Settings-iBooks-show all purchases=off?

I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

"If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
You can. Why do you think you cannot?
If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
You can then listen to it on your computer.

I have a Kindle and the new iPad 3. I downloaded one of my Kindle books to my iPad. Now I want to remove the book from the iPad. When I highlight the book, the "device" key that I think I am supposed to use disappears. Please help.

I have a Kindle and the new iPad 3. I downloaded one of my Kindle books to my iPad. Now I want to remove the book from my iPad. When I highlight the book, the "device" button (which I think I am supposed to use) disappears. How do I get the select the book and get it off the iPad and back to my Kindle? Thanks for your help.

To remove the book simply touch and hold the cover on the main page. A little pop up will ask, remove? Say yes. The book content will de deleted. The cover will remain on your main page with a little down arrow so that you can redownload it if you wan in the cloud view. In the device view, it simply disappears.
Note at the bottom of the page are a couple of switches, labeled cloun and device. The device switch shows you books on your device. The cloud page shows your whole catalog, and the down arrow allows you to bring down anything in your catalog to the device.

Can't delete free books from iBooks

I tried to download a bunch of free books from iTunes. The download just won't work. Finally I decided to just try and delete them from my bookshelf. Nothing I tried worked;
1) Selected the undownloaded books in question and pressed "delete". Nothing happened. They are in the "Books" folder, not "purchased"
2) Set "Show Purchased" in the iBooks settings to off.
3) Deleted the iBooks App from my iPad. Deleted the books in question from my PC. Even went into the folders and deleted them. If I've deleted the content from my ipad, and from my computer AND told iBooks NOT to sync from iCloud AND told iTunes NOT to sync any books at all, then how is it that iBooks is still showing me books I clearly do not want anymore on my device. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall iBooks, those holding images for the books in question still keep coming up.
It really doesn't say much about a book app when the simplest thing (deleting unwanted books) needs a visit to the support pages.

Books not actually on the iPad will not show up unless you have Show All Purchases set in teh setting app. Even then they will be indicated with a small cloud icon. These will always be in teh Purchsed collection, but can also show up in other collections if you choose to place them there (moving to another collection doesn't effect the Purchased collection).
To delete a book, tap Edit (upper right corner), tap each book to be deleted, Tap Delete (upper left).
If for some reason this doesn't appear to be working correctly, two things to look into:
Open the Settings app > iTunes&App Stores. Check to see if automatic downloads are tuned on for iBooks. If so, turn it off.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Since you have such heartburn over the need to visit this site, you may want to consider having a look at the user guide. It may prevent the need to do so: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Unable to add contacts to address book from Mail

When I mouse over a phone number (or address) in an email message in Mail, an arrow appears that lets me add a new contact with that phone number directly to address book from mail. Unfortunately, when I fill in the information and click "add to address book," the little window disappears but the contact does not appear in my address book.
Any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks!

Thank you so much V.K. Your solution worked for me too.
BTW, I actually had two similar files in the app support:
AddressBook-v22.abcddb AND AddressBook-v22~.abcddb
I deleted both, but only the first one gave me the cannot empty trash message.

Missing book from collections

I have just made a large book of 440 photos and text and exported it to Blurb. It was sitting ing the collections box as are other books I have done. There was a quality problem with the printing and Blurb are happy to redo it. But the book has disappeared from my computer the only thing I can find with an extensive search is a PDF of the cover. Any ideas as there was a lot of work in this project.

Not sure where your problem is but try this: Under the collections folder in the library module you should see your book. This is not the collection itself but instead is next to a small book logo under the particular collection that contained your photos that you used in the book. If you don't see it hit the arrow to the left of the collection and you should see the book in a folder below that collection. If you double click on that it will open the book and there you will have an opportunity to edit, add pages, etc. If you just click on the collection itself and then go to the book module it will act as though you're creating an entirely new book from that collection, so you actually have to open the book itself.

I upddated my I Pad and installed I Cloud now I connect find the I Pod feature, I download books from the library when I connect it to the computer it shows the book in the I Pad but I cannot find where to open it

I updated my I Pad now I cannot see the I Pod Icon that is where the books I download from the library where before. I also noticed that I Pod Icon disappeared from my I Phone. When I connect my I Pad to the computer it shows the book there, but I cannot figure out how to access it.

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

Can't load the book from Adobe to my Pandigital

I downloaded the book to my adobe account. I plug in my Pandigital and drag the book to the ereader. On the computer, I can open the book from the ereader icon. When I unplug and open my ereader, the book is not there. Am I missing a step. Sorry if this is redundant but I am a new user.

It's hard to answer you without more information.
First, you say you drag the book to the ereader, but we need to know if you
use ADE to do this. If so, then the Pandigital ereader is authorized and is
showing up in the bookshelf side of the Library screen of ADE (the left hand
side) and you have gone through all the steps you need to go through -
except for closing out (see below). Be aware, though, that, if you have not
registered your Pandigital device with Pandigital, that could be the
problem...
Next, presuming that ADE and your Pandigital are working together, you
should be closing ADE before you try to unplug your Pandigital, giving it
time to synchronize the new information before you're going to see the
book.... And you need to make sure that you detach it logically from your
PC (another assumption) via the Eject function or the Safely Remove Hardware
function or Windows may cause problems.
I can give you details of the steps in the middle if you need them.
Hope this helps!

