'Hidden' books still showing up on iPhone and iPad

Hi guys ..
Before I go on, let me just say that this issue is already present in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5269888. However that thread isn't applicable to iOS 8.1 users (like me), as the solution suggested there doesn't work on iOS 8.1.
I have some books which I've 'hidden' using iTunes on my PC. However they are still visible on my iPhone 5 and iPad 3. If I open the iBooks app, and then select 'All' from the 'Collections' tab at the top, it lists the hidden books too, with the 'in the cloud' downward arrow drawn on them.
So how can I permanently 'hide' such books so that they don't show up here ?
One silly thing would be to just turn on 'Hide iCloud Books' from the 'Collections' drop-down. However anyone can turn this off and see the iCloud books.
So I'm in need of a more permanent solution.

Go to Settings->iTunes & App Store
Tap the Apple ID link and then Sign Out.
Open iBooks. You'll notice all of your iCloud books are gone.
Sign back in, and now only your unhidden iCloud purchases should appear.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • I have stopped getting emails (@me) on macbook pro, still receiving them on iPhone and iPad - any ideas??

    I am using @me.com, and have stopped receiving emails to my macbook pro, still receiving them on my iPhone and iPad through icloud any help??

    Two things:
    1st: In System Preferences, click on iCloud, uncheck Mail, if it's checked, wait about 30 seconds, and then re-checkit. That will redo your iCloud mail setting.
    2nd: Look at your account setting in Mail's preferences, it should look like:

  • ICloud albums in iPhoto are empty, but they show up on iPhone and iPad.

    I am opening iPhoto, and when I go to my iCloud folder the albums are their, but there are no photos in the album. My mac mini is all up to date and so in iPhoto. The odd thing is the photo albums are on my iPad and iPhone with all of the photos. Anyone know what I can do ti fix this? I have tried signing out of iCloud and that did nothing.

    Hi,
    I am still not sure where you are extracting it from.
    Messages comes in two version in Mountian Lion.
    At OS X 10.8 and 10.8.1 the version is version 7.0
    At OS X 10.8.2 Messages is updated to version 7.0.1
    This is a common form of update used since iChat 3
    However versions across OS X version do not work as some of the changes are too great and some cases the support folders have moved and even been added to over the different versions.
    As you say that the version you have works with a Test user the most likely "block" would be a corrupted .plist but you have moved all of these if I remember correctly.
    Go to Applications/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
    You should have several "A" looking icons made up of the pen, brush and ruler.
    Some should relate to your AIM/Apple IDs that can be used with the AIM Login in Messages (and other apps)
    Double click these to bring up the Info Panel.
    Click on the Access tab.
    Check that any name is allowed access by IMAgent, Messages. IMCore and Internet accounts.
    Repeat fro all names and IDS used in Messages.  (Jabber/Yahoo/Google etc)
    There should also be one that reads "iMessage: your AppleIDhere-AuthToken"
    Check this allows the same items.
    If the "Allow all Applications..." button is ticked then delete the item.

  • Unable to sync podcasts and tv shows to my iPhone and iPad.

    This happened with the update yesterday.  I have an iPhone 5 and iPad3.  Before I installed the update but after it was available, both devices showed they were over capacity with "other".  Updating iTunes and ios resolved that issue, but now, neither device is syncing correctly.  For example, iTunes shows that my iPad has the specific episodes of a tv show synced to my iPad, but the iPad itself only has the episodes that I had on the device prior to the updates.  Any idea?

    I am having the same problem! First season works fine, but the second won't sync!

  • Email quit showing up on iPhone and iPad

    I've checked my insight email account several times daily on my iPhone, but it suddenly quit working this week. It says it's downloading messages, then shows it's updated...but no new messages appear. I can check on my computer & thru Webmail, so I know it's not an email account issue.
    I recently updated to iOS 6. ???

  • Can I host my music or photos on a server and still sync with my iPhone and iPad through my MacBook Pro?

    My new MacBook Pro does not have enough room on the Flash drive to hold all my photos and music.  So I want to save them to a server, yet still be able to sync with iTunes on my MacBook Pro.  Any ideas?

    Nevermind.  I see you can change the location of your music files.  I'll try that.

  • Ibooks syncing between iphone and ipad

    Is there a way to keep both my iPhone and iPad books in sync between my iPhone and iPad?  Just like Amazon Kindle that you can read on one device and continue where you left off on another device.  Your placeholders and bookmards are constantly in sync.  I'd like to be able to do that without have to connect to my MacBook.  I thought this should be possible now with iCloud.

    My new iPad mini had the iBooks, Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections turned on by default. But my iPhone 4s did not. Snyc didn't work after I turned them on for the iPhone. But after a shutdown and restart of the phone, it worked. I also "stopped" the iBooks app on the iPad. When I relaunced iBooks on the iPhone, it asked me if I wanted to Sync with iCloud--I said Yes.
    Now bookmarks show up on the iPad (I had created the bookmarks on the iPhone).

  • How do I block junk mail from going to my iPhone and iPad?

    I blocked a ton of emails from Outlook on my work PC but they still come to my iPhone and iPad. The block on my PC did the job but for some reason, my phone and ipad cannot tell the difference. Please help! I cant stand getting bogus emails all day long!

    Sorry KT, but that answer is ridiculous.
    Since 2007 there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of messages on this discussion forum about the need for client-side email filtering on the iPhone.  Server-side filtering has two major problems:
    Many people using the same server/service have different notions of what’s SPAM.  I might need to see marketing messages from some firm I work with and ignore political messages.  You might work in politics and want to filter something completely different.  There is not way for a service to filter out SPAM unless it has individual data on what to filter out.  Programmers who write services choose to put common functionality on the server side and user-specific stuff on the client side because that’s the most effective solution.
    All good mail clients filter SPAM in some way.  Even Apple Mail.app filters SPAM using a relatively sophisticated algorithm. Thus the folks who do server filtering know that an additional, fine-grain, filter exists downstream from them. If they do more filtering upstream, they will make more mistakes, and users will get mad.  They are incentivized by every other email client to filter out only the truly blatant SPAM, and let users handle the rest with client-side filtering.
    There are other iPhone email clients, for jailbroken phones, so the market for this capability clearly exists.  Why has Apple gotten the answer wrong for 5 years?
    Frankly, my kids got me an iPhone for Christmas because they thought I was a luddite.  I’m looking to get out of the contract because I just can’t use it to read my email and my old phone was more than good enough to talk on. I’ve been an Apple customer since the Original Mac, but this is the first Apple product that just doesn’t work.

  • I lost my MacBook calendar when I performed the action required by 5 May although I have all information on my iPhone and iPad. How do I restore the data on my iCal calendar?

    I have performed all the relevant actions required before 5 May to conform with Apple instructions. I have lost my calendar on my MacBook although all is still OK on my iPhone and iPad. I have tried various ways to restore the data including going to MobileMe but I have been unsuccessful. I have tried to merge the information from my iPhone but this did not work either. My Contacts and mail are all OK. Coincidentally I am also unable to access my external hard drive which is working in itself (it is warm and whirrs when activated) but my back ups are failing. Any ideas out there?

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

    I have Notes in my Yahoo email account. Some of the pages disappear or could not be found in iphone or ipad, though they are still inside my yahoo Notes
    How to make sure that all my Yahoo Notes pages appear in iphone and ipad all the time

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)
