Having trouble with backing up my iBooks and possibly a corrupted file

I have several iPad ebook and PDF purchases that were not from the iTunes store that I would like to backup somewhere, either in the cloud or on my Mac.  I cannot figure out how to do this.  When I tried syncing books in iTunes, it wants to replace everything on the iPad with what's on my Mac, which would be a disaster.  If anything happens to my iPad, I will lose these books. How can I back them up?
In a related question, the issue that started all this was an epub I purchased from LexisNexis, a rather large book (8 mb, thousands of pages). The first time I opened it, it was fine, but after the second time I think the file got corrupted because it freezes whenever I try to navigate anywhere in the book. If the file has gotten corrupted, I have no idea how to delete the book so that I can reinstall it.  I have no idea what to do.  I know this is technically two questions in one post (sorry) but I'm really at a loss.  I need that book, and I'd really like the peace of mind knowing my books are backed up somewhere if my iPad dies.  Thanks!

iCloud only syncs contacts in your iCloud group, not contacts from other services such as hotmail.  You need to copy or move the contacts from the Hotmail group to the iCloud group in order for them to sync with your iCloud account.  If you have both groups in a contact managment program on your computer that is syncing with your iCloud account you can drag and drop them between groups there.  If not, you'll need to use an app like Speed Names to do this on your phone.

    I finally figured it out.  Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • I'm having trouble with a multi channel acquisition and download with PXI-5922

    I am having trouble with getting data out from both channels of a PXI-5922.  My software seems to be working, but when I do the fetch there is no data for the second channel.  I am using the same format for all of the channelList inputs (0,1).  I've checked the instrument handles and anything else I can think of, but this is my first time trying to collect data on 2 channels of a digitizer.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi schliepe,
    Try checking your code against an existing example. The
    Developer Zone Example: Independent
    Channel Configuration with NI-SCOPE is a good VI to reference. Also note
    that there are several examples that come with the NI-SCOPE driver. They can be
    found in Windows by going to Start »
    Programs » National Instruments » NI SCOPE » Examples. Additionally, if you find that the examples are not working either, verify that both channels are functioning by running the
    NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel.
    Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great
    day!

  • I'm having trouble with the sync all feature and i'm not sure what to do about it

    i'm using Lr 5.3 on a windows 8.1 and a really fast laptop "can render movies in after effect in minutes"
    the problem i'm having is when i click the sync all button and the top loading bar moves like everybody, only the pictures viewed in my bottom slider will change even if i leave it for hours and this happen with big and small number of pictures so i tried reinstalling it and that didn't work
    i do a lot of timelapses and i thought maybe if i export the video they will show with the edited settings and that didn't happen and it showed the pictures that i havent moved to view blured, like the same blue when you move fast between raw pictures
    so i t tried exporting them and that worked fine but takes ages, the pictures still didn't change in the viewer but all the exported pictures did and thats not helping me in my job !
    FIND ME A SOLUTION please cause i'm dealing with 500-1000 picture here and i need to move the slider every 20 sec or so every picture is changed and this takes time and effort  guys !

    It could be overheating..........thing is ....i never realy though ibooks got that hot....the ibook does not even have a cooling fan...at least my blueberry 300mhz doesn't.
    I would have to say sounds more like your hard drive may be starting to fail you.

  • Having trouble with Itunes recognizing my Ipad and Iphone.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • Having trouble with making new internet tabs and windows

    When I open a new tab or new window, some small blank black windows appear and disappear right away. I have tried running virus scans, uninstalling unnecessary programs and deleting memory but they still pop up. Also after the blank windows disappear, there is a "not responding" after the blank windows disappear, for about 10 seconds and then resumes normal

    Well first, the version of Firefox you are running is EXTREMELY old and insecure. Please update to Firefox 11 right away. [[Updating Firefox]] can help you with that.
    After doing that, if you are still having issues, Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

  • I see that, it seems, everyone is having trouble with Firefox 6.0.2 and Adobe Flash 10.3. It's nice not to be alone, but is there an answer? My problem is I am continually asked to download the flash player. So how do I solve this situation?

