored as a new ipad thinking the backup might be corrupted.  the problem still exists and i think Apple needs to deal with it quickly because it does the same thing in Yosemite.  Tried it on the beta version of Yosemite same deal....  No way i am upgrading to Yosemite at this point....will keep the forum informed of what Apple says...

    I have a PC with Windows 7 that is synchronised with my IPAD 6.0.1. Synchronisation work fine for a while but now I see that when I add or modifiy bookmarks on my PC, it does not show up on my IPAD.
    What can I do.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • Is there a way to have last years Google calendar on my pc NOT show up on my ipad?

    Is there a way to have last years Google calendar on my pc NOT show up on my ipad? I need to keep a record of it for business purposes, but I need to free up some memory on my ipad.

    Sorry, had to sep out.  I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location.  Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact.  So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it.  Rick

  • Why are my photos on iPhone not showing up on the iPad?

    photo stream is on both the iPad and iPhone but the pics on my iPhone are not showing up on the ipad

    I'm not sure how true this is..... Then again I'm not sure I totally understand this whole cloud thing yet. But I have 742 photos on my photo stream on my iPhone and only 144 of them on my iPad. I turned off photo stream on the iPad and turned it back on and it loaded even less then the original 144 pics. I'm at a loss. They were all synced with my iPad until recently.  And if this statement is true about syncing only the new ones since turning on photo stream then my iPad photo stream would have loaded zero pics. What happened?

  • 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 Radio is not showing up on my iPad

    iTunes Radio is not showing up on my iPad now. It was there after my iOS 7 upgrade. Can't find it now. Please help. Thanks.

    It was there after you updated to iOS 7? You do know that iTunes Radio is only available in the USA right now. If you are certain that you should have it or that you did have it before, close the music app and reboot the iPad and them look again.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app thumbnail to close it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1414 How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?

    How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?

    You can't.  Usually you have only the most recent backup to choose from (I do).  Some users has said they get 3 to choose from (this is the max as stated in Apple literature).  You can't go back further than that.
    The usual advice is that all photos should be synced to a computer (too many users have lost some/all their photos doing a restore - don't trust them solely to icloud).  If you've been doing that, you can find them on your computer.

  • Email images are not showing in my new iPad.

    email images are not showing in my new iPad.  This was not a problem initially, but just started.  I use yahoo mail.  Any thoughts?

    This seems to be a problem with Yahoo! that started within the past few days.  I am assuming that you are accessing your Yahoo! Mail through Safari.  Until a fix is issued, you have two options -- (1) use the Mail app included in iOS, logging in with your Yahoo! account information or (2) when in Yahoo! Mail in Safari, click on your profile name/pic in the bottom left corner, choose Options, and then choose the last option, which displays your e-mail using the older classic version of Yahoo! Mail.  It's not as pretty or easy to manuever around, but at least it shows the images in your e-mails, which is the most important thing.  Both Apple and Yahoo! have been contacted about this issue, so hopefully a fix will be released soon.

  • HT1420 iTunes Match will not show on phone or ipad I have switched on iTunes Match on both units. PC is saying albums are in the cloud ?

    iTunes Match will not show on phone or ipad I have switched on iTunes Match on , On both units. PC is saying albums are in the cloud ?

    Hey there Dollyonline,
    Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like iTunes Match playlists are not syncing correctly to your iPad, even though you have already toggled iTunes Match off then on again. I would next turn iTunes Match back off, then close all the apps on the iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone then try turning on iTunes Match again to test the issue:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC.  I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad?  This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

    I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC?  I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad.  This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad.  Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    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.

  • HT201322 can i hide books so they do not show up on my ipad ibooks library?

    I would like to know if there is anyway to hide books in my library.  I tried the hiding and unhiding purchases and that was not what I needed.  My kids use my ipad to read books in my library that are books I bought for them to read.  I do not want them to be able to read books I have purchased for me as some of them have more adult content.  Is it possible to change settings so some of my books do not show up?

    ibooks don't currently have an age rating in the same way as films and apps do so there isn't a way to hide them on your shelf. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • 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?