HT5557 How do I permanently delete books from iCloud?

Trying to delete books from iBooks/iCloud. Help.

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with apps and iOS 7, after hiding them on my computer's iTunes I've been having to then log out of my account on my devices and then log back for them to be hidden on that device.
If ibooks that are only in the cloud are showing on the bookshelf in the iBooks app then you can turn that off via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

I want to delete books from my iPad but they are still there ....how do I get rid of purchased books?,

You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

HT5557 Downloaded book from email sent from iPhone where did it go?

I downloaded a book from an e-mail from iPhone on my iPad. Where did it go?

What app did you download it into via 'open in' in the Mail app ? If you downloaded it into the iBooks app then it should show in the bookshelf in the app (assuming that it's compatible with the app i.e. if it was bought from Apple or it's a digital-rights-management free epub).

HT4059 my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

my iPad mini cannot download books from iTunes - help

Hi, debikay45.
Test to see if you can download a free application from the App Store. If this was successful, test downloading the book again. Try closing all open applications and power cycling the device, test the results. Make sure you have an active Internet connection. If these results were unsuccessful, see the steps in the article below that refer to iOS.
Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)
Make sure the issue is with the iTunes Store only. (You need an Internet connection to access the iTunes Store).Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for the iTunes Store. This also tests if the main ports 80 and 443 are accessible. If the website works but the iTunes Store does not, it is most likely a firewall blocking the iTunes software or servers. If this is the case, follow the steps in the "Blocked by software firewall" section below.
Test using another device.If possible, another device, ideally on a different network, would help troubleshooting any iTunes Store issues most efficiently. If another device on another network has issues, the iTunes Store may be undergoing maintenance, and will be available soon.
Test using another network.
Connect your computer or device to another network and testing helps determine the next step. This is also helpful if multiple devices are affected.
If your device can connect to Wi-Fi and a cellular network, larger downloads may not be possible over the cellular network.
If the issue disappears while connected to another network, you may need to work with your support options to open access to:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
albert.apple.com
gs.apple.com
ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
mzstatic.com
Note: iTunes may use the fully qualified version of these addresses for additional security.
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
It is critical that your date, time, and time zone be correct:Windows:
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
Click "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options" and then click Date and Time.
Click the Date & Time tab.
Make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time and then click OK.
Mac OS X:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
In System Preferences, click Date & Time.
Enable the option to "Set date and time automatically" if it is not.
Click the Time Zone tab and adjust the time zone to match your current location.
iOS:
From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.
Remove any restrictions that may be causing the issue:
Windows:
It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account.
Refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
You can also check using iTunes Diagnostics if you are recognized as an administrator by iTunes.
Mac OS X:
It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account. To become an administrator account, from the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
In System Preferences, click Accounts.
You may need to unlock the lock in the bottom-left corner of the window to make changes. If you can unlock the lock, you are already an admin user.
Under the account you are using, it may say "Standard." Enable the option to "Allow user to administer this computer" to make the user an admin account user.
From the Apple () menu, choose Log Out.
Log back in and return to using iTunes. Test to see if the issue is resolved.
iOS: Restrictions can limit your ability to purchase some content. Check restrictions via Settings> General > Restrictions if you're unsure about those settings.
After isolating the issue to iTunes by following the above steps:
If the issue still occurs and iTunes displays an alert message with a specific code, please see the section below titled "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" for additional troubleshooting steps.
If the issue is still not resolved and there is no specific code or alert message, you can visit the iTunes Store Discussion Board to try to find additional information for help resolving your issue:
You can also contact AppleCare to discuss your support options. Depending on your product’s coverage status, you may need to pay for support.
iTunes Store Discussion Board (Mac)
iTunes Store Discussion Board (Windows)
New routers or a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) may limit your ability to connect to iTunes Store. Let your router manufacturer or your ISP know about the ports and servers in this article and confirm that they are compatible.

Airplay Interactive Books from Ipad to Apple TV

I used to be able to Airplay interactive children's books from my iPads (3rd Gen and iPad mini) to my Apple TV (latest).
However, recently, the visual part disappears once I press the button the books to start reading.
I use a Time Capsule (latest - 2bg) for our wirelss router, wifi is strong. Music and internet movies are excellent when using airplay.
Wifi transmit rate is usually between 350 to 450mbps.
I have another airport express on roaming network with my Time Capsule in the bedroom - it is connected to the Time Capsule by LAN.
I tried resetting my ipads and Apple Tv and Time capsule but its still the same, no picture when using airplay for interactive children's books.
Anyone can help?

Does the AirPlay icon show up when you play music on your iPad?

Delete books from iCloud

I tried to delete old books from iBooks. Instead I ended up with multiple copies in the cloud....how can I delete them.

You can't delete them from iCloud as they are permanently kept on your purchased list. However, if you tap Collections, then tap Books (rather than Purchased Books), you should only see the books you haven't deleted on your bookshelf.
