How do I save all of the apps I bought on my iPad when I update to OS5

I want to update my iPad to OS5.  When I try, it says that I will lose purchased items off my iPad.  How do I save these items--books, apps, etc.  iTunes only downloaded the books that were in iBooks

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes you should be able to copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - that should copy apps, ibooks and iTunes media purchases. Other epub books or PDFs that are in the iBooks app should also copy over. eBooks that you have in other ebook apps should be backed up in the app's own store (e.g. Kindle books purchased from Amazon are on your Amazon account).
Before starting the update you should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