    Whenever I open PDF it informs me that Adobe Flash Player is not found. When I check the box to add it, I am taken to Firefox and given a choice to add it to Explorer or other systems. I have chosen both in the past and added it more than a few times. My system is XP service pack 3, already installed Flash Player 10.3.181.34 and Firefox 6.0.2. In checking your web site I see that others are having this problem too. I did not see how to solve it. Is there an answer?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Is anyone else having trouble with backing up before 2.2 update?

    I downloaded the 2.2 update around 4 PM (eastern), and have been trying to update most of the time in between.
    I connect the phone, enter iTunes, and tell it to upgrade. It extracts the downloaded update, and begins backing up the contents of my iPhone. And it continues backing up, with absolutely no progress, forever.
    When it goes over 30 minutes without even starting to back anything up, I disconnect it and try again. It did actually begin showing some progress on a sync earlier, but it stalled at about 5%, and didn't move a pixel for an hour.
    I'm using a 2G iPhone, not jailbroken, and it's connected to a Macbook with iTunes 8.2.
    Could this just be overloaded Apple servers? Has anybody had similar issues, and does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    It's also not showing any progress when I try to sync it. The iTunes version is 8.0.3.

  • Having trouble with Google 2 factor authentication and Mac Calendar

    Hello!  I recently started using Google 2-factor authentication on my Google Apps (Pro) account, and have successfully configured my gmail settings in OS X Mail so that inbound/outbound work correctly.  Here's where the problem is:  OS X uses a single password in the system account settings for calendar/contacts/notes, etc, so enter the login/password once and check the boxes for what services you want to use. But Google sees these as distinctly different apps, so when I enter an app-specific password, it only registers for one (i.e.:  contacts), but not for another or the rest of them (like calendar).  Has anyone had experience in setting this up? How can you get app-specific passwords to work with the rest of the OS X system applications besides mail?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I already tried this several times prior to posting here.  The system won't let me add the same account more than once, and continues to prompt me for a password multiple times for each service.

  • Having trouble with using variables in functions and after functions..

    Morning,
    I have simplified this, as it represents the core of what’s I obviously don't know how to do. 
    Problem:
    Say I populate that variable by reading in a list if IP addresses from file, finding the line that matches the hostname and place that string into the $IPAddress variable for use later throughout the script.   I did not run into a significant problem
    until I decided to convert the routine of looking up the IP address and populating the variable into a function.   As soon as I made it a function, and called that function, the $IPAddress variable only had the data in it until the function completed. 
    Once the function had done its work, and had placed the data into the variable, I expected that “new” data to be available after the function had completed..in that variable.  But it’s like the $IPAddress variable in the main script is a totally
    different data then the variable with the same name that’s used within the function. 
    So I think this demonstrates some of what’s kicking my butt.. 
    $IPAddress = "This is the wrong data”
    Function TestFunction () 
    $IPAddress  #call to display the contents of the variable at the start of the function. 
    $IPAddress = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the text ‘Goober’" 
    $IPAddress   #call to display the contents of the variable at the end of the function. 
    TestFunction
    $IPAddress ​
    The output I get is: 
    This is the wrong data
    "Please enter ‘Goober’"  : where I enter Goober
    Goober
    This is the wrong data
    Huh? 
    I had expected:
    This is the wrong data
    "Please enter ‘Goober’"  : where I enter Goober
    Goober
    Goober
    What good is the repeatability of a function if it’s output is lost? 

    THis seems to work.. IS there any reason NOT to do this?
    $Global:IPAddress= "This is the wrong data” #"
    Function TestFunction{
        Write-Host $IPAddress-fore green
          $host.ui.RawUI.FlushInputBuffer()
         $Global:IPAddress =
    Read-Host -Prompt
    "Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
        return$Global:IPAddress
    TestFunction
    return$Global:IPAddress
